Barreling down the Gulf Coast straight into floridas West Coast. 120mileanhour winds and violent Water Pummeling the bridge. And this is santa Bell Island where floodwaters appear to be swallowing a house. And in Fort Myers, a tornado rips through neighbourhoods, obliterating properties. The winds are ferocious, the storm churches unstoppable and floridians are worried. Lets go to her senior correspondent in tampa. Steve . Jesse, we see rain come down in sheets. The wind is starting to pick up as well, we could see anywhere from 616 inches of rain here that has been going steady for the past six hours. The Storm Surge is another concern here in the tampa area. This could be a Worstcase Scenario depending on where the storm actually makes landfall. We could see up to 10 feet of Storm Surge here, anywhere from 15 feet along other parts and along the coast. When it gets over 40 miles per hour, they cannot come out and rescue and right now it seems to be hovering right about that range. They still have electricity here in tampa. About 100,000 people without electricity, that is likely to go up to over 1 Million before the storm is done. Back to you jesse. Jesse stay safe, thank you steve. All right. It is a really tough situation out there on the West Coast of florida. Who do we have next . Lets bring in our weather correspondent, robert ray. Robert . Yes jesse, we just had a huge Pine Tree Fall on our vehicle right after a life report. We are all okay here on the manatee river. You cant see it but thats where i was reporting from all night tonight. Where you can see the swells coming up on the river and on the other side here of Tampa Bay. And as i walked off the camera to get into the vehicle and just try to grab a moment of solace, this tree just collapsed, as you can see. And there is Debris And Vegetation flying around and thus all of this equipment right now, sort of the heaviest winds that we have experienced coming in here in the past 45 minutes, the Hurricane Winds with intense rain and all of these pieces of vegetation coming off the trees. If you right in the face. There is no power in this Area And Landfall is imminent at some point very close to where we are, right now to the west. And with no power, i have to tell you, this microcosm of disaster that just happen to us, i cant even imagine what is happening all up and down the coastline from naples, Fort Myers and where we are at, tampa and the area. We are having major issues here tonight as expected. And as steve alluded to, the Storm Surge. As winds continue to come through, the dangers sweep through this entire area and it is not just here, is in land in florida and in orlando. And then on the opposite side of this great peninsula, the atlantic, the entire peninsula except for parts of the panhandle will be impacted hugely as these Power Outages continue to mount. Back you jesse. Jesse we can hear the wind in the shot. What does that feel like to you right now . It is unbelievable. Im glad you brought up the fact that you can hear that sound over audio. That is all we are hearing. As a matter of fact, it is tough to communicate with the crew and our staff and understand what is going on. And when the tree fell, i hopped out of the vehicle, my photographer had the back of his vehicle open and part of the Tree Limbs went into the vehicle and we had to move the car back. The Fox Whether Beast theyre illuminating us and we couldnt even hear each other. In fact right now, if i screamed as loud as i could, they wouldnt hear a word im saying without having their earpieces in. It is a difficult situation. By the way, thats why First Responders are not out. Anything over 40 miles an hour they cannot go out. These Wind Gusts are Hurricane Force right now and just downright frightening. And again, a microcosm. This is just one aspect of what is happening all across the coast of florida right now. Jesse is an ominous sound, think you so much. Lets go over to mike. Reporter hello jesse. The winds are cranking out at Hurricane Wind gusts. Weve had gusts up to 90 and nearby Saint Peace has dusted to about 80 miles an hour but the wind so far here is still blowing out to the east which is a good thing. And another good Thing Tonight is the track of milton. It is about to make landfall and it is going to go in south of Tampa Bay r that is going to alert the Search Numbers for Tampa Bay, it will increase the Search Numbers and the forecast will verify down to the beaches. We have already had a surge of 56 feet and parts of the Fort Myers area. So south of here, those numbers verify but there is no way we will get 812 feet here. No one is complaining. Eventually as it clears the Tampa And St. Peter area, the winds will come back around for the West And Southwest and start to pour some water on sure. But by that point there is just no way we get those big numbers, no complaints here because theres so much debris in these neighbourhoods. They cleaned up a little bit more yesterday but literally miles and miles, these islands are piled up with debris and they are more than happy to get not much of a surge because people are really concerned even until a few hours ago that the surge combined with a wind, it would float the debris and the wind would start to float around. And then Tomorrow Morning we would wake up with debris all over the place and have to bring in the bulldozers. Right now we are looking better and areas. Because of the track of milton as it starts to move right on the shore now. The edge on sure but you have to get the centre on sure before we have official landfall called by the national Hurricane Centre. Rainfall has been prolific already in the st. Pete area, pushing 10 inches of rain, it has been raining at 12 inches an hour since about dinnertime. And the wind so far has blown around a few things, some of these plastic Highway Markers going around but other than that, we have not seen a lot of things blowing around at this point. By the way, Power Outages in the state of florida now just over half A Million statewide. Here, the number has jumped up. We were at just about 10 percent, now 16 of the county, that includes Clearwater Beach and where we are here. 16 of customers are out. Were holding power here in this area, we will see how that lasts. We have another few hours of these wins until about midnight, then things should begin to ease off but the impacts will be moving east along the corridor and the last one they had was charlie back and 2013. And that was the first one in 40 years and they were also concerned with the East Coast beaches. Also that Tornado Threat continues. The chiney to watch until 9 00 for most of the peninsula, they will extend that. That is a guarantee so be on the lookout. And that is where we stand right now. Waiting for the official landfall and to see how it plays out on those gauges in Tampa Bay and the beaches here. But the bottom line, it does look better at this hour. Jesse if that is better looking, i cannot imagine what words would look like. You have done this, mike. Not your first time. You are a hurricane guy. Where does this rank, so far . I would not yet put it in the top 10. I have been through some feisty ones, en two years ago, i was there for hours. It was like a buzz saw. I have been in katrina, i have been in it is not a top 10 yet. Certainly from standing out here and certainly from what may happen overnight. But it is certainly pretty feisty and it will come in. It likely is a major hurricane down to 120. But still, a lot of impact for many people. But now it looks like the worst possible scenario where Tampa Bay is not going to be his going to happen. Jesse looks quite feisty from here new york, things for the report. As Hurricane Milton brings biblical damage to florida, biden came out today and defended his administrations slow response to hurricane helene, calling any criticism of it this information and pointing fingers at trump. There has been reckless promotion of disinformation and outright lies about whats going on. Former President Trump has led this onslaught of lies. Assertions have been made that property is being confiscated and that is simply not true. Were saying people impacted by the storms have received 750 in cash and no more, that is simply not true either. They are saying that money needed for these crises are being diverted to migrants. What the heck are they talking about . Stop it, is outrageous. It is just not true. Jesse biden is fighting from part of than the hurricane. If he should be angry at anyone, it should be his team. They did not preposition assets in North Carolina to help in the foothills. Just like afghanistan and the border, that hurricane is now trumps fault. Americans have lost power, their homes, some of them even lost their hubs husbands. Do not worry about politicians say on tv. They are worried because they have not seen fema all week. Criticizing your government is not misinformation, it is a Godgiven Right of every american. Instead of battling to save lives, the Bidenharris Administration is treating natural disasters like a p. R. Battle. That needs to be one with words instead of fast action. There has always been issues and disasters, certainly this happened where there is misinformation where there are scams but we have never seen anything like we have at this level. The administration will also continue to work out and call out Misinformation And Conspiracy theories around the storm and federal and state responses. This is wrong, dangerous and must stop immediately. Are we concerned about any Misinformation Or Disinformation regarding evacuations that we need to clear up . There has been a lot of misinformation out there, madame Vice President , thats for sure. Jesse the only misinformation we heard is that biden is doing a great job. And if you just drive your electric car, category five hurricanes will shrink into category two. Americans are naturally suspicious of the government after they lied to us about vietnam, iraq, covid, russia, the president s health. This is not a cheap fake. North carolina sees the Aftermath And Biden and harris relate. So what are they claiming is disinformation . Number 1, fema is seizing property. Trump never said that. Number 2, people would not get more than 750. Trump never said that. And then the migrant money. That came from them. They said fema would run out of money for hurricane season. And fema admitted they wasted 1 Billion on migrants. Im not great at math, if i were i would work on wall street. But if you spend too much money on one thing and dont have enough money for another thing, that means you messed up. But if someone is making crazy claims on the internet about fema, so what . The president of the united states should not be amplifying it at a press conference. No one had ever heard about most of this misinformation until biden repeated it in front of the nation. All of this silliness is designed to distract the media from covering Bidens Failure in North Carolina. He makes the story about trump so the story is not about him. And the media just goes along. Even cnn is confronting the Admission Administration about not being prepared, watch this. After it made landfall on sekera 26, Joe Biden was at his house. Vice president Kamala Harris was flying between ritzy california fundraisers getting down the celebrities. A secretary was in Los Angeles presiding over an awards ceremony. Heidi respond to this accusations . We dont listen to her Pay Attention to such unproductive and quite frankly, counterproductive words. Jesse so criticizing democrats is counterproductive but criticizing republicans is saving lives. By combating misinformation. You got that . What is counterproductive is leaving americans hanging. But bending over backwards to help foreigners who broke into the country. Americans have to wait weeks for 750 when they lost their home. But a migrant crosses the border and gets a free bus ticket, free hotel room, free food, free phone, debit cards licketysplit. Migrants get to cut the Security Line at the airport while you wait weeks for fema to arrive. It is not right. All were asking is to put americans first. We dont hate anyone, we just want fairness and respect. Especially since we pay for the government that is supposed to help us when we cannot help ourselves. We should not be debating politics and arguing about misinformation. We should come together and save lives. But even socalled scientists are going on tv and saying if you vote for Kamala Harris, hurricanes will shrink. The other side, as we often call it, they have no plans to address Climate Change. No plans for longterm dealing with these sorts of problems. If you have young voters out there, and encourage them to vote. People say what can i do about Climate Change . If we were talking about it, associating it with big storms like this, that would be really good. But the main thing is to vote. Jesse this is like saying the best thing you can do to protect yourself from the hurricane is get vaccinated. Remember that . Trump was asked about how these hurricanes will impact the election and he said he was not thinking about voting, he was thinking about lives. Donald trump hosting nearly 300 lineman from Florida Power and Light Company at his golf club. And Kamala Harris has been sidelined by Joe Biden and has been left to complain that Desantis Wont take her calls. Im working with President Biden and our state and local partners and we are getting the job done. She has never been interested in any of the storms we have had in the state of florida for her entire time is Vice President. Now she is out there attacking me because im not catering to her whims . All she is doing is injecting herself to be a part of her political campaign. I dont have time for political games. We have a job to do, peoples lives are on the line and that is our sole focus. Jesse even President Biden is telling harris to stand down. He says dont get involved. We are working well together. Does govern Governor Desantis need to take her calls . All i can tell you as ive talking to Governor Desantis and he has been very gracious and thanked me for what weve done. He knows we are doing and i think that is important. Jesse good to know Biden And Desantis are working well together because florida is about to get smashed. Its also good to know fema will not be getting in the way there. Just let me be clear. And florida, we run the show. Fema is not running the show, we will utilize them to support some of the things that we are doing. But you will not see Fema Running Amok and florida. I know that has been out there on the internet, that will not happen. I am the sheriff in charge here and we will make sure to protect you, worry about it. Jesse the former Hawaii Congresswoman and former president ial candidate joins us now. This misinformation b. S. , which they are trafficking in all day, they talk more about that than they talk about the hurricane, what is that all about . They are really exposing themselves, jesse. They claim to be the defenders of democracy but they revealing themselves over and over again to be dictators. That is what were seeing. They see themselves like dictators do, as the country. And anyone who dares to criticize them is therefore committing a crime or a traitorous or is disloyal to the country. This is how twisted their minds are and quite frankly how danger
