the chinese are sending an envoy to north korea. i believe they claimed there was no connection to the meeting they just had with president trump, but helped significant is that? i think it significant. it would have been wonderful the president was able to say that in discussions with president xi, he has assured me he is going to do more and he s going to do it sooner based on what director pompei has told the american people, we may be months away from nuclear icbms as opposed to years away from that. but he didn t say that, it doesn t mean that we don t have xi s assurance. he made a point of the fact that his policy, trump s policy and xi s policy are one and the same. i do think this is a step in that direction. martha: just about 20 seconds. with ice is largely out of syria, iran is filling that vacuum, big concern? big concern. we just don t have a decent strategy to push back on iran
anguilla. that is monstrous. we talked about super typhoon hayan, the strongest storm to make land fall anywhere on the earth. this was in november 2013. that was powerful. but this one surpasses that in the sustaining strength. this has now been over 30 hours with winds of 180 miles per hour or stronger. so, again, there s a big, big concern here. notice the radar. we re about 50 miles from san juan. so, we didn t expect the land fall in puerto rico and it will not, it will not make land fall in dominican republic or haiti. but notice the eye. now, just around the eye, notice that color of yellow. what we may be seeing here is one of those reorganization processes. it s called an eye wall replacement cycle where the strong winds in the eye fan out, create another eye, and then that banner, that outer band tightens back up and it gains strength again. now, this process can take 10 to 12 hours, but that s maybe what we re seeing here. we talked about it happening maybe two or three time
rico. brianna. big concern. realistic concern there. george howell in san juan, thank you, sir. you heard george talking about how unusual this is. irma is only the fourth storm in the recorded history of atlantic hurricanes to grow this strong weather experts are stunned by what they re seeing. we have seth borrwith us, a sci writer for the associated press. i want to show our viewers something. you said, i ve been covering hurricanes and storm science for more than 25 years and i have never seen anything like irma. what is it about irma that is so unbelievable to you, almost? the strength. 185-mile-an-hour sustained, not gusts, sustained winds, 185 miles an hour. so, when andrew hit south florida, and i was there for andrew, that was 145-mile-an-hour winds. sustained. 145 sustained. this is 40 miles an hour more. there has never been anything
the median? i keep hitting refresh on the national hurricane center website for when they put the official word out. they have said we are very close to the official landfall. the northern eye has made landfall. the western eyewall is now onshore. but the center of the eye is not onshore yet. that should happen in the next hour or two. we ll officially have our first major hurricane landfall in over 12 years in our country. by the way, this would also be the strongest since charlie hit florida, being a category 4 storm. here it is now on the map. you can see this bright red, this is the eyewall that is clearly onshore. the first thing, the big concern was corpus christi. that s the biggest population center on the map here, near the center of the landfall. they are being spared the eyewall, good news for all the people that evacuated corpus christi who are watching this, there was so much concern for their property. there will be damage, there will be trees down, but there won t be a
