Under a hurricane warning. But louisiana especially new orleans is bracing for a possible hurricane. The governor has already declared a state of emergency. New orleans mayor has already warned residents to shelter in place wherever you plan to be by tomorrow night. The storm has turned deadly in central america, honduras, nicaragua as well, at least 21 people are confirmed dead there. Cnn meteorologist Allison Chinchar is tracking the storm for us and this 2 00 advisory just came out. What does it say . Pretty much what weve been expecting. Weve been expecting to intensify as it goes through the gulf of mexico within the next 24 hours. Winds are gusting to 65. The Forward Movement is pretty fast at about 21 miles per hour. Now, the concern will be once it gets back out over the open gulf, this is where we expect it to intense fixt the question is how quickly can it intensify before it makes landfall. At this point the National Hurricane center believes it will only be able to intensify up to category one strength but there are models that could believe it could get as high as d category 2. The number itself isnt the important part, its going to impact nearly a dozen states. We have the Tropical Storm watches and warnings and hurricane watches and warnings, the pink and red color all along the gulf coast. Storm will be a big threat including new orleans and much of louisiana and mississippi. 4 to 7 feet of storm surge possible. Then when you get over towards florida, youre talking 2 to 4 feet for panama city and pensacola. We do have storm surge warnings in the dark pink and storm surge watches for areas of florida because of that threat. Winds are going to be a big concern as the system edges closer, around landfall, you could look at wind gusts, 60 to 100 miles per hour. Even atlanta, chattanooga and knoxville and from there on, you could also be looking at dangerous wind gusts to bring trees down and power lines down. Then we talk about rainfall. This model plot is somewhere in the middle. You have some models that put out smaller numbers and some put out higher numbers. Widespread youll be looking at 2 to 5 inches of rain. But there will be heavier pockets that get put into some of those really strong thunderstorms bands, brianna, that could produce as much as 10 inches of rain. They are going to be isolated in spots but thats going to be a big concern. Again, this is not only a concern for the areas that may take the landfall but for the dozen of states in the eastern u. S. That will also be impacted by nate as it continues to move. People in a wide swath of the gulf coast concerned. We know youre keeping an eye on things for them. Thank you so much. Were now learning that the man who murdered 58 people in las vegas, he wanted to know precisely where his deadly bullets were going. A Law Enforcement source tells cnn the gunman tried to buy but failed to buy tracer ammunition, tracers let you know where bullets are going. Meantime, some puzzling news from the New York Times about the note that was left behind in the hotel room. It is not a suicide note or manifesto. Its a list of numbers and needless to saybeing a analyzed carefully. Cnn went two floors above the one he had during the sniper style attack. This is my first time being up here and looking at this and to me its very eerie. Sheehan spent 13 years on s. W. A. T. Team and from this Vantage Point has a clearer view of the tactics and planning. He requested an east facing room because if we pan over and look to the east where his room is, lets look, the tower is over there. Theres the room that he shot from. And now we pan east and look, theres no way to get a counter sniper up a level position to effectively take this man out. Firing from a room like the one were in, if you knock out this window and fire toward them, ha doesnt work. We wouldnt be able to see him more than likely because were not seeing deep enough into the room. Only when he fires will we be able to see him. The choice of room put the s. W. A. T. Team at the disadvantage, one multiplied by fact that he blocked the stair well door and wired the hallway with cameras to see a Security Guard and later police approaching. Because of his Counter Measures placing the peephole in hallway, he observed the Security Guard and in fear that he was about to be breached. So he was doing Everything Possible to figure out how he could escape at that point. Sheehan believes if paddock escaped it wouldnt have been for very long. Theres one of three ways its going to end and they will all know this. Youre going to commit suicide, die in a hail of gunfire with police, shoot it out with them and youll be killed, or you are going to continue on a preplauned rampage until the police finally stop you. You dont believe an escape meant escape for good, just to how could it . Because he rented the room in his own name. Hes already on video coming in and out. Hes going to be the most wanted man in the world if he does try to leave here. All 58 murder victims have now been identified. They are now remembered by these markers that you see there on your screen on the las vegas strip. They were handmade by a man from illinois. I want to bring Marianne Otoole former profiler for the fbi and phillip banks. I want to ask you first about this cryptic note. Its not a manifesto, doesnt seem to be a suicide note and it seems like normally that is what you would see a shooter put in place, giving some insight into what the motive was. This is numbers . You know, everything about this shooting is very peculiar and strange and doesnt fit the pattern of past shootings. Im not sure. It seems like im not certain this individual is not looking to leave that location and go to another location, was that note supposed to take with him . Is he communicating or planning to communicate with someone else who had knowledge of the plan or sharing any type of philosophy. Im not sure. We need to learn more about the note. What would make you think he would be going to another location . One, he didnt have the note itself. Its very cryptic, were not deciphering it, its not a suicide note orphan festo, it has to be a form of communication that someone understands what the language was could decipher. Law enforcement is not able to decipher right now. Most times they want the reasons for the actions to be known readily. I want you to listen to someone that the gunmans hair dresser said. She spoke to cnn. Lets listen. In the last time i saw him was probably only two months ago. It was just about two months ago. He came in and got his hair cut and again, smelled of alcohol. And his girlfriend was with him and again, just kind of doing her thing and he sat down and was telling me about her leaving to go to the philippines and he was going to be home alone hanging out for a while by himself. It wasnt it wasnt anything weird or it wasnt anything that seemed off. Okay, so shes saying there, that he was talking about Marilou Danly going to the philippines two months ago. Her lawyer says he surprised her with tickets two weeks ago. Do you buy that claim she didnt know anything was going on . Well, its still possible that she doesnt know what she knows. But she was there and quote unquote doing her thing. Did she overhear that . What does that mean she was doing her own thing . Maybe she chose to simply ignore it but it certainly does suggest if she was there and close enough to overhear that, she would have been aware of it and it was clearly two months not two weeks if the hair dresser is being accurate. So it is certainly from our perspective, i would sit down and ask her to reconcile that in terms of you were there, this is what supposedly you should have overheard. Lets talk more about the trip to the philippines. To get more information on that. We do have news just in. I want to tell viewers, sources are telling cnn, investigators believe that the shooter rigged his car to explode if fired upon. There were 90 pounds of explosives inside, phil lip, what do you make of that . One, i dont believe that when he started this that he had made a conscious decision he was going to end his life at that particular point. He knew it was going to end one way, there, im not sure. Evidence would suggest that he was possibly thinking about getting into the car, looking to go an escape route to continue his carnage and if in fact he would be intercepted by police at that particular point there, he could use that car as a weapon to take down more innocent people. Mary ellen, we have this just in. Sources telling cnn the gunman took 20 cruises, many to foreign ports in europe and middle east. So investigators are trying to put a profile together. Is that a of significance to you . It is because it gives us a lot more insights into what his behavior was like on those cruises, what was he doing . Was he also involved in doing surveillance of other locations internationally . Was he traveling with other people . If so, who are they . That would give them additional people to interview. What was his behavior like . Were these specific kinds of cruises, in other words, were they all gambling cruises . What were his losses and what were his winnings . It really strengthens the overall view that they so desperately need of this individual. What do you make of that car, that his car was rigged with 90 pounds of explosives . It goes again to how elaborate this whole plan was for him and how spectacular this was going to be, that he wanted it to be. It wasnt just now the shooting outside the window. It was now this other part b to the plan. So he was building an incredibly sensational extraordinary homicide plan that to do Something Like this, he doesnt want to crawl away and live in a home in illinois afterwards. He wanted credit for this. He wanted people to know who exactly that he was. That really does go to a strong powerful sense of grand youscy, even coming from secretive, you could have the same two traits in one individual. He wanted to kill a lot of people, damage that hotel and get credit for all of it. Thats very clear. Some of the motive obviously unclear but we are learning something the gunman tried to purchase, that being tracer ammunition, which is fos forrous tips, he tried to buy it in arizona, couldnt buy it with the other ammo, it wasnt available from the seller. As i understand he could have purchased that in nevada but in the end he chose not to. What does that tell you . I dont know what that tells you. I do know the pyrotechnic would have worked to his advantage, it gives you its a pyrotechnic and see where youre firing or misfiring at. If you want to aim in at targets. At night, in military situations. Correct. Why he didnt use that is very strange. Two things could happen. He could say because of the canvas of it he was just going to shoot at large number of people and his hit target was going to be very successful as it was or he could have wanted the side effect is that people know exactly sooner where the bullets are firing from. That may have helped Law Enforcement to trigger exactly where he was at. He may have wanted the benefit of having more time to continue his massacre. More anonymity, which weve seen certainly happen. Thanks so much to both of you. We cannot say enough about the brave men and women in uniform who responded to the Las Vegas Massacre preventing what could have been a even greater loss of life.

Even after 33 years in Law Enforcement never experienced an attack like this. I was right in this corner right here, which is the closest spot inside the venue too. Reporter when the gunfire erupted the chief dropped to the ground and bullet fragment sliced his finger. Thats probably what saved my life. When that hit, then i knew i was in the wrong spot. Youhe and a group of others raced and recorded this chilling video. Bullets were flying everywhere, it reminded me of old westerns where the outlaw tells somebody, okay dance and starts shooting the ground around them. You could watch the rounds popping anywhere. Reporter he knew the only way to survive was run as they tried to escape, the killer took aim at them again. I could hear it hitting the pavement behind us and you could feel some of the asphalt kicking up on the back of your legs. I hollered at my friend, hes almost on us then it stopped. Reporter the horror of the moment was just about to sink in. Where do you find the two people that you helped . They were right over here. They were right about in here. And this is where we drug them to, this corner over there. Reporter ure found a man with a severe leg wound in a pool of blood. He turned a belt into tourn quet to race to victims to the hospital. I told him, i cant let go of this until you get to the hospital, its you and me brother so and they were all crying and saying were going to die, were going to die. I said too many people have died tonight. You guys arent. You get emotional thinking about youre looking into that guys eyes and get emotional thinking about that. Yeah, i do.
