hurricane, as you just mentioned, is no different. we know exactly why they're doing this sean. we are headed towards a midterm election where they are desperate to get their base inspired in any way possible because they have failed epically on every possible front for the american people. so they're now trying to claim that one of the quietest hurricane seasons in 30 years is somehow due to climate change. i'm still trying to connect the dots there. by the way, this was a big hurricane, it was a category 4 storm. i grew up in wrightsville beaming north carolina. i saw plenty of hurricanes growing up. when i was just a baby in 1984, hurricane diana came through, hit my home. that was a category 4 storm. i have been through many hurricanes. i remember my mom, as a very little girl, she told me watching an oak tree in her front yard in north carolina when hurricane hazel came through, category 4 hurricane. we have seen this time and time

and what parts of south carolina do we have to worry about? >> yes. yes. savannah, charleston all those places, i think they're going to get hit by a hurricane. and the compounding problem with the storm surge is the pre-existing water piling up. i'm sorry i'm so animated about in. >> sean: no, i know, for those that don't know, joe is a storm chaser, he eats, breathes and sleeps this, knows every storm -- what was the name of the hurricane, the biggest hurricane in the 1920s? quick quiz? >> i'm not sure 1920, but i know about the -- i don't think there was a big hurricane in 1920, how about that. >> sean: how about 1926. >> one year there wasn't a big hurricane. well, the 1920s window window had a lot through southern florida, 1929 cape hurricane, and 19 27, that went into savannah after hitting south florida. look at that déjà vu. >> sean: joe bastardi weather bell.com. thank you. we have now break developments across the state of florida now

bringing down power lines. so that is also something that they're having to deal with out here. it is certainly a troubling situation out here. things do seem to be getting better, but they are not out of the woods just yet here in sarasota county. sean? >> sean: all right, thanks for that charles, we appreciate it. tonight also at this hour as millions from florida are suffering from the devastating impact of hurricane ian, the president of the united states, well, he's enjoying a lavish democratic fundraiser. he pretty much ignored the hurricane all day and instead earlier he spoke at a pre scheduled white house conference on hunger and nutrition. now the conference honored the late congresswoman, jackie walarski who helped organize the event. she died in a tragic car crash in august. at the time of her death biden ordered flags to be lowered at half mast, released a heart felt tribute to the long serving

hours ago, so still dealing with hurricane force winds and it's about half way through the peninsula of florida before it will eventually tomorrow exit the east coast and get back out towards into the atlantic. but a lot of rain here and it's primarily throughout this evening going to be focused on that i four corridor, so we're going to be watching significant flooding there, with that flooding more power outages, because it's also still real windy and the ground in florida is really saturated. they have had a really couple of wet months so the ground is saturated allows trees to topple over quickly and take a look at this, massive power outages going on. last i looked over 1.6 million households. hurricane warns still in effect all the way across the eastern side of florida, came on so strong that it's still going to be hurricane when it exits. take a look at this, little farther towards the north, talking about t.w. shannon warnings at least, because we are going to see a second land fall of this storm sometime friday night, somewhere around the georgia or south carolina coastline as a very strong t.w.

again. you look at 2005, that was such an active hurricane season, we went through the entire alphabet and had to start over again because we had so many named storms. so somehow trying to draw together the fact that we have a big powerful hurricane and convincing people that climate change is something they need to drop everything and run to the polls and vote on november 8th for, of course, totally ridiculous. i would like to suggest, as you have all night, sean, that if your audience cares, like these folks in the main stream media should care, they can go to florida disaster fund.org to help out with the rescue efforts. that's what they should have been talking about. >> sean: lara great point. the guy we're looking at in the video that's not a very good idea if you're in the path of the hurricane. not a smart play p governor let me go to you, climate alarmism is on full display every day isn't it? because when joe biden became president, we were paying a a little over $2 a gallon for

eastward towards the east coast of florida. then it goes into, what, jacksonville, ponta vedra then where from this savannah up to charleston, south carolina? >> well, the center doesn't go in there. you know, i can't add to what the outstanding people before i came on have said about what it's going to do. what will happen -- up into the florida coast. what the concern has been and what we've been trying to tell people is, that northeasterly wind that's ramming 30-40 miles an hour into the northeast coast of florida already is piling water up. what happens when the system gets offshore and is a hurricane again and comes northward? then you'll have the storm surge from that coming up the coast. in the meantime >> sean: we have to move on but i have a quick question. north of jacksonville, because it will go to jacksonville after it gets out of central florida, then does savannah have to worry

these countries combined and it would be good for national security, it would create high-paying career jobs, it would lower the inflation rate, lower the price at the pump, lower the price to deliver goods to every store we've purchased products in. why aren't we doing that? why are they buying into this? >> sean we have to understand that for the people on the far left, this whole idea of the climate and climate change, it's not a political issue. this is their religion. they are what romance chapter one versus 25 talks about in the new testament. they worship and serve the created things rather than the creator and we have a group of people that are oblivious to the fact that we haven't had a major hurricane in two years. they look at this one as if it is a 1-off event that is just did beginning of the apocalypse. it's horrible. by the way what a great job you've done tonight. some of the defendants you've had have given some of the best

have our fox news chief meteorologist rick reichmuth with us. rick this has been rough so far. >> really has. three things, the storm surge that broke records in fort myers and naples as well by a lot by the way, three feet higher than we had ever seen from any kind of storm surge in the past. that obviously causing all that flooding right along the immediate coast. then we have the winds, actual verified winds of 140 miles an hour in cape corral. a lot of this wind was really prolonged because it's such a slow-moving storm and then you have the rainfall. because it's so slow we get rainfall that just continues to batter the state and we'll see big time inland flooding concerns. this made land fall in the exact same space that hurricane charlie came on shore in 2004 which is amazing to have two massive hurricanes or two strong hurricanes like this come on shore in the exact same spot, hard to imagine, because it came on so strong, it's still a category 2 hurricane after having made land fall around six
