Save lives. And the latest forecast and evacuations ahead of The National Weatheather Sere will be here and we will have reports from Florida Plus the new bombshell, Bob Woodward, book, americans leaders as weve never heard before, trumps secret shipments to Vladimir Putin is multiple conversations with the russian leader since leaving office. Former british prime Minister Boris Johnson is here and will react and Vice President Kamala Harris asked what you would do differently from biden earlier today, the nonanswer that perhaps fail to seize the moment in the media. In the middle of a Media Blitz im Jake Tapper and we are tracking what could become the worst storm to hit Floridas Gulf Coast in more than a century, Hurricane Milton is a powerful category four hurricane right now it is teetering On The Edge of becoming a category five. And is forecast to make landfall after midnight tomorrow night, just south of tampa where it could unleash record unsurvivable Storm Surge Milton is expected to weaken slightly before landfall, but it is also expected to double in size, meaning disastrous impacts will reach far beyond the West Coast of florida. More than 20 Million across the strait state are currently under flood watches Heavy Rain across central Florida Tomorrow could bring lifethreatening and catastrophic flooding this is a live look right now, a traffic heading north. Officials are literally pleading with people in Evacuation Zones to leave. Listen to this stark warning from the mayor of Tampa Dramatization whatsoever, if you choose to stay and what are those Evacuation Areas, youre gonna die youre going to die. The mayor says more than 1 Million people so far have been ordered to evacuate and tankers are coming to refill the Gas Stations running out of fuel because because of all the evacuations, president Joe Biden is sending the same urgent message as that mayor as he postponed his upcoming trip abroad to oversee Hurricane Response orders, you shouldnt evacuated. Now. Now now i should have already evacuated its a matter of Life And Death let us begin with cnns boris sanchez, who was on treasure island, florida. Thats on one of the Barrier Islands in the tampa St Tampa St. Pete area, boris, what are you hearing from residents and officials as this may major hurricane gets closer and are locals heeding the warnings and getting out of town here locally, at least on treasure island, are hearing and heeding those warnings. Local officials, ive been talking to all day have been sounding the alarm, telling folks that if they are going to leave, now is the time to get and i was speaking to a resident here earlier on treasure island. This is a small community, fewer than 10,000 people, mostly a Tourist Destination about their concerns. One of the residents in the building behind me was talking about potentially riding out the storm there chief concern is this the piles and piles of trash that go for entire neighborhoods. There is is scattered. Would a Water Heater Refrigerator filing cabinets sharp pieces of metal and with a Storm Surge that could hit up to 15 feet high, an added foot of rainfall more or less, and at least 125 mile an hour winds that are forecasted at landfall. All this stuff as one resident told me, could become a missile, countless missiles is the way that matt described it. He wrote out helene hear the chief concern here is is that its not just the stuff that scatter around the block, jake, i want to show you something alarming. There are piles of trash, just like this enormous one, almost 20 feet high all across the western coast of florida. Local officials have done everything they can to get them out, but they are still around an in the area. And that is why that gentleman that i spoke to matt, the resident that got chest high water during Hurricane Helene and was able to get out is not taking any chances. Heres more of what he shared with me we dont know where its going to hit at might hit here, might hit south, might hit north and it looks like its going to be devastating, particularly for buildings like this, because hes are not Hurricane Proof buildings still out there it has been picked up. Hes going to turn to the missiles are gonna be, theyre gonna blow this way below that way we dont know whats going to happen. These things, sorry so yeah, its not good people around here. They need to get out of here. Well someplace else. Its silly to stick around here its not worth it a few jake, im glad to report that a few moments ago, i spoke to the couple that was considering staying and they told me that theyre actually getting out now theyre making final preparations there is little doubt that this area is going to be remade by the storm. And the potential for catastrophe is very high, jake, all right. Boris sanchez in tampa. Thanks so much. Appreciate it. We want to show you the strength of Hurricane Milton from the air right now. This is new video from a aboard one of the Hurricane Hunter planes that flew into the storm earlier today, you can see the plane shaking dramatic dramatically, lots of equipment is being tossed about go to Cnns Hurricane Headquarters where we find Meteorologist Chad myers. He is closely tracking the status of this monster. Chad, what is the latest forecast both Ladies Forecast is that the airplane that would have created a category five observation left two hours ago and a new one is in back, yet so that is the only reason this Isnt Backup to a category five because theres no ground truth, or air truth, if you will, when the last plane left, it was nowhere near as organized as it is right now. So there is No Doubt in my mind that the plane that just left is on its way. Well probably be here to hourandahalf will confirm that this storm has gotten deeper, has gotten stronger, and the winds have gone up during this day. So the Hurricane Warnings all the way across the state of florida. But clearly the West Coast will be the most devastated because thats where here its going to hit first. And with the Storm Surge, i have not i cant count the number of texts ive had today. Where is it going to hit . And i know theyre talking about the eye itself. But jake, we are going to have category three or higher Hurricane Winds in this entire area. So when you say wheres it going to hit . My answer is yes, it is such a big event for everyone. Look at the size of the Hurricane Force winds rolling across the entire state, power lines, trees will be down over to the state as it crosses. But the big problem and the reason why the mayor of tampa said, you will die is that were going to have ten to 15, 15 Foot Surge. And with the last storm, helene, that storm was seven and look how much damage. Seven did now were going to double that this is going to be devastating. And lets remind everyone that Hurricane Helene is the second deadliest storm in the last 50 years behind only hurricane katrina, chad. Thank you so much. Were going to continue to come back to you this is literally Life Or Death situation in florida. Officials are urging residents and Evacuation Zones, zones leave believe, if youre in an Evacuation Zone and youre watching me right now, turn off the tv and leave cnns Randi Kaye is on the ground with a look now at how the state is preparing for Hurricane Milton while still recovering from Hurricane Helene . This, may be the worst storm that weve seen in 100 years to hit west Central Florida the West Coast of florida has barely cleaned up from Hurricane Helene as this Monster Hurricane takes its aim at florida, a major Hurricane Hasnt made a direct hit on the town the Bay Area since october of 1921, helene was a wakeup call this is literally catastrophic and i can say without any dramatization whatsoever, if you choose to stay and what are those Evacuation Areas youre gonna die a very real sense of Urgency Leave before its too late. Dont gamble with your life or the lives of your Loved Ones. The time to get out is now this area could see Storm Surge of up to 15 feet you choose to stay and evacuation area. Youre on to die. Roads are clogged as residents. Heed the warnings to evacuate the search for gasoline get more difficult as some Gas Stations here are starting to run out of fuel and for those who are staying a rush on Water Plywood as residents make lastditch efforts to board up businesses and homes. Katie, current and her husband, chris, have lived on siesta key, an Island Off Sarasota for the last 25 years, hsi evacuated for helene, but her husband stayed behind to ride out the storm that night he got no power, he had no phone and we lost touch with him and we found out the next day there was a five Foot Surge of water in the house and he was all night in the Pitch Dark and five foot of water, and he sat there for hours on the top of a neighbors high house until the water went down a little and then went back in the house laid on a wet bed until light came they lost all of their belongings and the house now has to be gutted due to mold in the walls. Now, staring down Hurricane Milton, the couple has still decided to stay this time in a Friends Condo on the ninth floor of a building in downtown sarasota, which has windows was built to withstand a category five hurricane. Now, as this hurricane is barreling down directly on our community, it feels like maybe helene was just a rehearsal for whats to come that theyre talking possible. 15 foot Storm Surge. None of us on in 100 years ive seen anything like this. It is shocking here once again in sarasota, this is some of what were finding on the streets. This is just a pile of debris in a neighborhood. You have a dresser, a vanity thats a refrigerator over here. You have China Cabinet it in some couches and this is why people need to evacuate according to those who the authorities here in this area, of course, and you have that woman, katie caren, who, who, who is now staying on the ninth floor of that condo building. And i spoke with the mayor here of Sarasota Day and she said, even those people our exactly safe because it could take a week to get to them once they lose power and water, jake. Alright, cnns Randi Kaye and sarasota. Thank you so much. Please be safe. Lets bring in ken graham. Hes the director of the u. S. National Weather Service. Mr. Graham, thanks so much for joining us its your agency tasked with Briefing President biden. What did you tell him about this hurricane . I told him that im worried about this 130 years in this job and i ran The National Hurricane Center for four years. And this one gives me a pit in my stomach like very few have. And i told him this is going to be the Big One as what i told the president. So i really stressed what a big impact this ones going to happen the National Weather service is using language such as catastrophic and lifethreatening in hurricane advisories, talk about how intentional that language is and does using that language have more of an impact then when you dont . At different cases where weve used unsurvivable and look catastrophic. We do, its like everything that we can do to let people know how bad this is going to be. And i heard what chad said A Little Bit earlier about it doesnt really matter where that Center Line as it doesnt matter where its going to hit, its going to impact a huge huge part of florida. Think about a hurricane moving across the entire state from Coast To coast. So the impact is going to be huge. We do everything we can not just from a physical science standpoint, what the forecast is going to be, the Storm Surge in the wins but also a social Science Aspect of what words to use to really get the attention we need to get people out of the way where does Milton Rank in terms of the hurricanes that you have seen, experienced, or monitor intensify greater than milton. So even that rapid intensification, just even us as scientists tried to keep up with how Fast Milton was increasing in Wind Speed was just an incredible situation, but its the situations that weve exercise these before. Its always the big storm for florida. We always talked about a storm hitting the West Coast, tampa being the worstcase for florida. And this is one of those cases that that is coming true for me. Looking back in my entire career, three decades, this is right up there. The top couple of storms and i just everybody watching, you know, just weve got to take this serious the Storm Surge of ten to 15 feet in tampa bay. But Hurricane Force winds across the whole state, even inland, youre going to see some big impacts. Theres all that debris from Hurricane Helene in already preexisting on the ground, which has to make this even deadlier yeah. Flying projectiles, you think about the Wind Speed wind itself, really doesnt create a situation that could kill you. But the flying debris can the falling trees that the debris in the air thats what really could be incredibly dangerous. So People Inland that are really looking at staying, you have to look around, you, you have to look and see your situation, your house to make sure youre in a story house. Make sure youre not near those trees. By that debris. Just urging everyone really pay attention. This is the clocks ticking, right . You got today A Little Bit tonight, by the time we get into late Morning Tomorrow well already start seeing the impacts from milton alright. National Weather Service director ken graham.
