LET'S GO DOWN SOUTH
TO WHERE
CLAIRE IS.
SHE WAS AT THE BEACH YESTERDAY.
WE JUST LOST HER AS WE WERE
ABOUT TO TOSS TO HER.
>> THE WIND IS STARTING TO PICK
UP IN THAT AREA.
I THINK WE HAVE CLEAR NOW.
LOOKS LIKE THE WIN
, TELL US
WHAT IS GOING ON WHERE YOU ARE.
>>
WE ARE GETTING HUGE GUSTS.
WE ARE TRAPPED WHERE WE ARE.
WE RISK TAKING ME LIVE TRUCK
OUT
ON THE STREET BECAUSE WE HAD WIN
THE GUSTS REPORTED OVER 100
MILES PER HOUR.
A LOT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT ARE
CALLING ME.
SOMEONE TRIED TO DRIVE TO CLOSE
TO THE OCEAN.
THE CAR WENT INTO THE WATER.
THOSE ARE THE THINGS WE WILL NOT
TRY TO DO.
SO FAR, SO GOOD IN VOLUSIA
COUNTY.
WE HAVE HEARD SOME
THINGS THAT
MAKE MY STOMACH TURN.
IN DAYTONA BEACH, THERE
IS
SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE.
ROOFS ARE PEELING BAC I DON'T
LIKE TO DO STUPID THINGS.
IT COMES AND GOES.
THE POLICE IN DAYTONA BEACH
,
THERE IS DAMAGE.
A LOT OF THE OVERHANG AT GAS
STATIONS ON A1A,
THAT CAME OFF
AND BLEW AWAY.
THE ROOF OF A HOTEL IS PEELING
BACK.
I IMAGINE THERE WILL BE
HOUSE
DAMAGE IN THAT AREA.
I CANNOT FATHOM THAT WE WILL
COME OUT OF THIS WITHOUT THAT.
SO FAR, NO INJURIES.
ALL OF MY FRIENDS OUT THERE ARE
WORRIED ABOUT THE PIER.
THEY HAVE LOST SOME OF THAT
MASSIVE PHISHING P OR.
60 FEET OF THE FISHING PAIR HAS
GONE DOWN IN THE WATER.
IT WILL BE A SIGNIFICANT THING
FOR EVERYONE FAMILIAR WITH IT.
I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THIS
IS REALLY NOT A GOOD TIME TO BE
OUT ON THE ROAD.
WE WOULD NOT RISK TRYING TO GET
DOWN I IS NEED TO GET OVER TO
BEECH STREET UNTIL THIS CALM SO
LITTLE BIT.
WE HAVE HEARD OF SOME FLOODING
IN THE PORT ORANGE AREA.
A LOT OF WATER THERE.
A FEW MINUTES AGO, THIS IS THE
CRAZY THING YOU ROLL YOUR EYES
AND GO REALLY.
WE HEARD OF A POSSIBLE DROWNING
IN THE RIVER.
IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT.
TWO PEOPLE WERE INTOXICATED
ACCORDING TO OFFICIALS, THEY
TRIED TO SWIM.
THAT WOULD HAVE PUT FIRST
RESPONDERS IN JEOPARDY.
IF YOU DON'T NEED TO GO NEAR THE
BEACH OR RIVER, THE RIVER IS
HIGH.
THOSE ARE THE CONDITION WE ARE
LOOKING AT.
THE GOOD NEWS IN THIS, A LOT OF
PEOPLE FELT -- WE ARE
SCARING
YOU YESTERDAY.
THERE WAS SOMETHING TO BE SCARED
OF.
IT IS STILL SCARY.
WE DODGED THE WORSE
BULLET.
FRIENDS IN ORMOND BEACH TELL ME
THERE IS ROOF DAMAGE AND
PROPERTY DAMAGE ALONG THE COAST
IN THE ORMOND AREA.
I CAN ASSURE YOU OF THE BEACH
EROSION, IT WILL BE SIGNIFICANT,
DESPITE THE FACT WE HAVE
TREMENDOUS REBUILDING OF BEACH
IN THE LAST 10 YEARS.
WE ARE GOING TO HAVE LOST A LOT
OF IT.
THE WATER, VERY HIGH.
MY COLLEAGUE
SPOKE WITH HIS
NEIGHBOR.
THEY LIVE ALONG THE INNER
COASTAL.
HIGH WATER IS COMING UP INTO THE
YARDS.
WE ARE JUST IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
NO ONE SHOULD RELAX AND THINK IT
IS OVER.
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE WITHOUT
POWER.
THE TRUCKS ARE JUST ACROSS
THE
STREET AT THE SPEEDWAY.
EVERYONE EXPECTED POWER OUTAGES.
EVERYONE EXPECTED YOU COULD LOSE
WATER.
WHAT WE DID NOT
ANTICIPATE, WHAT
PRAYED, WOULD NOT HAPPEN, WAS
LOSS OF LIFE.
THAT IS THE RAINBOW WITHIN THE
BODY OF THIS STORM.
AS SOON AS WE CAN G TO A
DIFFERENT LOCATION WE WILL SHOW
YOU.
I WANT T GIVE YOU THIS AS
QUICKLY AS I CAN.
IT IS NOT A SAFE THING TO DO.
IF YOU WANT TO SHARE ANYTHING,
WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE IT.
>>
YOU ARE MAKING ME NERVOUS,
GETTING BLOWN AROUND.
I WANT YOU TO STAND AGAINST THE
TREE AND HANG ON.
>> THEY SHAKE AND RATTLE
AND
ROLL UNDER THE BEST OF
CIRCUMSTANCES.
I AM SURE NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN.
WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO GO OFF
THE AIR ANYTIME SOON BECAUSE
FOLKS ARE ANXIOUS TO KNOW WHAT
IS GOING ON.
I AM GLAD BOB WAS ABLE TO GET TO
DELAND AND SHARE SOME THOUGHTS
THERE.
THEY ARE GETTING DAMAGE AS WELL.
SO FAR, THE STORM SURGE HAS NOT
PROVEN TO BE AS SIGNIFICANT AS
WE FIRST THOUGHT.
THE RIVER HAS COME UP BECAUSE OF
THE SURGE.
HIGH TIDE IS HAPPENING RIGHT
NOW.
BETWEEN NOON AND 1:00
, THIS IS
HIGH TIDE.
THIS IS WHEN THE WIND HAS BEEN
THE STRONGEST IN VOLUSIA AND
FLAGLER COUNTY.
THE STORM SURGE, I AM CONCERNED
ABOUT.
>> IT IS NOT OVER.
I AM DREADING GOING BACK.
BUT DESPERATE TO GO BACK.
FOLKS HAVE BEEN ASKING ME WHEN
CAN WE GO BACK, IT IS GOING TO
BE A WILD.
-- GOING TO BE A WHILE.
DOWN POWER LINES, IT WOULD NOT
BE SAFE.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU COULD
DRIVE INTO.
>> THE O THING I HAVE HEARD
FROM SO MANY PEOPLE ON FACEBOOK
AND TWITTER, THEY WANT YOU TO
CHECK ON DAVE ON THE BOAT LATER
TODAY ONCE YOU CAN GET OUT
THERE.
EVERYONE WANTS TO KNOW HOW DAVE
FARE DURING THE STORM.
>>
I A SURE HE IS GOING TO HAVE
A STORY TO TELL.
WE WILL CHECK ON HIM.
BE SAFE.
