john is in the thick of the bands during hurricane dorian. what s happening at this hour, john? even with the wind and waves splashing behind me that conversation with maggie was fascinating. i loved listening to every second of that. here they re watching hurricane dorian as it inches closer to the florida coast. and we re getting word the u.s. coast guard is now involved in search and rescue operations. coming up we re going to speak to a coast guard official and get the very latest on how those crucial efforts are going. roasí. meet sergio. and his daughter, maria. sergio s coffee tastes spectacular. because costa rica is spectacular. so we support farmers who use natural compost. to help keep the soil healthy. and the coffee delicious. for future generations. all for a smoother tasting cup. green mountain coffee roasters. are we supposed to dance?
chad myers. still in fact lashing out at the bahamas. freeport still feeling the effects of this storm as it inches past those islands. the u.s. coast guard is involved in the rescue and recovery efforts. joining me now is admiral eric jones of the u.s. coast guard overseeing this effort. admiral, thanks for being with us. i understand you have helicopters in the air at this moment. what can you tell us? thanks so much, john. yes, we ve got four of our helicopters stationed out of androse island. and obviously as chad mentioned with the storm moving so little overnight, it s still a big question of how much we ll be able to see today as well as if we ll be able to get in and take
by just after midnight melbourne 64. by tomorrow morning daytona, 62. up to jacksonville only in the 30s. we re still watching for a push of water here into jacksonville and also savannah and charlatan, temperatures there going to be cool with the heavy rainfall. winds somewhere around 64 for charleston. hurricane warnings are in effect and warnings in effect as well. some people will feel hurricane conditions as the storm moves up the coast. also, florida, 7 foot surge. right now what you have is 1.7 feet of surge. we ve been watching your location on our radar. there you are right there, and every time one of these outer bands comes by you get blasted with the wind. the wind goes from 30 to 50, and there are many more bands out here developing in the ocean, and they ll be at you all morning long and likely into the afternoon as well, john. thank you very much for that forecast. we ll be ready.
that we have, you are in trouble, you re in a dire situation, you need help now. patrick ottoman and your team, terrific work in freeport. hopefully you ll see that contact with the rescue are relief efforts shortly as the hours pass on. ken, thank you very much for being with us. the aaf update is in. we just heard from chad. the storm moving northwest at 1 mile per hour. what does that mean and what do you expect over the coming hours? i ll tell you, john, after being stationary for about 24 hours we ll take that 1 mile an hour at this stage. we re constantly watching this for some sign of movement. we think it s starting to have that northward jog. it looks like that s started but
rescue and relief operations. thank you very much for being with us this morning and help getting the message out. thank you for having us. so alisyn, again, the winds picking up here again might mean another one of the bands will pass over soon and the sun rising over the bahamas. patrick ottoman hopes to get out this afternoon to see the damage there. john, it looks very bad where you are but nothing compare today the bahamas so that should put all this into perspective. with dorian bearing down president trump wept on a tweet storm this weekend providing americans with erroneous information. why is he getting seemingly simple facts wrong? maggie haberman on that and more next. and most of that debt is actually from credit cards. it s just not right. but with sofi, you can get your credit cards right - by consolidating your credit card debt into one monthly payment. you can get your interest rate right - by locking in a fixed low rate today. and you can get your money right.
