Its enormous size and destructive power and where it will impact people across the United States. This is how residents of the bahamas are preparing for the storms arrival, filling up their cars, boarding up their windows, knowing this category 4 hurricane could just sit on top of them for an entire day, maybe even longer. Lets get right to cnns chad meyers, the National Hurricane center has issued an update on the storm, the location, the track, lets hear it. As it gets closer, with cooler, air to the u. S. , sheer, down 5 Miles Per Hour in speed at a time, not really all that significant. We still dont get this thing in their forecast to be a cat 5. Thats good, goes to 155. Category 5 starts at 157. I know were splitting hairs there, but theres something there. 150 Miles Per Hour storm, 170 miles from great abico, 190 miles from where it begins to stop and turn to the right, 12 hours or 24 hours later, and as you said, could be 36 hours sitting right there over the bahamas, doing sig
Island, still playinggued with category 3 for 30 hours. Thats still the biggest headn are that you shake your head and were almost 40 hours since land fall and it hasnt moved much. But it is falling apart. Doesnt look as good on radar. 185 mileperhour winds. Now 120. Stale dangerous storm at 120. But the wacker eaker, the lower storm surge. Thats the way the math work withes. Hurricane center has the thext apositi position 125. Setheyre going toi lower the redicted winds along the path. Still about wi100 miles away fr the coast. But the wind gusts e extend up with 150 miles. And the closest approach late tonight. They were still saying autha. M. Is 130. Theyre going to lower those forecast winds. Because right now its 120 and its interesting. Because if you look at matthew, it was about 100ten. But it was closer than this red line here. So people are going to compare a lot to matthew, this may be further off and maybe weaker. What happens now also has efects to the intensity of the Sou
About this and also whats happening with Hurricane Dorian which has made landfall as a cat 5 in the bahamas. It is a busy day and i know all of the gun violence in the country is important to you. Listening to the governor there, and i know you recall his tweet from 2015 where he said, texas, im embarrassed to hear that youre number two in gun sales in this country. Do better. Yeah. Behind the state of california at the time. He did make that we have to do better. Didnt sound as if it was a little well, one might suggest he was doing that tongue in cheek. Almost in the spirit of a governors that will you know, or mayors in the super bowl contest. You can say maybe that was the intent but the message is not lost that that is where his heart and his focus lies. He says hes going to join together with Law Enforcement and look for solutions right now. But there are a number of solutions that were passed by Texas State Legislature in june that were put into effect today. None of which one c
Multitude of the departments to find this animal and bring him to justice. At this point ill take questions. Suspect been identified . Right now ill tell you that he is a white male in his mid30s. I dont have a positive identification on him yet. I have an idea who he is so i wont release that information until were absolutely positive. Are there any current shooters going on at this time . We have, we have had calls which is to be expected. Because, obviously, our citizens are jumpy after this which is also to be expected but once this individual was taken in, there have been no more is there a reason to believe theres a second suspect that is on the loose . There have been reports that that is possible. But again there have been no confirmation of that. Any update on conditions of the other people that were shot but are still alive . I cant, i cant tell you that right now if in, you know, the big thing is that it is chaotic at local hospital that very difficult to get that informatio
To talk about gun laws, too early to talk about Climate Change. They keep happening. Ali velshi, my partner here we are again. I am Stephanie Ruhle here in new york city continuing our break News Coverage of Hurricane Dorian. Tonight millions along the eastern seaboard are bracing for the worst as dorian continues to batter the bahamas. And according to the National Hurricane center, the storm will come dangerously close to the state of florida before creeping northeast along the coast of georgia, south carolina, and North Carolina later this week. Hurricane dorian is now a category 4 hurricane, and it remains devastatingly destructive. That is because it is traveling at a speed of just one single mile per hour grinding almost to a halt pummelling the Northern Islands of the bahamas which have already suffered catastrophic damage. Heavy winds and lifethreatening storm surges that have battered the islands, toppled trees, flips cars and are submerging homes entirely underway. Slow speed
