slow moving hurricane dorian will continue to pound the bahamas tonight. i'm julie haener. >> i'm frank somerville. here's the latest radar picture. hurricane dorian has just been downgraded to a category 3 with winds up to 110 miles an hour. but it has come to a virtual standstill over the bahamas. in fact it has barely moved over the past 24 hours and still not clear where it will hit in the united states. >> nine counties in florida and several more in georgia and south carolina are under mandatory evacuation orders at this hour. >> fox news lauren blanchard is in daytona beach tonight. what's the situation like there tonight, lauren? >> reporter: well, good evening. julie, frank, here we have been noticing the temperature and the winds change a bit throughout the day. the winds are starting to gust a little bit more and the temperature has definitely dropped even hours ago. it did unusually so for florida at the beginning of september. here in daytona it is virtually a ghost town. people have gotten out of here

boarding up their businesses. there's really not anyone around because this area, officials have warned us here in volusia county while it may not make landfall here, the eye of the storm will only be about 30 to 40 miles off the coast, which had means we here will most likely get some of that  real devastating wind and rain over tomorrow afternoon and then going into wednesday. hurricane dorian strikes the bahamas, hitting the island with 12-foot storm surges and winds gusts topping 200 miles per hour. multiple people have died in the bahamas including a 7-year- old boy. >> we are in the midst of a historic tragedy. in parts of the northern bahamas. our mission and focus now is search and rescue and recovery. >> reporter: officials say they can't even begin to assess the

damage until the storm moves west. with the u.s. in its site, dorian is expected to at least hug the coast. prompting evacuation orders. >> we want to evacuate in blue skies. if you waited when it was raining and storming, people are living too long. >> and they are prepared to hunker down and get them all there. >> just in case you're out there for a while. >> some areas could get the storm surges. in addition to the destructive winds. many airports have already closed. adjusting their hour on tuesday to keep park goers safe in central florida. and here is the problem with dorian because it's moving so slowly. officials are warning people if you have decided to stay behind their evacuation zone, you better be prepared to the area

with that wind and rain, it means it could sit over the area and, of course, julie and frank, that's when we start to see the flooding and, of course, that could be very dangerous in itself. >> yeah, it sure can. lauren blanchard, thank you. ktvu's key coo meteorologist bill martin is tracking dorian's tracks, hitting the baa >> and i'm hearing stories. it is a, it has topography with the whole lots and just depends where you are as you're thinking about it. as you look at dorian here and i could put my finger on the eye wall there and you can see how it is just not moving, right? it's stuck there. that's six hours. and that is 24 hours that it will just sit there and i don't think that many people have.

120 miles sustained wednesdays. not moving right now. so as it sits there, that's why it's weakening. i mentioned this earlier and then the cooler water turns up into the system. but it will move and keep its strength. that's why the forecast is for the some to continue to be a cat three. this will be about water and storm surge and feet and wave as this skirts the east coast of the united states. and this is the consensus, not the consensus, but the general me line. you can pick the line between all the forecast models. they have all merged together and basically the path of this forecasted to take all the strong models.

nine people will remain unaccounted for tonight. the deadly fire broke out at 3:30 this morning while passengers on board for a holiday diving trip were likely asleep. the 75-foot boat was anchored about 20 yards off the santa cruz islands. and they reached it in the early morning hours. >> and more on tonight's developments. she kind of got sense, and they were not going to find ansurvivors. frank and julie, the santa barbara sheriff's office says the coroner is using dna now to identify the bodies recovered from the boat. it was a diving excursion with ties to santa cruz. >> reporter: the may day call in the middle of the night was

taken to the coast guard. 39 pob, personon board. no word if any explosion, but the coast guard said the caller told them the boat was already engulfed in flames at 3:30 a.m. the flames had spread throughout the 75-foot commercial had diving vessels named conception. most of the passengers, they will presume sleeping in bunks below deck. rescuers would rush to find the waters. the boat sank about 20 yards offshore. four bodies were pulled from the water and four others seen by divers near the wreckage. >> and now it's inverted on the seabed and approximately 62 feet of water. five crew members survived. on the nearby fishing boat. the great escape. and that boat's owner says the survivors explained they jumped onto an inflatable boat.

family members rushed to the dock. >> sees one of the survivors, going in here to talk to him right now. >> reporter: an ambulance at the pier took one man to the hospital and another survivor limped away with a bandage over his right ankle. on shore family and friends of the other crew member and 33 passengers, they waited for some word. hope of finding survivors fading. >> to be in a remote location and to have a fire that occurs and to have limited if any fire fighting capabilities that could address that and then to have a fire spread rapidly. >> reporter: the conception was owned by cruise aquatics. contracted by worldwide diving adventures for a labor day expedition, which left saturday. video posted on youtube shows the sleeping corridors below deck where the drivers were likely sleeping when the fire broke out. >> we will search all the way through the night and the morning and that we should all

be prepared to move in and to the worst outcome. >> reporter: among those apparently waiting for word tonight is brett haralin posted on facebook that his sister, christy, was leading the diving tour. christy's picture is listed as a guide on the worldwide diving adventure's website. she's resident of santa cruz along with her husband, dan, also a diver, but tonight the coast guard sate the currents were going wet and they wanted to get in west. they don't hold out a lot of hope. >> we don't know too much about either than that one woman was a part of the group or signed up for the holiday weekend dive trip, right? >> they do have a list, but right now they're going through trying to make sure the fake find. so they will be having another news conference at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow to give them some updates. >> jana, thank you.

all right, giants looking like not a big shot. two teams are going in different directions today for st. louis and the fading giants. the now division leading cardinals who have won 10 out of 12 no matter where you are in the standings. always a good time to take in a baseball game. the cardinals, they would jump on the starter for a couple of runs in the first inning. the cardinals also got a run in the third for the 3-0 lead. and the teams kept the game close with outstanding defense

in the sixth. he drove one to the gap in right center and harrison from center, fowler from the right converges on the ball. who has it? the answer is fowler. now the opposing pitcher, adam wainwright appreciates the play. and in the eighth, he hit a drive down the left field line to the state fair. career home run number had one. he will always remember even though the giants, they have lost six out of seven after dropping the next one 3-1. and nfl rosters, still being tweaked with the first week of the season. over the weekend they picked up

kizer after being cut by green bay. this is no reflexion derek, but they need to have guys ready to go out to play and we got good receivers, and then we've got a great group. we need to have a quarterback that could help everybody win. >> and the u.s. open tennis tournaments, still have a week to go and neither defending champs will be there in the end and they would retire in his match last fight. today it was belinda of switzerland against the defending champion in the fourth round match for the women. and he is in the far court. she'll win this point decisively. she wont first set 7-5. he was suffering from the cranky knee that limited her mobility. and the match point now.

puts osaka away with the match and wins the second set at 6-4. both defending champions eliminated before getting to the full-times. the men's tonight, rafael nadal in the far corner will get them going and nadal on the run. now take a look at the return for the winner to see it in slow motion and to truly appreciate it. it was equally enjoyed. by the guy in the stands by the name of tiger woods. cardinals with the early lead and then all notre dame after the first quarter. that's the quarterback on the quarterback draw from 11 yards out. the big tie putting them out in front and also two touchdowns as they would win 35-17. and that is a great story. he started the third game last year and the rest is history. >> good for him. >> the smaller guys could do it when they get a chance. >> see you later everyone. good night.
