As of 0800 today, 90 miles south of Cuba,
00:05
tropical storm Idalia continues to gather strength.
00:08
It will become a hurricane today,
00:12
and it is forecast to reach landfall
00:14
as a major hurricane, a category three.
00:17
I think it's important to point out,
00:19
if we were sitting here three days ago,
00:22
a lot of people thought it would end up
00:23
being a tropical storm.
00:24
Then they said, well, maybe a category one.
00:27
Then yesterday it was, oh, maybe it'll hit cat two.
00:30
Now, there really doesn't seem anything
00:32
to prevent it from continuing to strengthen.
00:35
And we've seen this before
00:36
with something like Hurricane Michael
00:38
that continued to gather strength.
00:40
So this is gonna be a major impact,
00:43
and Floridians should expect that this storm
00:46
will be a major cat three plus hurricane.
00:50
So please prepare accordingly.
00:51
The National Hurricane Center
00:53
currently has hurricane watches in effect
00:56
for the Gulf Coast from Sarasota County
00:58
all the way up to Franklin County in Northwestern Florida.
