for some areas including jacksonville but we just heard an update that now charleston, south carolina, is of great concern. we got an update from president obama. here's what he said. >> while we've seen some significant damage in portions of south florida, i think the bigger concern at this point is not just hurricane force winds, but storm surge. many of you will remember hurricane sandy where initially people thought it doesn't look as bad as you thought and then suddenly, massive storm surge and a lot of people were severely affected. and so i just want to emphasize to everybody that this is still a really dangerous hurricane, that the potential for storm surge, flooding, loss of life and severe property damage continues to exist and people continue to need to follow the instructions of their local officials. >> you heard the president there emphasizing that areas are still very vulnerable including as we just heard minutes ago, dylan driers to talk about what's happening in charleston, south carolina. and we're hearing from preparations. governor nikki haley will speak. we just g

florida up through georgia and south carolina. the time is now to act. you don't want to just hope the problem away. >> as it moves up the coast, matthew is expected to be near or over the coast of georgia and south carolina by tomorrow. along with florida and south carolina, president obama declared a state of emergency in order for georgia six coastal counties affecting more than 1.5 million people. highways have been turned into one way roadways to speed up the evacuation and along the coast businesses and homes are being boarded up. georgia has not had a direct hit from a hurricane in more than a century. >>> in south carolina, utility crews are preparing for widespread power outages but with 8 to 14 inches of rain governor nikki haley is pleading with residents to get out while they can. >> i am begging you at this point to understand the seriousness of the storm, to understand that storm surges at those levels above ground, imagine the floor to the ceiling and you're talking about those types of storm surges. that is not something you want to get c

georgia and south carolina, listen very carefully. an update just in from the national hurricane center on where hurricane matthew is headed next and just how much damage it could bring. this category 3 storm is still moving up the east coast of florida. we have a first look now at some of the destruction from 120 mile per hour winds and drenching rain but the major concern right now according to everyone straight up to the president of the united states, life-threatening storm surge. we are talking seven to 11 feet of water. >> so it's the wind, the rain and the surge but it is also this with the storm. it's the time. it is moving for anyone in its path extremely slowly along the coast and up the coastline. what is concerning forecasters right now is that the storm could shift at a moment's notice west. a slight shift west means a whole lot more damage, a whole lot more people in the threat path. we are standing by for an update for governor nikki haley to give us the latest on how they're preparing, what she wants to see. she was ve

it's moving to the north the shield of that is moving through south carolina now and now edging into north carolina. and the storm had continue to pound them during the day as it movesin that general direction. the eye wall is moving there as you can see near charleston moving to charleston to hilton head and it's pivoting back in this direction as the storm moves north northeast. so it's going to make landfall here the first time it made landfall in the united states. and so there you can see the ribbon of rain and strong winds continuing to north carolina but the storm will slowly weakening with time going from a cat 2 storm down to a cat 1 storm later today and the heave year rains twisted dash heave year rain twaift -- a heave year rain twists off -- heavier rain twists offshore. we won't get the wind this weekend at all. we will have gustier winds on monday on columbus day out of the north. that storm will be way down here by then. so, that is the deal on matthew projection of still producing the storm surge of 4 to maybe as high as 7 to 9 feet but generally 4 to 6 fee in -- feet

rainfall the biggest rain in places like georgia and south carolina and maybe north carolina. these are projected numbers. just projected. but the 9.3 in savannah and 14.3 in fayetteville. because of the way the eye is situated and we are staying offshore the heaviest winds staying offshore. right now looks like this becomes a storm. more about the water than the wind. charlie, back to you. >> we will have full coverage of hurricane matthew coming up on "cbs this morning." and scott pelley will be with the team of correspondents throughout the south. our storm coverage continues right now on our streaming news network cbsn. this has been a cbs news special report. i'm charlie who runs a group home for 15 residents with cerebral palsy and had to evacuate all of them. >> we need this facility not to flood. this is their home. we don't need it to flood. we need things to remain intact. >> reporter: another concern as the hurricane churns up the coast is the threat of tornadoes. florida's governor has activated 3,500 national guard troops to >> reporter: i'm mark strassmann in day

hour winds staying off the coast of morning, looks like the storm moving offshore of georgia, south carolina as a category 2 hurricane, very similar to what we saw earlier this morning. the storm takes a turn to the south and east eventually weakening sunday morning with winds about 85 miles per hour and then by monday this could be a tropical storm in the open atlantic. we have to watch what it does then as we head into the middle of next work week. but in the meantime we are tracking our own threat for rain later today but because of a complel pretty cloudy. it's 69 degrees right now out at the airport. temperatures elsewhere, we have 68 in durham, 66 in lewis berg. i will track that chance for rain today and what matthew could potentially bring us coming up in your complete storm team forecast. >>> well as alyssa just said the southeast region off our state is seeing the biggest impact. jonathan rodriguez is there now we're here in oak island. conditions not too bad but they're definitely taking precautions. in fact oak island and south port, all under a state of emergency right now and t

kind of bending around the south carolina-north carolina coastline. then pivoting back to the south. as we get through the line here. what becomes more of a concern from this point out, obviously, we are still concerned with the hurricane-force winds along the coastline. also flooding rain and storm surge. that will likely be a six to nine-foot storm surge along the georgia coastline. up into portions of the south carolina coastline. that, combined with a lot of rain. trying to work its way back into the ocean here. of flooding along the coastline. that is why officials are still urging folks, you know, if they have evacuation orders along the coast in georgia and south carolina, heed them. do so at this point. we still have a long way to go with matthew. in the meantime, back on the farm, a good-looking day. 66 in boston right now, 73 in norwood. 71 in bedford. what a start. you know, we were a little on the cool side again today. with the sunshine getting to work, it has warmed up. and warmed up quickly. we are expecting to start off tomorrow, increa

south carolina. that's what we're going to be watching tonight. 110 miles per hour category 2 storm. it dropped five miles an hour. the categories have to start and end somewhere, but it's not that big a deal that it went from a 3 to a 2. as we go through the night tonight, it's headed towards savannah, then makes a right turn. how fast that right turn is will of course be critical. still over 100 miles an hour when it gets to south carolina. 90 miles per hour when it's passed charleston. then it makes that right turn. and then another right turn, and it's going around in a circle, but does not come up in our direction. like a typical hurricane would at this time of the year, come straight up. so that cold front that's coming through tomorrow is really going to save us. there really aren't any computer models that show anything else. coming to the east, then to the south. as unusual as that track is, there's a lot of computer models agreeing on that. maybe going to florida, maybe going to the bahamas

it's got a band of heavy rain, as you can see, right in here over much of south carolina and exiting much of georgia right now. it's heading for north carolina as well as that storm moves in that direction. so you can see the eyewall moving right onto the coastline now. that red area right there, that's the eyewall where the strongest wind, heaviest rain is occurring right now. so it's pushing onshore into near hilton head and the heavy rain extends all off to the northeast of that. here's the projection. they're still expecting a pretty good storm surge here from four to as much as nine feet. and the winds will be strong along the coast. it looks like with time this thing is going to bend around and move off like this. so rainfall in the next 24 or 48 hours looks like it could be prolific in some spots, six to eight inches down in here, causing fresh water flooding and a lolt of coastal flooding as well. our weather here indeed. we'll have sunshine, one more warm day after the fog burns off this morning. we'll have afternoon temperatures around 70 degrees. more weather in a few minut

we're probably going to see rain the next 36 hours as it traverses the south carolina and north carolina coastline. i want to move in here a little bit closer and show you what's going on. hilton head island right there, and this looks to be the eyewall. we're about ten miles or so away from the eyewall and at this point, it looks like this is continuing to move to the north, in fact, the official word from the hurricane center is it is moving to the north. we think we'll have the first landfall of the storm and we weren't sure we would have la d landfa landfall, but probably in the next couple hours. there are probably winds at 100-miles-an-hour. there's savannah, right here to tybe, island, it's about a 30 mile drive. these 1-mile-an-hour winds are going to push a lot more water up the savannah river and we've just been at high tide, and seen the high tide flowing out of the banks. it's not going to be able to come out with this wind coming in, so i think maybe into the next high tide cycle we're going to be seeing that flooding there. we're already in like the top five that we've seen

that's different than south carolina. i think that sounded like the governor is waiting for the 11:00 update before they make wide scale updates. >> we will be hearing in a few minutes from governor nikki haley in south carolina so we're going to hear from her shortly. >> we'll get that update. you were asking about the storm and intensity. it dropped down to a 3, barely a 3. the mountains of cuba interrupted it. now the flow is over the water. look at it. right there is the eye that has re-appeared. it's getting its act back together again. we think it could jump back up to a 4 again. they don't know whether they're going to get landfall. very difficult. northwest at 10 miles an hour it's at 115. this was the 5:00 a.m. forecast from the hurricane center. the next update 1:30, 1:45 from now. we think this past would rake the coast line with the western eye wall especially up towards the space coast, the melbourne area all the way up towards daytona beach, new smyrna, maybe even flagra county, too. what did change overnigh

or charleston, south carolina did, it will parallel the coastline. it has been hesitant to make landfall in the united states. never did that in florida. pass south east of wilmington, tomorrow to sunday morning. from there, it loops back to the south. it weakens significantly, you see the red line taking it back towards the bahamas, middle of tropical depression. not a repeat of what we are dealing with. there is the eye wall off shore. critical and the eye never made landfall. the wind stayed off shore. jacksonville and saint augustine getting out of the brunt of the rain and the wind. concern will be the storm surge because the storm has been childrening east of florida all day, shoving water ahead of itself water will get piled up leading to a storm surge possible between 6 feet and 9 feet. >>> waves come crashing right in, rising almost to the top of that glass. flooding has been a information concern, leaving homes, businesses and streets under water. alex is live with the impact of the storm. >> officials have urged people in northern florida

it's north overnight and perhaps try to land somewhere along the south carolina coastline. north of savannah, perhaps it is beaufort as well as charleston, somewhere in there tomorrow morning. strongest winds right at the coastline. anywhere between 70-80 miles. the storm surge. at one time, this was a category 4 storm. all of the water has been pushed ahead. even though the storm is downgraded, the going to end up along the georgia and south carolina coastline. the shape of the coastline is working against those folks, can you see here, trap of water. it doesn't have a place to go so there is the hurricane, notice the moisture streaming through carolina and the virginia's. this is the cool front. we talked about of this moisture and pull it u up. weekend forecast, pretty good. cool front slated to come through with clouds tomorrow afternoon and a few showers, at one time, i think the front would keep on moving. we'll hold clouds for everyon everyone. i do think a few showers are likely on the south shore. cape and even in metro boston, plan on a couple of showers, it is dr
