the center over north florida moving just south of madison, florida and we can see the very strong north west eyewall that's still moving inland. we saw wind gusts 80, 85, almost 90 miles-an-hour in perry. they're moving to madison and we're seeing the inland wind threat play out while we still have a high storm surge along the coast of the big bend. cedar key you were talking to the person from leavey county. they have 6 to 7 feet of inundation and well south of where the hurricane made landfall. storm surge will stay up for several more hours as these west winds on the back side of idalia continue to push the gulf waters against the coast there. >> bret: it was a category 4 as it came to shore but came on shore at landfall category 3. the real problem is the surge as we've been hearing down there. >> yeah, certainly that has the potential to kill the most people. if we talk 12 to 16 feet above ground level. i'm six feet tall. that's 6 to 10 feet above my head. not a survivable event. we asked people to evacuate those areas if they're told to do so. the surge threat will continue with 4

now, cedar key, florida, is north of tampa. it's in florida's big bend.s is where some of the worst impacts will be felt. the wind gusts up to 140 miles an hour, 8 to 12in of rain. the storm surge will be life threatening, 10 to 15ft, folks. and the worst of these conditions are happening now into about noon time today. so idalia's path moving forward through myrtle beach on thursday morning as a tropical storm and then out into areas near bermuda as we head into the weekend. look at the wind forecast, folks. savannah, georgia, could have gusts as high as 100 miles an hour and near landfall. that could be well over 140 miles an hour. and also 8 to 12in of rain from south georgia to florida. back to you. morgan and andrew, this is one serious storm. >> kevin, thank you. and stay with abc news for live coverage of hurricane idalia. and in just a few minutes, we'll hear from a top emergency management official in florida. >> well, 11 people had to be hospitalized after severe turbulence on a delta flight to atlanta. the flight coming from milan, italy, lande

there's a lot of trees in this area of north florida, and we could see significant tree damage and powerages that come on top of that. for our friends in the southeast coast, this has not changed, right along the coast of south carolina and exiting somewhere south of wilmington. should not have a lot of power outages because of the winds. i am worried about the high tide in savannah thursday night, and that would be the storm surge coming in there so savannah could have high water issues. our computer models are all to the west. this black line is the hurricane center. the majority of them are closer to tallahassee than the hurricanes forecast and we will see if that westward trend continues. these are all areas where we are concerned with, and cedar key, where we just had our live shot from, that is located here and will be in some of the peak storm surge. 7 to 11 feet right here in this area right here, and that's the major concern. there's not a lot of population centers there. there's not even beaches in this area, but it's swampy area. for those that live in cedar key, this is a pro

so those big bend counties, as we get into north central florida, you know, you're in jeopardy at thatse places where it's going to hit the eye wall, or the eye wall is coming in to be able to not mess with it. it's going to be a significant, significant impact. >> any concerns about the hundred that decided to stay on cedar key? >> well, sure. i think that it's a hazardous situation. if you end up with storm surge that even approaches that 16 feet, the chance of surviving that is not great. you would need to be maybe even like on a three-story building because it is going to rise very, very highly. so -- but there were some -- now, most people did heed the warning, but there were some that just -- that's just -- that's what they wanted to do. and so once this passes there will be rescue efforts done, and done if need be, and hopefully it's not necessarily, hopefully they knew what they were doing and they have a spot. but it's potentially very, very hazardous when you're talking about really anything even approaching ten feet. when you start talking about potentially 16 feet that is a

the new college of florida, the university of north florida and the university of south florida. in a lot of those cases, out of caution, ahead of the storm's arrival formally tomorrow. andrew fosso, the pasco county emergency management director. how is your vantage point? >> so we're still looking at a possible category three phase storm. paralleling our coast, going by us. we are looking at a storm surge of anywhere between six and nine feet. we've been informed that we're going to have sustained winds anywhere between 60, 80 miles an hour along the coast and inland also. we will get some stronger gusts as the storm passes by us. we've been very proactive with this storm. compared to when we had ian. this storm is one of our worst nightmare storms. we're hoping that it stays on the track and does not start making more of an easterly trajectory because that just puts us in a worsen ordinary yes. we do have six shelters open. we have nine sandbag sites open at this time. we've been proactively messaging the citizens of pasco county to heed the warning. you know, run from the win

>> done on county by county basis, gulf coast from tampa bay up until north florida on the coastal areasbarrier island or places low-lying on the coast are under mandatory or voluntary evacuation orders because of storm surge. storms of this nature, you run from the water and hide from the wind. if you get away from coastal areas to higher ground. in florida, most structures are able to withstand a hurricane as long as you don't have three or four feet of storm surge. that is really what people are looking at. when someone says to evacuate, you don't need to get in your car and drive 200 miles to outrun the storm, just find higher ground, hotel, shelter, friend's house not in danger of the storm surge and that is sufficient and i think people understand that. it is easier, less stresful, ride out the storm in a safe place and go back and inspect your property right after. >> brian: what percentage of florida buried lines because of so many hurricanes and natural disasters and how much better to get your power back if the lines are buried? >> well, look, i think by and large buried is goo

because there's a lot of downed power lines that's really the big story in parts of this area, north floridada in the summer, no power, lots of bugs, and all types of hazards on the streets now because of all the trees and the power lines. so still a very dangerous situation in parts of florida. that's the latest from perry, back to you guys in the studio >> it's an area you know well, having grown up there in florida. tom llamas, mr. llamas is back with where idalia is going to have an impact next. where the storm is right now >> and take a look, as far north as norfolk and just to the north of there, we're talking heavy feeder bands, showers and thunderstorms, all the way down to cape hatteras, where high tide is at 9:20 this morning 65 miles southeast of wilmington, north carolina, it's got 60-mile-per-hour winds, moving northeast at 20 miles per hour look at some of these winds. wilmington, 48-mile-per-hour wind gusts same in beaufort, 25-mile-per-hour wind gusts in kill devil hills norfolk seeing gusts of 41 miles per hour the system will move quickly offshore, and by this time tomorrow

and we're looking at temperatures hitting close to 100 degrees across north florida.tant, it is going to be 115 in baton rouge today. 108 in san antonio. 117 in corpus christi. this is going to be just a muggy dangerously hot day across the south. across the pacific northwest, here we go, portland hitting 106 on monday, and portland could break records on sunday, as well as monday. seattle, getting close to 90 degrees. temperatures normally 78. quite a difference there. spokane hitting the triple digits. medford, oregon, as well. dangerous heat. portland should be at 83 degrees this time of the year. in the triple digits. hitting 106 by monday. not falling into the 80s again until friday. also, we have a pretty active severe setup for today. we will see storms all across portions of the midsection of the country as well as the northeast. we will see showers and storms overnight, across the northeast, along the i-95 corridor. and across the midwest and the mid south, and we're going to see the possibility of storms today, and tomorrow. the biggest threat is going to be

during a storm that works its way up the gulf coast like this, dalia will end up leaving out a north florida into georgia and eventually the carolinas weakening as it does. so. but that worst impact. they're definitely in western florida will be keeping a close eye out as everyone will be here at home. we are just going to be looking at an increasingly hot and dry forecast because of this fire danger is going to be something we talk more and more about over the next 24 hours. this high-pressure ridge certainly built. and it's a combination of hot and windy conditions. you know, those 2 words don't go together too well. and we do have some fire weather watches because of that up in lake county as well as portions of solano county extended from today on into tomorrow are 2 very hottest days of this forecast. appearing of those winds with low humidity as well, that all the dry grasses and dry brush from this past summer and all the hot weather that we've been seeing. you can see winds pretty significant across the north bay. we're going to very strong northwesterly flow into the bay area today.

the big bend counties into north-central florida, you are in jeopardy at that point. so it is those places where it is going to hit the eye wall, where it is coming in, to be able to not mess with it. it is going to be a significant impact. >> it is a hazardous situation. the storm surge approaches 16 feet, chance of surviving that is not great. you would need to be maybe on a three-story building because it is going to rise very high. most people did he the warning. there are some that that is what they wanted to do, so once this passes, there will be rescue efforts done if need be. hopefully they knew what they were doing and they have a spot that is hazardous when you're talking about anything approaching 10 feet, talking about potentially 16 feet that is a huge deal. >> you said there would be 40,000 electrical lineman. gov. desantis: we said between 30 and 40 and that is where we are. >> we have not talked to it -- gov. desantis: yeah. >> in big bend and areas like to obey -- tampa bay? gov. desantis: it is difficult. if you look at the way florida is cut, to hav

florida. forecasters predict the us states of georgia, north carolina, and south carolina will also see heavy is the expected path of the idalia, hitting florida first, then travelling all the way up to the carolinas before heading back out to sea. the national hurricane center says residents there should be prepared for long duration power outages, damaging winds and areas of flash flooding. satellite images show the storm approaching. you can also see another storm lurking off the southeast of the us — that's hurricane franklin, a powerful category 4, but it's expected to stay out at sea. and this is hurricane idalia, seen from space as it edges closer to landfall. earlier, i spoke with the national hurricane center's jamie rhome to break down what we can expect from the storm. thank you forjoining us. where is the hurricane at now, it has changed its trajectory a little and strengthened? it is currently _ and strengthened? it is currently 200 - and strengthened? it 3 currently 200 miles south—west of tampa bay, florida, maximum wind has been increasing steadily during the day it is now a c

someone could get up to a foot of rain, especially in north florida, but even through the carolinas, four to eight inches is possible. as you expect, a major hurricane, you'll have all sorts of issues, we'll have to wait and see how this plays out to see if we get any last minute shifts. it looks like this one will head toward the big bend of florida. >> bill karins, thank you for that. >>> guad venegas is live from crystal river, florida, where evacuation orders are in effect. i want to let you know, guad, we're waiting for the white house press briefing and the fema administrator will be there. so pardon me if i have to interrupt you. give us a sense of what you're seeing on the ground when it comes to evacuations and other storm preps? >> reporter: chris, as we wait for this presser to begin, we have been getting alerts for these evacuation orders and i'm going to read what the alert is like that people get. the alert we got two hours ago said life threatening storm surge expected, evacuate citrus county zone a, take action now. that's the county that we're located. we are in one
