migrants took off in a stolen bucket truck before they were caught. dave ford is in eagle pass, texas. how did the chase end? hey, john. 11 of 15 migrants were apprehended but four got away. unfortunately this is the norm in the border communities. the small town where you saw that chase play out, a town of well under a thousand people, the police chief tells me they re averaging a chase every single day, but certainly not all of them are in stolen bucket trucks. look at the video. migrants led police on a chase of two miles when they take a right-hand turn, go off the road, into the woods. police following not a high speed chase, but as the truck comes to the stop, you see the four migrants that got away jump off the bucket truck, they go into the surrounding brush, but the agent responding comes out with weapons drawn and they apprehend the 11
lessening from those who lost power. 95% of the two hard hit counties lost power during the storm. today 55% have no power still, a big improvement. 40,000 utility crews and bucket trucks are basically working around the clock down here, and also the florida power and light, the largest utility in the state, just now saying they expect all of their customers will have electricity back on friday. the state is expecting it statewide definitely by sunday. of course, those hard hit destroyed communities like the beaches on the barrier islands, they had the entire infrastructure just decimated, and so people there, the few that remained, likely won t get power back for a long time, and assume the vast majority don t feel like going back to the rubble. john: in the meantime, a bag
without power. but that number is going to drop quickly tomorrow. if i have anything to say about. it but we have teams of people really working hard on that. lots of other things. i saw so much destruction yesterday, water is a very powerful thing that could move some big objects. and cause permanent destruction. you can always replace a roof due to the wind or something that hurricane-force winds, i m not making light of wind, but i think you saw firsthand, water destruction, eight, ten feet of storm surge. horrific! commissioner, one of the issues here more so in lee county than we had in collier county, but we had some of it there. it s the failure cell signal. and phones. some of the people i was talking to on this island near us were talking about the fact that they can t get the help they needed because their phones don t work. obviously, i ve seen those bucket trucks out there fixing the power lines, in naples, it
pushing that water out of the bay. now, that water is now moving back in, and we should have somewhat of a storm surge later tonight. again, we are not necessaryingly out of the woods here in the tampa bay/st. pete area, 195,000 customers are without power. as you mentioned earlier in the show, more than a million customers are without power. there are linemen here to work, more than 33,000 of them, but they can t go up in the bucket trucks in the winds calm down. tucker, back to you. tucker: max gorden for us tonight, thank you. tucker: we ve got continuous coverage of this hurricane. you can get it, if you download the fox weather app, stream the coverage. so jackie walorski represented a state, and died in a car accident. at the time joe biden made
and for millions of floridians, they re still in the dark. you know, we have power outages all over the state and it s going to take a long time to get power restored. although governor desantis says that restoring power is going to be a top priority, around thirty three thousand utility and line workers are here in the state right now. they re weathering the worst of the storm and they re going to be deployed all over the state trying to get that power back . but it is going to take some time because these winds are still gusting in many areas and they can only raise their bucket trucks when winds are less than thirty five miles per hour. now, darkness has now fallen, of course, over florida. and many people tomorrow are going to be waking up to scenes of devastation. now for folks out there, they need to watch out for fallen trees and especially power lines in people who are running generators need to be careful with those. they need to keep their generators well away from
