Adam housley has more. How is it looking in. The estimation of one in four homes, that doesnt count smaller damage. A lot of businesses have problems here like the gas station where the pumps are bent, the sign is down. You have the smaller price tags to the bigger price tag, it will be significant in florida to clean this up, not to mention the possibility of casualties out there. We had a chance to be at the bridge on the north part of key largo at 7 20 a. M. They opened the bridge and let locals back in for the first time. Along with locals came a plethora of folks coming in here to help, too. All sorts of companies coming from as for as wisconsin to help replace the power lines here, for example. Tree services. One after the other. Gas companies all coming to try to help people recover here and get back online. We had a chance to drive down to about mile marker high 40s or so, just outside of marathon, florida. Thats as far as you can go. They shut the road down there at that point. Further south, theres major problems in cudjoe key as well as summerland key. They dont want anybody to go further. Its frustrating for those trying to get in there and see how their homes fared in marathon and areas south. Youre seeing major fema response here, federal response, state response. The caravans are one after the other. It slowed down a little bit tonight here on the state highway which runs south u. S. 1. It was for about five or six hours, it was the right lane is where the locals drive and the left lane is where the caravan drove. To my left, you see someone come right now. See the caravans coming. Basically at this hour locals because were getting close to night fall, but the people have been showing up, neil. The helicopters were seeing in the air as well as the air operations have begun. Still a lot of concern about the southern keys. Theyre checking for Road Conditions down there to see if its still safe for everybody to return. Other areas where theyre doing search and rescue operations possibility for casualties. The communications are down. We were down there trying to use the satellite phone. Its a difficult place to operate. Thats why theyre bringing in infrastructure to get the services in there before they let people back to the lower part of the keys, neil. Neil to your point, hard to say whats going on. Adam housley in key largo. Islamorada is letting people back in. The major encouraging folks for the most part to stay away. He joins us on the phone. Mayor, how are things looking there . The sun is shining. Weve had some power stored on the bay side of the island. A main transmission line. As long as you didnt lose your connection, youre up and running. My house has gone hot now, which is good. I get to cool down. A handful of properties on the upper part of islamorada on the bay side is pretty well fired up electrically. The coop has been on it. Just incredible crews. So cleaning stuff up, getting trees off lines. Very fortunate that we didnt lose the transmission line that said, we would have lost lots of neighborhood lines, particularly the ocean side of the island. Neil im noticing, depending where you are, as the water retreats, you get the full sense of the damage. We have some pictures coming into our newsroom now and viewers at home can see. What is your assessment of how badly this hit and how much it hurt your town . I suspect that its the second worst hurricanes been through in my life. I went through donna and betsy. Our friends to the south in marathon, cudjoe, big pine, took the brunt of it. That said, the ocean side of the city of islamorada destroyed like flooding through homes. Almost every home on the ocean that is not built up to current code has taken on lots of water. As far inland as a 1 4 mile. Some of tolder homes built in the 50s and 60s. So theres a lot more damage than it appeared to be. The crews have cleaned the roads up. But as you get in the air, you go oh, boy. We have problems. Some friends of mine, probably 1,000 feet off the ocean, he has four feet of water in the house. I imagine everybody wanting to return home, thats unrealistic, right . You know, im trying to tell everybody, unless you have to be here for some reason i understand the dilemma that people face. Their homes have water it in. Theyre looking at mold damage. The reality is with the infrastructure still not really even semi restored, its nice that some of us have electricity. But remember we have sewer systems that we rely on electricity and rely on the internet communication between the different systems. And the fact that we have no internet, the fact that we have sporadic cell phone. Even cell phones have been difficult to operate at this point. You know, if you just dont have to be here, just better off to stay on the mainland, find some air conditioning. I move my here out of the house in lake placid. She lost her roof. I sent her to my daughter in palm beach because they didnt have a hotel left with air conditioning. All and all, weve been through this. We have strong building kids. What didnt make it will be built to new codes so next time they do make it. Were resilient down here. Its part of living in paradise. I hate to say it like that. You grew up here, you pick back up and get on it. Thats all you do. You dont see anybody frowning. Its all over. Its time to clean up. Neil a great attitude. We need your prayers to the south. Trust me. Its very bad. I appreciate it. Neil thank you, sir, very, much, this is getting expensive. Thats putting it mildly from harvey to irma. When it comes to taxes, is it temporary or is this something that could be permanent . Kennedy has been looking into this. This would not be the first public official the look at emergency costs recovery ideas like a tax. Rarely are those dialled back. What do you make of what is going on . It is a probability tax. Its not a gas tax on cigarettes or alcohol which often are passed on to lower income earners. The average home in houston is 225,000. The 9 tax would equal 117 increase. This storm is so expensive. The costs are going to come in fast and loose. That means that the entire reliance to cover, reconstruction in the area cant be fully placed on the federal government. Therefore, a lot of these municipalities and counties have to figure out creative ways in order to help the most vulnerable citizens rebuild. So well see if this becomes permanent. Hopefully its only a year like theyre saying. The city council was saying. Also you have to make sure, this is where citizens have to be vigilant to make sure the money only goes toward rebuilding the parts of houston that have been devastated by the storm. Neil good luck with that. If its going to be assessed on Property Value and if you and i can recall from other storms, once reassessed, theyre assessed lower because the appeal of the real estate falls south awhile. Doesnt always stay that way. Comes back. Came back a little bit in katrina. Although never back to full prekatrina levels. So im wondering even if allowing for a 9 tax hike, in the mayor got his way, with reassessments, it could be a wash. Youre right. You still have homes partially flooded. So if youre if the value of your home goes up further than 20 down, its a 9 increase, it could be a wash for the city government. Goes to show you how desperate they are to get funding as quickly as possible. Although fema has done a very good job and their digital platforms have allowed people to apply for assistance quicker, that spigot at some point will run dry when congress bumps up against the debt ceiling again soon enough. Neil kennedy, thanks very much. Kennedy on the latest efforts. Houston taking an early jump on this. They need money, they need help. You can argue how you get it. The dow, the nasdaq, the s p 500 all at records today. The dow just eeking into record territory literally by the last count of things in the last seconds there. So a lot of this built on growing optimism, things were not as bad in florida and texas collectively as some feared although pretty bad. As we pointed out, theyre a long way out of the financial woods let alone the destructive woods. The prospects for tax reform are looking better. Tonight the president of the United States will have dinner with three key republicans, three key democrats. Part of the growing team that he thinks he can get bipartisan support for what he hopes will be sweeping tax cuts. Its all in the details. Were getting hints of the details and hints about that dinner after this. You were made to move. To progress. To not just accept what you see, but imagine something new.

A dell advisor can help you choose the right products with powerful intel® core™ processors. Neil all right. Tonight a rather interesting dinner at the white house. The president hosting three republicans, three democrats. The theme will be tax cuts, tax reform. But its interesting the makeup of this particular half dozen. Doesnt our White House Correspondent kevin corke now it. What is going on here . This is not guess who is coming to dinner and the moderate democrats that you just showed are not sydney portierre. But well have to keep an eye on the readout after the dinner tonight, this is all about dinner and dialogue for a white house hoping to advance their agenda on tax reform. Clearly this is a circumstance where the white house is hoping to establish a dialogue to create the right conditions for the cooperation on tax reform. The dinner tonight, part of a multipronged approach that could include across country trek, hitting states where the president s message has had strong appeal and where democrats need to slide to the center politically on tax reform. One of the previous stops took place in north dakota. I was there alongside the president and democratic senator highly heitkamp in the peace garden state. A harbinger of things to come, including tonights dinner. The president i think has demonstrated both in his Business World and as president that he can make deals. That certainly is what hes looking to do. Hes going to work hard to make sure that we get the best deal possible on tax reform. I think that starts with things like tonight. Now, for a perspective, keep in mind that many states that we talked about in terms of this tax tour, if you want to call it that, are states where the president not only carried in 2016 but also these are states where democrats may be on the ballot in 2018. Were talking some senators here, too. So it would stand to reason he would want to take his message to pennsylvania and ohio, for example. Well see how tonights dinner turns out and well have details for you. For now, back to you. Neil thank you, kevin. Kevin mentioned the state of ohio. We have Ohio Republican senator rob portman, a key player in all of this. Senator, thanks for coming. Hey, neil. Thanks for having me on. Neil where do you think this stands . Is it closer to tax cuts or tax reform . Its got to be both. Tax relief is necessary to give the economy a shot in the arm and tax reform is needed for simplification and change in the International System so we can begin to bring the jobs and investment back here. Both are important. By the way, both are popular. The American People are tired of us just talking about it. They want us to get it done in terms of reforming the code to make it simpler, so that jobs are not leaving our country, money is coming back, but also in terms of tax cuts, particularly middle class tax cuts. Neil youre pretty conservative when it comes to the tax cuts and the math and you want to make sure theyre paid for. Some people call that revenue neutral. Some real diehards say that by definition minimizes the bang for the buck you would get and the tax cuts that as senator portman would want will be less than what others in your party want. Where do you stand on that . I talked about this before. Theres a way to do this pro growth and has some tax cuts compared to the current code and doesnt blow a hole in the deficit. You have to have this revenue neutral discipline in place. You say one, that youre going to assume the baseline for how much taxes come into the government is realistic. By that you keep in place the socalled extenders, particularly the bonus to appreciation. That gives you 450 billion more of tax cuts compared to how the static score would be or the current system. So thats one to get tax cuts. The second is, look at the tax reform proposal. You say what does this mean in terms of peoples behavior . Lets take for example if you reduce the taxes on businesses for the things that they buy. Depreciation. If you give them a faster write off. What will that mean . That will mean theres more economic growth. So that needs to be taken into account that will result in more revenue that is called neil but if you anticipate with that dynamic type of accounting, youre anticipating that and tag a number to it. Is it your sense that the tax cuts were looking at, lets say for corporations, should be 15 . The administration seems to be hinting bring the corporate rate down to that. Others argue thats unrealistic. Paul ryan is on 22, 22. 5 . What do you think is a realistic expectation for a Corporate Tax cut . In the count text that i just talked about, as low as you can. The realistic number is probably closer to 20 than 15. Paul may be right. Maybe its 22, 22. 5. Neil what about individuals . One of the things raised so maybe you leave the wealthy out of it. That might be part of the thinking the president might have in making a debt ceiling deal with nancy pelosi and Chuck Schumer that kept the government running a few more months, maybe longer and he might get democratic votes for something that doesnt include a tax cut on the wealthy . Would you be for that . Well see how it comes together on the business side. The 20 say thats as compared to 35 . So its a substantial reduction in the rate. Neil that is substantial. Would you be okay on the rich not getting a tax cut . Yeah. The key there as i saider will ier, middle class tax cuts. Not just because its the right thing to do with the economy but more popular as well. So right now, i think the biggest challenge in the economy and you and i have talked about that wages have been flat. You havent seen an increase in wage growth but you have seen an increase in expenses. Neil youd be open to that retroactive . Im not big on retroactivity period. I think it ought to be prospective. We ought to put something in place for pro growth and relief neil im sorry. Im not clear. Would you be for them being retroactive . No, im not interested. Retroactivity as a matter of principle is a tough thing. Its not fair to people. Neil rob portman from ohio. Thanks. Thank you. Neil he spelled out the broad parameters. That would include a moderate ring of the republican party, not very keen on going crazy here. Theres other super conservatives that are. The only way they make a mark is by having substantial tax cuts. Theres the difference. And then we have the backtoback hurricanes. Why the relief effort could also affect the size of those tax cuts if they come at all after this. Tais really quite simple. Est it comes in the mail, you pull out the tube and you spit in it, which is something southern girls are taught youre not supposed to do. You seal it and send it back and then you wait for your results. Its that simple. The president is prepared to push for as low of a rate as we can get. Well continue to push for that and work with congress to get the best deal possible. Based on conversations, it seems like it would be 20 . Would that possible . The president is pushing for the best deal possible. Neil were told the president could have a 15 starter rate from the 35 rate where it stands now. That is the official rate. A lot of Companies Pay lower than that. Bring it down to 15 . You heard from ohio senator portman says probably in the 20 region. Weve seen speaker ryan say it will probably be in the 22 region. Not 15 . Were not even talking about individual rates at this point. Charlie gasparino on the fallout from that. It guess it depends on what allowances are included, what is not. You dont want this to be a wash because youve wasted peoples time. The devil is in the details on this. You can take it down to 25 and keep all the deductions that corporations have already. It could be a real tax cut. If you keep the deductions. Goes from 35 to 25. You have all of the deductions, the Interest Deduction on debt. So the effective rate was down to 22 . So this is really this is a moving target. We dont know enough to really assess it. Ill tell you this. I know from covering the Hedge Fund Business and short sales and sophisticated investors, if they bring it down to 25 and they get all the loop holes, they kill all the loop holes, guess what will happen . People start selling stocks. Theyll say that is not a credit to companies and you sell the s p. Thats what im not saying it will be a huge debacle in the markets, but there will be some selling pressure. Taking it down to 25 from 35 and leaving and taking out all the deductions really doesnt lower the effective rate that much. The effective rate is 27. 1. That sticks in my head. Neil youre right. Its what will be allowed versus not allowed. We had senator portman here from ohio who is a moderate revenue neutral dont go crazy. He said when it comes to individual rates, we have to be paying for them and find some offsets here. That is a wise accounting standard to take, but also conflicts with Freedom Caucus and other types that say no, no, no, we have to go significant or might as well not have them at all. Im wondering if that is a preview coming for maybe little fights back and forth . Maybe he said were not really ready to fight the special interests and the deductions. The state and local Tax Deductions for individuals is a big one. Heres where they have already caved. This didnt get a lot of pickup. It was at the seeking out for conference put out by cnbc. Steve mnuchin said were going to get rid of the carried Interest Deduction for hedge funds. Hedge funds rarely use the carried Interest Deduction. Its used by private equity firms. Thus if you dont get rid of it for private equity firms, youre not getting rid of the loop hole. I dont think people dont realize that they just caved on this. Unless he misspoke, because i dont think he did. Theyre not fighting over deductions. If theyre going to keep the deductions in, youll have a find over neil and a ratetorate comparison. Also at the same conference, mnuchin said if were running late with this thing, correct me if im wrong, id be very eager, open to retroactive tax cuts. Whatever we come up with late in the game is retroactive. I just heard rob portman said that thats unrealistic. So where are we on this . No one knows. Theres no plan. You know, heres the thing, neil. This get detail oriented. We have to lets suppose they allow it to be retro active and they take out all the deductions for corporations. Steve schwartzman was on was a Major Economic adviser to trump. Steve schwartzman that run as big private equity firm, blackstone. They kept the other deductions and take it down to 25 and its still kind of a tax increase. Why make that retroactive . This is a moving target. Its a good story. Healthcare was tricky. I get it. Very contentious. It is healthcare. Thats peoples lives on the line. Neil absolutely. This is messing with the tax code can be just as crazy. Thanks, charlie. Mnuchin said, by the way, getting to 15 on a corporate rate, that could prove of the. That is certainly proving the case. Well know after the president s big dinner with the three republicans and three democrats. Were learning more about the damage in florida from this storm. As far north as jacksonville where flooding is the rule, not the exception. I work overtime when i can get it. I need my blood sugar to stay in control. Weekends are my time. I need an insulin that fits my schedule. Tresiba® ready announcer tresiba® is used to control high blood sugar in adults with diabetes.

Apple is betting you will for the new iphone 10. But its saying you have time to think about it, like 1 1 2 months before you can order it. After this. Hi. So i just got off the phone with our allstate agent, and i know that we have accident forgiveness. So the incredibly minor accident that i had tonight four weeks without the car. Okay, yup. Good night. With accident forgiveness your rates wont go up just because of an accident. Switching to allstate is worth it. Neil they werent kidding when they said every major city in florida felt the effects of irma. Including jacksonville. What does it look like there, rick . The st. Johns river was overwhelmed. Some of the water receded earlier today when we first arrived. When the high tide came in, some of the flood water came back. The damages include structural damage to the browns creek bridge. Apparently the engineers believe that some of the supports were compromised by the rough high waters. They closed the bridge. About 20 to 30 miles that way is Fernandina Beach and amelia island. Everybody on the other side of the bridge cant come towards us. They didnt know when the bridge will reopen. Meanwhile, browns fish camp, they were cleaning up and pulling out all the stuff that was wet and ruined. The high tide came in and they got wet again. Another area where they are not sure how long this will go on. Across the street, the owner of this house went to houston to volunteer during the aftermath of hurricane harvey. When he heard about irma, he came back to protect his home and sure enough, he got flooded. He told us about it. You heard the storm is come something. Yes. Cut our trip short there. Booked it back to jacksonville to get prepared here. Luckily i was able to get most of my belongings upstairs and all that. Just the lower level was flooded out about knee deep or more. He says this was three times as bad. Neil rick, how is the power the there . 149,000 people without power in duval county. They are making repairs. The number in duval has gone down. They were able to get the electricity back on. Thats an on going issue here with 40,000 people still in the dark. Neil thanks, rick. Now back to the florida keys where Monroe County commissioners say theres no plan for massive evacuations right now. Heath Heath Heather caruthers joins me on the phone. So you dont think massive evacuations are needed . No. Were trying to track that press release down. Nobody has called for that. In fact, we have opened up the keys this morning at the mile marker 74 for people in islamorada and key largo to come back and check their properties. Neil theyre allowed to do that. Sometimes its inacceptable. Can you update me on that . You know, the keys are connected by one twolane road, u. S. 1. U. S. 1 has been cleared all the way from the mainland to key west. Secondary roads are being cleared as we speak and literally crews are working neighborhood by neighborhood to clear those roads. So some of them may be passable, some of them may not be. I can tell you that the city of key west not only is u. S. 1 clear, all of the major roads are clear and they were making Good Progress on the secondary roads down there today. The upper keys have some spotty water pressure and occasionally they have some power. The lower keys are still without water pressure or any kind of electricity. And Cell Phone Service is in and out, although better in the upper keys. Neil how much did evacuate, commissioner . Sorry to jump on you there. We think a whole lot of people evacuated. Probably around 60,000 maybe. Yeah, a lot of people got out of town. Were pleased that they followed that guidance to do so. You know, we started talking about the severity and the size and intensity of the storm well before last weekend. We issued the evacuation orders a full 60 hours in advance. So most people took it to heard and got out. If they didnt, they sought shelter in structures that they felt were elevated and sturdy. Neil thanks, commissioner. Heather carruthers from Monroe County commission. Want to keep you updated on north korea. They got the sweeping new sanctions. The North Koreans are not happy about it but they could be a dodging a bullet because theres a key element missing. Well explain after this. Thats it . Yeah. Everybody two seconds dear sebastian, after careful consideration of your application, it is with great pleasure that we offer our congratulations on your acceptance. Through the Tuition Assistance program, every day mcdonalds helps more people go to college. Its part of our commitment to being americas best first job. With us nice to get a 150 vote. The sanctions are nothing compared to what ultimately will have to happen. Neil the president referring to the unanimous vote for stiffer sanctions on north korea. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson will be meeting with chinese officials about that. Tony shaffer has concerned. What are your biggest concerns, tony . First, these were watereddown sanctions. If you want an effect, its gone. The russians and chinese got their way. The president said its not sufficient. President trump neil in what way . Watering down. Some of the economic pains that we could cause north korea. So with that out now, we have to go to secondary things. Trump is smarter than your average bear. Hes more intuitive on how to play the chess game. You talked about china. China has to be made very clear to them that theres going to be consequences to them for the north korean bad behavior. That should include economic problems for them. That is say we depend on a lot of trade with them. We dont need it. The president can do well trying to bring back manufacturing to the United States. Neil but we didnt do that. We havent yet. I think i hes thinking about it. Neil that would be handled through the u. N. That would be us versus them. And the other thing is the iranians. Weve been talking about this the past eight months. Some of the money out of the iran deal has gone to north korea. The iranians have been outsourcing their research. This is something the u. N. Has to be looked at and worked on. So neil, we are not there yet regarding what we have to do with the u. N. But we have to look at both the economic elements of the relationships of both china and north korea and look at how we can go after the iranians. Because i think simply put, if theyre getting around the agreement we have with them on the nuclear deal by outsourcing it to north korea, i consider that a violation of the agreement. Neil do you think china can control the North Koreans . I think they have to. For two reasons. First, if anything fails, that is say the nation state of north korea fails or the great leader kim jongun does something outlandish, the chinese will suffer. The economy of china is more fragile than i think people give it credit for. Youve probably had gordon chang on before. He talked about this. They have about a twoweek supply of oil. Were not the only ones that have a bone to pick with them. The philippines and the vietnamese has to go through the south china sea. The secondary effects that the chinese should look at to get north korea under control. If they dont, theyll suffer consequences. Neil thanks, tony. Thank you. Neil on to lighter news or more i dont know monetary news. Apple has a new iphone coming out. Youll have to wait awhile. And youll have to say it because it will set you back 1,000. Ill explain after this. Marco. polo marco. polo marco. polo marco. polo marco. si . Polo marco. polo scusa . Ma io sono marco polo, ma. Marco. playing marco polo with marco polo . Surprising. Ragazzini, io sono marco polo. Si, sono qui. Whats not surprising . How much money amanda and keith saved by switching to geico. Ahhh. Polo. Marco. polo fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. Polo endless shrimp is back at red lobster. And we went all out to bring you even more incredible shrimp and new flavors. Like new Nashville Hot shrimp, drizzled with sweet amber honey, and new grilled mediterranean shrimp finished with a savory blend of green onions, tomatoes, and herbs. Feeling hungry yet . Good, cause theres plenty more where these came from. Like garlic shrimp scampi, and other classics you love. As much as you want, however you want them. But hurry, endless shrimp wont be here long. Neil all right. Apple announced new 1,000 phone today. That was just part of it. Talking about a blitzkrieg of new products that will be phased in. Hillary vaughn is live in california. How did it go there . Neil, 1,000, the new iphone x is the most expensive iphone ever. It has three gigs of ram and two more hours of charging. It has an edgetoedge display. No home button. Instead of the touch i. D. , theyre using face i. D. To give you access to your device. I got a first hand look at the iphone x moments ago. Take a look. This is apples tenth anniversary device, the iphone x. Theres no home button. They dont use touch i. D. They use face i. D. To give you access to your device. One cool future that uses this technology, its called the animojis. When you send a message to a friend, you can animate them. It moves with your mouth. Your head, you tilt it side to side. Smile. Anything you say, you can send using this emoji. This is one of the cool features that will up your text game. Two big other updates, the apple tv will be 4k compatible. Theyre bringing live sports and news to apple tv and the apple watch now has cell capability, which means you can receive calls while youre on the go. You dont have to have your iphone with you. Neil . Neil wow. I wonder why all the cell carriers were racing with this today. Thanks, hillary. Looked like a rocket ship there. Thanks, hillary. So with all of these announcements, what happens now . I dont emojis. Animating them is adding insult to injury. Thats me, old fart cavuto. Monica joins me now and more hip than i. What do you make of the emoji . I think it cant save this 1,000 iphone. Theres going to be customers for this in the same way that theres people that want to be 100,000 cars and 700 shoes. Really . An emoji that smiles at me . Unless siri is telling me i look better and thinner every day, i dont need this phone. Neil they do have a lot of products. For some people, 1,000 phone, theyll do it. Weve seen early sales figures from the new Samsung Galaxy note 8. Thats almost 1,000. People are picking that up. The numbers here, its another matter. Im wondering though, if people do spend that and on this other stuff including new seems like a dick tracy watch now is it going to rob other retailers of vital christmas sales because people are plunging so much for this stuff . Its like the people that buy luxury cars. 70 are leased. Its the same way. You add 20 every month to your phone prepaid plan. At the same token, the real issue here is that are we really that excited by this phone . Is expanding the screen and getting rid of the button really the thing that will make you shell out so much more money . What it does is really tempt competition to come out with something more innovative that is putting a target on apples back, right . So maybe you cant invent something that is innovative at 500. But at 1,000, its something to be really exciting. Neil so far they havent done that. They got a lot of run for their money with samsung and the new galaxy line. I see your point when it comes to the other stuff. It seems that apple is now should say, im not bashing or promoting apple stock. Its a Commodity Company now. Has great revenue from itunes and music sources and now movies with what they hope to do with apple tv and the rest. Im beginning to wonder if its too dependent on gadgets themselves . I know thats the lions share of what they make. Is that almost too dependent on a product that might be worth all the bells and whistles . Were looking at the tenyear anniversary of the iphone. Who thinks about the blackberry . Neil good point. Were waiting for something new. This industry is waiting for something to disrupt the market. The happy emoji that shapes your face might not be the thing that cries invention in this space. Neil its a needed addon. Thats what it comes down to. Yeah. My daughter will enjoy it. Neil but were the ones with the money, out in our kids. Theyll find a way to coerce us. Some of these items are not available until october 27. More after this. Stay with me, mr. Parker.

What can you tell us . I can tell you basic supplies are becoming a premium right now. I had intended to show you this frenzy of the gas station. They still had gas in people who walked up here with their gas cans. Pushing and shoving to get in line. There were cars at the pumps. The line of cars stretched a good quartermile as everyone is trying to hoard gasoline, make sure theyve gotten enough to keep generators running. About 15 minutes ago, they ran out of gas.
