heading in the direction of orlando and that is just going to pick up and pick up and pick up. so let me just look at the timing here and you see the winds are going to come down as we go forward in time, that is peak winds, but the gusts in orlando, and as you said earlier, all of central florida is under a hurricane warning because even with 65 mile an hour winds, gusts are expected to be in the 70, 80, to 90 mile per hour range. and timing it out, watch this, the hurricane force gusts are in this area here in orange. so i want you to watch the orange and the time here. so here we are at midnight, south of the orlando area at midnight tonight. and the -- by the way, the hurricane force sustained winds are right here. but as we go forward in time, here we are at 6:00 in the morning, in come the hurricane force gusts in orlando and the surrounding area there. and there we go to noon, this thing is crawling up the state. still, hurricane force gusts in central florida. then we go to 6:00 p.m. tomorrow

>> sean: all right, nate, thank you as well. by the way i lived in southwest florida, had a place there for many, many years, i know naples, fort myers, sarasota leading up to tampa very well. the way the track of this storm is, that's the area where it hit very, very hard. fort myers, naples to the south, sarasota to the north and it literally is going right in from the western side of florida and then it's going to make a turn right up that i-4 corridor you hear about every election, right over orlando and then make itself towards the eastern seaboard of florida, that would be ponta ved, r. a, jacksonville florida, that area, and then you have to look at what happens in savannah georgia and moving up to charleston south carolina all the way in this hurricane. look at this, i think that's from the naples fire department. there's a lot of videos, that was under water all day, i believe that is the naples fire department and i've seen pictures like that all day from fort myers, from naples,

concern from the national hurricane center, is that, as the storm moves north, those winds are going to switch and slam the water back into tampa bay. so that's why they have that storm surge alert in effect for the tampa bay area, depends on exactly how that switch happens and how quickly it happens, because it will come flooding back in if the tide happens to be right and the wind shift happens to kind of, you know, make that happen. >> sean: all right, bryan, very informative and helpful. thank you for that report. we appreciate it >> here on more with where this hurricane will be going from here, the founder of weather bell.com, our good friend, also the official meteorologist of the sean hannity radio show joe bastardi is with us. joe, you actually about 24, 30, 36 hours ago said there's a possibility this might come in more south than we think, meaning below tampa. you ended up being right in your call. let's talk about how bad -- >> well we had --

storm surge. tampa experienced it this morning. for example, around 8:00, the tied was beginning to recede from tampa bay. they called the phenomenon the reverse storm surge. when storm winds push water out of the bay, for example, tampa's mccay bay was three feet below expected levels during low tide at 10:30 and the down side of this is when the water comes rushing back at high tied, forecasters were predicting six to eight feet in terms of a storm surge. explain what that is and why that happens and how bad was it? >> well, in the same way that the hurricane pushed water in the gulf up into naples and then up the river to fort myers and in over the islands there, that's the winds pushing the water. well, if the winds are coming off the land in tampa, they're pushing the water out of tampa bay. so that happened, and the
