And as we send it back to charlie here one of the biggest concerns here, charlie, lonnie mentioned, irma is bigger than andrew, but also andrew cut straight east to west and irma is going to go south to north, just rake the entir state of florida, if this track holds, and thats why theres so much concern. Charlie . Jeff, thank you. Florida governor rick scott joins us now from the south Florida WaterManagement Center in West Palm Beach. Governor, good morning. Good morning. I want everybody to listen to the Evacuation Orders, charlie. We have got to everybody think about your family. I love my family. I want my family to be safe. I want to protect them. I think about that with the state. So if theres Evacuation Orders in your area, you have to listen to them. What is the latest you can tell us about the expectation when the storm hits and the devastation from it . Well, heres whats different between this and andrew. This is bigger than andrew, and were going to have way more storm surge. Were going to start seeing hurricaneforce winds tonight in the keys, and it looks like if you follow the track, its going to come up the middle of the state. A slight move, decide its going to the west coast versus the east coast and said all along. Dont be complacent. Not exactly sure where it will go. Listen to the Evacuation Orders. Think about your life, your fam lice life, but 5 to ten feet of storm surge in the southern part of the tate, thats going to cover homes. Were not a high state. We dont have mountains in the state. Think about, if youre close to the coast, the storm surge can be devastating. We didnt have that in andrew. Totally different than andrew. Well have horrible winds but the storm surge that really worries me. Governor, were reporting and i know youre concerned about this as well, you have gas stations in miami, Fort Lauderdale, 40 , 50 alre
