the cleanup effort the repair efforts underway. the department of transportation and tow trucks as well. a lot of residents talking about vehicles that they lost. we've also talked to people who say they feel fortunate as the storm has gone away. >> well, my grandmother built the house about 60 years ago. we have had to rebuild it five times now. it is appropriately named is still standing. so thankfully it is still standing. >> that it is paired with a few feet from the house called still standing its strong and sturdy it is still here. a lot of the homes are up on the stilts. the water came in, went under, came back out a lot of folks losing vehicles underneath park underneath. and all sorts of items are looking for missing stuff today but what we are hearing consistently across the state is a feeling of good fortune this was not as bad as it could have been. it's not as bad as some the storms they've seen here in the past like arma.

down in florida and elsewhere. what do you worry about the most when we seize the pictures coming out of florida? >> it's heartbreaking what we are seeing there. my biggest concern are the most vulnerable population, our seniors, are elderly who may be live alone. maybe they do not have electricity they don't have anyone to reach out too. the battery died in their cell phone maybe they misplace their medications in the flooding or it got wet or got damaged. but it is not just the floodwaters we are worrying about. it's what happens in the aftermath. not just the hurricane for there is concern again because of bacteria, because of parasites because of fungus. there is the potential for injury and illness. so we have to take those things into consideration. the most common injuries we see after a hurricane are puncture wounds, strains, lacerations. was he let a fever, cough upper respiratory tract a lot of g.i. upset vomiting and diarrhea. these are things we have to be

aware of so we can either treat it or try to prevent it. it is a challenge. special if you are still stranded and cannot get rescued maybe you do not have a cell phone tower in your area. that is why it is so important to heed the warnings and the recommendations from the local official student get out of harms way. that is not always the case. but hopefully they are trying down there as best as they can to get the victim's medical care, mental care. getting wound care, first aid, that type of thing. >> you mentioned medicines that so important. a lot of people evacuated. take your medicines with you and your medication. have extra batteries and your flashlights. try to be prepared if indeed you did stay and sit tight. authorities will eventually get to you. but obviously the other point we talk about it has been an incredible strain and emotional impact to come back to your home to see your belongings

destroyed. to see your home destroyed or severely damaged. let on the impact of water when you're home floods. how do we deal with that and how do psychologists deal with that? >> that is a great question. fortunately there's going to beat mental health hotlines was going to be mental health counselors to help deal with the anxiety, depression, the posttraumatic stress that we will see in a natural disaster like this one. when it comes to going back home, one of the biggest things were going to see is mold and mildew. it isn't best to try to get your home cleaned out, aired out, dried out as soon as possible to avoid the mildew and the mold. that can cause asthma exacerbations, respiratory inflammation, coughing and that sort of thing. if you are indoors and ready to clean up makes you first protect your self. what does that mean? make sure you are wearing gloves. you don't know what you're going to be in contact with. whether it's a chemical or bacteria something in the floodwater that may have contaminated your belongings. protect yourself by wearing

gloves. also make sure if you smell anything you mount to wear a mask. the amount to be careful and call 911. it's important to protect your body when you are cleaning when you are disinfecting. if you come across something that is not washable it is recommended by the cdc to toss it out. other things like toys if it is washable then you can claim you can disinfect it and clean it. now you are outdoors safety is a priority. first of all you want to be careful we've got trees that may be ready to fall. we've got power lines. you want to make sure the environment outdoors is safety again protective shoes, boots, we do not want lacerations. we didn't why you stepping on nails and stuff to take into consideration the wildlife where volvos where i protective are going to be outdoors pre-fema put out some recommendations if you going to be cleaning up around the home to make separate piles one a pile for broken furniture. one pile per damage electronics that sort of thing.

these are the things you want to do in the aftermath to protect yourself so you don't injure yourself pretty do not get a puncture, and abrasion a laceration. that does happen you want to make sure you clean out the abrasion or the skin loaned with soap and water. or an ulcer you some people walking through the waters will trench foot that can become serious if that's not treated properly. >> trench foot? >> yes trench foot. that is when you walk in the waters for long periods of time in the skin can become ulcerated. it can result in breakage of the skin and infections like cellulitis or staph infections or strep infections. even tetanus can happen but fortunately these things are treatable. if you feel like you're sick or injured to the best you can to seek medical care right away.

eric: and of course was some flooding and flash flooding expected over the next few days further up north do not drive into standing water. i know people think i can do but you get stuck. >> is dangerous. try to keep that in mind. stay home if you can and stay safe. dr. janette nesheiwat, always good to see you. >> thanks eric always good to see you too. arthel: well, florida governor desantis is expected to speak soon on hurricane recovery efforts as soon as the governor start speaking at that press conference, we will bring it to you live when it begins. the stick right here on fox n news. ser drilled holes. they release medicine fast for fast pain relief. and now get relief without a pill with tylenol dissolve packs. relief without the water.

arthel: yesterday marked the end of september and it could not come too soon on wall street. the markets closed out the month with losses across the board. the dow fell nearly 9%.

its worst monthly decline since march 2021 covid ed lockdowns began. so, where does the economy go from here? let's bring in peter's former u.s. international trade commission chief and economists and business professor at the university of maryland. first of all i want to start with why? why can't wall street stabilize? >> a lack of confidence in the fed. inflation is clearly out of control in this sense we keep hearing it has peaked when it hasn't. the data says it hasn't. and this concern that interest rates are going to go a lot heart higher. it's hard to plan investments if you do not know where interest rates are going. bonds are a substitute for stocks for example and things of that nature. arthel: end of this is going to happen i do have to go to the governor of florida. he has an update on recovery efforts and we have time we will come back to you. right now were going live to florida which is about 70 miles east of tampa here's the

governor. >> those are obviously very catastrophic images. this is a massive storm that really had a massive water dumped all over the state. the interior of the state all the way out to the east coast of florida. and so right here we came in. i saw some via air we were able to drive around and see some of the water. it is really, really significant. is able to mute they resident the entire home was underwater. they had to flee. we are sensitive about not just the areas on the news all the time, but all the other areas throughout florida. this whole thing right here this emergency vehicle we dispatch to hardy county before the hurricane even hits because they were having problems with her eoc. we wanted to make sure they had the ability to conduct emergency operations should that need arise. it was interesting by sunday i don't think hardy was even in the cone. and then it kind of shifted and

people were trying to figure out. the bottom line is you have this here. you had a lot of great people on the scene helping. and you've done a lot of water rescues here in hardy. big time. that is been very helpful for a lot of the residence to be brought to safety. you have residents here who have gone through a lot of hurricanes. this one had more water than any of those hurricanes by far. it's a situation you really have a life-threatening flooding going on in some of the neighborhoods right here in this part of florida. so we are looking. we understand they're working on connectivity. we understand there working on cell phone service. we understand they are working on getting the electrical back. we wanted to be helpful as best we could we are working with elon musk and he's got the star link. he has been repositioning those to be over this part of florida. we are able to give these i guess that comes from there to hear and then you can get the internet off this with your

device. so these are really important things. we have been able to bring these up for use here in hardy county by the emergency personnel and however else they want to use it. we are also getting probably about 120 over the next 24 ho hours. we will provide to some here but you can put those in different parts of the community and people can then connect if they are in close enough proximity to one of these devices. it is coming from space to hear and then on to your device. you cannot get the connectivity straight from your device from the satellite unless you have these things. these are very, very important we are happy to be able to bring that here. hopefully that will assist with some of the connectivity issues. i know people are working really hard to get all the services back online. but in the inter- meeting. we want to make sure you have the support here. i want to thank everybody who's been involved in this effort. we've got people down here in hardy county from all over the state helping out. of course we've had florida

highway patrol but you have your local sheriff you've got your local police, first responders have been very important. the support they have gotten from people there are people from oregon here in hardy county helping out on this effort. as much as you hate having to see this and go through it, people do come together and they stepped up. they have been doing that here in a very big way. we are proud of the resilience we have seen here in hardy county. and i know we've seen in some of the neighboring counties as well. i have director here she's going to say a few things and then we will have our commissioner of education manny diaz say a few things. >> hello. thank you so much for coming. >> governor ron desantis they are in florida. just marveling at the very great efforts the part of his emergency management teams there in florida.

and also relate thankful for all of the help coming outside the state as well print mentioning a team coming in from oregon. also getting a shout out sourced to elon musk and how he is working with the florida governor there in terms of future connectivity. using solar panels and new ways of providing electricity if you will. in the meantime they're working very hard for the traditional electric grid to get back on online. that is everything. you've got people down there who are not only just dealing with no lights but no power to supply oxygen tanks and the like. and to keep medications refrigerated. so electricity is very important. the governor ron desantis in florida saying they're on top of it. there working as quickly and diligently as they can get people back online and as soon as possible. so here the fox news channel could be updated on everything happening there in florida. south carolina and puerto rico.

(other money manager) well, you must earn commissions on trades. (fisher investments) never at fisher investments. (other money manager) ok, then you probably sneak in some hidden and layered fees. (fisher investments) no. we structure our fees so we do better when clients do better. that might be why most of our clients come from other money managers. at fisher investments, we're clearly different.
