A live look at clearwater, florida as Hurricane Helene is making its way through the Gulf Of Mexico gaining strength before its set to hit american soil. Tonight all right good morning, everyone. Im kasie hunt. Its wonderful to have you with us time is running short for residents along Floridas Gulf Coast to get ready for Hurricane Helene powerful storm expected to make landfall later tonight, potentially as a major category four hurricane. Meaning theyre just hours left to fill sandbags, board up your Windows Tampa General Hospital is preparing with a Flood Barrier to help protect against Storm Surge. Some places along floridas Big Bend are forecast to get up to 20 feet of Storm Surge. That threat prompting evacuation orders up and down Floridas Gulf Coast local officials are urging residents to take these orders seriously because of this surge and you need to have a plan and he needs to get out now if you dont have a plan, you need to get one and you need to get out now lets get to our meteorologist, Allison Chinchar with the latest she is tracking The Storm for us all morning. Allison, what are we looking at right now . Right. So kasie, we actually just got an update at the very top of the hour at 5 00. So we now have sustained winds of 90 miles per hour with forward movement and of 12 miles per hour, thats actually going to pick up both of them actually will as it moves into the Gulf Of Mexico, its going to move into incredibly warm waters. And when it does, its going to end up intensifying even more because this is fuel for that type of stuff. Norm. Its expected to still make landfall sometime late this evening on the big Bend Region of florida. Now one thing to note though, is, as it does, its still anticipated to get to a major hurricane before it makes landfall. The forward feet is also expected to pick back up. It could be Making Landfall in forward speed to 25 miles per hour. This is very important because that means it can make it pretty far inland before its able to weaken back down to a tropical storms, youre talking to these lana nashville, and even greenville, spartanburg cities that are hundreds of miles away from the coast are likely to have significant it can impacts from this particular storm. Weve talked about the Storm Surge numbers. Taking a look at some of those youre looking at the Big Bend area, about 15 to 20 feet at the highest level. So pretty significant Storm Surge, but really up and down the entire West Coast of the florida peninsula. Youre going to have some and type of Storm Surge to even tampa, which is not near the landfall location, still likely to have Storm Surge of five to eight feet now the winds again, this is expected to be a major hurricanes. Youre looking at wins that are going to be well in excess of 100 miles per hour so a lot of those are really going to ramp but once we get past noon today, Youll Start to see a lot of those Wind Speeds begin to tick up, up and down the West Coast. Then it makes landfall. But even on the other side, cities that are on the coast of the atlantic ocean, not the Gulf Of Mexico also looking at some pretty substantial wind gusts, places like savannah, charleston, and it obviously inland, even a city like atlanta, georgia, very far away from the coast could end up having some of those winds up to 60 to 80 miles per hour. And then eventually it will continue to make its way off to the north. Rainfall is also going to be a big factor or so flooding is going to be a big Concern Today and tomorrow. Kasie okay. Wow, were looking at quite a bit here. Allison chinchar for us this morning. Allison. Thank you very much. Well see you throughout the next couple of hours as we keep tracking this. Alright, lets turn now to this. Both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump spending this week focused on the economy. The two candidates holding competing we campaign events in battleground States Harris was in pennsylvania focusing on policies aimed at strengthening the Middle Class. She says, trump was in north carolina, emphasizing his plans to try to keep Manufacturing Jobs in the u. S recent polling of likely voters shows just 40 days out from the election. Harris and trump are virtually tied but that same poll released earlier this week also shows trump ahead of harris when voters were asked who they trusted more to handle the economy now, its up to harris to clarify her economic messaging in final stretch of the campaign i believe we have an extraordinary opportunity to make our Middle Class the engine of americas prosperity. I grew up in a middleclass family. I have pledged that building a strong Middle Class will be a defining goal of my presidency. Trumps Vice President ial pick, j. D. Vance criticized harris on her pitch to the middleclass, arguing her backgrounds not relevant kamala will say, well, did you know that i grew up in a middleclass family very nice lawn back there in berkeley, california is like, well, that might be true. What the hell is that have to do with lowering inflation all right, joining us now, national political reporter for the hill, julia manchester. Julia, good morning struck a little bit by j. D. Vance, who has made quite a bit out of his a very humble beginning and his own political story in terms of leveling that criticism at Kamala Harris. But look big picture, this is the issue that voters say that they care the most about. And harris went to pittsburgh to lay out this plan in the heart of the Rust Belt. Obviously affected by manufacturing, their plans are in fact very different because Donald Trump is out theyre pitching these heightened tariffs. What are we seeing out there this week looks so you have Donald Trump like he said, talking about foreign competition and us not bowing to that foreign competition. Then, but harris seems to have much more of a domestic Focus Plan to talking about building out the Middle Class, talking about raising taxes on corporations are people making over 400,000 . So definitely pushing that message. I dont think thats necessarily new, but i think there are a lot of questions still about her economic plan. A lot of this could depend on who controls the house and the senate and how she hed be able to get a lot of this stuff through congress. But overall, kasie, i think this comes as youre starting to see maybe the gap between Harris And Trump on the economy start to narrow. This is an issue she that trump and republicans have generally leaned on bud of recent apnorc poll shows her starting to close the gap maybe two or three points behind him theyre so i think shes really trying to drill in on that message as shes going to face more questions about this plan. But one of the things we Saw Julia was that they put out this policy book. Its like at some pages this as long which im sure we will now hear them say if theyre faced with criticism of not having policy pleasant, theyll point to and say, hey, here it is do you think voters are going to buy that because you mentioned the polling that says that this gap may be closing on the economy. What are the other things we heard from voters after the debate, for example, was we wont know more about what she would do exactly and pointing to that book while thats great, they need to go into detail and they have to come up with a clear and concise message that voters are going to be able to essentially digests. And right now, i think theres still a lot of questions im only about our policies, but also the state of the economy. You have the biden administration repeatedly talking about lowering Unemployment Rates and the fact that Inflation Hasnt ticked down the problem is though there is still this perception among americans that the prices of goods and services are still high, so still some skepticism there and on the Tariffs Question for Donald Trump. I mean, he was criticized in all Street Journal Yesterday for threatening these John Deere tariffs. Is this effective there are a number of economists several economists who have come out against that, saying that putting tariffs on these companies could end up with a number of companies rising prices on their services and their goods which could impact the american consumer. So i think there is certainly some skepticism to that plan. Youre starting to see like he said, more economists coming out against that. You have harris talking about that quite a bit. So i think there are some questions about that on that side as well. Alright, julia manchester, getting us started this morning, julia, thank you. Appreciate it. Alright, up ahead here on cnn this morning, were going to continue to bring you the latest on Hurricane Helene. That storm is quickly intensifying. Its expected to make Landfall Tonight as a category four plus the Harris Campaign releases a new Ad Taking on Donald Trumps false claims about haitian migrants, the impact that could have in the critical Sun Belt State of Nevada And Israel striking hezbollah targets overnight as the u.

Youre looking live at crystal river, florida as Hurricane Helene barrels toward floridas big ben, The Storm is expected to make landfall as a major hurricane later on today, were gonna be watching this throughout the morning as residents there start to evacuate. But for the moment, lets turn to this story. The united states and its western allies calling for a temporary halt to the fighting between Israel And Hezbollah before an all regional war erupts put out a statement 21 Day Ceasefire along the israeli lebanese border youre able to generate significant support from europe as well as we have. Before the war. Now, wide israel has been Pounding Dozens of hezbollah targets in lebanon overnight. More than 500 people have been killed since monday, including dozens of women and children the israeli Resort Town of Eilat Coming Under Fire two drones apparently they launched from iraq, one of them injured two people, the other was intercepted while the west tries to negotiate a ceasefire, israels military Chief Signaling a different approach the goal is very clear to safely return the residents of the north to achieve that, we are preparing the process of a maneuver, which means your military boots, your Maneuvering Boots will enter Enemy Territory alright, lets go live to london where we find cnns Max Foster. Max, good morning. Always good to see you that seemed to indicate that in israeli Ground Operation in lebanon is certain hear how does this potential 21 Day Ceasefire proposal play into that well, netanyahu is clearly taking it seriously, because he appears to be heading to New York to discuss it after the u. S. And its allies came up with that, well have to see what sort of conditions he would attached to any sort of deal with hezbollah and we dont know what hezbollah thinks of it either. But suggestion being that netanyahu would expect some sort of tie in really with whats happening in gaza. Because as he said throughout his priority is getting the hostages back so will it be will this Lebanon Deal . This has Bullet Deal be tied to hostages, in which case it would be a very complicated deal. We dont know quite what shape it will be. But when you hear that general, a top general saying something like that to us, troops and also the military distributing that message as well. Its pretty clear what they got in mind, and ill be there has to be a very quick deal which will be a very complex deal for that to be prevented. It feels like although some people suggesting that maybe netanyahu in the military are posturing just to get the best type of deal when he gets to New York yeah. Its im glad you pointed that out because were seeing that because they they want us to see it, right. I mean, that message was as much for us if its not entirely as it was for those, those troops that you see listening to him in that frame briefly, max, were also reporting that zelenskyy is going to make this really urgent Inperson Plea to president biden Vice President harris hes of course, here around the un general assembly. Ukraine is bracing for the possibility that Donald Trump might win the election in that would fundamentally change hinge how the west is interacting with his, his country. What do you expect from that what is an urgent plea . Because hes really against the clock here hes working with a president who is currently very sympathetic to ukraine and he is not going to be in power in november. And as you say, Donald Trump might be in power and its just not clear how he will deal with ukraine despite all the words weve seen, theres still a lot of clarity about exactly what hes going to do. So in this urgent meeting as we understand it, hes going osprey immediate help as much help as possible before the election, but also some guarantees about what will be in place after the election if there is a change in partys in Power Youll know better than me whether or not Donald Trump could unravel those sorts of guarantees. But thats certainly what zelenskyy he is after yeah, we certainly think hes going to try Max Foster for us this morning. Max,
