Mr. O’Brien: It’s not over until it was past, though. Dennis, a tropical depression, hammer blows of the Mississippi Valley and Tennessee. All this in this American morning.

Soledad O’Brien, CNN Moderator: “Welcome back, everyone. You’re watching our special coverage of Hurricane Dennis, and their consequences.

Mr. O’Brien: It is good that you contact us. We have a briefing live underway in Florida, we just want to say briefly.

This is confirmed by the emergency operations centre exists in Tallahassee. The lieutenant governor and the head of emergency management in a brief hospitalization. We then come back to him, once they start, Dennis on certain facts and the situation in their consequences.

S. O’Brien: All the latest information on Dennis. It’s been downgraded to a tropical depression, it provides heavy rain on parts of south-east. Federal agencies fanning emergency from this morning, damage assessment, aid to affected areas. A company with insurance companies is to assess the damage, indeed, is currently between $ 1 billion and $ 2.5 billion.

Mr. O’Brien: Dennis flooding in St. Marks, Florida, but water is now back. Otherwise, damage across the Florida Panhandle was not as serious as after Hurricane Ivan last year, it was indeed a storm of $ 12 billion. If you do the monetary measure in a way, this is only a fraction thereof. Of course, if you have a roof of the absence this morning, it made no difference to you.

Rob Marciano, the weather is at the centre. He’s watching Dennis and its consequences.

(REPORT OF TIME) S. O’Brien: The damage caused by Hurricane St. Marks, Florida, 20 km south of Tallahassee, is much larger than expected. Chad Myers for we live in St. Marks.

Hey, Chad. How does it look? And how were, in the territory today?

CHAD Myers, meteorologist CNN: You know, it is a bit south of Tallahassee. I know, drive, and the state troopers are here and the Sheriff’s Department is here. But that other, no, no real help on the way, or at least not yet. We assume he is on the road to that destination.

It is a roadblock, the road about three miles. Thus, it takes some time for the roadblock. We have not yet led to see up there, as many cars are in fact in this line, but they are an arrest at a time when, to make sure you really belong in this area.

The problem was actually a storm flooding. And the problem was the form of Appalachia Bay, a species on the head of everything, and the wind was blowing on the whole, above, and we are TIPPY, TIPPY above, is the St. Marks. The wind was blowing right to the water to fall asleep, and it was done.

The boats you see behind me are in fact still in its supporters, but the boats Shell Island Marina. Shell Island Fish Camp and Marina, a few photos from there. Just to see the images.

The problem with boats, they were all in the storage rack. Rack storage, if you use a forklift, take the boat with water, then a little on a rack. The rack is where the boat, how a trailer without wheels, but it’s not moving.

The boat moves as the water is coming. While asleep near Shell Island. And Shell Island Fish Camp, the soil is completely destroyed. But all boats are likely to damage, oh, 20000 $ 30000 $ outdrives one and only major driver in the back. Unless your outdrive your engine, and your boat is sitting on the ground, they can him back and put it back in your rack storage.

The other problem, the two forklifts, for the backup were also in the flood. They were all the way until the place to sit. Obviously, the engine in salt water. They do not work this morning, so that they are not, it is not yet set. They have to put in place in some other forklifts from other ports in the area around these boats in order.
