category 5 storm. probably saving hundreds of thousands of homes here in florida. david? yeah, stark contrast. so important, those relation r that changed after andrew. matt, thank you. as we reported at the top, irma is not done yet. it s going to be another dangerous night of winds and blinding rain. chief meteorologist ginger zee with the new track tonight. ginger? reporter: hey there, david. you can see the center in south georgia. now moving north-northwest at 17 miles an hour. so, it is cooking. it is trying to get out of here. with it will come a lot of heavy rain, especially west of atlanta and eastern alabama. and you can also see the tornado watch in place tonight that includes hilton head, charleston, savannah, all the way through 11:00 p.m. tonight. the wind advisories, those are for gusts up to 45 miles per hour. nashville makes its way in there. eastern mississippi. and parts of north carolina. don t forget, more than eight inches of rain still possible with this st
1992 with andrew. it s really robust. as you properly shutter your house, your house is on good shape. you re on the interior, able to shelter in place especially if we re fortunate enough to get a glancing blow rather than a direct hit. we ll be thinking of you along with all the communities up and down the coastline from florida to georgia to south carolina. we ll still be at this, of course, tomorrow. hopefully this thing gets shredded along the coastline and gets dumped down from a 4 to a 1 and takes that right turn and dice an ugly death over the right ocean. we ll fit in our first break here. we re in tonight for the long haul with so many millions waiting and watching the progress of this storm along with us. the very latest tracking for you when we come back from this next break. before taking his team to state for the first time. gilman: go get it, marcus. go get it.
don t have to worry much. what would you say? worry. don t focus on the category. we know because of the storm and the way it s approaching the coast, the storm surge values can be greater than what you expect from the wind speeds and again wind speeds cause power outages and structural damage, but the thing that is the most dangerous part of the storm is the water. it may be a lesser storm when you talk about categories, but as far as storm surge goes, that really has not changed in the forecast period and it s the one they think that the hurricane center has been emphasizing that is the biggest risk from the storm along the coastal areas as it moves along the florida and georgia and now forecast to go into the carolinas and the impact later on in the forecast period. you talk about the areas moving north. you are saying dire warnings still very much north. is it fair to say the areas this storm has passed through in florida and we are hearing dire
warnings that they have largely dodged a bullet relative to the predictions. they are able to get out and start doing the assessments of recovery. we knew from the forecast track that it was going to be 40 to 50 miles either side and they would tell the difference from heavy damage or lighter damage. if that is further out, it did not hit the southern part as hard, but as it was approaching, that started to change and the further north it goes, the more damage we are seeing. it is still occurring. we dodged much of anything, but the southern part of the state is doing better in the impact so far in the storm. fema administrator, thanks for the time. appreciate it. obviously we will have much more on hurricane matthew as it makes its way along the atlantic coast from florida to georgia, south carolina and north carolina. it is still moving. coming up next as donald trump and hillary clinton get ready
