there s going to be a lot of efforts as this storm passes, but this thing is hitting really within the next hour and a half most likely. it s going to make landfill. it is a major hurricane as we have been saying it was likely to be for the last couple of days and we just hope everybody stays safe. don t put your life at risk by doing anything dumb at this point. this thing is powerful. if you re inside, just hunker down until it gets past you. you don t want to be messing around with these winds. there s going to be things flying all over the place. obviously if you re in a place that s close to the coast and you see that surge, that s going to be legitimate surge. it s going to be a big, big deal and it s going to be very, very dangerous. and there we go with our power here. we re back. so, i m going to have kevin guthrie come up. we ll hear from major general haass. adam scofield and one of our
communities with standing impacts from the other bands of the storm under the governor s leadership, we have certainly amassed a great team here at the division, and with state agency heads that have moved bureaucracy red tape to get things done where we re restoring 100,000 accounts in less than eight hours. so, please rest assured, we will do whatever it takes to help our communities recover from idalia. we have general haass here. i cannot tell you how much i appreciate you and your team, admiral scofield, the same way. i appreciate everything you re doing. they have helicopters ready to go as soon as they re going to be able to get back into the area, they are going to be flying. they ll be in the area so, again, thank you for both of you being here. governor. good morning, and, governor, thank you again for your leadership and your continued support of your florida national guard. director guthrie, thank you again for your tremendous work
