THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, GOOD BUY.
THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER.
WE HAVE THE TOP OF THE HOUR AND
THE
LATEST ON THE STORM.
AND JUST SO YOU KNOW, THE
CRANES ARE
SUPPOSED TO SPIN LIKE THAT
BECAUSE
THEY'RE BASICALLY WIND VAINS.
THE LOWEST PROFILE TO LOCK IT
DOWN, IT'S
A CRAZY LOOK, LOOK AT THE --
IT'S SCARY.
THEY'RE BALANCED SO IF THEY
SPIN
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO SPIN
THEMSELVES OUT
OF CONTROL.
WHAT THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT IS
THE MATCH
THAT HOLDS THEM, THAT MAY NOT BE
ABLE TO
HOLD THE LOW AND THE CRANE WILL
FALL
SIDEWAYS.
THE CORE OF THE STORM, PLAINLY
IN VIEW,
THE RAIN BANDS STARTING TO COME
ON UPMENT
HERE IS THE CORE OF THE STORM,
AND THIS
LINE RIGHT HERE, THAT IS -- I
WISH I
COULD BACK TO BACK OUT.
I NEED ANOTHER CLICKER.
THE WIND ARE LIGHT IN THE EYE,
AND
THEN -- THAT WAS PERFECT, LIZ,
THANKS.
THIS LINE IS 80 DEGREES WEST.
THERE WAS A TIME WHEN WE WERE
SAYING
LET'S HOPE IT DOESN'T GET TO 80
DEGREES
WEST BECAUSE THE FEAR WAS IT
WOULD BE
HERE AND THEN THIS LINE WE
DIDN'T WANT TO
GET LINE BECAUSE IT WOULD BE
LIKE THAT
AND COME RIGHT INTO US.
BUT IT IS NOW PASSED 80 DEGREES
WEST.
I DON'T NEED IT NOW, THANK YOU.
BUT THE FEAR WAS THAT IT WOULD
COME UP 80
DEGREES WEST NOW IT'S PASSED 80
DEGREES
WEST.
IT WOULD HAVE TO GO DUE NORTH
STARTING IN
A COUPLE OF HOURS FOR THE CORE
TO HIT
SOUTH FLORIDA.
THAT IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE.
I NEVER SAY IMPOSSIBLE WITH
HURRICANE BUT
THAT IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE.
AS WE GO FORWARD IN TIME HERE,
AS THAT
CORE BACK EDGE OF THIS CLEARS 80
DEGREES
WEST, WE WILL START TO FEEL
BETTER ABOUT
THE CORE MISSING US.
NOT THE HURRICANE, JUST THE
CORE.
AND THEN WHAT DETERMINES HOW BAD
OUR
WEATHER IS, IS HOW CLOSE THE
CORE GETS TO
US AS IT STARTS COMING TO THE
NORTH.
SOME OF THE MODELS YOU MAY
REMEMBER
SHOWED AN ABRUPT TURN TO THE
NORTH, SOME
A MORE GRADUAL TURN.
BUT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE KEEPING AN
EYE ON
FOR THE AFTERNOON.
THAT LINE IS 81 AND KEY WEST IS
NEAR 82
DEGREES WEST.
SO THE ARE HOPING TO GUESS PAST
82 AND
SOUTH OF KEY WEST BUT IT'S
STARTING TO
MAKE A INCLUDE FILE NOT FOUND
NORTHWARD
PROGRESS HERE AND IT'S UNLIKELY
THAT IT
WILL MAKE IT PAST.
THE BIG STORY IS THAT THE KEYS,
IS IN THE
DIRECT PATH OF THE CORE THERE
AND THE
REST OF SOUTH FLORIDA IS GOING
TO FEEL
THE HURRICANE SIDE OF THE SIDE
OF THE
HURRICANE.
THERE'S A CLOSE UP ON IT.
THE STORM'S INTEGRITY, THE EYE
HAS KIND
OF A DISTINCT BAND AROUND IT OF
THE CORE
WINDS AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
SEEING.
IT'S GOING OVER THE LAND HERE,
BUT WE'RE
SEEING THAT THE STORM IS STILL
VERY MUCH
INTACT.
THE STORM IS ABOUT 141 MILES
SOUTHEAST OF
KEY WEST AND 124 MILES SOUTH OF
MARATHON
THERE, AND AS WE GO THROUGH TIME
WE'LL
SEE THAT DISTANCE CLOSE AS THE
STORM
STARTS TO MAKE NORTHWARD
PROGRESS.
SO MIAMI-DADE AND BROWARD, QUICK
MOVING
SQUALLS, THESE ARE MOVING 55
MILES AN
HOUR TO 60 MILES AN HOUR.
THESE ARE ZIPPING RIGHT ALONG.
THEY HAVE SOME GUSTY WINDS WITH
THEM AND
SOME POWER OUTAGES WITH THEM.
UPSTREAM NOTHING FOR THE MOMENT.
NEXT TIME SOMETHING POPS UP AIL
I'LL LET YOU
KNOW.
IN THE HURRICANE, GUT THESE
SMALL WATER
DROPLETS OUTSIDE OF THE BANDS,
IT'S CAN
PRODUCE FLOODING, IT IS A LOT OF
RAIN
COMING IN A LOTS A N LOTS AND
LOTS OF
SMALL WATER DROPLETS.
MOVING ON TO THE LATEST UPDATE.
EVERY HOUR, THE NEXT TRACK
FORECAST IS AT
5 P.M.
125 MILE PER HOUR WINDS,
CATEGORY 3.
NOW, WE ARE JUST FIVE MILES AN
HOUR BELOW
CATEGORY 4, AND SO EVERY
EXPECTATION IS
THAT ONCE THE STORM GETS BACK
OVER WATER,
WE'RE BACK UP TO CATEGORY 4.
AND IT MAY BE HAPPENING BEFORE
THE STORM
GETS COMPLETELY BACK OVER WATER
BECAUSE
IT'S SO CLOSE TO THE EDGE THERE
CATEGORY
3 BUT WE'RE EXPECTING CATEGORY4.
THE THE
3:00 NUMBER WE'LL SEE THAT GOING
UP.
LONGITUDE 80, THE CENTER IS PAST
80, AND
23 NORTH WHICH IS RIGHT THERE ON
THE
NORTHERN COAST OF CUBA, 145
MILES AS OF 2
P.M.
ADVISORY SOUTHEAST OF KEY WEST.
THERE IS THE WIND FIELD, IT'S
STARTING TO
COME ON IN TO SOUTH FLORIDA AS
WELL AS
THE KEYS.
AND HERE IS THE CONE, AND THIS,
THIS IS
THE -- I'M SHOWING THE CONE FOR
THE TIME
POSITION.
THAT IS THE SUNDAY MORNING TIME
POSITION.
THE WORST WEATHER COMING THROUGH
THE
KEYS.
AND WE'RE IN PRETTY BAD WEATHER
HERE IN
SOUTH FLORIDA.
THAT'S THE SUNDAY EVENING
POSITION.
[ CAPTIONER TRANSITION ].
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF HOW BAD
THIS COULD BE FOR THE TAMPA BAY
AREA FOR ALL THE COMMUNITIES
ALONG THE GULF COAST, WEST
COAST IT CANNOT BE EXPRESSED
STRONGLY ENOUGH.
IT IS GOING TO BE A BAD EVENT
NO MATTER WHAT, WHAT COULD MAKE
IT WORSE IF THE STORM SPINS
MORE TIME OVER WATER GOING UP
THE COAST, THE WIND GOES AROUND
LIKE THE CIRCLE THERE, THE WIND
ON THE SOUTHERN SIDE OF THE
STORM, THE WIND ON THE SOUTHERN
SIDE OF THE STORM IS PUSHING
WATER AS THE STORM PASSES RIGHT
IN AND WITH GREAT FORCE TOO.
I HEARD SOMEBODY TALK IN MY EAR
I'M NOT SURE I HEARD WHAT THEY
SAID.
IT WAS NOT US.
