down the street getting ready to leave his home and he told me he was packing like he wasn't going to come back for a long, long time. >> for the folks there obviously scrambling to get out of harm's way do you know where they're evacuating to? a live look now at the dark sky over florida. again: the storm is toward >> reporter: a lot of people are leaving the state entirely, but that is not an option for a lot of folks. so the first step is to get away from the coast, get away from where we are and to go somewhere inland. others are making their way up to central florida and orlando and those parts, but that could be in the path of the storm as well, so that's not necessarily a safe place either, a tough choice. >> kenneth, thank you. let's take a live look now at, well, the sunset in florida. again the storm clouds are gathering there. it is tracking toward the southern part of the state. where it could slam miami this

weekend with a life threatening storm surge and major wind. hurricane irma battered the virgian islands. so let's look at those pictures out of st. thomas today where at least three people were killed. fierce winds ravaged buildings, damaged the only hospital on that island. ing the devastation left in the wake of hurric nearby the british virgian islands also hit hard. this drone video showing the devastation left in the wake of hurricane irma and you can see hundreds of buildings flattened there and we want to bring in our chief meteorologist paul deanno. paul, pictures like that provide a stark warning you lived in miami in this neighborhood in florida. what are these people facing? >> my house would be under that mandatory evacuation. it could be under 5 feet of water by sunday. this is the most significant threat to south florida since hurricane andrew which was almost 25 years ago. we're looking now at the storm moving through the turks and caicos heading towards the southeastern bahamas, so bearing down on florida within the next couple days. the turks and caicos are currently in the eye wall, so likely there are wind gusts in

excess of 170 miles per hour right now. let's talk more about the threat to south florida. almost every single computer forecast model represented by those individual lines calls for that turn to the right right into south florida, not before it, not after it and that has increased the likelihood that we will see hurricane force winds in the city of miami. it is now more likely than not a 53% chance that miami will see hurricane force winds. it's a major metropolitan area and it could be seeing winds that will cause significant damage and a storm surge of 10 to 13 feet. emergency crews from the bay area are heading out to florida to help. kpix5's katie nielsen reports they are no strangers to a hurricane zone. >> reporter: crews from california task force 4 are grabbing their gear and packing up again, this time for south florida, only two days after getting back from a deployment to texas for hurricane harvey. >> we refer to ourselves as a

process. it's basically the backbone. the grid is the backbone of a community. >> reporter: as soon as the crews here at the yard in hayward finish packing up their gear, they'll be going to davis. that's where they'll meet up with the other pg&e linemen who will all fly to florida tomorrow. katie nielsen, kpix5. about 20 airman from travis air force base are heading to st. croix to help victims of irma. they flew out this morning. the group includes medical personnel. they also plan to send medical equipment. the senate has passed a spending package that would send billions to the victims of hurricane harvey and hurricane irma, if necessary. the package includes about $15 billion in disaster relief. that's nearly double what president trump had requested. today's vote also extends the government's borrowing authority keeping federal agencies funded through december 8th. a similar vote in the house could happen tonight. republicans in congress still reeling from a white house meeting.

mr. trump made a deal on the debt ceiling with top democrat senator chuck schumer and congresswoman nancy pelosi. then hours later the president sent out a tweet about young immigrants that pelosi said she suggested. >> i said this is what i asked the president to do and boom, boom, boom, the tweet appeared. that was good. >> mr. trump wrote this morning for all of those daca that are concerned about your status during the six month period, you have nothing to worry about, no action. the president is ending daca with a delay that gives congress time to act. coming up at 6:00 bay area reaction to news that top democrats are now working with the president. steve bannon who lost his job as top white house advisor is now making a provocative claim about the catholic church. kpix5's devin fehely on why bannon says the church is weighing in on immigration. >> they need illegal aliens to fill the churches. it's obvious on the face of it.

>> reporter: in an interview with 60 minutes charlie rose is scheduled to air sunday, former white house chief strategist and conservative catholic steve bannon questioned his church's stance on immigration something he said it rooted in economics. >> they have an economic interest. they have an economic interest in unlimited immigration, unlimited illegal immigration. >> reporter: the u.s. conference of catholic bishops condemned this reprehensible and unacceptable president trump's decision to end daca, an obama era program protecting undocumented immigrants brought to the united states as churn. >> he can any he can -- children. >> he can think he can call himself a catholic, but he's no more catholic than my cat is. >> reporter: this priest says the church's commitment to immigrant issues is principled, not monetary and that bannon's criticism is misinformed. >> the life of the church is

really strongly focused on the poor, the lost, the disenfranchised and particularly the immigrants. so we are not getting money from that. we have nothing financially to gain. bannon is just factually wrong, but that's not a surprise. >> i totally respect the pope and i totally respect the catholic bishops and cardinals on doctrine. this is not about doctrine. this is about the sovereignty of the nation and in that regard you're just another guy with an opinion. >> you can see charlie rose's full interview with steve bannon this sunday on 60 minutes. chopper 5 over a developing story right now in oakland, a robbery and police chase resulting in a massive police presence near 880 and fruitvale. we're told it started with a robbery near the lake merritt b.a.r.t. station and ended up here at 29th and chapman. you can see a white sedan up over the sidewalk with its trunk popped and front tire shredded. police responded on the ground and on a rooftop searching for

like getting some fresh air after being cooped up in your cubicle all morning long. just the kind of thing you want to smell on your break, right? the stench on trimble road between first street and junction avenue is mostly bearable, but at times it's enough to make you gag. for the regulars who have to walk this 2/3-mile section you can lose your appetite on the way to lunch. >> just nothing but horrible stench. it smells like an out house. >> reporter: they told us to sniff around the storm runoff drains and manhole covers. sure enough, the smell was especially bad here. >> it's gross sewage. >> reporter: several large sewer pipes converge in the area and the smell has been this way for a long time. different agencies are looking into ways to reduce the stench. >> other than the smell as well it couldn't be healthy, i don't know, inhaling like fumes of god knows what. somebody definitely has got to

do something about it. >> reporter: so the public works department has another unscientific theory as to why they're getting more odor complaints out here. during hot weather you get a lot of people driving through this section with their windows rolled up and the ac blasting, but once the temperature cools off you get everybody walking to lunch again and that's when you get a lot of the odor complaints, especially this time of year. there is still no sign of a mountain lion that was possibly hit by a driver in santa rosa. last night a driver told police that they may have hit the animal near montecito meadow drive and shanahi road. officers searched the area and couldn't find anything. less than 24 hours before that car crash a mountain lion was spotted less than a mile away, unclear if it's the same animal. officers were unable to find the big cat. investigators were trying to figure out what sparked a
