storm surge, 30 to 40 foot waves on top of that. that s also, we ll have the rain. some areas 15, 20 inches of rain. as the storm pulls toward the west, moves in toward the southern bahamas, throughout the day tomorrow into tomorrow night. then we expect this right hand turn. we have hurricane watches in effect anywhere in south florida. about 16 million people here under this hurricane watch a lot of people. think about the cat 4 hurricane we had of harvey moving onshore a couple of weeks ago, went into an area where there wasn t a lot of people. the rain in houston is what caused the problems. this one we will likely have a landfall in south florida, cat 4, maybe cat 5 hurricane and the implications are going to be huge. it will continue as well to move over very warm water, some of the warmest water it will have traversed over. temperatures pushing 90 degrees. the fuel is absolutely there for this. the track of the storm continues to push up west, then right-hand turn on the day on
