see those tropical force winds and conditions through early tomorrow morning. then it continues past columbia just about as a tropical storm. 15 million people under flood watches right now, chuck. so that s going to be a day and a half of that. and then it s going to last right into here in the northeast until the middle of next week. and we re looking for another 10 to 15 inches of rain throughout the southeastern coastal part of the united states. and we re looking at wind gusts anywhere from 25, 35, to 50 miles per hour right through tonight and lasting on into tomorrow through the southeast. it s just going to keep the snail s pace, and it s going to cause more and more problems. plenty of flooding. a real mess for the southeast and later on the ohio river valley as we get into the beginning of next week, chuck. that s what i was curious about. i ve heard, for instance, i had somebody tell me for new bern, north carolina, that they have a flooding problem now and in about ten da
times. thank you so much. can i say something please, quick, quick? quick thing. the heavens declare the glory of god and the earth shows his handiwork. i ve live heardd here 41 years, this is heaven. a lot of people praying. all right, a colorful character there, but we hope everybody is safe. i want to go to nbc meteorologist bill karin. what are we really dealing with? this has a chance to be a combination of two worst nightmares. it could be a major category 4 or 5 hurricane. i don t think it s going to be a 5, nor a 4. maybe a 3. plus the wind damage which adds the storm surge. then if it stalls, you get the flooding problem. like you saw with harvey. we borrowed ourselves a little more time. instead of 8:00 p.m. landfall, now the hurricane center has it more towards friday at 2:00 a.m. i think it could go slower than this into maybe friday at 8:00
