david mattingly, how are things in gulfport? >> reporter: well, everything we're seeing is almost a carbon copy of the hour before the hour before the hour before. since midnight we've had tropical storm conditions here. relentlessly the wind and rain have been blowing out of the east. we're about 100 miles away from the center of this storm and we're getting drenched here. and the storm because it's moving so slowly, they've revised the amount of rainfall projected from about a foot, up to about possibly in some areas 18 inches. that's because this storm is just not going anywhere. all of the water that it's carrying is coming down in sheets. right now we're seeing -- getting reports of flooding in the low lying areas where the mandatory evacuations were in place and because of that, we're also seeing some roadways flooded. some areas cut off. and official here are very encouraged because that i have seen a lot of people heeding the evacuation warnings. a couple of thousand people showing up in shelters so they feel good that m

david mattingly live in gulfport for us. thank you very much. >>> we have breaking news into the cnn newsroom. this is coming from the national weather service. they are saying emergency management officials in plaquemines parish reporting overtopping of a levee on the east bank to white ditch. this will result in significant deep flooding in this area. i'm going to read it again because the wording here is very important. emergency management officials in plaquemines parish reported overtopping of a levee on the east bank. this will result in significant deep flooding in the area. we're going to try to get you more information on this. would he head ov we'll head over to karen maginnis in atlanta. i know this has been a major concern that the flooding that could happen -- or the amount of rain which results in the flooding and then potentially what it could do to the levees in the area. >> and let's mention that the levees are not fail proof. they can only handle a certain amount. after katrina, they were reinforced, rebuil

david mattingly is in gulf port, mississippi, and has it let up there at all? >> reporter: well, it is letting up a little bit but not enough to really feel any sense of relief because the conditions are almost identical to what we saw 24 hours ago. a little less rain right now so that is a good thing. the winds are still strong. we have seen tropical storm force conditions since midnight yesterday. right now it is all a matter of waiting for this to let up to they can find out exactly what they have to recover from after this storm, but take a look at some of this video first from bay st. louis. this time around they're seeing very high flooding and the storm didn't move out the way it was supposed to. it just moved in and stayed here. they're seeing flooding higher than what they expected to see. also video this morning from gulf port, mississippi, not gulf port but biloxi, mississippi. a lot of street flooding there and the casinos were closed ahead of the storm by order of officials there, but you can see the street flooding there and similar street floodin

david mattingly joins us live from oak creek, wisconsin. we hear he had a tattoo commemorating 9/11. are police commenting on that? >> reporter: they are not commenting specifically about that tattoo. a lot of attention is being paid to what the witnesses are saying describing this man as agatha 9/11 tattoo. as of late yesterday, authorities were not going to speculate as to exactly what happened here. but one local official did tell us that there was a certain way that they were approaching this investigation as a case of domestic terrorism. listen. >> we're treating this as a domestic terrorist-type incident. therefore, the fbi has the resources needed to help investigate that. >> reporter: so that's about all the insight we're getting as to how they are approaching this case. but so far no one confirming actually what the motive in this violent shooting may have been. but again, a law enforcement source telling cnn this morning the suspect was an army veteran and may have been a white supremacist. so that, again, one step closer to that

david mattingly, i can see what it looks like. tell us more. >> reporter: well, you don't want to know what it feels like. it's uncomfortable. the rain is blowing in in a way i have not seen all night. we are watching the rain come in tropical storm strengths. we keep keeping our eye on the ocean behind me. it's very angry right now. we got a high tide coming up any minute now. we are already seeing some of the waves splashing up over the seawall behind me. that was expected. but, we just don't know exactly how high the storm surge is going to be going with the storm. we don't know how much rainfall we are going to end up with here. they revised the forecast to a foot of rain to possibly, in some areas, 18 inches of rain. that's because isaac just won't move. it just won't get out of here. officials thought they would be done with the storm by now and into the assessment and clean up faze by now. the city of gulfport extended their curfew which originally expired at 7:00. they have extended it until noon. if it doesn't let up, the

. >> david mattingly with live in oak creek. we've heard the gunman described as a 40ish old white male and we keep hearing about this tattoo commemorating september 11th. >> reporter: that's right, but nothing specific regarding a possible motive. we had a law enforcement source telling cnn early this morning that the suspect was indeed an army veteran and may have been a white supremacist. we have people from the temple who were yesterday telling us that this man wearing a t-shirt and dark pants just showed up in the parking lot shooting, killing someone outside before going inside the temple and killing others in there. but at this point and including what we're hearing yesterday from investigators here at the scene, that there was no actual motivation that they've been able to determine specifically in this case so far. witnesses at the scene through an interpreter who talked to cnn were saying that the gunman did not appear to say anything as he was in there, and police arriving at the scene exchanging fire with him, killin

>> david mattingly for us this morning in gulfport. appreciate it. >>> let's get the latest on isaac's path and the intensity as well. we are back with richard knapp, the director of the national hurricane center. a moment ago we heard from rob marciano that the change from last hour's update to this hour's update is the speed. it seems slow. what's the implication of that? >> yeah. glad you asked that question. the slowdown in the forward speed, now down to 7 miles an hour, is not good news when it comes to the rainfall totals that could really, really add up as the system moves onshore and inland. not just going to be a coastal concern, but well inland. a slow-moving and relatively large tropical storm, isaac could dump up to 20 inches of rain in some spots. not everybody will get that. but in southeastern louisiana, southern mississippi, alabama, the florida panhandle, that's just for starters over the next few days. it could penetrate well inland. and after rain falls, then the rivers can fill up and river flooding can cause a lot

i want to bring in our david mattingly to talk about this briefly. he's been listening to this as well. david is on the ground in oak creek, wisconsin. so we finally, at least, get official confirmation from authorities publicly on the identity of the alleged shooter. what else did you gather from this press briefing? >> reporter: what jumped out at me is the gripping account we got of that first few minutes as the first responders arrived there on the scene. they got the call at 10:25 local time of emergency 911 call from inside the temple. when the first officer arrived, he saw someone who had been shot in the parking lot. that officer went to assist that person who had been shot. and that's when according to authorities here described it, that officer was ambushed by wade michael page. page, short range and then shot that officer eight to nine times. again, that was at short range. they're using the word ambush here that he shot that officer eight to nine times. we know that officer is now gone through two rounds of surgery and that he is resting

david mattingly is in gulfport right now. he's being dumped on there by isaac. david, tell us what it's like. >> reporter: well, carol, i'm trying to find a new way to describe it. but i can't. we've had relentless tropical storm conditions on the mississippi coast since midnight. and the rain at times is still very, very strong. everyone revising their estimates about rainfall, about storm surge, everything else, about flooding just because of how slow this storm is moving. everybody thought isaac would be just about done with the mississippi coast by now. but we are nowhere near finished with this storm. the wind picking up again right now. one of -- another one of those bands coming in. i want you to take a look at the gulf of mexico behind me. this part of the gulf on a clear day, on a calm day, that would look like a lake back there behind me, it would be so smooth. you can see how churned up it is right now. the beach is completely overtaken by the water. and we're watching to see what's going to happen at high tide, and when these easterly winds change an

>> not with me in it. >> david mattingly joining us now from gulfport. you always hear the brave words from people. i know there are some mandatory evacuations for some parts of the state. is anybody leaving? >> reporter: well, yes, they are leaving. and those mandatory evacuations, carol, have been very targeted to those ever-present low-lying areas along the coast here where they knew there was going to be flooding problems from a storm surge and from the rain, which you can see we're getting some of the first bands right now blowing in. some stinging rainfall right now. we're looking at a high tide here in gulfport right now as well. but we're probably going to have to get used to this, because this is just the beginning. we're going to be seeing a lot more of this as the day goes on. everyone really concerned right now about how big of a rain event this storm is going to be. we're looking at inches upon inches of rain across the gulf coast. we're going to see how those new systems to take care of the storm water that were put in after katrina are goi

. >> david mattingly is in oak creek, wisconsin. so david, how is officer murphy doing this morning? >> reporter: as of the last update we got from the hospital, carol, and that was yesterday evening, they were saying he was still in critical condition. we know that he's undergone two surgeries. that's two surgeries that we know of, and was said to be resting comfortably. his boss, the police chief, was saying that he has a long road of recovery ahead of him. not going into any sort of detail about the wounds that he had, but we know the most serious one is a shot to his neck. so he had a lot of serious injuries he was going to have to be dealing with. they're calling what happened to him was an ambush by the killer, that officer murphy showed up and immediately went to the aid of someone who had been shot there right outside the temple. and then the killer turned his gun directly on him, firing eight to nine times at him. and it's really remarkable that he was able to keep his wits about him and as the paramedics arrived, waved the

david mattingly is live in gulfport, mississippi. we'll begin with rob marciano at the port of new orleans that they are hoping the flood system will hold up in the face of its first big test, rob. >> yeah, they are putting it to the test this go around since katrina, seven years ago, almost to the day, beefed up the levee system and flood gate system and pumps used to pump water out of the city into the lakes and rivers. the levees that are meant to be the barrier between the storm surge and the city itself. and some of these pumps can move water at a rate of 100, 150,000 gallons per second. but that sounds like a lot, zoraida, but really by design they can only really handle about an inch of rainfall per hour and every hour after that, about a half inch of rainfall. that's a typical thunderstorm. when we get the more solid rain shield in here, the rain rate will be higher than that. take a look as far as rainfall totals if you take the weather switcher. the bright white on here indicates rainfall that should -- at least with this g

. >> our david mattingly has been covering this story. he is live in oak creek, wisconsin this morning. david, the southern poverty law center has been tracking page since 2000. that's a long time. was law enforcement involved at all? >> reporter: well, law enforcement wasn't involved because he wasn't showing up on the radar, not breaking the law. so he wasn't showing up in to raise any sort of interest for law enforcement. what we're learning about him now is that he held a belief of white supremacy for at least a couple of decades, dating back to when we know of, when he was in the u.s. army. we heard from an army buddy who talked about how he would talk about a coming race war and when they would challenge him on where the beliefs were coming from, they said he would duck the question. after he was discharged from the military, that's when he started showing up getting involved with rock and roll bands that are called white power bands with white power themes behind their music. that's when he sort of started being watched by the sout

. >> david mattingly is live with us in oak creek, wisconsin. it's the southern poverty law center who said they've been tracking page since 2000. was law enforcement involved at all? >> reporter: this man han talking about his believes for quite some time. he may have been off the radar when it comes to law enforcement. but for the people who knew him, they say that his thoughts about racial ideas were well known to them. this going back to when he was in the military. in the u.s. army. a former army buddy tells us he describes him as being a kind person, a quiet person, someone who had a soft spot for his friends, but who believed very strongly in a coming race war. and even when they talked to him about this idea, he wouldn't talk about or elaborate about why he felt that way. but he had some very strong beliefs. >> he would often mention the racial holy war that was coming. and you know, we just looked at it as he was trying to get attention to himself. because he was always the type of person, even in a group of people, he would be off alon

mattingly died on the scene. the driver of another car and passenger were taken to the hospital. their injuries are not life- threatening. >>> more debate over a proposal to tax people would work in d.c. but live outside the district a maryland representative, elijah cummings, tells the baltimore sun he is against the tax. cummings says he believes the tax could lead at this turf war where, quote, everybody will be taxings everybody. analysts say a 3% tax could raise more than a billion dollars in revenue for the district each year. >>> now, gas police are -- price are going up. the lundberg survey says the average price has climbed 1 cents just over the last two week alone. in the district, the average price for a gallon of regular is $3.97. it is $3.70 in maryland and $3.55 in virginia. >>> coming up next, we'll go live to fox business network in new york. from the runway to the playground. find out why high fashion is focusing on the toddler set. >> as we go to break, when the price of powerball tickets went up this year, word was that the jackpot would jump too and that is ex

david mattingly joins us from gulfport, mississippi where he's riding it out. we have been watching the waves behind you and the winds and rain. tell me, i know you just got off the phone with the governor in mississippi, what did he tell you? >> reporter: he was talking about how they have planned on this storm parking itself off the coast of louisiana and having this kind of rain and this kind of wind for so long. the problem they are seeing in mississippi is all the water dumping on the land trying to get into the streams and rivers to get out. you have all the water in the gulf that's pushing inland as well. all of that is meeting somewhere in the middle. he was talking about one community having tremendous problems with water right now. some people cut off. they were wondering how they were going to get people in there to take care of them. that's just one of the problems they are having to deal with right now with all of this water. this is a storm that's going to be continuing. the governor did say here in his own words about how this storm wasn't suppos

david mattingly, are you there? >> reporter: yes, i can hear you. that fact is absolutely very important. if you put it into context, as we saw brian todd reporting earlier today, he had an experience when he went to the officer who shot page there at the scene. when he went to his home to ask if he could interview him, multiple police cars showed up. police seemed edgy, hands on weapons at the time to find out who they were and what they were doing there. showing a great deal of sensitivity about approaching that officer's home. he later found out they are concerned about possible retaliation from white sprem s supremacist groups in some fashion. by putting this out there they are saying page took his own life. that police officer did shoot him when he arrived on the scene. the fbi called it an amazing shot. but then page himself died from a self-inflicted gunshot to his head. so that could be possible that in that context, putting that out there to let anyone know who may be thinking about retaliation of how page actually died in this confrontatio

david mattingly is joining me with more on those stories and much more on this case. the wounded officer, lieutenant brian murphy, how is he doing now? >> reporter: well, yesterday, he was listed in critical condition. today, the hospital says there is no change in that. he was shot eight to nine times. he was the first officer to arrive on the scene and actually ran to the aid of a person who had been shot there in the parking lot when he was ambushed by the killer and shot at very close range. his boss, the police chief, says he was shot in the extremities as well and most serious wound in his neck and the most trouble with. he has gone through a cuff surgeries and said to be resting peacefully but he and the two others wounded at the shooting and in the hospital remain in critical condition. >> everyone is keeping them in their thoughts and prayers. what more are we learning about the gunman, wade michael page, and specifically his history of hate? >> reporter: what we're finding out is that he did not make his feelings about white supremacy a secret and this went

david mattingly is joining us from gulfport. david, tell us what you are dealing with. we are looking at the pictures and we see strong winds and water there, and what are you seeing? >> well, suzanne, what we are dealing with right now is this rain. this rain we have seen coming down since midnight. behind me, i want you to take a look at the ocean behind me. this part of the gulf of mexico is normally very placid. you would look out there on a calm day and it would look like a lake out there, but today, it is very angry. we just went through a high tide, and we didn't see that water coming over, over the wall that they have there by the sea. so, it is possible that the predictions of the storm surge that they were fearing may not be as bad as they thought. but, what we are looking at with this storm, because it hasn't moved and just continues to dump buckets of water every single minute, everywhere across the coastal areas of mississippi, all of this water is trying to get out, trying to get into the streams and drain away. at the same time, you have the ocean elevate

david mattingly is in oak creek, wisconsin. he's been following this from the beginning. we understand funeral services will be held tomorrow for several temple members. what more are you hearing about that? >> reporter: it's not just several but for all of those who were slain in sunday's shooting at the temple. and the city providing the biggest space they have, the biggest indoor venue they have for this which is the high school gymnasium. they're preparing not for just hundreds of people perhaps to come for this event but possibly thousands. and it's all as people rally around this sikh community here in this town. this community that felt for so long isolated by their beliefs and by their appearance and now finding that they are being greeted with open arms by so many people outside. there's been a memorial fund set up and so far over $100,000 has been donated to that fund. the sikh community here finding that they have a lot of friends from multiple faiths and multiple racial backgrounds here. and those ties are getting stronger as the days go by. >> yeah, you can b

getting hammered hardest right now by hurricane isaac, as we zoom in on the map, take you to david mattingly, right there gulfport, mississippi, he is on the ground. david, i can see the waves behind you and i don't see the rain like we have been seeing in the past but this is really where the rain is hitting hard, bill locks sand also gulfport and now talk there could be some serious problems ahead with a dam. were wrap we had brief sunshine a few minutes ago, but we have had ten inches of rain here. there is flooding inland, off of the coast here, where all that rain fell. it is now getting into the rivers and into the streams and there's at least one flood warning, severe flood warning, out for one river in this county along the coast. we have also seen two tornadoes that have been confirmed along the coast of mississippi, both doing some damage, may have been others, just not confirmed yet. we sometime have tropical storm force -- the winds very robust, but as you can see behind me, the storm surge we saw yesterday has retreated. at least you can see the beach that water, at least -- the

here's cnn's david mattingly for us in mississippi. david? >> reporter: this is a dam on the tangipahoa river. it creates a 700-acre lake inside mississippi state. that dam has been damaged by all the water that's fallen from this tropical storm or hurricane. so they're working right now with a sandbagging operation to shore that dam up. at the same time, they have some other operations going to possibly relieve some of the pressure behind it. but this dam in mississippi, should it fail, would affect people downstream, most of them living in louisiana, downriver, down the tangipahoa river. so that the parish president in louisiana has issued a mandatory evacuation order for people living a mile on either side of that river, as a precaution. the governor's office is backing him up on that, telling people they should pay attention to this, because they don't know what's going to happen with the dam. in fact, we heard from louisiana's governor about this just a short time ago. listen. >> there are concerns, at percy quinn, about a dam over in mi
