00:08.139 --> 00:09.568
FOLLOWING THIS MORNING, A LIFE

00:09.579 --> 00:10.508
THREATENING SITUATION AS

00:10.519 --> 00:11.448
TROPICAL STORM HELENE CONTINUES

00:11.459 --> 00:12.559
TO CHURN THROUGH THE SOUTHEAST

00:12.560 --> 00:13.171
THIS MORNING.

00:13.182 --> 00:14.113
WE’RE SEEING FLOODING

00:14.124 --> 00:15.112
EVERYWHERE.

00:15.113 --> 00:17.831
TONS OF WATER INUNDATING FLORIDA

00:17.865 --> 00:19.489
AND GEORGIA, AND BEYOND.

00:19.500 --> 00:21.269
THIS POWERFUL AND DEADLY SYSTEM

00:21.271 --> 00:24.235
MADE LANDFALL OVERNIGHT AS A

00:24.270 --> 00:25.235
CATEGORY 4 STORM.

00:25.246 --> 00:26.890
THE STRONGEST HURRICANE TO EVER

00:26.901 --> 00:28.388
HIT FLORIDA’S BIG BEND REGION,

00:28.399 --> 00:31.047
WITH WINDS OVER 140 MILES PER

00:31.058 --> 00:33.065
HOUR, AND A, QUOTE, UNSURVIVABLE

00:33.066 --> 00:34.951
STORM SURGE.

00:34.985 --> 00:36.776
THE IMPACTS NOW SPREADING.

00:36.787 --> 00:39.686
A FIRE DEPARTMENT IN THE ATLANTA

00:39.697 --> 00:41.959
SUBURBS RELEASING THIS VIDEO OF

00:41.993 --> 00:44.824
A WATER RESCUE FOR A WOMAN, HER

00:44.835 --> 00:46.804
BABY SKPIRAND THEIR DOGS.

00:46.805 --> 00:49.543
THIS STORM IS NOT DONE YET.

00:49.544 --> 00:51.616
LET’S GET RIGHT TO MARISSA

00:51.650 --> 00:53.746
PARRA, WITH RESCUERS IN TAMPA.

00:53.757 --> 00:54.512
WHAT’S HAPPENING THERE?

00:54.523 --> 00:55.935
>> Reporter: HEY THERE, I WANT

00:55.946 --> 00:57.390
TO SET THE SCENE FOR YOU.

00:57.391 --> 00:58.804
WE WERE OUT WITH HILLSBORO

00:58.815 --> 01:00.268
COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE, I HAVE

01:00.269 --> 01:02.233
CORPORAL HARTFORD WITH ME, AND

01:02.244 --> 01:03.439
WE WERE GOING THROUGH THE

01:03.450 --> 01:05.023
NEIGHBORHOODS, AND THIS WAS

01:05.024 --> 01:07.429
MAYBE AS RECENT AS A FEW MINUTES

01:07.440 --> 01:08.740
AGO, WE’RE SEEING FLOODED WATERS

01:08.751 --> 01:10.498
STILL SEVERAL FEET HIGH ON SOME

01:10.532 --> 01:12.111
OF THESE STREETS, AND IT’S BEEN

01:12.112 --> 01:13.016
ALMOST 12 HOURS.

01:13.027 --> 01:14.581
YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW MUCH HIGHER

01:14.592 --> 01:16.103
IT WAS, AND HOPEFULLY OUR

01:16.104 --> 01:17.528
CONTROL ROOM CAN PULL UP VIDEO

01:17.563 --> 01:20.136
OF WHAT WE SAW AS RECENTLY AS A

01:20.147 --> 01:21.226
FEW MINUTES AGO, AND THE REASON

01:21.237 --> 01:23.838
WE ARE NO LONGER ON THOSE

01:23.849 --> 01:25.873
STREETS IS CORPORAL HARTFORD,

01:25.884 --> 01:27.372
YOU HAVE BEEN WORKING SINCE

01:27.373 --> 01:27.555
MIDNIGHT.

01:27.590 --> 01:28.910
YOU HAVE NOT HAD A BREAK, SO I

01:28.911 --> 01:30.055
THINK THEY’RE GOING TO SWAP

01:30.066 --> 01:31.696
TEAMS, BUT I’LL JUST SORT OF

01:31.707 --> 01:33.383
DESCRIBE FOR YOU WHAT WE SAW,

01:33.384 --> 01:34.947
WHAT I HAVE SEEN THE LAST 24

01:34.948 --> 01:36.629
HOURS BEFORE I ASK YOU A COUPLE

01:36.640 --> 01:39.685
OF QUESTIONS, BECAUSE I KNOW YOU

01:39.696 --> 01:41.544
HAVE DONE SEVERAL RESCUES, MANY

01:41.555 --> 01:43.556
OVERNIGHT, SO AS YOU CAN SEE,

01:43.567 --> 01:45.406
ANA, LOTS AND LOTS OF CLEAN UP

01:45.417 --> 01:47.105
TO BE DONE, AND CLEARLY NOW WE

01:47.139 --> 01:49.017
ARE SEEING DAYLIGHT, WE ARE

01:49.018 --> 01:50.356
GETTING A BETTER SCOPE OF THE

01:50.367 --> 01:50.613
DAMAGE.

01:50.614 --> 01:52.603
AND WE KNOW, WE HAVE HEARD FROM

01:52.638 --> 01:54.683
ALL KINDS OF REGIONS, WHETHER

01:54.694 --> 01:57.466
IT’S STEINHATCHEE, WHETHER IT’S

01:57.467 --> 01:59.184
CLEAR WATER, HORSESHOE BEACH.

01:59.186 --> 02:01.418
I SPOKE TO THE MAYOR, HE CALLED

02:01.419 --> 02:02.361
IT NOTHING SHORT OF

02:02.372 --> 02:02.993
CATASTROPHIC.

02:02.994 --> 02:04.694
WE’RE GOING TO HAVE A BETTER

02:04.705 --> 02:05.771
SENSE OF WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.

02:05.772 --> 02:06.945
I CAN TELL YOU ON THE GROUND

02:06.956 --> 02:09.196
WHAT I’M HEARING OVER AND OVER

02:09.231 --> 02:11.127
AND OVER AGAIN, INCLUDING FROM

02:11.138 --> 02:12.773
FOLKS LIKE CORPORAL HARTFORD,

02:12.784 --> 02:13.844
SEEING IT FIRSTHAND.

02:13.855 --> 02:15.522
SO MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE TOLD ME

02:15.557 --> 02:17.840
THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN IT LIKE

02:17.851 --> 02:19.377
THIS BEFORE, AND THAT’S VERY

02:19.412 --> 02:21.356
COMMON WITH A NATURAL DISASTER.

02:21.367 --> 02:22.827
SOMETHING LIKE THIS, THE RAPID

02:22.838 --> 02:23.904
INTENSIFICATION WITH CLIMATE

02:23.915 --> 02:25.467
CHANGE IS CATCHING PEOPLE OFF

02:25.478 --> 02:27.057
GUARD, PEOPLE WHO HAVE LIVED IN

02:27.058 --> 02:28.298
FLORIDA THEIR ENTIRE LIVES, WHO

02:28.309 --> 02:29.022
NEVER EXPECTED IT.

02:29.023 --> 02:30.250
THEY HAVE SEEN SO MANY

02:30.251 --> 02:31.233
HURRICANES PASS THROUGH.

02:31.268 --> 02:32.915
HERE WE HAVE ANOTHER EXAMPLE.

02:32.926 --> 02:34.165
JUST LIKE HURRICANE IAN.

02:34.176 --> 02:35.652
PEOPLE DROPPED THEIR GUARD, AND

02:35.653 --> 02:37.198
NOW CORPORAL HARTFORD, YOU SAW

02:37.199 --> 02:38.413
MANY PEOPLE, JUST IN THE ONE

02:38.424 --> 02:39.166
VEHICLE ALONE.

02:39.167 --> 02:40.616
WE’RE INSIDE OF THEIR RESCUE

02:40.651 --> 02:41.300
VEHICLE.

02:41.311 --> 02:42.636
IT’S AN AMPHIBIOUS VEHICLE.

02:42.638 --> 02:44.536
IT CAN GO THROUGH WATER AND

02:44.547 --> 02:46.774
LAND, AND YOU USED THIS TO

02:46.775 --> 02:48.060
RESCUE, YOU SAID, TWO DOZEN,

02:48.061 --> 02:48.938
ALMOST TWO DOZEN PEOPLE LAST

02:48.949 --> 02:49.780
NIGHT.

02:49.814 --> 02:52.670
>> AT LEAST TWO DOZEN, YES.

02:52.681 --> 02:54.282
>> WHAT WERE YOU SEEING?

02:54.283 --> 02:55.794
WHAT WAS THE AGE RANGE, THE

02:55.805 --> 02:56.789
CIRCUMSTANCES AND THE MENTAL

02:56.800 --> 02:58.025
FRAME OF MIND FOR THE PEOPLE

02:58.036 --> 02:58.870
THAT YOU WERE SEEING?

02:58.881 --> 03:00.348
>> WE THIS EVERYTHING FROM KIDS

03:00.349 --> 03:01.359
TO THE ELDERLY.

03:01.370 --> 03:03.113
EVERYONE WAS IN SHOCK.

03:03.124 --> 03:04.978
EVERYONE’S KIND OF SENSING THEY

03:04.989 --> 03:06.423
DIDN’T EXPECT THIS, THE STORM

03:06.434 --> 03:08.408
SURGE BEING HIGH, THE DAMAGE,

03:08.443 --> 03:09.936
THEM NOT BEING ABLE TO USE THEIR

03:09.947 --> 03:11.522
VEHICLES TO GET OUT BECAUSE THE

03:11.533 --> 03:12.719
WATER WAS SO HIGH.

03:12.720 --> 03:14.339
THAT WAS THE CONSENSUS OF

03:14.350 --> 03:15.393
EVERYONE WE SPOKE WITH LAST

03:15.427 --> 03:15.694
NIGHT.

03:15.705 --> 03:17.701
>> Reporter: YOU SAID A

03:17.735 --> 03:19.266
97-YEAR-OLD WOMAN, AND SHE WAS

03:19.277 --> 03:20.983
VERY AFRAID AND SHE WAS ALMOST

03:20.984 --> 03:22.349
IN A DIRE SITUATION, YOU SAID.

03:22.383 --> 03:23.950
>> SHE WAS BEDRIDDEN.

03:23.961 --> 03:25.594
WE HAD TO FULLY GET HER OUT

03:25.605 --> 03:26.500
HERE, AND GET HER TO MEDICAL

03:26.501 --> 03:26.903
CARE.

03:26.937 --> 03:29.208
SHE’S SAFELY AT THE HOSPITAL.

03:29.210 --> 03:30.318
>> Reporter: THANK GOODNESS YOU

03:30.329 --> 03:31.268
WERE ABLE TO GET IN CONTACT WITH

03:31.279 --> 03:31.570
HER.

03:31.572 --> 03:32.678
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS

03:32.689 --> 03:33.029
VEHICLE.

03:33.030 --> 03:34.397
THIS IS WHERE PEOPLE WERE

03:34.431 --> 03:37.037
RESCUED LAST NIGHT, I MEAN, YOU

03:37.048 --> 03:38.364
BROUGHT THEM ON HERE.

03:38.365 --> 03:39.689
HIGHLIGHT SOME OF WHAT WE’RE

03:39.691 --> 03:40.346
SEEING HERE.

03:40.357 --> 03:41.732
>> Reporter: THE GREAT PART

03:41.733 --> 03:43.247
ABOUT THIS VEHICLE IS IT CAN

03:43.258 --> 03:45.173
FLOAT COMPARED TO OTHER RESCUE

03:45.184 --> 03:45.809
VEHICLES WE HAVE.

03:45.820 --> 03:48.348
WE HAVE A WHOLE FLEET OF BOATS

03:48.359 --> 03:49.715
AND AIRBOATS, AND THERE’S STILL

03:49.717 --> 03:51.515
PLACES THIS TOOL IS GOING TO GET

03:51.526 --> 03:52.582
US INTO PLACES WHERE PEOPLE NEED

03:52.617 --> 03:54.294
HELP DURING THE STORM.

03:54.305 --> 03:55.659
THAT’S GOING TO BE THE THING

03:55.670 --> 03:56.475
THAT HELPS US GOING FORWARD.

03:56.509 --> 03:58.067
THE FACT THAT WE CAN GET UP

03:58.078 --> 03:59.530
RIGHT TO A HOUSE, A DOOR OR A

03:59.531 --> 04:00.951
WINDOW, AND WE CAN OPEN THE

04:00.962 --> 04:02.337
FRONT OR BACK DOOR AND GET

04:02.348 --> 04:02.923
SOMEONE IN.

04:02.934 --> 04:05.211
SOMEONE’S ON A STRETCHER, WE CAN

04:05.212 --> 04:06.922
FIT THEM HERE.

04:06.923 --> 04:09.622
THERE’S A LOT OF USES, WE DON’T

04:09.633 --> 04:11.516
HAVE TO WAIT OR MAKE CHOICES, WE

04:11.550 --> 04:13.112
CAN GET INTO ACTION.

04:13.113 --> 04:14.644
>> Reporter: FOR THE 97-YEAR-OLD

04:14.655 --> 04:15.675
WOMAN, THIS WAS LIFE SAVING.

04:15.686 --> 04:16.276
>> DEFINITELY.

04:16.311 --> 04:18.116
IT TOOK TWO OF US TO CARRY HER

04:18.118 --> 04:19.674
OUT AND HER ADULT DAUGHTER AS

04:19.685 --> 04:21.526
WELL, WE HAD TO GET OUT, AND WE

04:21.537 --> 04:22.701
GOT THEM SAFELY TO AN AMBULANCE,

04:22.712 --> 04:23.974
WHICH WAS STILL A COUPLE OF

04:23.975 --> 04:26.012
MILES AWAY FROM THEIR HOUSE

04:26.014 --> 04:27.419
BECAUSE THE FLOOD WATERS ARE SO

04:27.420 --> 04:27.632
BAD.

04:27.666 --> 04:28.593
>> Reporter: HOW LONG HAVE YOU

04:28.604 --> 04:29.545
HAD THIS VEHICLE?

04:29.556 --> 04:31.034
>> WE LITERALLY JUST GOT THIS

04:31.068 --> 04:32.574
VEHICLE IN THE LAST YEAR, AND

04:32.585 --> 04:34.046
ACTUALLY, WE HAVE SEEN ITS VALUE

04:34.080 --> 04:35.529
THAT THE SHERIFF WAS GENEROUS TO

04:35.540 --> 04:37.214
MAKE IT A PRIORITY TO BE A PART

04:37.225 --> 04:38.286
OF THIS YEAR’S BUDGET.

04:38.287 --> 04:40.284
WE HAVE TWO NOW, AND IT’S BEEN A

04:40.318 --> 04:41.746
GREAT TOOL FOR US.

04:41.747 --> 04:42.982
>> Reporter: ANA -- AND THANK

04:42.993 --> 04:44.579
YOU SO MUCH FOR ALLOWING US TO

04:44.590 --> 04:45.741
SEE IT FIRSTHAND, AND I WANT TO

04:45.776 --> 04:46.864
POINT SOMETHING OUT.

04:46.875 --> 04:49.108
WE WERE GOING ON A TOUR, AND

04:49.109 --> 04:51.546
KIND OF GETTING A SENSE OF THE

04:51.580 --> 04:52.096
VEHICLE’S CAPABILITIES.

04:52.107 --> 04:53.766
THEY HAD SAID THAT IT SEEMED

04:53.801 --> 04:56.227
LIKE THE RESCUES WERE SORT OF

04:56.229 --> 04:57.767
DYING DOWN.

04:57.778 --> 05:00.217
WE WERE DRIVING, AND WE SAW

05:00.218 --> 05:02.303
THESE GUYS GOT FLAGGED DOWN BY

05:02.304 --> 05:03.688
SOMEONE PASSING BY SAYING, HEY,

05:03.699 --> 05:05.819
YOU MIGHT WANT TO CHECK UP ON

05:05.830 --> 05:07.494
THIS ONE HOUSE, AND WE’RE STILL

05:07.528 --> 05:08.664
AWAITING OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION,

05:08.675 --> 05:10.419
BUT I WILL SAY THAT IT DOESN’T

05:10.430 --> 05:11.050
LOOK GOOD.

05:11.051 --> 05:12.382
IT SEEMED LIKE A GRIM SITUATION.

05:12.416 --> 05:13.678
I’LL SAY THAT.

05:13.679 --> 05:16.241
THERE WERE A LOT OF TRYING AND

05:16.252 --> 05:17.564
VERY EMOTIONAL FAMILY MEMBERS

05:17.598 --> 05:19.412
OUTSIDE OF THAT HOUSE.

05:19.423 --> 05:21.538
AND WE DON’T HAVE MORE DETAILS

05:21.539 --> 05:22.634
THAN THAT.

05:22.669 --> 05:24.939
ANA, I THINK THAT THAT IS A VERY

05:24.950 --> 05:27.991
SOBERING REALITY HERE, AND I

05:28.002 --> 05:30.250
THINK THAT THAT’S GOING TO BE

05:30.251 --> 05:31.779
UNFORTUNATELY SOMETHING THAT WE

05:31.814 --> 05:35.853
SEE AGAIN SOMEWHERE ELSE, MAYBE

05:35.855 --> 05:38.295
IN ANOTHER COAST, ANOTHER CITY

05:38.306 --> 05:40.032
BECAUSE THE BIG FEAR, THE BIG

05:40.033 --> 05:40.645
CONCERN.

05:40.646 --> 05:42.707
WE HEARD IT FROM PERRY

05:42.718 --> 05:44.459
OFFICIALS, PEOPLE WHO DIDN’T

05:44.494 --> 05:46.921
EVACUATE, FOR ONE REASON OR

05:46.932 --> 05:48.445
ANOTHER, WHETHER THEY COULD OR

05:48.478 --> 05:49.821
NOT, THEY’RE AFRAID OF WHAT THEY

05:49.832 --> 05:51.368
MIGHT FIND WHEN THEY CHECK UP ON

05:51.369 --> 05:52.043
THOSE HOUSES.

05:52.078 --> 05:53.231
OF COURSE, THIS IS A DEVELOPING

05:53.242 --> 05:54.818
SITUATION, AND WE’RE GOING TO BE

05:54.829 --> 05:55.810
HERE ALL DAY.

05:55.812 --> 05:58.011
BUT ALREADY ONE THAT HAS TURNED

05:58.012 --> 05:59.576
VERY GRIM, ANA, IS THIS

05:59.587 --> 06:02.537
COMMUNITY IS STILL IN THE VERY

06:02.571 --> 06:03.928
EARLY STAGES OF RECOVERING AND

06:03.930 --> 06:04.600
CLEANING UP.

06:04.611 --> 06:10.764
>> I IMAGINE THERE WILL BE MORE

06:10.775 --> 06:13.464
REVELATIONS OF HOW DUS TRUCKESTR

06:13.499 --> 06:15.053
THIS STORM IS AND HAS BEEN.

06:15.064 --> 06:16.541
THANK YOU TO THE RESCUERS FOR

06:16.575 --> 06:17.880
ALL OF THEIR EFFORTS TO SAVE

06:17.881 --> 06:19.636
PEOPLE, AND THEIR BELONGINGS,

06:19.647 --> 06:21.368
AND THEIR PETS AND BEYOND.

06:21.403 --> 06:22.830
THANK YOU, MARISSA.

06:22.831 --> 06:24.326
LET’S TURN TO METEOROLOGIST BILL

06:24.337 --> 06:25.572
KARINS WHO HAS BEEN TRACKING

06:25.583 --> 06:27.511
THIS MONSTER STORM.

06:27.522 --> 06:30.025
THIS IS A STORM THAT’S MOVED

06:30.027 --> 06:31.566
QUICKLY BUT OBVIOUSLY INCREDIBLY

06:31.567 --> 06:32.697
POWERFUL AND IS STILL WREAKING

06:32.708 --> 06:33.967
HAVOC IN THE U.S.

06:34.002 --> 06:34.790
WHERE ARE WE AT?

06:34.801 --> 06:36.447
>> I THINK IT WOULD SURPRISE A

06:36.458 --> 06:37.759
LOT OF PEOPLE TO LEARN THERE’S

06:37.793 --> 06:39.034
MORE PEOPLE WITHOUT POWER IN

06:39.045 --> 06:39.876
SOUTH CAROLINA RIGHT NOW THAN

06:39.887 --> 06:40.216
FLORIDA.

06:40.250 --> 06:41.490
AND FLORIDA IS WHERE IT MADE

06:41.501 --> 06:42.789
LANDFALL.

06:42.823 --> 06:45.725
THIS STORM HAS BEEN RACING

06:45.736 --> 06:46.652
THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT.

06:46.686 --> 06:47.362
UP THROUGH GEORGIA.

06:47.373 --> 06:48.621
A MILLION PEOPLE WITHOUT POWER.

06:48.622 --> 06:49.483
FLORIDA AND SOUTH CAROLINA AND

06:49.494 --> 06:50.949
GEORGIA.

06:50.984 --> 06:54.575
THE STORM ITSELF IS RACING IN

06:54.586 --> 06:56.616
THE MOUNTAINS OF NORTH CAROLINA.

06:56.651 --> 06:56.908
MOUNLT

06:56.919 --> 06:57.831
MOUNT MITCHELL, ONE OF THE

06:57.833 --> 06:59.171
HIGHEST POINTS IN THE EAST

06:59.182 --> 07:00.217
COAST, WIND GUSTS TO 108 MILES

07:00.219 --> 07:00.637
PER HOUR.

07:00.648 --> 07:02.152
OF COURSE THERE’S NO HOUSES OR

07:02.163 --> 07:04.704
STRUCTURES UP THERE, BUT STILL

07:04.739 --> 07:06.423
SHOWS YOU THE POWER OF THE

07:06.424 --> 07:06.682
STORM.

07:06.693 --> 07:07.379
AND THEY’VE ALSO REPORTED

07:07.390 --> 07:08.293
20 INCHES OF RAIN IN THE LAST

07:08.304 --> 07:09.273
COUPLE OF DAYS.

07:09.284 --> 07:10.677
THAT’S WHY WE HAVE THIS

07:10.712 --> 07:11.957
INCREDIBLE EMERGENCY GOING ON

07:11.958 --> 07:14.325
RIGHT NOW.

07:14.336 --> 07:16.784
EVERYWHERE YOU SEE THIS LIKE

07:16.785 --> 07:18.300
PINKISH COLOR FROM ASHEVILLE TO

07:18.301 --> 07:19.848
GREENVILLE, THIS IS WHAT WE CALL

07:19.859 --> 07:21.430
A FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY.

07:21.431 --> 07:23.136
THESE ARE ONLY ISSUED WHEN

07:23.170 --> 07:23.967
THERE’S LIFE THREATENING

07:23.978 --> 07:25.541
CONDITIONS GOING ON.

07:25.542 --> 07:27.425
WATER RESCUES TAKING PLACE.

07:27.436 --> 07:28.774
STREAMS AND RIVERS GOING THROUGH

07:28.785 --> 07:29.519
HOMES.

07:29.553 --> 07:31.283
THERE’S PEOPLE TRAPPED IN HOMES

07:31.294 --> 07:33.034
THEY CAN’T GET TO.

07:33.045 --> 07:34.725
THAT’S TAKING PLACE IN ALL THE

07:34.726 --> 07:35.788
AREAS, THE ATLANTA SUBURBS, AND

07:35.799 --> 07:36.648
THROUGHOUT THE MOUNTAINS OF

07:36.682 --> 07:37.537
NORTH CAROLINA.

07:37.548 --> 07:39.692
THIS IS A HORRIFIC DISASTER.

07:39.726 --> 07:41.248
THE ROADS, STRUCTURES ARE BEING

07:41.259 --> 07:42.106
WASHED OUT.

07:42.141 --> 07:43.773
NUMEROUS DAMS THAT ARE FAILING

07:43.784 --> 07:46.645
OR THEY’RE HAVING TO OPEN THE

07:46.646 --> 07:48.498
GAELTS AND RELEASE THE WATER,

07:48.500 --> 07:49.513
WHICH MEANS IT FLOODS

07:49.514 --> 07:49.816
DOWNSTREAM.

07:49.827 --> 07:51.192
THAT IS HAPPENING NOW THROUGH

07:51.227 --> 07:52.686
THIS REGION OF WESTERN NORTH

07:52.697 --> 07:53.483
CAROLINA.

07:53.485 --> 07:56.451
AS THE STORM MOVES NORTH, WE’RE

07:56.485 --> 07:58.380
GOING TENDON THEO END THE RAIN I

07:58.381 --> 07:58.716
AREAS.

07:58.727 --> 07:59.778
THE DAMAGE IS DONE.

07:59.789 --> 08:00.789
ALL THE WATER HAS TO COLLECT

08:00.800 --> 08:01.870
INTO THE RIVERS.

08:01.881 --> 08:04.020
IT’S GOING TO TAKE A DAY OR TWO

08:04.054 --> 08:04.985
FOR THE DAMAGE TO STOP

08:04.996 --> 08:05.460
OCCURRING.

08:05.471 --> 08:08.575
THEN WE’RE GOING TO WATCH

08:08.576 --> 08:10.299
TONIGHT, TOMORROW, ALL THE WRANR

08:10.301 --> 08:11.592
HEADS INTO AREAS OF TENNESSEE

08:11.603 --> 08:12.374
AND KENTUCKY.

08:12.375 --> 08:14.348
WE COULD PICK UP ISOLATED TOTALS

08:14.382 --> 08:16.199
OF 4 TO 6 INCHES, MOSTLY AROUND

08:16.210 --> 08:17.106
2 TO 4.

08:17.140 --> 08:18.427
WE HAVE TO WATCH FOR ISOLATED

08:18.438 --> 08:19.980
CASES OF FLOODING THERE.

08:19.982 --> 08:21.665
AND TORNADOES, WE HAVE A NASTY

08:21.699 --> 08:24.257
BAND OF STORMS THAT GOES FROM

08:24.268 --> 08:25.239
RALEIGH TO WILMINGTON.

08:25.273 --> 08:27.192
THAT’S GOING TO KICK TO THE

08:27.203 --> 08:28.132
NORTH, VIRGINIA BEACH AND

08:28.143 --> 08:29.643
NORFOLK LATER THIS AFTERNOON.

08:29.644 --> 08:30.876
WE COULD SEE ISOLATED TORNADOES.

08:30.911 --> 08:33.631
WE HAVE ONE TORNADO WARNING TO

08:33.642 --> 08:35.049
THE NORTH OF GREENSBORO.

08:35.050 --> 08:36.160
TORNADO WARNINGS HAVE BEEN

08:36.161 --> 08:37.127
DROPPED BY THE WILMINGTON AREA.

08:37.138 --> 08:38.405
WE HAVE TO WATCH THIS LINE

08:38.440 --> 08:39.894
THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

08:39.905 --> 08:41.418
THE STORM IS SLOWLY WEAKENING,

08:41.452 --> 08:42.973
ANA, BUT IT’S STILL CAUSING JUST

08:42.984 --> 08:43.975
A TON OF PROBLEMS.

08:43.977 --> 08:46.034
THE WATER ISSUES IN NORTH

08:46.045 --> 08:47.701
CAROLINA ARE HISTORIC.

08:47.712 --> 08:49.955
WATER IS HIGHER AND RUNNING

08:49.957 --> 08:51.380
FASTER THAN THEY HAVE EVER SEEN

08:51.414 --> 08:52.065
IN THAT AREA.

08:52.076 --> 08:54.385
>> AND WATER IS OFTEN THE

08:54.419 --> 08:56.185
BIGGEST THREAT WHEN IT COMES TO

08:56.186 --> 08:57.440
LIFE THREATENING CONDITIONS AND

08:57.451 --> 08:57.693
HURRICANES.

08:57.704 --> 09:00.660
BILL KARINS, THANK YOU.

09:00.695 --> 09:04.116

TURREY, THE ACTING DIRECTOR FOR

09:08.320 --> 09:08.883
THE FEMA.

09:08.894 --> 09:10.584
THIS WAS THE STRONGEST STORM TO

09:10.585 --> 09:11.548
HIT FLORIDA’S BIG BEND REGION.

09:11.550 --> 09:13.216
DO YOU HAVE A SENSE OF THE

09:13.227 --> 09:14.583
DAMAGE YET, AND JUST HOW

09:14.584 --> 09:16.181
WIDESPREAD IT WILL BE?

09:16.192 --> 09:17.728
>> YEAH, OBVIOUSLY A VERY

09:17.729 --> 09:20.388
SIGNIFICANT STORM, AND I THINK

09:20.399 --> 09:21.804
WE’RE SEEING AND EXPECTING THERE

09:21.839 --> 09:23.098
TO BE SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE

09:23.109 --> 09:24.438
THROUGHOUT FLORIDA IN THE BIG

09:24.439 --> 09:27.982
BEND REGION, AND EVEN GOING

09:27.983 --> 09:30.243
AROUND TO THE WESTERN COAST OF

09:30.254 --> 09:30.732
FLORIDA.

09:30.743 --> 09:32.386
SUCH A LARGE STORM, LARGE WIND

09:32.387 --> 09:33.880
FIELD IS GOING TO GENERATE A LOT

09:33.891 --> 09:35.576
OF STORM SURGE.

09:35.611 --> 09:37.449
WE EXPECT TO SEE DAMAGE

09:37.460 --> 09:38.777
THROUGHOUT FLORIDA AND AS YOUR

09:38.788 --> 09:40.028
REPORTER WAS MENTIONING THROUGH

09:40.039 --> 09:41.226
A NUMBER OF OTHER STATES.

09:41.227 --> 09:42.912
JUST IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THIS

09:42.913 --> 09:46.067
IS A VERY ACTIVE SITUATION.

09:46.078 --> 09:47.683
THERE ARE PORTIONS OF NORTH

09:47.685 --> 09:48.528
CAROLINA AND SOUTH CAROLINA

09:48.529 --> 09:49.963
STILL BEING IMPACTED AND RAIN TO

09:49.965 --> 09:52.169
COME IN TENNESSEE AND KENTUCKY.

09:52.180 --> 09:53.827
SO VERY LARGE STORMS.

09:53.838 --> 09:54.954
VARYING IMPACTS ACROSS MANY

09:54.955 --> 09:55.817
DIFFERENT STATES.

09:55.828 --> 09:58.109
THE FOCUS TODAY IS STILL KEEPING

09:58.111 --> 09:59.769
PEOPLE SAFE, CONDUCTING THOSE

09:59.803 --> 10:01.423
SEARCH AND RESCUE OPERATIONS TO

10:01.434 --> 10:04.500
MAKE SURE WE CAN HELP ANYONE WHO

10:04.502 --> 10:05.463
MAY POTENTIALLY NEED HELP.

10:05.464 --> 10:06.729
AS THE STORM CLEARS.

10:06.731 --> 10:08.052
AND THEN WE’LL MOVE ON TO

10:08.087 --> 10:09.407
GETTING A BETTER SENSE OF WHAT

10:09.409 --> 10:10.418
THE IMPACTS LOOK LIKE.

10:10.419 --> 10:12.793
>> YOU DEPLOY PEOPLE AND

10:12.804 --> 10:13.528
RESOURCES IN ADVANCE.

10:13.529 --> 10:14.722
WHAT KIND OF CHALLENGES ARE YOU

10:14.756 --> 10:16.937
FACING AT THE MOMENT?

10:16.948 --> 10:19.800
>> THE BIGGEST CONCERN IS IN

10:19.834 --> 10:21.360
DAYLIGHT CAME IN FLORIDA NOT TOO

10:21.371 --> 10:21.860
LONG AGO.

10:21.871 --> 10:23.845
GETTING OUT THERE, GETTING A

10:23.879 --> 10:26.024
SENSE OF WHAT IMPACTS WERE WITH

10:26.035 --> 10:27.628
STATE AND LOCAL OFFICIALS, WHERE

10:27.639 --> 10:29.476
WE KNOW EXACTLY TO REACT TO.

10:29.487 --> 10:30.651
WE PREPOSITIONED RESOURCES FROM

10:30.652 --> 10:31.945
FLORIDA ALL THE WAY UP TO NORTH

10:31.979 --> 10:32.626
CAROLINA.

10:32.637 --> 10:35.560
AND NOW WE COME TO THE POINT

10:35.571 --> 10:36.676
YOU’RE EMPLOYING THE RESOURCES,

10:36.710 --> 10:37.905
PUTTING THEM IN THE FIELD TO DO

10:37.907 --> 10:38.516
THEIR WORK.

10:38.527 --> 10:39.788
GETTING A SENSE OF WHERE TO SEND

10:39.789 --> 10:40.442
THEM.

10:40.453 --> 10:42.597
DOING THAT QUICKLY, MANAGING

10:42.608 --> 10:46.096
THOSE RESOURCES APPROPRIATELY,

10:46.107 --> 10:48.700
AND STILL MESSAGING THAT EVEN

10:48.734 --> 10:51.069
THOUGH IT’S DOWN TO A TROPICAL

10:51.080 --> 10:52.272
STORM AND THERE ARE HAZARDS

10:52.273 --> 10:52.644
HAPPENING.

10:52.678 --> 10:55.019
AND MAKING SURE PEOPLE TAKE THIS

10:55.020 --> 10:56.230
SERIOUSLY THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND

10:56.241 --> 10:56.569
TOMORROW.

10:56.580 --> 10:57.846
>> WE HAVE SEEN DEATHS REPORTED,

10:57.881 --> 10:59.041
THREE IN GEORGIA.

10:59.052 --> 11:01.164
ONE IN NORTH CAROLINA.

11:01.175 --> 11:02.828
AT LEAST TWO IN FLORIDA.

11:02.839 --> 11:04.170
AND OF COURSE THAT DEATH TOLL

11:04.171 --> 11:05.094
COULD STILL CLIMB.

11:05.105 --> 11:07.732
WHAT’S YOUR FEAR OVER THE NEXT

11:07.743 --> 11:09.900
24 HOURS WITH THIS STORM.

11:09.901 --> 11:12.765
>> OUR HEARTS GO OUT TO EVERYONE

11:12.799 --> 11:13.611
IMPACTED BY IT.

11:13.622 --> 11:14.858
WE NEVER WANT TO SEE LOSS OF

11:14.860 --> 11:15.208
LIFE.

11:15.243 --> 11:16.859
EVERYTHING WE’RE DOING WITH OUR

11:16.870 --> 11:19.099
PARTNERS IN ADVANCE IS TO

11:19.110 --> 11:21.568
MINIMIZE THE RISK TO FOLKS THAT

11:21.603 --> 11:23.472
ARE THEIN THE PATH.

11:23.483 --> 11:25.634
THAT’S AN IMPORTANT REMINDER TO

11:25.636 --> 11:28.097
MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE STILL DO

11:28.098 --> 11:29.674
WHAT THEY CAN TO STAY SAFE.

11:29.675 --> 11:32.374
MOST PEOPLE DON’T REALIZE A LOT

11:32.409 --> 11:33.491
OF TIMES INJURIES AND FATALITIES

11:33.502 --> 11:35.057
AFTER THE STORM ARE IN THE HOURS

11:35.091 --> 11:36.288
AFTER WALKING THROUGH FLOOD

11:36.299 --> 11:38.814
WATERS, DRIVING THROUGH FLOOD

11:38.816 --> 11:39.972
WATERS, DOWNED POWER LINES.

11:39.973 --> 11:41.460
USING A GENERATOR TOO CLOSE TO

11:41.494 --> 11:42.379
YOUR HOME.

11:42.390 --> 11:43.986
THE RISK IS NOT GONE.

11:43.987 --> 11:45.580
THAT’S THE ULTIMATE FOCUS IS TO

11:45.581 --> 11:46.544
KEEP EVERYONE SAFE.

11:46.545 --> 11:47.924
ONCE WE GET THROUGH THAT

11:47.959 --> 11:49.380
PORTION, WE’LL MOVE INTO AN

11:49.391 --> 11:50.783
ASSESSMENT PHASE WITH ALL OF OUR
