- We go now to Chuck Holtonwho joins us from Juno Beach

with more on how folksare bracing for the storm.

Chuck, how are things there?

- Well, we're just startingto get the outer bands

of the storm this morning,

and what we're seeing here,this is low tide right now,

and the waves are starting to come up.

There's a tremendousamount of force comin' in.

We're seeing some people come down

to try to take a look at what's going on,

take pictures and stuff,but without a doubt,

people are getting ready byboarding up their windows

and closing their storm shutters

and hoping and praying that this thing

does not decide to makelandfall right here.

- Yeah, talk a little bit more

about that concern in the area

even if Dorian just skirtsthat part of Florida.

- Well, considering thestrength of this storm,

you're talking aboutsomething that these people

have not even seenbefore in living memory,

and so they're not reallysure what to expect from that.

Everybody, they have hadlots of hurricanes here,

and they are preparedas much as they can be,

but even this morningthere are some gas stations

that are still open, somestores that are still open,

but I'm sure that that willchange here as the day goes on.

- What else are you hearing there, Chuck?

- As I talk to the people here,

they're already starting to think ahead

and say what can they,

where will they go ifthey do lose their home,

or where will they go, whereare the closest shelters?

Some of the churches andsecurity teams at these churches

are making preparationsto start to take people in

if that's necessary.

- Okay, well, you're a former Army Ranger.

Talk about how you're viewing this storm,

and I'm sure you're thinking

of survival skills and so forth.

Talk a little bit about that.

- You know, I went throughtwo big hurricanes last year:

Hurricane Florence and Hurricane Irma,

and Irma, I think that's what it was.

Anyway, both here, one in South Carolina

and one in Florida,

and Florence was notthat bad; I rode that out

right on the front linethere, right at ground zero,

but after seeing whatHurricane Michael did

in the Panhandle, MexicoBeach, and that sort of thing,

I'm a little more worried

because I saw a power thatI've never seen before,

and when you see whole subdivisions

that are just wiped clean,

there's just nothing leftof them, no houses left,

that is a major problem.

- Yeah, most definitely.

All right, Chuck, thankyou for your report

and stay safe, sir.- Thank you very much.
