[0:05] This is CNN.
[0:13] Hurricane Andrew continues its deadly
[0:15] course. Residents along the Gulf Coast
[0:17] are racing to get out of its way.
[0:20] Andrew's punch all but knocked out
[0:21] Homestead Air Force Base. Fidians
[0:23] surveying the wreckage of their homes
[0:25] and their lives.
[0:31] This is CNN's Prime News with Bernard

[0:37] sitting in for Susan Rook at the CNN
[0:40] Center in Atlanta.

[0:47] Thanks for joining us. Hurricane Andrew
[0:48] is on its way to Louisiana's southern
[0:50] coast where high winds are the precursor
[0:52] of things to come. After wiping out much
[0:55] of southern Florida yesterday, Andrew
[0:57] continues its northwesterly path.
[1:00] Millions living along the Gulf Coast,
[1:02] including those in Morgan City,
[1:04] Lafayette, Lake Charles, Bowmont, and
[1:06] New Orleans, have been evacuated. For a
[1:08] weather update, we go to Karen McInness
[1:10] in Atlanta.
[1:12] >> Now, Bernie, already with this latest
[1:14] radar image, we've seen these images
[1:16] over the last eight hours. the eye is
[1:18] moving ever so close to the coastline.
[1:20] And as it does move closer, it may in
[1:22] fact become a little bit more jagged, a
[1:24] little bit more unpredictable. That is
[1:27] what will be dangerous with this storm
[1:28] system. But also these feeder bands,
[1:30] that is the moisture that's being drawn
[1:33] into the uh center of this storm. Some
[1:35] of them are filtering out across
[1:37] southeastern Louisiana. So just to the
[1:39] south of New Orleans, they're picking up
[1:41] some fairly gusty winds and some heavy
[1:43] rain. Now, with these feeder bands, they
[1:45] may contain some embedded thunderstorms.
