We have Live Team Coverage this morning. We have meteorologist janice dean. She is here inside the studio tracking the storms path. Ellison barber in. Jillian mele. And aishah is in charleston, South Carolina. We begin with Griff Jenkins who is live in Daytona Beach, florida. Hey, griff. Griff hey, ainsley, brian and steve, good morning. We are in the window where they are really worried about storm surge and flooding. We were out on the beach earlier and the waves are just pounding it. We are over on the intercoastal side. The Halifax River separating the beach from downtown daytodowntownDaytona Beach. 6 00 a. M. To 10 00 a. M. Is prime outer bands pounding us. Wind gusts upwards of 60 plus Miles Per Hour. The storm surge expected to be anywhere from 4 to 7 feet. This water you are looking at behind me right here, this is not normally water. This is a grassy park area and the water, you can see just the cop lights behind us thats beach road. That flooded three years ago during matthew. It flooded two years ago badly in irma. The sheriff having to make some deep water rescues about 6 to 10 blocks from here. I want to spin you around one more time. Its dark here and derek just turn my light for me. This pedestrian bridge pointing towards the Main International speedway bridge. You can see this little foot bridge here in the foreground, that is about to go underwater. So they are on high alert. They have high water vehicles here and we will just have to see how things go. We are in a lull right now but the bands have been coming fast and furious. We expect them for the next several hours, guys. Steve thats right. Griff right now you are to the eye of the storm is to the east of you. I was just looking at one of the west sites and it showed just east of the high the wave heights in the atlantic right now east of where you are in daytona the waves are 35 feet high. Griff its a tremendous problem. Remember, that when you are in the gulf of mexico, that is a shallow for miles out, 100 miles out of the gulf its shallow so the storm surge and flooding isnt a concern, but in the stlik its the wiping out the beaches. We saw it where we were down in st. Lucie county in areas the beach erosion. Its going to push into this area and its going to be a flood event if it keeps coming, guys. Steve its heading your way. Griff, thank you very much. Ainsley ellison barber is south of Griff Jenkins she is in port st. Lucie county. Whats happening there. We have been moving up the last couple of days, tailing the back end of the hurricane. The eye of the hurricane which, of course, is still at sea, it sort of passed the area where we are overnight so what we are seeing here are the effects of sort of the back end of the hurricane, those back outer bands. You can see that it is still raining. The water down here coming up towards the road. If you look a little further down, you can see the wind and how its moving some of the shrubbery but, of course, for a hurricane, this rain, this wind, its relatively mild, pretty light. We have seen it get lighter and lighter overnight into the morning hours. That, again, is because we are towards the back end of this hurricane. Yesterday the acting fema director acknowledged at this point they think florida will see minimal impact from Hurricane Dorian. But they are still trying to tell people not to let their guard down. Florida Governor Ron Desantis warned floridians that he had still likely will see storm surge, flooding and also erosions meaning that anyone with Evacuation Orders, despite many of them being lifted, particularly in areas near where we are, counties like Martin County and indian river county, he says even though some Evacuation Orders have been lifted, if you have one, you still need to heed it. Take a listen. This is gonna be riding floridas coast for the next day, day and a half. Some of these communities have experienced flooding with less than what we are facing now. You have different erosion issues that can make some of the structures unsafe with certain impacts. Some people that we have spoken to told me they initially evacuated they went to places like South Carolina and then told to evacuate there. So at this point they have come back to where they live. Some places with Evacuation Orders have decided just to ride it out here in florida. Ainsley, brian, steve . Steve all right, ellison, thank you very much. Jacksonville just to the north of where she is ate have suspended all Transportation Systems and services. Paratransit will only provide evacuation rides. So, in other words, cant get a ride anywhere unless you want to leave. Brian meanwhile janice dean has been tracking the storm and telling us the latest. Whats the latest update we have gotten . Janice 5 00 a. M. Starting to update hour by hour because we have Hurricane Hunter information and the storm is getting much closer to land so we are starting to get those updates every hour. The next track will come out at 8 00 a. M. We will certainly bring you the very latest in coordinates. Still a category 2 storm. The storm is saturdaying to get its act together again because its becoming close to land being influenced by land and i dont think we will see any additional strengthening but we are still going to be dealing with the 4 to 7foot storm surge for millions of people along the coast from florida up to the carolinas. Latest wind gusts you see this buoy right about 90 miles east of the florida coast line from Daytona Beach we have Hurricane Force wind gust there of 76 Miles Per Hour. And all along the coast Tropical Storm force winds. Tropical Storm Force Winds extending 175 miles from the center of the storm. Certainly you will feel the impacts of this. The indirect impacts. We think the potential for a landfall will come later on thursday into friday. Somewhere along the South CarolinaNorth Carolina coast line. Can you see the advisories hurricane warnings in effect for north florida up towards the South Carolina coast line all up and down the South Carolina coast line we have hurricane warnings in effect. And then watches up towards the outer banks. Here is the latest track, 105 mileperhour sustained winds. As i mentioned as we get into thursday and friday, the closest brush or landfall across portions of the carolinas and then this is still friday finally into the weekend it will be offshore. But the impacts will remain the same, the storm surge which could be potentially life threatening, rain amounts 6 to 12 inches of rainfall and then those battering winds, some cases Hurricane Force winds along the coast of South Carolina and North Carolina on thursday and friday. Steve the cyclone nic swirl of the storm is just pushing the water towards georgia and North Carolina. Ainsley you will see more of that on shore push from those counterclockwise winds. Brian thanks, janice. Every time we hear about a hurricane we hear about Climate Change because everybody has cars and planes thats whats causing this. Guess who weighed in okay, times up alexandria ocasiocortez. Steve thats right. Yesterday she retweeted you have seen some of the video of the devastation in the bahamas. She retweeted about a minutes worth of video and then attached this to it. Ainsley she said this is what Climate Change looks like. It hits vulnerable communities first. I can already hear climate deniers screeching. Its always been like this. Youre dim, et cetera. No, this is about science and leadership. We either decarbonize and cut emissions or we dont and let people die. Steve keep in mind, she is one of the people who has supported the green new deal. Brian really . Steve that was her idea. Who helped her with that on the senate side Bernie Sanders who yesterday tweeted out this regarding whats going on. The fossil fuel industry is now the equivalent of the tobacco industry. It creates death and destruction. Then spends billions denying its responsibility. Lets be clear. Hurricane dorian has everything to do with Climate Change, which is the existential crisis of our time. Ainsley hurricanes have been happening since the beginning of the atmosphere according to janice dean. She says this is caused by an area of low pressure. Brian by the way, so, Bernie Sanders, after making that statement got on his private jet and went to his next event. Roy spencer is the meteorologist. He was on with Martha Mccallum the other day. He said listen, as bad as this is, he says just keep this in perspective. Lets listen. We dont have you it. Let me read it to you. He says there are all kinds of stats out there. Lets look longterm. Its called climate. Since 1900 of all the hurricanes that have hit florida, there has been no longterm trend in either their intensity or in the number of major hurricanes that have hit florida. So, what Bernie Sanders and aoc is doing telling everybody who pump ising oil for a livings, who is transporting gas for a living, who is working in the natural gas or oil industry, you are the problem. You are the nicotine in todays society. Thanks. Its real nice. Knowing that its actually fueling, pun intended, our entire economy. Ainsley let us know what you think friends foxnews. Com. But to talk about the bahamas, the death toll there is now seven. The Prime Minister said we are asking for prayers. We are asking for compassion. The president did tweet say we are sending crews to help with the devastation down there in the bawmsz. We did send Disaster Response team. Plastic sheets, hygiene kits water buckets and chainsaw us. Steve do you know what theyre doing in south florida where the hurricane has already passed through. So many people went out and got extra supplies like bottled water and diapers and ice and things like that. Nonperishable food. And they got it and they dont need it because the hurricane has passed them by. So now all over south florida particularly in miami and dade county government locations where they are having people drop off all those things and then they will be flown to the bahamas as soon as the airport is open. I understand Tropic Ocean Airways have volunteered to fly supplies out to the bahamas today if the weather allow us. Ainsley if you have verizon some of the phone companies are weighing in on this. If you live in one these areas providing free calls text and data so can you reach your loved one during this crucial time. Brian continue to cover it throughout the three hour broadcast on the channel. The story has been the same story since the president started running for president building the wall at the border. Part of a comprehensive illegal immigration strategy. We know it has been a legitimate crisis for at least a year. Now we see the president of the United States has managed to repurpose 3. 6 billion in military financing to the wall. It is all part of our defense. And new secretary of defense mark esper made it official yesterday. Ainsley so were going to be spending 3. 6 billion as you can see right there on the screen military construction funds. 11 wall projects on the southern border. Thats what the money will be used for and 175 miles of the wall. What happened is there were 127 military Construction Projects and the Defense Department said hey, instead of funding that right now, were going to sideline that for a bit. Were going to use that money instead, were going to allow the president to use that money in Emergency Declaration funds to build the wall. Steve and the key is when the president formally declared it a natural emergency at our southern border because there is a statute in the books that allows the president to reprogram the money without the okay of congress. Ainsley because he got frustrated with congress. Steve they didnt do anything about it. The Supreme Court has weighed in on whether or not the money could be frozen. Things are proceeding. Look for a lawsuit. Chuck schumer, the top democrat in the u. S. Senate says what the president is doing and the secretary of defense is a slap in the face to the members of the armed forces who serve our country that President Trump is trying to is willing to cannibalize already allocated military funding to boost his own ego and for a wall he promised mexico would pay to build. Brian he is right. He did say mexico would build the wall and they have not yet. He said he is going to get it in the new usmca. Having said that its really hard to understand why democrats of today are different from yesterday considering both of them are still in office in their 70s and 80s because they originally got financing for this guy named president bill clintons wall and then george bush w. Bush got money to build his wall which was never completed but now is being replaced and now finished. Now the push back on the president seems to be pure politics. Republicans did not go to bat for the president s wall when they had control of the house. Now they just want to get a wall in areas. Its nothing against central and south america. Its to gain control for our Border Patrol in order for them to do their jobs more effectively. Steve in particular, its to protect the members of the military and the National Guard who were deployed in the last year or so. So thats why the secretary of defense says this is needed and now the democrats are not happy. What do you think about that . Email us at friends foxnews. Com on this very busy wednesday. Ainsley the president ran on that and this is why many people went to the polls to vote for him. He is not in there to please nancy pelosi or Chuck Schumer. Is he there to please the people who voted for him. Brian which is why democrats dont want to see him succeed in that major obstacle. One story Carley Shimkus does not have to read if you want to cross this out. We had the wall story. You have all the others. Carley update on story we have been following. 34 people presumed dead in a massive boat fire as the coast guard suspends search for survivors. The fire spread quickly blocking both exits in the small room where scuba divers were sleeping, making it impossible to escape. New video shows the boat burning and smoke pouring into the air off the coast of california. 20 bodies have been recovered, 14 are still missing. Its still unclear what caused the fire. Also breaking right now, the leader of hong kong withdraws a controversial bill that sparked months of protests in the city. The proposed law would have extradited criminals to main land, china. The bill had already been suspended but protesters demanded it be formally withdrawn. The activists are also calling for more democratic freedom. The arden veteran killed in the shooting rampage in odessa, texas will be laid to rest with full military honors next week. Camryn browns mother says she is heart broken. He has fought in the war and come back here to be killed. Senseless. So unfair. Brown joined the army in 2007 and served in afghanistan. He is one of seven victims killed in the shooting attack. And we now know the gunman bought his weapon through a private sale. He failed a gun background check in 2014 because he was deemed mentally unfit. The little boy thrown from a balcony at the mall of america is finally back home. 5yearold landon spent five months at minnesota hospital. Now, he will receive outpatient rehab for several injuries. Landon was tossed 40 feet to the ground by Emanuel Aranda in april. Aranda pleaded guilty to attempted murder, admitting he went to the mall looking for someone to kill. So its good news that he is back at home, guys. Steve after so much. All right. Carley, thank you very much. 16 minutes after the top of the hour on this wednesday. Hurricane hunters are flying above dorian right now as it churns off the coast of florida just west of rather east of daytona.
