next two days. and the annoying storm jose, five, ten days, yeah, i said annoying for a reason. irma is still spinning over tennessee, some showers through nashville and paducah. that will be about it. it drift torltdz thwards the ea. 87 in minneapolis. few spots 90 in south dakota. 91, dallas, san antonio very hot at 96. still thinking about people without power in southern florida and georgia. it gets very hot in those houses even with the doors open. interior sections of florida will be in the 90s. it is a little humid. it s very uncomfortable in florida this time of year. september is still very much a summer month. where irma is located, 60s today with all of the clouds. d.c., slight chance of a shower today, about 81 degrees. so, let s take you through the timing of how we re going to deal with as we go throughout the day.
having power, most of the keys that are south of us here now have no running water. yasmin. wow, unbelievable images coming out of that area. we re certainly thinking about the residents there that are going to be sort of dealing with the aftermath of irma for quite some time. thank you. president trump has another bipartisan meeting as he seeks to cut deals on tax reform. heidi heitkamp of north dakota joe donnelly of indiana and joe manchin discussed the tax pack acht with three members of the senate finance committees. the democrats each released statements describing it as a good and productive session. senator man chin said we just do this without adding to our staggering debt. the white house indicates it wants to make a deal with white house treasury secretary steve mnuchin promising corporate tax
reporter: you mentioned that so many of the homes in the keys were either damaged or destroyed. one of the places hit really hard mobile home parks. we re in one right now in islamorada. this is the sea breeze mobile home park. as you can see, the homes here destroyed. pushed in by irma s storm surge. unbelievable damage here. i am talking ripped apart at this point. this san area where there s very little power at this point. the keys hit hard. 7 million people in florida don t have power but most of the keys don t as well. florida power & light says they re probably able to restore power to most of those people who do not have it in the rest of florida buy the weekend. and there are places that have flooded and have severe damage like here in the keys. and just to give you an idea of how strong that storm surge was, just about three blocks from here, there was a pier that had boats. take a look at this. here s one of those boats pushed in by the storm surge.
going slowly. this is actually pretty good. it looks like the police, which have a station just a block up the street may have kind of cleared it some. it s really quite an event. the challenge now certainly that power 90% of the residents in this area without power. and, of course, statewide with more than 50% of floridians without power. but the experience itself was quite terrifying. we spoke to a young man, a college senior named jack lew ganbrewel. he tried to do everything he could during those harrowing mommy s. take a listen. there was a solid probably like 15 minutes where it was beating on the window where me and my dad were just standing there. the only reason we stopped is because it got to the point where we felt it beating so hard okay we are going to leave the room close the door and hope nothing happens. this story is still unfolding. things are raw here. people are going to get out and try to find things. we jest encountered a man
strongest atlantic basin hurricane in history came ashore yesterday as a category 4. still packing a powerful punch at this hour as it climbs up florida s west coast. ainsley: the monster storm leaving millions of people without power at this hour. brian: half the state u irma s lengthy assault packing winds over 100 miles per hour. ripping off roofs turning streets into raging rivers and leaving homes under water. steve: the massive storm blamed for at least 25 lives across the caribbean and five in florida, including two police officers as hurricane irma surges north. its path of destruction now sparking rapidly rising life threatening water levels. storm surges that could climb another 5 to 10 feet. the surge is still ready to come. we have not hit hide tied. there is a lot of unknowns. that s what you worry about.
