Waves have been reported up to 30 feet. The wind, the waves, thats what were concerned about. Each mile makes a huge difference. I have to tell you that were less than 15 miles from dangerous or even deadly winds and as that approaches areas like Daytona Beach and eventually jacksonville is what so many folks on those high wind or hurricane warnings up around the coast, and check this out. Still a Tropical Storm watch in effect for tampa. Look at the coast to savannah, charleston, thats all in the warning at this hour. Let me also take you through the timing. Jacksonville gets it tonight at 5 00 p. M. I wanted to leave with this, guys, just a moment ago the winds are only 60 some Miles Per Hour currently, a light just blew off the top of the hotel, debris can still fly at you and be dangerous. Please dont go outdoors. Stay in a safe be back with a whole lot more information. You stay safe too, ginger. As we have said, more than 3 Million People have been told to evacuate the storm. This will be the most devastating storm to hit jacksonville in 118 years. David muir has more. Good morning, david. Reporter amy, good morning to you. As you heard ginger say, just as were on the air with Good Morning America this morning the western edge of this eyewall canaveral, and of course, the concern there was the Kennedy Space center. As we move northward, this is the area in jacksonville where they say the biggest threat is the storm surge. Theyre concerned about it up and down the coast and through the carolinas but right here where im standing theyre expecting up to 11 feet. Well show you the dangers on the map of that in a moment. First here this morning the pictures coming in of this hurricane already. Hurricane matthew slamming into Central Floridas coastline. Unfortunately, this is going to kill people. Reporter with wind gusts up to 115 Miles Per Hour. Kind of almost a whiteout condition. Reporter the hurricane eye just a few miles now off Cape Canaveral. At least ten inches of rain expected. You can see the water out here. Its blanketed by this rain now. Reporter as over 300,000 are without power at this hour. These transformers exploding in vero beach. Supplies dwindling. Hotels overbooked. The National Guard now standing by. One in jupiter. Im concerned about whats going to happen when the house falls and were where were going to go. Reporter matthews path changing planning, even forcing disney world to close its gates for only the fourth time ever in the parks 45year history. Cruise ships docked and thousands traveled with airports empty and more than 3800 flights already canceled here in the u. S. More than 3 million americans now fleeing their homes from florida up to North Carolina. Fema officials preparing to provide relief with states of emergency now declared in florida, georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. The hurricane already devastating the caribbean. Running its path through the bahamas. Its force ripping the roof right from this home and in haiti, a nation in crisis. At least 122 dead. The coast guard now providing a clearer picture of home after home leveled. Jacksonville, florida, this morning, this is where meteorologists say be very concerned about the storm surge. You can see the ferocity of the waves whipping up behind me already. Take a look at the map this morning and you can see actually see the storm surge threat is up and down the coast but right here in the jacksonville area, 7 to 11 feet and keep in mind thats simply the water above land. That is the surge of water up to 11 feet. That does not account for the waves that are expected to come crashing in as the winds go of matthew. As you saw 3 million americans evacuated in this storm. 2. 5 million schoolchildren home with their families this morning and i want to check in about a half a mile south of where i am right here with abcs eva pilgrim in st. Augustine, this morning. Eva, what are the conditions . Reporter david right now, we are really seeing the wind and rain pick up. When the gust, big gusts come, they are incredible. Ive already lost a hat. You can see the water behind me. Let me move so you can see it. Angry this morning, the water. The waves crashing in. Theres actually a tenfoot drop right behind me here where the beach erosion has already happened. Thats how much beach is already gone. You mentioned the storm surge worried about it here in st. Augustine because high tide is in the middle of the afternoon and thats when theyre expecting the hurricane to be not too far offshore. They are water to be well over my head in the st. Augustine area on the barrier islands. Law enforcement went door to door urging people to please get off the island to move further inland. They tell us a lot of people are planning to ride out this storm. Those first responders, they have all moved out. They say they are not coming back in until after the hurricane is passed and they feel strongly that it was time for us to move as well to get across that bridge before its not possible for us to get so we are shortly, very shortly going to pack up and move to higher ground, david. Reporter all right, eva pilgrim, about a half hour from where were standing south of here, closer to hurt kricane matthew this morning. And you heard eva talk about the beach erosion theyre seeing already and that is the real concern here this morning. The winds theyre 115 to 120mileperhour wind gusts, its more the storm surge, these waves behind me up to 11 feet as i mentioned then the waves crashing in over it. Its a threat that well continue to watch. George, amy, michael . Back to you. Thanks very much. We also have our jim dolan from our new york station wabc in Daytona Beach. Jim, we can see the wind and rain right there and hear daytona is a ghost town. Reporter george, the wind is just starting to kick up. I cant hear you all that well. We mentioned the wind is kicking up. I dont know what this is, but this steel thing just blew up and almost whacked me in the way, but theres a lot of that kind of debris just getting blown around us. And the winds pick up in Daytona Beach. You can take a look. Joe showed me the palm trees which are blowing hard in this wind. We stepped away a little bit from the hotel to give you an idea how hard the rain is falling. Again, the muscle of this storm still pretty far south from where we are. But it is coming this way and youre beginning to see some gusts of wind here that are extremely high at Cape Canaveral seeing gusts up to 100 miles an hour, higher than that there. Cape canaveral, obviously important because thats where nasa launches spacecraft from their rockets, and so lots of heavy wind there, and the rain really picking up now. Were starting to see flooding here and mostly it has been raining much of the night but mostly we are seeing an increase in wind speed. The trees really blowing here in Daytona Beach. Reporting live from Daytona Beach where it is really coming down now, im jim dolan for abc. George . Tobacco back to you. Earlier i spoke to Florida Governor rick scott. Governor scott, thanks for joining us. What can you tell us about the impact of matthew right now . Well, george, its about halfway up our coast off the coast of Cape Canaveral. About 40 miles. We have seen hurricaneforce winds up to 107 Miles Per Hour. Its still, you know, its not daylight so we d we have been blessed that woe we dont have we havent had a direct hit. Just hurricaneforce winds, well see a lot of storm surge. If youre in jacksonville, you still have an hour or two to evacuate. Our concern is were going to have up to 12 feet of storm surge and waves on top of that. It will impact rivers, not just the coast so weve got to be very careful about all the flooding well see and often as with the storm surge itll come in fast and leave fast so thats why i saw with the hurricane we recently had in the panhandle the water comes in fast and goes out very fast and it can till you. Ill youkill you. Ill youkill you. That storm surge still is dangerous. Is it fair to say your state has been spared the worst . I have never seen anything like this. We have people in our shelters. No shortages but we have probably less than a quarter of a thousand people without power. Theyre starting to restore it in miami and in the ft. Lauderdale area, and still assessing the damage, though, george. And as you say Going Forward youre concerned about more flooding in the coast and inland. What things you brace for right now . Well, the biggest thing right now especially going north were going to see a lot more storm surge than weve seen in the southern or middle part of the state. Thats my biggest concern right been, did everyone take this seriously and evacuate . If you are in the jacksonville area, you still have an hour or so to evacuate. So do it if you have a chance to evacuate. I dont want anybody to be around the storm surge. I watched in the peninsula get ten feet of storm surge. Planning ahead has made a difference. We had evacuation orders for 1. 5 Million People to move west of the state and we have plenty of people called up 3,500 members of the National Guard, and high water vehicles, food, water. So were ready to deal with this and well work in the aftermath. We already have 400,000 people without power. One final question, the state of South Carolina has extended Voter Registration because so many lives have been disrupted. Why wont you do that . George, look, we have the we have had plenty of time to on getting this done. Im focused on saving everybodys life. The Biggest Issue for me i want everybody to survive this. Governor scott, thanks for joining us this morning. All right. See you, george. And those high winds are also causing a lot of problems already in West Palm Beach florida where gio benitez is. Good morning, gio. Reporter hey, michael. Good morning. We are on the back end of that storm so were still getting a little be the of wind, but i just want to show you that overnight power of the storm, as we pull out here just so you can compare the size of this to me. Were talking about a tree thats at least three stories tall. It was just uprooted right out of the ground. The good news, nobody was here. People were indoors. They were protected. They were safe. Nobody was hurt here. But i got to tell you the power outage is a big issue. We learned weve seen more than 350,000 Power Outages in the continues up the coast, were going to probably see even more of these Power Outages. But right now theres this collective sigh of relief here in palm beach, one lieutenant telling us we prepared, we prayed and we were spared. Michael. Thank goodness for that thank you, gio. Up to North Carolina now. The white house is tracking the storm with president obama warning in a tweet Hurricane Matthew is as serious as it gets. Listen to local officials, prepare, take care of each other. Rob marciano in the low country of charleston, south carin serious floods. Good morning, rob. Reporter good morning, george. Take a look at this. This boardwalk, this park typically filled with people walking their dog, taking a jog nearly empty. The governor calling for more evacuations, opening more evacuation routes, for those left today, it might be go time. This morning, time is running coastline. We need to be safe and get out of there. Reporter with Hurricane Matthews powerful eyewall on track to slam at shores Southern State license plates are heading into North Carolina. We are concerned. We took in everything before we left. Reporter many fleeing inland only to find hotels are booked up. The reverse highway lanes will last as long as necessary providing an escape from coastal towns leading to safe havens like this American Red Cross shelter. We are preparing for as many as 4,000, we can house if had this facility. Reporter at least 300 school buses sheltering them and 1900 National Guard troops are at the ready but officials are concerned too many have decided to stay put and ride out the storm. By thursday morning, only 175,000 people had evacuated. There is no excuse to risk your life. Reporter a risk some we have decided to stay, because our home and businesses are here. Reporter the catalan knows are waiting and watching. We need more information. Were not ready yet. Reporter well, they may be leaving today because the more information is that that track is likely to come closer to the official forecast now bringing that storm closer to georgia and the carolina coastline and by this time tomorrow, we could be experiencing a direct hit here. Michael. All right, thank you, rob. And matthew is also causing a lot of problems at airports this mornin has more on that. Good morning to you, david. Reporter good morning, michael. Moving to safety and the number of cancellation growing, even here in washington, d. C. Seeing some flights canceled. Already for tomorrow, flights are being canceled. If you take just today and tomorrow, more than 2,200 flights canceled. In the past few days, Hurricane Matthew has led to the cancellation of nearly 4,000 flights and take a look at this. Just empty as all the aircraft are flown away from the hurricane and picture from miami airport shows terminals empty. Not an aircraft on the ground. But heres what American Airlines wants to do as the storm passes miami. They hope to start getting flights in there later this morning and maybe some departures this afternoon. It depends on how much damage has been done at the airport and whether it remains, so its going to take really the weekend to get the system back on schedule. All right, david, thank you. Matthew, affecting so many people but right now impacting florida the most so lets go back to ginger in melbourne, florida, with the latest, ginger. Reporter it is really actually very scary in moments here because our hotel was with power all night, just lost power. A light perilously hanging, exploded, and fell off and blew off. A lot going on. Trees coming down. Not even when the storm passes but i want to take you through along the coast it goes and just like rob said, just moments ago hugging a little closer to places like savannah and charleston. Jacksonville gets it later this afternoon and evening and then by wilmington going off the coast there, later sunday. Out by monday, and out of the Tropical Storm in parts of these, 74 plusmileperhour winds and look at the timing. Friday 9 00 pak closing in on charleston and savannah in there and stays Tropical Storm force or severe close to wilmington. All right. Big waves well talk about in just a moment, but for now, we have to talk about your weekend be in the upper 50s to lower 60s. The weekend continues to look great with highs well into the 60s both days. No frost is expected this weekend, though down to the lower 40s. Next week, the main theme is for warmer than normal conditions to continue. Moisture is very limited with the next front that arrives on monday night. I know everybody is always concerned about our safety. Reporter we are definitely safe, protected by a very sturdy building, so we will not put ourselves in any danger, but we will be here covering throughout the show. Back to you guys. Hurricane matthew. All across the storm zone david muir, ginger zee, our whole team on the ground. Take a look at this footage. Storm chasers flying right into the eye of the hurricane.

Welcome back to gma. All eyes on florida this morning, that is port canaveral, lots of damage there from the wind, just two miles from Cape Canaveral. And authorities concerned about the high winds there as well. So many structures there that could be damaged by those winds. Daytona beach, a ghost town as the storm is hitting this morning. Rain all across the state. Yeah, now st. Augustine, major fears there as it moves up the coast. A real concern about storm surge. More than 3 Million People have been told to evacuate from florida through the carolinas as the eyewall slams the east coast. And ginger is in melbourne, florida. We have been with her all morning wrong, and that is right in Hurricane Matthews path. Reporter yeah. Hurricane matthew is obviously very close to us here. Were seeing gusts up to around 60 Miles Per Hour in melbourne. But the eye of that storm is dangerously close to the coast. Heres what i want to show you on the radar. From coast to coast, it is moving west at 14 Miles Per Hour. We should get an update from the National Hurricane center is within the half hour to tell us whether it drops to a category 2 or not. Even if it does, it doesnt matter. It will still do considerable damage rite at the coast. Anywhere that comes with that dark color on the radar there. Here, i wanted to show you the path and rpm, the futurecast. The stuff at jacksonville, a crucial time where the heaviest rains are starting to fall and brunswick and charleston and more of that friday night early saturday, saturday day through sunday moving across the state line from South Carolina into North Carolina. And a quick look at the path. I want to emphasize, it is within that cone that you can as we are right here. Ill be updating you throughout the morning. Starting at 8 00 a. M. Ginger, you are getting blown around. What can you tell us about the path further out . There has been concern that the storm might double back on florida next week . Reporter yeah. Yeah. The computer models kept trying to turn it back around. Everyone was saying, oh, my gosh and has happened in history, its not unprecedented but as of this morning it looks like it will just sit out in the ocean and then hopefully dissipate so its looking much weaker, and does not look like it would target again. If it does come back, we will be here telling you about it. Thank you, ginger. You can see the winds have picked up since the last time we talked to her. Back to david muir in jacksonville, florida, where the hurricanes winds could be catastrophic. David, what are you seeing right now . Reporter hey, mikeple michael. A rapid intensification just within the last 30 minutes right waves picking up behind me. Theres between a 7 and 11feet storm surge. Thats on the land and that doesnt take into account that could happen at high tide, and the wind is going counterc counterclockwise. You will have the waves crashing onto land behind it and to put this into perspective. With superstorm sandy, we were dealing with 9 feet. They are expecting 11 feet here in jacksonville and thats why there are watches. Thats why evacuations are so important and theres time for so many to get out. Look at this footage. Storm chasers flying into the eye of Hurricane Matthew, and i spoke with rick knabb for more on this storm. Good morning, rick, with what we know right now with matthews damage youre expecting to esee. Im most concerned about what the water could do and not just in terms of damage to structures, but lives. This is a big, major hurricane that is just offshore, and it is fully capable of producing lifethreatening storm surge, and if you are in an area that Emergency Managers have told you to evacuate and theres time to go, you absolutely have to go now. Your life could depend on it, and flooding and not just the flooding of structures. If youre in the wrong spots, that can take lives as well. You were listening over the the past 24 hours. This is the strongest language i have heard in a long time in terms of getting people to evacuate. Tell us why. I have used words i havent used in a long time talking this could be. Because when you have a hurricane not just impacting individuals, but the scope that could unfold here, affecting so many communities and states is what were concerned about. Because we know from hurricane history that water takes 9 out of 10 lives in u. S. Tropical systems. Thats why were urging people to heed the instructions. If you live in mobile homes, you need to heed those as well. Deadly aspects of water. Florida has not seen this type of storm in over a decade. Jacksonville in more than 100 years. Is it fair to say this is a historymaking storm . Absolutely. Matthew will write some history. The key here is that you dont want to be a part of it. I dont want to be writing a report from the National Hurricane center that totals up the storm surge and youre one of them. Thats part of the history that to florida right now. What can folks in North Carolina, South Carolina and georgia expect . Bottom line is theres a little bit of time left especially in georgia and itsou carolina to get out. The storm surge and flooding from water will be the main concern that threatens lives. Thank you for that important information. In the caribbean, a scene of destruction. Hundreds of people have been killed, and alex perez is in the ba the aftermath of the hurricane. Good morning, alex. Reporter good morning, amy. After a nearly 24hour downpour, the rain here has finally stopped as streets are flooded and trees down everywhere and process of assessing damage just beginning. Overnight, Hurricane Matthew lashing the bahamas. The then powerful category 4 storm roaring through nassau leaving behind a trail of destruction. The violence, 145mileperhour winds, sending debris flying. Oh [ bleep ]. Reporter toppling trees, to power lines, even ripping the side off this hotel. The storm surge so powerful boats sent smashing on to shore. More than 3,000 tourists on this Popular Island destination seeking shelter in Hotel Conference rooms, anything to protect them from this deadly hurricane. Now residents picking up the pieces. Still assessing the damage. Thousands still without power. But before Hurricane Matthew pounded the bahamas, it left behind a dire humanitarian crisis in haiti. Across the country, reports of coastal flooding and demolished roads. This morning the coast guard providing a clear picture of the damage Hurricane Matthew left in its path, crews conducting the first poststorm assessments over haiti. You can see home after home leveled. The United Nations moving in helping residents salvage what they can, 21,000 people now while officials fear there are at least 350,000 in need of immediate assistance. Some government officials in haiti saying at least 280 people have died. That number is expected to grow. And its still unclear when the airport here in nassau will reopen. The long process of cleaning up just starting here. Amy. All right, alex perez, horrific images. Thank you so much for keeping us updated. Coming up, Hurricane Matthew taki donald trump and Hillary Clinton shutting down their operations in florida, how this storm could shape the election. Next. . We asked people to write down roller derby. . Now give up half of em. Do i have to . This is a tough financial choice we could face when we retire. But, if we start saving even just 1 more of our annual income. We could keep doing all the things we love. Prudential. Bring your challenges. wolf howls screams . . . . Get outta here times up back of the line hey. Excuse me. What great sandwich. Thanks. . You didnt have to be so nice . Get outta here. Hurricane matthew hitting florida right there. Also taking center stage in the race for the white house. Just 32 days until the final votes. Candidates addressing the storm as they gear for that debate sunday. The stakes high for donald trump. He has fallen behind in the polls and abcs tom llamas has been with him from the start. Good morning. Reporter both deep in debate prep but keeping tabs on Hurricane Matthew and trump denying an event he had in New Hampshire was a practice run for sunday but it sure looked like one. Overnight, donald trump issuing his own hurricane warning. It looks like its a big one and its going to be a bad one. Reporter trump also concerned because of his personal connection with the impact zone. We have a lot of friends in florida. A lot of buildings, a lot of investments in florida. A lot of great employees in florida. Reporter both the trump and Clinton Campaigns shutting down offices in florida. Clinton tweeting tips from fema Hurricane Matthew is a major storm. I urge everyone to follow emergency instructions and evacuate if youre told to. But as they watch the storm both candidates are preparing for sundays big debate. This has nothing to do with sunday. And its like they make you into a child. Reporter in New Hampshire trump insisting he was not practicing for sundays debate. Even though he was hosting a town hall the same format as sundays a countdown clock timing his answers. Forget debate prep. Give me a break. Do you really think Hillary Clinton is debate prepping for three or four days . Hillary clinton is resting. Reporter but if this was a warmup, the rules were very lax. The questions mostly softballs. And the event, invite only. And about that timer i have a clock down on the floor there that says two minutes. Okay. Now, do you want me to call you when it goes over two minutes. Ill tell you what, if im doing well, dont call me. Immediately. In fact, you could go in 30 seconds you could do it, all right . All right. Reporter i think the rules will be tougher on sunday with martha. Now, because of Hurricane Matthew the Clinton Campaign had hoped florida would extend Voter Registration deadline which is next tuesday, but Florida Governor, rick scott, who is a major trump not extending it because, quote, people have had time to register. He said this is all politics but extended them in South Carolina ahead of the storm. Jon karl right now, jesse palmer, there is concern in the clinton camp bullish about early voting in the carolinas and florida that this might have an impact. Absolutely, george. We have seen in the past how close races can be in florida. Every single vote counts. So the clinton team has asked for that extension on Voter Registration and think there are tens of thousands more who would some may be prevented from doing so as a result of this storm and may have an effect on early voting. We saw donald trump at that town meeting. Hes also signaling that he could be focusing a lot more on policy than the personal attacks on sunday. At least thats what hes saying now. Reporter he has said directly in an email statement to page 6 of the new york post. He does not intend to get personal regarding bill clintons past infidelities. That he wants to focus on the issues. I know thats what his team is saying as well. The thing is, george, as we have seen with donald trump, we just dont know what is going to happen during the course of that 90minute debate. We know he needs a powerful performance. He absolutely needs to change the trajectory of this race. If you look, george, at virtually every poll, national le tos and it the polls in all of the key states, he has lost ground since that last debate. That last debate was not good for him. He needs to change this. If the trajectory stays the same jon karl, thanks very much. I know youll be in st. Louis sunday night. Our martha raddatz, one of the comoderators on sunday night as well and ill anchor our live coverage at 9 00 eastern. Coming up here in just two minutes, Hurricane Matthew pounding the east coast.

See the high winds and the rain and theyre bracing for the storm, but were going to go back to rob in South Carolina. And rob, you have some serious warnings for everyone thats in the storm zone. Reporter yeah, michael. You know, we have 24 hours till the brunt of this storm hits here. Were in the low country of South Carolina which means that weve got three rivers and a harbor that kind of converge on charleston so very susceptible to storm surge. Some thoughts for you now on what you should do and where you should be when the storm hits. This is where you do not want to be as Hurricane Matthew strikes. [ bleep ]. Reporter overnight, the storms rage sparking this dangerous electrical explosion. As matthew pounds the coast of florida. These renderings a preview of in Cape Canaveral, the main concern, storm surge which could get as high as 11 feet and those surging waters posing a lifethreatening risk. Ginger zee explains. Say youre inside a home at the coast. This is what it may look like. The water approaching quickly and viciously entering your home and climbing up the walls and when storm surge combines with high tide the rapid rise in some that i may think its the high winds, but storm surge is actually the greatest threat to life and property from a hurricane. Reporter thats why more than 3 million were told to evacuate the coast. To have someone drive by this morning and say, you have to leave and theres going to be a 20foot wall of water in your house was pretty scary. Reporter as the storm makes its way up the east coast another big threat flying debris. Watch this Lab Simulation of a piece of wood thrown at Hurricane Force. Experts say you can protect your home and your those windows up with plywood or installing impact resistant glass. So we have the storm surge, the wind but also like dr. Knabb said, we also have to deal with inland flooding. 9 of 10 deaths are from water. Not just the storm surge, but also the rainfall. That combination, especially in georgia and South Carolina is going to be potentially deadly because this is where the rainfall is really going to be a front and the jet stream that will interact with matthew so we expect to see over ten inches of rainfall in this area in the next 24 to even 48 hours so that will rise the rivers that all funnel down here and youve got that onshore flow and the way the coastline is shaped kind of a pocket there, and this persistent east wind will pile up and bulldoze that storm surge so 7 to 11 feet potentially and more than that. So dangerous situation going to be unfolding here in the next 24 to 36 hours. Ill toss it back to you. Amy, you are familiar with this area. Practically nobody there. As you know, thats a good thing.

So lets start out with david muir. He is leading our coverage from jacksonville. The storm is heading your way, david. Reporter hey, george, no question the bands are intensifying. As weve been on the air this morning, take a look at the waves behind me. Much closer to us than they were when we came on the air with and theyve been talking about it for a good 24 hours now, not just the wind, theyre expecting wind gusts up to 120, 125 Miles Per Hour here but its the water. The storm surge up to 7 to 11 feet and keep in mind during superstorm sandy, that was nine feet we were talking about. This could be 11 feet water on top of land here. Theyre expecting catastrophic damage. Its also going to happen at high tide so youre going to combine those forces and we could really see something here quite historic. In fact, fema just moments ago craig fugate telling us he wants people in Central Florida to take this extremely seriously. Take a listen. People look at the wind too much and so theyre going to say, hey, it wasnt that bad in south florida, just Power Outages and trees down. Must not be too bad. This is still a very dangerous situation to be played out with storm surge and that is our biggest concern right now. The Hurricane Force winds will do what theyre going to do. Theyll knock power out and do structural damage but the big the country that hasnt seen it since probably the late 1800s to the degree we may see it with this storm. Reporter not since the late 1800s you heard him say it right there. Because of the lowlying area here in jacksonville there are a number of bridges and authorities have been warning families who live here to get out. Likely too late. Those bridges will be closing soon becau fear, george, that the water coming in with this storm surge will be like something they havent seen as you heard there in 100 years in jacksonville. Okay, david, i know youll be on the scene for world news tonight and ginger is in melbourne, florida, with the latest on its path and impact. Hey, ginger. Hey there, george. We are on the southwest side of that storm already so it has passed just way too close for comfort but fortunately the eyewall stayed away from right here. Look at it on the map now because its essentially on top of Cape Canaveral and Miles Per Hour. As it moves northnorthwest, it is still a category 3 at last update. 120mileperhour max sustained winds. It will hug along the coast and i loved what david was talking about with the storm surge, so true. Dont just worry about the wind. You can see it there. Saturday night into sunday as it finally makes its way off back into the atlantic. Timing out the quick look at those Hurricane Force winds so important to note too, jacksonville will feel it later this afternoon and evening and goes into georgia, South Carolina, through the day tomorrow and again all the of us say goodbye to it by monday. George. We have a lot of hours before monday, though. Ginger, looks like that wind is whipping you around there. Yeah, this we get it in waves. Thats for sure because itll go calm and then itll come right back at us. So were still seeing sustained winds easily 50 to 60 Miles Per Hour at points. All right, ginger.

You want tough love, mentholyptus halls with big time cooling flavor. Y. Tough love. Soft love. That is Lisa Colagrossi. She was an anchor here in new york before she died unexpectedly from a brain aneurysm. And now her husband is doing everything he can to prevent that from happening to others. It already saved one womans life. Remarkable story. About po 30,000 people in the u. S. Suffer from a brain aneurysm rupture each year and half of those are fatal. Thats what happened to is working to make sure that others recognize the warning signs that his wife missed. Now were starting to see more closures than delays. Reporter like so many women, Lisa Colagrossi was always on the go, a deadlinedriven new york city reporter, a wife and mom to two boys. Her family meant everything to her. Reporter last year colagrossi began suffering terrible headaches, but put off going to the doctor. I stopped and said, dont you think we should go get those checked . And she said, i dont have time. Ill take an aspirin. Through. Power through it. Reporter what she didnt know, those were symptoms of a ticking time bomb, a brain aneurysm. Then moments after finishing a live shot one morning last march, colagrossi collapsed. I got a call from one of the top neurosurgeons saying that they had my wife and they werent sure why. Reporter her brain aneurysm ruptured leading to a massive now her husband todd is working tirelessly to save others starting the Lisa Colagrossi foundation dedicated to teaching the signs and symptoms of brain aneurysm starting with an inaugural gala and it is working. I had completed working out and on my way home i experienced a sudden, very sudden headache. Reporter after hearing todd tell lisas story on a radio broadcast, chris sen and then that afternoon i just went into the emergency room and nine hours later i went home with this diagnosis. Reporter turns out chris did have an aneurysm. Todds warning saved her life. How are you . Im good. Reporter last week they met for the very first time. Thats a real credit to, you know, my loving and beautiful wife that angela heard my story and that chris can be counted as a survivor and is here today. The foundation will also be releasing a psa soon featuring Whoopi Goldberg whose brother died unexpectedly of a brain aneurysm and theyve also created a website with a lot of resources about this. Its the Lisa Colagrossi foundation and people can find it online. More on this from dr. Jen ashton and, boy, lets begin with the basics. What is an aneurysm . Why are they so dangerous . If you think about the artery, blood vessels, you can get an aneurysm anywhere in the body. This would be a normal blood vessel. Basically an aneurysm is a bulging or a weakening in one part of it and since the arterial blood flow is under high pressure, that can start to leak and rupture which can be fatal. The good news is that many people have these and they dont rupture. But its so heartbreaking to see lisa had the warning signs but ignored them. What should people be watching for . What people need to understand, the classic one is a sudden severe headache. In medicine we call it the worst headache of life and those are the words someone should use if nausea and vomiting and sudden blurry vision or change in your vision, sudden drooping of the eyelid. There are lots more symptoms. If you think they overlap with stroke, thats correct. The bottom line, the response should be the same. Call 911. Immediately. Get to an emergency room. Do not deny, ignore or delay. How about the underlying risk factors. Some people are born with increased risk factors for aneurysms. Other things are under our control. Things like smoking, uncoro pressure, excessive Alcohol Consumption or drug abuse. Lisa didnt have any of those things and a lot of people dont, but the good news is the awareness can be lifesaving. Thats what were trying to do and what the foundation is doing. Jen, thanks for joining us. Coming up, well have more on Hurricane Matthew. It is moving up the coast right now.

As Hurricane Matthew barrels along the florida coast, its all hands on deck. More than 12 Million People were bracing for the storm. Overnight twitter exploding with the prayforflorida urging those o seriously. Those ominous clouds looming over the Sunshine State and the gusty winds.

Were hoping folks all across the u. S. In their communities step up to help the folks being affected by Hurricane Matthew. Sign up to volunteer or sign up to make a financial donation. If you want to donate you theres several different chapters doing what we call just in Time Training so were teaching folks about how to shelter residents in a red cross shelter so you have expertise so you can be able to help in your local community. Reporter i have to say it was so cool to see people are always concerned about pets in these situations. And this hotel that we were in had as many pets as it did people. So great to see that folks kept them with and the hotels allowed the pets to come in there. I want to do a quick check of the storm and the next ingredient that we are, of david mentioned it earlier. But it all has to do with the tide and the timing. So areas north of us here could still see 7 to 11 feet of storm surge on top of the winds, the heavy rains and, of course, im sorry, im getting pelted here pretty hard. Starting to feel a little daggery. Afternoon. Highs will g be in the upper 50s to lower 60s. The weekend continues to look great with highs well into the 60s both days.

Ill pretend you. Hi, mom. I love you. Should we get to our combo. Amy and a have been talking about something. People waste a lot of time without even knowing about it. Im going to Say Something that i do. Im going to be full disclosure. How many of you have wasted an entire night like i have just watching trailers and never actually picking the movie or anyone . [ applause ] in fact, im so bad my kids will say youve watched that trailer like three times now. Ours is exactly the opposite. Sitting on the couch and the girls will go through eight, nine, trailers, i say, just pick anything. According to a new study this is hilarious we spend 19 minutes watching trailers before we actually pick something and if you look at that in its entirety how much time were wasting watching trailers, the way spend 24 minutes. That was a global thing adds up to six days a year. Every single day. Im more focused. I sort of turn it on knowing theres something i want to watch. I get right to it. Sometimes when you dont know im guilty of that looking at trailers. I like parts of it. Yes, this is the one and the scene comes on and im like, nah, that aint it. If you spend 24 minutes on average, by the time you cut the commercials out of everything, mens. I actually spend so much time doing it its time to go to bed. We have a table divide here. We do. We do. One of those things, pick it, know it. And stick it. Behave. Your mom is here. That wasnt even me. Trust me, youll know. So i want to talk to about the word fiance. Whats your feeling on it . Do you like the word . Does it bother you. Its kind of elegant. It feels a this is my fiance. I like when you say fiance but when you say fiance, thats a little different. Makes sense. Fiance. Well, a lot of people are saying the New York Times article is saying many, many people in this generation are less concerned with labels and, in fact, consider the word to be exactly that, pompous and so theyre suggesting a new label is needed and so im wondering what would you this is the guy im going to just a description. This is the man i love or this is the woman that i love. Sounds like youre not going to marry. I would agree with that. I dont know why but apparently the millennial generation its brag by. This is my dude. Like what are you supposed to say . What other word is what is another word for fiance . Well, my betrothed. Thats even more pompous. My betrothed. No words are neede i dont this is my lover. Ooh. Lover . Again, might not be getting married but how is it braggy. A status thing. Look at my ring, this is my fiance. It all sounds so important. Please dont say look at my ring. That is part of what this generation just does not like. Theyre more of an understated i saw one where they said it is on your hand. Thats a good one. If you are a man our advice to men from george and i because we think the same, george. Always. [ laughter ] always. You guys are like separated at birth. If you do get engaged and she is with you and you introduce her you better say fiancee. Do not dont worry about this article. Michael, if i get engaged now im in a lot more trouble than that. Level.

But it is you play an accountant in the movie but i heard your my mom is an accountant and i you have to explain all of this to me. Shes like a math whiz and been working as an account apartment for her whole life and explaining all the financial aspects because its really kind of a puzzle and you dont have to like be a math whiz to follow the movie i thought i should kind of know what they mean and the second i was done, thats gone forever. Farewell. Thank you. But she was also excited because she theres all these like jokes about how account apartments are boring and so she wa accountant movie. It is like intrigue and like, you know, fights and its very exciting. Thats what i see when i go see my account apartment. Intrigue.

When youre in a space thats exciting and enspiring and makes you feel comforted you do your best work so this is why we focus on adding an inspiration board of photos of your family that make you feel supported and comforted when youre at the office and focused on adding bright pops of color that bring favorite things always flesh flowers or plants bring in bright, fresh energy and then my favorite tip is this is fabric on the back wall and you can have the most boring cueing cubd you can add push pins. Because you can push your all of your work, mantras right into it and not ruining it. Not like wallpaper or a wall you can use gift wrap if you dont want to spend money on wallpaper and fabric. You have on your blog. I look at it all the time. This is more of an inspirational book. How do the two how do they go together . For me business and design have always gone hand in hand but primarily because i spent so many years talking about amazingly beautiful things but i found the people behind those things and their stories were so much more fascinating and inspiring and wanted to collect a diverse collection of those could go back to it and find their path to success. How did it feel when you recalled the Martha Stewart of the millennials. A little surreal. I want to be Martha Stewart. Dont weigh all . Yes. I want her shoe collection. Have you ever seen it. So neat and perfect and so are you and this book is so inspiring. I love that you took the time to do it. Please more books to come. Absolutely. And that blog, design sponge, you guys and the name of the book, grace bonney, creative genius, thank you for being with us. Thanks for having me. Were back with aja naomi king. You know her from how to get away with murder. But yes, but now shes taking birth of a nation and the wife of nat turner and in this scene he comes to see her while hes on the run. Take a look. Killed people everywhere for no reason at all for being black. They say the killing wont stop till they get you. I mean, that is a very powerful scene in the movie. And that camera is all on you. Just your face and how was it to see yourself on its pretty insane actually. Especially in a film like this one. You know, im used to watching how to get away with murder which is, you know, like this really fun show that we do, but seeing Something Like this being a part of telling a story that is so crucial to understand about our history as black people in this country is just its its just so necessary and such a very visceral way for me and im just so grateful i got to take on this part. Did it very well and armie hammer was here and we saw you on the auction block. That was your first day of filming. That was a heavy first day. Yeah, and that wassen extremely heavy day. I didnt know how that was going to be for me emotionally. Ive never portrayed this kind i hate saying character because she was a real she was a real person that, you know, was living and breathing on this earth and i wte honor her but that was really terrifying to have to step up there and do that and it feels humiliating and you understand immediately the kind of fear that these people lived through but i had to remember that this was her reality and shes stronger than i am and i had to let that kind of just enter me and allow that to exist on the screen. And this film won the sundance grand jury prize, had a record sale price. Theres a lot of oscar buzz take it in. Dont be shy about it. [ applause ] how do you feel about that . I mean, it is very nice when people say nice things but the thing that means the most to me is that people will see the film and that it will educate them about a part of our history that i didnt even know and im so embarrassed to say that and i hope they understand that we we have that kind of power inside of us and we can all access and tap into our greatness and walk in that. Well, you know what, youre walking in it the how to get away with murder, cant wait to see you there but you can go see the birth of a nation. Its in theaters now and well be right back, everybody.
