they're up near daytona beach and some other family in central florida. they're kind of hunkered down at this point as you. well know, it's batteries flashlight. and make sure you have enough food and supplies to last you at least 1 to 2 weeks. if that power goes out. okay. well, i hope this stays safe. thanks. you too. okay, here's another live look at florida. this is a live camera from saint petersburg. the area barely visible right now with all that wind and rain. now, right before milton made landfall, i spoke with nbc bay area's jay gray, who was about two hours south in fort myers. that's also on the west coast. fort myers police have said that they are done patrolling at this point, that they are off of the streets now. and so anyone who is here is on their own until this storm moves through, about 400,000 people in mandatory evacuation zones here in lee county, which is the fort myers area. good news is we've been out on fort myers beach. we've been around fort myers. it looks like a lot of people did listen to those warnings did move to higher g

daytona beach, hurricane force winds, orlando, 45 mile-per-hour winds. beach, 66 mile-per-hour winds. so, still packing a punch on the east coast of florida. and you talk about top wind history, charlie, 106. this is for orlando. milton is 4. so this is a formidable storm. and i have always said don't concentrate on the category when it makes landfall. it was a 3. the results are going to be immense even though it was just a category 3. back to you. >> steve: and to your point, janice, i remember after katrina, first thing in the morning we had live reporters in the french quarter and elsewhere, they said it didn't seem like it was that bad. >> janice: on the newspaper the next day said they dodged a bullet. i remember. >> steve: it wasn't until about 7:30 when the crews started going out and they saw the devastation and they saw all the flooding. that's when it hit everybody. that was one of the worst storms ever. >> janice: last storm helene, right? it took us a couple of days to realize the scope of the damage not just for florida but for the carolina

fox weather meteorologist haley meyeeyr live in daytona beach, florida, with more. ah, >> hey, guys. yeah, we are out w in daytone aa beach. as you mentioned, this is the worst that it's been. we are sort of in a wind tunnele right now. we're seeking shelter for our cameraor our. we've had all sorts of technical issues. but hey, being in the rain is going bu beingn the to do . point the wind is pulling this right in my face. it feels like little pins and needles coming into my face as well. i mentioned this earlier. menti used to play soccer in college and they taught us, bend your knees. so bend yonees you can check peo it works the same forvera hurricane coverage hergee. to when it comes to the storm surge. it started to come up. we're seeing quite a bit of sea foam. i think that's a really key thing herereally . but the storm surge as well is making its way into the street just behind stre j. not a good time to be a major s issue for what it's called atlantic highway. it's the main thoroughfare througthrough this island, but s certainly not a good spot here closer

jeff, we'll start with you there in central florida and right along the east coast near daytona beachthey're not being asked to evacuate parts of daytona beach are if you're up against the immediate coastline near the atlantic. so for them, it's basically weathering the storm. so hunkering down food, water, testing the generator because they have to be ready for maybe to go without power for a week or two. and i have to tell you, even though central florida to daytona beach, where i have family, even though they're not at that direct landfall zone, they're still being impacted here. yeah. and they all pretty much have ptsd. a lot of people in central florida, because there are only two years out from cleaning up from hurricane ian, which just left them with some historic damage that they're still cleaning up from where some homes along the beach were, were just leveled or washed out to sea and kris. it's amazing. we're talking about ptsd. this is just from a couple of weeks ago. even for many people in florida, including your parents. yeah, my parents are. you saw that live shot of ta

so erosion will be a big issue for friends and family that lived on daytona beach.wer outages in those are clicking up. if you haven't done so already, make sure you charge your cell phone and the whole nine yards and set the ac in your house a little cooler so if you're power goes out, a cooler starting point. something we will be on top of the entire day and the effects of milton will certainly be felt here. >> todd: statewide and not just the area. michael, stay safe and thank you for your time here jokes the navy on the ground in florida with storm response and hard at work as save a driver at the semi truck flipped by a tornado. ran treasure at the spokesperson of the navy joins me now. kudos to get out and solve problems in the early stages of this event. but let's keep in mind, you have helped north carolina following helene and now responding to milton. how did you divide and conquer these two storms, brian? they came in with an amazing team and volunteers. we had a different operation north carolina and had to step up her first major air operations due to t

but we're looking at tampa, spring hill, orlando, daytona beach under a flash flood warning. we'll see once the sun comes up. we're looking at 83 miles per hour gusts in daytona beach. >> i hope those people will be able to exhale if not this weekend then after. >>> let's turn now to the other storm. the political one. over misinformation about disaster relief and the federal government's response to helene and milton. all this less than a month before election day. alice barr joins us from d.c. hi, alice, good morning. >> reporter: florida residents are hunkering down as hurricane milton bears down across the state, while president biden is urging those in the storm's path to listen to local officials. and he's promising to help recover and rebuild, despite misinformation about the federal government's response. on wednesday, the president called out disinformation from some on the right about the federal emergency management agency, calling that un-american and ridiculous. >> there's been a reckless, irresponsible and relentless promotion of disinformation and outright lies

florida's east coast. >> steve: amanda mckenzie is live in daytona beach right now.e again, we checked in with her a little while ago, and the wind is still coming at you. >> yeah. we have moved to the coast side of the hotel now where the wind is still very strong, about 68 miles per hour. the sustained winds. but have you strong gusts at times. i want to show you the ocean waves here. this is a storm surge. it is really come right up to the building. so there is really no beach left at this time. and that really is a concern for homeowners who live on the beach and what this could do to erosion situation there. this is a community that has been vulnerable since hurricane ian and nicole and helene and now milton. it is still a category 1 hurricane churning as it moves into the atlantic from the east coast here in daytona beach. the wind speeds as i mentioned still very strong. i want to show you in this direction, you can see the tent on the second floor ripped apart and market lights just swinging in the wind. did i just get an update from the volusia county sherif

daytona beach, specifically, stretching into portions of of central florida into orlando that's where you can see the heaviest of the rain is right now. definitely folks in palm coast stretching down to oak hill, that's where you'll see the most torrential downpours happening. and for that no surprise we've got the flood alerts up for a good chunk of the region. the flash flood risk there today specifically centered from melbourne to orlando and points north of there. we're going to see that wind down for places like tampa and sarasota as we see dryer conditions. still, it's the east coast especially this morning we'll to watch for the potential of flooding. it was incredible flooding from the west coast into the overnight hours. we saw really impressive rainfall amounts happening in places like st. petersburg, where in a 1-hour window we received 5 inches of rain. that is a 1 in 1,000-year event kind of rainfall. and you can see over 18 inches in just a 24-hour period. so a flash flooding emergency was ongoing for folks there. that has since expired, but we still have flash flooding

and lester, also tornadoes possible from daytona beach, sebring, all the way down to key largo.ster? >> all right, al, thanks very much. on the way here today, we saw roads leading out of the flood zones filled with traffic, many who witnessed what helene did a few weeks ago complied with mandatory evacuation orders and made their escapes from the storm zone, leaving behind community likes this one, empty and vulnerable. tonight, time is running out with the ferocious category 5 hurricane milton heading straight for the florida gulf coast. >> you must leave. i'm not asking you to leave. i'm telling you, you must leave. >> in vulnerable areas, police blasting out last-minute notices to evacuate. >> quickly secure your home or business and safely evacuate the area. >> there are signs many here are heeding the dire warnings. >> absolutely going to leave now. take whatever i can get in my car. >> bumper-to-bumper traffic heading out of town, while some of the region's most iconic communities look like ghost towns. in st. pete beach, we found the streets piles of mostly empty today,

basically daytona beach in jacksonville, this area getting an onshore wind. this is going to at least create the potential for a brief spin up tornadoes. we get these cells that come off of the ocean, interact with the land, get friction and allow for that spin to happen very quickly. so the tornado threat, and i just checked from the storm prediction center, still around 2% within this area. so we can't, that's not negligible. we'd still need to leave that in as more of an immediate threat for this region, even though the eye is moving off, coat, off the coast, you can see the wind gusts here in daytona beach at 83 miles per hour sustained at 62. so still a very difficult next few hours, especially for the eastern seaboard. but let's just lay are on the other threats that are ongoing right now because we have had a large swath of over ten inches of rain fall from the sky. we're talking about two to three months worth rainfall in a matter of a day. this is just incredible. so the flash flooding that is ongoing across hillsborough county and to the north and e

daytona beach at 68.stay indoors along the coast of federal florida. we'll start to see improvements. orlando is at 51. tampa and st. pete, we'll get out there early, the first responders for anyone who needs help. the winds are dying down quickly on the west side. rainfall totals, this was insane last night. from 8:00 to 9:00 p.m., we had 5 inches of rain fall in st. petersburg. that's a lot of rain anywhere in the world. if you did the math on this, this was a one in one thousand year event there. the rainfall totals in 24 hours almost approaching 20 inches. that's why we had a lot of -- not the surge in ampa bay but flash flood warning. i-4, orlando to daytona beach under flash flood warnings from the heavy rain we had last night. willie, you know, it was a category 3. it wasn't a 4 or a 5. that's why we didn't have the 15 foot storm surge. we did have reports of 10 foot surge. we have yet to see what that damage does. we haven't seen the pictures from the barrier islands, you know, from sarasota south

you hit daytona beach. ere are some predictions daytona could get 18 inches of rain by this time tomorrow night. so we have gone from the west coast to the east coast down to the south. there is a hurricane here, laura, i think it was 2017, hurricane irma. irma came up the west side of florida. it impacted 67 counties in florida. all 67 counties were impacted by this hurricane. earlier today at day break governor desantis said 51 counties will be affected by this storm. that gives gives you a sense about how large this will be. the florida division of emergency management sent out a tweet on x a short time ago. here it is. milton is approaching landfall along the west central florida coast. all right? so they said treat this as if it is a tornado. and the warning went out for tampa, st. petersburg and clearwater. well there is 3.2 million people who call that area home. and so many of them have left and the reason they left is because of helene 13 days ago. we are in a hotel here in orlando. and just about e

goes over central florida, and by thursday morning it starts to exit anywhere from daytona beach to fort pierce. 85 mile per hour winds, 15 plus inches of rain, a storm surge that could be 15ft high. so massive on all fronts. we'll get you more updates on this. and of course, some bay area rain chances coming up. all right jeff, thanks. and you heard jeff there. milton is currently a category five. this is view from spacex. and astronaut docked at the international space station. posted this time lapse. it is a massive and powerful storm. check this out five. let me grab my phone real quick. so what you're looking at here is a team of researchers with the national oceanic and atmospheric administration that braved major turbulence to collect critical data about hurricane milton. equipment went flying through the cabin at one point, as milton churns toward tampa. make sure to stay with us for the latest. are today in the bay. will be tracking it overnight. tune in beginning at 5 a.m. for the very latest. our other headlines tonight. the emotional and bitter process of closing down public

category three one 25 mile per hour winds over central florida exits around daytona beach up to about 85 mile per hour winds by thursday night. so again, thursday morning landfall thursday evening. it's out the other side. so again, tampa bay would be the first zone of impact. we could get up to 15in of rain and the storm surge up to 15ft for that western coast. and that's the same coastline of florida that got hit by helene just within the past two weeks. so this is going to be a real extremely tough go for this dangerous storm. and just remind me here the water temperature is so warm here. that's what intensifies these hurricanes. yes. great question. so the hurricanes all feed off that warmer water. it just kind of acts as like jet fuel for it. so when you get over those warmer waters, you get rapid intensification. so while we have category three projected on here, there is the chance maybe it stays a category four and goes up to a category four, maybe a five. or it could go down to a two. we just don't know the whole behavior of that until it gets up against the coastline. i thin

how about daytona beach? we will see significant storm surges, three to five feet. especially as you get toward high tide tomorrow morning. we have water issues. saint augustine, daytona beach. we are now over 1 1/2 million people without power. there is that gust in sarasota, 97 in venice. as far as the storm surge goes, lawrence, from naples, port charlotte, inglewood, venice to sarasota. all of those areas have water in their downtown right now because the storm surge is currently at its max. >> bill, sarasota seems to be the place where it is maybe hit the hardest. >> reporter: we have seen pictures of stop signs underwater. i saw a report of a 10 foot storm surge. when you get 10 feet of storm surge and then you have wave action on top of it you're going to get not just water on the first floor, but potentially on the second floor. and these are all reports, lawrence, from the inland areas, or right on the side of the bay. we are not talking about all of these remote little barrier islands out here that people evacuated from. we are feel full of what that will

the rain continues to fall, especially heavy around daytona beach. it's still raining in tampa and saint petersburg, down towards sarasota and fort myers as well. some pulls farther to the's, but it's also the threat of tornados with the landfalling hurricane. all the red dots are confirmed tornados. as the daylight dawns early tomorrow they're going to confirm dozens more of these. over 130 tornado warnings issued as milton approached shore earlier today. this has been an all day event, and they're going to pick up six more inches of rain around daytona beach. not that much more for tampa, mercifully, but they've had over 11 inches of rain in 24 hours. that breaks the record for all of october in tampa. it happened just today. fortunately for the bay area, our weather is less exceptional, especially compared to that heat wave we had to begin the month of october. our forecast in a few minutes. >> paul, thanks for sorting that out for us. while a lot of people rushed to evacuate from their homes before the hurricane, one person decided to stay on his

daytona beach, orlando, melbourne, tampa, sarasota. watch for twists, big-time tornados. the surge is happening now. 9 to 13 feet just to our north. 8 to 12 around here. 6 to 9 feet, david, around you. the surge is going to last the next four or five hours, and high tide is early tomorrow morning. so it's only going to grow. >> david: ginger, just extraordinary wind gusts right here with this hurricane making landfall as we're on the air. excellent reporting from you and the team. please stay safe. the stunning power of this hurricane was already clear even before landfall tonight. those tornados ripping through neighborhoods. at least 30 reported tornados already. and of course the real concern is this potentially historic storm surge that ginger said is now following this hurricane making landfall. victor oquendo is in sarasota where they're obviously feeling this at this hour. >> reporter: tonight, monster hurricane milton unleashing a tornado outbreak across florida. at least 30 twisters reported already. terrifying home surveillance video capturing the moment this to

haley myers there in daytona beach, foxworthy meteorologist. how are things licking there?ent day. when dei will give you that talking 10-50 mile-per-hour winds but the sun was out naming people were when -- working on her tentative prime minister justin trudeau healthy level of knowledge, people understand what's coming right around the corner -- but this one behind me this was a home that got hit twice. once from hurricane ian with the storm surge and then once again with nicole. nicole was just a tropical storm but it does that final blow to this particular home. spoke with some residents in this area and i think one of the reasons why it's been two years now ian and nicole back in 2022 since we've seen this home begin to recover, there is some litigation involved when it comes to the insurance companies because it was coastal erosion not necessarily wind and flood. people sometimes get into the minute details here because this is such a vulnerable area, to hurricane damage. notice is more of a residential spot here but we can be bracing for up to 5 feet of storm surge i

a couple of rain bands still working through parts of the space coast, daytona beach and points south of there, titusville, you heard chase tell you in parts of volusia county, brevard county, 6 to 12 inches of rain in a short period of time. the flooding you saw, the visuals from where chase is, we're seeing that across much of this area. that's some of the spots we still have the flood alerts up for and those will likely stay with us definitely through the morning hours and even into this afternoon. when it comes to the wind, that's also winding down. more good news. we just got some gusty winds still for places like melbourne, daytona beach, but those really destructive winds are long gone. and we're going to kind of start to see things getting quieter. here is where they were, though. we topped out at 107 miles per hour in venice beach. these are some of the areas, sarasota, sky way, fishing pier, where the sky way bridge is at the mouth of tampa bay, those are the wind speeds where that northern eyewall was. the area we were most concerned for folks to have to go through with win

much of the state will fill this, 62 per-mile-an-hour winds daytona beach, 384 madero beach and that will go the next couple of hours. and you saw the backside of the storm and then by this afternoon it will be out of here. but we will see some pretty frisky winds on the east coast of florida. and the damage when the sun comes up here till they will be extensive damage, there is no doubt. >> carley: you were talking about the tornado someone at the big tragedies we already know about when it comes to the storm coach at the tornadoes ripped through st. louis seemed to and it hit a mobile home retirement community and there were fatalities reported. i can imagine people in the area thought they were on the east coast of florida and stayed in their mobile homes and how people have died. >> listen, we have the warnings and we knew potentially it could be bad. we always knew the orlando east coast of florida with category 1 hurricane with 100 mile-per-hour winds. you can only do so much as a forecaster and local officials to say hey, this is a big deal not only for the best ghosts the for

how about daytona beach? we will see significant storm surge of three to five feet here. high tide. water issues, saint augustine, daytona beach. one-and-a-half million people without power. there is that 102 gust in sarasota. as far as storage surge goes, i have seen pictures. venice, sarasota, all of those areas have water downtown now. because the storm surge is currently at its max. >> bill, sarasota seems to be the place where it is maybe hit the hardest. >> we have seen pictures of stop signs underwater. one report of ten foot of storm surge. so when you get ten feet of storm surge, and wave action on top of it, potentially on the second floor. and these are all reports lawrence from the inland areas. right on the east side of the bay. we are not talking about all these remote little barrier islands people evacuated from. we are fear l of what that will look like at daybreak. >> bill karins, thank you for that report. >>> with the hurricane bearing down on florida today, the stock market closed once again at an all-time record high. something that donald trump said

i think all the forecasting right now is for daytona beach, the east coast experiencing excess of 75 miles an our window. it is rare when you go west to east, it is more common across the atlantic. there is a trofts of the east coast of florida, sometimes it hits a trough and it stalls out or changes directions where it weakens. it is way different on the west coast of florida, that is a gradual slow that comes in and the entire way. it is almost a perfect ramp for this storm and this surge to follow, to build on top of the other. when the water comes in, it's five, 10, 15 feet high and the waves are crashing on top of that. that is on homes and buildings cannot stand anymore. that is what florida on the west coast is looking at this hours. >> martha: tampa bay, that is just a breeding ground to bring that storm surge. we will see how it goes, we are plaintiff mccrank for everybody, thank you very much. we will speak more tea in the coming hours. hurricane milton from above to measure its strength and to send signals back down so we can all get an update on where it is going. listen

. >> reporter: i'm in daytona beach where the conditions are seriously deteriorating. we are feeling the full force of milton right now. i want to tell you exactly what we're seeing on the ground. if you look all the way at those lights down the street, you can see that the rain is practically going sideways. palm trees are getting knocked around like bowling pins. and the rain, the gusts is intense. as we look ahead to the hours in the morning, we will see more of these hurricane force winds, more of this rain. for the most part people have evacuated out of this area. ise that good thing. >> definitely a good thing, tom. thanks. we want to thank all of our reporters and crews for keeping us informed during this storm. >>> coming up, stopping storm disinformation. president biden's response to donald trump's false claims about disaster relief. >>> and the president speaks with israel's leader for the first time in months. what they discussed as israel plans to retaliate against iran. ? —nope! —uh oh. new mucinex 2-in-1 saline nasal spray. —spray goodbye. —aaaaaaahhhhh!

it's still a category one storm as it pushes in those showers just north of daytona beach. another way to look at a hurricane could also be by the pressure down here. right now it's at 980 millibars. it went down to 897. so just the ferocity of that storm as it pushed through florida was very impressive and just a really life changing situation for those people there. as we go throughout the morning, it will quickly push on east and out into the atlantic later on. by this afternoon as well. we are also looking at still the warnings up and down the florida coast, up towards parts of charleston, parts of georgia as well, where that flash flood threat could remain for today as those heavy rains just pound down on that part of the region. those gusty winds still at times bringing that dangerous surf and that storm surge, which could range today 3 to 5ft. so a situation worth watching. and as the sun rises, we just think of everybody in florida and those areas affected. i'll be back with a look at our local weather in just a few minutes. back to you guys. all right. we will chec

you can see right now, daytona beach winds, gusting to 83 miles per hour. and on this radar, all you have to do is really just follow the rain bands to see the direction of that wind and because it's coming off shore, because the eye is moving off the eastern coastline of florida. this is where we're getting that onshore component and that is going to push up water from the atlantic. and therefore, national hurricane center has continued the storm surge warning for the treasure coast all the way past the florida georgia border. this is where we have three to five feet of storm surge potential. and we've lowered the numbers here in tampa bay. we saw the reversal reverse storm surge because of the placement of the i just south and siesta key. but there is still some elevated surge values across extreme southwestern portions of the state. this storm dumped a lot of rain. in fact, you can clearly see it on this radar, estimated rainfall total tampa, orlando, we're talking about two to three months it's of rain fell from the sky and it's not done yet in some loc

which is also substantial and also unfortunately focused in the sae i--4 corridor from atlanta to daytona beachs have already seen six plus inches of rain already and we haven't even seen milton's center make landfall. near to the left of the track of the center is where we will see the heaviest rainfall. the area highlighted in pink is the highest risk of life-threatening and flash and urban flooding playing out tonight and thursday, including orlando, daytona beach, down to sarasota and near melbourne, also risk extending north and south of that, maybe in a more isolated fashion. next, i want to talk about the impacts of that much rain and what that kind of catastrophic flash flooding looks like. you will see water entering homes and businesses. people will be forced to be rescued and evacuated from flooded areas. you are going to have flooded roads that will make moving around evacuation difficult, and it's going to be a very dangerous situation to be out and about, another reason to shelter in place and you have this much rainfall in this type of flooding, places flood the don't normally fl

, 6 to 12 inches, amounts as high as 18 inches from heavily populated corridor from orlando to daytona beachpread and flash flooding and urban flooding tonight into thursday in that area. that's an area where we lost 16 people to hurricane ian with tremendous flooding. there's a tremendous risk to life and property there. i do want to thank the administrator of fema for her team and coordination. and final my, i want to thank the noaa and hurricane hunters flying into milton for days now providing tremendously valuable direct data that has saved the forecast and warnings, thank you, mr. president. >> mike i know you're tired of hearing me say it, but i appreciate your constant input you're giving me and letting me know what's going on. what more can you tell us about how the location of this stock is going to affect the storm surge in florida? i mean, is that pretty consequential, right? the surge, that's what you're focusing on? >> yes, mr. president. just a shift of a few miles in landfall location will make a big difference in what area sees that very worst storm surge. so a track to the

and even by early tomorrow morning, like 5 a.m, daytona beach to new smyrna could be feeling some ofse hurricane force gusts. definitely tropical storm force. and i think we'll see a lot of power outages overnight. we'll get rid of milton by tomorrow afternoon, but not before it leaves behind up to 18in of rain. and that's for places like tampa bay that are on track for their wettest season on record. so just unbelievable to watch that water push in the gulf of mexico has now reached the pool at our hotel byron. >> our thanks to ginger, we turn now to eva pilgrim on the ground in orlando. eva. >> byron. we're here in orlando and we are starting to see the more powerful winds and downpour from hurricane milton. when you look at the track of where this hurricane is headed, it's going to be just south of orlando, which puts us on the dirty side of the storm, meaning we are going to be getting all of that rain. it is going to be very wet here as someone said, it's like a fire hose turned on in the area, and this area was getting prepared for that. they drained some of the lakes to make s

daytona beach, delta jonah, population there are just over 750,000. and with that wind coming on shore on the backside of departing hurricane milton, it is still bringing the storm surge threat right here, three to five feet extending as far north as georgia this is incredible as the storm sliced through the florida peninsula, it knocked down trees. we have multiple reports of power outages because of those fallen trees, 3 million plus customers without power. and then you heard victor talk about the tornado that we're trying to get some more details in southern florida. this is in advance of hurricane milton's arrival. the outer rain bands caused over 100 126 tornado warnings, which is the most tornado warnings ever issued in one day across the state of florida. and here is one of those just incredible video so spottings of the tornado crossing are major road here in southern florida. casey, just remarkable video there. >> derek van dam for us. derek. thank you very much. and we are going to continue our breaking news coverage tracking hurricane milt

north central florida pit i think you will see storm surge in northeast florida in places like daytona beach, flagler beach, st. johns county. i think you will see that coming on the backside of the storm. so we will see how well that shakes out but the bottom line is -- we have the resources amassed, we will use all that we need but i hope i can send a bunch of them home. to say, we got the job done. >> posted a video earlier today -- [inaudible] do you know what happened? gov. desantis: i mean, first of all what kind of an animal would just leave a dog chained to a pole in a middle of a hurricane? just unbelievable that somebody would do that. and so i'm thankful for the fhp folks out of tampa for rescuing the dog. brought it to the vet. the dog has a clean bill of health. and who knows? maybe we'll put the dog up for adoption we can have some people in florida compete for it and take it. it's just like, i mean, people do a lot of dumb things. i hope they find the person who did that and that person should have the book thrown at them. we are very good laws against animal cruelty. and thes

crews are now going to be headed to daytona beach to get ready there. back here at home, we're taking a look from our mount tam camera. we've been dealing with their own weather and just not as extreme as hurricanes and the like. let's check in now with our chief meteorologist lawrence karnow. he's been keeping track of what's happening down there in the gulf moines. this storm, a monster storm. this one you want to get out of the way you don't want to be anywhere near this one. this one. >> go provide catastrophic damage when it comes on shore. there's some hint that we are going to see a little more weakening with the storm system before it makes landfall. if this all works out, i mean, that is some very good news. category 5 hurricane. i mean, just devastating where this will come on shore. if it maintained that kind of strength, you can see a kind of spinning around right now go into what's called eye wall replacement. that means we're seeing the center of the eye kind of dissipate a little bit on to regenerate. look at this again by tomorrow. so we

and especially concerned about that i-4 corridor, tampa, orlando daytona beach is seeing potentially some of the most severe impacts for multiple hazards. >> what are you looking at in terms of rainfall totals yeah rainfall totals are going to be pretty extreme in some areas, especially along. >> and just north of the track, we could see up to 18in of rain in some isolated locations. and again, this area you see here in pink is our highest level of risk for flash flooding that we could see play out from wednesday into thursday. and that again includes that tampa, orlando daytona, ocala widespread rainfall totals of 5 to 12in, with the potential for significant flash flooding across much of the florida peninsula as well. >> all right michael brennan, we really appreciate this update. it is very very helpful and i hope people are paying attention. thank you. >> his information, his clarity and his ability and his ability to come on and give these updates is so critical in these final moments, we also have this we want to tell you about hurricane milton, as we know, is already one of th

extreme flooding is expected here and around orlando and daytona beach. and this is new video from a traffic camera showing flooding in sarasota as the storm was making landfall there. storm surge from milton is one of its biggest threats, with some 4 million residents now under evacuation orders in low lying areas. and those who didn't leave are being urged to stay put or get to the nearest shelter. the storm comes just two weeks after halloween, with some areas still cluttered with debris that can become dangerou. with milton's winds and flooding, we get the surge again, i can't imagine. i don't know what will be left. i can't believe it that this is happening. other than that, i don't want to be here. all right, so bay area first responders trained in search and rescue are now on the ground in florida, ready to help after milton makes landfall. some are getting all too used to the area after being deployed to hurricane helene. nbc bay area's ian cull has the latest. heading into the hurricane as thousands flee, life threatening winds in the storm surge

in fact, that we are getting gusts to 58 miles per hour right now in daytona beach. so that is still dangerous conditions as the outer rain bands of the backside of milton continued to wrap in from the atlantic coastline. this produced a prolific amount of rain, right here specifically, you can see it on this radar estimate that's where over ten inches of rain has fallen and we heard from isabel, it's great reporting about the water rescues that are taking place in hillsborough. hillsborough county and then into the clearwater area right now, clearwater beach soft 14 inches st petersburg, 18 inches. there was nine inches of that rain and st. petersburg that fell in a three hour period. so you can imagine just how much ponding and flooding that cause. so here it is the eye of the storm still pulling away from the space coast. but it's wrapping in that rainfall. so there are still active flashflood warnings in place in and around daytona beach and would that onshore push three to five feet? storm surge still an issue for our coastal communities before this system said
