just tremendous amount of energy. i will say this and i have said it again. we need to fear these hurricanes. always have the fear of god in you. they have their own entity in mind. they will rip us apart. be careful. ainsley: robert. great advice. i have been hearing we can replace our homes and cars. we can t replace our family members and loved ones. definitely listen to all of these warnings, robert. great job. we will continue to check in with you throughout the morning. don t forget to download the fox weather app. that s been extremely helpful to all of us. it was great to watch our coverage last night. watch our coverage today. because we have a completely channel devoted to weather. so, fox news channel is working with fox weather channel and we re sharing information. sharing meteorologists and reporters that are on the ground. so it s just been a wealth of information. if you want to watch this morning and see how it s affecting these families, our loved ones down in flori
into south georgia as a hurricane. we don t know how the strength is going to continue. we don t know how hard that s going to be. but they are going to get walloped moving into the south carolina area. we are continuing to stay out here and monitor this as the haymakers are being thrown by idalia. back to you. ainsley: robert when you started this morning it was up to your calf, now it s almost up to your knees. janice telling us information this morning stay with us because we want your reaction to this. janice? janice: hi, robert. so we re getting information that the eye is clearly moving on shore near fish creek. it s not confirmed by the new york city but national hurricae center. near fish creek we are getting the lowest pressure point that doesn t mean anything except that the -the lowest pressure point is now moving on shore. we will definitely get an official landfall from the new national hurricanecenter.
steve: how low is the pressure that s a good way to tell how strong the storm is. janice: that s good information i don t have that information in front of me yet. we will get that. when the national hurricane center makes their official call we will get the lowest pressure point as that eye makes its way on shore. but, remember, the strongest part of the storm, the core of hurricane force winds has already made landfall. they are already experiencing winds in excess of 100 miles per hour for a duration of time. steve: and when the eye makes landfall, it s quiet in the eye. janice: yes. steve: robert, obviously you are nowhere near the eye relatively speaking. you are on the dirty side of the storm. the wind is pummeling the palm trees there and the water is rising. we should point out, you mentioned a parking structure. any time we take pictures of a hurricane, we try to keep you guys out in the weather but as safe as possible. so, sometimes you are in the shadow of a great
little bit. you start to see some of the 35u78 trees coming apart and some of the debris starting to wash through. yeah, we are being very careful. i m probably 15 feet from the ability to cut into that garage and out of this if i have to. the winds have calmed a little bit since i have been speaking, believe it or not, and the rain just down a notch. but this is what we re going to see. as the imminent landfall, again, in the next hour or less, this hurricane will make landfall in the big bend as a major cat 4. ainsley: robert, be careful you don t know what is underneath the water when you are walking. i heard pam bondi say on fox & friends first she was hearing reports of big dumpsters barreling down streets because the wind was so bad. so just be careful. we will. for sure. head on a swivel. steve: there you go. you got your cameraman looking out for you. ainsley: thanks for showing us what it looks like down there. steve: he is in clearwater.
definitely pray for everyone affected by this, at least 70 people confirmed the dead in after the monstrous tornado tore a 200-mile path of destruction through the state. it was some 70 miles northeast of mayfield s dawson springs kentucky where box whether multimedia journalist robert ray is standing by live. robert, i can see there s just destruction all around you. reporter: good afternoon. it s undeniable, 360 degrees destruction here in this little town. i m sandwiched between two neighborhoods. you see the trees behind me totally destroyed. those were the woods and then there s a neighborhood behind the camera and another neighborhood there. now, where i m standing in the woods that separate the two neighborhoods is just a debris. people s pillowcases right here. you see the vehicle completely destroyed behind me. there are ladders,
