janice and the meteorologist started reporting the storm is coming that way. you know first hand. people s lives have changed. think about women having babies they have to go to a hospital and then they doo they go to another hospital. think about people hooked tomb life support in a hospital where do they go? the elderly i was reading an article in south carolina where they were removing all the animals from the animal shelters there and transporting them. zoo in south carolina. taking the flamingos and putting them under ground. severing affected. i m getting snaps from janice. what s going on? janice: update from the national hurricane center the center is about to make landfall near wrightsville beach where we have on own jonathan seare. they will update us. the lowest point of pressure now making landfall near wrightsville beach. and that s where we very steve: what does that mean? the eye is the calmest part of the storm. the eye wall surrounding that is where we have the cor
more storm. janice: people get fooled think it s over and then the back side. steve: just a little while ago the rain was coming in sideways and now it s calm. janice: pretty incredible. obviously the massive amounts of destruction are one thing and we are going to be reporting on that for probably weeks, but, a hurricane i mean, a hurricane is an incredible form of nature. steve: we will get out of your way. janice: landfall, we think, we will get official document from the national hurricane center. we do believe the lowest pressure point of this hurricane will be in wrightsville beach. that s just historic point. remember, the strongest core of winds are on the outside of the eye. so, right now, the calmest point is moving over wrightsville beach. we still have the threat for those very strong winds on the back side of this storm, so we still have that to go through. the fact that this storm is moving so slowly, again, that s the take away, the fact that we are going to have still o
pete: that s a big one. ainsley: look at this storm right here. pete: it has made landfall. it is on the coast line. janice: it has not. ainsley: making landfall. janice: it s coming this hour. steve: very close and slowly move across the state. jeff flock joins us from the fox business network. carolina beach where the storm is coming ashore eventually, jeff? whoa, you just saw maybe that flash of another transformer going. i will tell you that s the scary part. you talk about the slow forward speed of this or i guess the backward speed almost going south sort of, south and west. we could have these conditions for a while. you know, they start in fits and starts. that was another one. that one was fairly close. you can t see it from here. i don t want to bring the camera out obviously into the wind, but that was another one right there. and i think we have now lost power in the building although i do see some
over 20 inches in atlantic beach. the storm is just about to make landfall in the next, i would say hour we are going to see the calmest point of the storm, the eye coming ashore. and that is the lowest pressure point as it moves on shower. shore. there is top sail beach. we think the landfill point is going to be top sail beach up toward surf city. north of the wilmington area. that s where the eye, the calmest part of the storm is going to come to shore probably in the next hour. the worst part of the storm is the eye wall that s on shore right now where they are getting the worse of the hurricane force winds. worse of the rainfall. we have had reports, of course, all morning of over 10 feet of storm surge new bern, hundreds of people having to be else are could you you had and 100 people needing rescue us. many of these people are on their homes in at least tropical storm force winds waiting to be rescued. and that s why we had the evacuations. the national hurricane center by the w
