this concern that those wind speeds will push water from the gulf of mexico up along florida's gulf coast that area that you mentioned. the big bend area of the state, where the panhandle meets the gulf coast. and no concern, focus there, and those warnings to residents in the path of the storm to get out while they still can't. christian: 12 feet, that is big. that is total inundation for very low lying areas on the big bend in florida we can see in the live box there, that big bank of gray sky heading tards northwest florida. at the moment, the sea looks quite calm, but that will not be the picture in five or six hours time. john: it's not at all. we have been to some of the emergency shelters today. we have seen residents arriving. they are a trickle at the moment but authorities say they expect that to pick up as we move into this evening. the advice at the moment is residents who can should seek shelter with friends or relatives. the emergency shelters are really an option of last resort, and we have -- we have seen people taking them, including homeless people here in the city of ta

really the storm surge they are most concerned about, those wind speeds will push water from the gulf of mexicoda's gulf coast into that area in particular you have mentioned, the big—band area of the state where the panhandle meets the coast, and real concern focused there, and those warnings to residents in the path of the storm to get out while they still can.

they could be some flooding around cuba and mexico over the next day or so, but as the system works over the warm waters of the gulff uncertainty is how quick the wind gets because the waters nec before it makes landfall a particularly hot, you could see rapid intensification. in europe, this area of cloud has been bringing severe thunderstorms to the balearic islands. over the neck 2a and was looking at torrential rain working across northern italy, 200 millimetres, risk of flash flooding. some strong wind, 120 kilometres power into the mediterranean, could even see some waterspouts and tornadoes, severe weather. in asia, looking at typhoon solar, near the island of those on in the philippines bringing flooding rain. could make landfall in south—east china in the coming days but to the north of this we have another zone of severe weather heading into the north—east of china and north korea. we could be looking at 200 millimetres of rain, again talking about the risk of some flash flooding. lots of severe weather in different parts of the world at the moment. it different parts of the world at the moment. , _, . �*

of the gulf coast. right now, we're still about 8 to 12 hours away from the worst beginning to arrive. however, it is out of the gulf of mexico or water. temperatures are about $30.00 to $32.00 degrees celsius, a degree or 2 sales. he's above average and record values. what that does is that o, she had a keep content copious amounts of fuel to get this storm to rapidly intensive biased ranking, very quickly, lurching from a category one to 22, or 3, and perhaps a 4. by the time it makes landfall, and the thing i'm worried about to is that the warmest water temperatures are usually like the you can template inside the caribbean. in this case, they're right near the gulf coast. so given the atmosphere conditions and the very warm water temperatures, there's a likelihood, the distort will continue intensifying right. as it approaches the coast i can do tomorrow morning with wind gusts over to a 110 kilometers per hour. possible. a storm surge of one to 3 meters, perhaps up to 4 meters and some spots as we push water against the coastline. $10.00 to $15.00 plus centimeters worth of rainfall and the potential for tornadoes as well

the international space station passed over hurricane idalia as the storm churned over the gulf of mexicon moving north and is now a category 2 hurricane — that's according to the national hurricane center. that could mean winds of up to 110 miles per hour. but, as ever, it's the storm surge that has the authorities most concerned. this is the situation on the ground. this footage was taken from a sea front hotel in key west. in the last hour florida governor ron desantis had a message for people in the evacuation zone. you really got to go now, now is the time. you don't, if you stay and hunker down tonight, it's going to be too nasty tomorrow morning to be able to do it. now if you do choose to stay, and one of the evacuation zones, first responders will not be able to get you until after the storm has passed. presidentjoe biden said the state will get whatever help it needs. ~ �* ., ., needs. we're worried about the ocean surge. — needs. we're worried about the ocean surge, we _ needs. we're worried about the ocean surge, we don't - needs. we're worried about the ocean surge, we don't

you were talking about the warm gulf of mexico waters. we are beyond bathtub waters. we are in hot tub territory. temperatures are running two to three degrees fahrenheit above where they should be this time of year. that's like jet fuel for an incoming area. it will feed off those warm waters. how this coastline is so susceptible, particularly the west coast of the florida peninsula, the gulf side, right, and into the big bend area. an aerial perspective gives you an idea of what we're talking about here. so side by side, hopefully, you have this up, you can see the storm surge projections. 8 to 12 feet near cedar key. that is incredible. look at the vast miles of flat beaches that go as far as the sky can see. clearwater to the north. we are in sand key to at south of this. and we are going to get on the granular details. the national hurricane center has this storm surge prediction map. what you are looking at is tampa bay and the shading of orange is anywhere from 4 to 7 feet, perhaps up to 9 feet of storm surge inundation above normally dry ground. clearwater, we

breaking news, hurricane idalia has intensified over the warm waters of the gulf of mexico and is now forecast to become an extremely dangerous category four storm, before it makes landfall in a matter of just hours. the storm is packing 110 miles per hour winds and is already causing flooding in some of the coastal areas. our teams are out across the entire storm zone, chad myers is in the cnn weather center with the very latest forecast. carlos suarez is in tampa, brian todd is in tallahassee, and gloria pazmino is in clearwater. let's go right now to chad myers who is in the weather center. chad, governor ron desantis is now saying that the florida gulf coast area has not seen a storm of a dahlias magnitude since the 1800s. it is now forecast to be an extremely dangerous category four hurricane when it makes landfall. could -- put all this into context for us. >> sure, from appalachia, all the way to the big bend is what he is talking about. there you go, that's the area right there that he is talking about and that is the area that has not seen anything this significant in a long

post landfall and that is the thing is that the worst flooding could come as it comes from the gulf of mexico>> ian: so many areas that place talking about the shape of the coastline which is catching some of that water and the depth of the gulf which is not deep at all because of the shallow shelf wat waters. then the magnitude of the wind and the direction of the wind and how long they last. that is the issue. once the wind turns truly onshore, they have not yet, plus the tide cycle, we are at p chai tide right now is cedar key. we go down from here. but now the competing influences i just mentioned. >> jane: in some way maybe we timed things out perfectly by seeing things starting to die down with high tide. >> ian: at least trying to divide it - - avoid a worst case scenario. >> jane: the storm surge will not change but maybe the worst-case scenario we will see how that unfolds but still very dangerous situation. may be between one and 10000 customers on the lower end. we saw some power that is left. we had one flicker in cedar key that came in about 40 minutes ago but we will continue to

but the fact that we're getting this amount of push from the tampa bay and gulf of mexico into populated areas like tampa, several dozen miles away from the center of the storm, really tells you something. this storm will have wide reaching impacts for the entire western coastline of the florida peni peninsula, and so much time and energy to push this water into the little nooks and crannies of all those west facing shorelines of the gulf of mexico here on the florida peninsula. so we expect conditions here to remain as is through high tide for the next hour or so. we'll see the tide start to fall throughout the course of the morning but another high tide cycle around 2:00 this afternoon. and by the way this is made worse by the impacts of what is a super moon. so we have a greater tug, a greater tidal swing. so that will exascerbate the threats. >> and this is phil in new york. for context for viewer, where you are standing, that is a central organ for commuter, a central roadway in tampa if you are familiar with the area at all. and given the fact that the direct hit people were fearin

now the gulf of mexico is like a very shallow bowl, and the issue in this case is the best symmetry or the shape of the sea floor. it's very shallow in terms of its slope, which makes it very easy to push that water against the coastline. imagine you're moving boxes, if you have to push boxes of a very steep ramp and be difficult. but if it's a very long, gentle ram, it's easy. same thing here. the sea floor is very long, very gently sloping. you push that water against the coast. it moves the shore, i would sell those run from the water hyphen when, when it's easy to escape by putting layers between yourself, the outside world. water will get you no matter where you go and that's why folks have to back mean inland to escape death, right? and are people following those evacuation orders a yes or no i, i think there are a couple of things. a play going on here. what is sort of a, the, the socio economic factors, for example, a lot of folks simply can't afford to evacuate. you have a lot of people who may not have the mobility, they might not have the transportation which costs a lot of

. >> in the northeast, gulf of mexico and this is helping fuel the intensity of the storm. >> you're zooming in at the 3d look of the storm, ian, the eye about 80 miles in diameter but that deep convecture is just incredible. >> i mean, these storms tear i didn't know up 50,60 feet as these storms continue ooh show strengthening. >> ian: yeah, jane, i'm just taking a look as cody is showing you a three dimensional look and i was looking at the forecast track. >> not sure if it's a wobble -- it probably is, because this is a storm that's been wobbling left to right, east to west all day and it does look like 9 center, snraes over the last hour or so -- it has been more on the right side of the cone. >> this is still well inside the cone, of course, but it's these little wobbles that will decide which one of these counties and which part of the county does actually end up seeing the worst of this. >> when you're talking about the worst case scenario for surge, which is about up to 16 feet. >> jane: yeah, yeah, and that's the question the you take the storm surge and the wobble and the

those winds pushing the water from the gulf of mexico northwards along the gulf coast of florida, andtening those communities north of here. the authorities making it clear that anybody who has not done so who can get out of the way of the storm, ought to do so as a matter of urgency. >> what our local authorities in tampa doing to prepare? john: we have been to the emergency shelters today. the advice over the past 24 hours or so, for people in the evacuation areas, is that they should first on foremost seek shelter with friends and relatives. for those unable to do that, the emergency shelters are there. they are pretty basic. people are given a small space on the floor of, for example, a school sports hall. but there are hot meals there for them, three meals a day, and they areble to stay there until the storm passes. in fact, if there is damage to their homes, possibly a little longer as well. beyond that, across the state of florida, there is a lot being done. some 5000 national guards, personnel brought in, ready to respond to the aftermath. and almost 40,000 line workers on sta

due to high surface temperatures in the gulf of mexico. inds, high winds, heavy rain and forecasted 12 foot storm surge. >> still, that is we often seen situations like this. some living near the path of this hurricane have chosen to stay put. cnn's brian todd has details. >> much of florida bracing for direct impact. >> time is running short. make sure you are prepared for the storm. >> coastal waters rise. lifetime storm surge. along florida's gulf coast. >> could reach 10 to 15 feet in some areas of the big ben. that's life-threatening. if you are there without, hits gonna be difficult to survive that. >> the tampa bay area as well. >> there will be flooding. it'll be worse. 46 inches of rain in a short amount time. >> mandatory, voluntary evacuation orders issued for parts of 22 counties. including coastal, low lying areas. >> take the effort to evacuate to a safe shelter. >> all residents are sure they want. only >> a homes here. my life here. >> coast guard preparing rescue helicopters. power line repair crews and high water rescue te

the streets are being pushed in by water from the gulf of mexico. pressive and forceful the energy is of this water and deindependents on the depth of where you go. this huge hotel is above me and water is lapping up to the front door. serious situation. if you are out, take cover and don't go out. this hurricane, rapid intensification is the issue and theme of what we see, even from hurricane ian last year. back to you. >> ashley: you are in the thick of that, last 30 minutes to an hour, have you seen anyone out anywhere in the area? >> so here is the good news, we have seen high water police vehicle come through, beyond that, seen no one, best case scenario. we don't want to see anybody out. this is clearwater beach, across from the inlet is clearwater. they are at higher ground. winds kick up, we hope there is not debris that comes flying and water does not way its way to pockets they were not expecting. it is coming through like this. it is just moving as if it is its own entity, like it should be here thshg is storm surge. >> todd: robert, you a

the water temperature in the gulf of mexico has been exceedingly warm. how is that record warm-water, how is it contributing to the strengthening of this monster storm? >> reporter: well, heat -- hot water is the engine for hurricanes, and the engines we're seeing now are bigger than ever before. the gulf of mexico had never seen a surface temperature of 84 degrees fahrenheit until august when it went to 88, over 2.5 degrees above average for the last 20, 25 years or so. so that engine has the potential -- every one degree above normal has the potential to add 10% more strength to a hurricane. there's a lot of other factors a at play there. winds that can are 120 could be 125. there's nowhere for this water surge to go but up the rivers, here's exhibit "a." this is the river and it's a beautiful fishing community here. we're at scalp season right now would be hugely popular the hotels and inns here with anglers of all sorts and a historic community, a lot of older construction, wooden construction here. and they had about 6 feet of storm surge in 2016, th

this is coronado street here and right off of the gulf of mexico. what do we see? we see at least a foot of water here come in. many of these roads are inundated around clearwater beach. this is what the anticipation was of this storm as overnight it just actually in the past hour kicked up to a category 4 major hurricane as it's making its way to the southeast of tallahassee where it will make landfall in the next few hours and, by the way, this is a mandatory evacuation zone where i'm standing here. they wanted everyone out by 7:00 p.m. last night. before all these elements occurred. this is now its own entity here this morning. yeah. it acts like -- this water acts like it should be here and it should not. we have the ebb and flow of the water that comes in and these winds and the rain bands. when it kicks up and the water flaps, you can taste it on your mouth, the salt water from the gulf of mexico. and, mind you, those beaches across from this giant structure that is above me are wide. some of them as wide as a football field. so all that water, rushing in to h

the affect of global warming, climate change on the gulf of mexico has made that hotter, which has made the storm stronger. are there any other x factors we should be keep ing ab eye on tht could affect the strength of the track? >> those are the ones that you mentioned that i would be concerned about. i know you mentioned climate change and the role that long-term warming is playing. we do find that in our climate models that you have hurricanes going over warmer sea surface temperatures. they are strengthened by warmer sea surface temperatures. for 2 degree celsius, we find about 3% increase in maximum wind speeds in the atlantic basin. between 1 and 10% is centered around that. >> you published a paper earlier this year about how climate change will affect hurricane season. based on your research, are you anticipating that we're going to see more hurricanes every year stronger hurricanes every year? what's the forecast? >> most confident projection we can make is with the sea level rise, that will lead to greater storm inundation levels. we also are quite confident global warming wil

we believe it is flowing away from the gulf of mexico and deadman bay. lowing in the opposite direction it normally flows. that gives you a sense of the power of this storm as it pushes the water from the gulf of mexico up into the wrong direction of the steinhatchee river. also in the distance there you can see some of the destruction, including it looks like some sort of structure, a mangled metal that we've seen debris and other items like a capsized boat is what it looked like floating down this river. i think it might be the metal structure we saw floating down the river earlier that has now stopped and seems to be resting against another structure. and then we're along the main road here. this road leads into the town of steinhatchee. there is water in that direction so it is very hard to pass unless you have a high water vehicle or high pickup truck. then in this direction you can see that there are trees down, power lines snapped in half, and that's a huge issue here, by the way, is power outages. at last check, a while ago, it could have gotten w

the storm now has more time to gather more strength, as it hovers over those warm waters in the gulf of mexicore in clearwater beach, this is part of the county which is also under mandatory evacuation order, but despite that order there are people here who have chosen to ride out the storm right here at home. i spoke to one of them earlier today, and they were walking along the beach, they told me they lived here for several, years they are used to seeing this kind of, whether they have written it out before, and it is exactly what they are planning to do. >> you don't want to lose any lives, but people have been through it one time in our lives, and used technology, it is what it is, mother nature always wins. >> mother nature always wins, that has been ringing in my head for the last several hours, omar, because conditions here have changed so significantly, hour by hour, and the question here as we await the landfall of hurricane, is whether the storm surge is going to come in as strongly as we have forecast that it might. for this area, we are expecting to see anywhere from 4 to 7 feet of

we are about 10 miles inland off the gulf of mexico. but last night it was quite still very hot and humid. i was seeing flashes of lightning in the distance as we had a tornado watch here in effect. now this morning, i just woke up a little bit ago. but we now have started to get rain. the rain of hurricane idalia has started to move into the area. the winds are picking up slightly. but nothing near where they're going to be in the next seven to eight hours when i expect landfall will happen, and we'll have landfall, a category 3 or 4 possible hurricane. right now it is a category 3, a major hurricane. and this thing is going to continue to intensify as it comes ashore here this morning. >> and look, you've been around the block covering tornadoes, hurricanes, you name it. and i'm just curious for your take. based on the forecasts that we've seen to this point, what are you expecting toee in the coming hours physically on the ground where you are? and how do you intend to react to what you're seeing? >> so we're going to slowly see the w

most of the deep convection here is now over the open waters of the gulf of mexico. aid in its continuance of developing into a category 2, eventually category 3, a category 3 is considered a major hurricane. from tampa and sarasota, we might see a storm surge of 4 to 7 feet. national hurricane center says that there could be substantial significant damage due to this inundation of water coming up from the ocean. this is a beautiful part of the country and very vulnerable to damage from hurricanes. we saw that with ian just about a year ago on sanibel island. still struggling to get things back together there. still beautiful beaches, but it has been a problem. it appears as if across this bend area where there is mostly wildlife management areas and estuaries, that that appears to be the target area for landfall. landfall meaning that the eye crosses the coastline here. but it will do more damage than just making landfall somewhere in that rather unpopulated area. for tampa, for marco island, for naples, for cape coral, extending up towards clearwater and st. pete,

gulf. it was a couple of weeks ago we saw that that water in the gulf right around there was over 100 degrees. what is it now out of curiosity? >> so the entire gulf of mexico is 85 to 90 degrees. close to 90. only need 80-degree water. that is really warm. expect it to intensify a bunch in the next 24 hours. >> ainsley: adam, how accurate is that path. two years ago the last storm we thought was going for tampa it actually went south to fort myers. >> adam: there is the path you are talking about, ainsley. it's been drifting to the east. wide area. appalachia collie la. make landfall in between there we will have a better sense of this this afternoon once the storm starts moving through the gulf of mexico. >> brian: thanks so much. meanwhile. the biden administration is taking a lot of heat from candidates and voters alike as the 2024 comes into focus. >> steve: with poor performances in the polls, multiple investigations into his family and an impeachment inquiry in question, 2024 hopefuls are taking jabs from all sides at that man joe biden. >> ainsley: gillian turner at the white house where the president just returned from latest vacation. gillian? >>

covered the gulf of mexico to report afp activists and environmentalists and local fishing groups are cleaning up the shores of the mother of the gulf of mexico, as there are black spots in the coastal waters. mexican prosecutors have attributed the phenomenon to state oil company phoenix , based on july 4th satellite images. it started on july 13. it has been attributed to the heaviest living thing on the planet. it is possible that the ancient song in peru, while yabi today was long known as the heaviest living thing, scientists discovered fossils of an ancient giant that can change the calculations. fossil researchers this new species , called the peruvian giant whale , was displayed in the natural history museum of the university in lima. the weight of each bone of this animal is more than 100 kg. its birth is approximately 1.4 tenths of a meter. these giant fossils are 39 million it is a year old. the next part of the news is in the name of god. hello, i would like to welcome you, dear viewers of the khabar channel. good morning. in the last 24 hours , we have seen hot days and h

that's if there wasn't a major hurricane out in the gulf of mexico. so here you go into tomorrow afternoon and to your point, jane, these winds aren't even purely on shore yet. this isn't an orientation that favors yet the worst of the storm surge. >> jane: you bring up a great point about what is going to happen after the storm leaves the gulf of mexico. i think there is going to be this brief period into the afternoon where the conditions start to subside as this storm lifts into the georgia and the carolinas in the afternoon hours. the second high tide that comes in as idalia pulls away, we'll still have the southwesterly push of the winds on the back side of this storm, and that's going to make the second high tide and the storm surge push last into the day tomorrow, and that, i think, is going to be the one key component in the impacts of this storm that last for 15 hours or more. >> ian: jane this kind of shows the point i was just making there, so couple of things to consider. the mean, higher high tide. that's actually a 30-year average of all

and especially in the gulf of mexico.e geologist, but i know there's a low shelf there. so the water piles up much faster and then you've got the inland flooding too. you've got significant rain events. so it's changing the character of these communities. you'll see that increasingly in fort myers beach as a result of last year's storm. >> senator marco rubio, we appreciate your time. thanks very much. >> all right. be safe. thank you. >> all right. that was senator marco rubio down in miami. miami has seen its share of hurricanes. he was talking about building codes there. i know you've lived in the area before. you can see in that area, the structures that were built prehurricane andrew and after hurricane andrew with the buildings codes. there's such a difference in terms of how things are built. that has to do mostly with wind. but the storm surge, it's hard to build anything that can withstand a storm surge of 10 to 15 feet. >> it's a great point, john. we were looking at video earlier in this block where you saw a h

sara, it's literally off to the races for hurricane idalia now into the open waters of the warm gulf of mexico. and we talk about that being jet fuel because water temperatures there are literally 2 to upwards of 4 degrees fahrenheit above where they should be this time of year. that is just going to aid in this intensification process. you can see on my graphics, there's the hurricane there. it has a general northerly trajectory. and it's moving at quite a clip. 14 miles per hour. that's significant because that means it's going to bring those first rain bands on to the west coast of the florida peninsula here in the coming hours. here is a look at that storm surge. i want to show you that red area we're highlighting. basically that is the most vulnerable coastline in all of america, storm surge. 8 to 12 feet in cedar key. they talk about hurricane herman back in 2016 which was a category 1 that brought 6 feet of storm surge. this will be a category 3 upon its arrival. that will likely bring catastrophic storm surge to cedar key and those general areas as well. i'm very concerned about clee w

the wind will be grabbing the ocean water from the gulf of mexico and sending it into tampa bay and along the coastline of florida, a dangerous situation with a large storm surge likely addition to torrential wind damage, and the next 24 hours will be very busy to the gulf of mexico as it tracks to the north and has its eyes set on that part of the florida coastline but a wiggle in the over all path could have big consequences. >> storm surge is scary. paul, thank you. >>> america's fastest growing sport might be growing too fast. so many people are playing pickleball there are not enough courts to meet the demand. there is a proposal to build a facility that housed the ford assembly plant in the 1930s. it would have turned into a private club with 16 courts and a lounge but that was squashed and people are frustrated but their fight isn't over just yet. >> reporter: pickle ball is a passion for darlene. >> nice, edwin. >> reporter: she developed a love for it before it became a huge sport and now she is teaching, playing, and pitching the sport. >> i have an 8-year-old and probably 80-ye

you can be about 200 miles out into the gulf of mexico. you're only in about 300 feet of water, then you go down florida and it's two miles all of a sudden so it does get deep but the shelf is very wide and makes this entire area. this was an unfortunate update from the national hurricane center with the 11:00 p.m. update, they bumped up the max surge, which we're expecting across the eastern part of the big bend, jane, where you're seeing all this red, that's where we could see surge, a reasonable worst case scenario up to about 16 feet. >> and that's not just immediately along the coastline. this surge can go miles inland, even at this depth, which is what's so scary about this part. we haven't really had an impact of this magnitude in the big bend of florida really since -- decades. >> yeah, across the reliable period of record, at least. now, the subtle thing here as we're showing you, again this is a reasonable worst case scenario talking about cedar key, a wonderful community that sticks out into the gulf of mexico. thorned this porti
