Tonight, massive evacuations are underway, is now a category five Hurricane Milton takes aim at floridas West Coast by Source Tonight is the mayor of tampa, but they blunt warning for those who are staying behind plus Vice President harris is kicking off a Media Blitz. What she just said it a new Interview Tonight about firing that glock that she owns. And his israel is marking a somber for anniversary, the number of antisemitic incidents here at home is off the charts. Were going to bring the latest data to tonight. Im kaitlan collins, and this is the Source Debris from hurricane helene. Tonight, florida is now bracing for another monster storm hurricane. Milton is barreling toward floridas West Coast with winds that are up to a mindboggling 180 miles per hour. This storm has exploded from a tropical storm to a category five in just 24 hours milton, as it is turning over that very warm water in the Gulf Coast right now is more powerful lin, any storm on this planet this year. Millions of people across the Tampa Bay Area are being warned to get out now most floridians, as we can see, are following Suit Jamming the highways and rushing to safer ground officials. There are preparing for one storm as some residents and other states are still unaccounted for after helene, which has now killed 235 people in total. You would think that sobering number would encourage World Leaders to stick, to encourage our leaders here to stick to the facts given how many lives and livelihoods have been shattered but Donald Trump has continued to push outright false information, which Vice President Harris Today blasted, is irresponsible theres a lot of this this information being pushed out there by the former president about what is available. Its extraordinarily irresponsible. Its about him, its not about you and the reality is that fema has so many resources since that are available to folks who desperately need them as harris was telling reporters about What Fema is offering to those who are affected by these storms. She was also asked about reports that floridas republican governor is dodging her calls reporting Governor Desantis is ignoring your calls on hurricanes resources, and help how does that the situation here else should really be the moment that anyone the later because theyre going to put politics aside people people are desperate need of support right now and playing political Games Moment in the rights of emergency utterly here and it is about political okay. That is doing the job that you put people first now Governor Desantis denied those reports and we are just learning tonight. He did speak with President Biden a short time ago as hes made clear, his state has gotten what it needs from the federal government i didnt know she called me. I saw that, but i was not aware of that the president has approved of what we asked for. Were thankful for that. Everything weve asked for from President Biden, he is approved well have more on that. And the misinformation that weve been seeing spread by some officials today. But were going to start tonight with a live update on when and where milton is expected to strike. I want to get right to cnns chad myers, who is in the Cnn Weather Center in chad. This became the strongest storm of the year anywhere on the globe. It just took a matter of hours what can you tell us about how strong it is right now and where its headed in florida extremely warm water. Heres the yucatan peninsula, heres the bay of campeche. This is the gulf of mexico. Hundred and 80 mile per hour winds around the center of the core. Now, what i can find right now because we have a Hurricane Hunter Aircraft in it at this point, its not getting any stronger than i maybe thats maybe tongue in cheek, but it is not it has been getting stronger, had been getting stronger all day long, hour by hour. It got bigger and bigger and bigger. Now at least its flattened out. And hopefully by Morning Itll flatten out some more. But from 50 to 180 miles per hour in 36 hours tropical storm warnings, Hurricane Warnings are already posted and Youll Notice that Hurricane Warnings are almost All The Way to the East Coast of florida because Hurricane Conditions will be there. Were going to have major winds, major Hurricane Wins in this entire purple area from Fort Myers All The Way up toward the last Hurricane Hit and hurricane winds All The Way across orlando though, to the East Coast. The surge is going to be a big problem. This storm is going to carry 15 feet of search, and thats a problem because weve talked about the damage we saw the damage from the last storm and the surge with that storm was only six and seven even on up to where it was really bad, cedar key, nine, but now were talking ten to 15. I know youre going to talk with the mayor of tampa. This is a big concern of his All The Way from denied and All The Way down to Fort Myers. This is going to be a major slosh of the ocean ten to 15 feet deep and some of those Barrier Islands are not going to be recognizable yeah. Its just a scary prediction. Obviously, well be watching it all closely. Chad myers, well continue to check back in with you as youre watching this. Thank you. Of tampa, florida, jane castor, mayor castro. Its great to have you here. I know you have a lot going on what is your number one message to tampa Residents Tonight . The number one message as it has been for several days now, is that you need to prepare do whatever you need to do, and then get out of the Evacuation Zones, which now are Evacuation Zone a and b and as we all have heard, so many times now you hide from the wind and run from the water and we are talking about right now the possibility of a direct hit with ten to 12 foot tidal surge. Put that in perspective, hurricane helene, which just left the Tampa Bay Area we could go, there was six Foot Storm Surge and that was literally devastating to so many in our coastal area. We have 126 miles of coast just in the city of tampa. And some people need to be heeding that warning and from the looks of traffic on all of our north found highways, theyre doing just that. Yeah. Weve seen how jammed up those highways are. I know a lot of the tolls have been suspended to help facilitate people getting out of there. What would you say to People Tonight who were saying, you know what . Im going to ride this out. Ive read anothers out what would you say to people who arent heeding those Evacuation Orders . Well, i can tell you right now that they may have done that and others theres never been one like this and this Helene Elaine was a wakeup call this is literally catastrophic and i can say about any drama to station whatsoever. If you choose to stay. And what are those Evacuation Areas you are going to die wow. I mean that is an incredibly blunt message and i know you have a lot of experience dealing with these storms. You dont say something like that lightly. There ive never said that. In ten to 12 foot surge. I mean, if this takes a jog to the south thats going to save us from the Storm Surge. But it stays on the track that its projected to be on right or if it goes a Bi T helene the aquafence as its known to stop the Storm Surge and it worked. But but from what i read, it said it can only stop out 15 feet of water. Are you worried that may not be enough for this storm . I am worried about that, but it worked before that. Its not on a kind of an island its on an island. Davis islands. And of course that hospitals close to 100 100yearsold was built there, wouldnt be built there under current conditions. But that aquafence really save that hospital. So hopefully the engineering behind it continues to work where the weight of the water holds the fence down and keeps the water from coming in. But it is rated for 12 feet. So if we he hit the Storm Surge, is that high tide hopefully that fence will hold and the surge will just go over the top of it well see what happens with that. Yeah. But they have all the patients are up higher on higher floors. But it certainly would take out the electricity, the generators, and so forth at that location may or youre dealing with such serious matters here, having to move Hospital Patients to higher floors in case of a big Storm Surge, closing the tampa international airport. Obviously, a very busy airport. So many steps that youre taking and delivering this blunt Message Tonight I cant believe i have to ask this, but i do want to ask you if the misinformation that weve seen about storms and the federal response is getting in the way actually an affecting your Disaster Response as a City Official its not, that is just all noise out there. And it it really is sad that individuals would stoop to that level. Its to bring politics into something like this. Kevin guthrie the Emergency Manager they are on top of it everyone is working together to make sure that we keep our communities as safe as we possibly i can during this event yeah. Just seeing how urgently youre working to clean it from one storm and prepare for the next mayor. Were thinking of everybody in tampa hoping everyone stays safe. Thank you for taking the time to join us tonight. Thank you, kaitlan. I appreciate it and as weve reported here on the source On Friday, a lot of the misinformation about the federal Governments Disaster Relief efforts is being unleashed by none other than the former president in a new interview on fox news, trump repeated that again, saying at one point that Storm Victims were only getting 700 50 Bucks from fema so were in almost 300 Billion for ukraine and yet theyre offering people 750 for immediate needs for the worst but for the worst hurricane that anybody seen i want to bring in cnns chief media analyst, brian Stelter And Brian that part there at the end. I mean, it is only for immediate needs. Its if you need to get baby formula, water, food. And the next immediate timeframe, if youre one of these people whos had your house completely destroyed by this but this is catching on this 750 thats all of these victims in North Carolina and these other states are getting its just not true, but your explanation took a few sentences and its cheaper and easier for Donald Trump to lie about it thankfully, themis Fighting Back, they have a Rumor Control Page at fema. Gov, but the people who most need to read it are the ones who wont believe it. And this is the unfortunate result of decades and decades of lying about government, of Eroding Trust in institutions. Of course, we should all be skeptical of the government. We should all hold government accountable. But theres been so much destruction of Truth And Trust that were at the point now where people would rather believe anonymous, probably foreign Propaganda Actors on x, then they would act actually believed their local Government Officials. But theyre looking at actual Government Officials who are also spreading this. I mean, its marjorie taylor greene, the congresswoman from georgia has posed it was posting that week they were they do control the weather vane, control the weather posted this tonight. This meme or not even a it says they Cant Control the weather and then she listed which of patents underneath it as if that is evidenced that someone is controlling the weather. And i think some people might see this and say, oh, Thats Marjorie Taylor greene. Of course. Shes spreading conspiracy theory. There is a very famous meteorologist in alabama, james span. Everyone follows him. Everyone looks at him when somethings happening that he had to post earlier today because essentially, please stop sending me these conspiracies about the government controlling the weather and they created this hurricane because all that garbage is overwhelming. His inbox and he Cant Help share what his true meteorologists including Government Meteorologists at the national hurricane center, are going to save lives in the next few days. And marco rubio, the senator from florida who On Friday was tweeting about the fake jobs report, sowing doubt about the government statistics today, he is imploring his constituents to believe the government forecasts to take the Government Information seriously, to believe the government data what a difference three days makes from marco rubio. And he is supposed to be one of the more responsible ones. I think thats ultimately what so far frustrating here. Kaitlan, as we see these Government Forecasters and these broadcast meteorologists trying to save lives. I spoke with a person Donald Carolina on saturday, a public Information Officer and Rutherford County who said that debunking all these lies has Quote Consumed Resources that could have been more effectively utilized in the Recovery Efforts what im afraid is that we are seeing the same thing now with Hurricane Milton. Were seeing the same lies starting to spread. And were going to see an actual Human Toll as a result yeah, its a scary thought as were watching all of this, brian stelter, thank you for keeping up with that up next, Vice President harris just appeared on 60 minutes where she was pressed on immigration and she also revealed more for about that gun that she owned including the time when she has fired, it will bring you that here in a moment.

Southern suburbs in this is cnn Tonight Vice off a Media Blitz and immediately was pressed in a new 60 Minutes Interview on cbs about the biden administration S Handling of the Immigration Crisis the policies about fixing a problem, not promoting a problem. Okay. But by members did quadruple the Numbers Today because of what we have done we have cut the flow of illegal immigration by half. Should we have done that tunnel by half . But we need congress to be able to act to audie get straight to my political sources tonight, including a member of congress who is here with us congressman ro khanna. You were listening to that interview, that answer there. Do you think she answered that question in the right way . Thats sufficient to voters who do have questions about why the biden administration didnt act sooner for so shes taking the tough questions and three followups heres the reality the President Biden came to congress for a comprehensive Immigration Reform on Day One of his presidency. Now he waited for three years because congress didnt act. You can argue, well, maybe he should have done it sooner, but the problem was he wanted congress to go first and he was really hoping to get a bipartisan deal and of course that bipartisan deal that was later crafted trump saying, which is what she often points to but but kevin, when you look at that and that answer, i mean immigration is one of the number one concerns voters have and trump often does better in polling than she does on this issue. So i think it is a question of how she talks about this on the campaign. And i think thats right. And i think one of the reasons that trump wins on this issue is because he has such resolve he has such a calcified opinion about what exactly he thinks is wrong with the border and how hes going to fix it. Oftentimes we all agree that he fall short on specifics on the policies on that, but because he has so has such its resolve. Thats why he wins. I think one of the problems with the answer that Vice President harris has here, and shes had this in many of her interviews, is that she comes off as very irritated by even seeing the questions, by even having the field the questions. And then as a result, i think shes sort of kind of meanders a little bit and ends up spending more time im explaining rather than really focusing on the hard truths that are the policies that she hopes to bring to fix the problem. And so i think she is lulac she lacks and ability to really gain some credibility with voters by approaching it that way is that how you saw it, sara, that she was a little defensive on the question. I do. This is not her winning issue. Her winning issue is womens rights and abortion. And so anytime she gets the chance to talk about that, you can see her light up. She has a personal story to tell about it and to including what inspired her to go after this issue as a prosecutor, shes obviously winning in terms of the polls with women right now. So thats where she feels most comfortable. I think one of the other issues though with that question is that shes constantly be sort of being asked to go so through congress or she mentioned, well, this is an issue that were going to have to work through congress, but her Track Record in her relationship of getting things done through Congress Isnt so robust. Its not something that we hear about a lot. You dont hear people on The Hill talking about how closely theyre working with Kamala Harris, or how closel
