♪ ♪ >> hello, welcome back to "fox news @ night," i'm trace gallagher in los angeles. ♪ ♪ breaking tonight, hurricane ian still wreaking havoc on the florida peninsula. the sunshine state experiencing dangerous amount of wind and rain as they now category one storm heads northeast over central florida and now expected to move into the atlantic later

today. authorities first responders and volunteers awaiting opportunity to rescue those in need and we are told there's many who need need. more than 2 million people without power as the damage assessments either are beginning or are about to begin. we've got team coverage with fox contributor -- beginning west where hurricane ian is headed. good evening. >> hickam a trace. since we last spoke, the amount of people without power in orange county is more than double. overy 69,000 without power are in orange county and we are still waiting for the worst of what hurricane ian has to offer with this part of the state and we have seen the devastation in southwest florida. a place that i've lived.

the storms going to hit the orlando area like it is right now, possibly downgraded to a tropical storm but either way it's going to dump a lot of rain on these communities. over 40 inches expected with sustained winds of 75 miles per hour and we see it best right now. i want to show you if i can the true branch and my photographer nick and penn done a little bit you can see there's a couple trees that have fallen over here in the community. what you do not see is that every home on the block except for two is without power. we mentioned that a lot of people losing power and the people that are up and running are operating on generators. experiencing with hurricanes that i want to get across is that it's obviously dangerous when the storms hovering over you but in the days and weeks after it can be equally dangerous. i think back to hurricane irma

and generators not working. a lot of older people in nursing homes died because of that. at time dealing with triple digit temperatures that we are not dealing with right now but it's still very dangerous thing and something for this making sure it doesn't happen this time around. listen to this. >> we coordinated with our licensed health care facilities and evacuating more than 7,000 patience and residents from 150 facilities. 100% of our operating long-term care facilities have generators on site. >> trace, we are under a flash flood right now and of course with the hurricane being the main thing everyone has an ion, we are under a tornado watch. certainly an issue but the rain is the big thing here with over 40 inches expected and the

orange county sheriff's office describing it as a potentially catastrophic amount to flooding. that is something we will be monitoring and will be here tomorrow. >> trace: will get back to you throughout the night and tomorrow. who live on scene and we should know before the rain came in they are saying central florida, the ground is saturated which means as the rain falls it means trees can fall as over easily. the area where hurricane ian made landfall as one of the most dangerous hurricanes in the history of mainland florida. fox weathers will nunley's and floyd myers and that's where the hurricane first hit the same area. good evening to you. >> within the past hour that we have been allowed and been able to leave or sheltering for nearly 12 hours. the wind gave us barely enough of a break to get out. we didn't have to go far to see incredible damage and i'll have my photographer pan around and

show you these trees that have fallen across the roadways and blocking driveways. this was taken down a lamppost and you can see where they are splintered all around and came crashing down. it's difficult to navigate down many of the roads around fort myers and again this is not far from where we have been sheltered so much tonight. we are hearing in the distance some of the emergency convoys beginning to take the roads and we have seen a couple of the electric convoys come through and we are seeing ambulances rush into the area and a high rate of speed trying to now begin just begin the search and rescue process because up until this point we've had too much of a st sustained wind and two main challenges getting down road for the rescue crews to get to some of the areas. the rescue missions just now beginning in the middle of the night here from this very catastrophic situation that we have been dealt tonight in fort myers. meanwhile, i took a moment to

visit the hotel where we were staying and of course no electricity there. tree limbs across cars and they were telling me that although people are very happy to be saved, many of the people staying in the hotel learn tonight they do not have a home to return to. apparently we had some evacuees from the beach areas of the outward islands including in this and they've gotten worried that their homes are destroyed. if that's the reality sinking in for hundreds of people across florida and the section of florida as they learn the fate of some of their homes. meanwhile others waiting to be rescued, trace. >> trace: we saw some video in fort myers beach where those homes floated off the foundation and a heartrending images. i'm quickly wondering as you've been there the entire day and you look around at the damage. we are told it's both a water event and the wind event. can you tell by looking around

which was more damaging? the wind or the water? >> they both have equal force and i will tell you where we are. we have seen the wind side of things because we are about 10 minutes or so outside downtown fort myers. we didn't have the storm surge over the flooding that caused the damage we are talking about on the beach. we have seen is the endless parade of debris flying through the air all afternoon and coming off buildings with traffic lights crashing down. trees down all around. we have seen a lot of the wind effects. meanwhile, the closer you get to the river and the closer you get to the gulf. that's where the flooding comes forward. they are dealing with a different inland flooding situation as you get closer to places like florida and orlando. massive storms just wreaking havoc. >> trace: will nunley, exceptional work all night long and be safe, best to you. fox weather meteorologist's on

where the storm is headed next. good evening. >> good evening, this term is beginning to pick up it appears in speed but the latest advisory from the hurricane center has this thing moving slower than we would like to. a miles per hour and i will explain why it would be nice if this thing could pick up in speed. we are watching a weakening hurricane ian but keep in mind some of the most historic grains that we have seen have not been as a result of a hurricane. it's because of tropical storms in texas and tropical storm allison. even hurricane harvey which became a tropical storm that's when it dropped the most rain we have ever seen in the northern hemisphere with the tropical system and let alone the united states. it this evening as we have been watching a few flash flood warnings and a flash flood emergency. those are the higher echelons of warnings. the higher echelon means there is a how your danger to people

or property. in venice florida, there's homes that were taking on water and it's not because of the storm surge, but rather it was the rain that was falling. we have seen more than a foot of rain already and since the last hour, in orange and northern osceola counties, the orlando's in orange county, we've had a flash flood warning get issued that will last for the next couple hours because we are expecting additional rains. so far, we've seen anywhere between five and 9 inches of rain around and south of orlando. there's a lot more. it's been on the northern side and heavier precipitation. the southern side, there is dry air that's been working into it. for the most part, we have seen the heavy rain on the northern tier of the storm. but the rain has been incredible. some of the totals that we have seen are now approaching 20 inches. we are closing in on 16 inches and this is where the flash flood warning is for the next couple hours.

but that swath of rain is what fell after we saw landfall. this is the last six or ten hours and we had landfall shortly after 3:00 p.m. this afternoon. the same location where hurricane charley made landfall back in 2004, interesting to know. but where the storm surge was and it's what's most concerning, darkness has fallen as the sun rises tomorrow especially around naples. it's concerning to think what folks might be returning to or what they won't be returning to because of what's going on. still, we've got about 12-18 more inches of rain that we could see on the eastern side. >> trace: that's a bunch of rain coming down on already went territory. stephen morgan, thank you for continuous coverage of hurricane ian and download the app and stream fox weather 24/7. they've done remarkable work

during this storm. if that's the best way to stay updated. the city of tampa didn't get the direct hit from hurricane ian originally predicted but residents are facing treacherous conditions including widespread flooding and of course heavy winds. a correspondent correspondent madeline rivera on the ground in tampa with more on how things are looking there. >> hey, trace. at the rain and the wind have been coming here in waves. at some point, the wind is so strong that you can feel the car rocking back and forth slightly. then it will start to ease up and the same goes with the rain. regardless, people are being encouraged to stay off the roads because of situations like this. i don't know if you have the video up, but if few hours ago the tampa police department weeded out a video of a traffic light crashing down in front of someone's car. some scary stuff right there and that's why officials have been telling people to stay off the road because of the risk of flying or falling debris. if i spoke with someone from the

city spokesperson of the city a few hours ago and they told me there is no major emergencies in the city. there were a few fires from some downed power lines, but they say nothing that they couldn't handle. at the also say emergency responders are still out there responding to calls and winds reached 50 miles per hour, they would've stopped responding to the calls and stayed off the roads. right now, there responding to those calls. i took some time to look around just to see what the area sort of looked like, but for here and for now, here at downtown temple, seems like the roads are pretty clear. that's not the case throughout the city of tampa and i've been monitoring the pills borough county twitter account and tampa is an pills borough county. crews have been busy clearing out debris. whenever the storm clears, there's a lot of work for them

to do. trace. >> trace: a little bit of good news on the very bad day, madeleine rivera live for us, thank you. a first responders and volunteer rescue teams getting ready for recovery efforts as hurricane ian moves northeast. it important to note many fatalities happen after a natural disaster and here to tell us why that is and what you can do to stay safe, certified board member dr. jeanette mesh e nesheiwat. we talk today earlier, after hurricane irma and the storm itself, seven people died and after the storm, 77 people died. it gives you an idea after the storm there are lots of danger still out there. >> yeah, that's right. florida actually has a law in place that all hospitals and nursing homes and long-term care facilities have to have a continuously planned protocol

and management plan in place in case a hurricane hits. they've got to have a group of her ohmic health care personnel as a backup generators, transportation, fuel, food, and there were well prepared and organized. we heard earlier, thousands of residents were transported out. it's important to note that we have what's called transport trauma and it's difficult for some people to leave. for some people to evacuate especially our seniors. it's important that you have a neighbor that's all there, maybe lives alone, check on them and call your neighbor and see how they're doing. for those that are stranded that didn't evacuate them when they were kindly warned to leave, it's important that they stay indoor and stay put and hunker down until the storm passes. you don't want to go outdoors because of concern for fallen power lines and become electrocuted or fallen trees. you want to stay indoors and you want to ration your batteries for your chargers, cell phones

especially if you lost electricity and ration your water, rush in your food. yes, call 9 911, but they will t to you when it's safe. they can put themselves in danger and come rescue you until it's safe. they'll be available as soon as it is safe to do so. otherwise they can get injured and we don't want to see secondary impact and secondary illness and injury when it can be prevented. >> trace: talk about those stranded and i remember in hurricane katrina and those people waited for days for the first responders to show up. it was touch and go for a lot of those people because they kind of ran out of stuff and i'm wondering if that's a big concern maybe not so much in florida because the levees have been boston and the water we think might dissipate sooner then in katrina but still a big concern about people who are stranded and especially older people. >> yeah, rescue teams are standing by and ready to go.

i'm on standby with first responders ready to go down and help it but we have to wait till the storm passes and wait until it's safe. fortunately it's a blessing that there are so many incredible organizations that are ready to help to provide the basic necessities and dry clothing, socks, food, fresh clean water. again, most of the injury and the illness occurs in the aftermath. we will see a lot of hypothermia and you might think you're in florida, how can you get hypothermia? you're in cold, went, flooded and it's windy. you can become ill, your skin can become also rated resulting in dehydration. it there's a lot of variables at play and when it's safe and reay to go into the search and rescue team will be available to restore power to have evacuation sites, it's a group effort. and we are resilient nation. when we come together as

community, we can help one another and get through this devastating hurricane that we are seeing. >> trace: i wonder when you say that you are part of the the response team, what priority one is when you go down? are there things that you bring and need like medicine? what are things that are priorities in the group of doctors not go down? >> for example when i help the victims of hurricane katrina we did what's called a triage. we first determine who is the most ill, who needs to be seen right away. we do things like checking the vital signs in the blood pressure. do they have a fever or pickup ammonia or an infection that we are overseeing. that's the first thing. i am licensed in the state of florida medically licensed so not anybody can just practice in the state. yes, i'll bring my first aid kit

but fortunately we've got the resources we need. we've got the medications and the first responders and fire departments. working hard, working diligently in the community. ready to help, ready to rescue, but it's all a matter of waiting for safety. we cannot go out into the field until it's safe. remember 9/11, all the police officers and firefighters that went in and it was unsafe in so many lost their lives. that's the number one thing when you're dealing with a traumatic natural disaster is ensuring the environment is safe before you going. it's very dangerous with flooding in puddles. if you become injured and i had a patient not long ago that had a small electrocution. it burned a hole through his skin. i cannot imagine what it be like if you actually had something more than that.

>> trace: i notify the audience that dr. not sure what we did a number of reports that went to ukraine helping the people in ukraine there. that's what you do. i wonder if there's a big difference between quickly if i can a very big difference between a war zone and is a disaster zone the way you approach it. >> there's a lot of similarities in the primary goal is to unify and let everybody know we are there to help one another. to get you to safety to take care of you. mind you, having bombs and listening to the alarms go off is more scary. we've got more control dealing with a natural disaster because we know we've got the monitoring capability to see what's coming our way versus in ukraine where you never know what's happening. all you had to do was give yourself a warning was the sounds of the alarms and the sirens. at the end of the day, groups of people wanting to help one another and it's beautiful to

see the humanity and the humanitarian efforts that came together. >> trace: when groups of people see the doctor come in, they'll smile. thank you for coming on as always. >> thank you, trace, have a good evening. of >> trace: coming up, floridians decided to write out the storm and they will tell you what they are seeing on the ground. it's a live as we continue ourel coverage. ♪ ♪ secret had ph balancing minerals; and it helps eliminate odor, instead of just masking it. so pull it in close. secret works. i'm titus welliver. i've played a hero on screen. but you know who the real heroes are? veterans who laid it all on the line

>> trace: florence across the state dealing the impact of hurricane ian. other chose to stay and write it out. two people join us now, jeff

schwartz staying in the city of orlando and emily burke a few miles off the coast of naples, thank you for coming on. emily to jo, naples really was right in the path. why did you decide to stay? >> my family has been here for about 20 years and we've rode out every other hurricane and we weren't specifically told to evacuate. my county luckily where i live, we were not flooded the way that most of naples was, we were very fortunate. >> trace: a lot of people not as fortunate and jeff to you will come i'm wondering you're in orlando. if we were talking about how normally a lot of people leaving the coastal areas to go to orlando as a safe haven. at the storm is hanging right over orlando and expected to drop a be a couple of feet of rain. why are you staying while other people are leaving? >> so far, the power has held up

and we were not expecting the direct hit coming over us for the storm. we are seeing a lot of rain so there is about the root system for the trees and when the winds pick up in the next hour or two. if so far, so good, just a lot of debris outside from the trees and we haven't seen much debris from any structures yet. >> trace: it's important because you talk about the root structure of the trees and i'm assuming that prior to the hurricane come it's been a fairly wet fall and late summer and orlando. it is that a fair assessment? >> yeah, it seems like it rained every day for the past three months. it's not quite that bad but we've had a lot of rain here recently. >> trace: emily, i'm wondering if you had some wiggle room in your plan to stay. if this thing was to go right toward you and your family, did you have an exit plan or were

you -- where you dug in? >> we were basically dug in at that point. just because it was supposed to hit tampa directly, that's what we are planning. last minute, it just kind of started heading directly towards us which in 2017 with hurricane irma it was a category five and it came towards us. we were okay and we made it through. >> trace: a lot of people were hearing that they decided not to leave. they couldn't afford to leave because they can enter for the hotels, the shelters were filled, gas and food, they rode it out because of that. a lot of horrifying stories and that's not your case. we have recommended somebody on the coast leave while you're staying in orlando? >> yes, i have relatives down the tampa area and they evacuated yesterday and went north of here actually.

they'll probably get some of the rain and stuff. ian changed paths, but i think if you're -- obviously it's everybody's choice. typically the category decreases in strength typically by the time it gets here. we are not as amped to evacuate. >> trace: what worries me as i was down covering hurricane harvey and kim assured right in south texas and then kind of lingered over houston and it dropped feet of rain and turned into a disaster. is there very concern about that for you? >> what were mostly concerned about are the trees in the light flooding and i think everybody staying off the roads will be okay without. i don't see is getting that type of flooding that happened in houston or down in new orleans. >> trace: we certainly hope not. emily to you again, i think when you make the decision to states one of those things where you think you've been there for 20

years and erode these things out in the past and you're going to read it again, but nearby you, there were some people that did not fare quite as well. >> no, not at all. 2 miles up the street there was a photo you showed of a blue roof and less than 2 miles down the street from my house. a lot of condos and apartment complexes were flooded as you can see. the picture right there that just came up, less than 2 miles away from my house. like i said, we were very fortunate and we didn't realize how bad it was until i started seeing stuff posted on twitter, instagram, twitter, tiktok. that photo as well. >> very lucky, both of luck to you. facing the teeth of the storm. thank you both for coming on.

>> thank you. >> trace: our live coverage of hurricane ian continues next. ♪ ♪ y congratulations, but it's also disappointing. what do you mean? that's it? i've got nothing left. hey if i were you, i'd try warm milk. enough out of you! hi! oh go.. is this really helping? good days start with good nights, so you may want to talk to your doctor about both. [ sleep app ] i'm still here. oh boy.

back to our continuing coverage. stephen, good evening. >> good evening, we talked 30 minutes ago and already a newly issued flash flood warning south of orange county which is where orlando sits through central florida. for most of osceola county and we have seen anywhere between 1 foot and a foot and a foot in the half of rain falling over the swath. if we've got flash flood warnings from coast-to-coast through the peninsula from sarasota county into orange and osceola counties. that's where hurricane ian continues to move through. we have landfall 3:00 p.m. and i can't believe i'm saying it it's 12:35 on the east coast in the morning. we are talking about a hurricane

here. the forecast has it continuing to weekend and the feel that the hurricanes get from the warm ocean waters. when you've got a storm over land, it will be weakening but still a lot of rain. that's been the biggest threat since the storm surge and the destructive winds moving through. some of the top when reports cape coral 140 miles per hour, that's category four winds. 123 miles per hour with ten different locations in more than ten that saw more than 100 miles per hour regarding some of the gusts and some of the stations that keep track of these went off-line as the winds were so strong through southwestern florida p.r. company that's a concerning thing that we have is debris coming tomorrow. look at some of the current wind gusts. in the middle of the night 12:35 and folks orlando not many sleeping this evening with the costs 48 miles per hour. i've seen them as high as 60 and over into the beach 52

mile-per-hour wind gust with sustained tropical storm force winds. that's an extreme threat and we also have an extreme flooding threat as well and this far as the outlooks or the hazards are concerned, we rarely see this extreme threat. fox weather, we've been launched for about a year and this is the first time we have seen it. secondly the second time because we've got an extreme threat yesterday. the flooding threat will be real, but one question is where is it going to head? into the atlantic, we are expecting another landfall. this will mark the third landfall for hurricane ian and the first one being in cuba. it's not expected to strengthen, but we could get close to their hurricane force winds. that's what we have tropical storm warnings as well as tropical storm watches extending into columbia, south carolina, and augustine georgia. along the immediate coast, the hurricane watches meaning we could still feel the hurricane force wind gusts as we head into

friday with the weekly final. >> trace: could be a long weekend for a lot of people on the eastern seaboard and back to you as news breaks. for continuous coverage, download the fox weather app and stream fox weather 24/7. in the meantime, still early to know the extent of the damage across florida and our next guest knows firsthand what the response at the federal level looks like. a former acting secretary of the department of homeland security chad wolf. secretary wolf, thank you for joining us. daybreak, what is job one? is it going after the stranded and if so, how is that coordinated? >> job one will be life safety issues. when the sun comes up in the conditions allow for first responders, not only local and state but federal officials. coast guard assets probably in the air and on the water, other dhs or homeland security assets looking for those rescues and

looking for people in distress and making sure they can get them to safe places and get them the medical care and attention that they need. that they can only do that when conditions are safe and so that's when the wind really dies down and they can get their first responders out there. it life safety issues will be the first priority once debris comes. >> trace: you talk about life safety issues and i find it fascinating because you hear all the statistics covering hurricanes for a lot of years here. usually people who hunker down and people who were stranded if they've got fuel in the water they farewell. people who don't farewell are the ones who are out in central florida per se when the flash floods happen. flash floods are lethal. is that a priority? is that something where you need to keep people off the eye for cora door for their own safety and would that be a recommendation? >> absolutely. first and foremost they need to

listen to their local and state officials who are saying that right now. often times when the storm passed, people go out of their houses in their homes and that's not what you need to do, that's not what the first responders need to occur. you will see the storm surge and that's along the coast and people along the coast are somewhat used to that in a sense. it's in central florida and parts of georgia and north carolina we will see the inland flooding and that unfortunately if you look at the history is where we see that most deaths and people taking chances and risks. at they are not used to that type of flooding in lend and away the coast. that's certainly a concern so i'd encourage most folks listen to your local officials if they are telling you to stay put and even if the weather is improving. steve put because we need first responders out there. please listen to your local officials.

>> trace: no love lost between president biden and the governor of florida ron desantis but so far it appears the cooperation has been fairly robust. >> any time there's a storm or an incident of this magnitude, you want government officials working with one another. state and federal officials working with each other. you want to put politics aside and do what's best for americans and put americans first. put the floridians first in this case. that's what we are seeing and we can come sooner in the process. at they got there nevertheless and it sounds like from governor ron desantis' comments that the federal governments providing the state of florida everything they need. >> trace: 30 seconds left. are you surprised when you see the number of people who decided to ride this out and some of the financial concerns. does act surprise you at all?

>> it's not surprising. if we see it in almost every storm and folks along the coast certainly some have that mentality they'll write it out. when you see a storm of this magnitude, category four order line category five, that's a different territory than the category one or two. i'm disappointed folks decided to ride this type of storm out. but it's not unsurprising and certainly not unusual. we see whether it's florida, texas or anywhere really along the gulf coast. >> trace: great insight and thank you for coming on. we appreciate it. coming up, our special coverage of hurricane ian continues. a live coverage and breaking coverage because it's still on the move heading over orlando and lingering over on the different 24 hours leaving 24 inches of rain on already soggy terrain. breaking news coverage continues.r

this website. it'll be on foxnews.com if you needed in the meantime charles watson on the ground in sarasota, florida, with more on the dangers residents are facing. charles. >> in morning, for the most part conditions have cleared up. every now and again we get a strong wind gust here that sort of knocks you off your feet but the worst elements of ian have moved out of the area as the storm moves north and east. the next hurdle will be clearing up the debris that's been tossed around. you can see some of it here behind me and the large tree limbs that have snapped off trees onto sidewalks and into the streets. these things will have to be cleared out and away pretty clear so my quickly when you consider three quarters of sarasota county are in the dark.

it tens of thousands of people without power and without service. governor ron desantis talked about this. to take a listen. >> 42,000 linemen there positioned all across the state of florida. as soon as it's safe to go, the power will go into resume power. >> trace: yeah, even then folks will have to be patient as they wait for service to be restored because the lines will first prioritize public health and public safety facilities like police stations and hospitals. then you also have to consider the ground. the rain fell for more than 24 hours and so the ground is soaking might. you've got big trees like this that have taken on the water so you can expect some of the trees may be uprooted and fall into the trees and take power lines down with them. maybe even after they've been restored so this will certainly

be a long recovery process. >> that's critical. it charles watson live on the scene and back to as news breaks. it many faith groups filling ine gaps. a spokesperson for one of the groups, convoy of hope sending truck full of supplies and groceries to those in need. joining us with more on that and i see the trucks behind you. at the causes great and the people of florida will be thrilled when you get there. i'm wondering if there is just food and the trucks or are you bringing a multitude of different supplies? >> right now, it's all the basic essentials people need and the immediately aftermath following a disastrous event like this. it water, sports drinks, groceries and food, baby supplies for those with young ones, hygiene kits. at those types of things they cannot run to the store and pick up and they might not have in their house. >> trace: i know you won't

travel across the florida state line until it safe and you get the okay. how long do you think the effort might last? >> for example, we are working in louisiana following hurricane either which have been more than one year ago. we want to help as many people as we can for as long as we can. that's what convoy home once it is you and this is no different. it looks like it'll be a very long-term response based on the catastrophic nature of the storm in the magnitude of income at the extreme flooding going on right now. the size and scope, one part of florida is affected in one way or another. there's a lot of help to go around a lot of help needed. to speed when you talk about size and scope and i'm wondering where do you target first? are you getting some kind of marching orders from somebody who knows? >> we partnered with a lot of churches on the ground wherever we respond in the snow different.
