yeah well maintaining strength right now a pretty scary. i mean it just has to wall bill just a little close to the coastline and we're talking about hurricane force winds right there on the coast will show you how close but look at this. >>very intense infrared satellite image you can see the dark red, those are the strongest thunderstorms that are rotating around the core there and you see the eye of adoring getting more organized again as a smooth over some warm water of the gulf stream and pushing all that moisture getting closer to the coast. it looks like. well it's going to be close to landfall. according to some of the computer models want to bring it on shore. so here's the very latest you can see it right now you see the core that storm spinning around those rain bands already affecting parts of georgia, south carolina, some of those bands all the way up in north carolina right now. the core of the system still a little bit off the coastline, but not all that far away in fact that we're watching this very closely as it rotates around it is going to continue to bring those heavy bands of rain on shore. right now the eye of the storm really not that far away just about a 100 miles away a 102 the brunswick, right there,

hurricane force winds extend outward from this hurricane. a good 70 mile so you're looking at the difference right here million for all this on here you can see right from the core the center here are right there. that's how close it is little over 20 miles away from the coastline, so should the storm system was a bull and given 20 miles closer guess what we've got hurricane force winds. right on the coastline. flooding also is going to be a major concern wood door because the storm surge we're going to see some higher tides of being pumped up by that a very strong wind and that low pressure bringing those a storm surge conditions along the coastline. hurricane warnings up across all the way from jacksonville through parts of georgia all the way through south and north carolina right now as that storm system gets closer. you see those winds tropical storm force gusts have been picked up getting a little bit closer right now to 2930 plus miles per hour in charleston. some 21 not miles per hour in savannah. but those on shore winds. that's going to be the

problem that is going to cause a lot of that water to begin to pile up along the coastline, so many of the coastal rivers going to start to run into some problems here. here's the latest forecast for the storm surge as much as 5 to 8 foot storm surge there near myrtle beach we're going to see a possible landfall in that direction to watch the very latest track here as you see getting very close near myrtle beach with sustained winds of a 105 miles per hour near wilmington and morehead city possibly making landfall before head off in the middle of the atlantic and maybe nova scotia over the weekend. thank you lawrence. >>today, the jury in the ghost ship warehouse trial. requested a read back of testimony from an oakland first responder a person who made contact with go defended eric m in a at the warehouse 2 years before the massive fire that took the lives of 36 people kron four's haaziq madyun has the story. >>days of deliberating. jury to play though when the ghost ship fire trout since their first note to the port it is a
