>> SURE. SCHOOL DANCE FOR
HELP. WITH US TO GO ROOM TO
ROOM, TO CONDUCT A SEARCH TO
MAKE SURE THAT THE PLACE HAS
BEEN EVACUATED. WE’RE IN THE
PROCESS OF FINISHING UP HERE.
WE JUST GOT NOTIFIED THAT WE
NOW NEED TO GO DOWN THE
PIRATE’S COVE, WHICH IS HALF A
MILE DOWN THE ROAD BECAUSE WE
HAVE TO START THE ROOMS THERE
BECAUSE BUILDING HAS ALSO BEEN
DECLARED STRUCTURALLY UNSAFE.
SO IN THE SURE ZONE, WE HAVE
12 HIGH RISES AND ONE HOTEL
THAT HAVE BEEN DECLARED
STRUCTURALLY UNSAFE.
>> OK, HOW MANY RESIDENTS
AREN’T? YOU HAVE AN ESTIMATE
OF HOW MANY RESIDENTS YOU
THINK ARE STILL AROUND AT THIS
POINT IN THIS BUILDING? THEY
WERE ABOUT 150 WHEN WE
STARTED. EVERYBODY.
VOLUNTARILY LEFT.
>> ANOTHER BUILDING UP THE
STREET HERE. ONE PERSON WANTED
TO REMAIN CAN’T FORCE THEM TO
LEAVE PIRATES COVE. NOT SURE
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING AT THAT WE
GET THEM THERE.
>> THIS IS THOUGH, BEYOND THE
MANDATORY EVACUATION. THIS IS
NOW YOU GUYS SAYING. YOU HAVE
TO LEAVE BECAUSE YOU’RE
BUILDING IT. SO IT’S A BIT
COULD COLLAPSE FLEET ACTUALLY
EXACTLY. AND AS AND THE LATER
IT GETS IN THE STORM AND ADD
MORE, THAT SURGE COMES IN.
>> THE GREATER RISK IT ONE OF
THESE BUILDINGS OR MORE THAN
ONE HAS THE POTENTIAL AND UP
IN THE
>> I YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO OF
NOW AND THEN YOU SAID IN ABOUT
9 MORE BUILDINGS WILL HAVE TO
STOP BY. ARE YOU GUYS LIKE
KIND OF DIVIDE AND CONQUER?
CONQUERING. WE HAVE THESE 2
BUILDINGS WHICH ARE MAKING
STORIES HIGH. EACH ONE.
>> WE ARE LIKE 99% CLEAR. NOW
WE’RE TAKING A TEAM THAT HAD
DONE THE PIRATE’S COVE BEGIN.
>> THE DOOR TO DOOR PROCESS.
THEY’RE OK. ALL RIGHT. WE’LL
LET YOU GET GOING. THANK YOU
SO MUCH FOR DOING THAT LAST I
SHE WILL. I WANT TO PULL YOU
GUYS OUT QUICK TO SHOW YOU
WHAT WE’VE BEEN WORKING WITH
HERE. SO IF WE WALK OUT, THIS
IS AGAIN, TWIN TOWERS BUILDING
ITS 19 STORIES, 2 OF THESE
BUILDINGS. AND WE LOOK UP.
THIS IS HOW TALL THESE
BUILDINGS ARE. AND THE
DEPUTIES WERE JUST GOING DOOR
TO DOOR KNOCKING TELLING
PEOPLE THEY’VE GOT TO LEAVE.
WE ACTUALLY ALSO JUST SPOKE TO
ONE OF THE RESIDENTS HERE AS
THEY WERE LEAVING. I THEM WHY
DID YOU GUYS NOT WANT TO
LEAVE? AND THEY SAID, WELL,
THEY SAID IT WAS A MANDATORY
EVACUATION AT FIRST MEMBER OF
THE BARRIER ISLANDS HERE IN
VOLUSIA COUNTY. THEY ARE UNDER
A MANDATORY EVACUATION. BUT
>> DEPUTIES AND POLICE SAID
WELL THAT WE CAN’T FORCE YOU
OUT OF YOUR HOMES. NOW WITH
THESE 11 PROPERTIES, THEY’RE
PUTTING THE RED TAG UP ON THE
DOOR SAYING THAT IT IS NOT
CONDEMN BUT TEAM AND
STRUCTURAL STRUCTURALLY
UNSAFE. SO THEY ARE NOW BEING
FORCED TO LEAVE. WE ALSO SPOKE
WITH THE DAYTONA BEACH SHORES,
POLICE CHIEF JUST A FEW
MINUTES AGO ABOUT THE OTHER
RESIDENTS HERE ON THE BARRIER
ISLAND IN THE RISK AND THEY
ARE RUNNING WILL GO AHEAD AND
SHOW YOU WHAT HE HAD TO SAY.
>> IF YOU’RE ON THE EAST SIDE
OF SOUTH ATLANTIC AVENUE,
THERE’S A VERY GOOD CHANCE
THAT YOU’RE GOING TO
EXPERIENCE SOME TYPE OF
STRUCTURAL COLLAPSE OF YOUR
PROPERTY THESE THE SURFACE
HUGE. THERE IS A TIDAL SURGE
AND IT’S BEATING ON IF YOU
DON’T HAVE A SEA WALL THAT’S
IN PLACE. IT’S BEATING ON THE
DUNES AND IT’S ENCROACHING ON
THESE PROPERTIES. YOU NEED TO
LEAVE NOW.
THESE PROPERTIES. YOU NEED TO
LEAVE NOW. in a different way? >> AGAIN, THE WHOLE THING THAT
HAS BEEN GOING ON HERE IS HER
PAIN AND CAME IN WASH AWAY ALL
OF THESE PROPERTY SEE WAS IT
IS RIGHT UP. I MEAN, INCHES TO
BEAT INCHES AWAY FROM THE
BUILDING. SO THEY ARE WORRIED
THAT THEY ARE GOING TO START
COLLAPSING ONCE THAT STRONG
STORM, CERTAIN STORM SURGE
REALLY STARTS COMING IN AND
WE’RE ALREADY DOWN. AND WILBUR
BY THE SEA TODAY. THERE’S A
COUPLE HOUSES THERE WHERE IT
IS JUST I MEAN, INCHES
CENTIMETERS. YOU ARE REALLY
STARTING TO SEE EARLIER. EVEN
TODAY IT START WASHING AWAY
THE AND WE’VE SEEN SOME OTHER
BUILDINGS ALREADY STARTING TO
COMPROMISE IN THIS AREA.
AGAIN, THEY HAVE ORDERED THAT
MANDATORY EVACUATION. THEY
WANTED EVERYONE TO OFF THIS
ISLAND BY 4 O’CLOCK. IT’S NOW
PAST THAT. SO THEY’RE NOW
GOING DOOR TO DOOR TELLING
THESE RESIDENTS YOU HAVE TO
GET OUT THESE AND SAVE
STRUCTURES. AND THEN THEY ALSO
HAVE THAT CURFEW HERE IN
VOLUSIA COUNTY TONIGHT. THEY
DO NOT WANT ANYBODY COMING
BEACHSIDE AFTER 07:00PM. SO
THAT IS GOING TO ALSO START
COMING IN. THESE DEPUTIES. I
HAVE A LOT OF WORK AHEAD OF
THEM TONIGHT. BACK TO YOU
GUYS. YEAH, IT WAS REALLY
GREAT THAT YOU’RE ABLE TO GET
SHERIFF CHITWOOD LIVE THERE TO
GIVE YOU AN ANSWER AS TO WHAT
THEY WERE ACTUALLY DOING. THE
CHIEF METEOROLOGIST TOM
SORRELLS SAYS WINDS TONIGHT
COULD BE 60 TO 70 MILES PER
HOUR.
>> WHAT ARE YOU EXPERIENCING
OUT THERE RIGHT NOW? MOLLY?
>> WHAT ARE YOU EXPERIENCING
OUT THERE RIGHT NOW? MOLLY? in a different way? >> WELL, RIGHT NOW WE’RE
BEHIND THE BUILDING. SO IT
DOESN’T LOOK LIKE IT’S TOO
WINDY. BUT ONCE WE GO AWAY, I
MEAN IT IT’S RIPPING AND IT IS
CAUSING THE WATER TO WASH UP
ON THESE DUNES. AND THAT IS
WHY WE’RE SEEING THEM JUST EAT
AWAY AT THE DUNES. AND IT IS
GETTING REALLY WINDY. AND ALSO
KEEP IN MIND THE AT 39 MILES
PER HOUR, THEY SHUT DOWN THE
CAUSEWAY. SO FOR THESE ARE A
LOT OF THESE RESIDENTS. IT’S
NOW GET OVER THE BEFORE I
UNTIL YOU CAN’T REALLY.
>> LISA: AND MOLLY, WE HEARD
THE SHERIFF SAY THAT THEY HAVE
NOW DEEMS 12 BUILDINGS AND ONE
HOTEL STRUCTURALLY UNSAFE. DO
WE KNOW WHAT BUILDING THAT ONE
PERSON IS IN WHO WAS JUST
REFUSING TO LEAVE HIM? BY THE
WAY, WE SHOULD ADD THAT THEY
CAN’T, EVEN THOUGH WE SAY
MANDATORY EVACUATION AND
THERE’S NO PENALTY, THEY CAN’T
LIKE ARREST THESE PEOPLE. THEY
HAVE THE RIGHT TO STAY THERE.
BUT I’M JUST CURIOUS. DO WE
KNOW WHERE THAT PERSON
ACTUALLY IS?
KNOW WHERE THAT PERSON
ACTUALLY IS? in a different way? >> I DON’T KNOW WHERE THAT IS
AND I WILL GO HEAD AND HE’S
STILL HERE ALL GO AHEAD AND
ASKING THAT A COUPLE SECONDS.
BUT I ALSO DO WANT TO ADD. BUT
BEFORE ALL THIS HAPPENED, THIS
IS JUST IN DAYTONA BEACH
SHORES ACROSS VOLUSIA COUNTY
ALONG THE COASTLINE. THERE IS
ANOTHER DOZEN BUILDINGS THAT
YESTERDAY THEY DEEM AT HIGH
RISK OF COLLAPSING. SO THERE
ARE EVEN MORE PROPERTIES IN
OTHER COMMUNITIES HERE IN
VOLUSIA COUNTY THAT EVENTUALLY
COULD BE GOING THROUGH THIS AS
WELL. WE OUT ON THE ROAD A
PIRATE’S COVE TO TELL THOSE
PEOPLE TO GET OUT. YEAH. ALL
THE THINGS WE KNOW YOU WANT TO
GO ASK THE SHERIFF THAT
QUESTION.
>> ASK HIM ABOUT WHAT THAT
PERSON SAID, WHAT THEIR
REASONING IS KUZ. I MEAN,
SHERIFF CHITWOOD IS A PRETTY
PERSUASIVE PERSON. AND IF HE’S
NOT GOING TO YOUR DOOR AND
TELLING YOU, YOU’VE GOT TO GO,
YOU WOULD THINK THEY WANT YOU.
AND THE LAST THING YOU WANT IS
TO HAVE A BUILDING COLLAPSE IN
THE DARK AND HAVE TO SEARCH
FOR PEOPLE. WELL, AND THE
THING IS THAT SEARCH WON’T
HAPPEN UNTIL IT IS SAFE FOR
LAW ENFORCEMENT AND SEARCH AND
RESCUE CREWS TO GO BACK OUT.
SO SADLY, WE HAVE SEEN IT
BEFORE. HOPEFULLY WE WON’T SEE
