right in the path of hurricane idalia, which is now a category 2 storm, a strengthening category 2 storm. it's got wind speeds of 105 miles per hour. it's expected to get up to 110 miles per hour, maybe 115. it will make landfall it is expected as a major hurricane. it's not the wind speed that is of the greatest concern, though, it's the storm surge expected to be 10 to 15 in some places. including right near in steinhatchee. we are lucky enough to be at a marina right now. it's dark so you can't see it. but we're standing at the docks of the sea hag marina right on the river here. with me is one of the members of the family that operates this marina, chase norwood. great to see you, chase. and also with us is our chief climate correspondent bill weir. chase, you and your family, first of all, thank you for letting us be here tonight. but you have chosen to stay, despite the warnings to leave. >> so this marina is pretty much
the impact. this extremely dangerous hurricane is now a category 2 storm and expected to intensify. one of the greatest threats is a storm surge. perhaps it's 15 feet high in florida's big bend region. officials there say it could be a once in a lifetime event. florida's governor warning that now is the time to get out. mandatory evacuations are under way in county after county. thousands of national guard members have been activated. we are monitoring it all. i'm kaitlan collins, and this is "the source." hurricane idalia is intensifying very rapidly tonight, now packing winds of 105 miles per hour. the eye of the hurricane is now 155 miles or so southwest of tampa and moving north. it is expected to slam into florida as a category 3 storm by early tomorrow. governor ron desantis is warning
less people who didn't evacuate and could experience that? >> i was thinking, most of this is wildlife management area. the animals, all the wildlife that is going to start to be hopefully running away from that surge. it's going to be a sad scene for a lot of people, i'm afraid. 105 miles per hour right now. i'm sure that this has gone up since the last pass from the hurricane hunter aircraft. we'll keep you up to date on that. every time we get a new pass in, the numbers have been going up. when speed, the pressures have been going. down look at the eye right. now we have not had an eye all day, but about an hour ago the i pop which means the storm is now breathing and is a leave living thing not just storms bouncing off each other. the rapid rotation around the eye, the lift in the sinking air in the middle of the eye, this is how a storm storm rapidly intensifies. just what we anticipated but didn't see all day. now it's happening. one more thing that is
hurricane center. let's go to chad myers right now. chad, what is the latest track? >> john, 105 is the wind speed going to 111, which would make it a category 3, major hurricane. track hasn't changed much. there was a wobble in the path hour or two. and if you're keeping score at home, you could see that wobble. it did try to jog toward land, but then it went right back to where it was. this happens all the time. kind of like a top that has too much weight on one side. it doesn't want to spin all the way around. and so you get those wobbles every once in a while. right now what you're seeing, john, way up here is a wind that is still offshore. so for tampa, still offshore. so you almost have a negative storm surge right now. but when you take the center of the eye and you move it over your latitude, all of the sudden the southern half is when the wind is coming in from the west and will push that water towards you. here is the center of the eye.
