fox weather's max gorden has assessed the damage for us in naples. >> water still fills the streets here in naples, florida, after a massive storm surge inundated the city as hurricane ian came to shore. you can see this roadway still filled with water. behind me, right here, folks cleaning up the damage. lots of palm fronds, other debris from the storm. streets are blocked off here. as you can see, the winds were really whipping. you can look and see this palm tree stripped from the winds. we've got a vehicle driving up here. really almost up to the bumper there. you can see how high the water is. you can see how this storm surge came. if you come over here, you can look at the line of debris on this house. really houses filled with water. it looks like between 2 to 3 feet of water in some cases. going to be a lot of work mucking these homes out. >> tucker: food price, if you've been to the grocery store, you know are continuing to climb. political leaders like joe biden and elizabeth warren say it has nothing to do with the war in ukraine, but greedy grocers who are getting rich. we ne

max gorden is in fort myers where it looks pretty good now, max, but people getting ready? what's coming? >> reporter: yeah. well, it looks good now, but things are going to be changing over the next couple of days. now, not only has the governor declared a state the wide state of emergency, he's also requested a federal pre-landfall emergency declaration. that would unlock additional federal resources and also put the national guard on standby. today the weather is calm, the sun is out. things are going to change drastically. this storm has the potential for storm surge, flash flooding, strong winds, heavy rainfall and isolated tornadoes. emergency officials say now is the time to prepare and to know if you're in an evacuation zone. as emergency managers like to say, people should run from the water and hide from the wind. florida also provides evacuation assistance to people with medical conditions, and the state is urging people who might need help to register now so they can get out in time. already we've seen a scramble for supplies. food and water quickly disappearing
