Going to be different . And so the difference between what theyre used to and what this will be, as a way to, hopefully, give them more encouragement to know that they need to get out . Thank you, Madam Vice President. Yes, we are emphasizing the Size And Intensity of the storm and the direction at which its approaching which is unusual and really raises that Storm Surge Risk for the West Coast of florida. We typically see hurricanes approach the West Coast of florida from the South Or Southeast parallel to the coast. This track, more perpendicular to the coast raises the Storm Surge Risk. And the size of the storm is going to produce hazardous impacts across much of the peninsula. So, weve been hitting the surge risks on both coasts, and flooding and tornadoes, trying to emphasize the Scale And Breadth of the threat which is somewhat unusual for milton. Thank you. Thank you for your good work. Mike, one more question yes, sir. For people listening, what is the width from the state of
Thank you so much for letting us into your homes during these extraordinary times. Were grateful. Please stay safe. The beat with Ari Melber starts right now. Hi, ari. Hi nicolle. Welcome to The Beat. Warning against maga disinformation. Both candidates have been speaking out. We have more on the intersection of this humanitarian damager and the campaigns later this hour. While the latest reports indicate this volatile category 3 will double in size and make landfall in florida within hours. Experts caution it could end up being the worst such Weather Event in possibly a generation. I can give you a couple of factoids before we bring in our experts. Sustained Wind Speeds up to 130 miles per hour, projected 15foot Storm Surges in the worse spots, a foot and a half of rain in the densely populated Tampa Area is expected.

Hi there, everyone. Its 4 00 in New York. At this hour, millions of people along Floridas Gulf Coast are bracing for one of the most powerful hurricanes ever recorded in The Atlantic basin. The outer bands of Hurricane Milton are already hitting parts of the state. It is forecast to make landfall some time tonight between 10 00 p. M. Eastern and 2 00 a. M. And is expected to double in size before making landfall. This is the scene right now in ft. Myers, florida, being battered by high winds and rain. The top concern for officials at this moment is making sure that residents get to safety. The window for evacuating is now rapidly closing. Even as the storm is already complicating those efforts. This video shows a tornado touching down near i75 in south florida, thats hundreds of miles from Hurricane Miltons core. Just a few hours ago, president Joe Biden called Hurricane Milton, quote, the storm of the century. And made a plea to people in the Storms Path to please evacuate. First, man

And that feeling of what they think happened can matter more in the evolution of the conflict and in terms of how the story is told and retold and told again and then, it becomes history. And the efforts of the people within these stories to influence how the media helps shape those perceptions, they must ve changed the way that they try and influence how you and many others cover the stories? they have many more tools now. Before, it was simply face to face. Then, we went thr
I apologize, this is just horrific. The terrible and entirely predictable hurricane milton. This is a very dangerous storm in terms of its strength and size as it approaches landfall. Tonight as another monster storm heads to florida powered by extreme temperatures in the gulf and as millions across the south dig out from last week s devastating hurricane, a reminder of what trump thinks about climate change. We will add a little bit more beachfront property. That s not the worst thing in the world. And the life or death stakes in this election. Then day donald trump prefers to run on problems instead of fixing problems. A kamala harris media blitz with 28 days left to go. And senator sherrod brown on his must win race in ohio when all in starts now. Good evening from new york, i am chris hayes. Hurricane milton is expected to make landfall in florida early thursday morning. At this hour the storm is back to category 5 strength. The national hurricane center advises, quote, florida res
