Because this was out of the cone yesterday. We always say follow the cone. Remember the cone is wide. St. Croix wasnt even in it yesterday. What happens after that . What happens after that 70 mileperhour wind goes throug puerto rico . It will make a run at florida as a category 2 or higher hurricane. This is the storm right now getting a lot brighter in color overnight. That means the center is getting more intense. Still a 60 mileperhour storm. But you can see it on radar from puerto rico. Not quite there yet but it will be a center of circulation as it moves over that area 37 where does it go from there. There are models that take it up the east coast and now make landfall in north carolina. There are storms here. A lot of models here all the way down to almost west palm. So were going to have to watch where this goes and when it gets there. Right now its on its way to puerto rico. Okay, chad. We know you will get at least hourly updates and bring them to us. Puerto ricos government says preparations are 90 done. And the shelters are open. Cnns Polo Sandoval is live in pnce on the Southern Coast of the island. Whats the situation there . Reporter you know, alisyn, thats hundreds of shelters open across the island. We spoke about 24 hours ago. Of course people here were expecting a smaller impact particularly because those were showing this storm that would possibly just skirt the island. Now as you heard from chad with the more direct impact, there is a concern. Theres bad news from plenty of people still recovering from hurricane maria. So perhaps the power grid is what is the most vulnerable. Here in ponce, there were people in the dark for many months. The concern is even this Tropical Storm could negatively impact their lives here. And its not just the power grid, but also the potential for heavy rains, possibly mud slides around the island. Thats also concerning. Were told nonessential employees with the government have been told to stay home. Kids too. There will be no school today on the island. As for fema learning from the past, they staged a large amount of resources. Prestaged here on the island. Were told that officials certainly have learned from the past and are increasing the numbers compared to 2017. We note where youll standing will look very different in just a few hours. Polo sandoval in puerto rico which is now bracing for this direct hit. Joining us but phone is the flight director for the noaa hurricane hunters. Thank you for being with us. Youve been in and out of dorian seven times including 11 00 last night. What are you seeing from this storm . Yes, sir. We started out on monday from lakeland, ended up in st. Croix. Yesterday we flew st. Croix and ended up in barbados. Saw a very disorganized center, a very compact storm. It did not even have the kind of banding structure you can see from the puerto rico radar right now. Very disorganized even from our altitude at 10,000 feet. The Organization Began to become apparent during the flight last night. And i suspect when we go through it this afternoon, well see even more of that organization. So dorian is basically getting itself together at this point. And i understand youre seeing the first signs of a consistent eye wall, yes . Yes. Thats what we did not see at all on our Radar Systems on monday. We began to see it during the second half of our flight last night. We are making multiple passes and using our tail doppler radar. Noaa has ten doppler radars on the aircraft. Its a unique instrument to give you the wind field in all quadrants. And we began to see that overall banding on the east, north wrapping around to west side. Thats become more apparent on puerto rico radar this morning. And thus getting stronger before your eyes. When you head out today it might be stronger still. And after puerto rico, the forecast puts it out over the warm water before hitting florida. What will you look for in the coming days . Oh, yes, sir. Its very important among other things were going to go through the center of the storm four times today going from barbados back to our home base in lakeland, noaas Aircraft Center there. The biggest reason were going back to lakeland is we can bring in our other crews on standby there. Weve been doing one a day flights out here in the islands giving great coverage to the islands. But now were going to put aircraft in twice per day. Both on p3 aircraft and the g4 aircraft that does the environmental flow around the storm. You can definitely say were putting all of our teams in this. One of the things thats interesting about this storm is its not big in terms of its square mileage. Its a smaller storm, but that can make it harder, i understand, sometimes to understand whats going on with it. Why is that . One of the big confusions here has been positive and negative effects in terms of dorians growth. A bigger storm with all that dry air surrounding it would have had greater impacts with the dry air. This one has managed to keep itself kind of a tight, compact area of positive growth. So it has kept itself together. And it leaves from a meteorologist viewpoint the less the core of the storm impractic interacts with puerto rico, the greater chance it has of keeping together. What has it been like to be in this storm . What has made this unique from other storms youve been inside . Its been kind of a tale of two storms. We were flying around 10,000 feet which is certainly in the heart of the storm. All of our flying on the south and west side has been benign. We havent seen that much on the radar. All the flies on the north side and the east side, weve been through numerous thunderstorms. We saw a lot of lightning last night. Pretty decent turbulence. Nothing out of the order for what we do. But we were definitely seeing certain areas we spend a lot of time belted in nice and tight and areas that were just different. Thats an asymmetric system. This one is becoming more symmetrical. All right. Thank you so much for joining us this morning. This is a reminder of why the work you do is so important because this has been a tough storm to track and its only by going inside the way you have repeatedly over the last several days that were getting any line on where this is headed and its getting increasingly dangerous.

Boris johnson is asking the queen to suspend parliament before the october 31st brexit deadline. Why . Nic robertson is live with what all of this means. Reporter this is completely without recent historic precedence that the queen should have her vacation interrupted by a Prime Minister asking her to suspend parliament. The reason that it is broadly being viewed that Boris Johnson is doing this, because he wants to head off opposition in parliament from his own party and from opposition parties who want to block him having a no deal brexit. Leaving the European Union without having a deal agreed. What took place yesterday in london was a meeting of all the opposition parties. And they decided that they would not have a vote of no confidence in Boris Johnsons government and try to bring down his government. Instead they would find a Legal Mechanism in parliament to block the no deal brexit. What Boris Johnson has woken up and done today is head that off by suspending parliament and essentially not giving parliament enough time to debate and come up with a legal formula ad framework to stop a nodeal brexit. Weve heard from the speaker of the houses of parliament. Weve heard from the last chancellor both saying this is outrageous what johnson is doing. Theyre calling it outrageous, dangerous. Boris johnson is sticking to his guns saying that Parliament Still will have enough time to debate brexit. There will be ample time on both sides of that crucial october the 17th summit. Ample time in parliament for mps to debate. The eu, brexit, and all the other issues. Ample time. Reporter this is without recent historic precedence. This is deepening the battle lines over brexit. We are in unchartered territory here. This is going to cause and create huge anger and huge animosity. Parliament will stick down again next week, be suspended a week after. If democratcy is not working for you, wait awhile. This is whats happening. This is causing huge outrage over the next few hours. The other breaking story this morning, puerto rico bracing for a direct hit from what will be hurricane dorian. And puerto rico is still recovering from maria nearly two years ago. Now, overnight, President Trump did approve an emergency declaration. But before that, this is what he wrote. For some Reason Congress approved 92 billion for puerto rico last year. An alltime record of its kind anywhere. Its not a record and its not true. It was a lie. It was not 92 million. It was 42 million. Hes off by more than a factor of two. And only about 12 million has been spent and he knows that. Now, in response to that tweet, which again we dont know why the president sent it, this is what the san juan mayor you want to go . I know where hes getting that number. Its an internal omb report that says over the lifetime of the storm, of maria. In other words, 10 years out, 20 years out it could on the outside get to 92 million. That is not what congress has sent. Its not even what congress has appropriated. I understand. But sometimes people think out of thin air. He knows. Thats the origin of that. He knows this isnt true. Its been out for a long time. He has to know at this point. If he doesnt, someone needs to tell him. The mayor of san juan in puerto rico said this overnight. His behavior, his lack of understanding, and it is ludicrous. 3,000 Puerto Ricans did not open their eyes this morning because this racist man did not have it within him to cohdo his job. So get out of the way, President Trump, and let me people that can do the job get the job done. Want to bring in joe lockhart, elena plot, and john avalon. Let me read the tweet from the president again. He lied about the amount 92 billion. He said its an alltime record high for anywhere. And the point is, john, what message is he trying to send . How does this help the people of puerto rico . A, by lying, and b, by sort of suggesting well its puerto ricos fault for being in the way of the hurricane . Yeah. Hes not trying to help. Lets just be very clear about this. Hes not trying to help. Hes insulting the victims of a past hurricane thats cost more lives than 9 11. For which theres not been nearly enough government reflection. And in the face of an oncoming hurricane, hes basically hes blaming them preemptively. And it is an utter abandonment about that basic role of the president to be km. Hes causing harm by blaming victims ahead of another hurricane. He said wow, quote, yet another big storm. Will it ever end . If hes tired of them, imagine how the people in puerto rico feel. I agree with john. I was really struck by the beginning of that. As in, wow, im powerless here. Ive got nothing to do with this. I remember from my time in the white house, what wed be doing is we wouldnt be saying wow. Wed be talking about all of the material we prepositioned, all of the things femas doing, all of the efforts to help people. Instead you read the president is diverting money from fema, from disaster relief, to build the wall thats not going to get built that the mexicans with for supposed to pay for. Thats a wow to me. I have to say, theres new reporting overnight in the Washington Post stunning on the issue of the wall and shows just how important a priority it is for the president. How important . According to the Washington Post, hes telling his staff to break the law if thats what it takes to get parts of the wall built. Others report this, when aides suggested some of the orders are illegal or unworkable, trump suggested he would wpardon the officials if they would just go ahead. Hes waved off the use of imminent domain. Saying just build the wall. What had happened if another president just said take the land, imminent domain . Thank god Fox News Channel is not still around to hear this. They would have freaked out any time president obama used imminent domain for anything. Roger ailes and therefore fox news blew a gask et about the idea of seizing private land. This is a democracy. How dare he be an emperor. I dont remember there ever being a story of the president saying even if it is illegal, i would pardon you. I cant wait to hear what fox says about this this morning. And i think more than anything this just goes to show how important the wall is as an issue for the president heading into the election. Well, there are a few things going on here. The first is that, you know, the other day i was speaking to a white house official actually well before this report came out about why it is that this president seems so willing to instruct aides, because he has done it before on other projects to do what needs to be done regardless of whether its legal. And this person told me, you know, donald trump is a businessman. He ran his companies by just knowing you get sued over things. And its another example take Jared Kushners office of americanization or whatever theyre calling it these days, that being a businessman, an outsider doesnt translate perfectly to the role of a bureaucrat. And especially when youre dealing with the army corps of engineers, this is an apt point. The other thing is hes also hearing from his campaign manager, hes hearing from br others on his Reelection Campaign that says we cant tout as much about a wall. This is your most concrete promise heading into the 2016 election and we felt less than 60 miles of replacement wall. Most of which was appropriated under the obama administration. So yes, its important to tout. But he has surrogates on the trail that says we dont know what to tell supporters about why this structure doesnt exist yet. Right. But lets be careful not to normalize this either, because the political pressures the president might be facing or this idea a businessman doesnt fully appreciate the niceties of law and is just a guy rolling up his sleeves doing whatever it takes to get it done. The reality is this. The president of the United States is instructing aides to break the law to achieve his goals and floating a pardon, a president ial pardon for them if they do so when they express concerns about the legality of his orders. Thats insane, folks. And by the way, to elenas point, how
