is only beginning. sandra: for those of us who have lived through hurricanes we know how scary they can be. chief meteorologist is with us tracking the storm and the latest tally on some of the winds that are being reported across that state. what are we seeing, rick? so far, john, i m glad we had the video that popped up from 2017 up in jacksonville, because jacksonville is going to get storm surge again from this storm, which is pretty hard to imagine. this is a look at the winds recorded so far, verified naples, 112 miles an hour, still with kinds of the worst of the wind offshore, it has not made its way there just yet. so we have a long road ahead. all right, every hour now we are getting an update here, so this is the 2:00 p.m. update. no changes in the last three hours, pressure still at 937 millibars, moving north/northeast at nine miles an hour. we are looking at that every hour. often times when you have a storm making landfall it starts to weaken a bit, interac
hits, it s a partnership. there are key pieces that have to be in place in all levels of government to go well. we are just looking at all the new information coming in to us right now, brock, as the governor just gave an update, top of the last hour saying it s a major, major storm, strengthening overnight has been significant, as we work our way to the official hurricane landfall, brock, as far as preparations for emergency personnel, they are at major risk if they step out in the middle of this hurricane making landfall. so, there is the period of time where even when called to emergency situations they won t even be able to respond. it s a short period of time, but we are about to approach that moment, brock. right, yeah, right now it s all about batoning down the hatches and taking cover, and it s a delicate balance. you want to move capability when it comes to incident management
