1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,120 Speaker 1: All right, Lenard Skinner, it's simple man. That can only 2 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:04,920 Speaker 1: mean one thing on this radio program. That's all things 3 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: simple man. Well, self proclaimed simple man Bill O'Reilly is 4 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,400 Speaker 1: with us. By the way, Bill launching his brand new 5 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 1: book today, the latest in his killing series, Killing the Legends, 6 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: The Lethal Danger of Celebrity. This is not going to 7 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 1: be a cupcake interview, but we'll get to that in 8 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 1: a second. Bill, We have covered a lot of hurricanes 9 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: in the course of our career, as Katrina obviously stands 10 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: at the top of the list. I'm talking to my 11 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: friends and Fort Myers. They're sending me video photos of 12 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: how bad this is. The storm surge is literally covering 13 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: all of Fort Myers from as far as the eye 14 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: can see. It's that bad. Have you seen that? Yeah? 15 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: I did. I saw the pictures on TV. And you know, 16 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: there's just one of the risks of living in Florida. 17 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: You're always going to be subject to these tropical storms. 18 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,959 Speaker 1: I just urged people to really just just follow your 19 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: local authorities. I know for some of you it's been 20 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: inconvenient to get out of your house. Nobody likes being 21 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 1: told what to do, but you know, at the end 22 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 1: of the day. We want everybody alive. At the end 23 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 1: of this thing, the cleanup is going to be difficult. 24 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 1: Rebuilding will be difficult. People will lose their homes, but 25 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 1: that can be replaced. Lives can't. Um you know, you 26 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: and I have discussed this a lot in the past, 27 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 1: the lethal danger of celebrity, and you got on the 28 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 1: cover of this new book, and by the way, it 29 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: was riveting to me. I think I read it in 30 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: less than a day. Wow. And I'll tell you what. 31 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: It really caught my interest because number one, I had 32 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: I have a boxing glove signed by Muhammad Ali. The 33 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 1: John Lennon's story is just fascinating to me in light 34 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: of Hinkley, you know, a light of what happened to 35 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: him at the Dakota when he got shot. And I 36 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: watched the movie recently about Elvis, and I was fascinated 37 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: by that movie. I actually watched it twice. It is 38 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: such a tragic story, so sad, and everybody around him 39 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: it seemed like nobody cared about the person, because if 40 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: they cared about the person, he wouldn't have been dead 41 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: at forty two. And I'm not talking about Priscilla. I'm 42 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 1: not talking about but I am talking about other people. Look, 43 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: I wrote this book because it's social history. These three men, 44 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: Elvis Presley, John Lennon, and Muhammad Ali influenced how we 45 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: all live today, how all Americans live today, were influenced 46 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: by what they did. Now, many historians are snobby. They oh, 47 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 1: you're writing about everything. Now, let's talk about Millard Fillmore. Okay, fine, 48 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: you guys do that. I'm in business to basically chrono 49 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: what happens in America. One quick one. So nineteen fifties 50 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: you weren't born yet, but I was here, all right, 51 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: I was a little kid. It was the age of conformity, 52 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: post World War two, Dwight Eisenhower president. Everybody kind of 53 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: looked the same, sounded the same. TV had just come in. 54 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: Everybody watching Milton Burrow. Remember that name, Hannity, Milton Burrow, 55 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: Uncle Milty, Yes, I do, Bill, I'm not. I'm not 56 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 1: that out of touch, and lead it to Beaver and 57 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: Green Acres and the Flying Nun. I'd watched them all. Yeah. No, 58 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: that was after Uncle Milty, until Uncle Milty was first. Anyway, 59 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 1: So the the society of America was a conformist society. 60 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: In the space of eight minutes, that dissolved when Elvis Presley, 61 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: a teenager from Tupelo, Mississippi, went on The Ed Sullivan Show, 62 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: the biggest entertainment show in the world on television. Elvis 63 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: probably saying hound dog. He rides he um by the way, 64 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: there's a word of the day. He rid right, and 65 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: they wouldn't shoot him at Sullivan ordered the cameras not 66 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: to go below the waist because he was wiggling around 67 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 1: and the girls were screaming. Within the space of eight man, 68 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: it's this teenager changes American culture boom. Pastors are burning 69 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: his records. They're saying that Satan is behind Elvis Presley. 70 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: Mothers and fathers are telling their sons, you can't slick 71 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 1: your hair back, you can't wear the leather jacket, you 72 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: can't have that attitude. Who wins that culture war? Elvis 73 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: Presley wins it all right, and the whole culture changes 74 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: into a semi rebellious state. Then sixty four the Beatles 75 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 1: come over. From sixty four to sixty nine, American culture 76 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: changes again. Sex, drugs, rock and roll. It's here now. 77 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: Who drove that? Lennon and McCartney, Magical Mystery Tour. Sergeant 78 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 1: Pepper at the same one irony about Elvis before you 79 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 1: move on to your historical your chronicling of history. Here 80 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 1: the thing that really was mystifying to me and fascinating 81 00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: to me. He learned his style of music in church, 82 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: in African American churches, and that he loved gospel singing. 83 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: He did gospel records, bill he sang religious songs at 84 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: his concerts all the time. How great thou Art was 85 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 1: one of Elvis Pressley's biggest hits, and his roots were 86 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: in the black music culture in the South, and that 87 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: he took that and then crossed over into the music industry. 88 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 1: But what is important about all of this is that 89 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: as huge as Elvis, Lennon and Ali were and they 90 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: were Titans icons, they all were crushed by their celebrity 91 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: and I mean broken, and it led to their demise 92 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: and they were all betrayed. They have so much in common, 93 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 1: which is why I put them on the cover. And 94 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 1: there's one other important thing about killing the legends. This 95 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: today is again influencing how we live because our politicians 96 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: are celebrities and they are undergoing so much in pen 97 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: scrutiny that it's destroying many of them. And people don't 98 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: understand the danger of being a celebrity. Can I tell 99 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: you fast story, Hannity? Of course. So Hannity and I 100 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 1: are together about twenty six years ago in Atlantic Oh no, 101 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: you can't say where we are, you can attic. So 102 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 1: we're doing some promo for the Fox News Channel, which 103 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 1: at that oh no, we were doing David Harrowitz's event, 104 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: whatever it was. We were there because Fox wanted us 105 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: to be there. I wouldn't have been there for David Harrowitz. 106 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: I didn't even know. So Hannah and I are in 107 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: Atlantic City and we're relatively unknown at that point. We're 108 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: on the rise, but there's two Irish guys and we're 109 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: tooling around. So we decide to go to the Tom 110 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: Jones show at one of the casinos in Atlantic City. Okay, 111 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: and we go and we're sitting in the second row 112 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:18,119 Speaker 1: and there's Tom Jones riding around just like Elvis doing 113 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: a show. And then we went out to dinner and 114 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: we had a nice time. Hannity and I could not 115 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: do that. Now we could not go to Vegas or 116 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: Atlantic City, wander around, go to whatever show we wanted 117 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: to go. We couldn't do it because now we're famous. 118 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: Am I correct, Bill. I had tickets to the US 119 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: Open for years, and the last five years I couldn't go. 120 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: I gave up my tickets and I couldn't go because 121 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: I'm not particularly loved in New York. And I just 122 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: I'd rather than, you know, make people uncomfortable with my 123 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: little presence sitting there watching a ball being hit. I 124 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: just I just prefer to to stay back and stay 125 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: out of it. And for five years, I'm paying all 126 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: this money and I'm giving my tickets away. It's a shame. 127 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: And you know what, No, it's not a shame. No, 128 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: no woe is me here. I'm just the one thing 129 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: I say, and you and I have had this discussion 130 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: is fame, I have concluded. And of course I'm nowhere 131 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: near these legends or you know, a goat if you will, um. 132 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: Yet we're not Elvis, we're not John Lennon, we're not 133 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: Muhammad Ali. But we have some degree of either notoriety, fame, 134 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it, infamous, whatever any word 135 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: anyone wants to use. But I get recognized a lot, 136 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: You get recognized a lot. And what I have learned 137 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: and what I believe my heart is it's not healthy. 138 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: It's not most people. I think it way too caught 139 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: up in it. If it weren't for my one belief 140 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: in God and my my blue collar roots of decades 141 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: of my life and in construction and restaurants, UM, I 142 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: could see how this can eat easily destroy people. I 143 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: really can't unless it is hard myself, because I wasn't 144 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: prepared for it when it happened to me, and nobody 145 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: is prepared for it. And even if you surround yourself 146 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: with bodyguards and you live behind walls like Nancy Pelosi, 147 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: it takes a tremendous toll. And I submit to you 148 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: that most human beings cannot handle it. The list, this legion, 149 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: I mean, you just go down the list, Jimmy Hendrix, 150 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: River Phoenix, Kurt Cobain, Princess Diana, Janis Joplin, Karen Carpenter, 151 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: Michael Jackson, Prince Amy Whitehouse. It's the same thing. You 152 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: lose control. Unless you're very, very disciplined and very very astute, 153 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,559 Speaker 1: you lose control of your life. Look Elvis Presley, if 154 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: you look at his nineteen sixty seven special, you talk 155 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: about the movie that you saw. The guy was in 156 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:55,839 Speaker 1: his prime on NBC ten years later, you're looking at him. 157 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: Is this the same human being? Ten years? And then 158 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: this scene in the movie where he passed out on 159 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: the ground and the colonel as they call him, came 160 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: over and said that man must be on that stage tonight, 161 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: and then turned to Elvis's father and said right. And 162 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: then incomes doctor feel Good to give him whatever they 163 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: can give him to get him up and able to 164 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: go out on the stage that night. Is that true? 165 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: It's still Look Parker was a criminal after Presley died 166 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: at forty two. Is a state at a Sioux partner 167 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: to get the money back that he stole from Presley. 168 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,839 Speaker 1: But look at Muhammad Ali. The nation of Islam controlled him. 169 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: Alijah Muhammad and his son Herbert took all his money 170 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 1: and forced him into the ring when they knew he 171 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: shouldn't have fought because the doctor Ferdy Bcheko said, look, 172 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: this guy's almost dead after fighting Joe Frazier in Manila. 173 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: He's almost dead. He almost died. You can't throw him 174 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: in the ring. Four months later, guess who was in 175 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 1: the ring four months later? And then John Lennon what 176 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: happened to him was once he met Yokolono, his whole 177 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: life turned around and he became very isolated, and in 178 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 1: the isolation he becomes a heroin addict. What's that that 179 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,559 Speaker 1: that part I didn't know was confirmed? Is that we 180 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: knew it because we got a whole of his drug dealer. Okay, 181 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:22,199 Speaker 1: du Gard and I and that's footnoted in Killing the Legends. 182 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: But all right, that liabilities on you. I cannot confirm that. 183 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: All right, But listen, this is the twelfth Killing book Kennedy, 184 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: the most successful nonfictional series of all time. By the way, 185 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 1: Bill is now working on killing Hannity for saying that. 186 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: But go ahead, I will tell you. I want to 187 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: serve your compliment here. I'm fascinated by it. I think 188 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,319 Speaker 1: people will be fascinated by it. And you're looking at 189 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,199 Speaker 1: some of the most gifted, talented people you know, and 190 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: the crowds, the adoration that they have, and yet as 191 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 1: as good as that is, and so many people want it. 192 00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 1: You can see them trying out for it on TikTok 193 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 1: and Instagram and Facebook and all over social media. But 194 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: they all want it. But there is a huge downside 195 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: to it, and that's the dark side of celebrity, or 196 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 1: you call the lethal danger of celebrity. Somebody asked me 197 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: today about the Manning family, the football players, and how 198 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: they survived their celebrity, and I said it was a father, 199 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: Archie Manning, who trained his sons, who knew his sons 200 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: were going to be football stars, Peyton Manning and Eli Manning, 201 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: and from day one the parents trained them protected them. 202 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 1: But Ali and Lennin and Elvis didn't have that. They 203 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: didn't have seen anyone looking out for them, and the 204 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 1: same engulfed them and crushed them. And people should know that. 205 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 1: One of the reasons we don't have the leadership we 206 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: should have in America is because the stute, good, honest 207 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: people know they are going to be attacked like crazy 208 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: if they achieve power and fame, and many, many people 209 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: do not want to put themselves through that. And I 210 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: got to correct you on one thing, Hannity, Yes, sir, 211 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: they love you on Long Island. When Annay and I 212 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 1: go out to dinner, it's actually true. And hey, Hannity pays, 213 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,199 Speaker 1: I always pay when we walk in. I think more 214 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: people like you than me, Hannity. I'm jealous. I think 215 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 1: more people. I think that's true. But you tower over 216 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 1: people because you're six foot twenty. You know, it's like 217 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 1: you're the monster. It's just tower overs the room and 218 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 1: you scare people. But love Hannity.

As we have been warning, and our friend 268 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: Joe Bistarti has been warning. Uh, now this this Hurricane 269 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:28,239 Speaker 1: Ian making landfall a little bit south of earlier predictions 270 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: that will be landing just a dead on hit to Tampa. 271 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: Looks more like Fort Myers, although Joe Bistarti been telling 272 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: us it looked a little more southward, uh yesterday, so 273 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: he had picked up on and he's with WeatherBell dot com, 274 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: the official meteorologist of the Sean Hannity Show. Uh, it 275 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: looks from what I can see, and I have friends 276 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: in Fort Myers. They've been sending me pictures, I mean, 277 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 1: entire entire tennis courts with the high fences are underwater. Joe, 278 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, this surge is phenomenal in there. And last 279 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: night on the TV show where you Know, I mentioned 280 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: the eyewall replacement cycle of the storm and what happen 281 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: well the eyewall When I said eyewall replacement as to 282 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,439 Speaker 1: why it intensified again, the eye sort of fell apart 283 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 1: for a while overnight. It's sort of like a fight here, 284 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: taking a break, okay, and then coming back again. And 285 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: it retightened this morning and it is. It is the 286 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:36,159 Speaker 1: Category four hurricane heading just to the north of Fort Myers, 287 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: and of course that means that the entire surge is 288 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: coming in there, and it's not done yet. Naples has 289 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 1: already broken their surge record from previous storms, and that's impressive. 290 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: With Donna and Charlie having gone through there, they've already 291 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: broken it by three or four feet. And the surge 292 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 1: is still coming up in there because the wind is 293 00:17:55,920 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: turning around into the south and southwest. Conversely, Tampa is 294 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 1: getting a strong northeast wind, and the tides right now 295 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: around Tampa. I'm looking at Portmanote in places like that 296 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 1: are two to three feet below normal. I don't think 297 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: they're going to have what they call blowback tide. With 298 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 1: the Erma. You had a blowback tig you remember, Irma 299 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,880 Speaker 1: came up it blew everything out. But when it went by, 300 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,639 Speaker 1: because it went by to the north and northwest, wind 301 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: came back in from the west and southwest blew the 302 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 1: water back into Tampa. So there was some significant flooding 303 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: in this case. This case, Ian is moving northeastward and 304 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 1: tomorrow at this time when I'm talking to you, it 305 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 1: will be near Cape Canaveral, and that means Part two 306 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 1: is on the way and something we've been pushing here 307 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 1: on their show, and I try to get out in 308 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: front of it because I am usually concerned about northeast 309 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,199 Speaker 1: Florida all the way up to South Carolina, the Saint 310 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 1: John's River. I want to outline this, folks again because 311 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: until the hurricane watches, if they go up for that area, 312 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: people aren't paying attention to the magnitude of the problem there. 313 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: If we didn't have Ian hidden where it is today, 314 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 1: the big weather, the big news story Friday and Saturday 315 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: will be what it's doing up the coast when it 316 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: gets there. Saint John's River one to two feet of 317 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 1: rain in the Saint John's River. The river flows north, 318 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: it's flowing into where the storm surge is coming from 319 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: from the northeast right the water's coming back into there, 320 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: and so the city of Jacksonville in that particular area 321 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 1: could be it for a major event. And I expect 322 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,959 Speaker 1: this storm surge even up there to be six to 323 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: ten feet. Now down to Port Charlotte and these other places, 324 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 1: it's twelve to twenty feet. But a six to ten 325 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: foot storm surge on the north coast of Florida all 326 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 1: the way up through Georgia and perhaps South Carolina, that 327 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,199 Speaker 1: is a huge event. And you folks up there, we 328 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 1: want to make sure that you've got this in the 329 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: back of your mind going forward. As far as this storm, now, 330 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,920 Speaker 1: this is going to be breaking away said this. It's 331 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 1: going to be breaking wind records all the way to Orlando, 332 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,919 Speaker 1: non thunderstorm wind records, because you know, you get thunderstorms 333 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: in Florida and you're going to get crazy wind gusts 334 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 1: with them. But I'm talking about the idea of wind 335 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: gusts and the hurricane, and it's not going through in 336 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: three or four hours. It's more like a twelve D 337 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 1: eighteen twenty four hour event, even though the strongest winds 338 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 1: will be done probably by eight or nine o'clock in 339 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: the areas is just getting absolutely hammered. Now it's still 340 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,400 Speaker 1: going to persist well into the night. And so Governor 341 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,199 Speaker 1: de Santis has organized an army. I mean, what a 342 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: great job. I'm looking at what's going on. The great job. 343 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 1: The question to me is after the storm goes by, 344 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 1: can you keep supplying that army to get to get 345 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 1: this to come back. Because the slow movement of the storm, 346 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 1: and we discuss the issues with the supply chain, all 347 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:01,640 Speaker 1: these things are compounding the problem. Outside of the normal 348 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: even major Florida hurricane that comes through in Florida. South 349 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: Florida has only been hit six times by major hurricanes 350 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 1: is nineteen sixty five. I mean, it became a rare event. 351 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 1: So you've got a lot of people here. Even though 352 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: they went through Andrew, and they went through Charlie and 353 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,199 Speaker 1: they went through Arma, it's not like it was in 354 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: the nineteen forties. It's just unbelievable what used to happen 355 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: down there. And let's just hope that that type of 356 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 1: situation is not returning. I don't really think it is. 357 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:35,640 Speaker 1: But in this particular case, folks, week again, basically it's 358 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 1: moving it along. Now, it'll be near Orlando early tomorrow morning, 359 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: twelve one o'clock. I think it's back out on the 360 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 1: coast six seven o'clock tomorrow night, and they're going to 361 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 1: be hurricane conditions along the coast, I think from North Carolina, 362 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: excuse me, from North Florida, all the way up to Kiowa, 363 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 1: perhaps Charleston. Out of this. All right, let's go through this, 364 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: because it was Naples has been hit particularly hard. Fort 365 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,679 Speaker 1: Myers was almost a direct hit. I have friends of 366 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: mine that have been sending videos about, I mean a 367 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:18,920 Speaker 1: storm surge, literally videos of tennis courts and the high 368 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: fences behind them as almost completely submerged in water. At 369 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:27,120 Speaker 1: this particular point, they're nervous because their building is kind 370 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,959 Speaker 1: of swaying a little bit. But my understanding is, especially 371 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: in these coastal areas, they are structurally engineered to do 372 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: just that, to sustain these winds. Is that you're understanding, 373 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: That's my understanding. But again, the trying to get across 374 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 1: this it, okay, suppose they're built to take two hundred 375 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: mile in our winds. They're not. I don't know what 376 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: the code is for. Let's say wind gusts to one 377 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: hundred miles an hour for eight or ten hours. See 378 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,919 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I mean, they're different ways. It's like 379 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 1: fighting someone who keeps jabbing you and jabbing and jabbing you, 380 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: rather than you're able to take one haymaker. I don't 381 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:12,239 Speaker 1: know that answer. What I've been doing is trying to 382 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 1: express the concern about this whole situation where you have 383 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: a hurricane. Remember what happened in Houston. Harby came ashore installed, 384 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: so that's what caused all the rain in Houston. It 385 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 1: would have been a heavy rain storm. But if Harvey 386 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: kept moving, they would have six eight inches of rain. 387 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: That's it. But the band stalled over them. And the 388 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,400 Speaker 1: reason that happened was Harvey got caught by the buckling 389 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 1: of the jet stream. This is the case where the 390 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: jet stream is buckled, right. It's not some big blocking 391 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: heat dome over the eastern part of the United States obviously, 392 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: So what happened is the upper trough is capturing the 393 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 1: storm and some of the processes of the storm are 394 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,479 Speaker 1: not exactly the same now, and it's moving slower, and 395 00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: it's moving very slow. So the situation is that, Okay, 396 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: let's suppose you have two feet of water up into 397 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: the second floor of a condominium or something, and it 398 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 1: keeps getting hammered. Let's say that Let's say the storm 399 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 1: search fifteen to twenty feet above all right, and you're 400 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 1: up there in the second or third floor. I'm not 401 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 1: trying to scare you, but I'm trying to explain why 402 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: this situation is a little bit different. Now, we just 403 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: have to hope that all these things that have been 404 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 1: done do work out. They probably will, but it is 405 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 1: a different kind of situation because of the slow movement 406 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:39,120 Speaker 1: and incessant pounding that is going on. I mean, let 407 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: me ask this question. I think this is pretty important. 408 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 1: So let's let's walk through. So we have Naples, Fort Myers, Sarasota, 409 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,919 Speaker 1: Tampa getting hammered. It's moving now from west to east, 410 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,199 Speaker 1: all the way across the state, right through Orlando up 411 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 1: into Pontovidra and of course the Jacksonville area in the 412 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 1: northeast corner of the state. Then it's going to hit 413 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: go through Georgia, South Carolina. You think Charleston is likely 414 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 1: going to have flooding issues if they haven't had them already. 415 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: Where does it go from there? Well, then then it 416 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: moves up into the mid Atlantic States, probably over Virginia 417 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 1: or West Virginia. The rain shield tries to come up 418 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,360 Speaker 1: into Pennsylvania, New Jersey Saturday and Saturday night, then gets 419 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:27,119 Speaker 1: beaten back down to the southeast. As as what's up 420 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: to the storm, the center reforms off the mid Atlantic 421 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,719 Speaker 1: coast and goes out as a regular old storm. Okay, 422 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: so this, this cold air that's in the east is 423 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: once this thing makes the second landfall, and it will 424 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 1: make the second landfall in a much weaker state than this. 425 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 1: But it's a situation when you say the second landfall, 426 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,160 Speaker 1: where is that going to be? Well, I think it's 427 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 1: between Savannah and Charleston right now. And you know that's 428 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 1: what we've been saying, you know, you know me, if 429 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,880 Speaker 1: I put out a forecasts dick with it, so we've 430 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,399 Speaker 1: had that, I still think it's going there. And what 431 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 1: I do think is that the folks there are weather 432 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,880 Speaker 1: nuts like me that are already paying attention to this. 433 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: But Joe, there's no weather not like you in the 434 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 1: entire universe. You're in. You know, you got the top spot, 435 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 1: which is why we love you well. Actually you should 436 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:27,120 Speaker 1: see my weather. My weather mafia is very interesting. I'm 437 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: gonna go go any further with that. These guys are 438 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: absolutely nuts. But the situation in the air, I think 439 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 1: that if the National Hurricane Center starts getting a little 440 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: more urgent there, the urgency will then carry to the 441 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: public and we can get ready there. But this is 442 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 1: gonna be a This is going to be a massive 443 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 1: clean up when you hit two areas like this, even 444 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,679 Speaker 1: if the second one's just the Category one hurricane after 445 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: the first one, and again, you know, the supply chain 446 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 1: issues have me worried about the recovery with this. That's all. Yeah, 447 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 1: I hope I'm wrong about that. So we'll see. All right, 448 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 1: JOBISTARTI WeatherBell dot com. We'll check in with you in 449 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,159 Speaker 1: the next hour, final hour of the program at the 450 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,199 Speaker 1: bottom of the half hour.

Heed your warnings and admonitions. Listen, listen. 453 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 1: There's nobody that doesn't want to listen to a politician 454 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 1: more than me. I know. Nobody likes being told what 455 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: to do, I especially however, if this is coming your way, 456 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 1: take the preparations that are necessary. Assume that your your 457 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 1: lights are going to be out, Assume that you're gonna 458 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 1: need extra food, extra water, whatever. And if you're in 459 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,679 Speaker 1: a coastal area, you might consider moving out, especially if 460 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: they tell you you've got to leave. I know that's 461 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 1: so inconvenient, but at least you're gonna come out of 462 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 1: this with your life. Hurricanes do kill people. We don't 463 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: want that to happen anyway. Job astarti WeatherBell dot com. 464 00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: Thank you.

We'll continue. 490 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: Of seven am, Hurricane Ian is located roughly eighty miles 491 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: south southwest of Charlotte County, and it's moving north northeast 492 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: at ten miles per hour. It is now a category 493 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 1: four hurricane with maximum sustained winds of up to one 494 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty five miles per hour. That is knocking 495 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 1: on the door of a category five storm. We expect 496 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: landfall in southwest Florida later today as a major hurricane 497 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 1: and will slowly move across the central Florida Peninsula before 498 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: exiting the northeast Florida coast probably sometime on Thursday. Much 499 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 1: of southern Florida is already experiencing impacts from the storm 500 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 1: as it moves closer to landfall. There have been several 501 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 1: tornado warnings issued during the overnight hours, and we expect 502 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 1: to see that continue today. A storm of this magnitude 503 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 1: will produce catastrophic flooding and life threatening storm surge on 504 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 1: the Gulf coast to Florida, and the highest risk areas 505 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: are ranging from Collier County up to Sarasota County. The 506 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: current track has the storm making landfall in Charlotte County. 507 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,479 Speaker 1: If you are in any of those counties, it's no 508 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 1: longer possible to safely evacuate. It's time to hunker down 509 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: and prepare for this storm. This is a powerful storm 510 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 1: that should be treated like you would treat if a 511 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: tornado was approaching your home. Steve is in Tampa, Florida. 512 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 1: Hey Steve, how are you sorry? You getting hammered today? Well, 513 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 1: good afternoon, mister Hannity. We're safe and secure, thank you. 514 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 1: Well you're still getting hammered by a pretty deadly storm. 515 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: Here we are. We've got sustained winds of about thirty 516 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: five to forty five miles an hour, with some intermittent 517 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 1: gust up to sixty We've had about But you've got 518 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 1: another problem because in Tampa it's a rare phenomenon caused 519 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: by the hurricane. It sucked water away from the shore. 520 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: Early this morning, around eight am, the tide was receding dramatically. 521 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 1: It's called a reverse storm surge, and it's when the 522 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 1: storm winds push water out of the bay and water 523 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: near For example, Tampa's Bay McCay Bay was three feet 524 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 1: below expected levels during low tide. The problem is the 525 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: negative tide will likely continue over the next couple hours. 526 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 1: But later on today Tampa Bay area could see water 527 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: rushing back and you could have as high as a 528 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 1: six to eight feet storm surge. Correct, we're expecting high 529 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 1: tide to come in here at about five thirty this afternoon. Well, 530 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 1: you know, look, it's when you guys who are grant 531 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 1: were target zero in this thing, and then all of 532 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: a sudden, it just came in a little bit south 533 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 1: of you in Fort Myers and Sarasota Naples, And obviously 534 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: they're getting the brunt of this, but you guys are 535 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 1: still getting hit hard, and you're gonna probably get hit 536 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 1: a lot harder in the hours to come. So I 537 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 1: want you to hang in there, all right, Yes, sir, 538 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 1: we will thank you, all right, my friend, eight hundred 539 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: and nine for one, Shaun is our number. If you 540 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program. Anyway, when 541 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,239 Speaker 1: they tell you to evacuate, you just gotta you just 542 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 1: gotta listen to the officials. I know it's so inconvenient, 543 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 1: it's annoying, it's all of those things, but it is 544 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 1: what it is.
