do take our guests and residents who are part of the university community very very seriously, and, you know, a lot of the students at university of floridaher parts of florida and other parts of the southeast, and many of them have been through storms before. but as you say, this is often the first time without being with family. >> yeah. mayor, i know that you have been awfully busy, but did you get a chance to talk to your daughter? did she tell you how her friends, roommates, anyone she was hanging out with during the storm, how they were fare something. >> the university of florida does a great job taking care of the students and making sure they are safe. and that's the impression we got from her as well. we picked her up last night, she spent the night with us last night instead of in the dorms, but the dorms are hardened, they are shelters themselves, so no questions at all about the safety of university of florida students or anyone here in our community. we did have a traffic accident as was just noted before i came on there. early this morning as part of the storm. bad things happen when people go out in storms. we encourage ev

that of course being taken care of by responders right now. >> gainesville because of the university of floridaudents, some of them might not be from that area what is the university of florida doing to make sure they stay safe? >> reporter: ellison, classes were cancelled so students could stay at home and hunker down the hotel where we're staying had a few students staying here along with some other residents for the area the university of florida is actually right behind us and i made my way into one of shopping centers that college students frequent to get food, i was speaking to one of the owners, we closed at night, everyone went home, this place went quiet and now, probably around 2:00, 3:00, people have started making their way outside. we'll hear from one of the students who spoke during this storm. >> i lost power a few times. last night. i woke up to the sound of our power coming back on actually. so it seems like we're about to get another band of rain, yeah, you can hear the wind. >> reporter: that was part of the experience and i should say the power company has been working to re

it's also the home of the university of florida. so you've got a lot of students here, a lot of faculty. they've been told move to higher ground, and those who haven't now don't have that opportunity. we've seen the outer bands of this area moving through. you've covered hurricanes, so you know what that means. heavy bands, heavy rain, heavy wind and it drops off and it clears and the next band. it's go ing to be a full-on storm in the next couple of hours. we expect landfall around 6:00 to 7:00 eastern time. >> you and i were on the ground for hirks ida a few years ago. let me ask you. that storm lasted quite a few days. how long is this one expectecoa carolinas, but it should clear this area by the end of the day at the very latest, which will allow those teams to move in and begin trying to restore some of the power and assessing some of the hardest hit areas. >> so, jay, you mentioned university of florida is right there in gainesville. about 50,000 students go to that school. it's a pretty densely populated area. has the nationa

the new college of florida, the university of north florida and the university of south florida. in a lot of those cases, out of caution, ahead of the storm's arrival formally tomorrow. andrew fosso, the pasco county emergency management director. how is your vantage point? >> so we're still looking at a possible category three phase storm. paralleling our coast, going by us. we are looking at a storm surge of anywhere between six and nine feet. we've been informed that we're going to have sustained winds anywhere between 60, 80 miles an hour along the coast and inland also. we will get some stronger gusts as the storm passes by us. we've been very proactive with this storm. compared to when we had ian. this storm is one of our worst nightmare storms. we're hoping that it stays on the track and does not start making more of an easterly trajectory because that just puts us in a worsen ordinary yes. we do have six shelters open. we have nine sandbag sites open at this time. we've been proactively messaging the citizens of pasco county to heed the warning. you know, run from the win

university of florida is 60's,000 kids. think about the locations. i met a couple exchange students from australia, i reminded them, this is like a cyclone in your country and that gave them a little peace of mind. it is definitely going to be an interesting morning getting closer to landfall and we get inner bands closer to gainesville. this is definitely the beginning of what will be pretty impressive day. the latest advisory, interesting to see that jump to category 4, we are anticipating that. >> yeah, britta, we have talked about what we're expecting at the coastline, it is extreme. up to 16 feet of surge. where you are and many locations inland to georgia, georgia hsz hurricane warning and it will bring hurricane conditions inland. >> yeah, the fact it will be a hurricane when it crosses the florida/georgia line is notable. it is rare for gainesville to be impacted by weather systems worse than tropical storm strength. they had an drea in 2013. it's been a hot minute, 10 years since they had bona fide storm know cans move over gainesville. this

i'm also seeing a lot of alerts for emergency managers across the state, even from the university of floridaho was in the path of the storm. meanwhile residents sales tax holiday is just in time be floridians can buy certain items with no sales tax added. i started yesterday going through september 8. floridians can buy things like flashlights, batteries, portable radios or generators. household cleaning items and pet this year we are expecting floridians to have $144 million of tax relief with the two sales tax holidays. that is compared to 25 million they benefited from last year with sales tax holidays the time for action is now part if you have not already, we encourage floridians to develop a plan to build your disaster supply kit. >> right now at sandbag locations are activated to help residents prepare for potential flooding. we are seeing the sights opening in the st. petersburg, tampa area and counties north of them. even further in live near orlando but for those in the path of the storm now is the time to get what you need. whether it is a flashlight or anything missing from your

let's discuss with geography processor at the university of florida, as well as chad myers. wing threat. this year, we've seen all sorts of real extremes from hawaii to georgia. is the average american now starting to understand that climate change is here and having a disastrous effect? >> it's hard to say what that average american might think but scientists all agree that there's been a change over the long-term and the conditions that we're facing and that does come with extremes in our weather conditions. >> and chad, talk about how climate change played a role in intensifying hurricane idalia. what impact could it have had? >> we've been talking about the water temperature around the keys now for what seems like months and how there's going to be this event. the water has been in record warmth territory. now, idalia would like liely ha happened anyway but you cannot tell because of where it started, what would had happened had the water not been 5 or 6 degrees warmer than it should have been. we don't have hurricanes in the winter because the water's not warm enough. it

university of north carolina at chapel hill. welcome from north carolina. appreciate you being here. early american history at the university of florida and drove up hereon from gainesville to jn us. we are very grateful for you being here tonight. we have scott nelson who is a georgia athletics association of history at the university of georgia. if yourr member from athens tody , thank you for being here with us today, scott. like i said, this book covers a lot of ground. it goes back several years and takes us close to the present. it truly is a comprehensive history at the south. with so many contributors, so much ground to cover our thought we would talk with questions to the editor. how did this project initially come out? >> and editor from the university of north carolina came to me two decades ago. [laughter] suggested that it was time to have a new interpretive history of the american south. and i was keen to do it, but life intervened and it took longer, it took longer than i would haveen expected. part of the challenge was we wanted to pull together a team of really great scholars, i hope they won't be offended, we wanted

state university, florida, university oflorida they have the ability to shelters their students on campus. a lot of their buildings are obviously rated for cat 3, 4 and 5 winds. and they also have full generation. so, most of these campuses, especially with their international students that can't evacuate, they are very robust in taking care of those students on campus. i would highly encourage parents and kids stay in constant communication. that's a fundamental basis of any all hazards if you will, plan. we highly encourage people to have a way to communicate with each other and make sure they stay in touch to the best extent they can. >> steve: kevin, when you guys gave the briefing, the governor said you had prepositioned something like 3,000 generators if power is lost. where will those generators go? we just had grady trimble from our team at a gas station. i would imagine a gas station would be a primary place that if they don't have electricity you want to get juice to them. the bulk of our tracking expose them to th

across the state has been triggering alerts to their county residents and even schools like the university of floridahe same as they could likely be in the path of this storm. >> if you look at the this big bend region, the models are probably more in agreement than when we had ian last year. if you are in the path of this storm the, you should expect power outages. >> reporter: as for residents who immediate to get personal resources together, the timing of florida's second newly-added disaster sales tax preparedness holiday is in time. floridians can buy certain items with no sales tax now going through september 8th. they can buy flashlights, batteries, portable radios, portable generators, house cleaning items and pet evacuation supplies. >> and so this year we're expecting floridians to have $144 million of tax relief with those two sales tax holidays, and that's compared to only $25 # million that they benefited from last year with that one sales tax holiday. the time for action is now, and if you haven't already, we encourage floridians to develop a plan, to build your disaster supply kit. >>

and the university of floridaing. meteorologist derek van dam is with us now. derek, what's the latest? what are we seeing as these updates start to come in? >> reporter: yeah. what people need to know is it strengthened to a hurricane officially at the 5:00 a.m. update this morning. one interesting thing to note as well is it is on its forward move. we're seeing that northerly progression at 14 miles per hour. that means it is picking up speed and will continue to do so before its landfall. now, look, it has a lot of open water to traverse first. and that water is extremely warm that will allow for what we call rapid intensification, a strengthening of the storm. we have seen this story play out time and time again, hurricane ian last year, we remember that. here is the latest radar. you can see how the western slopes of cuba are getting clobbered right now with heavy rain bands. havana included in that category 1 hurricane moving into the open waters of the southern gulf of mexico and will start to see those rai

and some of the low lying areas, if not weeks, the university of florida is located here in gainesville. so obviously a lot of concern with all of the students and faculty here most have been asked to leave those that decided not to they've got to now shelter in place as the storm is expected to move through. give me a rough next couple of hours here. we do expect the storm to push through throughout the day and then the work of, of assessing what's happened and trying to get back. we'll begin right now though everyone waiting and watching a value project uses a in some be a seeking to deny bail to 11 people charged with espionage. 5 egyptians were among men, arrested, entering a restrictive zone of listened to the airport. i would detain 2 weeks on to the siege. it is a private across, along with guns, i munition millions of dollars in cash and faith, gold, and egypt, a journalist covering the story was always say detained and questioned by police. her matessa has moved from her right. that someone at the airport in the south had got suspicious. they elected that being authorities, aut

i should also say the university of florida is here, the university played a big role preparing students fairly quiet. we still have wind coming through and a little bit of rain with of course the worst part of the storm already making its way north. but authorities telling people to be careful when they go outside here if they see fallen trees, and of course, jose, for the possibility of damage to the power lines that, of course, can be dangerous as these power crews are making their way through the states to make those repairs that are necessary, jose. >> guad venegas in gainesville, i thank you so very much as we were chatting with guad, you know, the weather just changed in a second. it just started pouring. and that just shows you that these wind gusts and these different streams of the hurricane are very much a part of the florida ecosystem. and joining us this morning is florida congressman jared moskowitz who was former director of florida's division of emergency management. congressman, i thank you very much for being with us this morning. you led the state's response to hurrica

and that could extend for several days and some of the low lying areas, if not weeks, the university of florida is located here in gainesville. so obviously a lot of concern with all of the students and faculty here most have been asked to leave those that decided not to they've got to now shelter in place as the storm is expected to move through. clear rough next couple of hours here. we do expect the storm to push through throughout the day and then the work of, of assessing what's happened and trying to get back. we'll begin right now though, everyone waiting and watching a value. the still ahead on the out is there a tear gas stoves play at a football game and south america points the the this time is for is for molly and thank you so much. the welcome kathy scandal continues with louise. rebel is still refusing to resign as spanish football federation president, members of the media were allowed into a church in his hometown where his mother is on hunger strike. she says she'll continue until a solution is bound to what she calls the inhumane treatment of her son. she is now suspended in u

i don't see him making it to the university of florida/florida state football game in november in thedecember. i think this campaign is seeing its last legs and that's what jonathan martin was talking about. >> interesting. scott, an anti-trump republican superpac is out with a new ad highlighting the mounting legal problems for the former president. listen to this. >> i think for 2024, trump is not the most electable candidate. >> he probably doesn't wake up without 50 emails from his attorneys about current or possible indictments. that's every day of his life new. it kind of hurts me to say, because i had trump flags up in my house, had one in my front yard, i was that guy. not this time. >> so do you see this as a defective message to convince trump voters not to support him again? >> well, i can only goo by what i'm seeing in the polls. polls right now show that republicans still think donald trump is the most electable candidate, if you can believe it, despite the fact that he's lost the national popular vote twice. that was before january 6th and before all the indictments and

a big concern obviously with the university of florida campus located here, those students don't have class. i mean that's pretty clear, but they're also being told to either get out of the area, and if you haven't done that at this point to shelter in place and make sure to ride this thing out. what will we see when it happens, this is an area heavily populated with trees. we'll see trees pulled down, power lines pulled down as well. national guard troops have been deployed and they're ready to move in when this storm clears and all the power teams stay just outside the strike zone, and they'll have quite a task once this thing clears and gets out of the way. right now everything focused on the coastline and seeing this storm make landfall in the next couple of hours and bringing with it you talked about really an unprecedented storm surge as the forecast holds 12 to 16 feet, water taller than a first story building. that's something catastrophic as the hurricane center says of damage in areas that are hit. right now a bit of a spinning rain. we've seen it harder at times, but we exp

university of north at chapel hill. so welcome, folks, from north carolina. we appreciate you being here. and seated next to him is jon sensbach. he teaches early american history at the university of florida and drove up here from gainesville to join us. so we're very grateful to you, john, for being here tonight. okay. and lastly, on the end we have scott nelson, who is georgia athletic association professor of at the university of georgia drove over from athens today. thank you for being here with us today. scott thanks so much for having me, claire. so like i said, this book covers a lot of ground. it goes back s thousand, actually, and takes us up pretty close to the present. so it truly is a comprehensive history of the south. but with so many contributor, with so much ground to cover, i thought we would start with just the basic question to the editor, and that is how did this project initially come about? well, it came when an editor from the university of north carolina press came to me two decades ago. and suggested that it was time to have an interpretive history of the american south. and i was keen to do it. but there life intervened and it took a longer it took longer than i

i'm training with a really great training group down at the university of florida.coach, coach nesty. it's just a really great place to be. it's where i'm thriving and i'm loving every day. i have a smile on my face every day when i go to practice. and i'm around people that have similar goals. a lot of world champions and olympic medallists in the pool with me every day. and we have a lot of fun. we keep it light, but we also are pushing toward paris. and we have some really big goals over the next year. so, world championships was a great steppingstone, but i -- i don't -- i hope i'm not done yet. you know, i hope there's a lot more in the future. and this year should be a really great one coming up. >> yeah, of course. you mentioned you are training in florida. this is another fascinating thing. you're training with some of the top male distance swimmers in the world. what is that like and how is it different than how you were trained before? how does it make you better, do you think? >> i know that i want to have people to chase every day in practice. and i'm sw

university. it is distinctively the state of florida's first historically black university and we believe his aimthe bastion and birthplace of black excellence, particular in higher education, in this state and he wanted to send a message by coming here. but, again, thankfully, because of the great work of our students first and certainly our campus police force he was not able to reach our campus and harm our immediate university. now, under florida governor ron desantis, he has banned the teaching of critical race theory in this state, which acknowledges systemic racism in american history. you have been working with the governor since these incidents on saturday. he has given you an extra $1 million for security at the campus. what have your discussions with him involved in the last couple of days? well, to be very frank with you, we haven't had any discussions around policy. i think if we did we certainly would be diametrically opposed. my opinion and my view is certainly one that supports the notion of critical race theory. i think it's a historical fact that this nation was born from a conc

i spent 16 years as a professor at the university of florida college of law.director of the criminal justice center. there was a lot of research that goes into the fact that diverting nonviolent people out of the criminal legal system build stronger, safer, communities. what we did with my first two and a half years in offices we expanded diversion programs so we could make it easier for people who just needed a little redirection to be able to get that without having their entire lives ruined by a criminal legal system that is unfair given. one, that once you have been in it, and there is a mugshot circling a view, it makes it difficult for you if not impossible for you define education, employment, and to see the light. our diversion program with central to public safety in our community. >> monique, as a former prosecutor i can tell you that so much about our conversations about crime and punishment are not data driven. the fact that you are talking about research being the impetus for why you divide these things are the candidate is so critically important

a new center for applied artificial intelligence is being built near the university of florida's researcht's where scientists have developed several varieties of strawberries and other crops. our time is 956. tonight's mega millions lottery jackpot drawing expected to be more than a billion dollars. the last time someone matched all six numbers was way back in april. the jackpot has been growing ever since. now the drawing is tonight, right at 8 p.m. the odds of winning are about one inch, 302 million. let's to staa little more than a half hour. at 1030 this morning, the entire roster will be there except for pass rusher and defensive player of the year nick bosa he's holding out while negotiating a new contract extension. while the talks have reportedly been cordial, it's believed bosa wants to be the highest paid non quarterback in the nfl. that would be a price tag worth about $32 million a year. i don't like this. i don't like not having one of our best players here. we've got a really good track record that i'm proud of as a group of having our players in. but i also understand it an

hopefully they'll get back inside and, and kind of right, this thing out, this is the home to the university of florida, 50000 students, a huge staff and faculty. there are those that haven't moved diagram. that campus is obviously locked down there, watching things on full year. and it's a part of the status that you know, when you think of florida, you think of the beaches. this is an area that heavily forested it's got a lot of freeze and, and so that's a concern. no freeze the either being cold from their roots because of the wet and when the conditions or snap and, and of course sign it for with a power line. so that's going to be an issue. and so we haven't seen the worst of the storm just quite yet, and well, for several hours. and, and that's going to bring with it again, some very dangerous and, and potentially catastrophic situations across a huge portion of this. they don't really getting into the thick of things now with the storm overland. it's dropped to a category to it. it's going to continue to push into georgia and then the carolina . it could still be a or even over land for that lon
