Im kasie hunt. Dont go anywhere cnn new central starts right now breaking overnight the mayor of new York City, Eric Adams, indicted and facing at least one federal Criminal Charge following a corruption investigation, the mayor says hes innocent, but hell now need to surrender to federal custody in a matter of days right now, florida is feeling the outer bands of helene is topicals, is tropical Storm Force winds since hit the coast there, a category one hurricane continuing to strengthen as it inches closer and with it, the potential for an unsurvivable Storm Surge where i am in tallahassee, the capital, florida bracing for the most powerful storm this city has ever seen it wont stop here millions of people over five states we are tracking it all on John Berman in tallahassee. Sara is out today. Kate bolduan with Jessica Dean in new york. This is cnn new central John Berman in florida this morning, which is bracing for Hurricane Helene, which is heading straight for this part of state, the panhandle and its a category one hurricane strengthening overnight, expecting to make landfall as a category three or stronger. And the big Bend Area of florida, the good news, not a populated area, the bad news. Once it makes landfall, it will cross paths with millions and millions of people, 85 Million people in its path from florida, georgia, the carolinas, all the way up to the virginia, to virginia. They have all declared states of emergency along the florida coast, though it is not that populated, they could see Storm Surge of nearly 20 feet. The Weather Service calls that unsurvivable Storm Surge add to that wind speeds they could reach 130 Miles Per Hour. Again, tallahassee has never had Hurricane Force winds sustained winds. We could see winds here north of 100 Miles Per Hour and the damage after it hits here, it will spread all the way up the Coast Cnn is tracking this storm. Carlos suarez and gulfport, florida, which is feeling it harder than i am right now. First, though, because Cnn Meteorologist Allison Chinchar in the Weather Center to get a sense of where it is now, where it said it, what it did overnight thats right. So where it is now, it is currently in the Gulf Of Mexico churning in those incredibly warm waters thats going to be fuel for the storm to continue to strengthen as we go through the day today, right now, it has sustained winds of 90 Miles Per Hour. Its forward movement is 12 miles to the out or 12 Miles Per Hour. North northeast at about bove Miles Per Hour. If we can push this forward, will kind of show you where were going to see that track. Its going to continue to make its way off to the North And East and as it does so, its going to strengthen as it makes its way towards the big Bend Region of florida. Youre already starting to see some of those outer bands begin to creep into florida and a lot of that Moisture Flow spreading into states like georgia georgia, and the carolinas. Now, one thing to note is when it goes through the Gulf Of Mexico, we expect further strengthening. This will get to a major hurricane at some Point Today before making Landfall Tonight near the big Bend Region, when it makes landfall, its expected to be moving and say about 25 Miles Per Hour or even faster thats very important. Born because that means as it moves inland, it can do so very quickly and not weaken that fast. So we expect hurricane strength, storm to make it all the way into macon, georgia, a town that is more than 100 miles away from the coastline. Other cities like atlanta, greenville, spartanburg, and asheville also likely to see impacts from this, even though they they are hundreds of miles away from the coast, those winds will continue to spread. Cities like macon, atlanta, columbia, youre looking at some of those Wind Gusts that could be 60 to 80 Miles Per Hour before that system. Finally takes off. Now another component of this, yes, we are certainly talking about the Storm Surge pretty much up and down the entire western peninsula of florida. You are looking being at some type of Storm Surge, but the peak for that is really going to be a been around the big Bend Region where we could see as much as 15 to 20 feet yeah the Weather Service called that unsurvivable 20 feet of Storm Surge is just one of the many threats coming from Hurricane Helene allison. Thank you very much. Well get back to you. I want to go to Carlos Suarez in gulfport because alissas as allison said, some of the outer bands are already hitting florida and some of the surge already pushing in carlos, what are you . See thats exactly right, john. Good morning. So we are in gulfport, florida. That is in Pinellas County. Were already were starting to see some flooding associated with the storm. Now a good part of this is the fact that were in high tide at this hour. But some of that rain that has moved in his clearly started to make a bit of a mess out here. This area in Pinellas County is known to flood. We have been here the last two years covering two other hurricanes. And this is a prime location for some of the flooding to take place we are in a mandatory Evacuation Zone at that order went out yesterday folks that live in this part of Pinellas County county were told to get to higher ground over in Hillsborough County in the tampa area, a mandatory evacuation is underway for some parts of the city. Along the base side. And then if you if you head further north, of course, those parts of florida have already been proposed praying for all of whats to come here in perry, florida, which is about threeandahalf Hours North of where we are all preparations got underway there yesterday with folks getting their homes and their businesses boarded up and getting ready for yet another impact of a hurricane of the folks in perry, florida are still recovering from hurricane idalia, Which Made Landfall Last year and flooded hundreds of homes. There. And then up in Tallahassee And Leon county area, that part of florida panhandle, their Status Emergency officials really are telling folks across the state of florida to please take this storm serious as you guys have been discussing, the sheer size of this is just so great that it really doesnt matter where you live in florida, you are going to see some sort of impact associated with this storm. If you live not just in florida, but as you mentioned, up in georgia as well, here now is Governor Desantis Yesterday kind of striking that same tone the impacts are going to be far beyond the eye of the storm. Youre looking at winds that are stretching 200 plus miles away from the eye of the storm. So that entire Gulf Coast of florida even places like charlotte and sarasota, of course, the tampa bay area, and then up along the Nature Coast in the Big Bend expect to see a surge if the storm continues on the path that it is on and to the west of us, about 100 miles west of where we are. Were still expecting anywhere between five to eight feet of a Storm Surge. So you can imagine everything here behind me is only going to get a little bit more worse. John yeah, five to eight feet where carlos is in gulfport is a real problem. Same thing with tampa up here close to me, 20 Miles South in the Big Bend. They could see 20 feet of Storm Surge. What meteorologists call unsurvivable carlos, well get back to you in a bit. Allison chinchar in the Weather Center will get more updates from her. In the meantime, and lets go back to Kate And Jessica in new york. Absolute.

The move follows a long investigation into how he raised Campaign Funds and his connection to turkish officials and businessmen. The exact details of what he is facing still not known because indictment has been has remained sealed. Thats likely to change today. Mayor adams has remained defiant, putting out a video after the news broke i have been facing these lies for months since i began to speak out for All Of You. And their investigation started hit the city has continued to improve make no mistake you elected me to lead this city and lead it. I will cnns Shimon Prokupecz been following all of this from the beginning. Shes joining us now to mount what are you hearing about . Whats going to happen today . Well, certainly defiant. Mayor adams and there you can hear me. He has no intention on quitting, resigning in these up for this fight. And certainly the people close to him and his attorneys are all indicating theyre going to fight the, problem is at this point, we dont know what these charges are. We dont know how serious they are. We dont know how many counts we dont know the severity of the potential liability here. The criminal liability that hes facing, and so all of that in mind its very easy for him to say he has no intention on resigning because we just dont know what this is about yet. Earlier today, there has been activity at Gracie Mansion you were the mayor. Is that and then we at some Point Today expect the indictment to be unsealed the us Attorneys Office here will unseal this indictment that is when we will learn what this is all about. And just to remind viewers, kate, when all of this started, it was about a year ago when the fbi first raided a Campaign Staffer, his chief finance, so Campaign Staff for about a year ago in brooklyn, the fbi raided her home. They did a Search Warrant there, and then days later, its just unprecedented move by the fbi. They had a Search Warrant, they stopped the mayor. He was leaving an event in here in manhattan and they stopped him and they took his phones. And from there the investigation when and its been fairly quiet now yesterday, word of the indictment got out, and now we wait to hear what the indictment is about and hopefully sometime this morning perhaps around 9 00 a. M. When court opens the indictment will be unsealed, and we will learn more information about exactly what the mayor is facing. Were live outside City Hall well, this is where the americans, every day during the week to work. So we hope we will see him here at some point this morning, i guess no intention on hiding it seems so hopefully well hear from him again later this morning. But for now, the biggest thing, obviously, kate, is that we are waiting on the u. S Attorneys Office and for the court to one seal this indictment absolutely. I mean, and youve been covering it mean, its a month long investigation that has had top top officials in his in his
