QUICKLY IF YOU CAN TAKE THIS
WALL WAS ONLY 15 MILES OR SO
AWAY FROM WHERE THE CENTER IS
THE EYE WALL IS WHERE THE
STRONGEST WINDS ARE IF YOU LOOK
WHERE WE ARE NOW OVER 30 MILES
SO THIS HAS BECOME A BIGGER
HURRICANE WHICH MEANS YOU WILL
HAVE BIGGER BROADER IMPACTS
HERE IN THE COMING DAYS FOR THE
COASTLINE.
NEEDS IT HAS MORE OPPORTUNITY
TO SWEEP THE STORM SURGE AND
HEAVY RAINFALL ACROSS PARTS OF
THE PENINSULA BETTY.
>> Meteorologist: I WANT TO
BACKTRACK A SECOND AND LET
PEOPLE KNOW THE VERY LATEST ON
THE STATS.
THE WINDS OF 120 MPH MOVING
NORTH NORTHEAST AT 10 MPH SO NO
BIG CHANGES WITH THAT AS WE
WORK OUR WAY INTO THE NIGHT.
YOU CAN BRING THE VIEW BACK TO
MICHAEL AND BETTY YOU CAN DO
THAT AND WE WILL KEEP IN THE
MONITOR IS MOVING NORTH
NORTHEAST AT 10 MPH AND WE ARE
TRACKING IT AS IT HAS FOR
LANDFALL GOING TOWARD
WEDNESDAY.
THAT IS GOING TO BE KEY AND
FINE TUNING EXACTLY WHERE IT
RUNS ASHORE.
THE STORY FOR US TONIGHT
MICHAEL HAS BEEN THE TORNADOES.
>> WE’VE BEEN UNDER THE GUN
UNFORTUNATELY TONIGHT IN
SOUTHEAST FLORIDA AND TORNADOES
GENERALLY HAPPEN WITHIN A DAY
OR TWO OF LANDFALL AND HEAD IN
THE OUTER RAIN PANTS AND THAT’S
WHAT WE SING TONIGHT.
THE THUNDERSTORMS AND THE CELLS
CURLING VERY QUICKLY SO IF YOU
ARE GOING TO BED SOON MAKE SURE
YOU HAVE A WAY TO RECEIVE
ALERTS ON YOUR MOBILE PHONE OR

HOURS.
THERE TORNADOES CAN SPREAD

BROWARD OR MIAMI-DADE IN A FEW
MINUTES I WILL GO OVER WHERE
THE TRADERS HIT AND WE WILL
TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE
DOPPLER RADAR MICHAEL.
LET’S GET BACK TO IAN AND WHAT
WE ARE SEEING WITH THE TONIGHT.
I WHAT IT HAS PRODUCED DOWN IN
KEY WEST.
THE THIRD-HIGHEST STORM SURGE
ON RECORD.
>> THIS IS THE REMARKABLE STORM
SO FAR.
REMARKABLE IN ALL THE WRONG
WAYS IT’S BECOME MUCH BIGGER
BUDDY I GOT CLOSER TO KEY WEST
THAN WE EXPECTED IT TO.
THESE ARE THE TIDES SO WERE
GOING INTO HIGH TIDE AND WE ARE
EXPECTING THAT IN THE NEXT HALF
HOUR OR SO.
THE TIDE LEVELS HAVE CONTINUED
TO RISE IN KEY WEST EXCEEDING
TWO FEET.
GOING BACK IN THE RECORD BOOKS
WE CAN GO BACK TO 1913 SO WE
ARE 100 YEARS.
THIS IS THE THIRD-HIGHEST STORM
TIDE, THE STORM SURGE PLUS THE
TIDE RECORDED BEHIND HURRICANE
IRMA AS WELL AS HURRICANE WILMA
IN 2005.
THIS IS A BIG STORM DOWN HERE
THINK ABOUT IT.
IT IS QUITE A WAYS FROM KEY
WEST AND WHAT COULD BE OR WHAT
COULD HAVE BEEN HERE FOR PARTS
OF SOUTHWEST FLORIDA.
>> IT IS LIVING UP TO WHAT WE
EXPECTED IT TO BRING FOR THE
KEYS AND THAT WAS THE STORM
SURGE AND NOW WE WAIT TO SEE
HOW BAD IT GETS ALONG THE
SOUTHWEST COAST.
THE REASONABLE WORST-CASE
SCENARIO UP TO 12 FEET.
>> I THINK IT LOOKS LIKE IT
WILL MATERIALIZE SOMEWHERE HERE
WE BELIEVE SOUTH OF SARASOTA
INTO PORT CHARLOTTE AND FORT
MYERS DOWN TO EVEN PARTS OF
NAPLES.
6 TO 10 FEET AND THE NUMBERS
ARE NEW THIS EVENING.
WE BUMPED THE NUMBERS UP TO
SOUTHWEST FLORIDA DOWN TO MARCO
ISLAND AND WE COULD SEE VERY
LARGE NUMBERS IN TERMS OF THE
WATER.
THE STORM SURGE IS THE COASTAL
WATER AND SEAWATER BUT BETTY
THIS IS NOT JUST A COASTAL
STORY OBVIOUSLY.
WE’VE GOT A LOT TO WORRY ABOUT
ACROSS THE ENTIRE PENINSULA.
AGAIN THINGS ARE NOT GREAT DOWN
HERE IN SOUTHEAST FLORIDA BUT
THINGS COULD BE A LOT WORSE ALL
THINGS CONSIDERED.
OVER TO PETER RAINFALL POSSIBLE
AND THAT EXTENDS INTO NORTHEAST
FLORIDA.
>> WE STILL HAVE RANDY COME
OVER SOUTH FLORIDA.
HE PICKED UP SEVERAL INCHES
TODAY EASILY, 4 TO 6 ALREADY IN
SOME PARTS OF THE KEYS AND WE
MIGHT GET ARICEPT PUSH AROUND
THE FOOT OF RAINFALL WE HAVE A
PUSH OF RAIN BEST OF THE AREA.
IS THAT YOUR LAST GRAPHIC?
I WILL TAKE IT BACK TO MY
SOURCE BECAUSE I WANT TO SHOW
YOU ONE MORE THING WE ARE
BOUNCING AROUND KEEPING IT
INTERESTING AND FRESH FOR YOU
TONIGHT.
DATE AND BROWARD IMPACTS.
I WHAT YOU TO KNOW WE ARE STILL
GOING TO PLAN ON RAIN PANTS
COMING THROUGH AT TIMES AND WE
ARE NOT OUT OF THE WOODS FOR
TORNADOES.
THE WINDS TOMORROW IN DADE AND
BROWARD I’M THINKING SUSTAINED
25 TO 30 WITH GUSTING 40 TO 50
WE MENTIONED THE POSSIBILITY
FOR TORNADOES BUT MICHAEL IS
OVERNIGHT FOR THE FLORIDA KEYS
FOR THE WINDS ARE GOING PRETTY
GOOD.
>> YOU CAN SEE THE HIGHEST
WINDS WE’VE SEEN ALL EVENING IN
THE KEYS ARE HAPPENING RIGHT
NOW.
GUSTING WHICH IS HURRICANE
FORCE WHICH STARTS AT 74 MPH.
A LOT TO WORRY ABOUT IN THE
KEYS AND THE STORM SURGE THREAT
