. >> ian: if you to want welcome folks, what we continue to track what is now major hurricane idalia. >> if you're watching us here on fox weather, if you're watching us during the overnight hours on fox news and on a number of fox affiliates across the country, we're here because we're tracking a very dangerous scenario, a major hurricane in a portion of the florida coastline that almost never seas storms like this -- sees storms like this, especially when in the summertime proper still -- this is an overnight scenario would that make a lot more sense if it was october. >> jane: and this storm nvery vulnerable spots along the florida coastline. >> you hit the big bend here and you have the storm surge potential that's so incredible, up to 16 feet in the worst case scenario and as we continue in time with the slower movement, the strengthening of the storm could that look more and more possible as the morning opens up, landfall is expected in the next couple of hours. >> that new advisory coming n120 mile-per-hour winds, this continues up -- you know, the pace of this storm fit keeps

ian, the u.s.ooking at conventional motivation that it would be the ex-boyfriend, diaz and the woman he married. >> right, exactly. the deep it looked, the more police zeroed in on the woman and married. all the bizarre goings on. one that stood out was angela's report that someone tried to rape her in the crash of the condo. >> if you go to the alley to get the garage. crushes and have a dress on. it >> how did this assailant found her? >> that's a question. there's also some surveillance cameras that were in the area. presumably, what a shot someone tried to enter. we didn't have that. >> help out the scene itself? >> the question whether this could have happened and strive how she felt like i, of compare that to the light injuries she was showing, it looks sketching. >> investigators uncovered more sketchy behavior. angela seem to have a troubling history. >> you start seeing some of the fraudulent things that she's been involved. and >> that checks? >> faking a cancer episode? >> faking a cance

that's a huge concern, ian. we're trying to think if it looks like this around here, what's it look like in the tampa bay? i can tell you this is what is going on around here -- and it's happening just the way we thought it was going to happen -- as soon as the storm center was parallel with us across the gulf of mexico around midnight or so and started to peal away, the winds shifted from the southeast to the south and now to the southwest as you can see where we are right now and the water is pouring in here. 4-6 feet is what was predicted. it appears that's the case right now as that water continues to rise. so with the storm surge, interesting, a wall of water comes in and kind of fans out. then you have breaking waves that come in and push it farther in. that's what we're seeing. you can see the foam here. hasn't reached the road in this part. you can see where it bends up closer to the beach behind me. you see the flashing red lights. police have shut that road down. that's because the storm surge has cove

. >> ian: we have a major update here from the national hurricane center. it is subtle but there you go indication it is still intensifying the air force reserve has been conducting a recon flight watching the storm get much stronger. this is what prompted the upgrade at major hurricane status and they found the pressure dropped 12 millibars maximum sustained wind were is up 10 miles per hour. >> jane: intensification at category four has never been felt that this part of the florida coastline before. the big bend it takes a lot to have a storm bend up into that area. you can see the rapid intensification here at the trend for the minimum central pressure. look at monday afternoon. you can still see the storm come together to take on those strong characteristics it was apparent moving into the gulf of mexico. now feeding of those warmer waters. nearly perfect environment. >> just going back 24 hours three oh 4:00 a.m. here on the east coast yesterday at 3:00 o'clock a.m. 981. now it has dropped at 944. and that relationship is inverse the lower the number o

. >> ian: patrick that was a frustrating exercise for folks last year as ian cut in and then folks that came from the west coast felt the impacts on the east coast. this an entirely different setup so certainly some refuge on the other side of the state. fox 35 orlando reporter patrick perez thanks for joining us here on fox weather >> fox weather is a companion network to fox news, we welcome you in if you're watching us tonight. we have continuing coverage on all of your favorite connected devices. we're everywhere you are and you can find us 24/7 right here on fox weather. tonight we are watching idalia every step of the way, a storm that is expected to be a category 4 at land fall early wednesday morning. keep it here with us on fox weather. ♪ mara, are you sure you don't want -to go bowling with us tonight? -yeah. no. there's my little marzipan!

ian happened in late september. bending in florida in the record book is a late september and october phenomenon. it's never before in august. so the weather pattern in general is very unusual. kind of loosely related to the heat dome, which was and is stunningly exceptional. >> neil: so as far as what the rest of the hurricane season looks like -- >> the water temperatures in the far eastern atlantic are exceptionally warm. if a system gets organized, it will have fuel. the weather pattern is not typical. the next will turn north right away. we'll see about the one after that. you don't predict these things more than a week in advance because you'll always be wrong. >> neil: got it. when you walk on a set to talk to other meteorologists, like you were the yoda meteorologist. >> thank you. >> neil: we're not worthy! all right. we're getting a read from the president of the united states. he's already talked to the governors involved dealing with this in their separate states. what he's telling them and what they're

we saw a little bit of this after hurricane ian. to go in and lose somebody's house is really the lowest of the low. from a law enforcement perspective, our state resources are available to help the shares department, any visible police departments to ensure that looters are not allowed to ransack storm stricken areas. reporter: [indiscernible] 18, watch c-span new spirit -- new sies that will feature 10 books that have provoked., won awards, led to significant societal c and are still ahead of the premier, we are using the c-span archives to gain more insight into each book and its author. tonight at 9:00 eastern, author and historian recounts the life of supreme court justice oliver wendell holmes and his legal philosophy. >> his real view about the constitution and democracy he said legislatures are every much as courts the defenders of rights and he thought it undermined democracy for courts to be overturning laws without a clear absolute beyond a reasonable doubt standard. >> after 10:00 p.m., an author and curator talks about

ian and ian in terms of intensification and weakening, similar.eakened just before coming ashore. when we get final analysis, we will find the right side, hurricane is moving to the right that is the part with strongest wind ush approximating onshore from the gulf to land, storm surge. that in this one, was significantly weaker and weakened last hour before landfall, ian did. original projection up to 15 foot of storm surge, this one, jasper don't thdon't think are materialize. don't think. steinhatchee, end of a long road and they are marshy, they will do their best to figure out what storm surge was. we may find a spot that storm surge up in that range. looking at radar and satellite, it lost energy before landfall. that was during the period energy was shifting and that is causing flooding in valdasta and that will be major flood threat from south georgia through the carolinas. >> emily: tell us about the ancillary damage and risk, storm surge will potentially bring the most damage. we discussed what would have been routine firefighting endeavo

our ian cole goes one-on-one with joe montana. what the former quarterback thinks about brock purdy. let's start with the haze today as it continues to cover the bay area. it does appear the air is improving after fires burning in northern california and southern oregon have pushed all that smoke into our area for days now. that smoke combined with smog and heat triggered an unhealthy air warning yesterday. experts tell us as the weather conditions start to change we are seeing skies include slowly but surely. >> some of the smoke goes high into the atmosphere but it is the stuff that stays a bit lower that we are focused on and the air will get blown away from the fire and gradually spread out. >> schools in the south bay are keeping an eye on the air quality and are prepared to have lunch indoors and recess if necessary. let's bring in jeff ranieri. when can we expect things to clear out? >> tonight we'll see things improve and tomorrow is when a lot of the smoke gets out of here. we'll give everybody a closer look at that and t

we during ian, we did after ian came through, we did a citizen survey on what things we could have done better. one of the things that came out was more early messaging for evacuations. so this time we were very proactive with it. we sat down, we looked at the models, we got with the national weather service. got their concurrence on what we looked at and decided to message people to get out. >> neil: and you're doing your job and then some. director, you're not getting sleep or rest. i'm sure people appreciate you. be safe yourself. thank you. >> thank you. >> neil: a lot of the communities along this way, some dealing with similar situations with ian last year. how they're bracing for that right now. we'll talk to the mayor of tampa after this. it's easy to get lost in investment research. introducing j.p. morgan personal advisors. hey david. connect with an advisor to create your personalized plan. let's find the right investments for your goals okay, great. j.p. morgan wealth management. there's never a dull moment for the nelsons'... fifth generation montana ranchers. since 1868, t

i want to go back to hurricane ian.e ian hit, you had many communities of color, you also had poor communities complaining that they were not prioritized during this time. so they didn't get necessary relief that they wanted and they felt like they were kind of put on the back burner. many of these areas are in places that are more physically vulnerable. what is your message to those who have that concern that there may be a repeat in their community? >> so during hurricane ian we had a large amount of people that were impacted by that storm and we had teams of personnel that went out into communities across the state. and as we heard stories of maybe pockets of people we may have missed we immediately sent our teams out in those areas to make sure they were getting registered for assistance and we were bringing all the resources that were available. what i would say is if you hear about groups of individuals in parts of the state that after the storm passes are of need and they aren't getting that let me know. i will s

ian: they are spreading.heir story has always been one of how quickly we can become as pervasive as we think we can be. that has really been a strong story for them. but at the same time, they are trying to do more than that. they're trying to move up the stack to be more of a technology provider, do more of the designs, provide more of the complete picture and be less reliant on actual chipmakers. that, in theory brings companies like amazon, not traditionally a chipmaker, can design their own chips. ed: they use that as part of what goes through the aws offering. explain arm's is an is an exposure in china. ian: it's like many semiconductor companies in this country. china is the biggest market for chips. you want to be there. but at the same time, washington is more and more concerned about china's capabilities in chips and is taking steps to limit what u.s. or other companies outside of china can do inside china. that is the conflict there and that is when he saw detailed discussions about these are the r

nbc bay area's ian cull spoke with parents about the group and the tension, ian. what is going on here? >>> the superintendent sent out a letter to parents saying this group that calls itself informed parents of silicon valley has been out-of-schools handing out this paper. the district says the group has become aggressive and parents and kids are feeling unsafe. police were called to laurel wood after a parent grabbed the box of flyers and then a scuffle ensued. the parent was bitten by one of the people handing out the flyers. we spoke with a parent about the group and the message. >> when i first rode past the lady she said my parents were right to take them away. she yelled at me and said it is not. and so then, yeah, i was upset about it. >> there's yelling, there's apparently, allegedly, biting. what's the district doing about this, and is this group doing anything wrong? >> by being on the sidewalk, well, you know, the district says they fully support the group's right to free speech. they're allowed to be there, but says in this situation they really cross

that was just about a year ago when we were talking about ian coming in.hers and sisters in south florida, but their recovery is one of the best the show people what can happen with the storms, and how storm surge can really devastate neighborhoods. folks have seen that example on video. i think that they are responsive to it. it is a great object lesson there. >> is that the primary concern right now, mayor, the storm surge? >> yeah. you know, our saying is run from the water, and hide from the wind. folks in our area in pinellas county, we are a city of 200,000 of almost a 1 million. out of the 1 million, 338,000 or so have been asked to evacuate from the areas, because we are a peninsula within a peninsula, and we are very susceptible to storm surge. folks need to move now, because of the next 12 hours, we are expecting to see 4 to 7 feet of storm surge. >> for those in the mandatory evacuation zones and decided to hunker down to get water and other goods, what is your advice to them? what should be on the top of their list? >> i think that we lost him.

ian wright i expected bit more ian wright i expected a bit more of you remember ian wright of do youcame out very in support of came out very much in support of gary went strike. gary lineker, went on strike. >> fact. >> in fact. >> in fact. >> gary lineker so would have >> gary lineker so i would have expected more him. expected a bit more of him. >> he's worried. >> but and yet he's worried. what people say? what does people say? >> but, you know, everyone has to speak out there because if you the only voice you're you don't, the only voice you're going the people from going to hear is the people from stonewall are to stonewall who are trying to cancel altogether. women's stonewall who are trying to canceldon't altogether. women's stonewall who are trying to canceldon't mattergether. women's rights don't matter to stonewall. know, stonewall. you know, they're trying what we think, trying to control what we think, what they want to what we say. they want to obliterate words like mother, and want what's the what's obliterate words like mother, andword want what's the what's obliterat

talking about with ian, the storm surge we were going to see actually sucked the water out of our bay. as i've told everybody, mother nature is unpredictable, the one certain thing is that in the end she's going to win. >> aishah: mayor, quickly, i know the county is watching the lafayette river -- alfaia river. what is the assessment on the hillsborough river? >> i actually live on that river and we saw flooding there, the alafaia, it floods, not on a regular basis but clearly in these types instances and so we did see three, maybe even four feet over the banks along those rivers. but individuals that have lived on the river, on the water for some time understand what can happen with these tidal surges and hopefully the majority of them took the steps necessary to get out of harm's way, take their boats away, whatever they needed to do to protect their family and their valuables. >> john: mayor, just final question, sorry if i could. last year hurricane ian as it came roaring ashore in fort myers, we saw a lot of boats thrust up out of the bay there and well inland. as far as you kno

went through, and we saw sort of the loss of life that we had with ian, we had not seen so far thatdalia. so two things. you have a less populated area. you also have the fact that that was so fresh in the minds of floridians, those images from fort myers beach, when the storm surge came rolling in. a lot of people here remembered that, and you sort of hope that people heeded those warnings and that is why we are not seeing huge loss of life. cristian, what are the stories of people you have been talking to who have been affected by this? well, one big thing that is happening here is, there has been concern about contaminated fuel. in fact, about 29 gas stations along this region are thought to have had unleaded fuel that was potentially mixed with diesel, and so that is now further compounded by the fact that we had a hurricane, and when is the gas going to be delivered? now, we haven't heard of any specific stories of people unable to get around because of it, but it has been on the minds of floridians now. there are published reports about what some people have lived through, par

our ian cole will tell us about the program in the south bay keeping people off the streets. we're following other big stories. san francisco mayor is speaking out. she is calling out a court order that she says is making at that harder to keep the city safe. >>> and there's a new effort brewing in the south bay. san francisco's anchor brewery. today is the day anchor officially closes. today we are hearing about keeping them running. >>> are they connected? we are learning new details about a stripping of robberies targeting postal workers but not for the mail they're carrying. we'll get to the stories in a moment. a developing story out of the east bay. people in one san pablo neighborhood are being asked to stay inside while firefighters clean up a possible hazmat situation. this is at stanton avenue and giant road. so this is what we know at this point. a family called 911 to report old chemicals. it is not clear what those chemicals are. firefighters say they are volatile. they're asking people to stay indoors, keep clear of this area while they work. >>> bay area mail c

ian lyngen. the ten year treasury a screaming buy.or, you know, he has west ham in first place for starters. he would suggest that's where we are going into the only question is the x axis. we are going to see a lower rate regime. jon: maybe 3%. 3.75% by year end. tom: we do have the time to do it. we will do it later but there back to the -- but they are back to the irregularities going to 1959. amazing. jon: welcome to the program. equity markets now just about negative but 0.1% -- negative by 0.1%. let's get to that know by apollo. he says when interest rates increase, the household sector has to pay more for debt, but household also receive high cash flow and fixed income assets. dividing households interest payments with households interest income shows that debt servicing cost as a share of interest income are the highest level since 1959. both debt servicing costs and interest payments have increased as the fed has raised rates, but debt servicing costs have just increased more. jon: huge dynamic. we talk about standard db -- s

the medical director, ian harvey, gave a verbal report.ady to draw a line under the issues. the chief executive, tony chambers, said he had met lucy letby and her parents to apologise for what had happened. a statement written by letby was read out, detailing how hard the past few months had been for her. the meeting decided lucy letby would return to the neonatal unit after the paediatricians had written a letter apologising to her. this is the letter sent to her, signed by all seven of the paediatricians. against their wishes, they apologised for any inappropriate comments that had been made, going on to say, "we are very sorry for the stress and upset you have experienced in the last year." though the paediatricians feared being reported to the regulator, they kept going, urging the trust to report the cases to the police, something the trust did eventually in 2017. protecting the reputation of the organisation was a big factor in how people responded to the concerns raised. they were dragged kicking and screaming, the executive team, t

look at ian areas that will get a taste of the highest winds. tropical systems are stronger than tropical storms, last one they had was andrea and peak wind was 45 to 50, gainesville probably had wind gusts stronger than that. it is interesting because a lot of inland location, talk about benchmark of storms, many inland locations are nontropical storms. idalia may change that from north florida to georgia. it will be a hurricane when it crosses the florida/georgia line. that is a big deal to see it extend further inland is game-changer and more areas will get a taste of strong wind. extent of having the wind toward the center is trend to watch, too. as you know, that forward motion starts to pick up, the wind can expand. we want as few folks as possible affected by hurricane force wind. sustained tropical storm wind will take out power, especially areas like gainesville, tallahassee, known for awesome, gorgeous trees, part of being in the south and why you love living here because of how beautiful it is with the large trees. they will come down

there was debris for hurricane ian, but i think a more diverse array of debris. it was not just trees, boats and structures. in some way that was a big challenge. we know where the debris a's, we know there is a lot of debris. we will be working with the local communities to be able to do it. some of the communities in this state have not necessarily been hit with a major hurricane before. there are some in north-central florida may not have a debris removal contract in place or as a county in southwest florida are going to have that because it is something they have to deal with. some of the stuff they will need to lean onto the state to be able to help. we stand by being able to help them get that done. there is going to be -- in times like these there's always people who want to come up and scam you. be weary of what people are telling you right now. there are going to be crews to clear the roads, certainly the public roads are going to be done. you get a private debris remover becomes trickier in terms of what is reimbursed and that. that is going to be taken

and we saw that with hurricane ian just how massive the storm surge was.o you are going to see parts of the coast probably in the big bend area that is going to have really significant storm surge. we actually anticipate the national hurricane center to increase their estimates for the storm surge, particularly in the big bend from where it was this morning. so please be advised. you've got time. you've got the ability to do. i know all these counties have opened up shelters, you can go stay with friends, family. i know there's deals on hotels. you still have time to do that if you're in this big bend area, but time is running out very, very rapidly. we are working with counties to make sure they have the resources they need, they need to be able to help their residents. whether this hurricane, we've had more than 450 active missions we've fulfilled or will have those fulfilled some time today, all 450 of them. and i want to thank the florida division of emergency management for that. we're now up to 1.1 million gallons of fuel that is on standby to be abl

but i really think that ian, we were in the crosshairs of hurricane ian.ade the turn into fort myers beach in the surrounding area, i think that really resonated with tampa residents that had never experienced that type of a storm. and, so, i'm just hoping that they heed those warnings. i think that our community will be safe. i just don't want anyone to be injured after the fact when we're dealing with the surge tomorrow. and that's when the majority of the injuries have occurred historically in our community. >> mayor jane castor, we know you're very busy at this hour. appreciate you joining us. thank you. >> thank you. i appreciate it. >>> "outfront" next, we continue our coverage of this breaking news. we're actually going to speak with a hurricane hunter up in the air right now flying through the storm. so what did his team find? stay with us for that. >>> plus, we're also going to take you to cedar key, florida. this is a town that could suffer a direct hit. officials warning this is the time for everyone to get out. about a hundred people say they'r

but i think probably the most impactful for our community was ian. as you know, we were in the cross hairs for ian and it took that dog leg turn into fort myers beach and devastated that area. so that really i think hit home for a lot of our community that what if ian had come in to our area at that same speed. the devastation that we would have seen. so that's probably the closest to a real life scenario that our community has seen in a while. >> again, that is fresh in your memory because that was only a year ago. let me ask you about the reports. contaminated gas in the region as people are trying to fuel up to get out of the storm? how concerned are you about that? >> we've actually taken care of that. we have incredible relationships here in the tampa bay region. i found out about that contaminated fuel early on. we were able to identify the stations that that fuel went to. and really curtail the distribution of that pretty quickly. so that hasn't been an issue for our community but again, we're prepared for the storm surge, for the electrical o

this hurricane, rapid intensification is the issue and theme of what we see, even from hurricane ianck 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 are in a foot of water, some areas expecting 15 feet of storm surge. safety is paramount and we know you will get to higher and safer ground. most homes in florida are single story and much smaller than 15 feet. are those homeings going to get wiped out with the storm surge? >> if there is a home on the big bend north of here where it goes into th

sideline reporter michele and seniorad visor at american first legal ian pryer. new concern surrounding age and health of our nation's top plate cal leaders. mcconnell appeared to freeze again yesterday at a news conference in kentucky, pausing for 30 seconds. >> what are your thoughts about running for reelection? >> my thoughts on what? >> oh. >> did you hear the question, senator, running for reelection in 2026? >> we need a minute. >> emily: this is second time something like this happened to him at a news coverage. similar thing happened in june. his office chalked this up to light headedness, adding he will see a doctor to be safe. and dianne feinstein has made headlines for a recent fall at her home and several moments of confusion caught on camera. president biden fitness for office is coming into question following gaff es, and stumbles in public. new book is raising red flags about the health of our commander-in-chief, claiming he's told his staff he feels tired and they try to ep coo his schedule clear before 10 a.m. the white house was pressed on that

. >> after ian last year, i'm actually keeping a hurricane kit because ian kind of snuck up on us. >>9 counties are under emergency evacuation orders. officials warning millions of residents along florida's west coast to get to higher ground. >> this is going to be a major hurricane. this is going to be a powerful hurricane. >> reporter: supplies are quickly running out. this woman grabbed the last few remaining gallons of water at this publix. >> are you ready? >> yeah, i'm used to it. just bunker down and hope for the best and pray we have power. >> reporter: residents are being asked to keep their gas tanks at least half full. but there are concerns after gas was contaminated at 29 gas stations across florida. tampa international airport will close at midnight and will remain closed until after the storm. norah, you'll recall last year, hurricane ian switched tracks at the very last minute, so officials are telling everyone along florida's gulf coast to be on alert. norah. >> i do remember that. cristian benavides, thank you. >>> well, that's why 300 miles of florida's gulf coast i

>> the difference is -- one difference between in and ian is ian was -- hit category five going in to fort myers. it went all the way up the interior of the state all the way out to the atlantic ocean around daytona beach. the sheer number of people without power and suffered severe damage was probably as much as ever happened in a hurricane in the history of the state of florida. this storm, the bands, there's obviously i'll pacts far and wide and we've seen tornadoes and things hundreds of miles away. the bulk of the storm going through north central florida, what you'll see with all the wooded areas, you'll see a lot more trees, you'll see a lot more debris. there was debris, of course, for hurricane ian. but it was more diverse array of debris. it wasn't all just trees. different pieces of structures and boats. in some cases, that was a big challenge. i think this, we know where the debris is. we know there's a lot of debris. so we'll be working with the local communities. you know, some of these communities in this part of the state have never necessarily been hit with a major hu

ian, thanks very much. next few days. ian, thanks very much- yes. _ next few days.much- yes. i — next few days. ian, thanks very much. yes, i think _ next few days. ian, thanks very much. yes, i think roger - next few days. ian, thanks very - much. yes, i think roger has some news coming in from hawaii. we will take a look at the rest of the main stories this morning, starting in hawaii. 89 people are now confirmed to have died in wildfires in hawaii, making it the deadliest disaster of its kind in the us for more than a century. there are fears this number will rise further as hundreds are still unaccounted for. with the latest details, here's our us west coast correspondent sophie long. this is what remains of lahaina. cars abandoned as people ran and jumped into the sea to escape the flames. homes and businesses reduced to charred remains. president biden promised immediate help. set every available asset should be used to provide it. days later, people here say it is not yet reaching those most in need. people like felicia are desperately trying to get supplies

yes. 150 lives lost during hurricane ian, | lives lost during hurricane ian, many of them as a result and as you say, many residents still picking up the pieces of their lives, you know, struggling with insurance payouts, and yet here we are, with another event. this one coming ashore slightly further north but of course that doesn't mean they will be spared. strong winds expected right along the gulf coast, so this is a nightmare for people who lived through ian at the end of last year. and you know, the concern once again, in terms of the bigger picture and the bigger context, are these unusually warm sea temperatures. they don't because hurricane but once a hurricane has begun to develop, those warm water surface temperatures add power to the hurricane and again that is what the hurricane and again that is what the scientists are saying this time around, at the moment it is a category one hurricane but because of the warm waters they are expecting it to intensifies, the prediction is as it comes to sure, it is a category three storm, that is a significant weather event and the auth

in -- hurricane ian was different because you saw where that hit. it would move both hundreds of yards, even thousands of yards into the middle of a field somewhere and you are like, how does that happen? that is a level of power that came in basically at category five in a much more populated area. more opportunity to have destruction whereas i think this one, there was definitely a lot of destruction, but it is so much debris and so much woods, that is going to require effort to clean all that up. >> about six to eight counties, state police, power and restoration within the next 48 hours? >> right. the outages are primarily the --, the madison, a little bit of leavy, suwanee, dixie, what. -- those types. what kevin said yesterday is that there would be significant progress within 48 hours. i don't think that we would be in a position to say that it could be fully restored, simply because if there is structural damage, you're going to have to rebuild some of that stuff. if it is reconnect, we've got the people there, that is going to get done. if

. >> janice: this will be comparable to what ian did to the for fort myers. it's the continental shelf so all of this water goes on top of shallow ground and then when you talk about the tide so the natural rise in water, 16 feet with waves on top of that? i mean, it's devastating for this region. i'm so concerned for the people who decided to ride it out. i was listening to the first responders saying "we're not going to be able to get to you." >> ainsley: cedar key you have mentioned that. that little island the closist big city is gainesville but it's out there. and there is one little bridge. >> janice: you are cut off. >> ainsley: 100 residents decided to stay and they say every home could be flooded. and we saw that, remember, with ian we saw was it sanibel island and remember the governor built that bridge back very quickly so he was praised for that but you worry about the families that are there. >> janice: still people can't get into their homes. >> ainsley: sean's his parents had to put him in the home. i had to transport my mom with her oxygen. >>

ian, do you care to explain this one?e they just talking about the weather or was this one big illusion? brings us back to the fbi 1023 form. in his lengthy statement, ,well, seems accused speaker mccarthy on this program last night of spreading lies about this form and took issue with mccarthy's claim of the fbi did not act on the bribery allegations from its own trusted informant. sims claims this has been thoroughly debunked by guess who "the washington post," the propaganda outlet for all things democratic socialist. sims wants us to trust that the fbi handled the allegations properly. well, apparently in the fantasy world the politicized fbi should never be scrutinized, forget the russia collusion hoax, forget that the fbi propagated all of that for years and years. forget about hillary's dirty dossier that they use to get and secure not one but four fisa warrants. used as evidence to back door spy on the trump campaign and ruin carter page's light. forget about fight studies and the politically biased fbi agents fir

you talked about ian last year.emember what happened at fort myers, they had a 10 to 15-foot storm surge. very capable to that. wind gusts 81 miles per hour at hoarse shoe beach. sarasota 70 miles per hour. looking at the satellite imagery and put a marker on here a few minutes ago, probably about 20 minutes ago. we are 7 miles from the center of the storm. so that is just an historical point. the lowest pressure point that comes on shore. national hurricane center deems the place where it comes on shore and the time. it's just for historic purposes. we are seeing the worst of the winds right now, that core of hurricane force winds is going to last for a duration of hours here. and we actually have an extreme wind warning. it doesn't happen very often but because of how strong this storm is, and winds in excess of 100 miles per hour, you can see the really strong core of winds, you know, right there. so extreme wind warning until 9:15 for the counties of dixie and taylor. so the core. >> strongest winds making landf
