these hotels completely booked in ocala. me and my photographer were lucky to get the hotel that we got, but they were telling us they're getting a lot of people from the coast line coming in, which is a good sign. of course, we want people to get to higher ground and get to a safer area. so, of course, as the storm continues to go on, we'll monitor it from out here, but this is probably the most rain we've seen so far at least as of right now. back to you guys. >> jane: all right, deborah. you talk about how the hotels are full. what about storm shelters? any opening up around the county for those of us who want to get out and get to a safe place? >> funny you say that actually. i spoke with the marion county sheriff earlier tonight. their shelter levels are very low. that means that people at that time were not using those shelters. hopefully if they're up right now and watching the newscast, the local news or at fox wea weather, they're seeing, ok, it's time for me to move. there are shelters open throughout the county an

mark's, florida, where public information officer for the ocala county sheriff's office, jared jeffery arturo joins us now. officer, thank you for being here because ocala county could actually see some of the worst storm surge. are people still evacuating tonight or is it too late at this point? >> well, it certainly is not too late, depending on where you are out and where you are intending to go to. but we are getting to that point. we very much anticipate that we're going to start feeling the sustained effects of tropical storm force winds in the next two hours. when that occurs, it is going to be too late for citizens to leave. you know, our message largely to army community right now is that it may be too late for you to, go you've got to hunker down and hold tight and stay put until the storm passes and were able to get everything cleared up. >> the mother in may is just thinking about what it is like for those who may have no choice, or children to shelter in place. thinking about trying to keep everyone in that household calm, children included. for those who are sheltering in

we have trucks near the villages at ocala and tropicana field. >> ashley: as far as inventor and he supplieseverything you need? are you looking for more? >> we have supplies throughout our service territory, we keep them as far away as possible, we don't want the storm to blow through the materials, we bring materials as close as we can, far enough away so they are not in the way of the storm. as soon as the storm passes, they will be deployed to power outages. we cover that pinellas county area and we have about twenty,000 customers in this pinellas county area, customers without power in the state of florida. >> ashley: how long can outages last? >> right now, the outages in pinellas county, damage may not be as great, we cover up through mexico beach area. some territory is going to get hit with a cat 4 storm, that damage will be more serious, wires and poles down and that will take longer to repair. >> ashley: anna gibbs, thank you for your time. >> todd: with that, bring in michael waltz, joins us now, and congressman from florida. your district is not necessarily in the cross hairs, y

pete: we're until toll he plays 30 minutes a day at his retirement home in ocala, florida.er folks there look forward to him plague. world war ii vet, still kicking. love it. rachel: yes, that is awesome. happy birthday. pete: we appreciate it. rachel: all right. former president trump hitting campaign trail yesterday in alabama, slamming protectors of president biden for what he says is direct interference, election interference. will: trump saying the indictment this week in d.c. was ridiculous and an ab act of desperation by the president and allies. pete: alexandria hoff joining us from washington with the latest. >> reporter: good morning. logistically, the former president's court appearance appeared like a blip on his campaign calendar. hours after pleading not guilty, trump traveled to alabama delivering remarks at a dinner hosted by the state party. here's what he had to say. >> this ridiculous indictment against us, it's not a legal case, it's an act of desperation by a failedded, a disgraced, crooked joe biden and his radical left thugs to preserve their grip on

coming up next, ocala talked about that super that give you the exact time. that's the best way that you can catch it. >> and coming up friday, kron four's becoming the bay area. cw featuring an entirely new prime time lineup, including inside nfl. that's on tuesdays. and even with this change, we're still the bay area's news station. also starting on friday, we're adding a new 02:00pm and 11:00pm newscast. still be covered in prime time news starting at 8 on the kron on app and also on kron 4 dot com. and you can take a closer look at our lineup by scanning that qr code on your screen or by visiting "the doctor will see you now." but do they really? do they see that crick in your neck? that ache in your heart? will they see that funny little thing that wasn't there last year? a new bounce in your step? the way your retinal scan connects to your blood sugar? at kaiser permanente all of us work together to care for all that is you. >> all right. happening tonight, it's a super treat in the sky. a super blue moon on the west coast and should be its brightest ar

even inland possibly as far inland as ocala, orlando.s is kind of the right side of the eye here toward tampa and inland. so, yes, so many things are going to go wrong. not will. the things that could go right, the water could be cold. it is not. there could be a lot of shear. right now there is but that will end tonight. there could be some land interaction. there won't be. there could be some dry air. there is not. so those are the four things that could cool the storm down, and we have none of it. we have nothing other than things to make the storm get stronger. and up toward the big bend of florida here, this is the area here cedar key, highway 19, i-10 will likely be shut down at some point in time with these trees falling on the interstate, falling on the roadways. you need to evacuate before that happens. the water is 85, 90 degrees out here. we've never seen a hurricane in this type of water in the gulf before. the gulf hasn't been this warm before. so that makes sense. 7 to 11 foot storm surge in towns here, cedar key, that don'

systemic racism has effectively been erased, or censored in the state of florida, but in a place like ocalaacial terror was inflicted on the black residents, as black property owners literally fled the town, their properties were re-sold to white residents for pennies on the dollar. i mean this is how we end up in a place with such perverted economic disenfranchisement and political disenfranchisement. and i wonder, we had the mini documentary that we just played, the kids in oakland we want to learn about their history, but i worry that so much of the connective threat is being lost when people are literally having to find out about events like the ocoee massacre on the internet and they are not being shown the full spectrum of events that has led us to where we are today. do you worry about that as an academic? what resources people have to paint a full picture of our american history? >> sure, there are two things to your point. one is that ocoee is not a typical that land laws -- if you really want to get into the most hard aspects of the history you can look at the scale of the land lo

host: let's hear from mark in ocala, florida. democrats line with our guest.ler: pedro, i love seeing you on the show and scott, you are a tremendous spokesman. you are doing your job well. i am a former u.s. marine. i was a cop in miami and i went into the marine corps. i wanted to say the adjectives used a lot in conservative description of the justice department is weaponization of the justice department and that word appeals to a lot of folks but in pushback of the word weaponization, from my perspective, my association working for the u.s. government, in a marine corps capacity at the u.s. embassies but when you break the law and you are an fbi agent, you get arrested. the fbi arrests their own people if they find them to be breaking the law and they also arrest department of justice employees. it is interesting, living in a country where the secret service or cia or nasa or marines, you name a federal agency, they are all wrong but everybody is placing from conservative standpoint, all of the trust into one individual. to me, that is astounding compariso
