now live from gainesville, florida, nbc s jake gray and also our friend angie lassman at 30 rock. jay, i ll start with you. you ve covered a number of these storms. how are things looking now? we can see the rain is coming down as the storm is just a few hours from landfall. reporter: yeah, and jonathan, no question we re seeing the bands get a little tighter. we ve had the outer bands bringing rain like this and some stepped up winds over the last several hours. we know that s going to change dramatically as we move closer to landfall, and we won t get that break in the bands. it will be one steady rain here in gainesville. we re going to see hurricane force winds. a big concern obviously with the university of florida campus located here, those students don t have class. i mean that s pretty clear, but they re also being told to either get out of the area, and if you haven t done that at this point to shelter in place and make sure to ride this thing
