This is video taken from the island nation which took the direct hit. You can see those winds from the category 5 storm lashing down. Meantime, to the west in puerto rico, san juans airport is shutting down tonight. The governor issued a warning about that storm. Difference between life and death. Its really that simple. We are very, very, very worried. The last major hurricane to hit puerto rico was hurricane hugo in 1989. It was a category 3. We want to bring in meteorologist kari hall. We know irma skirted past puerto rico, they lost power, flooding, but nothing like this. It could be a direct hit to puerto rico. We are seeing the tweets from some of the governors on the islands saying one of them said, my roof is completely gone. That definitely exposes you to the elements. They had to be rescued. Now, that hurricane is just west of guadeloupe and it is over open water right now. It could continue to strengthen. It is now a category 5. As it moves over puerto rico, which has very mountainous terrain, it could weaken, but also cause a lot of rain. Looking at that moving into parts of hispaniola as a category 4 hurricane and into the bahamas. After that, theres potential to see it over open water or this may make a little bit of a shift toward the west. Thats something we will continue to monitor as we go toward the weekend and early next week. Kris . Thank you, kari. We are going to stay on top of Hurricane Maria on air and online. Head to www.
