States officials are warning vets while irma may be gone, there is still a huge threat for the state of florida. Listen to this. The biggest threats for this week as irma leaves florida will be river flooding, and most of that will be in the northern part of the state. With respect, it does not mean that it is not a dangerous storm, as he will see from our reports, jacksonville is suffering from some of the worst flooding that it has seen in 100 years. Martha we have reporters spread out all over the hardest hit areas. We have peter. High, peter. High, marco, martha, the water is starting to receive, a lot of restaurants and a lot of bars, the problem is that even though the water is going down, there is really no way to get here unless you have a high water vehicle or a boat. You can see that the water is now shallow enough to walk through. It was in this way earlier. But as we come across the street, you can see on these steps how high the water was just a few hours ago. There are three sets of stairs here, and you can see that the entire first as such would have been completely submerged because they are still drying out just a few hours ago. And now things were so dire here in jacksonville that even as irma was on its way out and it wasnt really raining, officials were begging people who lived along the st. Johns river, which is right over here, to evacuate. Especially if they lived in these two zones. They said if you are not able to evacuate, once the water starts rising, dont go out, go up. Go to the second floor, go to the roof, and leave a white sheet on the doors so thats a helicopter or rescue boat and knows exactly where to find you and knows that you need help. We understand that so far at least 100 people have required help, the mayor here says that even though irma came as a category to wind wise, it was a category three storm surge, and he said that the water is not going to reseed for about a week in some places. So even though again, conditions have improved here, in this very popular spot in jacksonville over the last few hours, it is going to be several more days until things get back to normal, and driving around for the last few hours, i can tell you that almost nothing is open. No one is driving around. The only people that you ever see our police blocking roads or people out trying to take a picture on their cell phone before they had back in. So the st. Johns river caused a lot of big problems here in jacksonville, it was mostly a water event, not a wind event, and they have a long way until things are back to normal here. Martha the direction of the river and the push of the water, there were whitecaps, eight where peter is standing right now, they said thank goodness, we all know that once it goes out, a lot of the damage is done. So peter, thank you very much. So now with more tonight, mario diaz represents the constituents of the miami area, welcome. Let me starts with ben that, we talked to you before this whole thing got underway, and it was dire. And i guess a lot of people feel like it wasnt as bad as it could have been, which is very good news for a lot of people, we all saw what happened with harvey, and there is a lot still to tell about this story in the keys, which remains to be seen. What is your take on the whole thing . Yeah, you are exactly right, miami is underwater, jacksonville is underwater, but it could have been much, much worse. This is storm set historic records, 185mileperhour winds, well above that, it is a tremendous amount of energy, we are very fortunate that the storm was able to weaken a little bit, because even though we have seen a lot of dire impacts, we are very fortunate that the winds were not above 150 miles per hour. Martha how did you fare . Because you were saying that even as a storm chaser, you were kind of nervous going into this thing and had some problems with gas two. Yeah, there were gas shortages across the stage, we are trying to rush some in, but still, millions of people without gas, vehicle stranded across the interstate, across florida still, waiting for those tankers to respond, and we were fortunate enough to just make it into the tampa area, it is going to take if you ask for everything to get back to normal and for the infrastructure to be rebuilt. Martha we are still waiting to see the extent of it in the keys, we saw aerial shots, but what is your take on what the damage will be like there . Welcome again, we are very fortunate that the storm made landfall on marco island at 115 miles per hour, which is only a category three, we are talking about that extreme category five that we were expecting, still a very strong storm, it will be a long recovery process, and it is going to take some time for those folks, so lets keep them in our thoughts and hope that they can do that quickly and safely. Martha when you look at this thing, it sort of spun across the entire state, pushing water up in jacksonville, it had so much magnitude, how would you characterize you know what changed its . What sort of helped it . Was it going over all of those islands i kind of chopped it up a little bit and helped her to kind of slow down and really, the islands we are going to talk about in a moment, they were absolutely devastated. Well, martha, lets think about a hurricane is a giant machine, and when they have fuel, they get stronger and stronger and maintain themselve themselves, and so the storm hits cuba or the United States, we are very fortunate that its made contact with those landmasses down there and eventually a southwest florida. Martha ben, we are glad that you are doing okay. A lot of work ahead to be sure. Thank you for being with us once again tonight. I want to bring in representative mario, whose district goes towards naples and the areas that were very hard hit. Thank you for being here, whats is your assessment of your district right now . Speak out some areas were hit very, very hard. And in the areas that i represent, those are areas that are not wealthy by any stretch of the imagination. They are rural parts of my district. Obviously, gas was still an issue, but power, he just reported about that, many, many homes are out of power, and fortunately, water is available, one of the cities that i represent had an issue with that, they did an incredible job of fixing their sewer system to make sure that people could have water to drink and to bathe with because that would have made it even worse, but it was a bad storm, even though the eastern part of the district that i represent could have been worse, the western part, well, it is really bad. Martha we are looking at images right now of marco island, and really, it always takes until a day after to start to get some of these pictures, and the sun comes out, and you start to see you in terms of insurance and coverage and what people need in terms of supplies, tell me about your outlook for that. Did we lose them . Yeah, he is gone. Well, thats it tells us something about the connection and the systems, and i mean look at this. This is a naples, florida. Rooms were completely ripped off, you can see that the insulation all is that is left on the top of that roof. You know, when you get there on the ground, one block was fine, and you turn the corner, and it is underwater. You see all these mobile homes which have just been devastated, and watching this morning, the coverage in the keys, will take you there in a moment, all of these houseboats and boats were people just hunkered down, we really still dont know the total story there with possible fatalities in the keys, so we have to keep those people in our thoughts and prayers tonight as we continue to watch what unfolds there in the florida keys. So coming up next, our irma coverage continues, well take you there to the florida keys. There is a picture of key west, all of these beautiful skinny islands along thats 120mile stretch, bridge to bridge, gets you one place to another, when will they be able to return home . A live report on the horrific damage and the very long road to recovery and thats part of our country. Also, in wake of President Trumps surprising deal with democrats, many are asking what is going on with the Republican Party . We are going to talk to Newt Gingrich about that when he joins us coming up. In moments ago, the tribute in light is about to light up in lower manhattan, and we will take you there. The 16th anniversary of september 11th. Ahead, we discuss how it marks the beginning of a war that is still raging in this world against radical islamic extremism. At ground zero on a beautiful night, september 11th, we will be right back. Today, as we stand on this hallowed ground, we are reminded of the timeless no force on earth can break us apart, no force.

I would expect that the keys are not fit for reentry for regular citizenry four weeks. It is going to be a long way, there is a lot of damage. That wasnt Florida Governor rick scott, describing the damage in the florida keys, and right now, the island chain is completely shut down. As emergency crews make the agonizing trip into the islands, it is just incredible. Rescuers are going door to door now from what we understand, and in some of these cases, there were a lot of people who hunkered down. They estimate that 25 of key west residents where they are throughout this, despite those evacuation orders, so now they have to go door to door. They have been there since before the storm hit, and via hard quay of key largo, adam, good evening. How is it looking there . Well, martha, i looked to my right, we were coming in from commercial, talking about those beautiful sunset, and right below is complete devastation. I mean, four days ago, you would be sitting here, have a glass of white wine or whatever you happen to partake in and a nice sunset here in the keys, a frozen drink of some sort or whatever, and he would be looking out at his beautiful view with the palm trees to the left, and then the ocean side, and to look at whats the difference a storm can make. These homes are all destroyed. These were homes that people lived on in some cases, they would rinse them out, sailboats flipped over, busted, a couple of the homes arent even here anymore. We dont know where they went. They are in the water someplace. One that literally disintegrated. A kid that i met here, 22 or 23 years old, had been given one of the small houseboats, finishing it up, and all that he could find was a rail. So it is under there somewhere. So that is the destruction that we are finding. You head down, you get to about a mile marker 50 or so, and i will show you something in a second, a little further than thats is that when you go down there, on the right side is the bayside, you see some sign damage and some awnings ripped off, but you also will see the same kind of damage, but when you go to the coast, you may see a marine or house that are in Great Condition like nothing touched it, and sonny see this. There is no power, hardly any cell service down here, obviously, all of the gas stations are closed. It is beyond camping at this point, to my left ear is the mobile command vehicle. I want to show you this. The Border Protection folks were headed down to marathon key, which is one of the concerns, and summerland quay, which is down towards key west, they had to give us a bag of ice because we are low on water, which they were nice enough to do that, they gave us an update on what they saw. That is the kind of unit that we are starting to see, that is what is Getting Communications out. When i went to go to where we are staying, i saw the first caravan come in, trucks from california is, some is coming in with supplies, headed south. Generators, also those those portable lights that extend maybe a couple of stories being driven in, so you are starting to see the relief efforts come, but you are not seeing the locals, and lets you stay here. And the reason why, they have to clear at all. Even the main highways still have a lot of debris. The cedar street still have a lot of trees down and lives on, i will tell you what is interesting, you see a lot of resilience. Every time we see these disasters in the u. S. , we have much people just going through and it taking things out, trying to clear things up. We are hoping that the door to door search results and no casualties. At this point, we havent heard, and we are hoping that the states. See when i heard that tensions are rising because people are trying to get back in, and in some cases they have family members who decided to stay, and they have no service, so that is a moment of panic it, so we hope that they can restore some of that peace of mind. Adam, thank you so much. A fascinating and awful. Thank you very much. So as millions are stuck without power in florida, the fear of eluding a gross. Police in Fort Lauderdale look at these pictures. You talk about the goodness that comes out of people, and then there is this. This idea that this is a time to break windows and steal things from hardworking Business Owners who have spent their lives, so they arrested nine people after a local tv station caught them breaking into stores, so that is good. And police have made a 28 arrest, so be mindful of that if you think that this is a good idea. You are likely to get caught. And the hollywood, florida, mayor, he issued a 10 00 p. M. Curfew for tonight, and he joins us now. Good to have you here tonight. Tell us a little bit about the situation now that you have had today to investigate. So, the city of hollywood is confronting the aftermath of the storm on multiple levels. First, you alluded to the looting that took place in a neighboring city, Fort Lauderdale, they are very strict at making the point that although Fort Lauderdale police did make the arrest, the county sheriff made the point is that any eluding would not be tolerated anywhere in the county, and for persons electing to make a bad decisions to face prosecution. Martha in terms of the beauty of your city, you have all of these businesses that rely on tourist, what is your outlook . So look at, this has been devastating for the city of hollywood. We have a large tourism based economy, we have 76,000 utility customers after the storm, 73,000 of those 76,000 were out of power. Right now, as of 8 00 a. M. This morning, they have been able to restore power to 11,000 of those, leaving us with 61,000 power customers in the city of hollywood without power. That means that businesses cant open and operate, that means that residents cant have electricity in their homes, but also that Traffic Signals and or roadways are really unsafe with no street lights and note light signal as a nation. Martha so what are you telling people in . So, regarding the curfew, it is mainly at therefore the operation of our roadways, to discourage motorists from traveling on the roads when there is absolutely no Street Lighting or Traffic Signals. We still have large trees and debris scattered throughout the streets of the city, and it is very hard to see that debris at night when there is no Street Lighting. So it is really unsafe. We want people to be safe, stay home, and wait for cleaning crews to continue the recovery of tomorrow. Martha yeah, a lot of patience required in all of these situations. We thank you very much. We will be thinking about you. So with so much focus on florida, many are forgetting the small islands in the caribbean, including puerto rico and the u. S. Virgin islands where there is just so much devastation. You have got homes, bars, hotels, all of thats obliterated as Hurricane Irma rips there, and that is the livelihood in these communities. Look at this before and after. Green on the top in the u. S. Virgin islands, okay, look at the bottom picture. It is all brown. The green has been ripped off of these islands. Joining me now on the phone is emmanuel, his wife, and their 2yearold son have been stranded in st. Thomas since Hurricane Irma hit nearly a week ago. Emmanuel, thank you for getting on the phone with us. Tell us what happens. Why did you not leave . Well, we arrived here, and we were expected to leave on the second. We got here on the second, we told spirit islands that we had a package, they canceled the flight, we were scheduled for an altar night flight, and they shut down the hotel. And we were just forced to stay. They had to close the shutters and whatnot, and they said to stay inside and that we would be okay. We come to find out that our windows blew out 150 miles an hour wind, very, very unpleasant, scary for the children, and challenging. But nevertheless, we come to find out thats the ritz, where we were supposed to stay, and the marriott were evacuated, they took them off of the islan island. Martha wow it, unbelievable. You were told and not to leave, everything is going to be fine, this is a building that can withstand this, and your
