This is 130 miles to the east of houston. Thousands threatened as officials fear two near by rivers could overflow. This is happening as they are out of water today. Residents stood in long lines overnight hours before Stores Opened with little more than the hope that there would still be some bottled water to drink. The Baptist Hospital forced to evacuate almost all or all of its patients and an almost fourhour drive away north of the devastation, drivers in dallas panicking at the pumps. Long lines of kars waiting to pay 4. 50 a gallon. Anticipating gas shortages across the southeast. An incredible scale of devastation. I want to show you this in texas. 40 miles east of houston. There, as you see, unbelievable flooding. A couple drown there after accidentally driving into that flood water. 35 miles west of houston, this is brookshire, texas. This area especially hard hit by harvey. You see that incredible overflow. Once again, our reporters are covering the story from every angle all
Basically the size of texas as it heads this way. The storm is so concerning the people in this area have already gotten out. The reason some people left a couple of days ago was the video and pictures that have been coming out of the crib in the last few days weve seen them. Every time we see the new video, its unbelievable, the destruction taking place. Right now, taking place in turkey and caicos. Everyone is worried about that island. Basically because there are no mountains there as well. Its very flat. The storm surge, the winds, heading right over it as we speak. Very strong concern for some new people. Because of that, if you are on the road here today, before irma is expected to reach here in the lord to keys and key largo, the roads were empty. People were already gone and the roads are still open. There are still a few logos around. If you can find a gas station, the lines are pretty long. They will try to do what they can to keep the fuel in their car. The people that did s
Caribbean, setting its sights directly on florida. One of the strongest forms ever to form in the atlantic. There is a dangerous storm surge, trees falling. Power cut to thousands. Also just coming into cnn we have brandnew video. This is just in from the caribbean island which has been completely without communications all day. Take a look. Devastation as far as the eye can see. The Prime Minister says upwards of 90 of the island that has within destroyed. Nasa releasing brandnew images. It is incredible to look at this. This is stunning as you watch it scroll for just a moment. This is the eye, including the most damaging winds outside that eye. Those winds right around the center there moving at an astonishing 185 miles an hour. When you see it like this, its almost a beautiful and ser reen thing, but we want you to hear, to hear what its like to be caught in the middle of those powerful wind bands. That is saint martin. The interior minister there telling cnn that some of the stron
Wounds. Its a very dishonest media, right there. I really believe they dont like our country. When one part of mamerica hurt, we all. When one citizens suffers an injustice, we all suffer. I went to better schools than they did. I was a better student than they were. We are one home with one flag. I hit everything, the White Supremacists and neonazi, i got them all. Kkk, i got them all. There is no challenge too great for us to conquer. The on people giving a platform to these hate groups is the media itself. Wow. Welcome to morning joe. You know, for over a year now there have been people that have been saying you should not try to figure out the president s mental state and if he has any issues, dont try to be a pop psychiatrist or psychologist but i can say safely, willie that he at least has in its most advanced form plet call schizophrenia. Thats just from three days. And the back and for the is insane. I think what we need to try to dig into today is, first of all, how much does
And have seen some damage, however much of what weve seen so far has been really superficial structural damage. Lets say a couple of tiles or siding thats been ripped off buildings, maybe some windows that have been broken. But nothing compared to what perhaps some of our friends south of here have seen. And of course plenty of debris. Theres plenty of branches, plenty of tree limbs and street signs all over the place. Because earlier today if it was not grounded or bolted to the ground like this garbage can, it certainly was swept away. As for other neighboring cities i could tell you that we have seen very similar damage there. Weve seen some flooding on the side of the roads in getting here when we left san antonio earlier this morning. And thats been somewhat of a concern for us. Weve heard officials call it devastating flooding. Theres the wind. And we did see some of that on the roads, the water level slowly rising the closer we got to the coast. And that is a concern that perhap
