Greg thank you. Bret good evening, welcome to washington. Im bret baier. A massive Hurricane Bears down on florida. We look at the Recovery Efforts in North Carolina following Hurricane Helene and well talk to the ceo of walmart u. S. About Recovery And Relief efforts after helene before milton. Vice president harris on a Media Tour in mostly friendly venues makes news on a number of fronts. We will talk to one of her Senior Advisers. And hezbollah Terrorists Fire almost 200 rockets into israel ahead of what could be israels response to iran, irans attack in coming hours. We have a live report. But we begin with a Fox Weather alert. Hurricane milton is creeping towards the Gulf Coast of florida right now. It has been upgraded again back to a Category 5 storm. That means it is bringing 165 mileperhour winds, potentially lifethreatening Storm Surge with did with it. Many residents are freeing for drier higher ground. But it is getting tougher to find gasoline with many stations along the way running out. Disney world and universal Orlando Closing for the storm were told. Milton shaping up as the first hurricane since 1921 to possibly score a direct hit on the Tampa Bay Region. Robert ray of Fox Weather is on Bradenton Beach South of tampa right now with the latest. Good evening, robert. Robert yeah, good evening to you, bret, and you see the push of Sand And Debris in here and boarded up windows. Helene, go away. Idalia for 13 months go away. Milton, go away. And what is this indicative of . How many times this area has been clobbered by hurricanes in the past year. All of this sand, bret, pushed in less than two weeks ago by helene, 5 feet of Storm Surge, in fact, and you look at this, look at the debris fields that dealing with right now. They tried to pick all this up, bret. They couldnt do it because of the evacuations that wont in play and how Quickly Milton has spun up. Unfortunately. And you see peoples belongings with sand pushed around. This is indicative of what is happening across many of the Barrier Islands in the tampa area. Less than two weeks ago, helene ravaged not only florida but we know the amount of deaths in North Carolina and the tragedy up there. And so heres the deal, bret. 10 to 15 feet of Storm Surge is expected here on this Barrier Island and up in tampa. If, indeed, that is the case and, remember, 5 feet came in here and ruined homes. This is the size of a Basketball Hoop right now, 10 feet. Imagine 5 feet above that, thats 15 feet. All of this debris will be pushed around and winds up to 120 and 125 miles per hour making debris that sits here like missiles and projectiles. Mass, mass evacuations, national guard, historic amount on the ground here in florida, bret. And this is as serious as it gets. Bret . Bret robert ray, thank you. Joining us right now is michael brennan, director of the national hurricane center. Michael, good afternoon. It is going to be quite a storm and the newest data tells us, what . Well, that milton has reintensified back to a Category 5 hurricane this afternoon. We have got data from the Hurricane Aircraft in there in the last few minutes suggesting that peak winds are are up to 165 miles per hour. Very powerful hurricane moving off to the east, northeast at 9 miles per hour. Now less than 500 miles away from the West Coast of florida. But, overall, the picture for florida is still quite dire. Especially along the west Central Coast and it has not changed very much. We are still expecting milton to make landfall as a powerful major hurricane along the west Central Coast of florida late Tomorrow Night or in into the early morning hours on thursday. It is a large hurricane. We are expecting the Wind Field of milton to double in size from what it is now to when it gets to florida. Thats going to lead to multiple lifethreatening hazards, the potential for destructive Storm Surge especially in the Tampa Bay Region down to sarasota, somewhere in that region expected to get 10 to 15 feet of inundation of Ground Level and risk of Hurricane ForceWinds Everything you see in red under a Hurricane Warning, tampa, orlando, melbourne, palm bay, Port St. Lucie up to saint augustine, Flash Flooding up to 18 inches of rainfall. Bret thats a massive storm. What are the chances that the Wind Shear takes it down a notch or two before it hits . Well, were not expecting it to be a Category 5 at landfall. It could be a strong category 3, category 4. But we dont want people to get too hung up on the fact that the peak winds are going to come down some. Its just that the storm is going to grow in size. That more than makes up for the fact that the peak winds are going to make them lower. Makes the Storm Surge risk even worse and spreads out tropical Storm Force winds over a much larger area. Almost the entire state of florida under tropical storm Hurricane Warnings at least the peninsula with tropical Storm Warnings going all the way up into portions of south carolina. Bret at what point are you getting to the point its too late to get out of that area . You still have some time. If you look at these areas at risk of Storm Surge along the florida West Coast, you know, these Evacuation Zones and places from, you know, Pinellas County down south to manatee, down to port charlotte, cape coral. You have time tonight and early tomorrow to get out. You do not want to get left in these areas when that water starts to rise. Torrential conditions with going to start during the day tomorrow, remember, you only have to drive tens of miles to get out of the Storm SurgeEvacuation Zones through the shelter, through the home of a friend or loved one in a safe place or hotel, anywhere that will get you out of that area where that Storm Surge is going to be lifethreatening. As it it crosses, last thing, central florida, still will feel the wind and what about as it kind of goes across the state on the Back End there . Yeah, were expecting the as the center emerges off the East Coast of florida, some very strong winds to occur along the Back Side of the storm and bring Hurricane Conditions to places from just south of Jacksonville Cape canaveral Treasure Coast everywhere along this I 4 corridor, tampa, eerld are orlando, daytona at Risk Hurricane risks Wednesday Night into thursday. Bret we really appreciate the update up to the minute. Michael, thank you.

Peter the Vice President is continuing a mostly friendly Media Tour. Do you nap at all . Not really, i wish i could. Howard stern made clear is he not impartial. I dont even understand how this election is close and, yes, im voting for you. And so did the hosts of The View. The next president of the united states. [cheers] the Vice President talked about Trump Criticism of federal Hurricane Response. The idea that somebody would be playing political games for the sake of himself. Peter and chose to attach herself to the full biden record. Would you have done something differently than President Biden during the past four years . There is not a thing that comes to mind. Peter but some differences are emerging. For example, President Biden often says americas greatest adversary is russia. Which foreign country do you consider to be our greatest adversary . I think there is an obvious one in mind which is iran. Milton is now a hurricane. Biden and harris also have different opinions of florida governor Ron Desantis who claims he had no idea he had a missed call from the vp. She says focusing on protecting your people is selfish . Utterly irresponsible and it is selfish and it is about political gamesmanship. I think she ought to look in the mirror. Peter President Biden keeping it less political. I talked to him again yesterday, and i said i said you are doing a great job. The Vice President is still, as of this broadcast, planning to fly to the Southwest Tomorrow for Campaign Events in arizona and nevada. So, with milton approaching, President Bidens schedule reflects the Focus On Being president. The Vps Schedule reflects focus on becoming president. Bret .
