Theyre saying it could Go To 9 . That would be worse than two years ago, except it would be selfinflicted, really key line from the authors here. They say that we find ironically that the spot fight his make the foreigners pay rhetoric. This package of policies does more damage to the u. S. Economy than to any other in the world which kate, i just think brings us to one of the ironies here, right . The economy is the number one issue. Voters say they trust trump over harris on the economy. And yet these experts, when they dig into the policies, they he say that he wouldnt just fail to fix inflation. He would actually make things worse brutal, brutal analysis for sure. Thank you so much. Matt were going to head over to florida right now where the governor of florida is holding an update on Hurricane Helene as its making its way to the Gulf Coast and major general John Haas from the Florida National Guard as you know, as of 8 00 a. M. Hurricane helene is now a category two hurricane. It is located 365 miles south of apalachicola, is expected to speed up throughout the day and its expected to make landfall in Northern Florida for some time this evening maximum sustained winds are currently about 100 miles per hour. It is possible that this storm could make landfall as a major hurricane, as a category three or even potentially a category four, it is moving fast more rainfall is, of course expected. And it could lead to significant Storm Surge in our coastal areas. And so we are prepared for that. Of course. And well see what happens in terms of the intensification. I think that these things can rapidly intensify. Sometimes they become majors, sometimes theres changes. So were just going to continue to do our thing and assume that this is going to be a major hurricane when it makes landfall this is a very large storm, so youre going to see tropical weather thats going to extend hundreds of miles away from the center of the storm, doesnt necessarily mean youre going to have a Hurricane Category three winds, say on the East Coast of florida. But you are going to have tropical conditions that its going to be nasty throughout the latter part of the day here in the state of florida we are of course, looking at the track if you look at the ad am advisory and i think this has been happening probably for the probably the last eight hours. The models are nudging the center of the storm a little bit east. And thats significant when youre talking about tallahassee because if it yesterday, we were looking at an eyewall that was probably just on the western part of the city when you storms hit the northeast part of the storm is usually the most damaging. And so to the extent it is tracking East And Mirroring more of an Ai Dahlia Track rather than a direct hit on Tel Assay that is going to impact the extent of the damage. This area has not had a major Hurricane Hit and quite some time and certainly nobody in recent memory has seen a storm of this magnitude that has hip. So well watch that theres no guarantee that its going to continue on that trend, but we have seen that slight trend. And that could potentially be very impactful. Talking another 30 or 40 miles to the east versus maintaining course or even toggling a little bit west, there will be Debris Either Way obviously, if it hits direct in the tallahassee with the trees that we have here, and its nice, but it will cause a lot of damage we have been kevin and his team have been working with local governments throughout the state, but particularly throughout this region about making sure they have their Debris Contracts ready to go. Theres gonna be a need to get debris out of the roadways. Kevin, his team are going to be helping jared, his team are going to be helping, but then also so with Power Restoration you want to be able to get the power back on the alignment, going to have to access these Power Lines. And that could be more challenging in an area like tallahassee than it would be in areas that may not be as wooded. So those debris, all local governments do your Debris Contracts. Youre gonna get fema reimbursement for this fiscally constrained counties. Weve stepped up at the State Level and help them in the past, but i think you can anticipate that theres going to be a need for some serious debris removal. So so please take the appropriate steps. But as weve said all along, this storm was never projected to make landfall in the Florida PeninsulaGulf Coast. Whether youre talking about sarasota, tampa, some of those areas, but because its such a Big H churning a lot of water. And so youre going to see surge all up and down the West Coast of florida the water is going to rise and that is going to create hazards as well so just because youre outside the cone and i think a lot of those parts on the West Coast of florida are probably outside the cone that does not mean that youre not going to see significant impacts we have overnight had 14 different Tornado Warnings. Theres likely to be more of those throughout today warnings were issued in palm beach, hendry glady, and Collier County now, parts of our state are starting to feel the effects already certainly if youre a North Florida you still have time to x each players got to do it now, you have time to get to a shelter, but you got to do it now, every minute that goes by brings us closer to having conditions that are going to be simply too dangerous to navigate but if you who are in the northern part of the state and you have access and youre in an Evacuation Zone and youve been told to evacuate, you do have time to do it now so do it. But dont wait another six hours, seven hours and say, oh man, this thing looks big and think that youre going to want to go out though, though that will be very hazardous to do that with all of the he evacuation orders. Theres going to be a time and some of that time may have been reached and southern parts of the state where your Local Fisher is going to tell you its too late to Stay Put i dont think weve reached that in Northern Florida yet, but wherever you are if your local em official say that its that its too hazard curtis to go and they usually are better off just hunkering down heed that advice. I know jareds talking about with the folks about the winds. Were looking at the Skyway Bridge is having i dont know if theyve closed it yet, but i think that was imminent. So youre starting to see this. So just listen to your local officials depending on where you are in the state there will become a time in North Florida as the hours pass today, where they may tell you, Stay Put. But but dont put yourself at risk. We have fatalities on the roadways and hazardous conditions. Almost every storm, and those can be avoidable avoided with proper planning. Remember also, were going to Variance Power outages a lot of people use generators and thats, thats great. But please use the generator properly. If you use the generator inside your house, that could kill you, you got to keep the generator outside the house a safe distance from any doors or windows . Cant let the Carbon Monoxide get into your home. So please use the generators appropriately also, in terms of shelters so if you are in an Evacuation Zone, youve been ordered some people just recommended evacuation. Some people may not have been told to, but they look and maybe they feel like they need to get out there shelters available. If you want to look at the shelters available in your particular county, Go To florida disaster. Org backslash shelters. And you will see the options that you have all counties are required to have at least one petfriendly shelter. So please do not leave your pets behind. Make sure that you take them with them. We want to keep our pets safe in addition to our families the division of Emergency Management is partnered with uber. We announced yesterday to provide free rides to shelters for floridians and counties that are under a state of emergency, which is almost all of them at this point. If you want to use that, the Uber Code is Haleine Relief when you book your ride, just want all in one no space. Haleine relief. And when you book your ride so so so take advantage of that obviously were reaching the point where thats not going to be an option as the storm gets closer. But i can tell you if youre in tallahassee buren, color of your in some of the Northern Florida. And theres ubers available, you still have time right now to be able to take advantage of that. Lastly, as weve learned and major storms to the greatest dangers are Tree Limbs falling on roofs as well as driving during the storm. Once the Storm Hits, do not go out on the roadways there will be hazardous conditions, do not drive in standing water. Youre going to see It Roadways that are going to be flooded throughout the state of florida. Youre putting yourself at risk if you do that, also, if youre sheltering at your home be aware of the Tree Limbs that are on your property or in adjacent to your home, tried to be in an Interior Room or away from limbs that could fall through the Roof Or Window and cause harm. And we do see fatalities that happen in these storms because of Tree Limbs falling on homes. And you can have a great home that can withstand a category three storm winds. Its a lot more difficult to withstand a Big Tree falling on your roof. So so take a look at that and know that that is a very rare real hazard when it comes to this storm youve been listening to florida governor Ron Desantis speaking here in tallahassee, not far from where i am right now, John Berman here. This is cnns special live coverage. Of Hurricane Helene, which is right now a category two Storm Strengthening as it moves north and is due to make Landfall Tonight on the Florida Coast as a major hurricane, a category three, maybe even a category four storm what you just heard from Governor Desantis was a warning to the people here in Northern Florida along the big ben. Basically, he said, you still have time to get out, but you have to do it now, heed the warnings from local officials and get out. If you were told to do so. Now is the time along the big Bend Area there could be Storm Surge of 15 to 20 feet that we are told is unsurvivable. That is why the governor is issuing that warning. He also noted that power could be out for some time. He also noted as youre looking at the socalled cone there of where the storm could hit dont just pay attention to the cone this storm is so big, its going to have impacts over the entire Florida Peninsula. Whether it means rain or wind, or that Storm Surge. All right. Cnn is covering this story up and down the coast. Weve got Carlos Suarez and gulfport and Pinellas County. Weve got Mirror Bell Gonzalez plus in steen hatchie, florida That E is part of the big bend where the storm could push that surge first. So im going to Go ToAllison Chinchar at the Weather Center to get a sense of the very latest forecast, allison and thats right. So it is a category two storm currently churning in the Gulf Of Mexico in the last few frames here, weve really started to get it more of definitive eye develop in this particular storm that shows that it is continuing to strengthen and we anticipate that this storm will continue to strengthen as we go through the rest of the day today, we now have not one but two separate tornado watches one in effect for about twothirds of florida, the other for portions of georgia and south carolina, more of these are likely to come as we go through the next 24 to 48 hours, weve had several Tornado Warnings off and on for both florida and georgia, as well as south carolina. More of those are expected as more of those outer bands begin to creep into to the states the storm is expected to become a major hurricane later on today before making Landfall Tonight near the big bend region, that that point, the forward speed well pick up quite considerably. And what that really means is it means it can make it pretty far inland before its able to weaken back down to a tropical storm. So youre going to have cities that are well away from the ocean that still looking at Hurricane Force winds. And then from there it continues up into portions of tennessee where its just kinda Kinda Hover and thats going to allow lot of rain to get dropped in some of these areas widespread. A lot of these portions of these states are looking at four to eight inches of rain, but some spots not out of the question to pick up ten or even 12 inches for this system finally moves out. We showed you the two tornado watches in effect more likely to come because this entire area you see here has the potential for severe weather. Were talking waterspouts, tornadoes and the potential for damaging winds. Now again, the Flood Threat is really whats going to be widespread and it exists obviously where we have landfall but even imminently after that, you can see the wide swath it stretches into georgia, portions of eastern alabama, as well as the carolinas. And were also going to continue to see more of this not only today, but The Rainfall will continue for many of these states throughout the day on friday all right Allison Chinchar at the Weather Center.
