Tropical Storm Threatens Gulf States
BLACKWELL: A tropical storm is soaking Florida, at least parts of it right now, bringing with it dangerous tornados. We just got video showing a semi being blown over. This happened on the interstate overnight. Allison Chinchar is tracking tropical storm Nestor and the threat of more tornados to come. Allison?</s>ALLISON CHINCHAR, CNN METEOROLOGIST: Yes, that's right. Damage reports coming in from Polk County, Florida. And again, you've got that area right here, the central and even portions of northern Florida that are under that tornado watch until noon today, so we've still got a couple more hours to go through. But it's not just Florida. Keep in mind that watch may be expanded as we go through the day, because as the storm slides up the east coast, so do the threats for damaging winds as well as tornados for places like Savannah, Hilton Head, Charleston, even up around Wilmington, North Carolina. Here's a look at the forecast for this storm. Still sustained winds of 50 miles per hour moving to the northeast at 17 miles per hour. And a lot of heavy rain across the central portion of the state there. Visibility is very poor. You've got downpours, so, again, please take extra time if you are out driving on the roads today. It's a relatively fast-moving storm, which means we expect this to be back out to sea by tomorrow afternoon. So again, a very rapidly moving storm. This is good news because it doesn't mean that it's going to have a tremendous amount of time to dump rain. But we talked about the tornados. You can see the video right here off to the side of your scene, that tractor-trailer being flipped over. We know of damage reports to homes as well as a church that was nearby. Again, today is really going to be the cleanup process for those. The National Weather Service has said they will go out, they will survey this area to determine whether or not this was a tornado, and if so what strength rating do they actually give it. In terms of rain, that's also going to be a big concern not just for Florida but even some other states, even cities further inland. Atlanta, Knoxville, Charlotte, even Washington, D.C., likely to get heavy downpours at times from this storm as it slides to the north and east. Widespread amounts, Victor and Amara, likely about two to four inches, but there will be some spots that could pick up six if not even eight inches of rain before this system finally exits.</s>BLACKWELL: Allison Chinchar, thank you.</s>WALKER: Thanks, Allison. It wasn't just Tulsi Gabbard. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also accused former Green Party candidate, Jill Stein, of being a Russian asset. Hear how she is responding, next.
