Thank you, JB. I am Chris Cuomo and welcome to prime time. Hurricane Dorian is gaining strength.

It's headed for Florida and we have someone here tonight who's brave, the dangerous elements

to make his way with his crew to the very center of this storm. The Hurricane Hunter is in the sky

right now and we will give you the latest on what the concerns are and why. We also have Andrew

Yang here. He made the cut for the next debate stage. Is he cut out to take on the ultimate fight

against President Trump? His big pitch is a stipend for all. Let's put it to the test tonight.

He's been going at it with Bernie Sanders over it. Let's compare their ideas and who does it serve

to punish children of some of our service members overseas? We're going to have a great debate

on the new front of the president's immigration war. What do you say? Let's get after.

Good news, Dorian. Right now, a category one storm. Bad news, you know how it works, right?

The longer it's over that warm water that's down there, the stronger it becomes. So by Sunday,

forecasters are saying it could be a cat for Hurricane and that will be around the Bahamas.

Well, then what happens? Well, the next thing that happens is it hits the East Coast to Florida,

where how strong what happens when it hits? Those are the open questions. The Hurricane Center

is warning Floridians begin thinking about making preparations, pay attention to your local

officials. Think about whether you have what you need. Think about how you'll get out. There's a

state of emergency in effect already in all 67 counties. Florida could feel tropical storm force

winds as early as Saturday evening. Now remember, once that kind of stuff starts, especially at night,

very tough to move. Tom Seder is tracking Dorian's every move. We're going to go to him live at our

weather center in just a moment. But first, let's get right into the eye of this hurricane.

Are joining us right now is Jack Parrish from the Noah Hurricane Hunter flying inside Dorian. Jack,

can you hear us? Yes, sir. Where's there? You just fine. All right. So first things first.
