Extremely dangerous category 4 hrk, 16 years to the day that Hurricane Katrina hit. Some could see Storm Surges of Up To 15 feet. The governor warns that ida will be one of the strongest storms to hit the state since at least the 1850s and the clock is stick ticking. You have a few more hours, really, to prepare, because early Tomorrow Morning were going to have weather degrade rapidly. This News Breaking just in to cnn, The Embassy has moments ago issued a Security Threats telling all u. S. Citizens in the vicinity of the Kabul Airport to leave the air immediately. This h is due to a specific and credible threat and it comes just hours after troubling new warning from biden on that front. The president saying his demanders are telling him that another Terrorist Attack in the Kabul Airport is, quote, highly likely in the next 24 to 36 hours. And as follows, the Pentagon Kirmg that two high Profile Isisk targets were killed in a Drone Strike overnight, retaliation for the attack that killed servicemen and killed others. The deadline to leave rapidly approaches as evacuations continue through all of this. Clearly, there is a lot of Breaking News to get to tonight. More on afghanistan in a emmonth. Lets get the latest on Hurricane Ida. Steve sadir joins us. A cat 4 tomorrow. Looking like that, poppy. In fact, its still a category 2 but were getting valuable data. The national Hurricane System will cycle that information and give it to us in the 11 00 p. M. Advisory. The tropical Storm Force winds extend outside ward 125 miles. Thats pretty much like we had with Henri Last week. The pressure is dropping, which means the winds are going to pick up. Landfall around midday tomorrow. Expected as a category 4. The angle of approach means everything. Its going to drop a lot of rainfall and by wednesday, its in west virginia. It will continue through the parishes in louisiana and by afternoon spreading across several states in the southeast. The circulation is important. Where this eye is as according to where were going to find it in reference to New Orleans, and that allimportant corridor between New Orleans and Up Toward baton rouge. This could give us catastrophic Wind Damage where the winds could even be stronger as katrina when it moved in as a category 3. Were talking several miles inland, with the high surge were going to be finding Heavy Rain trying to flow outside ward through the rivers and its going to impede the process. The water is going to build up and the Rain Totals are 15, even 20 inches. Its just remarkable and tragedy that this is happening 16 years to the day that katrina hit. Yes. Can you talk about the similarities, maybe the differences between the two storms, but how much better the area is now, right . Im glad you brought that up. I think what katrina as well as sandy did was unvail our vul neshabilities. Ida, the national Hurricane Center had a bead on this. Where was it going . Louisiana. Katrina had a longer life cycle. At one Point Katrina got Up To a category 5. It carried the water. The Wind Field was broader than ida, like four or five time. When it comes to landfall, if we have a category 4 compared to a 3, there are major differences, mainly with the winds. It could knock out power for weeks. Thats not the floodwaters are with the Heavy Rainfall in the hours that will precede. Tom, thank you for your team for staying on top of this. Well get back to you. Lets go to jason in houma. Look, the warning from State Officials is if youre going to get out youve got to get out in the next three, four hours. Right. Absolutely, poppy, because time is running out. If you look at where we are right now here in homa, houma expected to be Ground Zero of this hurricane, and basically right now its pretty much of a ghost town. Weve seen a number of boardedup buildings, some buildings with sandbags in front of their doors and a thats exactly what emergency. They are under evacuation. Some 35,000 residents live in houma. They are telling residents it is for your own safety to get out. The sheriff predicts that anywhere between 60 and he says as high as 80 of the people who live in how many ear and the surrounding area have more Loon Atlanticly evacuated. 80 would be a high number but not all the people we found said they want to leave. So youre not going to evacuate. Do you have any concerns about staying . Tornadoes and Wind Damage. Im worried about what were going to come to, go down that way. If they have any damage here, we have nothing. Is there anything any can say to convince you to evacuate . Drive me now . Because i aint getting on no interstate. Im scared. Im more scared of the interstate than staying in the house right here. So emergency officials say this is going to be a severe wind event. This is going to be a severe flooding event, severe water event. Thats can why youve got the governor, youve got the sheriff saying time is running out, if youre going to leave, the time is now. I hope people heed this warning. New orleans sits 55 miles east of houma. Look, its so close, officials are urging residents to take this threat seriously, as they anticipate big flooding, damning winds Up To 110 miles an hour. What im told is that this storm in so way will be weakening. There will be and already no signs again that this storm will weaken. And there is always an opportunity for the storm to strengthen. As you know, this continues to remain a very fluid situation, and we know again that time is not on our side. Let me bring in colin arnold, the director of the office of homeland security. Thanks for being with me. I know how busy you are tonight. Thank you. I would like to start to what you would say to someone like jessica, who you just was interviewed who said im more scared of the interstate than i am in my home. Unless somebody comes to get me, im staying here. Thats a tough call. Everybody has to make a call based on what they believe is the most responsible thing to do. Ok. We have given the option if in your situation you think that, especially if youre medically dependent, if you have medical issues, if you think that moving out of here, going out away from the city is a better place for you and yours, i think thats a wise decision. We also think and we have confidence based on what were hearing from the site, from the Army Core of sneers and from the Weather Service that, you know, our Hurricane Storm Risk Production System has been heavily invested in since katrina and this storm, given the circumstances and the timeline we were given and the sheltering in place is an alternative but if youre going to do that, you need to be prepared and you need to do it now. You need to be in your homes by midnight. How do you prepare for a situation where for weeks or months, thats what they said, some areas of your state could be uninhabitable. Certainly, its an issue. My main concern is the damage to the infrastructure. We also have a unique relationship with water in this city, given that our geography is below sea level. I think that we can we can sustain the drainage for the amount of rain that is being projected unless that rain is occurring within a very short time period. But i dont think theres a system designed that can do that. Were going to fight this as best we can. What has changed structurally since katrina that makes you more able to handle storms like this . I mean, obviously, the investment made by The American taxpayer into the Hurricane And Risk storm protection system, the Flood Control structures that are unlike any other structures in the united states and really rooifling some in the world. We have protection that we did not have in 2005, but i would say that people have asked me a lot about August 29th and what it means to me. I was here. This city has changed in its way of being resilient and its way of being prepared. You know, people take this seriously. We saw people out getting sandbags. Weve seen people in the store, getting their 72 Hours Worth of supplies, the streets are extremely quiet right now. There was a lot of people on the roads moving out. People will always remember August 29th but theyll also take lessons from that, i believe, into the future, including tomorrow. One thing we always are warned of as we cover hurricanes, is that there becomes a point where emergency Personnel Cant go out. If you have stayed or you have not heeded evacuation warnings, they cant come, and i just wonder if youd like to reiterate that to people who think i dont need to will to some of these warnings because someone will come for me if i need it. Its the toughest thing for a first responder to be told not to go help someone, because thats what theyre trained to do, but thats exactly what happens. When the winds are sustained at 30, 40 miles an hour, its not safe to be in a vehicle, its not safe to be in a Fire Truck or an ambulance, in particularly, because of the size of those vehicles, that we cant come to you. So there will be a point, and it may be six, eight hours, where it will be very difficult to get to, and people need to remember that. Colin arnold, thank you and good luck to your team tonight, tomorrow, and the coming days. Thank you. Still to come, biden warns another attack on the Kabul Airport is highly likely, this as u. S. Service members remain there on the ground. Plus, two high Proifl Isis targets were killed in a retaliatoriy attack. President biden says it will not be the last. The governor of louisiana says it will be the most powerful storm to hit his state since the 1850s. Stay with us. With Voltaren Arthritis Pain gel my husbands got his moves back.

Leave immediately due to what they call a specific and credible threat. Lets begin with cnns snr international correspond sam in doha, qatar. The embassy put out this message to u. S. Citizens but more broadly, anyone who might be able to receive the information that they have a clear and present danger, if you like, threat against the Passenger Terminals at the airport. This follows warnings from the u. S. President and earlier on in the day from the Intelligence Community more widely. Theyre saying get away from the airplane. We believe someone is coming to do something very, very bad at the airport. This is the sort of pressure that u. S. Forces have been working under, anyway, but it has now narrowed down to a more dangerous, more immediate message coming out from the u. S. Embassy, poppy, and this, of course, going on at a time when theyre trying to get people in the airport, mostly by covert means because the gates have been officially closed. Theres much fewer people arriving at the airport but still getting out in relatively large numbers. 2,600 in the last reporting period. Theyre not exactly sure yet of figures. More than a thu british troops have moved. The brits shut down their operation. Taliban shooting in the air. All this coming at a time as the u. S. Forces draw out the more vulnerable as they pack up and get their personnel and materiel out of there. Sam kiley, thank you for your reporting in doha. As the Tuesday Deadline approaches President Biden is claiming Isis Ksks is not the last. Lets go to john harwood. How imminent . Do you have a Scent Sense of how imminent more u. S. Strikes could be . He couldnt have been more direct. He put out a statement saying his commanders have advised him it is highly likely that there will be another attack in the next 24 to 36 hours. You just heard from sam about the more specific credible Threat Tonight thats led to an immediate depart from the Airport Request from the u. S. Embassy. Now, while this is going on, evacuations have slowed but they havent stopped. 2,000 in the last 12 hours. According to White House officials, a total of 113,000 since august 14th. Thats an astounding number. What weve seen from the president in the last 24 hours since that Suicide Attack is an ability to communicate. One is to resolve to complete this mission on tuesday, and the second is determination to hit back on those who hit u. S. Forces, took the lives of 13 u. S. Troops, injured many others and killed Tens Of Thousands of afghans. Heres the president of the united States Statement this afternoon. I said we would go after the group responsible for the attack and we have. This strike will not be the last. We will continue to hunt down any Person Spinvolved in that heinous attack and make them pay. When anyone seeks to attack our troops, we will respond. That will never be in doubt. Bottom line, wie got a very, very tense couple of days ahead of us before that August 31st deadline, if in fact, u. S. Troops are able to pack up and leave, complete their mission by then and depart on schedule. We hope so. John harlan, thank you very much. The White House said from 3 00 in the morning to 3 00 this afternoon, 2,000 people were evacuated from kabul. Our reporter is at the pentagon for more on the evacuation mission. I think the latest number i oh, Ah Remeoren was about 350 peopl left in afghanistan. Is anyone who want to leave still can . They want to get out. Thats a key kwavr. Right. There are some who have chosen to stay. There are only three days left of Evacuation Efforts if the u. S. Doesnt wind up sooner, that would be sunday. Its already Sunday Morning in afghanistan. Monday and tuesday. As sam pointed out, this may evolve to covert operations going out beyond kabul to bring american citizens to the airport where its the evacuation point. Ive been tracking flights on Web Tracking and you can see the c17 on the ground at Kabul Airport, one that arrived, as well as two dharp in the air, sbu the Troop Withdrawal that must scale Up To get forces and equipment. Is some equipment going to be destroyed . The pentagon said thats very much a possibly. There was as many as 18,000 u. S. Troops at the airport. We know some have left. That was a few days ago. The Pentagon Isnt expected to give an update because security is key and theyre not about to broadcast how many troops are left there, given whats a very dangerous environment around the airport. Given what just happened to them. Thank you very much for the reporting. On that note, the families of 13 americans serving in afghanistan are suffering deeply. They are mourning the loss of their loved one killed in the Kabul Airport attack. They were sons, daughters, they were brothers and sisters, and they were all so young, all of them putting their lives on the line to save the lives of others, leaving behind a legacy of selflessness.

Back o to our continuing coverage of Hurricane Ida which is gaining strength by the hour. The governor of louisiana warns ida will be one of the strongest storms to hit anywhere in the state going back to the 1870s. The national Weather Service says this storm could make some places in Southeast Louisiana uninhabitable for weeks, even months. Tom joins us. Tom, what is the forecast, and also can you explain how that could be possible, weeks or mobs of places made uninhabitable because of the storm . If we get 130mileperhour winds, those are just the sustained winds, and then throw in the gusts. Were talking roofs grown off we could be without power for weeks. Were not even talking about all the debris from inundation. Now, were going to see this landfall as a hurricane. That means a four of the last five hurricanes in the u. S. Have hit louisiana. This is also most likely as expected is going to be a major hurricane once it gets to category 3. The last two major hurricanes, where else, louisiana. We had laura and stayeda. Together, 120 Billion in economic losses. This is going to be a multimultibillion disaster. We just want everybody safe. I hope theyve left the south in plaquemines parish. Im concerned about grand isle. Some of the warmest water on our planet, unled fuel to the highest octane that you can get. Sometimes these smaller compact storms can provide more of a punch than some of the larger ones but were going to watch this wind profile. At the 11 00 p. M. Advisory well be able to share the track. But that puts the strongest winds on the eastern flank for areas such as New Orleans Up To baton rouge. Lets hope on the western side, good hundred miles per hour, it stays away from lake charles, so many vulnerable homes with the tarp still on thousands of homes and people still in fema trailers. Into areas of tp we could still have a tropical storm and it makes its way over westcentral tennessee. We dont want any flooding there. Thats west of nashville. Tornado watches most likely will be posted by morning. Well have much more coming up in the next halfhour. Poppy. Let me bring in jennifer pippa, the Vice President of Disaster Programming for The American red cross. Thank you so much for being here tonight and more so for what your teams are doing right now to help prepare. What is your key message to anyone in the path of this Storm Tonight . The key mem is if your local officials have told you to evacuate,s you should be evacuating, the window for leaving safely and getting to a place where you can ride out the storm in a safe and secure environment is closing quickly, so if you choose to evacuate, call 211, go to redcross. Org, or download our app and call, seek refuge. Bring your pillow. Your blanket. Some toys for your children. But take Care Of your pet, youre bringing your medication and important documentation along with that. Evacuate now and dont wait any longer. You were active In The Red across Aid And Assistance in the week of katrina. It is Tragedy Iron any that this storm is hitting on the 16th Anniversary of katrina, which is tomorrow. What are the lessons learned from that . Because of the frush, its better able to handle a storm like this. What are some of the lessons . I think with some of the complexities we saw with katrina. When you make sure people are taken Care Of, thats a massive undertaking and we spent the last 16 years learning every single time how we respond, how we can do something better or quicker, how we work in collaboration with local and government partners and weve learned this is a whole community that has to respond. The red cross plays a critical role, but so does everybody else. The warning from the national Weather Service is what really struck me most tonight, i think that is, and they said its because youve got Up To 15 feet of storm surge, Up To 150mileperhour winds projected. There are parts of the Eastern Parts of the state that they say could be Uninhappen Tabl for weeks, maybe months, so if that turns out to be the case, lets hope its not, but that means the work of the red cross is going to persist here for a long time after this rm to. Absolutely, poppy. Unfortunately, its something we have experience with. Even with Hurricane Laura last year. We kept folks in shelters for months, because it wasnt safe to return. There isnt an infrastructure to go back to. So we know already were going to be there for the next three to six months. Making sure that communities are being taken Care Of. Any final messages to anyone listening tonight . I know weve already heard from people in the state really torn, do i stay in my house, do i go on the interstate, im nervous to leave, what do i do . Yeah. I think if you can evacuate, do so. If you captain, theres some important things. Use Flash Light not candles. We see do not bring in outdoor cooking appliances. Do not bring in grills or heaters. Secure them during the storm but move them out to your driveway to cook. People bring items in and its quite dangerous. If you do evacuate, wait till the officials tell you its safe to come back. Theres powerlines down. There will be sewage and floodwaters. It is not safe to return until the local officials tell you it is. Thanks so much. Thanks. We are following significant Breaking News Tonight out of afghanistan.

They have told americans to leave the Kabul Airport immediately. The President Tonight again being briefed on the developments in afghanistan. The White House posted this photo of the president s national Security Team Briefing him on afghanistan earlier today. Officials say hes receiving regular briefings on the mission. President biden brings the situation continues to be extremely dangerous and the threat of Terror Attacks remains high. Our commanders inform me that a attack is highly likely in the next 24 to 36 hours. Let me bring in retired Lieutenant General mark heartling. Good evening. Thank you for being here. General, so couple what the president said, highly likely theres an attack on the Kabul Airport, with what the u. S. Embassy in kabul just said which is Essentialry Americans get out, there is a, quote, specific credible threat. How do you ham that on the ground when all of those americans and afghan allies are desperate to get out. Now theyre being told to leave. And our troops are there trying to facilitate the evacuation. It is especially in the final phases of what is being conducted, the nonkpatant operation, what were probably seeing im going to guess on this because ive had this experience many times is after the strike last night, a lot of chatter came up within the isisk network, and because of that chatter, whether it was Signals Intelligence that picked it up or satellite intelligence, you could see the movement around after that planner had been struck with the uav targeting, that others are thinking weve got to get The Americans before they get out. We got to execute a toll against them. But right now what youre talking an is theres limbed there are limited numbers of evacuees going into the airport. Thats what happens at this phase of the operation. Because were reducing the number of evacuees, the afghans, The American citizens and were increasing the Outside Flow of Military Equipment and the military to end the neo by the 31st of august. Youre going to see that probably change again tomorrow where its almost going to be almost exclusively military Outside Flow and even that has some really dangerous situations involved, because youre getting you know, youre transporting the military out and at the same time trying to secure the airfield. So while there wont be the crush to the gates, because im i would bet the gates are all closed right now yeah. They are special entries to buses. A Terrorist Attack could go against those buses bringing in evacuees as well, if they get intelligence of when theyre moving and where theyre coming in, so this is certainly the most dangerous time of this evacuation. Ive been saying that from the beginning. The last three days are the toughest time of any kind of neo operation. We saw overnight for the first time the first test of what President Biden is calling this new over the Horizon Strategy and capability, which is were getting off the ground and were going to attack those like isisk, who claimed responsibility for the attack on our troops there from the air with drones, with amenrmed missiles. How good can that be in preventing afghanistan from becoming a Breeding Ground for terrorists when you dont have the intelligence on the ground anymore . Well, there will still be some intelligence on the ground. I wont talk about where that is right. Or how its operating. Certainly there are going to be some Human Intelligence continuing to work the ground in afghanistan. Additionally, though, you have the overhead platforms, the satellites, the airplanes, the kinds of things that search for targets and listen to signals that come about. But make no mistake about it. The over the Horizon Capability is going to be limbed against key targets. It you know, its not something that you can mass 20 attacks a day or even 20 attacks a day. Youre going to have to look for the key targets, like a planner, like a leader, like a fm network kingpin, something like that. But you know, when youre talking about over the horizon, it just takes looking at a map of afghanistan, seeing the countries around it, russia, china, iran, uzbekistan, tajikistan, the gulf of oman. Its tough to get any kind of overhead platform. Thats what makes the over the Horizon Cape Plilt very difficult. Whats striking to me and i think a lot of people is that isisk is an enemy of the united states, obviously, but also the taliban. Yeah. Does this present a scenario where the u. S. And the taliban coordinate against isisk and how does that work . Thats the key question now. Its not just isisk. Theres ttp, Islamic Gentlemen had, theres all sorts of terrorist gangs, if you will, throughout georgia, all battling not only the taliban but also some of the local warlords who are also battling the taliban, so it is just a star Wars Bar Scene with a lot of people wanting o fight each other. Will we establish some kind of diplomatic effort with the taliban if i dont see that happening yet. But i certainly see the potential for gaining intelligence through the taliban or agents of the taliban. Its too complex to talk about how that might work, but i think some of the engame times and the Cooperation Weve had with the taliban At The Gates could lead, could lead, im not saying it should or irt will, but could lead to increase dynamics of cooperation. Thank you for your expertise, especially on a night like this. Yeah. Thank you, poppy. Ahead, a Life Or Death situation in parts of the south.
