>>> BREAKING NEWS, FOUR CHILDREN
HIT BY A CAR IN ORLANDO.
WHY THE WEATHER MAYBE TO BLAME.
HURRICANE HERMINE IN LAND FALL.
BRACING FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF
STRONG STORMS.
THOSE BANDS PUSHING IN RIGHT
NOW.
AND WE COULD BE IN FOR A LONG
NIGHT.
I'M MATT AUSTIN.
>> AND I'M LISA BELL.
WE ARE PINPOINTING HERMINE'S
PUSH FROM THE PANHANDLE TO THE
ATLANTIC COAST.
GO TO OUR TEAM OF REPORTERS IN
JUST A MOMENT.
WE BEGIN WITH CHIEF
METEOROLOGIST TOM SORRELLS
PINPOINTING THE LATEST PATH ON
OUR IMPACT.
>>> WE'VE HAD A VERY ROUGH
NIGHT.
WE HAD FIVE TORNADO WARNINGS.
ALL KINDS OF TREES WERE DOWN.
NO HOMES DAMAGED SO FAR.
AND HOPEFULLY NO ONE INJURED.
TAKE A LOOK TONIGHT.
SO CLOSE TO MAKING LAND FALL
RIGHT HERE.
WATCH HOW THIS EYE DEEPENED
DURING THE DAY TODAY STRAINED
ALL THE FEEDER BANDS IN OUR WAY.
ABOUT TO MAKE LAND FALL.
COMING UP IN THE NEXT COUPLE
HOURS HERE.
ALONG THE BIG BIN ZONE.
MAXIMUM SUSTAINING WINDS 80
MILES PER HOUR.
I'M KIND OF SHOCKED BY THAT.
I HAVE TO ADMIT.
WE GOT THIS THING UP TO 80 MILES
PER HOUR.
BY 8:00 P.M. TONIGHT, SO WE HAD
8-9-10-11 AND 3 MORE HOURS OF
OPEN WATER.
I REALLY THOUGHT IT MIGHT RAMP
UP A BIT MORE.
BUT IT APPEARS TO BE HOLDING ON.
THE PATH TOMORROW WILL TAKE IT
ALL THE WAY THROUGH GEORGIA.
WAY UP HERE TO SOUTH CAROLINA.
BY ABOUT 8 O'CLOCK TOMORROW
NIGHT, SPRING BIG RIB RAIN.
ALL THE WAY UP TO RALEI AND
DER AM AND PENINSULA.
TH TORNADO WATCH BOX WAS SHRUNK
WAY BACK.
WHAT YOU'RE SEEING UP HERE IN
FLAGGER IN COUNTY, THAT'S
TROPICAL STORM ADVISORY, BUT THE
SWATCH BOX INCLUDES MARION,
SUMTER COUNTIES, AND PUT NUMB
COUNTY AND EVERYONE TO THE
NORTH.
THAT'S BECAUSE THE BIG THREAT OF
THE TORNADOS HAS SHIFTED FROM
ALL ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA TO
WAY UP NORTH NOW THAT THE STORM
SYSTEM IS ABOUT TO MAKE LAND
FALL.
AND THE TWISTING WILL GO WITH
IT.
MUCH OF THE WIND WILL BE 25-30
MILES PER HOUR SUSTAIN WINDS AT
TIMES.
MOST OF THAT WILL BE
DIRECTIONAL.
GO IN ONE WAY.
NOT MUCH CHANGE FROM THE SURFACE
TO THE UPPER LEVEL OF THE
SPHERE.
SO FOR MOST OF YOU.
THE TORNADO THREAT SEEMS TO HAVE
ABATED.
THIS IS EXACTLY THE GOOD EXAMPLE
OF THAT.
NOTHING BUT LIGHT RAIN FALL
RIGHT NOW.
TO DAYTONA BEACH INTO FLAGLER
COUNTY.
RAIN COMING DOWN.
NOW IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE
SPRINGS, FROM SANFORD T APOPKA
TO DOWNTOWN ORLANDO, THE PARK,
WE'VE SLOWED THINGS DOWN.
THE NEXT BAND IS MAKING LAND
FALL RIGHT KNEW THOU ON THE GULF
COAST.
SOME OF THAT MOISTURE IS ALREADY
IN MARION COUNTY.
IT'S RAINING FROM RED I CAN TO
THE COUNTY LINE.
AND TO THE COUNTY TO GAINS ILL
HAVE.
AND ALL THE WAY DOWN TO DONE
ELLEN HERE IN THE CORNER.
IF YOU LOOK BACK OUT TO THE
WEST, IT DOES RAMP UP A BIT.
A BAND AND A BAND RIGHT HERE.
THE GOOD NEWSES IS THE SYSTEM IS
ABOUT TO MAKE LAND FALL IN THE
GULF OF MEXICO.
ALONG THE NORTH COAST OF THE
STATE OF FLORIDA.
SO ALONG THE PANHANDLE, ONCE IT
MAKES LAND FALL, ALL OF THAT
STUFF, THE BIG SHIFT WILL STREAK
TO THE NORTH TRAILING BEHIND.
HERE IS SAINT MARK'S AND RIGHT
HERE'S THE BIN, YOU CAN SEE IT'S
SO CLOSE.
WE HAVE RADAR LOCKED ON IT.
IT IS SO CLOSE TO BEING ON LAND.
GIVE IT ANOTHER HOUR TO HOUR AND
A HALF AND I THINK IT WILL BE ON
LAND.
AND WE'LL BE DONE WITH TRACKING
IT UNTIL WE START TO ADD UP OUR
RAIN TOTALS.
WE STILL HAV THE ABILITY TO PUT
IN ANOTHER INCH TO AN INCH AND A
HALF OF RAIN FOR SOME OF YOU.
BY 2:00 A.M., HEAVY RAIN INTO
MARION COUNTY.
I'LL BE BACK IN A FEW MINUTES
WITH A FULL FORECAST.
WE'LL TAKE YOU HOUR BY HOUR
TONIGHT AND TOMORROW.
>>> THANK YOU. AND BURYING THE
BRUNT OF HERMINE'S WRATH.
FLORIDA'S BIG BEND.
INCLUDING SHELL POINT BEACH.
NADEEN YANES HAS BEEN THERE ALL
NIGHT.
SHE JOINS US NOW ON THE PHONE.
WHAT ARE THE CONDITIONS LIKE
RIGHT NOW?
>> WE'RE TRYING TO GET A LIVE
SHOT FOR YOU GUYS AT 11:00 RIGHT
NOW.
BUT ABOUT 10:15, ALL OF A SUDDEN
I SEE A GARBAGE CAN FLOATING IN
FRONT OF ME AND I REALIZE WE HAD
FLOODING COMING IN PRETTY FAST.
THAT'S THE FIRST TIME PERSONALLY
I HAVE ENCOUNTERED WHAT PEOPLE
CALL STORM SURGE BECAUSE THAT
WATER WAS JUST SURGING IN.
WE TRIED TO GET TO HIGHER
GROUND.
THE WATER CAME UP TO ABOUT
3-4-FEET IN SOME PLACES. SO WE
HAVE NOW PARKED OUR SATELLITE
TRUCK IN IN SOME HIGHER GROUND
AND WE'RE WORKING ON GETTING A
LIVE SHOT FOR YOU GUYS.
REALLY SEVERE FLOODING. AND THE
RAIN STOPS.
THE WIND PICKED UP.
MUCH HIGHER THAN WE FELT ALL DAY
AT 7 O'CLOCK.
WE WERE LIVE.
I FELT LIKE I WAS BLOWING IN THE
WIND.
IT DOESN'T COMPARE TO WHAT WE'RE
FEELING NOW.
I'VE BEEN LOOKING ONLINE FOR
OUTAGES.
IT LOOKS LIKE THE ENTIRE
PANHANDLE IS HAVING POWER
OUTAGES AT THIS POINT.
REALLY, THE BIGGEST CONCERN FOR
US IS THE FLOODING AND STORM
SURGE.
AND I CHECKED AND IT DOESN'T
LOOK LIKE HIGH TIDE UNTIL 320.
WE HAVE A LONG NIGHT AHEAD OF
US.
WE'RE GOING TO WORK AS HARD AS
WE CAN TO BRI YOU THE LATEST.
>>> THAT STORM SURGE COULD GET A
LOT WORSE.
