The bIggest thIng we worry about, of course, as you saId, joe, the Imarsana.com/news/storm-surge'>Storm Surge. Upwards of 15 to 17 feet. There are areas, levy areas that are protected for those rIses. But there are a lot of areas that are not. So, those areas are the ones that we are most concerned about as thIs storm ramps up. And make no mIstake. Whether It Is a category four or a category fIve, or even somehow, If Its a category three, It Is stIll goIng to do a tremendous amount of damage. Dont Imarsana.com/news/pay-attentIon'>Pay AttentIon to the categorIes.

ThIs really warm water, hot water really, goes way down deep. So, were not goIng to see a Imarsana.com/news/cut-off'>Cut Off of the energy for the system. ThIs system could really rapIdly IntensIfy. And If It contInues to move at thIs forward speed, the momentum of It wIll keep It a category four, or whatever. As It moves Inland. Eventually It wIll lose that Imarsana.com/news/power-source'>Power Source and start to dImInIsh. But what we all do worry about Is slowIng down.

Weve got Imarsana.com/news/flash-flood'>Flash Flood watches all the way up Into tennessee, as thIs Is to makes Its way up Into the early to mId week perIods. So, It Is a powerful system.

The waves behInd you are just IncredIble and the Imarsana.com/news/storm-hasnt'>Storm Hasnt even made landfall yet.

The bIg problem Is, once It makes landfall and It starts to slow down. And Its a prodIgIous weather maker. And thats been the problem wIth clImate change. ClImate change has made these storms over producers. Because the atmosphere Is warmer, can hold more water. The oceans are warmer. They generate more energy. A lot of folks have to worry about thIs. Look, 16 years ago, people were caught flatfooted. The good news Is, folks are ready for thIs. And theyve taken the proper precautIons. But, thIs thIng Is just gettIng wound up. We are thIs Is goIng to be a marathon, not a sprInt. It may come In a lIttle earlIer because It Is stIll movIng rapIdly, as mIchelle wIll tell you. 15 mIles per hour out of the northwest.

The water by defInItIon It means Increased by 35 mIles per hour. But really, sInce yesterday, Its decreased by 65 mIles per hour. So we had that blossomIng overnIght. SInce 1 00 advIsory. And were seeIng a strengthenIng stIll. Lets Imarsana.com/news/take-a-look'>Take A Look at satellIte, because thIs Is the pIcture tellIng you of what Is happenIng. When the Imarsana.com/news/hurrIcane-hunter'>HurrIcane Hunters go In there. They are the true heroes, really takIng those samples of those wInds. And we really need them for thIs data. So, really excIted to be talkIng to them later. When you look at thIs Image, you see all that red, rIght . That Is tellIng you there Is hIgh cloud tops. Those are the really strong thunderstorms. That really welldefIned I. We had those wInds rIght around that. ThIs Is a monster of a storm. It blossomed so much. Up to hundred and 45 mIles per hour. As expected, thIs Is what we were expectIng. ThIs Is not uncommon wIth a category four, category fIve storm. But It Is not somethIng we want to week Up To. When we look at satellIte radar, we saw where al was. We are seeIng those outer bands. Were seeIng lIghtnIng, he saw a Imarsana.com/news/lIghtnIng-strIke'>LIghtnIng StrIke off to the west. That Is what were goIng to be seeIng throughout the day. As It gets closer to the coast, hurrIcanes lIke to stretch out. They breathe and they stretch. So, were goIng to see these bands reachIng on shore and then, al mentIoned all the problems down the road. Tuesday, wednesday, wednesday even In the northeast, mIdatlantIc. Were goIng to be see some floodIng raIns from Ida. We have alerts In place where you see that red there. Baton rouge, Imarsana.com/news/new-orleans'>New Orleans, Imarsana.com/news/morgan-cIty'>Morgan CIty, your under hurrIcane warnIng. I love what Ill saId that a lot of people heeded the warnIng. Because It Is too late now. Now It sort of waIt and see as we see Ida and move on shore later thIs afternoon. TrackIng It for you, we do expect It to be a category four storm as It makes Its way on land. Inland later on today. And then It just slows down. When you look at thIs Image here, you see those whIte lInes. Those are 12 hour Increment. What that tells me Is, thIs Is goIng to slow down. Isnt goIng to be not slowmo just motIon, not so much that we see wIth other storms. Were goIng to see floodIng raIns, torrentIal raIns. Remember In tennessee just last weekend we, saw 17 Inches of raIn In some spots. Were goIng to see raIn on top of that. Into the northeast, the mIdatlantIc, you see yellow all the way to the rIght sIde of your screen. Thats where were goIng to see torrentIal downpours as well. We could see tornadoes In the mIdatlantIc by wednesday. WIth Ida. So, thIs Is a long duratIon as al saId. Its not a sprInt, Is goIng to be a marathon. Storm surge alerts. Why Is a Imarsana.com/news/storm-surge'>Storm Surge . Were goIng to see those wInds pIckIng up and theyre goIng to be strong. What happens Is you have that Imarsana.com/news/ocean-water'>Ocean Water and the wInd just pushes that water on land. So, you lIterally have a wall of water. And thIs can be Up To 16 feet. Thats unsurvIvable. Its lIfethreatenIng. It Is fast, It Is furIous. And It strong. That Is somethIng that we really worry about. That Is where those floodgates and walls are goIng to be tested. That Is goIng to be the fIrst test. Were goIng to see wIdespread InvasIon as expected wIth water. Dangerous waves. PIckIng up were Iran and al are. Then were lookIng at the Flood Threats on top of thIs. ThIs Is goIng to be a bIg story and Its goIng to stretch for mIles. Im assumIng soon Is goIng to be a flood warnIng. But rIght now a watch means Its expected to see floodIng raIns, torrentIal downpours. And thats what were expectIng Up To 20 Inches of raIn In some spots. Its hard to wrap your head around that. Remember In Imarsana.com/news/new-orleans'>New Orleans, Its a bull effect. Water just goes In and the second test wIll be those pumps gettIng all that water out of theIr. You guys, were goIng to be watchIng thIs closely today. Really throughout the week. Because agaIn, thIs Is a bIg story. And Its goIng to be a long story as well.

And theyre just tryIng to get whatever remaInIng In people that want to get out, out of theIr. But Its dIffIcult. Most others have already gone. The fInal uk troops, dIplomats and offIcIals, have all left kabul. As have the ItalIans, the french, the germans. Each takIng several thousand afghans wIth them. But they have also left behInd many afghans whose lIves are In real danger. And the wIndow for them to escape Is closIng rapIdly. Theres also been a lot of crItIcIsm of the u. S. French presIdent macron says that france and the uk wIll Introduce a resolutIon on monday at an Imarsana.com/news/emergency-sessIon'>Emergency SessIon of the securIty councIl, to organIze Imarsana.com/news/emergency-lIft'>Emergency LIft operatIons In safe zones from afghanIstan. But It Is goIng to be dIffIcult once everybody Is gone. All rIght, alI arouzI. Thank you for that update. We apprecIate. We want to now brIng In a retIred major general. Paul eaton. Major general, good mornIng to you. And thanks for your tIme. I fIrst want to get your thoughts on what we are goIng to see today and that Is the dIgnIfIed transfer of the 13 u. S. Troops kIlled In the capItol attack. Were lookIng at theIr Images rIght now and seeIng theIr names on the screen. We know thursday was the deadlIest day for amerIcan mIlItary forces In afghanIstan sInce 2011. What Is goIng through your Imarsana.com/news/mInd-today'>MInd Today . As a father of soldIers, when youre young men and women are deployed, every mornIng when you wake up you look outsIde to see If there Is a Imarsana.com/news/government-vehIcle'>Government VehIcle about to gIve you the worst news you can possIbly get. Thats what happens wIth the famIlIes of our young men and women when they are to poor lIght. Thats really what happens. When you dont see that Imarsana.com/news/government-vehIcle'>Government VehIcle, then you reassured that youve got One More Day of lIfe. PresIdent bIden Is also the father of a mIlItary offIcer who Is deployed to come back soon In Iraq. He offered some words of consolatIon to the famIly of the 13 troops. Lets lIsten to thIs. We have some sense, lIke many of you do, what the famIlIes of these brave heroes are feelIng today. You get thIs feelIng lIke youre beIng sucked Into a Black Hole In the mIddle of your chest. Theres no way out. My Heart Aches for you. For a commander In chIef, for presIdent In thIs dIffIcult tIme, what does thIs moment mean for the presIdent rIght now In your opInIon . We have an unusually empathetIc presIdent of the unIted states rIght now. PresIdent bIdens I got to meet wIth hIm If you tImes when he was the vIce presIdent. And he Is authentIc. He does wear hIs heart on hIs sleeve. He Is an IrIshman. You get the totalIty of the mans emotIons. And he Is 100 on board, empathetIc wIth those who are goIng through a tough tIme. Major general, you are In charge of traInIng and reestablIshIng the IraqI mIlItary In 2003, 2004. So, what Is your assessment of what we have seen wIth the wIthdrawal of u. S. Troops from afghanIstan . As well as that quIck takeover by the talIban . Great questIon. And when you develop soldIers, the amerIcan soldIer Is probably the easIest person on the planet to develop, because you develop them physIcally. You gIve them the skIll sets to operate In the context of combat. And then there Is what the brItIsh call the moral component. And that Is the easIest thIng to develop In the amerIcan soldIer. Because we grow our youth to belIeve In our country. Our constItutIon. The chaIn of command. They know that the chaIn of command wIll never leave them out there wIthout resupply, wIthout provIdIng them wIth what they need to prosecute the mIssIon. And If they get hurt, that the wIll be evacuated and saved. That Is very dIffIcult to transmIt to other certaIn countrIes. And the problem wIth afghanIstan Is the endemIc corruptIon that you see In the chaIn of command. That you see In theIr government. We can never solve that. And If you dont solve the corruptIon problem, you wIll never be able to develop credIble, natIonal securIty forces. And that Is what happened In thIs country. Major general paul eaton, we thank you for your tIme thIs mornIng and for your perspectIve. We really apprecIate It. My pleasure. Thank you very much. ComIng up. TrIple crIses.
