My colleague News/phil-mccann'>Phil Mccann has been speaking to people who have heeded there warnings and some who just want to stay in their homes. So right now on seven News. Florida is bracing for News/hurricane-milton'>Hurricane Milton this morning.

Time is Running Out before the storm makes landfall. | florida has been warned, and people living there have been preparing and leaving in the states biggest News/evacuation-effort'>Evacuation Effort in years, ahead of what forecasters say could be the worst storm to hit in a century. Its been pretty, pretty crazy. Even people that are from tampa and are from florida have told me that this is not normal. Really anxious. We have two young kids. Its scary. Sirens. Parts of the state are now eerily quiet, apart from the warning sirens. This time, even some of the most News/hurricane-hardened-residents'>Hurricane Hardened Residents have heeded the orders to leave. Theres a lot of locals, people that have lived in tampa throughout their entire lives, and they usually stay during hurricane season. Theyll tough it out.

Milton has already brushed past mexicos yucatan peninsula, where theres been coastal News/flooding-and-power'>Flooding And Power outages, but the damage has been described as minor.

More than 200 people were killed. We always tell folks to run from the water, hide from the wind. You can really shelter from very strong News/hurricane-force'>Hurricane Force winds, but you cant really shelter from water. And thats why its imperative people either evacuate vertically or inland or ideally both. And i think that might be it for this week. It isntjust homes that have been evacuated. Tourist attractions in the News/sunshine-state'>Sunshine State have been taking precautions, too. Airports have been closed, but time to prepare is Running Out. Phil mccann, bbc News. As we heard, the time to prepare is Running Out. Officials here are calling this the 11th hour. Two points made in that report that are imported to highlight. Officials are really worried about that News/storm-surge'>Storm Surge. Up to around 15 feet, four metres. Thats around 2. 5 times my size. If you think of the News/ocean-water'>Ocean Water pushing into those areas, low lying areas, and people have homes along the coast, that can be absolutely catastrophic.

And then also precipitation come up to around 18 inches of rain expected in some areas and that can create flash flooding. Thats also water thats incredibly difficult for people trying to drive out of the area, to escape as well. Officials are really warning people to be prepared.

As we saw yesterday there are a large chunk of people who did make their way out, more than other storms, because how serious this is. We saw the recent update here. It has slowed down the touch, but still 145 mph and is moving north east at 17 miles an hour. It should hit sometime overnight here on the News/west-coast'>West Coast of florida. There is a large number of people very concerned, even the ones that are not still in the bay area, Friends And Family of people who have left the area already understanding the severity of the storm.

There are three bridges connecting News/saint-pete'>Saint Pete and temper and those are still open as of now. When they start closing and we start hearing that and it should happen in the next couple of Hours, thats when if you havent already left then its probably already left then its probably a good idea to stay where you are at because you will start to see a lot more of the inclement weather forming, some of the outer bands along the far News/west-coast'>West Coast of floriDa So it is very concerning. If you havent left and you are still planning to then your time is Running Out. We planning to then your time is Running Out planning to then your time is Running Out.

Completely different. Thats the thing, we had a meeting with our News/operation-storm-watch'>Operation Storm Watch crew yesterday. The discussion we were having, and we talk about veterans who have been covering storms for the better part of the last two decades. The common consensus from All Of Us is that this is unlike any other storms we have covered. I have been doing this for ten years now and it is a different level, it really is. You can hear it in the voices of people calling in, you see it on social media, even the most staunch, i am going to stay no matter what, those people are hitting the hills. I saw a local couple who have been married and lived here 39 years, they have never left for a storm but they have left for this one, heading up to north florida. Unfortunately this will be one of the most memorable experiences and events we have had in our lifetimes. Lets hope its not as bad as we think it could be. So interesting to hear. A final thought, because you were mentioning the Wind Speeds, the News/storm-surge'>Storm Surge is causing so much concern. This is likely to trigger tornadoes as well. You have the added difficulty this time around for all of you in florida, the Debris Left by helene, there is a huge risk of that being whipped up to cause damage and death. Damage and death. Yeah. And luckily what damage and death. Yeah. And luckily what we damage and death. Yeah. And luckily what we have damage and death. Yeah. And luckily what we have seen damage and death. Yeah. And luckily what we have seen in l luckily what we have seen in the last two days, a tonne of Dumpster Trucks being guided in News/ljy-dumpster'>Ljy Dumpster trucks being guided in by the local police officials, trying to get some of that debris off everybody who lost all the things they lost in helene just two weeks ago. I spoke yesterday about being at the house of a friend of mine who has lost everything. And instead of continuing to build on to the house and continuing to get it back to normal, they told them to stop, dont, because something else is coming and it could be a lot worse. We have always wondered what would i direct hit to look like for News/tampa-bay'>Tampa Bay and unfortunately we may find that out in the next 24 Hours. Thanks for talking to me again. Hopefully we will speak again tomorrow when we see how and where the hit has happened and the consequences. Thanks for joining us once again on the programme. We can continue with this and go to orlando. Thanks for being on the programme. You are in orlando, a little further inland. What are you planning to do and what are yourfriends and planning to do and what are your friends and neighbours around you planning to do . We are seeing around you planning to do .

It does also feel like it has been quite rushed to everything ready and prepared so that we are is based as we can be for this storm. We have spent the last couple of days, like many families, collecting sandbags and placing them around the property and stocking up on food, water and medical supplies so we are as prepared as possible.

In terms of things we bought, we have stocked up on nonperishable food and we are more or less certain to lose power so we anticipate that and have stocked up on food that we can continue to eat even without refrigeration or any ability to cook it. We have stocked up on batteries, flashlights, medicine as much as we can, that will allow us to ride it out. Hopefully its a few days before services can be restored here.

Lets turn to the other developing story we have seen over the last hour or so. There has been a shock in the race to be the New leader of the Conservative Party here in uk. The former foreign and the Conservative Party here in uk. The News/formerforeign-and-home'>Formerforeign And Home secretary James Cleverly has been knocked out in the final Secret Vote by Tory Mps. He came last with 37 votes, beaten by News/kemi-badenoch'>Kemi Badenoch, who got 42, and robertjenrick was one vote on 41. The two candidates widely viewed as being the most from the right of the party will go head to head. The winner is decided on a vote amongst Conservative Party members with the final result on november the 2nd. Thats what has happened in this vote, robertjenrick, who reached the final stage after we had from mps today, has been speaking to our correspondent ben wright. Im so pleased that my colleagues here in parliament have put their faith colleagues here in parliament have Put Theirfaith in me to now go forward to the members vote. My message is one of change, change our News/party-knotted-platitudes'>Party Knotted Platitudes but policies was that we will address the big challenges facing our country, on the nhs, on the economy and immigration. So that we can meet the moment and ensure we are serious, professional leadership for the country to bring back the News/trust-and-support'>Trust And Support of the british public. You have really only talked about one issue in the campaign, immigration. There was the policy campaign, immigration. There was the policy to campaign, immigration. There was the policy to deport campaign, immigration. There. Was the policy to deport Asylum Seekers to rwanda. Why do you think even being tougher and more right wing on immigration is the route to recovery for your party . Is the route to recovery for your party . This isnt about left or right, your party .

On all these issues i want us to be the party delivering professional, competent leadership for the News/country-and-change'>Country And Change for our party so we can regain the News/trust-and-confidence'>Trust And Confidence of the british public.

There are a number of good candidates and i look i of good candidates and i look forward to going up against News/kemi-badenoch'>Kemi Badenoch. What i offer in the News/leadership-election'>Leadership Election is policies and not platitudes. Throughout the campaign i set out a clear vision for the party, how we can restore the party, how we can restore the party and deliver for the british people again. Its about serious policies to meet serious challenges the country faces across all the issues, not going down Rabbit Holes but focusing on the things the public care about the most, the economy, the nhs and our borders. Economy, the nhs and our borders borders. That was News/robert-jenrick'>Robert Jenrick borders. That was News/robert-jenrick'>Robert Jenrick. We borders. That was News/robert-jenrick'>Robert Jenrick.

We can go back live to westminster and join ben wright. That was the vote and it sure was a turn up. It sure was a turn up. There are some it sure was a turn up. There are some mps it sure was a turn up. There are some mps wandering i it sure was a turn up. There i are some mps wandering around here a bit days to trying to understand what has happened and the shenanigans that might have been going on behind the scenes, it has been suggested to me that maybe the vote forJames Cleverly yesterday was inflated to show that he had more support than he really did buy other campaigns. Also perhaps there was some News/vote-lending-today'>Vote Lending Today that went awry. They have a reputation, conservative mps, when it comes to these folks, about not being entirely straight with various campaigns seeking their support. But this result was astonishing. Almost everybody assumed that having had yesterdays third round vote, which James Cleverly won very clearly, that he would be a shoe in to get into the final but yet he was knocked out. But the margins between them are also narrow. To remind you, News/kemi-badenoch'>Kemi Badenoch led the final News/round-poll'>Round Poll with 42, then News/robert-jenrick'>Robert Jenrick and James Convie knocked out on 37. Neither of the two that are now going through to the final ballot can say they have the clear overwhelming support of the parliamentary tory party. That might not matter but thats the choice the tory members now have. I choice the tory members now have. , ,. , choice the tory members now have. , have. I suppose there was somebody have. I suppose there was somebody of have. I suppose there was somebody of thought i have. I suppose there was News/l-somebody'>L Somebody of thought saying have. I suppose there was i somebody of thought saying the party would throw the choice for members from either wing of the party but that doesnt look like it from the wrist result. Now the party members have those two to choose from, what do you think is likely to be the decisive issue is now as they try to decide between those two . They try to decide between those two . , �. , those two . Youre right, that was the assumption, those two . Youre right, that| was the assumption, because thatis was the assumption, because that is often how these contests go in the past, right back to 2001 when News/iain-duncan-smith'>Iain Duncan Smith was against ken clarke. I hope i have got that right factory tends to be an assumption that a candidate from The Centre will go through to the membership, and a candidate from the right. The campaigns hate these labels but i think they are useful. We have two candidates from the right of the party who are in the final round of this contest and there could be some of the One Nation centrist Tory Mps who will be pretty hacked off about it, frankly, and think James Cleverly should have made it, if not tom tugendhat, although he was clearly struggling as the week started. Ben News/wright-investments'>Wright Investments to, we will speak again and get more reaction in the next hour. Lets close this half hour, we will bring you the latest from florida coming up on the programme. We have a variety of live pictures coming in, a variety of guests to bring you a sense of what is happening on the ground with News/5-million'>5 Million people told to leave those critical areas. This category four storm still heading in.
