manuel bojorquez is on the coast in fort lauderdale. >> reporter: it is not just that these hurricane force winds and pounding rain in the fort lauderdale area, there is also the threat of tornados. in fact this afternoon we received warning after warning for tornados here as hurricane irma has spawned these, these, water spouts, these funnel clouds in the atlantic. that have moved ashore. in fact there was, one reported tornado, near fort lauderdale international airport. the concern here is also storm surge and flooding. nearly 15,000 people have dec e decided to ride out the storm at one of 20 shelters that have opened up here in broward county. there is a curfew in effect. but that did not preventsome people from not only violating it but also looting. fort lauderdale police reported they

2:16 am
here is the issue. tampa fire chief told me about an hour ago even if tampa get 3 feet of water it will be nearly impossible for his men and women to perform rescues. at this point we have not seen a patrol car or an emergency vehicle, on the road, again, there is nobody out and about right now. everybody is either hunkered down or gotten out of town. >> david, thank you very much. the green flashes that david talked about by the way, they can happen in storms like this. they can be transfixing, sometimes those are the, the transformers. we have much more coming up here. as irma continues her long trek up the florida coast. we have correspondents all around the state. and we have more next on shelters that are jammed with people, who had nowhere else to go.

warnings continue to pop up across the florida peninsula tonight. manuel bojorquez is on the coast in fort lauderdale. >> reporter: it is not just that these hurricane force winds and pounding rain in the fort lauderdale area, there is also the threat of tornados. in fact this afternoon we received warning after warning for tornados here as hurricane irma has spawned these, these, water spouts, these funnel clouds in the atlantic. that have moved ashore. in fact there was, one reported tornado, near fort lauderdale international airport. the concern here is also storm surge and flooding. nearly 15,000 people have decided to ride out the storm at one of 20 shelters that have opened up here in broward county. there is a curfew in effect. but that did not preventsome people from not only violating it but also looting.
3:12 am
they arrested nine people so far for breaking into two stores, and they say they will investigate any additional reports of looting. the county's mayor is reminding people not to let their guard down. even as the storm passes as you can see the worst effects of it could last for hours. >> there was a remarkable sight on florida's west coast as bay waters temporarily receded. as irma then pulled them out to sea. carter evans filed this report. >> you can see the wind is really picking up here. irma getting closer. the rain is going side ways. we are in sarasota. this is sarasota bay, and normally quite calm here on the bay. not today. it is full of whitecaps. and a lot of wind. and a lot of blowing rain. most people in low-lying areas have evacuated to shelters right now. there are 17,000 people in 10 shelters. about 8:00 last night.
3:13 am
interesting about the storm. what it has done to the bay here. people who live here say they haven't seen before. >> the force of the oncoming hurricane is so strong, that it is literally sucked the water right out of sarasota bay. this sea grass i am standing on is normally under a few feet of water. you can see people took advantage of, a lull in the weather to go out and take a look at this low tide. an unusual and unusual sight for sure. something that these people haven't seen before. but officials say what they're doing is very, very dangerous. they should not be letting their guards down. and going out in these lulls. because these extreme windy bands come without warning up and down the coast. back out here. you can see the bridge behind me. leads to siesta key. closed now.
3:14 am
evacuated as of 8:00 last night. there are some police officers out there who told us that when they were driving over it, just a couple hours ago, it was vibrating and shaking. so they're recommending everybody stay off the bridge right now. pretty much at this point, the hurricane is coming, and there isn't much time left, but people who are still on the island over here, well if they haven't evacuated by now, they better be prepared to hunker down. >> the tampa/st. pete area is extremely vulnerable to irma's storm surge, flood often. st. pete sits on the gulf coast. across the bay, the hills. borough river runs through tampa. david begnaud there tonight. what's happening right now? >> irma is knocking on the door of tampa, jeff. the lights are on.
3:15 am
the people are gone. a guest town right now. i have been watching as bright green flashes have lit up the horizon. apparently, transformers are blowing. the rain is intense. the wind is really picking up here. we're expecting within the next, four, six, maybe eight hours, that storm will be over us. here's what's happening quite dramatic we have been watching all day. alongside, the hills. borough river. runs through downtown. water from the river 'tis sucked out into the gulf. started at around 12:00 noon. it should have already come back in with the high tide. but here's what is happening. the hurricane is literally overriding the tide cycle. keeping this water offshore. it dropped probably 6 to 8 feet. where we are. and forecasters tell us what is going to happen when irma roars ashore through here it is going to bring with it the water associated with the high tide, but also, the storm surge. now here is the good news if there is any. forecasters are now saying the
3:16 am
storm could be a category 1 by the time it rolls into tampa. means the storm surge predictions we heard about three hours ago which could have put the surge as high as 8 feet have come down. now it may between 3 and 5 feet. here is the issue. tampa fire chief told me about an hour ago even if tampa get 3 feet of water it will be nearly impossible for his men and women to perform rescues. at this point we have not seen a patrol car or an emergency vehicle, on the road, again, there is nobody out and about right now. everybody is either hunkered down or gotten out of town. >> david, thank you very much. the green fls ashethat david talked about by the way, they can happen in storms like this. they can be transfixing, sometimes those are the, the transformers. we have much more coming up here. as irma continues her long trek up the florida coast. we have correspondents all around the state. and we have more next on shelters that are jammed with people, who had nowhere else to go.

3:22 am
to evacuate to go into shelters here in the fort myers area. because, nine out of ten deaths in a hurricane come from flooding. so, you have people that have, have taken shelter. in these emergency shelters. one woman went into lay bar today. fortunately, there were medics on scene to help her through that. if you call 911 right now. help is not coming. it is too dangerous out here for the t responders to be on roads. so, for now, people have to wait out irma before help can get to them. awe kris, thank you very much. up next head across the state and check in in orlando.
