up front of the businesses but right now abaco and grand bahamas, people are staying ahead of the storm, but we re already seeing telltale signs, winds starting to pick up, waves picking up ahead of dorian which is being described as a monster on the doorstep of the bahamas. jo? morgan chesky, we re watching those waves behind you. good luck and stay safe out there. now we want to turn to mariana atencio in melbourne, florida. this storm is looking to move in a direction and that may not be a direct hit. how are people preparing? i spoke to officials here from brevard county last night, jo, and they tell me they re delaying mandatory evacuations until tomorrow at 8:00 a.m., not because they do not think they will get the effects or hit by the storm, but because this is a slow-moving storm.
midland and he shot us again when he passed us. thankfully he didn t hit us or anything. jo, there s still, frankly, much we do not know here at the scene. there were cell phone videos taken here from this parking lot at the movie theater in which ultimately the gunman ditched his gold hontia and hijacked a u.s. postal service van. that van made its way crashing into a police vehicle here at the scene and that s where ultimately the gun standoff came to an end which officers took aim and killed that gunman. all we know at this point is the gunman via authorities was a white male in his 30s. as that scene took place and people fled in the parking lot and left the scene. it s closed down here. lights are turned off at the movie theater and there are still many questions. we know five dead, 21 injured and only now are we beginning to
here, let s show you here. for south carolina, a potential cat 2 here, this is about a 20 to 30-mile difference. if our next update shows a shift here, we could potentially see a landfall. just because the eye of the storm is not going to hit, you still have the outer eye. you still have the rain bands. that is going to be dramatic for south carolina, and the north carolina coast. we re not out of the woods just yet. as i said, jo, the steering of this thing, 20 miles, game-changer. janessa, nobody in the clear here it looks like. we know conditions are already deteriorating in the 0 northern bahamas, as dorian approaches. nbc s morgan chesky is in nassau. how are people prepare and for the 15-foot storm surges this morning? there s only so much you can do when you have a storm as
vaughn, what is the mood on the ground this morning there? it s still early in the morning here, jo, in odessa, texas. these are two cities populations combined, and that s where the traffic stop took place on i-20 from midland heading into odessa. as authorities have said, it was a gold honda stopped at 3:30 p. 3:13 yesterday afternoon. two deputies were in the control vehicle when he took aim at the deputies. one was shot and taken hot hospital and in stable condition. it was at that point the vehicle downwards down the atlantic 20, stopping at multiple points taking aim at otherwise random people along the road. eyewitnesses described the gunman taking aim, one individual saying that the gunman took aim at her own vehicle with four children. i want to let you hear from one of those eyewitnesses as this unfolded here. ultimately as you said it was ten miles away before they got
drop out. you look at small donor base, lock at cash on hand. i think there s a lot of problems in the joe biden campaign. ned, you said there may be a better democrat to take on president trump. who is that in your view? i have to be honest, jo, i m at the point where democrats are up against history and incumbent president if the economy continues to do well. it s almost impossible to beat trump. what happens if the economy starts to falter in the next thee to six months? that s the big question mark. do you hit something in say, summer of 2020 in which democrats wake up before the final we get to the final nomination, the final convention. do they wake up and think the economy is starting to sink, we can actually put an elizabeth warren or a bernie sanders and think we can beat trump. if they think somebody else is beat donald trump, i think the bottom drops out on biden. i m curious.
