We are still a long ways away from Hurricane Matthew actually arriving here in savannah. Right now it looks like it could be, could be a direct hit which savannah hasnt seen since 1898. This is still a really dangerous hurricane that the potential for storm surge, flooding, loss of life, and severe Property Damage continues to exist. Reporter places like savannah are boarded up and bracing for Hurricane Matthew as it continues to roar up the east coast causing flooding, downing trees, and knocking out power to hundreds of thousands. It has left a deadly wake in the caribbean, killing hundreds in haiti. When it began blasting florida it was downgraded to a category 3 store but still packing 120 mileperhour winds. By mitt afternoon mandatory evacuations winds had dropped to 115 Miles Per Hour. Officials warned this storm is still a real threat. South carolinas governor warns the forecast for her state has gotten worse with major potentially deadly storm surges, flooding, and winds all predicted there. Please evacuate. Even if its too a shelter. Reporter and while hundreds of thousands have fled coastal South Carolina, some still are not heeding evacuation warnings. We have been watching it, but, yeah, i guess were not too worried. Not worried enough to leave. Reporter the big concern hear is storm surge. They are saying 12 feet. The height of the storm is supposed to hit during high tide. Meteorologists say add an extra seven feet on to that. That is a tremendous amount of water and could have deadly repercussions. I was going to ask you, obviously we talked to you at four and the rain has certainly picked up. Talk to me about has that just been within the last hour . Reporter yeah. Probably even less than that. Probably the last 20 minutes its really kicked up. We were down there the last time we talked to, bay street, the lowest lying fleet in savannah. The reason we came up here is we saw some garbage cans and umbrellas flying around and they can become projectiles. We are up here elevated a little bit. A little while ago we saw what we thought was a transformer blowing out across the river. So the intensity picking up this evening. Joel waldman, stay safe there. Things are going to get worse before they get better. We will talk to you later this evening. Thanks, joel. We want to head over to our chief meteorologist bill martin. Bill, you heard joel mention the storm surge and that that really is a big concern, especially for those folks . Its the whole deal with this storm. The storm surge, because been working up the coast, still a category 2 hurricane. The gentleman in the report is 18 miles inland. By tybee island, those guys are going to be underwater if they get 8, 12foot of storm surge. This storm is down to a category 2, but the eye wall has expanded. The storm surge a big deal. When the eye wall expands, you are creating more water to push onshore. You are creating a larger storm surge. Maybe not higher, but a larger area of water impacted. And with that in mind you can expect to see plenty of storm surge in these areas. The forecast then as we head through time, 25 well, right now its 25mileperhour winds at daytona beach. Gusting to 63 in jacksonville. This hurricane thus far has stayed offshore. We are talking about a ton of water moving out there. And this is where the system is now. Its a cat 2. 110 going north at 12. The other thing to note here is its a category 2 in savannah tomorrow morning or late tonight here, and what i want to point out here, you see how the coastline turns like in . This current can now all of a sudden going into storm surge, winds and rain are now going to slam more perpendicular into the coast as they come out of the right quadrant, the heaviest rain, wind, storm surge. They are going to get the most direct hit from the storm. The headlines will come from savannah and South Carolina. I dont think its bad in florida, but savannah, north into South Carolina towards hilton head. The storm surge right now anywhere from 10 to 12 feet. 9 feet kind of averaging along the coast. Then you have got all the water, especially in South Carolina, coming out of those hills. They have had major Flooding Issues for the last three months in the carolinas. They are going to see a lot of water out of that river at the high tide storm surge. Tons of problems there, as well. The other side is all this water, this rain, we are talking about the concerns for the zika virus because in this area the mosquito colonies and where we will have standing water in many places. Its an ongoing story. This is a story thats not going away this weekend. This hurricane turning to a Tropical Storm will be around early next week off the Central United states. When i come back we will talk about your forecast. Thanks, bill. In haiti, the death toll from Hurricane Matthew has reached a staggering 842. Many of the victims were killed by flying debris as winds of 145 Miles Per Hour tore through the area on tuesday. U. S. Marines have arrived in haiti to assist survivors of the storm. As many as 60,000 people remain in shelters. Here in the bay area, a San Franciscobased charity called new story is already helping storm victims to rebuild. It only cost 6,000 to fund a home, and eight weeks later you get the video of the Family Moving from their tents into a beautiful new home. The devastation in haiti prompted the government to postpone a president ial election there, which was scheduled for sunday. Stay with ktvu and ktvu. Com throughout the night for the latest weather alerts from Hurricane Matthew. The race for the white house, and newly released audio and video of donald trump. On the tape obtained by the Washington Post the gop nominee grabs about groping and kissing women while using very graphic language. We will play a portion of that recording for you now. Its from 2005 and it was taken on a bus heading it the set of a soap opera. The other voice that you will hear on the tape besides trump is billy bush. He is the host of ac hollywood. I moved on her, actually. She was i moved on her and i failed. I admit it. I did try to [bleep]. She was married. Nancy. And i moved on her very heavily. In fact, i took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said i will show you some nice furniture. I moved on her like a [bleep] and i couldnt get there and she was married. Now she has the big phony [bleep]. She is the hottest [bleep]. In the burple . Whoa whoa thats good. I am going to use some particular tax in tictacs. I am attracted to beautiful girls. You can do anything. Grab them by the [bleep]. [ laughter ] you can do anything. All right. Trump has issued a statement that reads, quote, this was locker room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago. Bill clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course. Not even close. I apologize if anyone was offended. Lets start with that apology, if you call it that, bringing in bill clinton. Is that going to fly . Well, i think its an acknowledgment that there is a debate sunday night. He already talked about he wanting to bring up his affair with monica lewinsky. Like if we are going to go there in the debate about what i said here, then i intend to invoke your husbands memory in this, as well. I dont know that any of this is good for the body of politics or the other issues that a president has to deal with that we continuously get drug back into to this. I am talking about it on a news program instead of what he intend to do about terrorism. These are character issues. Women are more than 50 of the voting electorate. I dont know that any women would think about the words that you did or didnt hear on the tape, that were blanked out, would think that thats okay. Everybody would look at that in a way that is very disapproving. We are getting closer to the election. A month and a day or so. How bad do you think this is for donald trump at this particular stage of the game . I guess two answers. The first is i think we have all been wondering for a year now like what will be the tipping point, because there is a series. And i dont think there is anything he said here thats a pattern of behavior different than things he said in the past with the capacity to outrage people and also with women with whom he has a big deficit. Hillary clinton polls 15 more in the electorate. At what point does the, not only does a voter shy away from him, but candidates, other republicans who have supported him publicly, if i walk up to one of them and say what do you think about trump . Now its their own political skin here, right . I said there were consequences. I think, by the way, this makes sunday nights debate all the more important because there are a number of people in washington, senators and congressional representatives. New hampshire senator is facing a very serious challenge from her democratic opponent. He is being held to account because she made a statement earlier in the Campaign Season saying she thought donald trump was a role model for children. That is being rolled out on Television Ads and the like with her challengers saying look at the judgment of this person for standing with trump. She has declined to endorse him. There are lots of people in her position who thought they had safe seats, that are at risk because of the closeness of trump. Unless he does something to reverse this hemorrhaging sunday night, you can see those people flee, even if it means it cost them money from the rnc. The longer this happens, the more toxic it becomes for their reelection efforts. She is at risk. She might lose that seat. Thank you. We will have lots more to talk about in the days to come. Yeah. Of course, we will be following sundays town hall debate. It takes place there in st. Louis and it will be moderated by Cnns Anderson Cooper as well as Martha Raddatz of abc. Again, that is coming up on sunday at 6 in the evening and you can watch it right here on ktvu. Authorities have released mugshots of six men charged in connection with a series of Home Invasions and burglaries in the east bay. Police say these six men are gang members responsible for incidents in fremont, danville, and livermore. They are investigating whether the same men are tied to a shooting of a School Board Member in lorinda and similar incidents in dublin and other cities. The men who are 18 to 20 years old are the ones seen in this Surveillance Video of a frightening breakin in freemont in august. The residents werent home at the time. One of the victims told ktvu the police did, quote, good work and that she is grateful the suspects have been arrested. The victim of a livermore Home Invasion told ktvu she is shaken to the core, but hopes that the men will be convicted. It all starts tonight. Game one against the best team in baseball this year, the chicago cubs. Up next, a preview of what to expect. The stars of the show are in the air and out on the water. Today in the bay, fleet week excitement grows as we get closer to this weekends airshow. And its warming up again as we head towards the bay area weekend. A big difference from a week ago. Temperatures back into the low 90s. The warmest day on the weekend and what to expect next week with a chance of a shower. Honey, is the internet back yet . Yes i need to let her know that i like this i like, like, like, like. I havent seen a movie based on a comic book in so long. I know. Were over here internet people get high Speed Internet from at t. With over 99 reliability. At an everyday price with no extra monthly fees. Keep calm, you internets on. You know what that is. Its time. Giantscubs. Boy, okay, so the giants overcome the wildcard challenge, right . Right. Now its a tough best of five series as i mentioned against the red hot cubs. Yet they have been there before. They have. And we have been on that ride before. If this feels like a familiar road for the giants, you only need to have a memory of what happened two years ago this year the destination is chicago for a best of five series after a wildcard win on the road in new york. The cubs are favored and have home field advantage. Tonights giants starter johnny cueto met the cubs once this year on september 4 at wrigley field. He allowed one run on five hits through seven innings. That came turned into one of those bullpen failures for the giants. The cubs tied the game with a run in the ninth and one in the 13th off matt renee. The tenth giant pitcher of the day. In their three world series championships in five years, the giants made winning on the road a staple. It will have to be that way again to win a fourth. We had a travel day yesterday. It was a long travel day, too. Coming from new york to here, you would think we were heading to europe waiting in traffic and waiting on airplanes. It was six or seven hours. But its good to stay in the full of things. It is. Ill be honest. Not take too much time off. Not too much time to think about anything. We had to get here yesterday and play today. Getting close to first pitcher. A cup of lineup tweaks. Denard span and joe panik are not in the starting lineup. They will start with hernandez and tomlinson in place of panik. Is it any surprise bruce bochy is pushing buttons . The cubs a fantastic team and they have the nation behind them. Everybody wants this poor franchise this win a world series. I would think the giants have to win one of these two. Yeah. If the giants split, and i like their chances with cueto on the mound tonight, then all of a sudden you have these cubs that are going to be hearing about the curse of the billly goat and the fact that they havent won a world series championship since 1980 and all of those things. Get steve bart man out here. Exactly. Until then they have the best record in baseball and they are the favored team. As the giants have proven in these sort series, they are built for these type of series and the cubs do not want them to feel like they have a chance to win it. Thanks so much, joe. Sure. All right, in the air and in the water, the stars of fleet week took over the bay today. Sky fox caught the parade of ships sailing and the golden gate bridge. The blue angels took to the sky for the first of three airshows this week. One million spectators expected to come to San Francisco this weekend for the annual celebration. Ktvus Tara Moriarty tells us all about the action packed day one. Reporter in a style completely american and wholly San Francisco fleet week festivities kicked off with a parade of ships coming under the golden gate bridge. For san jose native Corporal Jacob aaron, its a dream come true. When i was a kid i watched the blue angels. Now i am a part of it, probably the coolest thing ever. I always get a thrill when i see navy ships. I always like seeing the sailors come into town and the marines. My grandpa was a marine. So its always special. Reporter these marines trained for two and a half months to get to this point. The silent drill platoon. This rifle demonstration is to show the public what these men stand for. That the marine corps is still alive. The discipline is still there. The honor and the love of corp is there. Just to see whats going on, its great. A great feeling. Reporter the usmc First Division band wowed crowds this morning. And the highlight of fleet week for most the airshow. The stars of the show the blue angels, of course. It really moves me because my father was a lieutenant in world war ii in the navy, and so that has brought a flood of memories back to me. Something that i am not gonna ever forget and i am going to be forever thankful for the experience. Reporter if you missed the platoon you can catch it tomorrow morning at union square at 10 00 along with the band. The airshow runs from noon to 4 p. M. Saturday and sunday. Of course, the tour of the ships goes through monday. In San Francisco, Tara Moriarty, ktvu fox 2 news. Look at tara in the city sleeveless, right . Yeah. But when you saw those pictures, i mean, blue skies for the blue angels. Fantastic. It really is. It couldnt be more of an october day. It is just classic fall right now. We have got temperatures we had temperatures in the city today in the low 80s with the sky behind me, the sunset is going to be stunning. No fog along the coast. A live camera shot. You are looking back at the federal buildings here. The twin buildings in oakland, right . You see these high clouds. Not a harbinger of anything to come. More than just a beautiful sunset. The weekend is going to be outstanding. We are looking for temperatures throughout the weekend around the bay in the 80s. Saturday will be the warmest day, tomorrow, but there is no fog to speak of. High pressure with a slight offshore flow. We see that north wind. Thats considered offshore, even though its not a classic northeasterly. You see a little bit of wind coming this way and that way. It would be blowing everything north like point reyes and bodega way. For San Francisco its a north kind of side shore wind. Either way, its warm. 84 fairfield. Warmer today than yesterday. Look at the difference. 6 degrees warmer. We have steadily been warming since we got into since we started monday. Monday was that cool day with temperatures in the low 60s. Overnight lows tonight, there they are. You see them getting down to the 40s, which is typical. Nights are getting long. Days are getting short. Sun is setting early. In this High Pressure center sets us up what i anticipate to be the warmest day of the week tomorrow. As we head into sunday, weakens a little bit and then as we head into monday and tuesday it weakens a lot, and the potential for rain later next week is pretty good. Models are keeping it in, especially on thursday and friday. We will watch it. I suspect by the middle, end of next week the weather is going to be seem a
