have been category 4. going from a category 3 to a category 4, it's an increase in the amount of damage that is left in place. a lot of people think that with categories, much like earthquakes, you go from one scale to the other. it's five times an increase damage. already seeing the outer bi er bands of michael push ashore. we will see the tropical storm force winds, and we will go from 9 to noon, and 3:00 p.m., and then we have hurricane force winds and category 4 course winds. sustained gust s as much as -- miles an hour. people think they can get away from the damage on the coast by going up. once you go up 20 or 30 stories, you are increasing the wind speed by 20%. less friction. >>> and the winds tend to be stronger above some of the high rise buildings. but, there we go again. storm moves ashore, quickly pushes through southern georgia in to the afternoon hours of wednesday, and evening hours of wednesday and in the overnight hours of wednesday in to the carolinas, that's the next concern. we have h

it jumped from a category 2 to a category 4.ou can tell from the governor, the look in his eyes how nervous he was. and i asked what his biggest concern was, aside from keeping the residents safe. and he says the storm surge is the big concern for emergency managers. part of the state that have not seen these types of storm surge ever in the history, at least in modern history. right now in tallahassee, the conditions, you know, we're lucky right now. it's not raining. we do not expect that to be the case for the rest of the night. in fact, the worst of it here is expected sometime between the 6:00 p.m. hour, which we're in and around 8:00 p.m. is when things are expected to get really bad here on these streets. right now, though, thank god they're empty. wolf? >> nick valencia, thank you very much. louis uccellini is with us. were you surprised when you see the extent of this kind of damage? >> given the magnitude of this storm, and given the strong winds predates obviously the kind of damage you're seeing here. and then the st

to reach a category 5 it has to have winds of 157. we are still a category 4.strong major hurricane. this could strengthen just a little bit more before making landfall. with this storm about 50 miles from the coast we will not see that much more strengthening before it does so. hurricane force winds extend 45 miles from the center. already experiencing hurricane force winds near there, 78 miles per hour. you can see the eye of the storm just to the southwest just to the south of panama city. this is moving north northeast with storms this big you will see wobbles. it is still uncertain where exactly the satellite torm will landfall. the storm is moving at about 14 miles per hour. we will see hurricane force gusts all along this coast. and then you have to keep in mind that once the storm makes it on shore we have the back side to go. so the winds aren't going to let up for the next several hours as well as that rain and that storm surge, of course, pulling in. you were talking about six feet of water. we could see 12 to 13 feet of water there. so that water wi

there has never been a category four hurricane and close to a category five. we started the day at shell point beach, which is behind me to our south right on the beach. we had to get out of there very quickly because the water literally within five minutes started rising and coming toward us. it was up to our knees. we knew it would get much deeper. we've also seen a lot of transformer fires. power lines are coming out and fires are not being put out because the fire officials aren't out right now. everyone is taking care of their families and taking care of critical situations. the situation near the coast is scary, we think it's dire because the water is so deep. people are just waiting to see what happens to their homes and what happens to their livelihoods. back to you. >> reporter: i heard you say fenway park, that put a smile on my face in this storm knowing that the red sox won last night. we'll leave that aside. gary was talking about the sound of transformer explosions. these hurricanes have sounds. the roar of the wind which can you hear but also th

the last category is the tree planting and maintenance category. as i mentioned with prop b we are no longer requested to program funds for maintenance and only for planting. it will plant about, i think it's something around 400 trees per year. and i think there is something like 50,000 empty tree basins, it's a drop in the bucket but an effort to green the city and increase the canopy cover throughout the side. so the next slide is just a recap of where we are. this is the first group of 5-year prioritization programs, 5ypp's and next month you will have the rest of them in front of you, along with the adoption of the strategic plan for your consideration. and with that, i can take any questions and there are also many project sponsors and project managers here as well. >> chair a. peskin: thank you, ms. lafort. are there any questions from members? seeing none, i guess we are all well-briefed. are there any members of the public who would like to speak to item number 6? seeing none, public comment is closed. is there a motion to approve, to adop

category 3, very close to a category 4 right now.evastatinntially the farther west this goes, you're talking about panama city, you're talking about december tin, you're talking here,more populated areas but right now, it is expected to go just east of the panama city beach area. rit now, winds of 125 miles an hour, moving north at 12. again, category 4 is at 130. that's hhat thericane center has it at right here, going to a cat 4 by early ctomorrow,ing onshore just east of panama city beach as a category 4 hurricane. so, again, a devastating hurricane. the storm surge is going to be somethin watch and the winds, as well. the winds will be something to watch into the carolinas and moving out to sea by friday. here's theurricane impacts. hurl cane warning in effect now including tallahassee, partsf southern georgia, as well to the panhandle, the entire paandle. tropical storm washirnings in a gus that, savannah. and this is why. storm surge, 9 to 13 feet, could be even higher also it strevethens. winds 100 miles an hour easily. in eas

it's a category 4 storm at 1 p.m. eastern time. so for us, that's about 5 hours -- less than five hours away there. and then, pushing up north so it's a category 1 storm as it moves up georgia as well as for the carolinas. so let's talk about the wind gusts. panama city, tallahassee, continue to be winds increase as that storm gets closer to panama city there. so there is the satellite imagery. we are looking at anywhere from 8 to 12 inches of rain for the florida panhandle up to georgia and the carolinas. the impact a direct impact as a major category 4 storm likely in the next five hours or so. that storm surge, a water level rise may hit 12 feet and we're talking again about 8 to 12 inches of rae florida panhan also for the carolinas and coming up. good time to check traffic as we take a live look at the bay your morning commute. >>> the metering lights activated at 5:20 this morning and how quickly that backup grew within just under 15 minutes there. so here we are over at the metering lights. you can see everyone just waiting

this one may even reach a category five.a lot of friends i have worked with in the big bend area and over in panama city and i have real concerns for these guys. this will be an epic storm. >> you have been checking in with a lot of folks sheltering in on their fishing boats. how are they feeling about their chances? >> we call it the ditch. it is because it is a man made ditch and 35 foot high banks on both sides. it is about the only place you are survive a category five storm. for most guys when you own your boat, you make a living on your boat, storms like this, you ride on the boat. it's kind of like the captain dan forest gump syndrome. the only way you know it is going to survive is if you stay on it. >> we don't encourage people to stay. we're going to keep checking in with you during the day. thanks, major. >> bye-bye. >> diane is in panama city beach where you are already feeling the effect of this storm. >> that's right. in fact, the rain has picked up here. you probably see the satellite truck coming in behind me

two miles an hour shy from the highest category, a category 5. it's making more than its weight in history as it spins to the north and here's something else to consider. we have never seen this organized, this tight ostorm, still together crossing over interstate 10. the main east-west artery to that entire region. we're looking at communities like macon, georgia, who before the end of the evening could be under a full on torn -- hurricane warning. matt bradley mention tornadoes and so did i. those are so often the spawn of storms like this. there's reason to believe we've already seen a couple today right alongside the hurricane winds. because of the embedded thunderstorms. they spin off. one more break, when we come back, our meteorologist bill kierans has joins us. he'll be at the map with the latest readings on this storm. let's face it everybody hates fees. now sofi has no fees on personal loans. that's right no fees on loans to remodel your bathroom. ♪ no fees on loans to consolidate your credit card debt. see no fees just feels good. ♪ bo

it struck here as an historic category 4, just shy of a category 5. the frightening reality tonight is that this hurricane isn't giving up. it is a category 3 at this hour as it barrels across land. we know that georgia, the carolinas and then moving right up the coast with its effects, so, let's get to rob marciano, he's also here in panama city beach tonight, following the newest track just out. rob? >> reporter: david, you said it. still a category 3 and now in georgia. that has nts happened since 189le. the center of this thing, 40 miles southwest ofoo at it on t. we're watching tornado watches. three reported tornadoes so far and we got a tornado warning out right now just south of the atlanta area. and that watch in effect until 2:00 in the morning. the track is going to continue on its way towards the northeast. we'll get to tropical storm-force winds, but not until after midnight. by tomorrow afternoon, already in raleigh,caroli then by friday morning, early, it is off the coast. so, let's tick tock it for you. flash flooding and hurricane-for

it has been upgraded to a category 4 storm. maximum sustained winds of 140 miles per hour right now, and expected to be 145 miles per hour when it makes landfall later today. the storm surge, which is the deadliest factor in any hurricane will also be horrible, up to nine feet where i am right now. i will not be able to stand here several hours from now. it will be 13 feet or higher east of me and could devastate some of the coastal communities. a category 4 storm has never hit the florida panhandle. this is dangerous history. we have been getting new updates all night from the hurricane center, and continuing to get worst as the storm moves out and over warm water over the gulf. some 2 million people in florida live in counties where there have been evacuations, and several million more are in the path of the storm as it moves into georgia and carolinas. this will have a major impact over the next few days. let's get right to chad meyers in the weather center for the latest on the forecast. >>> the hurricane center putting out

the timing for this, it runs over the warm gulf waters from a category one up to a category two. a category three storm currently projected to be off the coast of the florida panhandle by early wednesday morning. at that point, a category three. that means winds up to 120 miles per hour. this would be a large storm of the time it makes its way to the landfall of the united states. still several tropical model

3, category 4.ions around your area were already full on monday. meaning people were getting gas but did you get a sense that people in your neck of the woods had enough time to realize how serious it was going to be and get out if they needed to? >> well, you know, that's kind of two sided because, you know, people in our neck of the woods, we prepare well. you know? so as far as water, gas, generators, homes that we know can withstand the weather, you know, they tend to stay. but i did notice on monday everybody at the gas station, gassing. people repairing and a lot of people left. i would say 50% left. 50% stayed. every neighbor i know within a quarter smile here. >> is there. did those people have time to prepare their homes, board them up, make their way to the grocery store? without power and given the strength of this storm, people will be stuck at home for quite sometime. >> they did. even though it came on fairly quickly, we were anticipating a tropical storm or, you know, a category 1 bec

comes onshore as a category 4, right? it's two miles an hour short of a category 5. just call it a cat-5. officially it's not. but this storm basically was a cat-5 making landfall on the panhandle of florida. largest strongest hurricane ever to make landfall on the -- at the panhandle. look where it landed. this is still a category 2 hurricane. it's not that far from atlanta. maybe 100 miles from atlanta, georgia. and it's still a category 1 hurricane. i'm not a hurricane expert, but i have never seen a hurricane that far inland especially that close to a major urban center. category 1, it's going to drop quick from here. you will see the eye filling in. when that fills in the system is starting to get extra-tropical. as that happens, the storm weakens but not before there were massive storm surges. if you saw pictures of mexico beach, this will make sensing. the storm surge was up to 12 feet. this is actually some of the video i saw today, this is how mexico beach looked, just covered in water, treetops broken off, this is a major, major storm. and this is what -- t

this region had never endured a category 4 hurricane before. >> category 4 hurricane. >> we were on the air right as the outer eye wall approached us. this hurricane is about to make landfall, again, not far from where we are right now. i want to show you behind me some of the damage its already done. you can see the trees here. one of the them has already come behind us. the winds, 155 miles per hour, as the hurricane made landfall. tonight, the stunning scope of the waves crashing ashore at st. andrew's bay. the national weather service buoy recording waves higher than 30 feet before landfall, before that buoy simply stopped working. power lines down tonight. transformers bursting behind us. whoa, whoa. we're getting -- did you see that? tonight, hundreds of thousands are without power. our team positioned between concrete walls at this panama city hotel. we could see suvs outside rocking and beginning to lift. we are seeing the brunt of the most dangerous part of the storm beginning to move in. trees are coming down in front of us. power lines have come down. and i just want you to h

keep in mind 155 category four. category five, 157. so just shy of that as it's really coming up through panama city beach and now heading inland. we'll talk weather and what you need to know in just a second. but, john berman, let's just have a conversation. i think you can hear now. i think the winds are a bit easier where you are in pcb. but for me here in destin, it's incredible, and we felt the wind not nearly as much as you did. i'm now almost seeing blue sky trying to peek out through these clouds. tell me how it feels where you are. >> reporter: no blue skies, at least not yet, brooke. where i am, the winds have died down and we are still seeing pictures of some blasts. there was about 45 minutes there, which i have not endured before with this consistent, heavy wind that was 100 miles per hour or heavier gusts of 120 miles an hour. i was standing outside here with dianne gallagher. we're holding each other up trying to have a conversation. i couldn't look at her because the wind was going so fast, it was putting rain in my fac

a couple of days when we were look target storm, maybe category 2 or category 3, most oil traders thought nonevent but this storm was going the miss major refineries, on path where it wasn't going to do a lot of damage to oil platforms, but because the size of the storm is grow, traders are starting to rethink the scenario somewhat, right now as you mentioned, they moved a lot of the rigs out of the way, the ones that can be moved, the oil platforms are in the way of this storm and they can't be moved so they could easily be damaged, and once you get up to this size of a storm, the peripheral damage comes a lot greater, so i think the traders are taking it a lot more seriously this morning. cheryl: talk to me about the time frame here with regards to gasoline prices and production and pipelines and all that because the storm is, of course, going to stay once it hits land it will continue we believe up towards northeast, so how quickly can all of those platforms and everything be brought back online and what does this mean for gasoline prices? >> i mean, the u.s. energy industries have don

2 or category 3?> it is a 115 miles per hour storm. it will be decreasing its wind but it is carrying a punch and will be a dangerous storm all night. >> do you think people were prepared for the enormity of this monster storm? >> the national weather service has been working with federal, state and local emergency management officials five days in advance of the storm. you can see that they were prepared for it. the state of florida issued a state of emergency two-and-a-half days before the storm. you heard about people being -- having prepositioned assets, getting utility companies from all over the country, you know, preposition. now the first responders, the brave souls going out in the middle of the night, these first responders and recovery teams who are also prepositioned, are already out, you know, looking for -- over the situation and being there to rescue people who need to be rescued. >> this is the worst hurricane to hit the florida panhandle ever, at least since they started doing surveys

you went to bed, it was a category 2, you woke up it was a category 4. almost a category 5.t's your number one piece of advice for the citizens of destin, florida, right now, who are in destin, florida? >> well, number one is it's not over yet. in fact, in the last hour and a half, we've probably received higher sustained winds than we did prior to the storm making landfall. so i've encouraged everybody to stay home, stay inside, don't go out sight-seeing. we just lost power at my house about 5 minutes ago. so there's still a risk of falling trees and do you wawned lines. so tomorrow morning the tropical force winds and gale force winds will be diminished, and we can do our damage assessment at that time. and hopefully for us, we were very blessed to miss this storm. hopefully we can get power going and get ready for our community for the tourists that have booked their vacations for next week. so the whole month is not lost. so we're trying to be thoughtful, prayerful about our friends to the east. but at the same time, tomorrow morning i think everybody is going to be read

this is a category-tour is storm and strength -- category-four storm and strengthening. since records began in 1981, florida's gulf coast has never seen a storm of this magnitude. stay safe. >>> officials in florida trying to get people to heed evacuation orders. you'll hear from one next. >>> plus, the fiancee of a missing saudi journalist makes a public plea to president trump. >>> breaking news, hurricane micro se-- hurricane michael is 130 mile-per-hour storm, threatening storm surge. george shoul lihowell is live i. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. we have been seeing the rainfall associated with this storm. no winds yesterday, but you described what's to come. winds in excess of 130 mile-per-hour. strong winds on the way. the rains, we're feeling the first bands from destin to panama city, expecting the eye of the storm to come here mid-afternoon. everything east of panama city, that's going to see the stronger winds. that dirty side of the storm where tornadic activity is possible. apalachicola, florida, one city that will feel the impact. i spoke w

it is now a category 4.t means sustained winds of over 145 miles per hour and gusts that will be going up to 160 to 165 miles an hour. there will be entire buildings leveled as a result of this storm. then there is the storm surge. 12 to 14 feet of water that hurricane will be pushing up the beaches and rivers and on inland. you can see the surf that is starting to kick up there in bradenton beach. these things come ashore when they do come ashore, it intensifies very quickly. i'm sorry to say there will be a lot of people who decided to ride this one out who wish they had not. these things can be terrifying. a storm like this. and let's just hope that there is no loss of life as a result. >> sandra: the panhandle is bracing for the cat 4 hurricane michael. brock long, the fema director, just sending out a stern warning to the citizens of georgia said wake up. this could be the worst storm that state has ever seen. so actually the breadth of the storm, 200 mile wind spread according to noaa. wide-ranging, fa

category 2, and category 3, you know you're going to get slammed. but there are reasons why people don't evacuate, but everybody needs to get to safety in a couple of minutes. we knew we were going to get slammed. there we go. >> we're flying past, a little inland. it's tough for people to see. those are projectiles that are blowing through. those are gutters, maybe they were gutters, at one point, whether they were on the building, metal siding, imagine that hitting you or hitting a car, metal siding, imagine that hitting you at 100 miles an hour or even hit your car if you're trying to drive at 100 miles an hour now, which i can't imagine people are doing. >> it also illustrates the point as to why emergency officials can't come and rescue you during a hurricane like this. it's not a matter of callousness that they don't want to help. they can't do stuff like this when you have projectiles like this flying through the air. and again, we're sort of -- we're a little bit shielded by these winds, we're not experiencing the full force of these winds r

category 4.er, it's going to stay a category 4. as it begins to make landfall, it's expected to become a strong category 4, not necessarily a 5, but at least a strong category 4 by the latest calculations we have. one quick note about the storm surge. we're looking at between 6 to 10 feet. >> and we know it's headed up that track you showed us earlier right into the carolinas, charleston, wilmington in that area, that just was dealing with hurricane florence. is there anything different about this storm that those areas need to worry about? >> it's kind of a back and forth. it's a gemini effect. on one side, florence was a problem because florence slowly moved across south carolina. now, as far as michael's concerned, it's a fast mover but because michael is such a fast mover, it has more of a punch as it pertains to the winds, hence the category 4 and getting stronger. >> and a category 4 or 5 storm has never hit the florida panhandle before. this could be a very, very dangerous day for many of

in almost every category that means germany actually ends up number one in innovation although it does not have the most applications and does not have the very best scientific research. into the conflicts come from seeing the powerful two years ago in the philippines began a war against the drug gangs in which thousands of people. rights activists charge the police with illegal charges which president. i guess this week here in manila this is legal adviser salvador kind of welcome to come to conflicts of. d.w. . national i'm going to start my night hide your identity. we are scared we are very scared that we have to stay here and you know. like. i did it was dinner. time led to what is the true face of the country look like. freedom independence a separation of state and church that used to be important but for decades political infighting here has ended progress and islamist extremists are gaining more in god you know we call for the rule of law to law islam. democracy and the law are on shaky ground. you've just going to get worse. there should be. a pretty. cannot. bangladesh the d

it's a strong category 4 storm. moving closer to the florida panhandle, as a strong cat-4. 145 miles an hour sustained winds. likely coming onshore as a strong category 4 storm, a first for the panhandle getting a cat-4 storm. it will then go to georgia and the carolinas. dangerous storm surge up to 12 feet. heavy rain and, of course, hurricane-force winds. you can see the clouds out there indicating that onshore flow for us so that ocean breeze helping to cool us down. 50s in the area right now. here's what to expect. we are looking at again a few low clouds and fog along the coast. parts of the bay. cooler than average temperatures today and for tomorrow. warming right back up with offshore winds friday through the weekend. so here's the reason why we have this lopez up across the northwest. it's pushing farther to the west. with the flow, getting the southwesterly winds, ocean breeze today and for tomorrow. wicool air is coming into the bay area. all of us will be cool once again today. now changes are coming. th

it is category 5. that is a category 5 so they just updated.e at 155 and now it is at 160, moving north at 7. if you're going to puerto vallarta you might want to check. it is moving northward. if you've been down there, you know what i'm talking about. this is south. that would be tuesday night, a category 5 so this will be taking aim in the next 24 to 36 hours around there. we will update that. now category 5. low clouds, plenty along the west coast. it is low pressure but no rain. not here. he continues to fire up around the four corners, phoenix, las vegas and the wettest october ever in phoenix if i'm not mistaken. we also have an onshore breeze along with the low cloud deck. the delta through the straits. 37 in lakeport. that is where we have the clear skies. low clouds, stuck in the 50s as most are. kelsey villas at 42. one observation in napa is at 46. a lot of low 50s are in the mix. would acres 47. we have a low cloud deck and then the system moves into barbican might give us clouds but it is enhancing the fog bank and keeping us cool

now a category 4. just a hair away from category 5. this is serious business. >> we talked to you as the eye passed by you. it skirted by you. it didn't get to you. what's the situation now? >> reporter: it's just non-stop. there was reported wind gusts of 106 miles an hour. i want my camera man to continue to show you these trees behind me. that's what the roads are looking like. they are getting more and more inundated. we're starting to see more debris and more trees that cannot with stand the strong winds from this historic storm. i'm just a short 15 minute drive from mexico beach from where hurricane michael and made landfa landfall. we drove there today. we were going to be live there. we turned back because we were afraid when the wind gusts reach 45 miles an hour, they close the bridges, so we turned back. yesterday i talked to many locals there in mexico beach. many people did not evacuate. many people will ride out the storm there. making calls to check in on them. they haven't returned my calls. a lot of people really caught

you may see sustained category 1 and category 2 winds with higher associated. we are expecting a lot of damage inland as well. have leaned forward with governor scott and his staff down in florida, they have been leaning forward as well. there is no identified shortfalls when it comes to repositioning. so we have equipment personnel embedded with the state of florida staff and some local county emergency managers. but we have equipment teams staged toward orlando ready to move in once the elements subside and push through and then we can move in an attack. >> with the private sector, different utilities from 14 states are already ready to help with any energy outlets. president trump: they are all lined up as soon as it goes by, they will be working. have got food supplies and we are working with all of the states. let me ask you, this started out innocently a week ago. a small storm. , they said it grew into a monster. >> the first initial indications of started coming in around saturday. they picked it up and started raising the flag and said hey, the system

but again, this is when it was still a category two, category three, now category four. it is getting more intense. the time to evacuate is running short. the governor continues to give warnings, even this morning, even 15 minutes ago. he has been asking people to leave and get out while they still can, because once the eye ofof the storm makes landfall, even though there are over 2500 national guard deployed for reaching people in emergency situations, it becomes much harder when there is a storm, and winds coming at you at that kind of speed. delano: indeed, thank you for the update's. -- for the update. our reporter is in miami. the italy's a palace has announced that unexpected cabinet reshuffle -- the elysee palace is announced that an expected cabinet reshuffle will wait a few days, following the departure of the interior minister, the third minister to quit the government in the span of five weeks. chris moore has more at the ely see palace. media an impatient french are asking, and still no announcement. as you say, it comes on the back of a series of high-profil

it is a category 4 storm. it is now 60 miles south, southwest of panama city. 45 miles per hour winds. it's moving now north, northeast at 14, so it's forward speed picking up a little bit. at that rate, this may very well just go to the east of panama city, but make no mistake. it is still a massive system. just to put this in perspective, if this were a tornado it would be an ef 3 tornado about five to ten miles wide. that's the kind of devastation this possibly has. it will make landfall sometime between, i'd say, 1:00 and 4:00 this afternoon as a category 4. it's still a category 2 this evening into southwestern georgia, continuing as a 2 right along the georgia, south carolina coast and tropical system moving out by friday morning. the biggest impact, storm surge. that's where we have the greatest loss of life and destruction. we're talking inundation of coastal locations. a 9 to 13 foot storm surge. that is massive. to put it in more perspective, as the winds push that wall of water onshore, we're talkin

a weak category 4. either one of those are going to be deadly, especially along those barrier islands near and just to the right of center. another hurricane that took a similar track was hurricane opal in 1995. that came in further west near the pensacola area and brought a 15-foot storm surge there in pensacola. there are dozens of fatales from both of those storms. so a storm like this, it's fast-moving. it's strengthening as it comes in. it's going to have a quick devastating storm surge. it's going to come in fast along with those winds, and it's just something you don't want to be a part of. >> reed, what do folks need to be prepared for if they decide to stick this out? do you think it's worse if we're going to talk about the winds that are coming ashore or the storm surge? >> well, i think it's both right near the shoreline. you have the winds and the storm surge. and eventually it's going to be too dangerous to leave. the surge in the water will come up well in advance of the storm system. now

category two to category one and heavy rains as well and we could see downed power trees all across the state of georgia as well in the governor has alerted the national guard for possible emergency situations in the coming hours. >> we heard the governor of florida say it is too late to get out. what is the situation where you are. our people hunkering down? are you evacuating? >> in georgia there has been no evacuation. a half a million people were ordered to evacuate. they are telling people to leave their homes in the state of georgia. >> steve harrington let's keep track of hurricane michael by turning to our meteorologist mark tamayo. thankfully it is not a slow moving storm like florence was a few weeks ago. >>> hurricane michael making landfall at 10:45 a.m. our time near mexico beach, florida. there is the well defined i've. this is the first category four or stronger storm to make landfall in the florida panhandle and this is the third strongest u.s. landfall hurricane and there is the satellite loop showing you the landfall and already the storm front is starting to get popul
