mainland to the barrier island that you can no longer see. atlantic beach that you see behind me. the brims on to the islands have been shut down. the officers are keeping people from getting onshore. the officers told me as soon as the winds pick up, they will be pulled off the streets and waiting for the brunt of the storm to blow through. they are getting to the point where being out on the streets is no longer viable. we are paying close attention to that as well. that is the condition here in more head city where we start to see the rain bands on the north eastern edge hitting into this part of the coast line here in north carolina. anderson. we will check in with you throughout this day and throughout the next couple of days and nights. this is going to be a long lasting storm of battering all
your time is running out. the ocean will start rising along the coast and in the back bay and inlet areas and sound areas within a matter of hours. your time to get out of those areas and storm surge inundation is coming to a close. i can t emphasize that enough. with that, the other thing that s going to happen is not only will we see high winds, 110 mile-per-hour sustained winds coming upon the coast. the wind field is large. there are hurricane-force winds that extend far out from the center of circulation that will not only inundate the coast but you ll see high inland winds as the storm starts to come in and push into the coast. coupled with that is large amounts of rainfall. you re seeing rain bands come along the carolina shoreline. the rain bands will be with us for several days. the forecasters are basically
despite that it has not stopped it from raining.the big island stretching across the chain, the heaviest rain we are seeing has probably already passed but there still additional showers. the ground is very saturated particularly on the big island. there is no way for additional rate to go. this is the motion of the system. it will begin to shoot off to the sea. in the very slow motion north to three miles an hour weakening as it goes off into the distance. you can see these are the forecast tracks. each of one of these, the spaghetti mild look at how slow that is. it means we will see rain lingering through the rest of the day before eventually maybe winding down a little overnight tonight into tomorrow. as far as the rainfall totals, their ribbon spots over 40 inches in hawaii s big island. widespread 30 to 40 inches per the further west you are the more rain you will get. i do think the worst of this unfortunately, the rain bands and the slow mover will continue to bring some additi

windows were going to break. and, yet, what happened to me has happened virtually to the entire state of florida, even pensacola on the far west of panhandle of florida is getting some of the rain bands. so this is a massive storm like florida has never seen. and, you know, millions of people are without power, 650,000 homes and businesses just in the tampa bay area without power. what is this state going to need in the days and weeks and months ahead? it s going to need a lot. it s going to need a lot more than the 15 billion that we appropriated last week for texas and florida. that s just the down payment. in october, we re going to have to come back and do more appropriations and then after that, we re going to have to do
