WE BEGIN WITH FRANCINE.
THE SYSTEM HAS WEAKENED TO A
TROPICAL STORM BUT NOT BEFORE
SLAMMING LOUISIANA AS A
CATEGORY TWO HURRICANE
>> THIS STORM MADE LANDFALL
AROUND 5:00 ..M.

HOUR WINDS, HEAVY RAIN AND
WIDESPREAD FLOODING.
OVERNIGHT, A JEFFERSON COUNCIL
MEMBER SAID CANALS PUMPED INTO
THE REGION WERE OVERWHELMED AND
SOME SPOTS SEEING EIGHT INCHES
OF RAIN.
>>> TAKE A LOOK AT THIS, A
DRIVER IN NEW ORLEANS HAD TO BE
RESCUED BY A GOOD SAMARITAN
AFTER HE DROVE HIS TRUCK INTO
FLOODWATERS.
YOU CAN SEE HIM PULL THE MAN
OUT OF HIS TRUCK AND OVER TO
NEARBY POLICE AND FIREFIGHTERS.
THAT GOOD SAMARITAN TOLD OUR
AFFILIATE THAT HE HAS A
BACKGROUND AS AN ER NURSE ENDED
HELPED HIM STAY CALM.
>>> THE LATEST TRACK AND THE
BIGGEST PROBLEMS FACING FIRST
RESPONDERS.
JESSE KIRSCH IN NEW ORLEANS,
WHAT ARE YOU SEEING THIS
MORNING?
>> Reporter: RIGHT BEHIND US IS
A SECTION OF ROADWAY THAT IS AT
LEAST PARTIALLY FLOODED.
WE HAVE SEEN CARS DRIVING
THROUGH IT SO IT DOES NOT
APPEAR TO BE THAT DEEP BUT I
CAN TELL YOU THAT WE SAW THE
WATER AND IMMEDIATELY PUMPED
THE BRAKES AND PULLED OVER TO
THE SIDE AND CAME AROUND THE
OTHER WAY TO MEET OUR TEAM
BECAUSE YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE
GOING THROUGH FLOODWATERS.
THERE ARE TIMES THAT THE WATER
CAN BE A LOT DEEPER THAN YOU
THINK WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING IN
TO IT. THAT IS THE SCENE OVER
HERE IN THIS PART OF THE CITY.
NEW ORLEANS SEEMS TO BE DOING
OKAY.
THERE ARE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF
POWER OUTAGES REPORTED AT LAST
CHECK IN THIS AREA, IN THIS
PARISH IN LOUISIANA AND OTHER
AREAS THAT ARE MUCH HARDER HIT
IN TERMS OF THE POWER OUTAGES.
IN THIS AREA, I CAN SEE LIGHTS
ON, ON SOMEONE'S PORCH.
THIS AREA SEEMS TO HAVE POWER.
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE
ACROSS THE STATE ARE WITHOUT
POWER AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT
IT IS RELATIVELY COOL OUT,
RIGHT NOW.
KIND OF HUMID, IT CAN GET
PRETTY HUMID IN THIS PART OF
THE COUNTRY AND EVEN YESTERDAY
DURING THE DAY, YOU COULD JUST
FEEL THIS HUMIDITY.
WE ARE NOT FEELING THAT, RIGHT
NOW.
THERE IS A LIGHT BREEZE GOING
THROUGH AND I SAY THAT FOR
THOSE WHO DO NOT HAVE POWER, IF
YOU ARE TRYING TO GET SOME
RELIEF FROM CONDITIONS HERE,
THOSE PEOPLE HOPEFULLY WILL BE
DOING OKAY RELATIVE TO WHAT IT
COULD BE IF THERE WAS A A LOT
HARDER RIGHT NOW.
YOU GET THE SIGN OUT AND THAT
COULD CHANGE IT WE WILL BE
KEEPING AN EYE OUT FOR THAT, AS
WELL.
WE HAVE CARS MOVING THROUGH SO
ALL OF THESE PEOPLE GOING
THROUGH THOSE FLOODWATERS.
IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE TO DEEP --
TOO DEEP AND AS WE CONTINUE TO
SEE WHAT IMPACT THIS STORM HAS
HAD, I CAN TELL YOU WE ARE
GETTING ALERTS FROM OUR PHONES,
SOME CELL PHONE CARRIERS APPEAR
TO BE HAVING ISSUES WITH
CONNECTING WITH 911.
AND ASKING PEOPLE TO CONSERVE
THE USE OF WATER UNTIL THEY ARE
ABLE TO SORT THAT OUT.
THAT IS LOCALLY IN THE CITY OF
NEW ORLEANS.
WE ARE STILL GETTING THE FULL
PICTURE AS WE OFTEN ARE
ESPECIALLY AS IT GOES INTO THE
EVENING HOURS.
>> WHAT IS THE LATEST WE ARE
HEARING FROM CITY OFFICIALS
ABOUT GETTING THE POWER BACK ON
FOR THOSE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS
WITHOUT ITS?>> Reporter: 100
THOUSAND ACROSS THE STATE AND
NOT JUST LOCALIZED.
WE ARE STILL GATHERING DETAILS
ON THE BROADER PICTURE.
NEW ORLEANS BASED ON THE LAST
REPORT, TENS OF THOUSANDS IN
THIS AREA, IN THIS PARISH WHICH
IS LIKE A COUNTY IN OTHER
STATES.
SO IT IS NOT LOCALIZED TO JUST
ONE COMMUNITY OR ONE CITY.
I CAN TELL YOU FROM WHERE WE
ARE RIGHT NOW, THIS DOES NOT
APPEAR TO BE ONE OF THOSE AREAS
WITHOUT POWER.
>> WE HOPE YOU AND YOUR TEAM
CONTINUE TO STAY SAFE.
>>> FOR MORE ON THE IMPACT FROM
FRANCINE ON THE GROUND, WE HAVE
THE PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR JOINING
US ON A BUSY MORNING.
FROM WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN SO FAR,
ONE OF THE BIGGEST IMPACTS ON
THE CITY
>> THE BIGGEST IMPACT WE HAVE
HAD IS THE POWER OUTAGES
THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
THERE ARE CLOSE TO 300,000
PEOPLE WITHOUT POWER AND I KNOW
THE RAINS ARE SUBSIDING BUT NOW
WE HAVE ALL OF THESE PEOPLE
WITHOUT POWER AND WE WORRY
ABOUT PEOPLE USING GENERATORS
IMPROPERLY.
SO WE LOSE MORE PEOPLE IN THE
STATE OF LOUISIANA TO CARBON
MONOXIDE POISONING THAN WE
ACTUALLY DO THE STORMS.
FOR THE MOST PART, WE ARE BEING
MINDFUL OF THAT.
>> IN ADDITION TO POWER OUTAGES
AND THE FALLING POWER LINES,
ROAD CLOSURES ALL AROUND THE
AREA.
NOW THAT THE STORM IS STARTING
TO PULL AWAY, WHAT ARE YOUR
BIGGEST CHALLENGES
>> THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE IS
BEING ABLE TO NAVIGATE THROUGH
THE CITY.
WE HAVE OUR DEPARTMENT OF
PUBLIC WORKS REMOVING DEBRIS
AND TREES FROM THE ROADS.
WE WANT TO URGE ALL OF THE
CITIZENS TO STAY HOME AND ALLOW
THE RESPONDERS TO TAKE CARE OF
THE THINGS THEY NEED TO TAKE
CARE OF.
LAST NIGHT, WE RESPONDED TO
ABOUT 30 CALLS AND MOST OF
THOSE CALLS WERE IN REFERENCE
TO DOWNED POWER LINES OR
INVESTIGATIONS.
>> THOSE DOWNED POWER LINES CAN
BE A HAZARD ALSO AS POWER COMES
BACK ON.
WE UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE DEALT
WITH HOUSE FIRE'S IN THE PAST
ONCE THE POWER COMES BACK ON
AND IT GETS HOT.
THAT IS ANOTHER CONCERN OF
PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE AIR
CONDITIONING.
WHAT DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW
IN ORDER TO STAY SAFE EVEN ONCE
THE RAIN AND THE WIND GOES
AWAY?
HOW CAN THEY STAY SAFE IN THE
NEXT FEW DAYS WITH THESE OTHER
DANGEROUS?
>> SO, JUST MAKE SURE THAT IF
WE ARE USING THOSE GENERATORS,
USE THEM PROPERLY, KEEP THEM AT
LEAST 20 FEET FROM ANY OPENING
OF THE HOME.
USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORDS
WHEN THEY ARE USING THOSE
GENERATORS.
MAKE SURE THEY COOL THEM DOWN
BEFORE THEY REFUEL THEM AND
WHEN IT COMES TO BEING WITHOUT
POWER AND THE POWER KICKS BACK
ON, PEOPLE HAVE ELECTRIC OVENS
OR ELECTRIC STOVES AND STUFF
SITTING ON TOP OF THEM DURING
THE POWER OUTAGE AND WHEN THE
POWER KICKS BACK ON, THERE IS
SOMETHING ON TOP OF THE STOVE
AND THAT BURNER MAY HAVE BEEN
LEFT ON SO BE MINDFUL OF THINGS
LIKE THAT AND LOOK OUT FOR THE
NEIGHBORS AND HELP EACH OTHER
OUT.
>> WE ARE JUST PAST THE PEAK OF
HURRICANE SEASON BUT THERE ARE
STILL A COUPLE OF MONTHS LEFT
UNTIL IT ENDS.
LOUISIANA IS NO STRANGER TO
HURRICANE SPEAK AND SMALLER.
DO YOU THINK YOU MIGHT HAVE
DODGED A BULLET?
HOW WORRIED ARE YOU ABOUT THE
REST OF THIS HURRICANE SEASON?
>> WE ARE ALWAYS WORRIED
THROUGH HURRICANE SEASON, THAT
IS OUR BIGGEST CHALLENGE FOR
THE YEAR.
I DO BELIEVE WE DODGED A BULLET
WITH THIS ONE.
WE ARE THANKFUL FOR THAT BUT WE
CLEARLY STAY VIGILANT AND BE
PREPARED FOR THE NEXT ONE THAT
DOES COME.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. STAY
SAFE.
>>> THIS MORNING, DANGEROUS
WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE ALSO
IMPACTING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF
PEOPLE OUT WEST BECAUSE OF
RAGING WILDFIRES.
THESE ARE SOME OF THE
TERRIFYING SCENES HAS MORE THAN
65 LARGE FIRES WERE BURNING
ACROSS THE UNITED STATES ON
WEDNESDAY. MOST IN CALIFORNIA,
OREGON AND NEVADA.
ACROSS CALIFORNIA, MORE THAN
34,000 PEOPLE WERE UNDER
EVACUATION ORDERS FOLLOWING A
TRIPLE DIGIT HEAT WAVE OVER THE
WEEKEND.
DOZENS OF HOMES HAVE BEEN
BURNED BY THE STATE'S LARGEST
ACTIVE FIRE ABOVE LOS ANGELES
CALLED THE BRIDGE FIRE WITH
2000 STRUCTURES ALSO AT RISK IN
THAT AREA AS THE FIRE CONTINUES
TO GROW.
10 WESTERN STATES WERE UNDER
RED FLAG WARNINGS AND FIRE
WATCHES.
NO STATE IS BATTLING MORE
LARGER FIRES THAN ORGAN --
OREGON WHERE 24 FIRES ARE
BURNING.
27 MILLION ACRES OF LAND ACROSS
THE COUNTRY, AND AREA A BIT
BIGGER THAN THE SIZE OF VERMONT.
WE CONTINUE TO TRACK FRANCINE
IN THE SOUTH PLUS THOSE
WILDFIRE WARNINGS.
>>> BUSY ON THE WEATHER FRONT
AND WE HAVE LOTS TO TALK ABOUT.
LET'S START WITH FRANCINE.
IT IS HANGING OUT IN THE
TROPICAL STORM CHARACTERISTICS,
RIGHT NOW AND WE WILL LIKELY
SEE IF WE CAN OVER THE NEXT FEW
DAYS.
WE HAVE A TORNADO WATCH IN
EFFECT FOR THE PANHANDLE OF
FLORIDA STRETCHING INTO ALABAMA
BUT NOTICE WINDS DOWN TO 24
MILES AN HOUR.
IT IS 60 MILES TO THE NORTH OF
NEW ORLEANS, THE CENTER OF THAT
STORM AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO
WORK TO THE EAST OVER THE NEXT
DAY OR SO BEFORE IT STALLS OUT.
NO SURPRISE AND I HAVE BEEN
TALKING ABOUT THIS FOR DAYS,
THE HEAVY RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH
THIS AND THE LOW-LYING AREAS
SEEING FLOODING.
SPECIFICALLY, LOUISIANA ACROSS
THAT REGION THIS MORNING THAT
WE HAVE PLENTY OF FLOOD ALERTS
IN EFFECT.
12 MILLION PEOPLE IN TOTAL BUT
THE FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS ARE
CENTERED AROUND JACKSON AND THE
PANHANDLE OF FLORIDA.
THE GOOD NEWS, THOSE HAVE SINCE
EXPIRED FOR NEW ORLEANS.
SOME MINOR IMPROVEMENT, THERE.
MORE RAIN ON THE WAY BUT
FARTHER TO THE NORTH SO WE WILL
START TO SEE THE RAIN WRAP UP
FOR FOLKS ACROSS LOUISIANA, AT
LEAST THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF
ALABAMA BUT NOTICE MEMPHIS, WE
COULD SEE UPWARDS OF THREE
INCHES OF RAIN AND THE
POSSIBILITY FOR SOME ISOLATED
SPOTS TO RECEIVE FIVE OR SIX
INCHES.
THE FLOODING WILL BE
CONSIDERABLE AND WE WILL STILL
BE DEALING WITH THIS TOMORROW.
THIS SYSTEM DOES WEEKEND BUT IT
DOES NOT CHANGE THE IMPACTS.
WE ARE STILL DEALING WITH SOME
IMPRESSIVE RAINFALL RATES OVER
THE NEXT DAY OR SO.
FROM THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE INTO
ALABAMA, THAT IS WHERE WE WILL
SEE THOSE RAINBANDS SPENDING.
IT IS NOT HARD FOR US TO SEE
THOSE SPIN-UPS.
THAT IS SOMETHING YOU WILL HAVE
TO WATCH FOR NOT JUST THIS
MORNING BUT EVEN AS THE SYSTEM
CENTER MOVES TO THE NORTH.
THE WINDS ARE GOING TO BE LESS
OF AN ISSUE BUT THEY ARE NOT
NOTHING.
WE HAVE 40, 50 MILE AN HOUR
WINDS, 50 MILE AN HOUR WINDS IS
WHERE WE LOOK TO SEE POWER
OUTAGES, ADDITIONAL POWER
OUTAGES OR DOWN TO TREES.
MERIDIAN LOOKING AT 50 MILES AN
HOUR.
I THINK THE STRONGEST OF THEM,
CLOSER TO 60 MILES AN HOUR BUT
30, 40 MILE AN HOUR WINDS NOT
GREAT ACROSS THIS REGION. AND
ONCE WE ARE DONE WITH FRANCINE
OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS,
WE HAVE PLENTY OF OTHER THINGS
TO WATCH.
THERE ARE TWO AREAS WATCHING
DISTURBED WEATHER.
94-L AND 92-L. ONLY A 10%
CHANCE OF DEVELOPING.
WE ALREADY HAVE TROPICAL
DEPRESSION SEVEN WHICH WILL
LIKELY STRENGTHEN OVER THE
COMING DAYS AND WE WILL WATCH
THAT.
IT IS STILL WELL OUT INTO THE
ATLANTIC AND TO BE DETERMINED.
OFF THE COAST OF THE SOUTHEAST,
WE HAVE AN AREA WE ARE KEEPING
A CLOSE EYE ON, OVER THE NEXT
FEW DAYS.
I'D -- ESSENTIALLY A TROPICAL
DEPRESSION.
>>> LET'S GET TO THE RACE FOR
THE WHITE HOUSE AS THE
CANDIDATES RETURNED TO THE
CAMPAIGN TRAIL TODAY FOR THE
FIRST TIME SINCE THIS WEEK'S
PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE.
>> HARRIS IS HEADING TO NORTH
CAROLINA AND SHE WILL HOLD THE
EVENTS TODAY IN CHARLOTTE AND
GREENSBORO.
NORTH CAROLINA IS A
BATTLEGROUND STATE THAT HARRIS
IS LOOKING TO TURN BLUE IN
NOVEMBER.
MR. TRUMP IS SAID TO HOLD A
CAMPAIGN EVENT IN TUCSON,
ARIZONA.
BOTH MET BRIEFLY AGAIN
YESTERDAY, SHAKING HANDS AT THE
9/11 REMEMBRANCE CEREMONY HERE
IN NEW YORK HOURS AFTER THEIR
DEBATE IN PHILADELPHIA. STAFF
MORE THAN 67 MILLION PEOPLE
TUNED IN TUESDAY NIGHT
ACCORDING TO THE NIELSEN
ESTIMATES.
THAT IS MORE THAN THE 41
MILLION PEOPLE WHO TUNED IN TO
SEE THE TRUMP AND BIDEN DEBATE
IN JUNE. LET'S TALK ABOUT A
DEBATE REMATCH.
THE FORMER PRESIDENT HAS BEEN
KNOCKED HER MIDDLE --
NONCOMMITTAL.
WHERE DO WE THINK THINGS STAND WITH LESS THAN EIGHT WEEKS
WITH LESS THAN EIGHT WEEKS
UNTIL THE ELECTION
>> Reporter: THERE IS A DEBATE
ABOUT THE DEBATE, GUYS.
I THINK THERE IS A GOOD
LIKELIHOOD THAT THERE WILL BE
AT LEAST ONE MORE DEBATE
BETWEEN THESE TWO.
CERTAINLY, THE CHRISTINE FELT
LIKE SHE DID VERY WELL.
THE TRUMP TEAM, IT IS
UNDERSTOOD HE DID NOT HAVE THE
BEST NIGHT OF HIS ELECTION
DEBATE.
WHAT IS THAT, SEVEN DEBATES,
NOW?
I THINK THAT THE HARRIS FOLKS
STILL HAVE A SALE TO MAKE.
MEETING, SHE STILL HAS A BUNCH
OF VOTERS WHO ARE NOT
COMPLETELY SOLD ON THE IDEA
THAT SHE SHOULD BE PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES THAT SHE MAY
BE ABLE TO CONVINCE.
I THINK THERE WILL BE AT LEAST
ONE MORE DEBATE.>>> HARRIS IS
CAMPAIGNING IN NORTH CAROLINA.
THAT IS A STATES SHE HOPES TO
FLIPS. ONLY TWICE HAS THE STATE
GONE TO DEMOCRATS.
COULD HARRIS EXPAND THE MAP?
WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE
>> Reporter: IF YOU WANT TO
TALK ABOUT IT IN TERMS OF COLOR
CODING RED AND BLUE, YOU WOULD
SAY THAT NORTH CAROLINA IS
WHITE, PINK.
IT IS DEFINITELY A REPUBLICAN
STATE THAT TYPICALLY ONE THAT
THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE WINS
BY A VERY NARROW MARGIN. THEY
ARE A HUGE POPULATION. THE
CENSUS ADDING ONE ELECTORAL
VOTE FOR NORTH CAROLINA WHICH
IS REFLECTIVE OF NEW PEOPLE
COMING INTO THE STATE.
MANY OF THESE NEW PEOPLE COMING
INTO NORTH CAROLINA.
MANY ARE DEMOCRATS OR
DEMOCRATIC LEANING. THIS WILL
BE TIGHTLY CONTESTED.
DEMOCRATS OFTEN PUT A BIG
AMOUNT OF ENERGY, MONEY AND TIME
AND EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, THEY
WIN. >>> LET'S TALK ABOUT YESTERDAY,

A FAR RIGHT ACTIVIST WHO HAS
PREVIOUSLY PUSHED A FALSE
NARRATIVE ABOUT ATTACKS ON NBC

SOMEONE WHO IS A CONSPIRACY
THEORIST AND A HUGE TRUMP
SUPPORTER WHO HAS BEEN
INCREASINGLY SPENDING TIME WITH
HIM.
SHE WAS AT THIS 9/11
REMEMBRANCE AND SHE IS SOMEBODY
WHO QUESTIONED WHETHER 9/11 WAS
"AN INSIDE JOB." SOMEONE WHO
BELIEVES IT IS POSSIBLE,
OBVIOUSLY, BASELESS. USE THE
ADJECTIVE THAT YOU WANT. I AM
SURE MANY PEOPLE WHO LOST LOVED
ONES ON SEPTEMBER 11th WERE
DISGUSTED BY HER PRESENCE,
THERE.
>>> ONE OF THE MAJOR HEADLINES
FROM TUESDAY'S DEBATE, THAT
BIZARRE CLAIM ABOUT HAITIAN
IMMIGRANT IN OHIO. A CLAIM THAT
HAS BEEN AMPLIFIED BY TRUMP AND
JD VANCE.
THE RUNNING MATES ARE ACCUSING
ANIMALS OF EATING ANIMALS IN
SPRINGFIELD BUT CITY MANAGER SAYS THAT IS NOT TRUE.

BASELESS ACCUSATIONS ON SOCIAL
MEDIA EARLIER THIS WEEK.
>> Reporter: WHAT DO YOU SAY TO
HAITIAN AMERICANS ABOUT
SPREADING FALSE CLAIMS ABOUT
THEM AND PUTTING THEIR LIVES AT
RISK?>> NO ONE HAS SPREAD FALSE
CLAIMS.
WHAT THEY HAVE SAID IS THAT A
SMALL MIGRANT COMMUNITY JUST
CAUSED A LOT OF PROBLEMS. SPENT
THE SPRINGFIELD CITY MANAGER
SAYS THERE IS NO EVIDENCE.
>> I THINK THE CITY MANAGER
ISN'T FULLY IN TOUCH WITH WHAT
IS GOING ON AROUND THERE.>>
Reporter: IT MAY HAVE BEEN
GOING ON WHERE A CITIZEN WAS
ARRESTED INVOLVING CATS.
IN SPRINGFIELD, WE FOUND DEEP
TENSIONS.
>> IT IS A FORM OF
DISCRIMINATION.
THEY JUST BELIEVE THAT THEIR
WORDS HAVE NO IMPACT AND IT IS
NOT TRUE.
SO IMMIGRANTS IN SPRINGFIELD,
THEY ARE ALSO CONCERNED FOR
THEIR LIVES AND THE LIVES OF
THEIR KIDS
>> Reporter: OFFICIALS SAY AS
MANY AS 15,000 HAITIANS HAVE
MOVED TO THE CITY WHICH HAD
ABOUT 60,000 RESIDENTS BEFORE.
