invaluable information we get from them. we really appreciate it. if you don t like turbulence, don t take on that job, that s what you re saying. they hand you air sickness bags as you walk on. they fly straight through the storm, not above it, straight through it? different levels. they used to do low flying passes, like down low to measure how high waves were and stuff, there was a plane maybe in isabel, one am joy caught fire from sea spray. they stopped doing that. they go through, penetrate through the eye, call it the stadium effect when they get in there. they report when they re into the eye and look around, feels like they re in a football stadium. thunderstorm clouds around them are seats at a stadium. you hear them say it is like the stadium effect, that s when you have a well defined eye with huge thunderstorms around it. it is not often anyone gets to see that besides them. last year with hurricane michael, storm chasers were in that, the sun came out, even
absolutely, bill. thank you so much for taking time to speak with us today. the governor of florida, richard, saying floridians are not out of the woods yet. they deployed 2500 florida national guard troops, another 1500 are on stand by at the moment. richard? thank you so much for your reporting in florida. dorian could get as close as 50 to 100 miles of that location. we ll touch base with you later. let s turn to what the government is doing to aid citizens and first responders as they prepare for the destructive path of the hurricane. joining me, fema deputy administrator for response and recovery. david, what are you hearing, what s the latest in terms of preparation? good afternoon. as you have seen, dorian remains a very dangerous storm, even as the track shifts, it reminds all of us to remain vigilant. we re asking folks in north carolina, south carolina, georgia and still in florida to
businesses? they re less vulnerable than years ago. used to be that sand and the beach basically came to the sidewalk. but we spent decades installing this do you know, building it up, so we re much less vulnerable than in the past. we re very proud of the accomplishments we have had in that regard. i know from covering the storms in the past, richard, i have been with you as we have done some of those, there s a lot of debris flying around usually. tell me what the city is doing to avoid that when the storm comes. the city goes around, picks up loose things. we talk to all of the business owners, residents. we have great communication through social media. and we have a code read system that tells them what to pick up, when they shouldn t put out trash, when they should be doing that. we re prepares. i am proud of delray beach. we re more prepared than we have ever been for a storm, praying for the people north of us, looks like that s the way it is going.
street prone to flooding. i want the cameraman ronnie to point to where the water is. it is about 100 yards from where i am standing. they installed dunes there to protect water from coming in. that s where you re going to get storm surge and flooding coming in and putting many businesses behind me at risk. i want to bring in the commissioner here, bill, can you tell me how some of the structures are preparing. i see the visitor center is boarded up behind you. the visitor center is boarded up. usually hundreds of people visit there, get information on delray beach every day. a lot of businesses boarded up because that s the thing you need to do in preparation for the storm, even though it looks like it is maybe going to skirt the coast and go north of us, we never know where these things are really going to go. we need to be ever vigilant in preparations. i know your family has been here since the 1930s, you were telling me. yeah. tell me about the streets here, how vulnerable
watching closely, especially any liberal supreme court justice if they were to step down, it would tilt the balance of power further into the conservative justices, which is a big argument that a lot of people have for reelecting the president, and in november, despite the things he may tweet or indiscrete things he might say, the supreme court and economy are two main drivers of trump voters. thank you so much. another look at hurricane dorian for you. it is now a category 4 storm. winds of 150 miles per hour, moving slowly to the west toward the northern bahamas. preparations are under way as residents brace for a possible direct hit. hmm. exactly.
