janice: that s true. we will keep a watch over those islands, too. heather: alabama under a state of emergency right now as tropical depression irma moves north. todd: deadly storm bringing strong wind and rain a day after battering south carolina and georgia. heather: jeff flock heading down i-75 towards naples, florida right now and he joins us with more. hi, jeff. heather, literally on the road to recovery this morning. i-75 out the window. that s a publix truck. supplies headed back. in power crews headed back. in all down i-75 on the west coast to florida. but as you report, i will tell you, this thing is so enormous. it s still going to the north in south carolina. charleston, for example, floods still happening. i mean, we are trying to be on the road to recovery down here in florida. but, in charleston, still flooding. you know, in isla palms. there was a tornadoes that touched down.
your area gotten out? you know, a lot of people have evacuated, but many people anticipated that the florida the storm was going to make an east coast florida hit, and they evacuated up to the northwest area of florida, and now those people are finding themselves in the path of the storm and trying to make that decision about whether they want to come back to the east side of the state where it doesn t appear it s going to hit as hard. mike: do you worry about people thinking it is safe now as the storm may shift to the west? i do. i absolutely worry about people trying to make that last minute decision about if they re going to move back to the east coast of florida. one of the things that i saw in my travels today that was really there were very few people out there on the highways moving the way they were in the past couple days. almost entirely on the highways it was tree-trimming trucks, power trucks, linemen that are all coming down from the north in convoys, en masse x.
