five hurricane just about a day right now, which stands at eight category four, and it is promising 40 plus called an hour winds for this region, as well as a deadly, deadly storm surge. i want to show you what he started to happen in tampa bay right now. the water has started to recede. these are easterly wave that is dragging water out typically the water line is much closer but through this spot right here the seawall in front of me, this recession is something you typically see was storms at some point, this will come flying back as a potential 15 foot storm surge in some parts it's estimated to be somewhere between eight to 12 feet here in tampa bay. and that is what has officials very, very concerned this may be a category four storm, a very powerful one, but the storm surge is a category five and it is set to shatter records set by hurricane helene wait only about two weeks ago at some of the debris from hurricane

helene is still out in this area. you see here in this pier, a police officer came by earlier in the day. told our crews that this was damage from hurricane helene. >> and you see scenes, just this one all along florida's gulf coast. >> the storm is extremely dangerous not only because of the rain and the storm i'm surge he added foot of rainfall. that's coming. >> but also because of tornadoes, we've seen several touchdown throughout the region. >> this morning. one of them confirmed in broward county that is hundreds of miles from here but that is on the south eastern part of florida. >> that is extremely concerning. >> there's something like 18 tornado warnings for counties across this region. and it could be a devastating, devastating situation once this war barrels through, not just the western part of florida, but through central florida and pass the east coast it is expected to maintain hurricane force winds throughout its path. i want to go live now to release the rapper was in the cnn weather center for us tracking the storm elisa, what's the latest we are still

looking at a category four hurricane. >> it's maintaining that intensity. it's got 130 mile per hour winds in the center. it's booking it north and east at 16 miles per hour, sitting 120 miles south and west of tampa, lagos, coming into st. petersburg right now, already up to 55 miles per hour winds so sustain a 30-7 miles per hour. gusts are getting up to 50 miles per hour, even in naples, you could see all of the lightning as all of these outer bands work their way inland. we have also found a prolific amount of tornadoes. tornadoes are common when a hurricane makes landfall, but we are really finding some intense 20 warnings in these outer bands that are coming through alligator alley. sound, florida. all of these wife boxes are signifying that it's not just a tornado warning, has a tornado warning signifying considerable damage as possible because the tornado is so large and so impactful a lot of these have some cells discrete cells that are just really just

dropping some of these tools wishers across the state. so the tornado threat continues through 9:00 this evening for that watch, as we get continue to see the outer bands rolling with the heavy rain and drop the tornadoes when it comes to the wind field of this and will impact the entire state because since yesterday, milton's wind field has doubled yesterday, the wind field was 100 miles wide today, 250 miles wide. that's why it's going to impact so many people look at the purple 110 mile per hour winds or greater from tampa down to fort myers, hurricane winds though stretch across the peninsula to the east coast of florida as well. and it will take with it all of the ocean storm surge that it's been turning over over the last couple of days. that's why we're still concerned about what the category is. >> the storm surge will still be a catastrophic nine to 13 feet of storm surge possible from sarasota down towards fort myers, eight to 12 feet in tampa bay. >> these numbers will break what they saw with helene just

two weeks ago, even some storm surge values have to eight feet down towards naples and marco island. and of course it comes with heavy rain, could see rain totals up to a foot or more. boris >> elisa raffa and the cnn weather center. thank you so much. >> i want to go now to be emergency management jimmy, chief of sarasota county. sara tapfumaneyi, joining us live. sandra, i should say, sandra, thank you so much for being with us what are you seeing where you are insert in sarasota is what did you make landfall not far from where you are >> we're anticipating that landfall email coming soon, right now are starting to see wins pickups. so we're not quite at a tropical storm sustained winds just under that amount. but it's starting to get windy. we made our last call for people to evacuate just a short the time ago. and we've been telling people, you don't have much time now, is your time to go if you're going to go and there's maybe about

an hour or to left and then the winds are going to be too strong to safely move around to folks that are not heeding those warnings to shelter in place because here we are in tampa bay we're seeing folks come out and take pictures in front of the store. >> and pose for selfies and seemingly doing reckless things that they probably shouldn't be doing >> this is not the time to be a tourist of the disaster. it people have lost their lives doing that. we cannot stress enough. you need to stay inside and if you are, we had been messaging this for days. now, evacuation level a level b, and level c, this is your time to get out. >> you're narrowing your window of time to be safely evacuated out of that area. >> we still have 11 evacuation centers that are open and still receiving people and their pets. but your time is narrowing, but yeah, going out right now, being at the beach,

trying to surf, even in these waves, it's, it is reckless and it's very dangerous. >> i appreciate that you pointed out that city is that's because a lot of times believe it or not, that is one of the things that jeep people from actually evacuating they're concerned about where they're going to take their pets. so that that is an important message to put out there, that that is available. sandra, i'm wondering after hurricane helene and some of the devastation that we saw, how well you believe that sarasota was able to rebound, were you able to get out a significant amount of debris because that remains for so much of the gulf coast area yeah. >> you know, in the sarasota county area, we have experienced three hurricanes since august. so we had hurricane debby even before hurricane hilary so it has been a busy hurricane season down here and as you guys were pointing out, helene came back two weeks ago typically, you would get months to clean up debris before your next disaster. we had teams here at the county, at the municipality

level we even had neighbors pitching it with their pickup trucks, helping other other neighbors out we've everyone was pitching. it was a community right. effort to try to do as much as we can because we all know that these strong winds that bri can become dangerous and projectiles. so i feel that we did everything that we could with our limited resources and we are also sharing resources with the northern part of the country, which was also impacted heavily from from helene. so it has definitely had had impacts across the whole east coast me to hear that names are helping neighbors in this situation patient like this, obviously an unprecedented storm. >> sandra tapfumaneyi sarasota county emergency management team. we appreciate you joining us. please keep us updated if there's any message you want us to go good out there okay. >> thank you, guys so much is riding out hurricane milton

is peter albert. >> peter. thank you so much for joining us. i understand that you also sheltered in place for hurricane ian that hit the southwest coast of florida about two years ago and devastated the region. specifically parts of fort myers at fort myers beach. i wonder what led you to the decision? stay in and shelter in place again, this time. >> what were relocated? >> a little bit higher up here in former colonial, or we're at nine feet of flood level. >> we're about 25 minutes away from fort myers beach so we wrote us out and didn't have an issue during ian, so we decided to stay for this event you're not anywhere near the beaches that you made it through hurricane ian i wonder are you sticking around with your family who were sheltering in place with yes. >> my families currently here with me we are staying here. my other family, my parents went to the east coast, we just felt

that it was important for them to leave but again, were hunkered down in have our generators in water and ready for the event to happen that is so important to be ready for a storm like this. >> i'm also curious about how well you did during hurricane helene that was just about two weeks ago it impacted folks for miles and miles. were you able to get any of the debris that might have come across your area out of the way well, yes, i manage 160 properties on fort myers beach and we had to go into a very quick mode because we had guests coming down. >> so between the town, my staff and subcontractors, we cleaned up as much as we could as fast as we could in fact, the island was pretty clean of as of yesterday morning when i was out there the town had picked up a lot of the debris as well as the neighbors and the community

it's one of the unique challenges of this storm coming so close to that last one hurricane helene, peter albert, we're going to leave the conversation. >> there. we very much appreciate you joining us, sir. >> thank you very much barreling toward florida, is moving at roughly 15 miles an hour ride as we've heard from countless officials, it is time to shelter in place. >> it is not a good idea to be out as we've seen several people doing taking photographs and as one official told me, being a forest to the disaster again, this is going to be devastating soar. >> we're seeing substantial recession of water in the bay. >> that means that storm surge is going to be coming and it is anticipated to shatter records that were only said a few weeks ago. >> we're going to take a quick break and we'll bring you the latest on hurricane milton here we go back

ground in tampa bay have done very, very intense and then they've slowed down and literally as i'm speaking starting to feel the wind pick but it's so fascinating how just a few miles apart you can sense an enormous difference in conditions that and what this massive hurricane is capable of. i want to go live to e sabella solace who's in tampa and he said, you'd spoken to a guy who calls himself lieutenant dan, who is deciding to ride out the storm in arguably the worst place le like this. >> i'm wondering what you're

seeing, where you are now and what you've heard from residents there he's known on tiktok as lieutenant dan yeah, he was refusing to go to a shelter. he's there at a sailboat right now, pride over here i'm just taking cover. he's refusing to go to a shelter. this is strongly against the advice of police officers who have been here throughout the day pleading with him to please get out of here, go to a shelter but he says, hey, i did it through helene. i'm going to do it again so that's where he's taken cover and it's interesting, justice see the dichotomy of how seriously people are taking this storm. you have people like that you have people out here going on runs, even in weather like this, going out and taking pictures like you saw boris right behind you? and then you have people on davis islands right here, a man-made island were tga hs who yesterday we're taking this so seriously, they were boarding up their homes, packing up, and evacuating. good for them. that's the

advice of what first responders have been saying now, it's a lot harder to move around here if people still want to get out of evacuation zone a and b as it is under a mandatory evacuation. and that's because the bridges, boris have been shut down, the sunshine skyway, the gandy, the courtney campbell, these bridges that connect vanilla's county, manatee county, and hillsborough county? because it's so windy, we're getting these gusts of wind that are too dangerous to keep these bridges operational. and the same goes with first responders. once you start getting into these wind speeds, these first responders are just not going to be able to come out and answer 911 calls. i heard that directly from hillsborough broke county sheriff, chad chronister, who said, hey, i fear for the person who's decided not to evacuate and they're going to be in that situation calling 911 and we can't get out to them boris in mind. >> we heard that from a lieutenant governor nunez just

a short while ago, who is essentially saying that people should not be risking the lives of emergency responders because they made a court decision. it is i'm going to be impossible to respond to emergency calls in a store. my pac, he said it was alex. thank you so much. live for us. in another part of tampa. i want to go live now to paul murphy, who has been tracking the storm not far from the tampa airport what are you seeing where you are? last 20 minutes, this the winds and the rain have really ramped up. >> you should be able to see the icu 75 bridge that is one of the bridge's isabel talked about that it's now closed. >> you should be able to see clearwater. you should be able to see highway 60, another bridge across the whole tampa bay. they're all close the tide. you were talking about that low tide was just after 2:00 p.m. we can see some of that water coming back we're not seeing that here. at that time continues to stay out. the water continues to stay out more as you mentioned, that you

are a florida native by m2. i don't know why people are here. we see the steady stream here and cyprus i mean, we saw people earlier living in the water. i don't know why they're here when there is we're not rain and the condition the conditions here continues to get worse every ten minutes, we see winds keep getting worse and worse. we keep saying that ran back to you >> thank you so much for that update. what are the things pulled noted? i want a florida native, one of the things that has struck me hurricane milton, aside from the way that it rapidly intensified in the gulf, the threat that it poses from the perspective of storm surge, is the way that i've heard people discussing this storm. and the sort of distrust about what this storm actually is, the threat that it poses, and how the federal government can help people respond. i was actually speaking to a couple

of residents yesterday on a massive debris pile at a dog that a local municipality organized in the area. but ellis county hope folks get rid of stuff that had broken down during hurricane helene to help get rid of trash effectively. when i spoke to an elderly woman who told me that she believed that this hurricane was geoengineer. >> this is the kind of disinformation, dangerous disinformation that's being put out there even by elected officials, including and congresswoman marjorie taylor greene, who earlier put out on social media that she believed that someone was controlling the weather? >> not sure exactly what that means, but my colleague dana bash asked vice president kamala harris, who's on cnn earlier today about that kind of disinformation. here's the vice president's response. >> spoken with, local officials who have been struck for example, by hurricane helene and they are doing an

extraordinary job in trying to combat the misinformation. and i'm talking about sharing some talking about mayors i'm talking about local officials. i don't even know their party affiliation and by the way, but leaders on the ground who know that it is not in the best interest of the people living in those areas to not know their rights, not to know what they're entitled to it, to be afraid of seeking help. it is dangerous, it is it is unconscionable frankly that anyone who would consider themselves a leader would mislead desperate people to the point that those desperate people would not receive the aid to which they are entitled. and that's why i call it dangerous. and we all know it's dangerous and the gamesmanship has to stop at some point. the politics have to end, especially in a moment of crisis and the crises that we've been seeing effects so many people and they blocked. i've met people who've lost family members. to hurricane helene we know the desperation

and the fear that the folks were attempting to evacuate florida are experiencing. the last thing that they deserve is to have a so-called leader make them more afraid than they already are we have been fact fact-checking and in fact, just before you came on, we did so our my colleague, brianna keeler, along with daniel, dale and priscilla alvarez are doing that and we're continuing to do it. >> one of my sort of follow-up questions to that is about we know what publicans, many republicans are saying that that is just not true. one of the things that came out of the fire in hawaii last year was that a lot of the misinformation was reportedly being stirred by foreign adversaries do you have any indication that that is happening right now i do not know. >> i do not. but whatever the source, dana, just so we're clear it hurts the american

people and it's got to stop madam vice president. >> i also just want to ask a little bit more about the federal response to one of the republican senators from north carolina, thom tillis, who i should say is not critical of the federal response. he says he believes that president biden should appoint an active duty commander lead the federal response to these storms is that a good idea? should he do that that. >> we've already as part of that briefing heard just minutes ago that tornadoes have actually already hit the area so now is not the time to necessarily think about restructuring as much as it is to get boots on the ground and the support directly that is needed. as a matter of urgency. and certainly all good ideas are welcome but right now, let's let fema, let's let the folks who are on the ground brown do the work they need to do right now in real time,

that's about assisting with evacuations, getting correct information out, battling sadly, the misinformation and putting in place the resources that can hopefully mitigate against the predictable damage including for example, we heard a very good briefing from the commandant of the coast guard. the work that needs to happen around being concerned about potential damage to the port in tampa, that kind of work needs to happen urgently and that's where my focus is. >> that was vice president kamala harris speaking with my colleague dana bash, we want to get reaction. now from an official with fema keith turi joins us now, live key. thank you so much for sharing part of your afternoon with us. i'm wondering what you make of the amount of disinformation about this storm and the government's response to this storm and others, that is out there and how folks here on the ground in tampa, some of them that i've spoken to seem to

think that this is a conspiracy environment's been very tough the last couple of weeks with all of the information that we've misinformation that we've been seeing. it's difficult to operate where we don't have trust and trust in those institutions that are built and there to protect people. and so we need to continue to push forward on getting that accurate information out there. that's what we've been doing. we have a rumor response page on the femur so i did that folks can go to to get the real information. >> we've been partnering with our state and local officials, got some great partnership for many of them to help also push accurate information out there. >> but it's critically important that people trust what they're hearing about this storm. it's a very dangerous storm is going to bring a range of hazards across the entire florida peninsula and it is it's something that people really need to take seriously and we need that message to get across hazards which concerns you most, because obviously here in areas close to the coast,

you're talking about a powerful storm surge. >> but even as far away as broward county, a few hundred miles from here, we had a confirmed tornado this morning a witch aspect to this storm concerns you most or residents, which one do you think they should know most about well, it all depends on where you are obviously hazards are going to play out in different places across the entire state of florida. >> if you're in that storm surge area and you've been ordered to evacuate. hopefully if folks have done that at this point, that time is running out. storm surges. one of them the most fatal portions of the hazards and one of the greatest risk to life and safety. but as you mentioned tornadoes can pay can be a significant risk. we're going to see major river flooding from the storm, where areas that may not have flooded before are going to flood because of the extensive rainfall and the fact that the storm surge is going to come up and block those rivers from from draining. so it's hard to pick a particular hazard. i think we want everyone to pay attention to the specific houses where they are best way to do that as listen to the local officials, we can help you understand your risks in

your area. >> there's been a lot of questions to the point earlier about misinformation and questions about preparedness about fema funding and what the federal government he is able to offer folks in situations like this. what would you say to those who are doubtful about the government's capacity to respond, not only do a hurricane like milton but a hurricane like milton coming just two weeks after hurricane helene, two very powerful storms back-to-back have the resources that we need to respond. >> fema is primary coordinator for all of the federal response we work with our state and local officials, but we bring in resources from across the entire federal government that includes our partners at lvmh services, the army corps of engineers, and the department of defense has been a big supporter of our efforts overall. >> we planned for this. it's not a surprise that multiple hurricanes can hit back-to-back. we understand that's a reality. we plan for

it. we have waste to surge. no one needs to be concerned that fema doesn't have the resources to respond >> thank you so much for coming on and sharing those details with us to come on. cnn news central conversations with local officials as well as residents while hurricane milton gets closer sure. and closer to the gulf coast with deadly promise, stay with cnn saturday at nine on cnn? for over 25 years, loved sack has been rewriting the rules of comfort. it's okay to change your style, get messy yet immersed with loved sack you make the rules and the

emergency services, good, suspended for at least one of the barrier islands, anna maria island this is not barbara where we are here in tampa bay right now, actually want to talk to a couple that it's decided to hunker down and stay there we're joined now by captain bobbie denier let's now escape. they own a voting company. thank you so much both of you for being with us. i wonder what is going through your mind right now as you hear that ems service it's been suspended for that area through our minds as were just saying prayers it means the world to us. >> it's our livelihood were afraid of lose and everything out there. it's been wiped out and it's devastation on that island to businesses, to family i used to france. >> and then you have this come right at us. >> that is it's just like the one-two punch that it's so hard to survive

out from hurricane helene. now having to deal with a storm that is just as if not even more power >> were all sitting here nervous while sitting on the edge we just started doing cleanup work really happy the community was coming together we're doing fundraisers you know, get crews together, helping each other out, and then all of a sudden we get this news and the next thing you know, we're loan and boats up or down houses. we put in a bunch of volunteers together anna, me brad my stepson, and we went around securing homes. i think we did about 18 homes in the last three days trying to get prepped and now we just feel like at this point, we're not in evacuation zone, but we're real close as you know, where we're at and we're just said our prayers that there's nothing more than that we want in this world than to have our

barrier islands survive. it's our livelihood, it's our life for so many mentally residents for folks that come year-round i'm wondering, what is it like for you having seen the devastation from hurricane helene last week now? >> having hurricane milton barreling down toward you, what is going through your mind as you hear that there are tornadoes now scattered across the state of florida. that this obviously has to be a very frightening experience that was the word that comes to mind, boris fear and just concern and it's kind of a helpless feeling because there's only so much that we can do know we were helping friends with repair efforts. >> thankfully, a lot of their homes have been cleared out already one of the think it's concerned, especially on the closer you get to anna maria island is the debris. we don't know where that debris is going

to end up so we're just we're keeping everybody in our prayers and we've helped as many people as we were able to help but we're all just we're hopeful but it is a very concerning time for everybody would hope defense you, randi showed me it is very much appreciated. you have to leave the conversation there. captain bobbie, and adam. >> thank you both so much. please keep us posted on how you're doing. we would love to check in back with you as the storm passes thank you, boris, like you very much force and you will hear stories much like that one, a lot of folks throughout the region very frightened that they may lose everything. that is another reason that so many folks stay behind, even when they are in evacuation zones. unlike it's and bobby and anna, their folks who are not in evacuation zones, those who have been

tampa bay watching hello, to get closer and closer to florida, we're experiencing heavy rainfall and very strong winds. we want to go live now to brian todd, who's also in the tampa area and ryan, i understand that some bridges near you have started to take on water. >> what are you seeing there volume of water and rainfall coming down now do you know from covering hurricanes when you start to get hit with rain, that's moving sideways and hitting you sideways than you know, you're getting into some bad hurricane conditions that has started here. >> our photojournalist, many clinical is going to kind of go over my left shoulder here, kind of give you a sense of the volume of rainfall here. as he films against that tree, you can see the rain coming down here. what we're told here now is that the storm surge here in tap is going to be bad eight to 12 feet, but in tampa, what

could be even greater danger is the volume of rain this area could get hit by up to 12 inches of rain that means that drains are going to overflow canals are going to overflow. sewers are going to overflow that's where the flooding threat isn't. wars when you talk about maybe some of the bridges starting to take on water that could be the issue there. these bridges with their cranes and everything, maybe not able to handle. again, this volume of rain here you talk about the bridges, boris, the bridges are now closed. now, this bridge here we just saw a vehicle coming across this this is still possible. this is a lower this is a lower bridge, as you can see, but some of the higher bridges, like the sunshine skyway over tampa, they have been closed and officials are now saying that the time for evacuation is now over. you cannot get out even if you want to. now, we've talked to several people along bayshore boulevard here who have elected to stay and they say that they believe that they can withstand the storm surge that may be some of the good news here for tap boris, is that maybe the storm surge itself may not be quite as bad as they forecast, but it's still going to be very dangerous here. of course,

storm surge in st. petersburg not far from here and in sarasota, just south of here is going to be very, very bad. but what we're watching right now is really the volume of rainfall coming down here in tampa not too far from where you are. you're feeling it we're feeling it here. again officials telling us that people have to get off the streets, basically starting now because again, drains are going to overflow, sewers are going to start to overflow. that's where the dangerous coming here in the tampa bay area, boris nowhere for that water to go. you're talking about nearly a foot of water as you said, all coming down six months roughly worth of rain for this area coming down in a single day, if not slightly less, further, you're talking about the storm surge which brian mentioned. so it is a lot of water for an area that is simply not used to seeing storms of this magnitude. and that is why the storm surge is expected to shatter records that were set just two weeks ago by hurricane helene. brian todd. thank you

freeman, who is live in reading, were trump will hold a second rally tonight. and danny, it's important to note that he is repeating false claims about fema and other things as hurricane milton is close to landfall in florida. and is the republican governor there has urged people not to fall for missing information and disinformation like this former president trump has two events today in pennsylvania, like you said, the first one is he happening right now as we speak in scranton, pennsylvania, the next one a little bit later in reading and brianna, this event in scranton is supposed to be appealing to white working class voters in president joe biden's hometown trying to get voters in that lackawanna county area and the campaign was hoping that he'd stay focused because of that on fracking, on the economy. >> but instead and he really has mentioned that a little bit. he continues to repeat this false statement that there has been some problem with disaster relief funds specifically because they may have been going going to house

illegal immigrants in his words, take a listen to what he said are we have another big one coming in, but the worst the one in north carolina, georgia, alabama, virginia, was pieces of florida got hit. >> i would say credible worst the worst ever. they say they had no money, you know where they gave them money to illegal immigrants coming in many of whom are killers. many of whom are drug dealers. many of whom are gang members, and many of whom came out of prisons from all over the world saying for the past several days, this is a false claim. >> congress funded program to help state and local governments house migrants, customs and border protection then instructed fema to administer that program, but the funds are separate from any sort of disaster relief funding meanwhile, brianna, a couple of hours, the former president's gonna be here and redding, pennsylvania trying to rally
