pete: we begin this hour with a fox news alert as the aftermath of ian devastates the southeast. >> videos and the photographs don't do the devastation any justice down there. >> it looks like a bomb exploded down there frankly. >> we've been through irma, wilma on the east coast 15 years ago. this was something i've never seen in my life. >> i need you to get up in there and i'm going to hand her to you and you've got to hold her because we have another dog.

pete: this morning a terrifying warning out of collier county, florida, 911 services are down as search and rescue efforts continue across the state. no word yet on when they'll be back online. so far 30 people confirmed dead. 27 in florida and more than 1 million people in florida still without power. rachel: ian making its third and final landfall in south carolina yesterday battering the east as a hurricane before surging inland as a post-tropical cyclone. several piers including this one on pawley's island collapsing into the water due to storm surge. will: we have team coverage with the latest and chief meteorologist mcreichmuth standing by but we have alexandria hoff in florida. >> good morning. we're at a distribution site that opened up at 7:00 and a line of cars waiting on it at that point and ice and water

being given out here by members of the national guard and food and some basic necessities and on the other side of this site, there's heavy machinery that's been acquired and it's here in kind of a staging area ready to be deployed as needed today and there's much need right now and search and rescue efforts still underway and you go down to fort meyers beach, the true devastation is really seen by air there. it's clear ian's wrath wipe it had almost entirely off the map and those rescue efforts will become more methodical and continue throughout the day. it's hopeful those not in contact with their family will be found and officials fear this death toll will likely rise. further in the gulf, sanibel island still inaccessible by road and military and rescue helicopters plying into the area and boats and large barging to bring in heavy machinery there

and the mayor of the beloved community note add grim sp comparison. >> one of our public works people that's one of the first responders out there, he said that he was at hurricane katrina for six months, and this is much worse. honestly, it is very fair to say and we know, and we are informing the residents, this is a long-term recovery process and this is not a place that is habitable at this time and likely not for awhile. >> now, concerns reminiscent of katrina sparked further north this morning and residents in eastern sarasota county reportedly received an automatic tex message warning of potential levy break there and the national weather service in tampa now saying that there's no imminent levy failure expected along the mayoka river and residents feel this is the starting point of trying to rebuild but right now they're

trying to hold h themselves over with these basic supplies and moments of crisis, there's acts of kindness. we were surveying some of the heavily, heavily damaged neighborhoods yesterday and several occasions with regular people if trucks that came throughout the state and one man from miami had his truckloaded with food and water and was asking people that were coming up to take as much as you need. there's a lot of work to do. pete: chief meteorologist rick reichmuth is also with us and track the path of ian. >> yeah, the service connected and have rescue efforts going on and some recovery efforts with the forecast coming this week and mostly sunny skies and they're a little down and overnight temperatures into the 60s and feeling good for people who don't have a/c and maybe open up windows and cool things down and hotter this time of year and rainfall totals that fell and titusville in east coast of florida and 25 inches

over 25 inches and for the university in downtown tampa. daytona beach, they had almost e west side and 20 inches of rain and that's down on the north of fort meyers area. that's where we had that concern for the flooding with the levy break and that's not a case that's happening here and river leving are so high they'll remain at record levels for the next three to four days and it'll take a long time for the water to go down and this is our flooding concern that remains and much, much lower and much diminished but over here we could be seeing flooding throughout the day. areasof west virginia and places like roanoke and slight chance of flooding as well and parts of long island and a lot of moisture here and this east side with a bit of tropical moisture over the water there and continues to bring up more of the moisture and parts of new

england and other batch here that that rain is slow moving now and still seeing it by monday and for the most part the bulk of this is over. rachel: good to hear. great news. will: mark robinson from north carolina. for the latest on it looks like lieutenant governor is raising flooding withins. >> absolutely. thank you for having me here. before i say anything else, i want to offer my prayers to the people of florida. they're going to have a long, difficult recovery there. they're going through some very difficult times right now and we want to offer our pra prayers ad certainly offer up our assistance in anything they may need. north carolina is there with you to help you through this difficult time with our prayers and with our physical help. north carolina has warnings in the area i'm in in the middle of

the state and today we're going to take time today and contact our folks all across the state to try and make a better assessment of what's going on down on the ground and we don't expect it to be that bad but as with the storms always, we know we're going to see flooding and power outages and we're going to have certainly making sure we do that today. pete: how do we get resources to people in a timely manner and really, really manners and there was a fire side chat recently where she said this. i want to play the sound and get you to react to how she'd like to distribute resources. listen. >> our lowest income communities and our communities of color that are most impacted by these extreme conditions and impacted by issues that are not of their own making.

and so we have to address this in a way that is about giving resources based on equity. pete: she says resources based on equity. your reaction? >> you know, it's just a sense of a larger problem in politics. we can't set politics aside to work with each other on these crucial issues. and then we can't set aside our social differences and we can't set aside these ridiculous issues that somehow a hurricane is going to hurt you more than it is your neighbor. we have completely lost focus in many places in this country and we need to get the focus back. the focus is on getting the work done together not dividing people by social class or by race but together. we need to make sure that all of these hurricane victims no matter what their social economic status may be, make sure they're all taking care of you. it's a sad and larger problem in

this country. rachel: yeah and such a missed opportunity to unify the country and silver linings of a natural disaster is the country coming together and they're trying to help each other out and using a natural disaster to further divide the country and also to create confusion and here's christina poo shall recollects a trying to clear the air because people are on the ground hurting and hearing this and confused and she says, she tweeted out, this is false. the vice president's rhetoric is causing undue panic and must be clarified. fema individual assistance is already available to all florideans umm pacted by hurricane -- impacted by hurricane ian regardless of race or background. your response? >> my response is this, our leaders or so-called leaders and representatives need to take a

clue from our citizens. take a look at videos you saw from katrina and some of the videos you'll see after this hurricane. citizens come together, black, white, rich, poor from urban areas, from rural areas, they come together to help each other. the same thing needs to happen in our government. when that happens in government, things get done. when they don't, things fall apart. pete: lieutenant governor mark robinson of north carolina, great message this morning and great work. we wish you the best there in north carolina. will: thank you, sir. rachel: thank you. again this presumption that only black and brown people are poor, for one. and the other presumption that the memories and trauma are exclusive to brown -- or more severe in black or brown people and that's not true. this is the all kinds of factors going into this including ages of people that are going through these hurricanes, the conditions

that they're under. i mean, it's just ludicrous to try and racialize this: pete: for sure, we're entering a political season. ron desantis is on the ballot and lots on the left that would love to see him diminished by his response to the hurricane and instead i think his leadership has been excellent in that state and people see that. it is political season and we move to political conversation. we talked about kamala harris and played how she'd like to address resources in a hurricane, equity. but it reminds us of plenty of times in which at certain moments she had a opportunity to say something unifying or important but instead say this, watch. >> you need to get to go and need to be able to get where you need to go. >> i do believe that we should have rightly believed what we certainly believe that certain issues are just settled and that's why i believe we're living in real unsettled times. >> the united states shares a very important relationship,

which is an alliance with the republic of north korea. ? in the north, there's a brutal dictatorship and rampant human rights violation and unlawful weapons program. >> with that we have an alliance. will: obviously that was -- rachel: obviously that was a gaffe. just like that. will: we do not have an alliance with north korea. kamala harris, look, it's interesting, is she the weakness of a potential biden reelection campaign in 2024? that's actually debatable in so many different ways because joe biden's own cognitive ability is subject to very appropriate debate. you say i think it's worth asking, is she a great insurance policy for joe bide inlike who wants to move from biden to what you watched on your television screen. or would it help biden to replace kamala harris in a reelection.

bill mahr said that's the key, replace kamala harris. >> he's not giving it up. he waited a very long time. he's like dracula, i've crossed oceans of time to be the president. once you have that real estate, and you wake up in the white house and your office is the oval, i don't think you give it up. hard to take the nomination away from the president. sitting president and i could see replacing the vice president because -- [ applause ]. yeah, she's not very popular anywhere. it didn't seem to work out and i don't know, that's been done before on a ticket. she's a bad politician. pete: interesting take from someone that's a de facto -- he's become more of a free thinker and explainer of things the left should see for themselves but can't admit or the media won't talk about because they cover for them. in this case, first of all,

biden and harris are both terrible on top of the ticket regardless. i find it almost impossible to believe the modern democrat party could remove the first black female as vice president without open revolt inside the party of identity politics and they can't do merit anymore. will: as interesting as what bill maher had to say, how about the applause from the studio audience at that suggestion. pete: maybe the audience is changing. rachel? rachel: adisagree with a lot of things he says. i don't think joe biden will run in 2024. i don't think joe biden wanted to run in this last election. i think he was getting pressure from his wife, who was really intent on becoming first lady. and i also think that he was getting pressure, we now know from e-mails that have come out from his son and his brother who were saying, they were all trying to leverage their own businesses to china and other

places and a lot of that was sort of telling those people and those other countries and tornado governments, the chinese communist government, hey, listen, my dad and brother is going to be the president of the unit and getting a lot of pressure and pressure within the democrat party that were concerned that bernie sanders could become the nominee and they were concerned that, you know, putting a self-identified socialist in the top ticket would hurt them. what was clearly a very close election. i think there was a lot of pressure and i've never seen a great desire on the part at this stage of his life, at this stage of his cognition for joe biden. i do not think he's going to run. i do think if they get rid of kamala harris, you'll see as larry elders pointed out, a revolt amopping black women voters that see this as a personal front of pushing a black woman aside that could then become possibly the next president. president pete: agree.

pete: i agree. maybe when trump announces they'll dig heels in and it'll be the people behind joe biden saying they're running again. next month is the mid terms and unleashing a torrent of speculation from who should lead that ticket, who should go, will donald trump announce? who else announces? we are just on the cusp of a political season and just when the left was telling us the red wave ain't going to happen, a lot of other news came in. a lot of people pointing to when ron desantis sent the illegals to martha's vineyard as far as crystallizing the conversation on illegal tay and the crime in america and inflation and the economy continues to go south. if those define the midterms, it could be a big republican night or now it'll be weeks at this point based on elections and that reshuffles the whole deck on what's viable. rachel: absolutely. good points.

pete: few headlines with this. joe biden firing back at vladamir putin after the russian president escalated nuclear threats following the annexation of four regions in ukraine. >> our nato allies is defending every single inch of nato territory. every sin -l inch. mr. putin, don't misunderstand what i'm saying, every inch. pete: okay. yesterday putin signed anti-seek annexation odderrer and says russia will defend that territory by any means necessary. flags flying at half staff in new york city in honor of fallen fdny lieutenant russo. she was stabbed 19 times in unprovoked attack while on active duty thursday. the murder suspect has a history of course of mental illness out

on the street. the new york post posted for 2018 he was posted by russell instead of being emotionally disturbed and the funeral held on wednesday and you remember her and those are your headlines. rachel: thank you, pete. still ahead, chilling new details in the killing of a georgia mother and we now know she was in a car accident with an ex-con months before she disappeared. nancy grace has been following the case and she's going to join us live next. will: ian's devastation continues as people across the southeast start to pick up the pieces.

rachel: welcome back to "fox & friends". chilling details in the death of georgia mom debbie collier and new 911 calls reveal debbie was in an accident with a mysterious ex-con truck driver a month before her disappearance. >> from my notes, she was in an accident several months ago and the driver was trying to

convince my sister not to tell the cops that he was driving because he was out on pr pr pard there was a stipulation to his parole he couldn't drive. rachel: nancy grace has been following this case and joins us now. nancy, this is a very interesting development. does it raise red flags for you that this, you know, she had an accident with somebody who was on parole? >> yes, it does. if in fact that is correct. now, police have confirm that had she did have a fender bender prior to her being found dead, but they also state they don't know if that's what the daughter was talking about. now, you're hearing a woman that claims to be the sister of debbie collier, diane shirley. she says she got this information from debbie collier's daughter amanda. i find it interesting that cops don't confirm that fender bender

was with an ex-con and the stipulations on parole usually do not include, unless you're dui, if it's a con, that means a felony, habitual violator dui and very rarely is there a stipulation you're not supposed to drive. the parole board wants you to drive or walk to work. that's an odd stipulation and why a month later does an ex-con track her down? sounds more like very farfetched let me just say. on every police report, cops get the name of both parties so we would have that in police files if that scenario were in fact connected to this case. rachel: i always trust your instincts, nancy and they're bearing out yesterday that debbie's murder was personal and targeted and not likely the act of random serial killer. >> absolutely. when i read the headlines that there was a serial killer involved, i don't know where

that cock mamie idea came about and cops will look at those closest to her. why a guy that works at a bank would be working on a sadder morning. ever gone to a bank open on a sadder morning? i haven't. he was -- saturday morning. he's with the optimist using that parking lot for traffic. for the georgia game so that's why he was there. that's been confirmed. there from after 9:00 to 4:00 p.m. and that's a big deal and they always look at husband or lover first. he was there at the time debbie goes missing. now, we're looking at who's left standing. rachel: yeah, absolutely. look at family first. so is that -- you think they're on the right path here? you think that looking at the family and what do you make of the fact that it's her sister calling in trying to get them off the track of the husband and the lover? >> well, i think the sister is trying to help. i don't know that she's

necessarily trying to lead cops down the garden path. it's sop, you always look at the family, the lover, the boyfriend, the ex-first. that dunned mean that they did it. i also find it very interesting, you know, the daughter amanda bearsly moved home two days before, 48 hours after she moves home, her mother is dead. is that connected? i don't know, but there's so many odd circumstances surrounding this, but right now cops are saying they know the venmo was sent to the daughter but they don't know where the money is, nearly $3,000, and they don't know if it was sent from debbie collier's phone. i feel this venmo for nearly $3,000 sent before she goes missing in the minutes before she goes missing may be the key to solving this case. rachel: yeah, i've never venmoed anybody $3,000. that's a lot of money. >> you can do it from other phone if you have the account log in like logging into your

e-mail from a computer. it doesn't have to come from her phone. rachel: that's a good point. debbie collier deserves justice and i love that you stay on these cases, nancy. again, if you want to see more from her crime stories with nancy grace on foxnation.com, it's one of my favorite shows, make sure you watch. thank you, nancy. always great having you on. coming up, hurricane ian slams south carolina turning beach towns like myrtle beach into swamps. south carolina congresswoman nancy mace is next with an update.

pete: collier county reporting that their 911 services are down.

tragically 30 people have been confirmed dead, 27 in florida. more than 1 million people in florida are still without power, but that's -- compare that to yesterday, that's an improving number. ian making third and final landfall in south carolina yesterday battering the east from the atlantic side as a hurricane before surging inland as a post-tropical cyclone. several piers including this one on pawley's island collapsing due to the storm surge. let's now check in with chief meteorologist rick reichmuth for the fox weather forecast. hey, rick. >> pretty crazy. some of the storm surge in south carolina and north carolina were third and fourth highest ever and pretty amazing and even the impacts from the category 1 storm coming on shore yesterday and the weather map in florida. this is your recovery forecast and temps throughout the day today into the low to mid 80s and we warm up a little tomorrow into the mid maybe a few upper 80s but overall tons of sunshine and no precipitation in the forecast. it's been rainy season, the rainy season is pretty much over

and this storm kind of ushers out all of the moisture and we're not going to be seeing a return to any significant rain, which is great news. i want to take you through the recovery forecast and parts of the carolinas as well. temperatures into the 70s and couple degrees cooler tomorrow and getting in towards monday and temps for a high to the mid 60s and same for the mid to upper 60s by tuesday. much cooler forecast for parts of the carolinas and overnight lows cooler than that so if you're without power, going to be uncomfortable. two branches of rain from what was ian. one of them is moving in towards parts of long island and southern new england and another bit out across parts of west virginia and look quickly at future model throughout the day today and you see kind of those two pieces of energy splitting there a little bit. eventually that one on the left is the one that will move out slower and takes us all the way into monday before it f fully

gone. will to you. will: south carolina getting slammed by hurricane ian and leaving more than 60,000 still without power. property destroyed including north myrtle beach and cherry grove pier collapses there from the storm surge. we have south carolina congresswoman nancy mace on the show with us. how is your state this morning? >> we, we're dealing with power outages right now and myself included and charleston dodged a bullet. really the area between charleston and myrtle beach got hammered yesterday with a historic storm surge almost as high as hurricane hugo 31 years ago that was a category 1 surge. on the island where i live, we had a fire because of power outages and garden city between charleston and myrtle beach like florida and once the flooding resided, there were fires on some of the property and we've been dealing with that and on my way here today, i saw over a

dozen utility and electrical utility trucks headed north to the area to help restore power for the 60 or so thousand residents across the coast that do not have it right now. will: yeah power outages, flooding, where does this go now? what's the biggest concern for your residents as the storm begins to move on, we've learned some of the biggest dangers lie in its wake. >> right. with utility poles down, fires are always going to be with water around and fires going to be a particular issue. i want to thank governor henry mcmaster and president biden for working together when the governor issued his emergency declaration on wednesday and this is a very unpredictable storm and beginning our emergency centers up and running and getting the president's approval on that. we now have access to resources for disaster relief and in these search and recovery assistance we need, we'll get that help because of that, and i appreciate that and the other thing i want to say too is that it's remarkable to see under governor ron desantis'

leadership where there was almost 3 million people without power and 40 yours later, 1 million left. people are working around the clock and very hard in south carolina and florida volunteering their time and, working overtime to help people in desperate need today. will: really quickly, congresswoman, you brought up the relief effort and ron desantis' leadership and credited the white house as well. i'm curious your thoughts, your member of congress and the vice president saying in terms of relief, we need to consider equity and race-based initiatives in providing disaster relief. >> it's fair to say we want to make sure everyone no matter the color of their skin, zip code and gender there's access to same resources and funds and that's fair for everybody, but we don't want to just pick people based on race or gender. everyone, storms are not republican, they're not democrat. they don't identify who you are based on what you look like. everyone should get relief no matter what. that's just a given, and i don't see any governor, especially in south carolina or florida, you

know, making decisions based on race. that's kind of crazy. we would never do that. will: that's good to hear and the way you described it, access for everyone is equality picking people then in terms of race, that's equity. we need to be careful about the language being professed from leadership. congresswoman nancy mace. thank you. the fox corporation donated here 1 million to the red cross hurricane ian relief efforts and providing aid and resources like shelter, meals, medical supplies and more to those impacted. fox is doing a double matching program for employees donating to the red cross hurricane relief efforts that includes ian and fiona. our thoughts and prayers with everyone affected by the storm, including our own teams in tampa and orlando. thank you to all of our fox weather, fox news channel and fox tv station teams across the country who are covering this disaster. if you'd like to join in, visit

redcross.org/foxforward. still ahead, it's been one year since merrick garland asking fbi to morgantown parents at school board meetings. a mom fighting for parents rights ever since joins us live. plus, a terrifying warning for florida in florida. 911 services down in one county as search and rescue efforts are underway, the latest on ian's impacts still ahead.

pete: one year ago attorney general merrick garland asked the fbi to investigate parents at school board meetings. it was at the request of this letter from the national school board's association, which compared protesting to domestic terrorism. viola garcia that wrote that letter now serves on the department of education's national assessment governor board. while that -- while the association of school boards retracted that letter, the doj has not apologized to parents. here to react is parents defending education founder nicole neily. it's important we remember these

things and don't forget them a year later. are they still pursuing this? what's the status right now of school boards and parents? >> absolutely. house judiciary member jim jordan revealed a number of whistle blowers has come forward saying the fbi has shown up at their door. through an fbi whistle blower that the fbi create add threat to edu officials to track down these people and a lot of people suspected this was intend to chill the politicalization of parks and shame on the government and not restricting that letter. pete: has it had the intended affect and chilling effect on parents and now it's amid covid and we're past that and plenty of reasons to protest and has it created a chill? >> absolutely. in the weeks following the release of doj memo, people were scared. department of justice, you say fbi and people think maybe i shouldn't go and speak up and maybe i should stay home this time. what we saw in the weeks and months following that initial

freight was that people said -- fright was say how dare you weaponnize federal law enforcement against me because i have a constitutional right to petition my government for redress grievances and parent haves a number of well founded concerns about their schools and they're not backing down and if anything it engendered a greater backlash blowing up in their face. pete: the threat is potential of a threat tag and identified by somebody somewhere and they're a threat for speaking out. what's your advice to a parent these days who still sees gender pronouns for second grader and curriculum and what are they doing? >> we speak to parents every day of the week telling them their rights and the red line and if and when the schools cross the line, they're justified in speaking up and we tell people, threats are not appropriate and vines is not appropriate but at the end of the day, we've seen over the past two years, the gate keepers we thought had our

children's best interest at heart and teachers union and school boards and ptas do not and care about money and we tell people if not you, then who? if not guilty now then when? we encourage people to speak up and walk them through the process. >> we cannot relent despite the threats and, nicole, thank you for doing what you're doing for parents across the country. we toss it over to will. will: thank you, pete. we begin with this, the man accused of killing this north dakota teenager with his suv are facing chargings and republican extremist on september 18 and arrested and released on $50,000 bond and no power or curfew. original charge of vehicular homicide was dismissed yesterday after being upgraded to murder. a recent op ed states nine different law student groups

from the university are vowing to exclude speakers who support israel or zionism. the author of the op ed joined us earlier to discuss. >> it's a matter of excluding zionist voices from campus and a blatant violation of american law. you can't close nine doors even if other doors are left open. every space needs open to everyone. will: they claim it's a jewish-free zone. white house chief of staff ron claim wine lands a new gig as ambassador for plants and animals. monica medina is envoy for bio-diversity and resources. here's more. >> first time an ambassador to plants has been appointed by a vegetable. yes, administration that lost

afghanistan in days thinks it can negotiate with grizzly be bears. will: the biden white house announcing new council to attack -l what was used as lack of diversity across the federal government and those are your headlines. still ahead, as the southeast struggles to recover from hurricane ian, charities are here to help. the group's vice president, who is billy graham's grandson joins us next. according to sarasota county sheriff, fire personnel plan to go door to door encouraging evacwayses. more on what we know -- evacuations. more on what we know this morning.

pete: sheriffs in sarasota county going door to door this morning warning residents after a possible levy break. we've been getting conflicting information on this all morning. now the sheriff's department confirming door to door as a nearby river overflows. will: scary that . flooding also shutting down some of i-75 near north port. that's where this traffic you're seeing now was seen last night. rachel: our next guest is part of the christian relief organization, which is already

deployed teams ready to help with ian's aftermath. edward graham is the vice president of operations for samaritans first and son of franklin graham and joins us now. you have sufficient an amazing organization -- such an amazing organization, edward, and you do so much for so many. what's going on right now? what is your team facing as they attempt to help the people of florida at this moment? >> thank you, rachel. the team got in there really about two days ago, and they were assessing, got our trucks down there to based here out of north carolina, and they've already set up in two churches. we always work through the local church with the volunteer teams and set up in engelwood florida and fort meyers. this is kind of the epicenter and we're seeing complete destruction of homes. they were flooded out, horrible roof and wind damage and our teams go in and they cut back debris to get to the homes, they put tarps on the roof, and they mud out homes so mold doesn't come in and quickly get homeowners back in there.

you see a lot of mobile homes, elderly people that retire in the communities and a lot of those ryan higgins completely destroyed -- were completely destroyed and a lot of devastation. pete: a lot of times videos and images don't do justice of what's happening on the ground. you've got so much experience in the area. describe for our viewers how this compares or the scope of the damage in the places you're omitterring. >> yeah -- operating. >> we go to a lot of storms, tornadoes, fires, earthquakes but something like an hurricane that's wide and damage in destruction. this is a bad one. the storm surge alone but the wind damage. we're going to be there for quite a long time. usually some can be weeks, this will be months-long recovery ask it's going to take a long time for the communities like fort meyers and may never truly be like before. there's great volunteers that always show up and want to serve in the disasters and right now there's no water. electricity is off. these volunteers start today going out and they'll be a lot from local volunteers, but the

overnighters will have to dry camp because even with the generators and power water, it's the issue with water and clean drinking water the homeowners are dealing with. this is a bad one. our team's reporting some horrible numbers in what they're seeing in homes destroyed and i ask that your viewers pray for florida and central florida trying to climb out of this. will: just to follow up, edward, on pete's question and we're watching images on our screen, and it looks terrible. one of the types of images that often brings it home are the satellite images where you see exactly how broad and big the scope. you said you're getting numbers from people on the ground. any idea how many people we're talking about here have been displaced? we've talked about people who might have died, but how many people affected by the storm? >> yeah, i mean you're talking tens and thousands affected with homes either destroyed or possibly damaged. going into a community like this, every roof will have some kind of wind damage or ripped off and some of the nice metal

roofs. when the winds are that powerful and right out of category 50, 5e come in and tarp and if we don't do that, the mold comes from the top down. that's the worst. when the flooding happens, you can cut the drywall back and get it dried quick. it's when the roofs get destroyed that's the problem and we'll quickly tarp the roofs and thousands of roofs you'll see with blue samaritan's purse tarps out there and we do this and respond because we want people to know that jesus has not fore saken them. we immediate their immediate needs first and want to love our neighbor and know that jesus christ loves them even more. rachel: that's what i love about your organization. you're not just on the ground helping and not afraid to pray with the people you're helping and giving them the home of christ. good bless all of you at samaritan's purse. go to samaritanspurse.org to learn how to help. pete: thank you, edward. >> thank you. pete: we're continuing to track

a possible heavy break in florida where first responders are going door-to-door to evacuate residents and the sarasota county sheriff will join us at the top of the hour. and congressman greg stooby giving an update on hurricanela iar n efforts. stay with us.

♪ pete: we begin with a fox news alert as remnants of ian continue to devastate the southeast. sheriff's deputies in sarasota county warning residents after a possible levee break. we haven't been able to confirm that yet, but we're getting early indications that may have occurred as a nearby river overflows. will: that flood being also shutting down some of i-75 near if northport. that's where this traffic was seen last night. rachel: wow. will: also this morning, a terrifying warning out of
