Headlines and newspapers throughout the state Screaming Warnings that it is now a race for survival. Time is running out. So use today as your day to finalize and execute the plan that is going to protect you and your family. If you remain there, you could die. My men and women could die trying to rescue you. More than A Million people in nine counties are under mandatory evacuation orders, including in tampa. With forecasters predicting a staggering 15 feet of unsurvivable Storm Surge along floridas western gulf coast. An nbc simulation shows ten feet of water can blow out a full twostory house. And these images from pinellas county, where teams are working around the clock to clear out piles of Debris Left by Hurricane Helene. The Furniture And Trash still lining The Streets of Barrier Islands that could turn into deadly projectiles if theyre picked up by miltons 145mileperhour winds. As lines build at Gas Stations and bumper to Bumper Traffic inches along i75, Emergency Teams are opening Last Resort shelters and Evacuation Zones for anyone who doesnt make it out before landfall. Nbcs Marissa Parra is reporting from tampa for us. Nbc meteorologist Angie Lassman is here in studio. Lets start where you are in tampa, what are you seeing . It looks like a Ghost Town behind you and those obviously businesses boarded up. Reporter yeah, chris. I think that in terms of the question of whether or not people are heeding the warnings, were still trying to fully answer that, but i can tell you right now, this is the most i have ever seen tampa evacuated before. These images, as you mentioned, speaks for itself. This is ybor, a lot of businesses that are now not just completely abandoned at the moment, but boarded up like what you see right next to me. Now, we have seen a lot of people talking about their efforts to evacuate. The difficulties, the concerns across social media, talking to people who are concerned about whether they will be able to get the gas that they need. We have seen that bumper to Bumper Traffic we talked about what the state is doing, will continue to do to try to make that easier. They have talked about how they have suspended tolls, they have opened up the emergency shoulder use, which opens up an extra lane on the highway to make it easier for people to get out to higher ground, whether thats further south or further north, but the gas is still something that we are hearing a lot about. Governor Ron Desantis assures that they have the gas, they are working through the night to supply those Gas Stations so that people can fuel up to get to where they need to go. We not long ago saw plenty of Fuel Tankers ready to fuel up, we spoke to one of those drivers about what he is seeing on the ground. Ill explain more on the other side. The lines are extremely long, but you expect that because the demand has increased drastically. When you go from a station that normally sells 8,000 gallons to selling 40,000 gallons, the demand, you cant keep up. Were doing the best we can to try to keep everybody where they need to be able to evacuate. Reporter there is something, i want to stress this to people, here in florida, there is Zone A, zone b, zone c, Zone A, if you live in Zone A, it is for a reason, it means you are at the highest risk, whatever that might be. It could be highest risk for flooding, for Storm Surge, we know that theyre calling for historic levels, even worse than helene. I have reached out to people that i spoke to ahead of helene, whether it is first responders or people who were or were not evacuating. What im finding, chris, is the same people who did not evacuate from Zone A because of Hurricane Helene, many of them showed me videos of their flooded homes, and while they were inside of them, they all survived, but what im finding is sorry about the noise, what i am finding is not one of those people is remaining for milton. And those first responders, they told me they had a lot of difficulty getting people out of Zone A, they said theyre not finding pushback and theyre finding a lot of empty homes. So were still in the process of trying to figure out who is still here, who is still in harms way. If anyone is watching, having difficulty, remember, uber rides are free to shelters. There is a code, you can find it online and remember, if youre evacuating your home, please remember to move your electric vehicle to higher ground out of the floodwater or Storm Surge risk. That is a fire hazard. Turn off your electrical and gas lines, also a fire hazard. Marissa parra, all very important information, thank you for that. We can show you some of the pictures were getting. This is along i4. Folks heading north, bumper to Bumper Traffic barely moving in orlando. Of course, thats an area where it is projected the path will cut through. We also know that a lot of folks from those a zones that marissa was talking about are finding that they can get some Hotel Rooms in orlando where they think theyll be safer, and so some folks are heading directly there. Obviously a lot of Hotel Rooms, airbnbs in the area around disney and other theme parks. So that is going to continue to be a very congested area. Let me take you over to angie, one of the things we talked about is in that key zone we just heard the reports that, look, if you dont get out by the time Night Fall comes, if you dont get out by the time were getting close to land fall, you need to go to one of those Emergency Evacuation centers. Tell me when landfall is looking like what youre seeing right now. Yeah, so the time is simply put dwindling, chris, for folks to secure their properties and leave. Landfall hasnt changed a whole lot. We changed it a little bit by a couple of hours. Now were talking Wednesday Night around midnight, maybe 2 00 a. M. The impacts, specifically the two things we see here over the next 12, 24, and 36 hours are how massive this system grows, and where that Center Point comes on shore. Those are going to make big differences with the exact impacts that we see. Right now, category 4, 150 miles per hour. 157 is a cat 5, so either way this is a very Strong and powerful system. Now, one thing that happens while a lot of folks were maybe waking up early this morning and getting out the door, we saw an Eyewall Replacement cycle. That means we saw some weakening with the system, it kind of just takes a breath and starts to get its act back together and well see some intensification from now through maybe the next 12 to 24 hours. So maintaining category 4 strength. It is going to enter some really warmer waters in parts of the gulf of mexico, but likely to be a category 3 here as we make as we see landfall getting closer. Midnight, 2 00 a. M. , 3 00 a. M. , somewhere along the West Coast of florida. Notice how expansive this cone still is. We have an area of 40 to 50 miles with that Center Point of where the system comes on shore. That makes a big difference with the exact impacts of how Strong the Hurricane Force winds are. And it makes a big difference when it comes to Storm Surge. One thing that happens when we see the Eyewall Replacement cycles, we see the Wind Field grow. Thats what we note over next 12 to 24 hours. 200 miles now, it almost doubles in size by the time we get to landfall, covering essentially the entirety of the state of florida. This does one more thing. This means a bigger push of water from a more massive storm, shoving all of that water up against the coast. So, Storm Surge warnings, they are expansive. Not just for the West Coast, but also for the east coast, as that system crosses the state. Chris just mentioned, it is going to impact orlando, category 2 strength, and then on the other side of The Atlantic and the winds wrap around and shove the water up to parts of jacksonville and points south of there. Here is what were most concerned about, 10 to 15 feet of Storm Surge around tampa, sarasota, bradenton. We have big concerns with exactly where that center comes on shore. If it is a little farther to maybe the north of bradenton, this is where the worst of the Storm Surge is going to be. Places like longboat key, siesta key, anna maria island, those spots, those are in the Evacuation Zones for a reason. Evacuation a. But notice here as we get into the later parts of thursday, this system is already out over parts of The Atlantic, but we will see plenty of rainfall and big impacts for folks across that region here as we get into at least the later parts of Wednesday Night into the overnight hours and into thursday morning. Heres where were talking about the Center Line coming on shore. The winds, closest to the eyewall, we know this, Strong. 190 miles per hour, somewhere along that range. And, again, where the center of it is going to make the biggest difference of where we see the most destructive winds. Well start to get a better understanding here over the next 12 to 24 hours. Angie lassman, thank you for that. When Hurricane MiltonStorm Surge hits, this is what it could look like in sarasota. Everything in red means more than nine feet of water. All along those Barrier Islands. And this is sarasota today, The Street of a barrier island, still water logged and littered with debris after Hurricane Helene. Joining me now, the mayor of sarasota, Liz Alpert. Thank you for taking the time to talk to us. I know that youre talking to experts of all kinds. What is your biggest concern over the next 12 to 24 hours . Well, i think just what the meteorologist talked about is the Storm Surge that were predicting, or is being predicted to be 10 to 15 feet. And 145mileanhour winds in combination with that. And then all of that debris that youre looking at flying around, floating through the water, acting like a Battering Ram against buildings. And we have worked frantically to get as much of that picked up as we could. But operationally even with bringing in extra help we havent been able to get to it all. This is not your first rodeo, so to speak. I know obviously beyond helene youve been through storms before. I dont think any of us has ever seen anything like this, so let me ask you, first, about life. What is the status as you know of evacuations and what about people who decided to Stay Behind . I dont think a lot of people are deciding to Stay Behind, actually. After having been through helene, and people did Stay Behind, they realized that that was not a wise decision and theyre not doing it again. So, you know, my, you know, our sense is that people are taking this seriously, and they are getting out. So, at least theyre listening to the evacuation warnings. There is preparation and then there is things that you cannot prepare for. So im wondering what you have been able to do that you feel good about and whether you think sarasotas infrastructure, frankly, can survive another monster storm. Well, i mean, i think, you know, of course well survive. But i am truly worried about what we will find on the other side of this storm. There will be a lot of, you know, there will be a lot of homes gone, there will be a lot of infrastructure gone. The sand, we had just renourished the beach two or three years ago. All of that sand was taken away in helene. Thats going to probably be worse. And i just am really worried about whats going to happen. Well, again, the good news is, as you say, people are taking this seriously, the number one thing we hope is that people have gotten to safety or are on their way. Mayor of sarasota, florida, Liz Alpert we wish you well, as well as can be expected under the circumstances. Thank you for taking the time to talk to us. Thank you so much, chris, i appreciate it.

Appearing on a podcast that typically focuses on romance and friendship, revealing on 60 minutes she has a glock and knows how to use it, and suggesting to a daytime audience on The View, if theyre still undecided, they should take a closer look at her opponent. Watch his rallies. He spends full time engaged in grievance about what has happened to him. Right. He spends full time perpetuating lies and misinformation. He spends full time talking about fictional characters, you know. Name calling. A lot of name calling. Name calling and demeaning people, belittling people, but what he does not talk about is you. Voters will see plenty more of harris this week. Just today, that appearance on The View, then Howard Stern and then stephen colbert. It is arguably a high risk, high reward strategy, because despite heavily outspending Donald Trump, two new national polls out today show the race remains deadlocked. A series of unscripted interviews will get her in front of a broad diverse audience. But o
