Since this morning. Fema put out this figure, 90 of the structures have some form of damage i talked to an official from key west who said that was too high an estimate. What do you think . Reporter well, you know, i dont know about 90 . Its so interesting because the structures that are along the Atlantic Ocean which took the brunt of the force are those on the inside that took the dirty edge, are fortified. Some of the steepest damage is inside these keys where the houses arent as structurally strong. Ill show you some video of marathon key. We went ashore. I saw this building that had looked like laundry hanging from the railings and thought boy, theres a sign of life and went there. It is so stunning to see what the waves did with all the sand. Some keys dont have beaches, but this one did, and it blew the sand up into the lobby of this condo, condominium, in through parking garage, against the door where the sand was at least three feet high. It was so surreal, which then lowered
It is so stunning to see what the waves did with all the sand. Some keys dont have beaches, but this one did, and it blew the sand up into the lobby of this condo, condominium, into through parking you cant do up against the door where the sand was at least three feet high. It was so surreal, which then lowered the ceilings. I found one guy there who was the lone holdover, the caretaker of this condominium complex, a guy named william dub richardson. I said why doesnt leave . He said im the caretaker, this is my job. He hung out there and rode it out. He thought this fortified structure would come down a couple times, but it didnt, and he survived. Everyone who stayed survived. He hung this tattered American Flag from those railings as a symbol they made it through and they would rebuild, anderson. Just amazing. Bill weir, we appreciate that. I want to go to brian todd. Brian, what have you been seeing today . Anderson, this is part of the southern part of the mora da island. This is t

But in terms of concrete consequences, here is the best i can tell. The government is funded again for 17 more days. So thats why i say were maybe shutting down again two weeks from thursday on february 8th. The chip program, which is almost literally the least controversial seriously consequential policy in washington, the chip program which nobody is against, which provides Health Insurance to 9 million kids and lots of pregnant women, that chip program did finally get reupped. Republicans had let that program expire in september. Again, this is not a controversial program, at all. Which means they could have held a vote to reauthorize this any time in the past year, let alone since it expired but until we have this ridiculous threeday shutdown this weekend, they wouldnt do it. But now they have. Chip reauthorized for six years. This means parents who have kids who are in ongoing treatment for any kind of illness, they no longer have to worry that their kids Health Insurance is about
