florida has seen in a century. spill in the next 12-18 hours are critical for the people in the sunshine states. lived in washington and a highway in collier county, the roads jam-packed and very light traffic as the window to evacuate its closing. the shot appears to be frozen but that traffic is typically moving, serra. >> sandra: they were people trying to get out and the mixed decided to hunker down and in his home sarasota area and we will get an update from him how he and his wife are preparing for the storm. >> john: for first, steve harrigan, as usual, where a live action is going to happen down tampa's camp that, what do you see down there? >> john, tampa officials have to be happy with what we are seeing down here very few are no cards on the road and people eating the evacuation orders. perhaps the biggest difference between the storm and when hit

two weeks ago where it hit the last storm and hurricane helene a population 6,600 and population health tampa bay where this could hit 3.3 million here just of the potential for damage for catastrophic damage much higher at this point. when we talk to people we asked them about evacuations and even the people leaving the scene still say they have a lot to fear. here is what they had to say. >> we are worried something to come back to because there was debris on the streets from the people that emptied their houses from the last hurricane that not picked up and you can only pick up so much stuff. that step will be flying all over the place. i don't know why door if we have something to go back to. >> i'm scared and worried my house. i'm right on the water at the storm surge will be pretty bad down there. >> so you hear that fear, fear from people leaving and afraid what they might leave and they

may have no home to come back to. the national guard and florida excels in forces but they will be out and about until the bid speed gets below 40 miles an hour. john, back to you. >> john: we heard from the coast guard confidant, will not be able to operate until after the hurricane passed by. anybody staking in an area that will be flooded will be on their own for a long time, steve come on, thank you, sandra. >> sandra: sarasota county where the next guest will hunker down with his wife, and jeff, welcome to the program and thank you for coming on. when i look at the model of the hurricane and its path, you are directly -- you could take a direct hit. why have you decided to wait this one out? >> well, sandra, this is our first calendar year of living in the area and we move down here from minnesota where we were

veritably blizzard experts. to come down here and experience the three large ones recently with debbie and hurricane helene and now milton, what is really, really something to watch. we live in a relatively new home, newer area which helps a lot and we are outside of the evacuees own not mandated to leave. but we thought we would give it a shot. we have done a few things to help success, hopefully. speed tooth we wish the best for you and i know you are taking precautions. we have a live look at sarasota. exactly where you are in sarasota is important and you are 15 miles inland but still do to feel dramatic effects from the storm. i know you are taking preparations along with your wife and you were talking to me about putting towels and the windows and you are prepared because you mentioned your home is newer and you have hurricane

glass. tell us a little bit more about how you are preparing for this. >> so we have stock in our freezer with food. here to be have two events. we have the event itself, which is the destructive part, high winds, et cetera and they may the aftermath event, which can go on for days depending on power, depending on a number of situations. so we have ice bursting in our freezer where we fueled up our shower tub with water and plumbing needs. they have cleared off our lanai deck. we had things out on that. that is all now in the garage. we have got a neighbor who allowed us to utilize their garage for our other car which helped quite a bit as well.

so, it has alleviated all of our fears? no, but certainly, i think the homework so to speak we have done should help our chances. >> sandra: jeff, we have pictures and we showed the cleared off lanai and you send us pictures of that. you have the golf cart with the questions for the lanai furniture. we have those precautions. i know you are starting to see the weather affects there. and i know that part of the process of preparing as you have sort of banded together with your neighbors and you know who has what resources and if things did get pretty bad, you know the you will go to for certain things. lastly tell us a little bit about that. >> so our neighborhood has got a nice tight-knit community. we've had several conversations in the street, whatever what are you doing and how can we help and really kind of meaning

together as a neighborhood to use kind of best practices over the years that people have found to help with this type of an event. so, it has really been a group effort. speed to jeff, i should probably tell the audience we go back many, many years and you are childhood family friends. and praying for you and pulling for you and your wife an entire neighborhood. i know you said some in your neighborhood evacuated and some decided to stay out. you are not in a mandatory evacuation order, important to point out that you are in the path of the storm or do we hope you get through this and best of luck to you and thank you for joining us. speak i thank you, sandra, appreciate it. speed to buy the mates are you outside right now? are you getting for strong winds right now? >> yes. it looks like it's getting a little lighter.

hurricane party. i went and checked within the next day and part the wall down by the garage had been pushed and i said how was your hurricane party? the worst decision we ever made. we spent all night screaming as the storm came through. word to the wise. speed there will be some stories, best of luck to jeff and his family. ♪ ♪ >> without powers, nothing the biggest problem is not having drinkable water. >> these people need help and have lost everything they have like me and a lot of other people. businesses, houses, everything. their lives are displaced. >> you can't get there, it is like an island. my house is there in my car is there. >> john: mountain region still caught cut off from civilization hurricane helene catastrophic wedding at the western part of the st state. in north carolina, how is the

from meteorologist jane. >> the very latest. >> joined the coverage of fox weather. they are on the big screen and can give us an idea of the path of the storm right now and in a change is the last few minutes so, on in here. >> the last 24 hours. >> sandra: do you mind if we join your broadcast? you have the technology to tell us what is happening right now. >> we got the advisory of the top of the hour this has brand-new information breaking down. not a big change but the storm headline is that it is growing. that is the biggest problem because more people will be feeling peace impacts. still cat 4 wins 100 miles an hour and ever so slightly 16 miles to the northeast. it is sitting 150 miles or so from tampa off to the southwest. we will watch this really closely. but do you see these two lines here? you have the core of the storm and the second band.

>> sandra: yes. >> that is what is starting to drive the wobbles. that is so important in the hours leading up to landfall and ultimately what this thing is going to go sbc it approach the shore. i mean, milton is here and we feel the impacts 60 tornado warning so far today. >> sandra: for example right now, we are talking sarasota area where we know obviously they have been under preparations and evacuated the coastal areas most of them if i should say not all of them. the possibilities of the storm moving to the north or the south, where is your next prediction if this starts to change directions and heads to the coast? what is the likely which direction should go? >> tampa bay is still in the game. bradenton into sarasota is the area we are watching for maybe seeing the biggest surge. but at this point in time, variability there that it is how

comfortable even a meteorologist to watch as that is pushing in. at the core of this is so high up on north side. so even if it makes landfall just to the south of the impact, they will be in the core of some of the worst of the winds and that rain that will continue to push and, might i add in the dark of night. speed to 125 miles an hour and what to expect as far as time now think this makes landfall tonight? >> those wobbles will be key expecting a little bit of a slow upset in general give or take midnight. soup with that pushing onshore, losing all of our senses since we can't see what is happening as that surge crashes and, women's pickup and the warm in the early morning hours getting into don's when we see that kickoff to the east coast. >> sandra: wow i know folks are concerned about that landfall overnight when you could lose our and you have blackness you can't see in front of you. we see a lot of the effects of

this storm as far south as we were showing key west. i mean, it is stirred up everywhere. >> just issued second most days for tornado. since ian. so that tells you the nature of this. but search is still the biggest concern and that tornado risk we are following. >> sandra: think you for what will make letting us come into the fox weather center. check back ensued soon, thank you, jane. >> john: we need to hijack the studio and porta braces for another major storm, j.d. vance not giving the biden administration response to hurricane helene. the breaking of the white house. joining us in the studio is bret baier, anchor an executive of "the special report." georgia, north carolina, georgia and florida, of course 30 days out. >> i want to say how cool it was

for synergy between fox news and fox weather. the studio's great listen, the recovery in the relief efforts north carolina are a big deal not only the voting in north carolina which is one of the seven swing states and how those people would get votes and what that will do to the election numbers but what they are feeling and what they are hearing from people on the ground as you heard from madison and officials. j.d. vance is right up in "the wall street journal" with his op-ed here to if you go down the timeline matches, it is accurate. he make some accusations in here that obviously some republicans have pushed back on in those states, senator thom tillis in some of the governors edited fema f for all they have been doing to get into the mountainous areas. but it is still a massive story that could be weeks for the towns to recover. >> john: you said a, this has "the wall street journal" up at, biden-harris mismanage hurricane helene and the white house tried to shift

fema's priorities and let the citizen suffering for days. joe scarborough on msnbc -- okay, a good word for it a lie and how can "the wall street journal" did this but as pointed out "the wall street journal" went through the announcements at the white house and said nothing in here factually incorrect. speak of the and everything is right. and i have the fema administration on about the pots of money and moving money for the shelter migrant program did not come from the disaster relief signs that he's pointing out that fema can move priorities and move money around as it wishes. also, this idea you can give lebanon $157 million that if you need more hurricane relief cocoa congress has to come back and approve a bill. >> john: the administration was on the ground before hand and it is tough to get to mountainous communities that they are doing the best they

can. stay with us. there is money there and they will draw on next year's budget. so don't worry about coming up to fema official and saying, i need help here to they need to get it. >> there was a delay in authorizing military needs and there will be a lot to dissect in the months ahead. but them will make white house has gone fully down this rabbit hole of misinformation here to listen what biden said what time i go. >> former president trump has led onslaught of lies. assertions that property is being compensated and that simply not true. people impacted by the storm receives $750 in cash and no more. that is simply not true. they are saying the money is needed for this crisis is being diverted to migrants. what a ridiculous thing to say! >> john: on everything, alejandra may arcus talked

about. >> they feel it is a good respect to the former president and they want to make sure people know they can get money and it will not stop $750. and three, to point out that they were there. again, the timeline is in accra as far as the days it took for north carolina. here is what is happening now, getting ready for militant and there is a lot of activity in florida thanks in part to florida governor ron desantis, who has been through this many, many times and working directly with president biden on the phone. >> john: i have a couple of things to get to. you have the spokesperson for harris responding to what she said on the view, would you have done anything differently? there is not a thing i could think of. listen. >> she said actually one thing i would have done differently and president biden is committing to a point of republicans to my cabinet. stay when i was listening to that on my show last night with all due respect to mr. sands,

that is all you got? i think i may have said that, that is it question like that is my next question. >> this and, that was a bad day the fallout from the "60 minutes" interview and by the way race has a lot of questions how it was edited on the program and what didn't air and how it was put together but still bill whitaker asking follow-ups. stay when he did a good job. >> "the view," and ian sands, a tough job and had a tough job yesterday but i think that was the question for a lot of people. >> john: you have a big message for both campaigns here. >> yes, we are officially inviting trump campaign and harris campaign to a final debate we call it a closing argument in pennsylvania, thursday, october 24th, or sunday, october 27th and 1 of those two options. it would to be the same rules as cnn or nbc and it would be

martha maccallum and me moderating. we hope the campaigns take us up on it. we think there is one more chance to try to make this happen. we will see if they do. >> john: good deal and let me know what they say. message delivered, sandra. >> sandra: small and link community in western florida completely evacuated as it sits squarely in the crossroads of this hurricane, treasure island mayor taylor king will beearl joining us live next to react. lock in their gains, and when the market goes down, they don't lose anything. we keep it simple. our clients earn in a reasonable rate of return and they don't lose money. if you have at least $100,000 to invest, get your investor's guide and see if it's right for you.

the south side of the storm. we had 7 feet of storm surge during helene in most homes throughout the city 2-3 feet of water in them. in that scenario, people were able to stay and climb on the countertops if they needed to. bay into direct hit, 10-15-foot of storm surge, that is an survivable. most of the structures on the island are single-family homes on the first floor and at that point, there is nowhere to go. that is why evacuation orders are extremely important. >> sandra: obviously, part of the debris left behind and i know you talked about the fact that you had to am or suspend operations and remove debris once you sell melting coming your way. so, how could that affect the storm all of this debris left behind and what is to come? >> as you can see in the video that you are playing right now,

we have debris management site and are central part of our little town where all of the debris that is being collected from the roadside of people's residence is getting put until we can truck it off and requirements that would have to meet for fema reimbursement. not only that ed is still sitting there, but also, there is so much left at the curb in front of people's houses can become projectiles if the storm gives us a really strong winds. i know that is the case all up and down the barrier islands as far as south as the sarasota area. as looking like it is going now. ana maria and other key places like that, they are struggling with the same thing. so, that is really what makes the evacuation order so much more important now than ever because all of that is still out there. >> sandra: i know we have got some pictures here of sarasota.

i believe have live shots of anne-marie island as well if we are able to put those up, some live shots come and go. that when it's frozen at the moment. mayor, the last thing i want to ask you about helene and obviously deadly examples in unfortunately, you did do some. the deadly storm surge was a huge problem and first responders were not able to get to those folks. you received direct text messages saying houses on fire but you could not help them and get people to them. did you learn anything from that or are you doing anything differently this time around? >> i don't think we are doing anything differently on our side. just trying to communicate better to people which we always have. once we evacuate the island, our first responders, police officers, firefighters and sheriff are unable to come out and help you. our sheriff and one at the press conferences earlier this week said he received over 1,500

calls on his radio that during the last storm, they were unable to do anything at all about, which is truly heartbreaking. so, it is so important that people leave. we cannot put our first responders in danger in a situation like this. it is not just about protecting your property. but you have to protect your life. that is more important. >> sandra: mayor tyler payne, thank you for joining us best to all of you. we are praying for the first responders who will eventually have to step in and be situations. thank you very much. >> thank you. spin went such a lovely place to live. the white house going all in on this information surrounding hurricane helene response, but is it misinformation? democratic pollster, doug schoen coming up on that. ♪ ♪
