delivering to the people that need it. our house is in worse shape than the house that needs the tarps. what are you going to do? survive like everybody else. we re going to keep going. beyond that, what we re seeing, shepard, rows and rows of power trucks coming up 75, 98. what we saw yesterday with the power trucks is they were burdened with clearing the debris out of the way before they got to work on the power lines. governor scott has changed that. he s established what he called push teams through the department of transportation. they re advancing the team and letting the power crew dos what they re doing and that is speeding them up, shep. shepard: mike tobin in callaway. thank you. the markets did a turn around today. did you see? bouncing back a bit after two straight big days of losses. on wednesday, the dow dropped
right side of this issue. i can see why the state department is saying let s tap the brakes here. but a lot at stake here and we will keep on it. thank you, chris stirewalt. you bet. another fox news alert with the death toll up to 13 from hurricane michael with authorities warning that it could go higher. crews are working their way through the rubble right now. the storm off the atlantic coast leaving behind horrible trail of destruction from florida through virginia. griff jenkins is in tallahassee, florida. griff, how is it looking today? well, dana, here in tallahassee, they re in recovery mode. the power trucks are out, chainsaws are running and the sun is out. that s not the case on the coast where they re in rescue search mode. looking for anyone alive. i was down in a helicopter late yesterday afternoon over mexico beach. look at the video that we shot. it s unbelievable. what is normally pristine white
against senator bill nelson. his handling of the hurricane, is that going to help or hurt him at the polls? or do we know? i think it s going to help himdramatically. governor rick scott went from one of the most hated individuals in florida politics, everybody hated this guy except for the tea party back when he ran in 2010, i think it was, and then irma happened. when irma took place, he got ahead of it. he issued a state of emergency for the entire state. he put himself into a position where he showed leadership. he showed action. he had the whole shots of him wearing his navy cap, of power trucks driving here and there, and it really did show that he had and was a leader and therefore you saw a dynamic shot up in the polls to 68% favorability, and if it wasn t for irma, scott would have no chance against bill nelson. the hurricane scott is seeing this as a gift. hall htallahassee mayor andr gillum, he s up by five in the
help. i have seen help come through and see the power trucks coming through. i have seen flatbeds with generators and the national guard and seen different agencies from all over. a lot from louisiana. i saw samaritans first. in their particular neighborhood where all but one home was significantly damaged or completely destroyed. i haven t seen them go back yet. the good news is there was only one injury. that was incredible. they are hurting and don t have water or food at this point. everything they own has been destroyed. a lot of these people don t have anywhere to go, wolf. that s the situation we are seeing in parts of panama city right now. it being loolooks awful. they don t know what they will do for the next couple of days or couple of weeks. i take it hundreds of thousands of customers don t have power. no electricity. that s going to be the case for a while.
bodies the way i did in katrina. i will tell you, there are a lot of people out here helping. we have seen convoys with convoys from mississippi and the national guard is here. there are power trucks and flatbeds of generators coming through. cell phone service is still spotty. i could only get service on one carrier. we have been letting people use our phones to let people know they are alive. they know people are worried about them. they don t have power and are not expecting to get power for quite sometime. people who work in the trailer park said all they want is food, some water, and if somebody can try to remove this with chain saws other they plan on staying. we don t have anything else. we don t have the money to go anywhere. we don t have the means to go anywhere else. at least for the next few days, stick around in those homes or what s left of them and hope
