Ainsley good morning, its 6 00 a. M. Here on the East Coast. Its friday, its september 27th, this is fox friends. We start with a Fox Weather alert. You are looking live at atlanta where crews are working to rescue people as helene is tearing into georgia. Steve meanwhile, the powerful storm crashed into floridas big Bend Coast Area as a massive category 4 hurricane. Down add lot of power lines. Look at that and take a look at this video. That is of a causeway in tampa waves crashing over the sides and look, people are driving through it. What are they taking . Did they make it to the other side . Yes, they did. We will show you some of the damage as The Sun Comes Up this friday morning. Brian Without A Storm It feels like on the water going across those bridges. Trying to rewrite history. Vice president harris is finally going to the border in arizona to show her toughness on immigration . Lawrence unbelievable. Why didnt she do it four years ago. She should save her air fare, tell the president to close the border. Lawrence Thursday Night football. My Dallas Cowboys breaking a two game losing streak with a win over brians new York Giants 13 times in a row. Being physical in the run game. Second year out of North Dakota State and the sideline, here goes lamb, he gets free on the inside. Cd lamb. Touchdown. Lawrence well have our thoughts and prayers for brian this morning. Brian oh, really . The season is still young. 13. Lawrence you can catch back up. Fox friends starts right now. Steve and, of course, our top stories is the weather. Thats an image from late yesterday. Right know what was a category 4, a hurricane now a Tropical Storm. Helene moving quickly through georgia after tearing through florida as that cat 4. The historic storm killed at least 3 people that we know of and over 2 Million people are without power across the southeast. Ainsley florida and georgia. The alabama, carolinas and virginia are under states of emergency. Brian heres the moment the storm made landfall in florida while Fox Weathers owns Mike Seidel was live on the air. Whoa did you see that Power Flash . Ari . I was surprised. Here comes another one. It was. There goes another one. Holy oh my gosh. That was three or four right there. I thought it was lightning. There goes another one. This is incredible. I have never seen that many Power Flashes back to back to back in my career. Janice dean is here tracking the storm with he we start with Marissa Torres live in tallahassee. Marissa, a tough storm. Yeah, historical on so many levels. Right . Where i was in tallahassee it could have been so much worse, that little shift to the east helped tallahassee but made it so much worse for other areas along the nature coast. I want to talk about where we are because tallahassee, yes, you have about 70 of the county without power, mainly some downed trees. Minimal damage. We decided to head least closer to helene made landfall. Wwe are stuck on i10. We knew it could be an issue it is shut down going east. We are trying to get toward lee. We are in madison county. We are in greenville. To the north of perry which is most closer to landfall, which took a huge hit and suffered immense damage if not catastrophic in spots. I 10 is shut down east. I dont even know how long this goes. Its complete darkness aside for the light we are providing. A lot of the people i spoke to say they have been going on now for about three hours. A lot of cars at this point shutting off gas because there is just no telling when we will move forward. If you look even out ahead of me. If we can pivot this way, I Cant even tell you how far it goes. Because at this point its taillights as far as we can see. People have been getting up. Walking around, trying to get information from neighbors sitting in their cars. Saw at least one patrol vehicle, State Police Head that way. Some lights out up ahead. A Tow Truck earlier that asked to us pivot over a little bit so he could get through. I dont know what car is he going to get. A lot of downed trees on the median, westbound especially. Even jackknifed Tractor Trailers that we saw earlier. It is quite of a bit of a mess. Ainsley describe where you are, what is going on there . Why are all those cars stuck . At this point the information i have from 511, looks like we have a trooper going on the shoulder now. At this point 511 is saying the eastbound side of i10 in greenville and for those familiar with I 10 this is a major interstate East To West along the gulf coast. You have a lot of semitrucks out here. All it says is that it is closed. Im guessing maybe a crash and maybe a downed tree. A lot of giant oak trees, Pine Trees here. With the winds i assume it took something out and something is blocking the road. If there is an exit at that point. If you are exiting not like you are going into a major area that could handle all of this traffic. Steve there is just the one way. Melissa, live report, stuck On The Road in tallahassee. She wants to go East And Cant go anywhere. Brian check in with senior meteorologist Janice Dean over here with the Fox Weather forecast. Janice so, listen, if you live in the tallahassee area, a lot of people are, you know, Breathing A Sigh of relief this morning. But, east of that area, as marissa was saying, someone got 140 mileperhour sustained winds. And because all of this happened at night, the power is out. Were not going to find the scope of damage until today, maybe in the next couple of days. So just maybe because you didnt get the worst of it, doesnt mean your neighbor did not. And we did have a category 4, the strongest hurricane to make landfall on this part of florida since records have begun. And now part 2 of this. This is going to be a Flooding Story for millions of folks, for georgia and the carolinas. We have several flooding emergencies. Catastrophic flooding for areas like asheville and also have a Couple Tornado warn storms. We are going to see the risk for Tropical Storm tornadoes and this right now is a flash flood emergency. We had a Storm Move through this area before the hurricane, before the Tropical Storm, and now on top steve . Steve right now we are looking live. The right side of your screen, when you are talking about all the Flooding And Everything like that. We just saw in atlanta,. Lawrence a woman and a baby. Steve just took. Ainsley theyre rescuing a dog now. Steve out of a raft. Presumably somebody stuck in a house or a car. A woman and a baby. This goes to your point how dangerous this flooding is look how fast the current is thats a street. The current back there is going Lickety Split and here comes the dog. Janice this was part 2 of the story. We were focused on the landfall, of course. We all knew these areas of georgia, including atlanta, up towards the carolinas, will be dealing with flooding. They have never seen before. Because we had that storm in at advance of this one. And now all of that tropical Storm Moisture on top of, you know, rivers and streams that are already flooded. So were going to see these images, this is going to be an ongoing situation. As i mentioned, some areas across florida didnt get the storm that they thought they were going to. But now people in advance of the storm well inland are going to feel the impacts of the storm even though its not a hurricane. So, as we go through the weekend. Places like georgia, places like north carolina, south carolina, asheville right now Catastrophic Flooding is occurring. And the southern appalachians, i was seeing, you know, dire messaging these areas where we have the mountainous terrain that have never seen this type of flooding in their lifetime. So thats the concern here this is atlanta. Very heavy rainfall. Several inches you have rain in a very short period of time. Tornadoes, of course, will also be a risk. But, also, remember, this happened overnight. So we are not going to see the scope of the damage until throughout the day. Camera People Cant get through. This is a major storm. And very large one of if not the largest storms they have ever experienced in the gulf of mexico. At least 500 miles wide. And we had Hurricane Force winds for central georgia. Were not done yet. Dont let your guard down. I mean, prayers for the southeast right now. Lawrence janice, real quickly, because as we watched this Rescue Operation thats happening in atlanta, you know this all too well. Your husband did this for years when it documents these Rescue Operations. That under current, thats why they have the line there, thetocatch them just from case. Can wipe any person thats even trying to rescue those people, right . Janice right. I worry that our first responders are being pulled in so many directions because people didnt realize how bad this could have been. And thats why i always say listen, dont wait for the weather people or even your Emergency Managers to tell you what to do. You have to protect yourself and your family. To be out On The Roads when we told you snroogd occurring. Thats putting our first responders in danger. Brian saw that one sheriff make a comment. Get a permanent marker if you stayed. Write it on your Arm And Birthday so we can identify the body. Janice we will not know the scope of this damage until next week. Ainsley when you everywhere talking, a woman stepped out of that Life Boat after she was rescued holding her baby, it looked like in a Baby Bee or or just swaddled and behind her two dogs. Lawrence big dogs probably wasnt a car rescue. Will when The Sun Comes Up in the next hour, we will be able to see so much more. Throughout the night in the doocy house, we had Fox Weather on the entire time. Janice did a great job. Steve conch was absolutely speck dark. So there you go. To Fox Weather dot tv. You can watch on your favorite device if you want to download it. Just open your camera. Scan that right there and you will have it on your phone. Lawrence thanks, janice. Brian other stuff going on today. Following the weather as it effects everyone in the southeast. Talk about where Vice President is going to be. She is under water on two issues, on the economy, closing the gap a blip. And on immigration. And every time she talks about immigration, brings up two things. Number one that Border Bill. The bipartisan Border Bill the chief says would have revolutionized everything. Outside of the Border Patrol agents it would have added she almost knows nothing bells it. Huge holes in it and Wasnt Donald Trump that stopped it. Various republicans werent on board with it. They knew nothing about it werent going to let any amendments go through. The other thing she brings up is her role in Prosecuting Transnational Gangs which she did in 2012 and 202014. If you take out a calendar, that was 10 years ago. She wants to challenge that not as what she did as senator, nothing. Not what she did as Vice President , almost nothing, as indicative of the video that you see of her at the border outdoors wearing a mask in her 25minute Visit to the border. Ainsley all you have to do, brian, is look at the numbers. The numbers dont lie under the Biden And Harris administration 8. 3 million encounters. Under trump 2. 4. And 66,586 pounds of fentanyl seized at our southern border under Biden And Harris. Steve thats right. So lets talk a little bit about what is going to happen today. Today Kamala Harris is going to be out in douglas, arizona. She is going to visit the Cbp Port there and talk about stopping fentanyl. She is going to talk about how crossings into the country have actually dropped by half from june into july. But, what she is going to focus on is in addition to Border Security and that bipartisan bill, brian, that you mentioned, she is going to say, you know that, bipartisan bill would have added 1500 different cbp agents who could be stopping the flow of fentanyl into the country. In particular, she is there because they are highlighting a new 400 Million project from the infrastructure bill. Its known as the two port solution. They have got a newport of entry and they expanded the previous port, so she is going to say look, look what we were able to pass in the congress. We got all the money to build. This now, put me in charge and i will stop the flow of fentanyl. Thats what her emphasis is going to be. Lawrence one of the things she is struggling with is she hoped that if she continued to talk about that bill, that bipartisan bill, and Donald Trump stopping it that it would galvanize some type of support. But, i dont think its working with the american people because most people that are reasonable and just look at this, dont think that Donald Trump is weak on the border, a, and number two, they are wondering where were they the last three years . So they just recently proposed this bill. There was three years of a surge coming across the border. Where were you on that issue . The second thing that theyre dealing with right now is that theyre used to be Donald Trumps Signature Issue and he talked about this yesterday, back in 2016, was the border. They demonized him. He fixed the issue, to some degree. When he became president. And so he couldnt run on it back in 2020. Well, that has changed right now. When you look at the Polling Data right now and its not just republicans, when you look at the independents, the amount of americans that Support Mass Deportation is overwhelming right now. Its because they see the issue, they see the gangs in their neighborhood. He took it on yesterday. Watch. Kamala harris will be visiting the southern border that she has completely destroyed, from what i understand, tomorrow. Why would she go to the border now. She keeps talking about how she supposedly wants to fix the border. We would merely ask why didnt she do it four years ago . You cant justify it. She should save her air fare. She should go back to the White House and tell the president close the border. Do it with signing a piece of paper to the Border Patrol. Instead she is going there to try to convince people that she wasnt as bad as everybody knows. Ainsley Donald Trump went on to call the Border Bill that the democrats were trying to pass. They called it a bipartisan Border Bill but many of the republicans didnt agree with it, including Donald Trump. They are saying that he was trying to intervene to stop this Border Bill. He says thats not true. Lawmakers that have been asked about it said thats not true. He called it yesterday he said it was not a Border Bill it was an amnesty bill. He outlined his ideas for securing the border. Many of the ideas we had before, End Catch and release. Restore remain in mexico. Bring Back Title 42. This one is big. Send congress a Bill To Ban Sanctuary Cities and stop all those migrant flights and one more thing shut down all entries through the migrant phone app. Brian No Doubt about it the pressure On Mexico who suddenly want Joe Biden elected has resulted in less border crossings, but that app. Is key. People are plying in their countries and age to be flown in to small airports across the country and dont count as a border crosser. If im Joe Biden<
