Black line connected to monday 8 00 a. M. , crossing South Florida and just north of miami of course is where surfside is. Thats when the winds would begin to arrive. It could come a little bit earlier. Notice the winds hang around a while. South florida the Florida Peninsula is going to bear the brunt of the storm, which was a hurricane, now a tropical storm. The Hurricane Hunters went out and found the winds were 70 miles an hour. Below the criteria of 74 for a hurricane. Ive been watching it the last couple hours. Its lopsided. You see the red to the right of the symbol showing the storm. That lets me know the storm is noting a organized. Still has the potential to bring damage. The Storm Surge Threat is very high across southern cuba. Anywhere from three feet to five feet. Im a six foot guy. Think about the water from my waist to my shoulders. Thats a three foot to five Foot Storm Surge would do. The storm is just impacting the southern tip of the Dominican Republic rather, haiti. Heading towards cuba. Hurricane warnings are in effect. Even though its not a hurricane. They want to keep people abrett whats going on. The track brings it over cuba tomorrow. That will be the key Decision Point as to what will be the impact in florida. Because if it stays over the water of the caribbean and doesnt come over all the mountainous terrain of cuba it could hold together and strengthen. It could strengthen hitting the Gulf Of Mexico. Still a lot to look out before we know whats happening with it. The impacts will be heavy rain, isolated tornadoes and high Storm Surge anywhere from tampa to miami. So were looking at rainfall that could be in the category of four to six inches in some areas, fred. Thats not good news. At least on the picture here, the forecast for the rainfall near Surfside Isnt as high as, lets say, the Gulf Side of florida and over into the florida pan handle. Still a lot of time to go with the system. Well be track going for sure. Nonetheless tropical storms can certainly pack a powerful punch. Gene norman. Thank you so much. And this reminder for the latest on the storms track, check out cnn. Com weather. Officials gave the update in surfside, florida. Teams pulled two more bodies from the rubble overnight, bringing the number of confirmed deaths to 24. 124 people still unaccounted for. The mayor of Miamidade County says she has issued an Emergency Order to demolish whats left of the Champlain Tower South because of this Safety Risk of the remaining structure. Lets go right to cnns Natasha Chen on the ground in surfside. So, natasha, sounds like a race against time. Can a controlled implosion be pulled together that fast before monday. Well, fred, the storm if it comes this way its unclear where the path will take it. But if it comes through this area it might be late monday. And that is why there is a goal now to have the remaining part of the building demolished before then for safety reasons. The governor announced during the Press Conference once the greenlight is given this can happen within 36 hours, as early as tomorrow. And that is, again, for the safety of the people working on the site. And thats where i want to bring in captain Ignatius Carroll with Miami Fire and Rescue Florida Task force two. What is it like right now . How much danger does your team feel working on the site, knowing there could be falling debris . And will it make the job easier once the Build Something done. The one thing with Task Force teams is theyre used to responding to situations with a hazard. Safety is number one concern. We know that building is still considered unsafe, unstable. But anything that could be done to reassure the safety of the members working on the team is definitely appreciative. Yeah and we were told there is going to be a tarp over the area that has been searched. So that there can be a differentiation between whats been searched and what needs to be searched. And that could make things a bit smoother in terms of operations, knowing that there is no longer a threat of something falling on yall. Yes, it is. And all measures are taken to reassure we are not going over or whatever debris that may come down is going to affect our operations so that we can continue moving forward. A lot of things are being taken into consideration for the rescuers. This has been particularly difficults because you and i talked about how the Task Forces, Florida Task Force one and two, these are guys living in the area. And its a very personal mission for them. Just the other day a 7yearold girl, a daughter of one of your Team Members was found. You were there at the moment. What was that moment like . You had to call her dad over. It was very difficult, as you can imagine, being one of our brother firefighters. But it gave the Family Peace knowing that she was located. We were able to give the father of an opportunity to say his fare wells and gave him Piece Peace of mine as well as the family to know they will be able to remember her and celebrate her life. Thats the goal we have with everybody out there on the pile trying to do their best in the Search Effort to reunite families with loved ones. That must have been a difficult thing for you to see happen as well. What was going through your mind when she was discovered. Whats going through the mind of all of us out here we appreciate life and the time we have with loved ones. Never take you know, just life for granted. But the one thing that were very happy is that something that happened in our own backyard well able to give as much as we can and will continue to do that and remain committed to the mission. Thank you so much. I know that that mission continues for the families. And behalf of the families of 126 people still hun unaccounted for, 22 now confirmed dead, fred. All right, Natasha Chen, thank you so much. Lets talk more about all of this. Florida governor Ron Desantis spoke about the need to demolish the building. The remains of the building to ensure the safety of searchers. Here is what he had to say. If you have the building down and you start to see wind pick up, you know that may not even necessitate them stopping at all at that point. It depends. If they are out there, though, and you start to get some of these gusts with that structure there, that would be a real, real, hazard. I would imagine it would likely cause work stoppage. Taking the building down, given the fact the storm is coming and given you are going to have to do this anyways is the Brunt Thing to do. And i think it will he had lead to the most the course of action that most minimally disrupts the rescue efforts. The collapse of that condo in surfside has made other nearby cities question the safety of their own highrise towers, especially with the tropical Storm Elsa turning off the coast. I want to bring in mayors Dan Gilbert of Miami Beach peach and Frances Suarez of miami. Appreciate it. Thank you. Neither of you are strangers to threatening storm. But Mayor Suarez what are your concerns about the storm and the ongoing search in the Debris Field there at that clamsed condo. Well that Florida Task Force 2 led by the city of miami and so its a tremendous concern for our you know, First Responders who are there on the scene, who are risking lives, underneath very unstable ground in search of of the efforts below ground on top of piles shifting and moving. The building can come down at any moment. We had to stop work a couple days ago or day and a half ago because it shifted six to 12 inches. With a looming hurricane, its more important than ever that the decision to be to take down the building be expedited. And mayor, gelber, a lot of people in Miami Beach are living in the highrise towers in the Miami Beach areas. I wonder if you are hearing about worries being expressed to you not just . Light of the storm but in light of the collapse in surfside, what you hear from people living in some of the taller and older structures there in Miami Beach. Well, you know, this building that were talking about was literally on our border. So its a lot like a lot of other buildings in the area. I will say that as our residents are doing what you might expect saying what about our Place Weve tried to take quick action. Within about a day, literally Friday Morning we had begun to send out inspectors to the 507 buildings that are in the 40year recertification process. Yesterday we completed a visual inspection of all 507. We did more of others including the Senior Homes and also asked all buildings to within 21 days give us a licensed reported and electrical and structural engineering issues. Were not trying to inspire confidence. Were trying to make sure we take steps that address issues. By the way, all 507 of the five that were red tagged none for anything serious. We feel comfortable we are doing what we need to do. But we arent stopping making sure we are doing everything possible. Making changes as we we need to to. Mayor suarez, while its customary to have 40year inspections inspections for recertification and regular inspections already taking place on a number of of these tall structures, whether in miami, Miami Beach, et cetera, but flou that there is order of an audit for any building older than 40 years, in your view, how different are the inspections being approached . What do you think this newer audit and the deadline is by The End of july might reveal that the regulation regular inspections and recertifications have not uncovered already. There is No Doubt the level of scrutiny is going to be heightened. The second part i think is weve seen in many many instances people in condominiums and associations delaying often times needed repairs because, for many reasons, one of which is high special assessments. And i think this obviously this tragedy, you know, will obviously force people to realize that you cannot defer maintenance much longer. And also force cities to make the very difficult decision of having to as Mayor Gelber said, potentially red tag a building and force, you know, the inhabitants of the building have to vacate like haepd in North Miami yesterday. Right. And so Mayor Gelber if there is a controlled implosion of the remnants of collapsed condominium and you underscored that Mnichowicz Beam is up against surfside do you believe that neighboring towers in Miami Beach need to be evacuated temporarily, or maybe longer than temporary while that controlled implosion takes place and there after . Well, listen, controlled implosions are done with engineers and experts in the field. And they will let if there is some area that would be impacted they will let everybody know. This is something that there is a lot of experience for, and you can be very certain that one of the reasons why they want to do a controlled implosion is that i think they can control the spread. If there is necessity to vacate a nearby building, the building in our city immediately south of it is already vacated, you can be certain they will do that. I think the reason they want to do it is they think its safer than to let an unstable building go through tropical winds or worse. Mayor suarez, i imagine youre hearing from a lot of residents who arent necessarily only in buildings that are more than 40 years old, and they want to know, you know or they want to see more scrutiny on the structures in which they live. What are you saying to them . How do you reassure people. What were saying is we are reviewing all of our policies and procedures and laws and codes. And obviously this is an event that reminds me a lot of Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Hurricane andrew came through it wiped out some of the cities in the southern part of Dade County and completely radically change our building codes. And i think now we have safely one of the most wind resilient cities on the planet. And this is an event that is so shocking that it is for me its clear that all the cities are going to have to look at whether or not inspections should be happening earlier, whether certifications should be happening earlier, and what other laws hee need to be changed and looked at to make sure something like this never happens again. Very sad. Mayor Frances Suarez. Mayor gelberp appreciate it. Have a great and safe 4th week. Thank you. On to massachusetts now, 11 people now in custody after a tense armed standoff near boston. Police say the incident started as a Traffic Stop and involved heavily armed men wearing tactical Gear And Body cameras, according to police. Several armed suspects fled into the wooded areas, according to officials near the interstate where the Traffic Stop occurred. Authorities say the suspects claimed to belong Toway Group that does not recognize u. S. Laws. Cnns Evan Mcmorris sorento what more are you learning. Reporter authorities are putting together the details of what happened on this terrifying morning, and late night last night just north of boston. Authorities say that they have arrested now 11 people involved in this incident. They had blocked off parts of i95, blocked off roads in towns near i95 where in incident took place and even told residents to stay inside their houses as they did their search and negotiated with some of these men. That part is over now. Now the part to figure out next is what comes next. At a Press Conference earlier today, police mentioned just what they were dealing with when it comes to this armed group. I can share with you that a number of firearms have been seized. I cannot share with you the exact number. The two vehicles that were at the scene are being towed from the scene. They will be processed pursuant to court authorized Search Warrant and only then will we know the exact number of firearms seized. I can tell that you firearms, long guns and handguns are in plain view, and we anticipate those will be seized. So a lot of guns, a lot of Nerves Yesterday and earlier today, talking about what this is what this was and what might have happened. What were learning now is that these groups the folks involved in this standoff were live streaming some of their end of things from the road where they were and they spoke about the musgroves. Essentially they say the laws regarding firearms in massachusetts dont apply to them. They wanted to go on their own way and do their thing. But the police said that was not possible. And fortunately were able to bring it to a peaceful conclusion that now lets the roads be opened and lets people come back out of the houses in that part of massachusetts, fred. Sometimes you cant do your own thing. That was the message loud and clear on that one. Thank you so much Evan Mcmorris Sand Toro appreciate it. America is open for Independence Day weekend. A Record Number of travelers at airports. But whats being done to make sure that everyone behaves . Well show you the creative campaign involving children. Plus.

Our demand for gasoline reached a Pandemic Era high according to data from gas buddy, online website that helps Drivers Track prices. More people boarded airplanes in the u. S. On friday than any other day since the start of the pandemic. Nearly 2. 2 mm pass the Through Tsa Security checkpoints yesterday. Cnns Pool Sandoval joining me from La Guardia Airport in new york city. Polo what you learning. La guardia not as busy as you may have seen yesterday. Obviously the pictures from yesterday, you see a whole lot of Travelsoful Traers Brachg the frenzy to make it to destinations. There are people heading out today. When everything is said and done, Triple A estimates we probably would have seen 48 Million people head out either by air or by land and then you touched on the important figure just releasederier this morning by the Transportation Safety administration, showing close to 2. 2 Million people used security checkpoints yesterday. Not only a Pandemic Record but also higher than it was back in 2019. So certainly speaks to the confidence of people, getting out there to travel. A couple of big challenges for airlines, one, keeping up with demand. Making sure the flights are staffed so that they dont have cancellations or delays there. And secondly, unruly passengers, fred. Weve talked about this. This has been an issue airlines have been facing. In fact, the f. A. Chl a received over 3,000 reports of unruly passengers, marj of those having to deal with mask wearing. You still have to wear a mask in the flight and the f. A. Chl a coming up with a creative way of reminding people that they should be adhering by the rules. At The End of the day, kids telling adults, act your age, listen to the rules. A part of the p. S. A. Fighting is not good when youre on a plane. Theyll go to jail if they keep doing that stuff. I would be really scared. I would not like that if someone did that to me. They should know better if theyre like adults. Theyre grownups and they have to play a good role model. Pretty wise words and some finger wagging from kiddos. Coming to those who are avoiding Air Tral altogether they have to pay a financial price. Its about 3. 12 a gallon right now. The highest we have seen Fuel Prices in about seven years. Thats because of the struggle to try to find drivers to get fuel the service stations. Its not only just demand as well. Again, its getting challenging in terms of making it back home after this Holiday Weekend with the demand. But really just we keep hearing it, pack patience. Right, patience and listen to the wise division coming from the kids. And fortunately for me going through La Guardia everybody on best behavior. So good experience. All right. Polo sandoval, thanks. Good. Dont forget to celebrate Independence Day with cnn. Join don Lemon Dana Bash Wsh Victor Blackwell and Anna Cabrera for a star you had studded evening of Music And Fireo fireworks.

President biden just landing in michigan, where he is set to celebrate the progress of the u. S. Vaccination effort and highlight the benefits of a bipartisan Infrastructure Package. Cnns Arlette Saenz joining me from traverse city, michigan. What more are you learning. Reporter well, fred, the White House really views this weekend as a chance to celebrate all the progress thats been made against the coronavirus pandemic, as the country inches closer to normal each day. But it also runs up against the reality that at White House is falling short of meeting that 4th of July Goal they set to have 70 of americans adults with at least one Vaccine Dose in arms. Right now that figure stands around 67 . The White House has acknowledged they have more work to do at some communities remaining hesitant, and as the Delta Variant continues to take hold in the united states. But over the course of this weekend, you will see right at the top, top runnings of the White House fanning out across the country on what theyre describing as they are america back together tour. President biden here in michigan in traverse city, as well as another county in the state. And then first lady Jill Biden is up in maine and new hampshire. And Vicepresident Kamala Hair sis visiting nevada. As each of the officials is trying to promote all this progress that has been made against the pandemic. Now, in just a short while the president will be touring a local cherry farm. Whats also another dual purpose of this visit is to promote the bipartisan Infrastructure Agreement. He will be talking about the benefits that areas in michigan can receive if this Infrastructure Package is passed. But whats also interesting about these areas that the president is visiting today, that while the president won the entire state of michigan during the 2020 election he is visiting two Counties President Trump carried. It speaks to the point the president talked about in the past, how he wants to go into the republican areas to promote things like the Infrastructure Agreement so that can also get signon from people in communities who can in Turn Talk to lawmakers about that. But the focus so much of the weekend is simply marking the moment that this is a much different 4th of July Weekend than we all experienced a year ago. Here in traverse city, theyre welcoming the return of the national cherry festival, wellknown in the area that was cancelled last year due to the pandemic. But today the white House And Country really just marking closer how much closer we are getting to normal compared to last year. All right. Arlette saenz in michigan, thanks for that.

[man] i will tell you this, southern new Hampshire University can change the whole trajectory of your life. uplifting music a shady divide, its the title of of a new piece in the National Geographic Magazine that takes a fascinating look at the dangerous consequences of cities without trees. And it unfortunately disproportionately happens more in black and brown communities. And thats what former Climate Scientists Alejandro Burnda in a piece she wrote for this Months Issue of National Geographic Magazine. Alejandra, good to see you. You write about Climate Change for the national geographic. In your research here, should we blame systemic racism on the disparities of cool comforts in Los Angeles . Yeah, thanks so much for having me. Thats a really good question. I think there is some clear evidence that decisions made in the past and continue to be made in the present have really clear impacts on the actual physical environments in which people live today, right . So in some parts of Los Angeles and this is true for cities across the country, not just l. A. , richer often whiter neighborhoods have, you know, 20, 30, 40 Tree Cover. A lot more beautiful trees keeping people cool. In some of the places we looked at in l. A. , the Tree Cover is in the single digits. And that has really huge impacts both on the temperature of the different neighborhoods and on the health of the people that live there. So by design, there are fewer shady trees in mostly black and brown neighborhoods in Los Angeles rather than wealthier neighborhoods. Can you help explain why in came to be . Yeah, so, i mean, this is the outcome of a whole lot of Public Policy Decisions that have been made over many, many, many years. But one of the really clear patterns that we see is in neighborhoods that were formerly red lined there are way fewer trees. Red lines with the neighborhoods in the 1930s by federal government in which they literally drew red lines around some neighborhoods and green lines around others. And made it harder for people In The Red lined neighborhoods to get federally backed housing loans. That had this really longstanding impact. Because housing is one of the ways, you know, we build wealth in this country. And directs where Public Funds end up. And so In The Red line neighborhoods you ended up with a lot less public funding going into these places. And the cycle of disinvestment and one of the ways you can see that is trees. Trees take a Lot Money to plant, to take care of. When there arent trees that to me is a signal that this neighborhood has been has been ignored by either local or federal government. So while everlasting sunshine is a huge Marketing Plug for southern california, also a dangerous reality, you write in national geographic during a short Heat Wave the Death Rate from all causes rises by 8 above normal after four or five days that number swells to 25 and up to 48 among older black and latino residents. Its hot, dry and obviously can be lifethreatening. Its also now an issue of money. And you touched on that. Its going to be costly to get these Shade Trees where they havent been, plus maintaining them. So whats the journey like to get that to happen . Yeah, thats a great question. I think the first step is is to recognize this disparity and to recognize it in Los Angeles, portland oregon, new york city. This is a pattern that exists in major cities across the country. And it is a thing that we really should be putting kind of at the forefront of our solutions now when were thinking about how to deal with Climate Change now and in the future. Los angeles, i think, is doing really good job of thinking about this and talking about this. And this is in respect of l. A. And this is in respect to l. A. Planning to plant 90,000 trees by The End of this year with a focus on these neglected neighborhoods. So, how will they be able to do that by getting these trees and this shade and distributing it in a more equitable way to really change lives. I think thats exactly it. We have to put a lot more trees in the ground. We have to protect the trees that already exist. And when we put them in the ground now we have to make sure that were thinking about where to put them and put them in places that have not historically gotten the kind of reinvestment that other places have.

Get published now, call for your free Publisher Kit Today some incredible video emerging of what looks like a large eye of fire in the Gulf Of Mexico. Mexican authorities say the fire burned for more than five hours fueled by a Gas Leak from an underwater pipeline making it look like the gulf itself was on fire. There were no injuries reported. Mexicos Oil Safety Regulator said there was no spill as a result of the leak and the company says the pipeline has been closed off or capped. I want to bring in jules jaffey. So good to see you. Thanks for having me on. You just have to explain what our eyes are seeing, which is how does fire burn in water . Yeah. Well, you know, its kind of like if youre in your kitchen and you put the gas on and you light it up, it blows up. So now imagine you have a gas, in this case some methane, which is the stuff we use, but all kinds of other gases and theyre leaking out of a pipe thats around 12 inches in diameter. Since the gas is lighter than water, it actually rises in the water column. What youre seeing is a huge burst of flames because probably that gas is not really spreading out very much and theres a huge bubble of gas. Then it will just burst into flames. So then what likely caught it on fire, though . If youve got this plume or this torchlike behavior of this gas thats coming out of this pipeline, what actually ignited it likely . Thats a great question. In my research this morning, i went online and i discovered that there were actually severe storms there with lightning events. So possibly it was ignited by lightning. What . So possibly ignited by lightning . What for some other possibilities . Wow. Well, you know, i dont want to be accusing of the mexican workers, but maybe somebody threw a cigarette in the ocean, not imagining that there was a huge ball of volatile gas there. I dont mean to be disparaging on them, but thats the other possibility. Oh, my gosh. This is extraordinary. So then with while we talk about we have become somewhat familiar with what happens in the Gulf Of Mexico if there is an Oil Leak and the detriment it brings to marine life. But in the case of this, and we Cant Help but forget what happened in 2010, right . But in the case of this, where were talking about gas, is there potential danger to marine life . Yeah, so thats a really great question. I think the risks are much lower because if it just bubbles to the surface, then the marine Layer Life that lives deeper down in the ocean will probably be much less affected. So im sort of happy about that. And then the other aspect is if its actually burnt, the methane, which is a huge villain in greenhouse gas, were better off having Carbon Dioxide so in fact burning it is probably beneficial for the environment itself. Wow, this is fascinating. So, jules, you mentioned that the pipeline may be like 12 inches in diameter. Would you be able to venture to guess how deep below the surface the actual pipeline is . You mentioned there would be this space of this plume of gas and then somehow as it got closer to the surface thats where it would burn. But then how deep is the gas spewing . Yeah. Part of my Research Assignments this morning were to go on and look at you know, theres a huge amount of information about the Sea Floor that your viewers can go and peruse themselves. Unfortunately, i didnt get to that this morning. I dont really know. Okay. So i will have to plead ignorance. Thats okay, im learning a lot nonetheless from you, oceanographer. Thank you very much. Yes. Is this rare . I mean ive never seen it before but that doesnt mean for all i know its rather common and ive just missed it over the years. But is this rare . Well, youre asking another hard question. Im not ashamed to admit it. But if it is rare, then the reason we dont know about it is because it is rare. But if it happens more often appeared the volatile gases just bleed out and go into the atmosphere, then we wouldnt know about it as well. But i think all of us, and im not an expert in gas exploration, are worried about these Aging Platforms and ensuring their safety through inspection, of course. We hope theyre doing a wonderful job in ensuring not only the safety of the people on their Oil Rigs but also the safety of the planet as well. Yeah. Jules jaffe, thank you so much. That is unbelievably fascinating. I appreciate your curiosity and your research and all of your answers. Thank you. Thank you very much. Great to be with you. Thank you, fantastic. All right. In what has become a rare moment these days, we saw Prince William and Prince Harry reunite this week to unveil a statue of their mother, princess diana. And there it is. You see them standing back and taking a look themselves. The statue unveiled on what would have been the princess of wales 60th birthday. It was commissioned by the brothers a few years ago to memorialize their mother as well as mark the 20th Anniversary of her death. The Largerthanlife Bronze Statue will be placed in the new Sunken Garden at kensington palace. Tonight join Clarissa Ward in a Search For The Truth about princess Dianas Life and tragic death. Cnns special report, diana, chasing a fairy tale, begins tonight at 9 00. Hello again, everyone. Thank you for joining me this Holiday Weekend. Im fredricka whitfield.
