8:05 am
but it's deceptively calm. it's like the calm before of the store and the reason being in a hurricane like this, you have so much air moving upwards of the middle of the storm spiraling inwards networks with those very strong winds. that every so often on the outer edges, the periphery of the storm. you get fans is thinking in air with calm winds. that's what's happening right now. but later on this morning in about 2 or 3 hours, conditions blow rapidly. that's usually right here. as you start seeing wind gusts approaching, perhaps 882200 kilometers per hour later on, like we said, just 3 or 4 hours away as land fall comes soon. we're talking heavy rainfall as well, and the order about 10 to 20 centimeters in spots a significant to life threatening storm surge of up to about 4 meters as we push water against the coastline and tornado with as well. we've seen point of warnings issued several possible touch downs and in addition to that, so ultimately we're seeing a slew of the worst conditions. you can imagine. it all comes in just a few hours time. right around sunrise is not
8:06 am
a little beforehand. talk to us more about that storm surge. matthew, there is a lot of concern about it. tell us more about what it is and why storm surge is so dangerous, as well as the source essentially water bottle ordinarily dry, the ground you're pushing the water against the coastline, with those strong winds. in the case of the big bin to florida, this area in the northeastern gulf of mexico apalachee bay is especially considering to use something called the symmetry or the shape of the sea floor. essentially, the sea floor is very gently sloping, very shallow. oh, i can picture your help of your friend moving to his or her apartment. if you had a ramp and you're moving stuff up the ramp on the wheels object to sorts, it'd be very difficult to the ramp was kind of straight up and down like this. i think a lot of lot, gradually sloping ramp is very easy to push stuff up that ramp. same thing here. the sea floor slips very generally. it's so easy to pile water against the coast line, causing net, slashed over. and in this case,
8:07 am
with so much extreme wind targeted aim towards the coastline. you have that surcharge of 3 dollars, 5 meters and spots. and keep in mind that some communities that have never seen a service like this before will be below water. that's why we were having everyone try to evacuate. we're really urging folks get out of town, some post dated. some folks went hopefully folks went, well how, how are the conditions there for helping the people get out of town? if they're, there's so many people that are in the storms past, are they able to evacuate? the time for them is running out and i think there are 2 challenges facing us. both is meter offices communicators, number one, and we've been telling people it's time to go. it's time to get out of dodge. but the issue is we have hurricane data getting back to the 1851 here. we've never seen a major hurricane in the apalachee be where we are. and so one of the issues, anytime we have a disaster, is that people try to compete. i try to base their actions on prior experience. but the problem is they've never experienced anything like what they will to day. they
8:08 am
have no base of comparison. and they often times make really more decisions. and a lot of folks are staying saying, oh, seed hurricane for sure, that's use terms of or but nothing of this magnitude here, at least where we are in this part of florida. the other thing too, is that we can tell people to evacuate. but if we don't help them do it, some people just physically can't weather for economic reasons. some people can't take your time off work. some people can't, don't have a vehicle. so people don't have enough funding to put ghastly vehicles. or they don't have a place to go to where they going, how long it takes to get there. other people have mobility issues, some people are disabled. some people might need austin tags, they don't have a means to be transported. and so ultimately, some people want to evacuate, but simply can't, and we can't be quick to judge. it's unfortunately a, there are people who just simply can't do it in a situation like this. matthew, thank you so much. that was mess you can put you in, perry, florida. thank you to take a look at
