welcome to our view erosion in the united states and around the world. this is "early start". i'm arlaura jarrett. >> i'm christine romans. it's 5:00 a.m. in new york. there is danger in gulf this morning. national hurricane center in a special advisory overnight warns historic and life threatening flooding from hurricane sally. the storm restrengthened overnight churning a painfully slow path towards the coast.

now the category set by the wind look that's not what matters it's sally's speed, two miles per hour. it means the rough conditions will last for days. >> 10 to 20 inches of rain is expected across mississippi, alabama and the florida panhandle with rainfall of 30 inches. 30 inches in some areas. landfall is execute later this morning even before that happens, those the storm has already brought flooding and storm surges to several coastal communities. thousands have evacuated. more than 260,000 customers are already without power. >> 18 inches of rain already falling in pensacola, florida. that's before landfall. 18 inches. florida's national guard activating 175 members to prepare for search-and-rescue operations to come. water has been shut off in pe a pensacola beach because of a water main break. they can't repair that right now. cnn has reporters across the

gulf. let's begin with gary tuckman. >> reporter: pensacola beach, florida is a beautiful place for people who live here and a beautiful place for vacationers but not today. this is the hurricane that will never come to an end. it's been torrentially raining here for 14 hours. started 2:00 central time yesterday. it continues as we speak. no end yet in sight. we're in northeast eyewall now of this hurricane and we're about a five minute walk away from the gulf of mexico, from the beach. but it's been pretty difficult. i can tell you we took a ride last night. throughout the barrier islands, and there's an extensive flooding. there's been a lot more rain since we took that right. right now it's too dangerous to ride around. there's been a water main break here. a lot of water coming from the sky but no water from the faucets. for the 4,000 people who live

here year round and vacationers water has been turned off. what's different about the hurricane from three weeks ago in western louisiana, that was 140 mile-per-hour winds. right now the wind of this hurricane are at 105 miles per hour. so that is a very good thing. that the winds aren't as strong. as you said the rains are torrential. there could be more than two feet of rain here in pensacola beach, the most western county in state of florida by the time this is all over and not supposed to end until later tonight. back to you. stay safe. lots of rain already whipping parts of alabama before the worst of the hurricane even hits. look at this before and after view of a pier in city of gulf shores. what it looked like a week ago on the left of your screen and on the right yesterday, a full day before landfall. polo sandoval is live for us in

mobile, alabama. it looks like you're already getting whipped around a little bit out there. what your seeing this morning? >> reporter: just to put things in perspective we've been out here foreclose to ten hours and since we've been here seems mother nature has been slowly but steadily turning that wind dial because the conditions that we're seeing here certainly deteriorating especially when you hear from the local national weather service especially looking over the mobile river. this empties in to mobile bay which empties into the gulf of mexico. that storm surge could prevent much of this rainfall from draining out there however the forecast for that storm surge overnight did drop considerably. nonetheless the threat remains. national weather service office here in mobile issued a flash flood emergency. for a region that's closer to where our colleague gary tuckman is and that according to local meteorologists is exceedingly rare, only issued when there's a threat to life.

that's affecting about 170,000 people, potentially hospitals and since the emergency they are coming from local officials here, if people haven't done so already, didn't do it last night or overnight is to get to higher ground. as you pointed out, yes the within we're feeling a bit wind whipped here in this part of alabama but the rain event, this stubborn storm that won't go away seems to be real threat, a real threat of flooding. back to you. >> get to higher ground and hunker down. we'll check back with you later this morning. even as hurricane sally heads inland flash flooding is forecast for georgia and the carolinas later this week. cnn meteorologist chad myers is tracking sally's path today and for the rest of the week. you heard gary tuckman say this is the hurricane that just won't go way. >> it really is over pensacola, orange beach own points east.

the eyewall moved over gulf shores about 20 minutes, waiting for the center to make landfall. that's what landfall means. landfall means when the center of the eye crosses. we already know the worst of this hurricane is onshore right now. and the flooding has been with flash flood emergencies all the way from dauphin island across the bay, into alabama proper and to gulf shores and into pensacola and florida. here's where the florida panhandle starts right here. we've already seen some spots with over 20 inches of rain plus the surge coming in with all of that water getting pushed onshore. that's the saltwater flooding. they are combining now. we heard from one of our storm chasers he's out there all time. cars are actually floating around because there's so much water. under some of these buildings. another reporter reporting the same thing cars are floating because there's water one these condos that people put here on

the beach. this is going a significant beech erosion problem and a flash flooding problem but right now the wind is the problem. some gusts over 115 miles per hour. the big change, if it's a big change at 5:00 is that it's moving north-northeast at three, three miles per hour. so not two. he we moved that up by 50%. it is still going to the to move very slowly over alabama into georgia and eventually even into the carolinas. we'll spread that six to ten inches of rainfall in places that can't handle it. it's not getting into the ocean quick enough and rising in those beach communities. we have a real problem. this is almost as strong as ivan was in some spots when it comes to wind here. aircraft reconnaissance seen wind speeds at 115 knots which is about 115 miles per hour at the surface if the wind gets down the surface. the aircraft are flying at about

10,000 feet. significant flooding going on today and going to be continuing for later on this afternoon as this is now the category 2, almost category 3 hurricane making landfall really the center would be gulf shores. the worst of a hurricane is always east of the eye landfall. we're watching that. it's a very nasty day and afternoon for most these here. right now morning is the most dangerous. things are flying around. >> everyone be careful out there. chad, keep watching it for us. thank you. experts predaktd historic hurricane season fueled in part by climate change and boy were they right. this morning there are five tropical cyclones in atlantic ocean all at the same time. that's only happened once before nearly five decades ago. the season has been so active there's only one name left on the list of 2020 hurricanes, wilfred. once those names are used the greek alphabet is used next something that's only been done

once before in 2005. >> we heard the worst part of the storm made landfall along the gulf coast, a category 2 hurricane with three mile-per-hour winds a dangerous, dangerous situation along the gulf coast this morning. you're clearly someone who takes care of yourself. so when it comes to screening for colon cancer, don't wait. because when caught early, it's more treatable. i'm cologuard. i'm noninvasive and detect altered dna in your stool to find 92% of colon cancers even in early stages. tell me more. it's for people 45 plus at average risk for colon cancer, not high risk. false positive and negative results may occur. ask your prescriber if cologuard is right for you. i'm on it. that's a step in the right direction.

pennsylvania. >> why would you downplay a pandemic that is known to disproportionately harm low-income families in minority communities. >> yeah. well i didn't downplay it. i actually in many ways i upplayed it in terms of action. >> the coronavirus will just disappear like a miracle is not upplaying this virus. repeatedly implying covid isn't as serious as the flu or saying without any evidence at all that it will just get better when the weather turns warmer. that's not upplaying it. in fact at that very same town hall last night he down played it once again. listen. >> there are a lot of people think that masks are not good and a lot of people as an example -- >> who are those people. >> i'll tell who you those people are. waiters. they come over and serve you. the mask is over and touching it and then touching the plate and that can't be good. >> the president also told voters he will protect people

with pre-existing conditions even as his administration tries to dismantle the affordable care act in court. his long promised alternative to obamacare has yet to materialize. a million more americans lacked health insurance last year and that was before the pandemic. >> this morning the first real sign of a post-labor day spike in coronavirus, seven day average of new cases curving sharply upward. first time that's happened three stagt days since july 25th near the peak. 1422 more deaths are reported in the u.s. yesterday. that's one american death a minute and the highest total in more than a month. >> testing has dropped over the last week. less testing means more people who may have the virus are not isolating because they don't know they have it. the rate of positive tests is also creeping up at the same time. now president trump loves to talk about low u.s. numbers but look at all these countries. all of them have lower positive

test rates than the u.s. which is at 8%. as more states re-open the world health organization says countries need to set priorities if they want to keep transmission down. >> what is more important our children back in school or the nightclubs and bars open? i think these are decisions we have to make coming in to the winter months. these are trade offs. no easy answers. unfortunately some sometimes when you do this you can't do the other thing. >> schools still struggling to keep this virus one control. university of missouri expelling two students and suspending three more for violating the school's virus restrictions. the university of colorado bowled certificate moving to a 14 day quarantine period for students who live in city. schools in new york city are supposed to re-open to 1.1 million students monday, but teachers will have to prepare lesson plans for both in person

and online. roughly 40% of students have opted for remote learning. >> authorities in new york are beginning to handout $50 fines for unmasked transit ride perps the mayor of boston said the city is continuing outdoor dining through december 1st but a lot of people won't want to eat outdoors in new england in the cold weather and 2020 world series is said to make modern-day history with neutral site games at the home of the texas rangers holding all games in one place means less travel and easier containment of this virus. first neutral site world series since the 1940s. >> the magazine "scientific american" is endorsing joe biden. the publications first endorsement in its 175 year history. the magazine's editors writing the evidence and science show that donald trump has badly damaged the u.s. and its people because he rejects evidence in science. the writers go on the describe the president's response to the coronavirus pandemic as dishonest and inept.

>> rain could bring relief to thousands of firefighters battling wildfires devastating the west coast. at least 34 people have now died. two of the victims found near the burned home in bear creek in california. they packed and ready to leave but changed their mind and stayed based on false information on containment of the fires. people are posting misinformation about the fires online. in oregon at least eight people are dead and 22 more are missing. authorities are so fearful there will be more deaths they set up a mobile morgue there. in oregon a man has been arrested after admitting he set a brush fire along a highway after he was released from jail. police say he set six more fires. >> right at this moment we got the worse eyewall of this hurricane category 2 hurricane crushing the gulf coast. we have a live report next. tter? unlike ordinary memory supplements... neuriva has clinically proven ingredients that fuel 5 indicators of brain performance.

. welcome back. we're getting live pictures this morning from gulf shores, alabama. hurricane sally lashing the gulf coast with high winds before it even makes landfall. sally's crawl is the major concern at just two miles per hour. most people walk faster. in other words it will be a long few days. some states could get 10 to 20 inches of rain, isolated areas could see 30 inches of rain. thousands of people have evacuated already. now up to at least 315,000 customers without power. we got more coming up live from the gulf in just a few minutes. >> president trump often uses wall street's gains as his personal scorecard cheerleading

what he calls a super v recovery as millions of americans are still out of work and pandemic anxiety is widespread across the country. during last night's abc town hall the president disputed the argument that it's more of a k-shaped recovery, widening the gap between winners and losers. >> stocks are owned by everybody. you know, they talk about the stock market is so good that's 401(k)s. i'm meeting people with, as long as they didn't sell when the market went down when we first realized the extent of this came horrible thing from china. some people are doing better than they were doing before pandemic came. >> some doing better than before the pandemic began. he has a fixation on the stock market. data from pew research shows half of american families have investment in the stock market mostly through retirement accounts.

14% of that group invest in individual stocks. the great majority is controlled by top earnings families and wealth holder in this country. the stock market not the economy. there's a health and jobs crisis on main street, emergency stimulus has run out and a new stimulus deal is most likely on hold until after the election. >> someone has to be telling him that not everybody owns stocks. this is not a barometer for the health of the country right now. >> stock ownership has not recovered. people are trying to put food on the table. i wish more people owned stock during the rally. that would being a great for everyone. but the stock market is not the economy. >> not helping to pay rent. hurricane sally on track to make landfall this came morning but it doesn't have to make landfall to cause catastrophic damage already. officials warn of life threatening floods to come. cnn is live along the gulf coast

good morning. this is "early start". i'm christine romans. >> i'm laura jarrett. three minutes past the hour. we begin this half hour with danger in gulf coast this morning. the national hurricane center in a special advisory overnight warns of historic and life threatening flooding from hurricane sally. the storm restrengthening

overnight churning a painfully slow path towards the coast. the category is not what matters right now. it's sally's speed. three miles per hour which means the rough conditions will last for days. >> 10 to 20 inches of rain are expected across mississippi, alabama and the florida panhandle with rainfall of 30 inches possible in some areas. landfall is expected soon. possibly within the hour. even before that happens, the storm has already brought flooding and storm surges to several coastal communities. thousands have evacuated. more than 320,000 customers are already without power. >> 18 inches of rain already falling in pensacola, florida. remember this is all before landfall. florida's national guard activating 175 members to prepare search-and-rescue operations. water has also been shut off in pensacola beach because of a water main break that can't be fixed right now. cnn has reporters across the gulf with us this morning.

we begin with gary tuckman live in pensacola beach. gary we saw you last half hour getting whipped around. how is it looking? >> reporter: right now we have sustained winds of about 60 miles per hour but the gusts have been reported to be 83 miles per hour with just hurricane force. people here in pensacola beach are going to face shortly the very tip of the northeastern eyewall but won't get the benefit of the eye. it looks like it will pass to the west and that's bad because the eastern part of this hurricane, they will not get the break of the amazing cone wind that you experience when an eye crosses over you. despite the wind, the wind not the story. it's the historic catastrophic flooding. i can tell you that it has been torrentially raining since yesterday afternoon and hasn't stopped. the streets here in this resort barrier island are covered with

water. i should mention if you hear any southern and i'm keeping an eye open for it, pieces of roof and sheet metal moving around. this restaurant behind me a horticulture time ago ripped off and you see it flapping around. but it's the rain that's the issue. fortunately, from yesterday during daylight, after the sun went down to tonight we see nobody walking around. people are respecting this. they are taking shelter in their homes. we need to mention that typically during strong hurricanes there's lots of shelters. not lots of shelters or a mandatory evacuation order it's a voluntary order and that's because partially because of the covid pandemic. people don't want to be with a lot of people. what they are advising is seek a safe place in your house. everyone always wonders about the most important thing about storms like this and that's casualties. right now no reported casualties and it's too early because it's the still dark out. when it gets light out we'll see

the damage and start finding out if anybody has been hurt or killed. we hope not. back to you. >> glad to hear no one is out walking around out there in the middle of that. please stay safe out there. gulf shores, alabama lots of rain whipping parts of alabama before the worst of the storm is even there. look at this came before and after view of a pier at gulf shores. what it looked like a week ago on the left and on the right a full day before landfall. polo sandoval live for us in mobile, alabama. . you've been out there braving this for some ten and a half hours now. what's happening for you? >> reporter: yeah. by comparison the overnight hours were quite calm compared to what we've been seeing in the last couple of hours. we're going to be in eye of the

storm, making its way to land between where gary is and where we are overlooking the mobile river. this empties out into mobile bay and then goes to the gulf of mexico and this is a source of concern. when you have so much rain dumped on this area and continue to be dumped in this area a day ahead the concern was a storm surge with be nowhere for this water to go. what we're seeing now for the last couple of hours are certainly an intent siincrease winds. and the rain will continue to fall into the morning hours here. i should mention there was a flash flood emergency that was issued a short while ago for portion of the border between florida and alabama. that is fairly rare, according to local meteorologists here in mobile saying they only issue

that whenever they are seeing extreme threat to human life. so certainly, underscores the real threat here which is flooding and authorities have been telling people all night if you have not evacuated, specifically near the coastal regions in alabama and the panhandle of florida, then certainly something that may have to be considered if people find themselves in an emergency situation. >> polo sandoval, stay safe. thank you so much. even as hurricane sally heads flash flood flash flooding and substantial rainfall is forecast for georgia and north carolina. chad my serious tracking sally's path today and for the rest of the week. chad, it may seem fairly obvious but explain for our viewers just why this slow crawl of just three miles per hour is actually so dangerous. >> because when you're seeing the 85 mile-per-hour winds or in some spots almost 100 right now they last a longtime. so it's like having an ef-0,

ef-1 tornado over your house for 20 or 30 minutes rather than 20 or 30 seconds. also it's the rainfall that's coming down, a very heavy rate of rain right now. tropical rains probably three to four inches per hour and if you get that for four hours all of a sudden you're over a foot of rain rather quickly and it just can't go downhill quick enough. this is very flat land here. this is going to be with us for all day now. we're not seeing landfall yet. the eyewall is on land. but landfall means the middle of the eye has to cross over land. all these red boxes here are flash flood warnings from panama city, santa rosa all the way back. if we didn't mention your town i'm sorry but this entire panhandle from pensacola and back to about ocala is on shore within. along 30a getting very wet. not quite yet with rainfall.

there's the line of the center, maybe right like that would be the center of the eye right now and that center is not quite onshore but will comon shore very close to gulf shores. a lot of crews in gulf shores right now absolutely no wind whatsoever. completely calm. spontaneous cola just gusted to 86 miles per hour. you talk about the 20 inches that could come down. 18 to 20 has already come down west of destin. this is on land and in the same spots because that number north-northeast at three miles per hour as you mentioned is the slow lumbering of the storm system. a lot like harvey did to houston. when houston got 60 inches of rainfall because that thing sat there for days and days. this isn't days. . but enough hours, 24 hours maybe in some spots we can pile up that 30-inch rainfall that dr. ken talked about yesterday. 30 inches isn't out of the question if we're already at 20.

we have atlanta and southward and into the carolinas. different story in alabama and the carolinas. not that it's flash flooding because of storm surge but we have some mountains around and those mountains like to funnel the water down into creeks and rivers quickly. when that happens that's when those rivers and creeks rise quickly. flash flood expected here across these areas. you need to be in higher ground. this is a dangerous situation with those winds pouring on shore. the worse of any hurricane is the eastern part of the hurricane. not the western part where the wind are blowing offshore in biloxi. in fact, mobile bay has actually gone down with surge. unanimous verse surge because the wind is coming from the north blowing the water out of the bay. so that's taking away the surge possibility for mobile. but anywhere to the east of there, fair hope seeing an awful lot of rain, gulf shores, all the way along that 30 a category and 90 very, very heavy rainfall. you have to watch out if you're

anywhere near a creek or stream. this is a big flood event. >> for sure. chad thank you so much for breaking that down. experts have predicted a historic hurricane season fueled by clamt change and boy they were right on. they nailed it this year. this morning there are five tropical cyclones in atlantic ocean at the same time. that has only happened once before nearly five decades ago. now the season has been so active there's only one name left on the list of 2020 hurricanes, wilfred. once all those names are used then you go to the greek alphabet something that has only been done once before in 2005. >> we have much more on the hurricane coming up. tomorrow joe biden joins cnn for a special procedural town hall live with anderson cooper moderating at 8:00 p.m. only on cnn. so you're a small business,

or a big one. you were thriving, but then... oh. ah. okay. plan, pivot. how do you bounce back? you don't, you bounce forward, with serious and reliable internet. powered by the largest gig speed network in america. but is it secure? sure it's secure. and even if the power goes down, your connection doesn't.

so how do i do this? you don't do this. we do this, together. bounce forward, with comcast business.

some live pictures there from mobile, alabama where hurricane sally is hitting the gulf coast hard before it even makes landfall this morning. power outages increasing fast. now at least 330,000 customers in dark. sally's crawl is the major concern. three miles per hour means this gulf could be pummelled for days. some areas could get 10 to 20 inches of rain. thousands have evacuated and some coastal communities already dealing with serious flooding and storm surges. "new day" will have much more coming up live from the gulf in just few minutes. >> with the election 48 days away president trump dismissed questions of his handling of the pandemic last night when confronted fact that he told bob woodward on tape he's always wanted to play down the virus. here's how he answered an abc town hall question from one

undecided voter in pennsylvania. >> why would you downplay a pandemic that is known to disproportionately harm low-income families in minority communities? >> yeah. well i didn't downplay it. i actually in many ways i upplayed it in terms of action. >> saying that the coronavirus will just disappear like a miracle is not upplaying the virus. repeatedly implying covid isn't a serious as the flu or without any evidence saying it's going to just get better when the weather turns warmer. that's not upplaying this virus. in fact at that very same town hall last night the president once again down played it. listen to this. >> it will go away without the vaccine george but it will go away a lot of faster -- >> it will go away without the vaccine? >> sure over time. you'll develop herd mentality, it is going to be herd developed and that's going to happen. that will all happen. >> none of that has any support.

the president told voters he'll protect people with pre-existing conditions even as he tries to dismanhattanle the affordable care act in court. his alternative to obamacare has yet to materialize. a million more americans lacked health care insurance last year and that was before the pandemic hit. >> this morning the first real signs of a post-labor day spike in coronavirus. the seven day average of new cases curving sharply upward. first time that's happened three straight days since july 25th near the peak. 1422 more deaths were reported in u.s. yesterday. that's one american dying a minute. and the highest total in more than a month. >> testing has also dropped over the last week. we testing, of course, means people who may have the virus are not isolating even after all those labor day warnings. the rate of positive tests is also creeping up at the same time. now the president loves to falsely talk about low numbers in u.s., but look at all of

those other countries on your screen. all of them have lower positive test rates than the u.s. which is at 8%. all right. breaking news overnight damning results from an 18 month congressional probe into two fatal crashes of the boeing 737 max. they cite management errors by boeing and faa. it says there were missed opportunities to prevent 346 quote unnecessary deaths. >> also emails show during certification for the 737 max boeing tried to conceal the snangs of the automated system. that's blamed for pushing the nose down on those doomed flights. boeing said it incorporated feedback into its redesign of the plane. no comment yet from the faa on this. the 737 max fleet grounded since march 2019 is in final stages of testing before it can fly again. >> new developments on voting in three critical states. in ohio a judge ruling that counties can install multiple
