at 6:00 a.m. on sunday morning people would be taking a leisurely stroll with their dogs or a morning walk or run. not today. people heeded the evacuation orders. they got out of here and good thing they did because this storm is serious. irma has arrived. chris? >> all right. i am not going to leave you out there like a crash test dummy, but i do want to get a sense about the storm surge. do you see the water starting to make any kind of move yet because the threshold very low where you are for saturation. >> reporter: chris, they're forecasting 3 to 5 feet inundation here where i'm standing. we're about 100 feet away from the ocean. we don't want to get too close to this because the wind now that it's come up so much is pushing the waters from the atlantic and obviously that's when storm surge becomes the most dangerous so any second that we see water coming over
