all right. steve, listen. i hope that this storm gets past you sooner rather than later. it is amazing the duration of the impact we re dealing with with this muhurricane. let us know how we can help. thank you very much. we really appreciate it. it s one of the basic tensions that happens in a situation like this. people who are out of their homes want to get home. people who are stuck in their home get desperate to get out of their homes to deal with the water to get into it to see what s going on. all of those feelings are normal and all create major problems. right. we just can t emphasize it enough that people need to stay put. the time will come to be able to go home and see what the aftermath looks like but right now it is just not safe enough. be back with you momentarily bus what will we see when the sun rises this morning. how will the communities deal with the damage? by the way. this is live video. sum ter county florida.
thick of it this morning. it was brutal. and the damage that we are seeing is consistent with that of a category 1 muhurricane. tree that the have toppled into telephone wire, electrical pole the and of course we continue to show transformers lighting up the horizontal. it was quite incredible to see that sight. once they get taken down they quickly start to burst. without electricity, about three quarters of mooichl date without power. everything is dark. they re susceptible to looting to the miami dade police tweeted they had 28 arrests overnight from looting across the county. that s because there s simply no electricity, nobody in the area because they ve listened to evacuation orders.
