Reporter good morning. Coa beh is under a mandatory Evacuation Order. I went for a run last night as crazy as it sounds and about 11 00 you could see it was a ghost town. Nobody was out. Businesses and homes for as far as the eye could see boarded up with plywood and many people had sand bags in front of it. The real concern here is the water coming in as storm surge, defined as sea water being pushed by the wind inland and causing flooding. Lets talk about the grand bahamas. The context of this is important. There are 700 islands in the bahamas. 30 of them are inhabitable. We are talking about two that have been ravaged by this hurricane so far the Prime Minister when we heard from him the last time said they are in the midst of an historic tragedy. This is what the aftermath of a category 5 hurricane looks like. Dorian has ravaged portions of the bahamas with torrential rainfall and wind gusts of over 200 Miles Per Hour. According to the red cross, an estimated 13,000 homes are damaged or destroyed in the bahamas, which is home to nearly 400,000 people. Overwhelming storm surge has swallowed entire neighborhoods. Video shows water that is waist deep and much higher in some locations, stretching for miles across the abaco islands. The devastation is unprecedented, and extensive. Reporter the punishing conditions were amplified when the storm stalled directly over grand bahama. Crawling across the island at just 1 mile per hour. Our mission and focus now is search, rescue, and recovery. Reporter the life threatening conditions have strained search and rescue efforts as distress calls were pouring in. This woman told a local news station that her 8yearold grandson drowned in the rising water. My grandson is dead. I just seen my grandson about two days ago. He tells me he loves me. Reporter the death toll is likely to climb. This photo was posted by a local newspaper showing bodies being loaded on back of a flat bed truck. Kevin tomlinson evacuated to a nearby shelter in grand bahama. We spoke with him overnight. You can feel the force and the pressure of the wind biting against the building repeatedly over and over, nonstop. But our hearts are still strong and the spirit of the bahamian people is still intact. We will rise from this occasion. Reporter there are reports of people who have so much water in their homes theyve actually made a hole in the roof in order to get out. Other reports that ocean water has gone into drinking wells and there is a need for clean drinking water. I spoke with chef jose andreas of world central kitchen. He and his team are in nassau right now. He said they have 3,000 meals so far ready to go. He is trying to see how he can get to the abaco islands or grand bahama to start feeding people. The bottom line is the bahamas are being ravaged by this monster that is literally just sitting, just sitting and spinning above them. Flattening the bahamas. David, thank you. Hurricane dorian may be spinning in place but it is also widening. Tropical Storm Force Winds are reaching parts of florida. You can see it starting to rain here. Of course some of the winds are in juneau beach and Janet Shamlian is there. About 100 miles south of us, janet . What are the conditions there . Reporter norah, good morning.

Many people are heeding that. There are 11 shelters in Palm Beach County set up. 2600 people have gone to those shelters as of this morning. Officials are warning people not to let their guard down with the path of this storm still so uncertain. It is the end of a long holiday ekend but it sure doesnt feel like it on this stretch of the. Stores, businesses, restaurants all closed. In fact, its hard to find anything open. Norah, i just want to show you and talk a little bit about the erosion here on the beach. We were here yesterday for cbs this morning and the surf and the high waves have just washed away so much of the sand. Its very dramatic, having seen it just a day before. Norah . Janet, thank you. Its hard to find anything open around here, too. Youre right. Officials do not want you to let your guard down. Well have much more ahead on Hurricane Dorian from cocoa beach in our next hour. Right now for more coverage lets go back to tony in new york. T you vy much. Scary pictures. Lets check the forecast with meteorologist megan glaros of our chicago station wbbmtv. She is keeping an eye on dorians path. What do we know right now . Already in the state of florida were starting to see those rain bands. Theyve been going for a while but theyll continue wrapping in. The system as a whole, though, is still stationary. Dorian has not moved. Earlier probably 24 hours ago it was on the eastern edge of grand bahama island. Now its barely in toward the central portion. We have winds sustained to 120 Miles Per Hour, so when and why does it make that turn to the north . Heres what weve got going on essentially. It is something called a trough of low pressure. And that trough is right here. You can see it very clearly because its that brown shaded area. What essentially that is going to do eventually is pick the storm up and begin to make that northerly motion with dorian. And thats when it will make its closest approach to the state of florida and then eventually to the carolinas, potentially virginia. So here is where we are by tuesday evening. This will be the closest approach as it gets to the florida coast line here. So by tonight, were talking about melbourne, fort pierce, areas around orlando, potentially in Tropical Storm force conditions with the core of those hurricane winds just offshore. Now, the National Hurricane center has been moving that track over and over, which is good news for the state of florida. In terms of a landfall. So lets take a look at that track and let you know exactly what i am seeing. The good news is, yes, it moves north. The bad news is parts of the u. S. Mainland are still in the cone. You can see by wednesday this is wednesday in the morning it is still a cat 3, about even with cape canaveral. Then accelerating on, off, a little closer into the carolinas here. What i think is going to happen is once it gets picked up by this trough it very quickly moves up to the north. Because then its in a moving system. Right now its essentially stationary because its lost its steering currents. We can see that charleston, savannah, very close to that cone of error. We still anticipate it staying off the shore line of the carolinas but theyre still in the cone so well continue to track this. For the bahamas we just need it to start to move. Anthony . Thanks, megan. By our count more than 4 Million People on Floridas Atlantic coast are under mandatory orders to evacuate. The reality is many of them will stay put despite dorians threat. That worries emergency responders, of course. Mark strassman spoke to people in st. Augustine beach southeast of jacksonville. Mark, how are they preparing for dorian . Reporter good morning.

Probably end up losing a shed but at least its not the house. Reporter chris allen almost lost his house three years ago. Hurricane matthew flooded his neighborhood. He says more than a foot of water poured into his home. We lost everything. We were out of our house for over a year, just about a year. Financially it killed us. Reporter allen is leaving for dorian. St. Augustine beach has a mandatory Evacuation Order. But other residents will ignore it. Do you have a plan b or anything . Sergeant Krissie Padgett is checking on vulnerable residents, Senior Citizens like 76yearold holly bozen. She is nervy enough to stay put. Ive never left before, see, and im not going to start. Reporter mandatory Evacuation Orders now apply to roughly 700,000 coastal floridians, age 65 and up. But no state law lets padgett enforce it. Frustrating . Yes. Because they are in the most dangerous, the most likely to flood or high winds and everything like that. Reporter dont mention flads to chris allen. Its why he built this home made dam before leaving. Matthew did not cut you a break. Youre hoping dorian does. Yes, absolutely. Reporter now with the churning surf here in st. Augustine beach, the waves will probably get even bigger as the day goes on. Here is what chris allen told us about his experience with hurricane matthew. That is, had it not been for matthew he probably would have stayed put for dorian. What it also taught him about a hurricane is this. It can get you. Anthony . Mark strassman, thanks.
