notice daytona beach. this is going to be over the next couple of days as ian works through central and eventually northeast florida, right along i-95. that is a bull's eye between 12 to 18 inches of additional rainfall on top of not what's already fallen. but as adam was sharing with those earlier, right along the coastline here, we're going to see storm surge that is going to enhance the rivers that flow out into the ocean. we're expecting more flooding in and around places like jacksonville. >> so this is really going to be almost a worst case scenario for parts of northeast florida, much like what we saw with ida, especially along some of the rivers there in jacksonville. and it's the reason and one of the primary reasons why throughout the day today into early tomorrow, on friday, notice the thatched areas there of red , meaning extreme rainfall. this, my friends, a live look at daytona. look at this camera. it is shaking. we were saying before that orlando executive airport wind gusts well over 50 mi

look at daytona, eight to 24 inches of heavy rainfall, that will cause problems.don't have hurricane force gusts just yet, but we'll report that and reporting stations we don't have equipment anymore, it is not working. we will have reports for the next weeks. fort myers broke a record, but then the instrumentation broke, it will take a while for the national weather service to get out and bring us important reports. hurricane warning for central portion of the state, hurricane conditions over next several hours and then we'll see the storm exit the coastline and bring potential for tropical storm force winds, sustained winds over 60 miles per hour. it slows down a bit, talking about saturday and now it is finally in toward charleston, it will take some time for this area of low pressure to get up into the areas and then of course, the power outage forecast, we have over two million people without power, still going to see the potential for some of the heavily populated neighborhoods, tens of millions of people here in the state of florida that still have yet to f

and so not quite in daytona beach, just to the south of daytona beach, real heavy rain continues to wrap in around the center of low pressure of ian . and here's your flash flood warning. this is going until three thirty in the morning. this is , of course, eastern time. this is for polk county and it does look like. yeah, so you're looking right there, cody. yeah, that's what's left of the the eye of end right there. and so so that's why we've got such intense rain banding showing up right there. and that's why we do have some of those flash flood warnings in place. and that's why everything is rotating in counterclockwise around what's left of the center of rotation. there with hurricane ian . so we'll see. we're going to get an update on this thing here in about a half hour. we'll see if it still is a hurricane or if it's now a tropical storm . but i'll tell you this, a lot of it is now reemerging back into the atlantic ocean right there. and that is its fuel source. and so it could start to pick up steam right back up as we head into the rest of this morning and throughout the rest o

but the rain over 10 inches of rain in daytona beach. some places even reporting as much as 13 inches of rain. so they're dealing with some flash flooding. of course. and of course, those winds continuing to howl in around that hurricane. then it's kind of hovering off the coastline. so you see there moving off the coast, seeing some gusts of over 40, 50 miles an hour in spots. and then it's just going to spin off the coastline and slowly meander a little further to the north. as we head throughout the night tonight. but you can see the areas shaded in red. those are flash flood warnings that are up. we talk about the daytona area, some very heavy rainfall there, but around many other tributaries in around florida that just had too much water, some places more than 20 plus inches, maybe more than 30 in some areas. so not only that, again, we're worried about the storm surge and you can see storm surge warnings extending all the way really a daytona beach all the way up. and virginia's, we're going to see this storm system make its way on

this is video from the daytona beach fire department. take a look at that. the national hurricane center says parts of northeastern and central florida could see up to 30 inches of rain. i want to bring in mayor derrick henry of daytona beach. what are you looking at right now? what's the biggest danger in northeast florida? >> well, water, water intrusion is the biggest danger. wind is a factor, but it is not the factor that water would be and that is our concern. we've tried to prep our residents as best we could and we're just hoping for the best at this point. >> what are your concerns, your main concerns for the next couple of hours? >> it would be the amount of water that residents are faced with. we've got unprecedented flooding issues in areas that we are concerned about and then we want residents to remain safe. we don't want them to make any bad decisions in terms of exiting their homes. the conditions are uncertain. and, frankly, very dangerous. making good decisions and hunkering down to the best of their capacity is what we're calling for at thi

cape canaveral, just south of daytona beach. heavy rain, but that's tropical store now when 65 mph only 65, but once they go over land they start. you can see the circulation there right there. right that moving up towards daytona beach will head up towards jacksonville and then head into south carolina. is it going to friday and also saturday? really really quiet on the west coast. i mean, just really quiet. except if you're in las vegas yesterday, where they had a amazing thunderstorm activity and lightning display clouds. otherwise it's mostly sunny temperatures are loved or not that warm sonoma mountain is 56. diablo 59 ben lomond, mount 56 that does not translate into very warm inland towns. but we will bump them up a teeny bit only the most inland locations. around 84 85. there could be you know they're 86 but coast in may it will be sixties and seventies. san rafael from 80 will go 80 to menlo park from 78 yesterday to 80, livermore and san jose. bump you up just 1 85 to 80 degrees fifties on most of the temps some sixtie

this is video here from daytona beach. this morning we haveon an nbc tm covering it all over florida. standing by to give us live updates of the impact of ian. >> we're getting a clear look at just how hard hurricane ian hit cuba. let's bring in our reporter. what more can you tell us about the conditions on the island. >> good morning. what's going on in cuba is an unmitigated disaster. and as we remember that ian slammed into cuba, a cat 3 hurricane focusing primarily on this area. it is the center of cuban f cigars. it was devastating. as of today, this is cording to the cuban government,di the cub government is the, only sourcef information in that country. so according to the cuban e government, two deaths to report. the devastation is just widespread. just the effects of this and just think of an island going through a cat 3 hurricane. and yet we saw groups of cubans take to the seas on rafts and on boats to try and get out of that island. one capsized off the stock island here in the florida keys yesterday.s yesterd

daytona beach is head over a foot of rain.n some really hefty rainfall rights along that line on the atlantic side, now heading up towards jacksonville. the path now takes it offshore for a little bit again over there. okay projection is to make it category one. that's a 2 70 mph now and then by tomorrow, it looks like it will move inland on the carolina coast as a category one. let's see here. yes as a category one so that will put the south carolina coast charleston in line here for maybe some storm surge six ft or so and also some very strong gusts and heavy rain, so we'll be talking about that on on friday, as well as it goes out into the atlantic and feeds off that warm water and gets a little stronger. we have really not much going on. i mean, it's just an amazingly quiet pattern for us here. we had a little cool down there earlier in the week. yesterday was kind of that tweener day. now we'll see slightly warmer temps. i mean, it's been a nice pattern and the september usually i'm talking about how hot it is inland. tha

see the eye coming off south of daytona, reforming becoming a hurricane right now. category one sustained winds of 75 miles an hour. it is still battering the coastline there. see some flash flooding. pretty impressive. rain amounts about 13 inches or so in parts of daytona beach with some of that rain coming down there, some flash flooding. there are real concern right now, though. we're also watching out for the storm surge. you've got to warnings from daytona beach all the way up into myrtle beach and then some watches continuing there. we could see a 4 to 7 foot storm surge as the system looks like it will come on shore again. right now it looks like the best chance for that come on shore is probably near charleston, south carolina. but we have to watch it very closely. here you go. this the latest forecast on some of precipitation and the models will cost to get a plot. these are all the computer models that are coming up with different simulations as they think where the system might go next. and it looks like most of them now are pointing road. there you go n

day daytona beach, cocoa beach beach, monroe county, around fort myers, bulk of first wave of power outages happened. this big storm and it is very large in size packing serious wind, category one now, but that is still a hurricane. more power outages are anticipated. >> carley: phil, thank you in tampa, florida. jumping in is coordinator seminole county office of emergency management, the storm is over seminole county, which is north of orlando, florida, just downgraded to a tropical storm, that doesn't mean it is not a severe situation. can you describe what you are going through right now? >> right now, seeing extensive levels of rainfall and tornadic activity. >> todd: h how busy were you lat night, steven? >> fairly stable right now, we are concerned about individuals with flooded homes who did not evacuate and did not heed the warnings, we have crews repositioned to start search and rescue activities for those individuals. >> carley: you are dealing with a double whammy, strong wind, rain because of what was once a hurricane and now a tropical storm and now dealing with tornados that

daytona beach. almost over with. that's the eastern coast of florida.urricane ian continues to unleash its wrath. yes, the winds still look quiet bracing there. the storm, not done with florida yet. the mayor of naples, florida, urging everyone to stay indoors, after several people had to be rescued in floodwaters. the local sheriff says, at least 30 rescue missions were completed wednesday. i want you to see this video. you can see a woman stuck in her car after it stalled in the floodwaters. firefighters, going in waist- high water before smashing in. folks, this is what rescue workers tell you not to do. do not go to the water with your car. listen to the commissioner, and what he said to cnn. >> folks around here know, with mandatory evacuations, they take it serious. i'm sure you saw some of the video footage, where people are partying as the waves are crashing over the top, thinking it's funny. we get a lot of that, folks here who have never lived through a hurricane. maybe it doesn't seem that bad, but they can ride it out with a hurricane party

that before daytona beach and melbourne. that will be the highest risk.t the chance of severe weather threat today and also tomorrow. back to you guys. >> certainly a whole lot to watch. okay, michelle, thank you. as ian moves across florida, the states east coast is beginning to be bombarded by torrential rain. the national weather service issued a flash flood warning from daytona beach to cape canaveral overnight. joining us now is the mayor of cape canaveral, wes morrison. west, we appreciate you being with us with so much on your plate right now. let's talk about, this considering you're getting battered in the thick of it. what are you seeing outside your window now? >> thank you, francis and philip. right now, it is very loud outside. we have some weather stations you saw in the city. the last readings we received were around 11:00 pm. and we are seeing gusts pushing 50 miles per hour. now, a couple of hours later, and we have seen tremendous uptick in wind speeds and rain. and we really do not know the damage, because until it passes, we're staying

we have gusts up to about fifty three daytona beach, 19 mile per hour winds. so it's a bit breezy, but it's certainly going to continue to pick up. and i'm sure you can hear that wind outside the window as well. the wind direction out of orlando, leesburg, all coming out of the north just to show you that that center of circulation, that core of ian still off to your south as it continues to lift up, we will see a shift in that wind direction. but it's those north northeasterly winds, especially across the coast in northeast florida, that we are going to see the concern for some of that storm surge begin to pick up in the coming hours as we have that onslaught of winds pushing that water into our coastal communities. take throughout the day on thursday, you can see that center, that core of emerging into the atlantic. we can see that wind shift, that direction pushing that wind on shore. so places like jacksonville, st. augustine, we're going to see the possibility of 50 to 60 mile per hour wind gusts through the afternoon. storm surge is going to be a concern

through orlando toward daytona beach to west palm?well, we're mainly worried about, some of these areas, you have folks that have moved to florida, they don't understand that tornadoes often come about when you see the hurricane events, we're trying hard to make sure they take the storm seriously, some counties that did not know they will be affected will, because it so massive, we need people to heed the warnings it is very important with this incredibly huge hurricane. >> thank you so much ashley moody, attorney general and congressman thank you so much. >> we'll stay on the story throughout the hour. we will breakaway for other coverage, we want to give you updates on storm hitting florida. and this. >> take on this growing new debate in dc. where are the top democrat women? why are they awol? why are they not spiking out now about rising u.s. crime is hurts women and their families. will their silence on this hurt them in midterms. >> hurricane ian raising concerned, brian mass about spending. also more than a million now without

what would that mean for daytona?after the fact, but it will mean we know some of our areas that are adjacent to us known as the nova canal are prone to flooding, and they will have probably historic damage. but, you know, i dare not estimate what that will be. i just know we'll have a long road ahead to recovery. but, you know, if we can come through with our lives intact, we will consider ourselves to have done what we can and we will respond to the tragedy ahead. >> recovery can come after that, for sure. well, you're in the midst of it right now, mayor. thank you very much for coming on. let's hope daytona beach doesn't get the worst of it, as we are seeing over and over again in so many other parts of the state. thank you very much for your time. >>> thank you for being here. an important note, for more information on how you can help the victims of hurricane ian, you can go to cnn.com/impact for more information on vetted organizations that can help you help them. cnn's special coverage of hurricane ian continue

daytona beach where they are getting tropical storm force winds.f you look at the track go into friday 75 miles per hour. 7 # makes it a hurricane. this will be a border line cat 1 hurricane. we do have hurricane watches up and down the coast line from coastal georgia all the way up towards the carolinas. just take a look at friday and saturday. still at least tropical storm force winds along the southeast coast. so that's going to be a big deal. storm surge 3 to 5 feet in these vulnerable areas. tropical storm warnings are in effect, watches that extend well inland. and then hurricane watches so i want people to be prepared for hurricane conditions for northern parts of florida, georgia, in towards the carolinas. we are not done and the ground is saturated here so flooding is going to be a big concern. it's not going to take a lot of rain to cause flooding and 2 to 3 inches in an hour. that's not out of the question. flash flood threats certainly for northeast florida but all the way up the coast line along these vulnerable beaches. storm surge 3

is jacksonville, daytona beach, looking at that category one storm. that was as of 2:00, we'll see what happens in the next advisory. we are south southeast of orlando florida. so it continues to move very, very slowly, across the peninsula of florida. that is part of the problem, because it allows a lot of rain to continue to be dropped in one spot. we do have a lot of tropical are still in place. a hurricane warning, meaning hurricane conditions are still happening there. you can see, it takes that the whole coast, coast to coast and central florida. we're also looking at the stretching in the georgia and north carolina and south carolina. and we'll probably see them expand beyond it in some spots, we're looking at heavy rain where we saw jesse's live spot, that rain is falling. he's gonna be in and out of these really heavy rain dance, we're also looking at gusty winds, about 67 miles per hour, you could find really wet ground with those gusty winds, trees are gonna come, down power lines are gonna come down. that's gonna cause additional power out

the strong winds of ian already impacting daytona beach along the western coast as it slowly moves towards orlando. the storm has been downgraded to a category one. it is still packing a powerful punch. there are nearly 2 1/2 million power outage as cross the state. >> ian made land fall in southwest florida in the ft. myers area where the storm surge submerged buildings. it could take days or weeks to know the full impact. the county manager tells nbc news overnight they are getting a sense that the community has been decimated. >> and in port charlotte, north of ft. myers, this hospital says they were hit from above and below. the storm surge flooded the lower level emergency room and the winds, the wind tore part the fourth floor roof which is where the intensive care unit is. drss forced to evacuate the hospital's sickest patients. some of them on ventilators. we have floerz across florida this morning ready to give us live updates on what is happening along the storm's path. we want to bring in our anchor jose who is in bradenton, florida. south of tampa. we heard the words like decim

congressman mike walt's, florida congress and, his district includes the daytona beach area.out, the state is under this dangerous watch here, what is the latest in your district? >> the hurricane center is projecting the eye of the storm to pass over daytona and one of the things you have to realize with inland counties or the ones on the eastern seaboard or the east coast of florida, all of my counties are calling for an evacuation. my own home and family have been evacuated because you get a trifecta you get the slow moving storm that just pounds everyone with overwhelming storms and rain and tornadoes which are a real threat but it also pushes waters up the inland rivers and lakes that can cause inland flooding and you get a right hook with the counterclockwise wind as it passes off the east coast, the turns around and gives you a storm surge, rainouts affecting 3 to 5 feet. it is that triple punch that can be absolutely devastating to even the inland and eastern parts of florida and on top of that, the thing i'm worried about is we have thousand people a day moving into

. >> reporter: it's expected to move across central florida andt daytona beach sometime tomorrow. tomorrow. emergency officials said tonight have already started receiving some request for help from people who stayed in areas that are now inundated by floodwaters there are a lot of rescue and disaster crews that are here many of them are still staged and waiting for the for the worst of the wind to move out so that they can move . in tampa florida, jason allen kp kp x5 puck . >> i just checked in on the 5:00 the 5:00 update. the latest info info on that. this is still a category 3. wind speeds at 115 miles an hour. they were 150 when it came on shore right there that is at about noon today and you can see it still has the structure to it. this is this is live radar over the last the last six hours. now we are going to switch to the future cast to see what happens to this this next we will take that cirn that circulation and bring it ts the state of florida it is headg for daytona beach by the time it time it gets there tomorrow morg it's likely already downgraded o a tropical stor

places like daytona beach, cape canaveral? notice this.o a little bit up in towards portions of georgia and south carolina. tropical storm warnings in effect because the track of the storm brings about over water and then see a second landfall from ian, so even though florida by far getting the worst of it, we are going to still deal with this storm all the way probably until about sunday. we have got bring rain coming from the southern appalachians from this. expecting to see significant flooding there. this is the official track. this takes us into landfall some time friday night probably a strong tropical storm maybe as a hurricane making landfall in georgia, south carolina border. wouldn't be as much as a storm surge story there wouldn't have that much time to build up any of that water. big window impact again and a lot of rain. there you go, hard to believe this storm still looks like this and we are about 8 and a half hours since the center of the storm or the wall of the storm first started coming out there on to those islands. now

overnight daytona beach, getting drenched as ian makes its way up to jacksonville. the mayor, already closing three major beaches. abc is trevor ault is in jacksonville. this thing is so big and its path is so powerful that it's expected to march all the way across the state of florida dip back into the atlantic ocean on the eastern side and then slammed back into the coast here on the first coast, the atlantic ocean side here of florida, so jacksonville is bracing for flooding that they haven't seen in several years. residents not taking any chances we've got, like really three high tides to make it through here. hunker down. stand bag. if you've got sandbags, put them up if you fear in a flood prone area. um just just stay off the roads and hunkered down because here we go . meanwhile, bands already affecting georgia wind whipping on jekyll island, england county , georgia governor brian kemp issuing a state of emergency residents stock up on a central's as ready as i can be. i live in ardsley park with lots of those old live oak trees, so i'm worried about all th

daytona beach there, pretty close the center of that storm%system. and this is expected to move a little bit further to the north here and start to track slowly. here's the forecast model. what we call spaghetti plot. give you an idea. there are several models on here and you watch through time this different models are forecasting right now. most of those really paying a beeline towards charleston. there's one out there. one wants to take back out in the atlantic. but right now looks like charleston is going to see the system come on shore, possibly as a category one. there may be some more strengthening as we head into the 24 hours, but looks like that's going make landfall by tomorrow, guys as a category one. and all right. under the right to it. yeah, unrelenting. and we're going to see just a mess all up and down. you know that once it comes onshore, stills got a ton of moisture and all that moisture has got to go somewhere. see it all the way up and down the street. i'm afraid to ask this, but are there any other hurricanes in the pipeline? >>

up towards daytona beach where we are seeing several inches of rain in a short period of time.2 feed of rain and of course power outages. over 2 million people right now without power. and as the storm continues to move north and west. out into the atlantic, could strengthen a little bit. making a second landfall over coastal georgia and then in towards the carolinas and we will continue to keep you up to date of course here on "fox & friends." brian, pete, and ainsley, over to you. >> janice, what he was the likelihood it actually intensifies significantly? >> it won't intensify significantly. we could go up to a hurricane again once it gets out into the warm waters of the atlantic. the rules are still going to be the same which is heavy rainfall, flooding rainfall and we still have storm surge advisories all up and down the southeast coast and hurricane watches as well. so hurricane conditions for northeastern portions of florida and the carolinas so we are not done yet. i always say it doesn't take a tropical system to cause a lot of damage. the ground is saturated it can't

. >> frank, daytona beach, florida. >> i am calling it because i went to ask you if you think that nonfiction or fiction literature is more important to society, and as a follow-up, what is your favorite fictional book? >> i tend to read more nonfiction than fiction to be honest, but i cannot say that fiction is insignificant. fiction books have had more impact on society than many other nonfiction books. uncle tom's cabin had an enormous impact on society. i think gone with the wind had an important impact on society as well. fiction books have done incredible things to change the attitudes of society. nonfiction books have a big impact as well. >> how to invest, how to lead, two books in her series. >> i am thinking i should do out to interview, the skill of interviewing? you should write a book about it. >> investing, can it hinge on luck? >> everything in life hinges on luck but you make your own luck. if you were waiting for something lucky it to happen it probably will not happen. you make your luck by contacts, adding to know people. luck is an important part of life and investing is a

that will impact, looking towards orlando, daytona and then swanking up north. in the cone we have 25 million people impacted by that. the greatest concern still ahead is that storm surge. we have historic storm surge right now, in naples. they're closing five feet of water over land. just north of there, bonita springs, pun at that goard ga, caloosahatchee river in fort myers downtown, 18 feet of storm surge pushing in. as i'm talking they're at low tide. high tide could exacerbate this afternoon, evening when it comes in. you notice wind bars continue to push this onshore. this will not let off coming from hours. as we look at the hurricane warning it noticed it stretches through the heart of the state, moves over daytona, out towards the space coast. so the worst of it starting to push in. you saw that with robert ray and ashley. really hours to come, people need to hunker down, seek shelter. this is a volatile system that is only gained energy and rapid intensification through the morning time. neil. neil: steve, thinking of staggering numbers you mentioned,

lucy up to daytona and orlando. this doesn't look at significant as it did when it made land fall because it doesn't have the warm gulf waters to fuel it, but still very heavy winds and rain fall we're seeing that as the back eye of the eye wall is still now moving on through. they're getting hit with round number two with that strong wind around the eye, it's leading to the storm surge flooding that ali was talking about. there is the potential for a storm surge more than 15 feet. as those winds relax a little bit as the center of circulation starts to relax just a little bit, it's still going to be a very powerful and very dangerous storm, we're going to see some of the storm surge coming down along the gulf coast but pick up across southeast georgia and into the carolinas too captiva had a gust of 126 miles per hour that's an an ef2 tornado, but this is covering a larger area and many for a more prolonged period of type that's going to lead to all the damage orlando, we're going to start seeing our winds pick up

near the daytona to jacksonville area.gnificant rainfall with the possibility of up to 25 inches in isolated parts of florida. as always, there's a possibility for tornadoes. the main message i have for everyone in florida is that this is going to impact everyone in different ways. you need to stay focused. i did speak with governor desantis on friday to hear his main concerns and his priorities for the response and the preparedness actions. we immediately began moving resources and personnel in. president biden signed governor desantis' emergency declaration request on saturday. this made sure we were able to immediately start supporting the governor's concerns that he relayed to me. the preparation for this storm has been extensive and it has been coordinated. it has been a coordinated effort between fema, our federal, our state and our non-profit partners. a little bit about some of that forward leaning posture we put in place. search and rescue we know that this is going to be a priority. we have established a search a

so here we are, ian is right offshore of daytona beach, and you can see the swirl around it.rain with this, and now anywhere from jacksonville to charleston, to myrtle beach, heck, even the outer banks in north carolina will be feeling the impacts of the storm as we head into tonight and tomorrow. all these colors you're seeing are all wind-related, right? so hurricane warnings set up for myrtle beach, charleston and savannah where they could see 75 mile-per-hour or higher wind gusts as we go with through the next few days. and then everybody in red under a tropical storm warning, that's 40 mile-per-hour wind gusts or higher. and look at how far inland that extends, augusta, georgia, charlotte, north carolina, winston-salem. a lot of the state of north carolina really going to see big impacts from ian as it makes its second u.s. landfall here. you can see how big this wind field is, and we're talking about another landfall maybe somewhere in between charleston or myrtle beach tomorrow afternoon around noon or one or two eastern. that's a problem. obviously, this storm is goin

daytona beach, back down through seminole county, this water problem. the flash flood watches, because we expect the storm going north, have been extended to raleigh and fayetteville. by the end of today, all of south carolina will also go under a flood watch. that's where the storm is headed. the new update from the 11:00 advisory from the hurricane center. it came offshore off cape canaveral. assume one category worse. right now, category 1 at landfall. if it was higher, i think we would be surprised. i wouldn't rule it out. this has been an overachiever ever since we started tracking this thing before it hit cuba. it's moving northeast at nine. here is the forecast path from the hurricane center. parallels the coast tonight. conditions shouldn't get that much worse from jacksonville north to georgia. savannah shouldn't have a ton of problems with rain. we get up here into charleston, georgetown, heading -- hilton head, these are areas that will have to consider if you want to stay in your house. listen to evacuation orders. often they don't evacuate

category 3 will lift to the north, move towards daytona beach. all the way eventually curling back into the carolinas. dropping heavy rain. winds about 65 miles an hour there will be some weakening there will be a major damage path in the wake of this as it moves back to the north. >> now you know "the news" of this wednesday, september 28th, 2022, a date that will live in history in southwest florida and across the history across the history "today" show with updates. why do nearly one million businesses choose stamps.com to mail and ship? no more trips to the post office no more paying full price for postage and great rates from usps and ups mail letters ship packages anytime anywhere for less a lot less get our special tv offer a 4-week trial plus postage and a digital scale go to stamps.com/tv and never go to the post office again >>> and hurricane ian slamming into florida as a category 4 storm leaving 2 million without power as it churns up north. >>> bucking the trend as one of

that includes daytona beach down to fort pierce. we could see hurricane-force winds. we will see hurricane-force winds. and we will see a brief tornadoes. typically with hurricanes we see brief tornadoes. we're thinking back a lot of power, so that is something we are concerned about. winds, destructive winds, of course, when you think of hurricanes why we think the winds. and we still do have a wind story. not quite as strong as we had a couple hours ago. it's going to weaken over the next several hours. but we are still seeing winds gusting up 72 miles per hour in st. augustine. 73 miles per hour wind gust in daytona beach, orlando. 89 miles per hour. orlando, you're going to have a tough night, you are hearing those winds help. i know it is dark maybe you don't have power. or likely you are going to lose your power if these winds continue. but you're going to hear those winds howling overnight. it's going to feel like a freight train inside like a freight train. and that is gonna cause some problems. so, structural damage -- we already had something like -- we are
