like a freight train. we re seeing record-breaking and terrifying storm surges throughout florida and ft. myers, the water is so high pickup trucks are almost completely submerged. water levels have risen more than 6 feet in the last switch ho seven hours. let s get to tom sater in the cnn weather center. an updated forecast should come any minute now. what should we expect? it was just handed to me. forgive me for reading off. we still have a category 4 hurricane and five miles east of punta gorda. it will stay at hurricane strength through orlando. this will rake the entire peninsula. we had grove city a gust of 128. when we talk about the southern kind here, a better picture on radar will give an indication what we re looking at. here is the new track. keeps it as a 4 of course now moving inland but notice it s a category one. it will lose strength now that it s interacting with a land mass. that s typical. however, the winds have expanded now as these storms do. in fa
mornings too, but a little cloud, leapt the light slowly sleep in, cup of coffee, quiet house rachel: that sounds liken fantasy. [laughter] pete: my if wife is, like, turn the lights on. i like to keep them off. let the natural light come in, let the morning soothe in will: it s not an operating room. i don t need harsh overhead light. i hate badminton. [laughter] rachel: that looked so fun. will: i was so humbled just now. i mean, i broke mine in tennis, i i now play racquetball with friends. rachel: how is it different than racquetball? will: i don t know. first of all, i can t hit that thing. rachel: i was surprise how out of breath i was. it s this little plastic, you know, lightweight pete: it drops so quick. trajectory is different. in racquetball or tennis ball,s moving. this thing goes north/south. will: the size of the head. also that a long the distance between handle and is head is way different than any other racking debt that i ve racquet. it s closer t
rainfall. that trough is sending winds from the north at the surface. irma s winds at the surface are moving northward. where they both converge from around the tampa st. pete area to lakeland toward orlando, that conversion causes the air to rise to squeeze out much, much more in the way of rainfall. take the landfall of ian out of the equation and we ve got ourselves one to two feet of rain. rainfall rates at two to three inches an hour after hour after hour. no community can with stand that. considering how far away so many communities are at the north, we ll have 911 calls, numerous of them. you can start to see radar estimates right now over ten inches right now north of ft. myers. the worst surge is down to the south where you get to around naples. the surge we believe got as high as seven feet in naples until the monitoring equipment went dead. it s much higher than that.
from the keys up to the panhandle. i just remind people from hurricane irma, it hit southwest florida around naples, but we had massive flooding in downtown miami. so it s going to impact the entire state. we are super saturated from months of rain that have been going on here. we are going to have trees down all over the state. we re going to have local are oohized flooding all over the is state localized flooding. that s why we have all 67 counties ready for and preparing for a disaster under the state of emergency. rachel: kevin, so many people are new residents to florida because of the great leadership of governor ron desantis. how concerned are you about the fact that you re going to have this huge amount of people who have nebraska been never been through a hurricane before? i know you re getting the message out, but what other extra that things are you doing for the fact that there are some newbies? that s a great question, and i m glad you asked it and,
