to see and proud of florida right now. mike: that doesn t mean folks in broward county should let their guard down, right? no, not at all. this thing first of all, these things can wobble and change at the last second as we all know. secondly the back part of the storm, the dirty part of the storm as they call it, significant winds, high rain, people need to take it seriously. it looks like broward and east coast dodged the bullet for sure in avoiding a direct hit but that s not any reason not to continue to stay hunkered down, stay indoors, we have the cur curfew in place for a reason. mike: how worried about you about irma? we are very concerned, monster storm, bigger, stronger than hurricane andrew was. thankfully it s avoided a route in the middle of the state but it looks like it s going to hit
able to access southwest florida or southern florida, you know, it s going to take some time before search and rescue crews can get into those in monroe county and some of those portions of florida, we are asking people to get out if you still can. julie: and there s still time. brunt is not suppose today hit until tomorrow morning and there are areas that have been told, if you don t evacuate. if the winds exceed 45 miles per hour, emergency crews are not going to come get you, this thing can blow through 36 hours, 36 hours being stranded somewhere with no help. i want to talk about you about the destructive potential of historic po portions that we are facing, without alarming authority at the same time we need to talk about reality here. okay, so irma, in fact, according to experts have told me will have hurricane charlie s winds potential, plus hurricane katrina s surge potential from 2005, nothing like the state of florida has ever seen before, do people truly understand the
magnitude of this storm there? unfortunately i don t believe all citizens understand the magnitude of what s about to happen. allows in warm water as forecast predicting will gain intensity and continue up to west coast and through the states. this is a different angle of attack. this storm is moving from south to north from the state. charlie came from a different angle, closer to port charlotte. basically monroe keys to tampa bay and around the panhandle in florida. julie: right. let s talk about the damage. it goes up.
