across the caribbean. the totality of distraction in some places is really mind-boggling. let s go now to isa soares in miami. you must be ready for it to hit there soon. yes, very much. you can see, mike, we re already feeling it. within 24 hours or so before it actually makes landfall here, we re already starting to see a change. not just in the weather, but in the mood here in miami. the heavens have opened. the winds have begun to pick up. our suv was actually shaking at one point. we ve also see to the right of me is the ocean. you can t see it. but it s much choppier. the waters are much more tempestuo tempestuous. that s a sign of things to come. hence why authorities have been telling people, police going door to door, telling people please evacuate. seek shelter.
