nbc's sam brock is in tampa. >> reporter: it's been an active morning in tampa, one of the 67 counties or every county in the state of florida currently under a state of emergency. of course, everyone anticipating what's going to happen next with hurricane ian at a category 1 status right now, but is nearly certain to get to major hurricane status 3 or 4 on the gulf and the impacts that could have for storm surge and coastal exposure all over florida. it's a 600 mile stretch from the panhandle to the peninsula that could conceivably be in play. you see all of these folks with shovels. sand has been the most precious commodity we've seen over the last 48 hours. trucks came in early this morning. all of that sand was gone within about an hour. luckily, there were reinforcements, but the people i talked to waited online for basically 5:00 to 5:30 in the morning. it's only one small of a piece of the puzzle. governor desantis mobilizing some 2,500 national guardsmen. electrical workers are on standby throughout the state. as a state of local emergency declared here in hillsborough, i spoke

we're joined by correspondent sam brock in gulfport, florida. sam. >> ari, good evening.e state of florida that have some form of evacuation order in effect, which is one-sixth of all of the counties in florida, so it's ubiquitous in terms of who is affected. tampa, if there's massive storm surge coming into tampa bay, it's the population center for the area. it appears they may have dodged that, but any wobble ten miles one direction or another could create catastrophic circumstances. so watching that track, still to this hour. behind me right now, i'm ungulfport, pinellas county. look at this right here. the water level is virtually street level at this point. if you were to look at this area, this aquatic preserve, it is surrounded by tampa bay on one side, the gulf of mexico on the other, which is to say, ari, if you look at this aerially, there is water from every angle coming at you from all sides. if there's storm surge, where is it supposed to go? i'm told by locals the boats here end up in the streets for like a tropical depression or a tropical storm. what about

. >> thank you jesse and from there we go to naples, florida where we find sam brock. a different situation there and the one we saw in orlando. tell us what is happening now on the ground in naples is people begin to assess the damage. >> reporter: i think right now the shock is setting in. we are 24 hours afterwards and what we saw in naples was a historic storm surge, 7.2 feet. it looks pristine here and this is why so many people come here in the first place. waterfront properties and this iconic peer over my shoulder and it is now half as long as it used to be. it has been around for decades and is now 500 feet. people are crying and worrying that it had been swept away. it is kind of a metaphor for what naples has been through in general. people have been battered and bruised. $200 million of damage for personal property alone according to the city. it is the emotional and psychological and how this changes from day to day. i interviewed a business owner who was 1-2 days away from opening up her brand-new shop. they have been saving she and her husband for years

has to be coffee. >> reporter: for the news i am sam brock. >>> 115 days till christmas.he christmas tree farmers in new jersey already warning you might not have a tree to put your gifts under this year. farmers there say the summer drought killed thousands of trees in the state. according to the national christmas tree association it takes an average of seven years to grow a christmas tree. farmer alan patterson says this year his trees didn't really grow at all. >> not only did the new trees not grow, we saw more losses in the smaller trees. if we go back and trim we may cut a lot of this out. it pushes out this new growth next year and it might be okay. >> farmers say this means christmas trees are likely to cost more and will be harder to find. they also recommend getting your tree a little later in the is in. however, if you are one of those people who refuses to go over to the fake christmas tree side, national christmas tree association tells cnbc it does expect there will be enough real trees for everyone hunting for one. >>> forget food fights in the cafeteria,

sam brock, michelle grossman and steve patterson, thank you very much for being with us. i want to bring in chief of emergency services in sarasota county. thank you for -- what's your biggest concern -- can you hear me? can you hear me? >> yes, i can hear you now. yes, sir. i can hear you now. >> sorry. what's your biggest concern with this storm right now? >> well, i believe that many people underestimated this and did not take it seriously. that's my concern. but we're at a point now where i'm looking out my window, i can see the winds are probably up there in 45 sustained. we don't send emergency vehicles out there anymore. if they're not there, we're getting really close. whoever did not go to an evacuation center, that's my concern. if they have power and they're watching this, they need to find a safe location in their home, a safe room to move to if things start going bad. if they didn't leave, i'm very concerned about folks that did that. >> yeah, let's talk to those people who still have power and they're watching us here on msnbc and saying, all right, i stayed

nbc news correspondent sam brock is in gulfport, florida, with the latest. >> reporter: reality is starting to set in for the tampa bay area as there's now a hurricane warning, first time since 2017 and hurricane irma, which veered at the last second. businesses are putting plywood up on windows. this is an ice cream shot trying to inject some levity, "no ice cream for ian." sandbags are on the ground to prevent flooding. that's small potatoes in terms of mandatory evacuations. pinellas county and hillsborough county have about 2.5 million people collectively. the whole tampa bay area is 3.2. 75%, 08% of the people are in two counties that have mandatory evacuations. they're looking to move a million-plus people. that process started last night, 2:00 for hillsborough, 6:00 for pinellas. but you'll see the biggest chunks of people fry trying to get out today. the topography of this area, there are bays and inlets, barrier reefs, the bay on one side, the gulf on the other. the water has nowhere to go. storm surge right now certainly the biggest concern as the projections are between 5 and ten

. >>> let's go to sam brock, who is in florida. residents are boarding up. what can they do besidesing and supplies as they can? >> reporter: the immediacy is over evacuations. to give you a frame of reference, sarasota, is an hour south from where i am right now. the governor of the state, ron desantis, is talking as we speak reminding folks that this is a very, very significant storm. no matter where it makes landfall. you should be heeding the warnings from local officials about evacuating if that's what they are asking you to do. over my shoulder, you see these gentlemen are boarding up the store. this is common all up and down the strip here in gulf port. there are sandbags as well to prevent flooding. that's small potatoes compared to the evacuation orders which expanded this morning. originally, 200,000 people were told to leave. they made zone b go from voluntary to mandatory. it's closer to 400,000 people now. mandatory vacuations for a, b and c here, 750,000 people. you are talking about over a million between these two counties. they are the large

i know you got a lot to do. >>> sam brock, let's talk about what you're seeing down in florida.s being called catastrophic. the images are startling, really, imagining what these folks have really lost there, right, and we're also learning about 200 or so rescues have been made in the aftermath of this storm. talk us through what you're seeing and hearing on the ground. >> reporter: devastation doesn't even do it justice. there's not really a word in the english dictionary or language to describe what you're actually seeing on the ground. a second ago, we had that report from kathy in south carolina where you see these huge boats over here shoulder. what you're looking at right now, that's fort myers beach. one man described it as a mom -- bomb being detonated. that's what sitting in the streets right now. of all the areas that have been devastated, this is the epicenter and this led to all sorts of situations. you mention the rescues, a couple hundred here, that's out of 700 total. close to a third of all the rescues so far have been where i am. the other issue we're really tra

sam brock has the details. >> reporter: a former military contractor known as fat leonard on the run for weeks after ripping off his gps ankle bracelet was recaptured in venezuela authorities say. leonard glen frances pleaded guilty in 2015 to a sprawling corruption scandal involving senior naval officers, the largest in naval history and set to be sentenced but he slipped away from his tony san diego home weeks ago >> the navy is embarrassed in the extreme. so is the u.s. marshall service. with somebody cutting off an ankle bracelet and disappearing. that was an incredibly well-planned, organized, escape. >> an alert was activated indicating leonard's bracelet was tampered with on septemberer 4th. san diego police went to his home. >> trying to knock on the front door and no zblons all they found was the bracelet no leonard the u.s. government sting a $40,000 reward for information leading to his arrest. neighbors told u.s. marshals that several u-haul trucks had been in and out of the house all week. >> there were people moving things in and out but shadows, i saw them like from th

msnbc correspondent sam brock joins us live from gulf port, florida, sam, what are you hearing from locale? >> reporter: they're urging people to leave as soon as possible. we're in a hurricane warning. right now, first time since 2017 reality is starting to set in. this is a powerful visual right here. many businesses putting up plywood to block the windows. sandbags on the ground to prevent flooding. the focus is on mass evacuations. hundreds of thousands of people being asked to leave their homes as hurricane ian is inching ever so closely to this region of 3 million people. this morning florida is rushing residents out of a possible disaster zone. hurricane ian has grown so large so fast, the storm which is nearly 500 miles wide can be seen from space. the fear it could hit florida this week as a major hurricane. >> even if it's off the coast of having really historic storm surge and flooding is very very real. >> around a half dozen counties on florida's gulf coast issuing mandatory evacuations, many starting today. prompting bumper to bumper traffic on many highways. >> please be pa

. >> i want to bring in sam brock in venice. it's in recovery mode. w that the signal is not an easy thing to get. we're going to try to have this conversation. try to deal with mother nature and the difficulties that it creates when the signals are just super saturated as well. where are you and what are you seeing? >> i will apologize ahead of time if i start to break up. it's very challenging in the aftermath. >> sam, with deep regrets, i am just going to have to ask that we reestablish, try to reestablish communication. one of the things we were just commenting with the extraordinary technical folks here at msnbc is that the cell signals have been just super saturated. some of the cell towers went down. especially in areas like lee county and charlotte county. they have lost completely communication completely from those areas off grid. so reestablishing cell signal and what sam was using to get to us is essentially a big cell signal. it's just almost impossible. up next, we'll get the latest on the path of tropical storm ian, which could turn back

so much to you and joining us now is sam brock in tampa where residents are preparing for ian's arrival. they are getting ready, taking this seriously. they ought to. >> they most certainly should. and the reality now is that the seriousness, the gravity of what we're looking at now has escalated just this morning as the track has inched closer now to tampa. 30 miles one way or the other makes a massive difference. 120 mile an hour versus 60 mile an hour is a massive difference. we know this, andrea. as of this morning, hillsboro county announced mandatory evacuations for their zone a. i know we have a picture of this map. it's all of the red on that map. zone a mandatory. b, which is some of the lighter colors also under a voluntary evacuation. collectively, 300,000 people just in that one area. to the north in hernando, voluntary evacuations. pinellas, right on the coast, areas like st. petersburg, they are carefully watching this situation. you would have to imagine the nearly million people in that county maybe looking at evacuations as soon as tonight depending upon the trajectory.

sam brock is in tampa, florida, and metrologist bill karins has a look at what we can expect. first to you, sam. i understand a mandatory evacuation is being called for the county where you are. what can you tell us? >> reporter: the threat is starting to feel a whole lot more real. right now for residents of this county in tampa, we're in tampa, hillsboro county is 1.5 million people. we found out that mandatory evacuations have been issued for portions of the county, zones "a," mandatory, zone "b" is voluntary right now. that's a pretty big chunk of residents generally along the coastline. there you go. all of that red, that's mandatory evacuations. i'm told from officials here that there are 26 miles of coastline just in tampa alone. the advice from hillsboro county, they're telling folks to move 25 miles inland. one of the fascinating aspects about all of this, i spoke with the mayor of tampa and they were taking a wait-and-see approach knowing that ian is going to be interacting with cuba and perhaps we would get more information about what its track might be. but they're
