florida. that is not bad. but just the larger issue though is, conservatives worked hard on k-12, we have universal school choice, hopefully georgia will get there someday. but it's good, it's important. i have young, i was just telling you before we came out here, we are in the last dog days of summer vacation. next week we have our daughter going to second grade, our son going to first, and our youngest daughter going to pre-k. we are ready for them to go back to school. so we are very sensitive to k-12.you are a parent , maybe you have a great k-12 school, maybe you are homeschooling, working hard to fulfill values. you do that for 18 years and then your kid goes to a university where they work to undo that with indoctrination? that is not good. i think this higher education issue is critical. we're now, because of what has happened at columbia and all this other stuff, they tried to take over lawns at university of florida, florida state. they lasted seven minutes and i got dragged out of

transportation, florida fish and wildlife and florida law enforcement. just about every public safety front facing public safety or infrastructure agency has noticed gains from us getting better at what we do. and that's forward thinking. to be able to have a governor that leads in that direction, that's forward thinking. so out of this, we will certainly have conversations about, ok, can we be better? can we be faster to the mission right after the disaster right in those two or three hours after it, did we effectively respond? yes, we effectively did respond. can we cut it down to 90 minutes? can we cut it down to 60 minutes? we'll challenge ourselves. the public heads have told us on the public safety side, how do we get faster or get better in things done and we'll continue to do that. governor desantis: we are of course going to continue with the rescue and recovery efforts throughout the day. we'll also be in a position to get a better assessment of the damage that's been left in the wake of this storm. i know that kevin and his team as well as jer

florida. this is about one hour. es in florida. this is about one hour. mr. erickson: i got the lights up. welcome back to the program. if everyone wants to remember your receipt. remember your cell phones. so, i have good news and bad news about this afternoon. we actually are going to be able to get a break now, but the bad news is because one of the flights for one of our speakers got canceled. but we will manage this schedule well. the congresswoman from florida, her flight got canceled i think because of the storm from where she was coming from. but that's ok. it will give us a small break for me to step out and run to the restroom this afternoon at some point because i really was not looking forward to sitting here with you all from 1:00 to 5:00. right now, however, i want to introduce you to my next guest who is one of the best governors in the country. i am bias for my own governor but inarguably, one of the greatest governors in the country who a friend of mine actually refers to beca

ivan rodriguez in tallahassee, florida. thank you so much for that i want to go now to clearwater, florida, where mayor bruce rector can give us an update on the situation in his area. thank you so much for being here with us this early. so when it hit the big bend, it was record strength for the area. so things obviously looking better. now, but just take us through what you're seeing yeah well, we're we're in clearwater source south of the big bend, but we had we had a very devastating night here in clearwater. it shows the size of this storm. we are about 100 miles away from the center of the storm and still we had record storm surge almost a full meter above the prior record. that caused unprecedented flooding on our coastal community. part of clearwater and caused tremendous damage yeah. >> and we heard from an official in tampa saying basically the roads look like an ocean catastrophic flooding, which you've been talking about as well. any idea how much damage has been done already? >> well, we know we won't for sure

so you look at southwest florida. florida. you look at the tampa bay area. you're seeing really significant they can amounts of surge. there's going to be streets that are that are flooded and will continue to flood all up and down the west coast of florida. so it's hazardous conditions right now. in please do not be going outside until things settled down. we know that travel on the road codes can be hazardous and we typically unfortunately will have fatalities and every storm from that, when you are out on the roads in the middle of one of these storms that is very, very dangerous. so please do not do that. stay put also, if you're sheltering in place no your surroundings in terms of trees, you are going to see trees that are going to get knocked down. i'm sure some have already been knocked down. but you have these hundred and 40 mile an hour winds hitting here in north florida. this is going to extend. i mean, you're going to have hurt kane force winds that are going to extend across a couple of counties to the east and west of taylor county and that's g

florida's you've used to this, right? they they know how to handle it to recover from those hurricanes. but we knew early on that it was going to be a marathon recovery for a lot of these communities. >> yeah. yeah. yeah. what daylight brings? we do not know ivan rodriguez in tallahassee, florida appreciate your reporting through the night. thanks so much. well, most people tried to get out of the path of a huge storm like hurricane helene, but some go towards the danger will talk to a storm chaser who is in the city where helene made landfall people are watching in our world changed tv on the edge sunday at nine on cnn meet the jennifer's, then x, y, and z each planning their future for the chase mobile app. >> gen x is planning a summer in portugal with some help from jpmorgan wealth plan we've got whiskers to and why is working with a bank or to budget for her birthday you only turned 30 once. and gen z, her credits go then, hello new apartment three jens getting ahead with chase solutions that grow with you. one bank

so we are in gulfport, florida. that is in pinellas county. we're already we're starting to see some flooding associated with the storm. now a good part of this is the fact that we're in high tide at this hour. but some of that rain that has moved in his clearly started to make a bit of a mess out here. this area in pinellas county is known to flood. we have been here the last two years covering two other hurricanes. and this is a prime location for some of the flooding to take place we are in a mandatory evacuation zone at that order went out yesterday folks that live in this part of pinellas county county were told to get to higher ground over in hillsborough county in the tampa area, a mandatory evacuation is underway for some parts of the city. along the base side. and then if you if you head further north, of course, those parts of florida have already been proposed praying for all of what's to come here in perry, florida, which is about three-and-a-half hours north of where we are all preparations got underway there yesterday with folks

of florida and all points north. that is where adam klotz says watch things closely because as far as trying to escape this where do you go to escape? the normal route is go north. might not be that simple. >> reporter: glad you set me up with the size of the storm. that the key factor as we look at what the storm will be doing here over the rest of today and tomorrow as well. here's what we see. if i show you the radar across this region look at the rain across georgia stretching into the carolinas. a lot of impacts will be felt. we've seen some spin up tornadoes. those red boxes across the florida panhandle, the size of this will be impactful. tornado watches in place. this is where you see a hurricane move on sure. the right side of the tornado brings the ingredients, small spin up tornadoes, we will see them as we watch the storm progress over the next several hours. on top of that in south carolina, how far is that from the storm, currently a flash flood warning in place. far away from where the winds are at the

ivan rodriguez in tallahassee, florida. thank you so much.ng in cnn meteorologist allison chinchar. allison before we went on air we're showing some pictures of flooding here in atlanta and that was before the hurricane proper is hitting, is that where it's headed right now? are we going to be here? >> yes. so it's really headed up towards say, like macon, georgia and then eventually into atlanta. and again, you have to have some perspective for people who don't know, these are hundreds of miles away from the water. these are not beach communities. so again, just to note, well, how far away they are, we've just got the hourly update now down to 80 miles per hour. that's still a category one hurricane. again, this is what we expected as it continues to make its way inland, it's going to weaken the interesting thing though, is just how far inland it's been able to maintain its hurricane status again, you can see here is that center of the storm will continue to slide. it's going to start to make its way a little bit more on a westerly direction

rising in parts of florida, far south from the big bend area so you look at southwest florida, you look at the tampa bay area you're seeing really significant amounts of surge. >> there's going to be streets that are, that are flooded and will continue to flood all up and down the west coast of florida. so it's hazardous conditions right now. in please do not be going outside until things settled down. >> we're covering the storm from all angles. cnn's ivan rodriguez is live in tallahassee, florida. but first, we're going to go to cnn meteorologist allison chinchar is tracking helene. and where it's heading. >> yeah, that's right. i think the key component here is that just because it has made landfall does not mean this storm is over. in fact, we are still yet to seen some of the worst impacts for a few states. in particular, right now, you can see the center of the storm is located just over portions of south central georgia, sustained winds of 80 miles per hour, still gusting higher than that. the storm has already knocked out a tremendous amount of power. we're talking 1.8 million c

, florida state. they lasted seven minutes and they got dragged out of their. we are not putting up with this stuff. but, the part of the problem >> one thing that strikes me is you have these freshwater springs that come up. you've got the everglades and this environmentalism that republicans get knocked as mythology that we are back for the environment. you as a conservative government that supports free market has done a good job of balancing business, commerce, trade and tourism and also note declaration of the environment in florida. how do you balance those concerns from a conservative perspective to ensure the environment in florida is pristine. also in not sacrificing trade and industry, commerce and tourist. >> that is reinforcing. our economy is strong because we have great natural resources. we are the number one boating stay in the country. number one fishing state. it's not close. people come from that. they come from all over the world to be able to do that in the state of florida. our e

don't sleep on florida. we have a shot here and kicking off this bus tour proves that the campaign believes that, too. >> reporter: so we had this kickoff here in palm beach county, florida. that bus now on its way to jacksonville, florida, where that will be the location for their second event tomorrow and when we talk about why florida again, that full-court press amendment 4, but there is also aspect of this where democrats are trying to show strength and trying to combat and challenge this idea that republicans are going to have the stronghold here in november. >> we're going to ask a simple question of our friend, why are there seemingly more die hard republicans in florida lately. thank you very much. still ahead, more potentially damaging comments from jd vance have surfaced. what he said in 2017 that could add to the campaign's problems with women voters. female voters. >>> and what is real and what is hyperbole. david rhode on what a second trump administration could do to our justice system. >>> pl

if you want to look for ship resources, go to florida housing.org. florida housing.org. fema has granted individual assistance to a number of florida counties, including charlotte, citrus, dixie, franklin, hernando, hillsborough, jefferson, manatee, pasco, sarasota, taylor and others. we've been approved for public assistance for those counties and more and also have hazard mitigation grant programs. you are eligible. the counties in the state of florida to apply for those grants. now today we're pleased the make the following announcement. as you see, there is damage to homes but also damages to businesses and so you look at roy's restaurant. very important part of the community. very important restaurant here for so many folks. that got hammered by the storm. they are not able to operate out of the restaurant right now and they will need major rebuilding. linda wicker, the owner, has vowed to rebuild. in the meantime they wanted to figure out what options they have to stay afloat. they wanted to utilize a food truck that has been donated to them to be able to host rest

a historic flooding event unfolding in florida. hurricane helene roaring ashore south of tallahassee near perry, florida, as a category four storm, packing 140 mile per hour winds. >> you have these 140 mile an hour winds hitting here in north florida. this is going to extend. i mean, you're going to have hurricane force winds that are going to extend across a couple counties to the east and west. >> the national weather service issuing a rare extreme wind warning for the tallahassee area, calling hurricane helene an extremely dangerous and life threatening situation, warning people to take cover and to treat the conditions as if a tornado was approaching. abc's ike in tallahassee. >> helene finally making landfall in tallahassee, bringing strong winds and heavy rain. officials warning these conditions can down power lines and trees just like this one. >> hundreds of people in taylor county, florida, in the bull's eye of the storm, told emergency officials they did not evacuate. some areas along the gulf coast were bracing for up t

matt were going to head over to florida right now where the governor of florida is holding an update on hurricane helene as it's making its way to the gulf coast and major general john haas from the florida national guard as you know, as of 8:00 a.m. hurricane helene is now a category two hurricane. it is located 365 miles south of apalachicola, is expected to speed up throughout the day and it's expected to make landfall in northern florida for some time this evening maximum sustained winds are currently about 100 miles per hour. it is possible that this storm could make landfall as a major hurricane, as a category three or even potentially a category four, it is moving fast more rainfall is, of course expected. and it could lead to significant storm surge in our coastal areas. and so we are prepared for that. of course. and we'll see what happens in terms of the intensification. i think that these things can rapidly intensify. sometimes they become majors, sometimes there's changes. so we're just going to continue to do our thing and assume that this is going to be a major hurrican

this is a picture out of tallahassee, florida, the state of florida's capital.see was right smack dab in the center of the cone of uncertainty as to where that center of low pressure could go. thankfully, we had some wobbling before halloween made landfall. it actually put tallahassee in a better end of this. still quite a bit of rain barreling down on a spot like tallahassee. but down farther south in an area like tampa, i mean, just look at this video at all the shaking, the water. >> it almost looks like an earthquake of water coming in. this was over the howard frankland bridge. and so this is an area that connects tampa outside of spotlight, clearwater and saint pete. i hate to see cars driving on this. i would be white knuckling the the steering wheel there, to say the least. tampa has seen historic records of storm surge in certain spots now topping over seven feet. not even major hurricane dalia or ian brought this type of weather towards the tampa bay area. i'm sure all of you know of that one spot in your hometown or areas you used to live in where you

big bend area of florida, but the storm surge all up and down the west coast of florida peninsula as far south as clearwater. now, with me now is the mayor of clearwater, florida, bruce wactor, director may erector. thank you so much for being with us. we have seen some pictures from clearwater in the clearwater beach area. you had some real surge. tell us what happened? >> there was records surge, our previous record for storm surge was for feet and last night we had about 7.5 feet until this morning. so double what had ever been recorded in clearwater? and that caught a lot of folks old-timers who have lived on clearwater beach by surprise, really throughout our tampa bay regions are island our islands along tampa bay and so it was historic and being you know, over 100 miles away from the center of the storm, that was kind of unbelievable that we'd have the kind of impact we did hear last night isn't that what is so extraordinary about this storm 100 miles away from the center, it made impact. >> well up the coast from you, yet you still saw record storm surge seven feet. reports.

there is a category 4 hurricane right off the coast of florida. this is is going to take a few hours to come onshore, but it's coming quickly and there are a lot of aspects to this. we want to get straight to the latest details. we've got a cbs special news report for that. let's go to it now. >> i'm norah o'donnell. we are coming on the air with breaking news as hurricane helene gets closer to making landfall. it's already an extremely dangerous category 4 hurricane and is expected to bring catastrophic rain and wind when it touches down in florida's big bend region. helene will be the strongest hurricane to hit the u.s. in over a year. take a look at this. this is the view from the international space station. you can just see how massive this storm is. roughly 800 miles wide and 1,000 miles long, tropical storm force winds extending nearly 350 miles from its center. one of the big dangers is the storm surge. the forecast in florida's big bend area remains at 15 to 20 feet. that is enough to cover a two-story house. we want to begin tonight with

sometime before midnight in florida, about 70 miles from the coastal area. so, what will this mean once it moves onshore? of course, with the winds itself, that's going to be incredible. even in the middle of the night, through georgia, the winds could still be gusting up to 100 miles per hour. at day break in atlanta, near tropical storm force. at landfall, we'll see the catastrophic winds somewhere between tallahassee and perry, florida, that's where we could gust to 100, maybe even 120-mile-per-hour winds. then the winds will weaken during the day, but still massive power outages all the way up through the state of georgia. the rain is not going to stop. it's only going to get worse tonight into tomorrow in areas of north georgia, especially portions of north carolina. and lester, we still have a tornado threat, too. >> yeah, there's that. all right, bill karins, thank you. >>> let's go to that sweeping federal corruption indictment of new york city mayor eric adams. prosecutors laying out how they say he abused his power for years. adams maintaining his

mandatory evacuations have been ordered for at least 20 florida counties.f thousands of utility workers have been staged across the state, ready to restore power. tallahassee mayor john dailey, whose city is in helene's projected path, gave a dire warning. >> if our community remains central in helene's path, as forecasted, we will see unprecedented damage like nothing we have ever experienced before as a community. geoff: floridians moved quickly all across the state, filling sandbags and shuttering up their homes and businesses. >> i got a bad feeling about this one. we have never taken that direct hit. geoff: other families aren't hunkering down. they're getting out, pets and all, heading to where it's safer. some of them in florida's big bend are still reeling from hurricane idalia that struck the area just last year. >> they're saying this one's going to be worse than that one. so we're looking at -- there's probably not going to be much left. geoff: helene has already made her mark on mexico's yucatan peninsula, bringing more than a half-foot of rain,

kansas, montana, probably florida.en you went into this campaign, did you expect abortion to be as big an issue in the campaign? some observers might think the ohio voters settled it. >> some people said we should wait to next year. i'm glad we didn't, because women got those rights one year earlier in ohio. but it is still going to be front and center. when you've got a guy that wants to take away those rights from the voters in ohio, that thinks he knows better and as that ad said, does not respect women. does not respect the will of the voters. then it is pretty clear that will be a voting issue next year and i think it will be a voting issue until we pass something comparable to roe v. wade in the u.s. congress. >> senator sherrod brown, thank you very much for joining us. i always appreciate it. up next, florida is now in play for the democrats in the senate campaign. where the campaign now is actually within the margin of error of the polling. democratic senate candidate will join us next. and 10x more vitamin b3

even though they're waiting in florida, we have like 1600000 customer sell power. and now the core of the store, how much is since we can somebody, somebody went around a 120130 kilometers per hour is moving into southern georgia. possible wise for power outages and very harsh conditions for a place that is usually far enough inland to avoid the impact. so you're saying that there could still be 5 meter storm surges. that's huge. how are people in florida where you are coping with this as well now that the court has passed inland and the window switch to the direction because the hurricane is a big counter clockwise spinning storm, the search is actually no longer concerned. it would be pushed out to see that said, were any water came in, it might be, you know, still lingering there. but for the most part, any water that came in on this training, but any time even storm like this, without those rust from the water hide from the wind, it's easy to shelter from wind by being inside of 30 building, but it's very difficult to hide from water, the only thing you can do

it was the story up the whole florida peninsula. as you got into landfall with the category 4 winds no question it would disrupt power operations and that's what you've seen. probably not simply power lines down in the immediate path of the storm. probably looking at damage to sub stations. there are folks on the ground assessing and taking action to remedy that as soon as possible. overnight the cut and toss operations began at 3:00 a.m. with the florida department of transportation and they have been able to clear a lot of miles of roadway. over 2,000 miles just since the we hours of the morning. i-ten is open and passable but please drive with caution. i-75 north to georgia is clear and passable. cut and toss crews are pushing southward on i-75 currently. in tampa bay the sunshine bridges are closed at the moment. at first light bridge inspections began. there are reports of mapping applications not marking those bridges as closed but as of right now, please choose alternative routes. those bridges are going to be inspected and o
