EYE ON HURRICANE DORIAN AS IT
MAKES ITS WAY UP THE EAST COAST
OF THE UNITED STATES IT
CURRENTLY
IS IMPACTING. PARTS OF
NORTHEAST. FLORIDA, INCLUDING
DAYTONA BEACH AND THAT'S WHERE
WE FIND MICHAEL HSU OR WHO IS A
REPORTER FOR I
24 NEWS. MICHAEL THANKS FOR
JOINING US HERE TODAY AND
BREAKING DOWN WHAT YOU'RE
SAYING WHAT IS THE LATEST FROM
WHERE YOU ARE IN DAYTONA.

I'VE BEEN A DAYTONA BEACH
SPRING BREAK CAPITAL OF
AMERICA. IF YOU LOOK DOWN HERE
YOU SEE THE PIER THE FAMOUS
DAYTONA BEACH PIER. BUT YOU
KNOW IT'S IT'S NOT AS SERIOUS
HERE AS IT COULD THE FURTHER UP
NORTH IN FLORIDA WHAT WE'RE
SEEING
HERE NOW ARE THOSE OUTER BANDS
OF DORIAN THIS IS THE SOUTHWEST
SIDE OF THE STORM IS CREATING A
LOT OF RAIN A LOT OF WIND A
HIGH SURF THAT YOU CAN SEE
RIGHT HERE AND THAT
TON OF EROSION THIS BEACH.
LET ME JUST TO SHOW YOU GUYS UP
HERE IF WE COULD YOU'LL YOU'LL
SEE RIGHT HERE. THIS IS A
BEACH HOUR. THIS IS WHERE IT
COMES UP TO NOW WE DID THIS
BEFORE THIS IS ALL SAND THAT
HAS BEEN PUSHED UP BY
THE FORCES OF THE SURGE OF
DORIAN'S YOU CAN IMAGINE THIS
IS THE OUTSKIRTS OF A CATEGORY
2 STORM.
THE BEST THING TO DO TO PUT
THIS IN PERSPECTIVE IS TO THINK
ABOUT THAT CATEGORY 5 STORM
THAT WAS SITTING FOR
24 HOURS OVER THE BAHAMIAN
ARCHIPELAGO AND THAT'S IT
IT WAS A SERIOUS SERIOUS STORM
HERE YOU'RE SEEING THE OUTER
EFFECT IT'S GOING TO GO ON HERE
FOR A WHILE BUT
THE STORMS MAKING A TRAJECTORY
UP THE EASTERN SEABOARD AND IT
COULD MAKE LANDFALL
IN NORTH CAROLINA COULD MAKE IT
EARLIER IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
THIS IS A STORM THAT IS OUT AT
SEA HERE. BUT IT'S
COMING IN A NORTHWESTERLY MOVE
AND THAT'S GOING TOWARD THE US
COASTLINE, A LITTLE FURTHER
NORTH OF WHERE WE ARE
RIGHT HOPE.

YOU'RE OKAY AND ALSO
SAFE IN YOU KNOW YOU SORT OF
OUTLINED IN THE EXAMPLE HERE
WITH THE SHOWERS JUST HOW BAD
IT COULD HAVE BEEN HOW BAD
COULD IT BE AS IT HEADS TOWARD
THE
>> YEAH THAT THAT'S THAT'S
EXACTLY RIGHT AND THE CAROLINAS
ARE PREPARING FOR THIS I THINK
IT'S IMPORTANT TO TO
OUTLINE THIS IS FLORIDA DID A
TON OF PREPARATION, THEY
SORT OF DODGED A BULLET THUS
FAR AND CAROLINAS ARE DOING THE
SAME THING IN THE HOPES THAT
THE STORM DOES WHAT IT DID HERE
IN FLORIDA TO
THEM BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S
COMING A LITTLE CLOSER TO LAND
THERE ALL OF THE ASSETS OF BEEN
PUT IN PLACE BY THE STATES OF
EMERGENCY IN GEORGIA,
SOUTH CAROLINA AND NORTH
CAROLINA AND THE CITY OF
CHARLESTON SAVANNAH THEY'RE
DOING CONTRAFLOW ON ALL THE
ROADS THAT ARE GOING IN AND OUT
OF THOSE CITIES SO THAT THEY
GET EVERYBODY OUT OF THERE
AS QUICKLY AS THEY POSSIBLY CAN
THERE'S NO WAY YOU CAN GET TO
SUNDAY UNLESS YOU'RE
AN EMERGENCY VEHICLE PERHAPS IF
YOU'RE WITH THE MEDIA BUT FOR
THE MOST PART EVERYBODY IS
MOVING OFF OF THOSE OUTER
ISLANDS, ESPECIALLY THE BARRIER
ISLANDS IN NORTH A LINE DOCK
THAT SORT OF AREA RIGHT THERE.
THOSE ARE THE PLACES THAT
PEOPLE ARE
MOST CONCERNED.
>> BUT NOW, AND MY GUYS FINALLY
AS WELL WHILE WE HAVE YOU
WHAT'S THE LATEST ON THE
RECOVERY EFFORTS IN THE
BAHAMAS.
>> YEAH, YOU KNOW IT'S IT'S
IMPORTANT TO TO REALIZE THAT
THAT'S GOING TO BE THE LEGACY
THUS FAR OF THIS STORM IS THE
RESCUE THAT'S GOING GO ON THERE
THOSE PLACES HAVE BEEN
DECIMATED IN THE PROBLEM
THEY'RE HAVING
RIGHT NOW IS THE THERE'S NO
PLACE TO LAND AN AIRPLANE ON
THOSE ISLANDS RIGHT NOW EVEN A
SEAPLANE COMPANY THAT WE SPOKE
TO BILL FOR WE WENT ON AIR

GET SEAPLANES THEY'RE THEY'RE
HOPING TOMORROW TO BE ABLE TO
GET SOME SEAPLANES THERE TO BE
ABLE TO GO
ONTO A LANDING PITCH THERE TO
BRING SOME AID AND THOSE ARE
SMALLER PLANES OF THE BIGGER

EFFORTS THERE IT'S STILL SEARCH
AND RESCUE THEY'VE. THEY'VE
REPORTED OFFICIALLY 7 DEAD.

THEY'RE EXPECTING THE WORST
FROM SOME OF THE PLACES THAT
THEY JUST HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO
REACH THIS IS A CRISIS FOR NOW
AND IT'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF
REBUILDING FOR THE BAHAMAS FOR
