Hello, American Mark Levin here. Our number 877-3813-811-877-3813-811.

This natural disaster has done such incredible damage to major swaths of Florida from these water surges to wind damage, massive flooding and parts of central Florida, massive.

The storm itself has moved pretty much offshore, that is the hurricane, the storm.

Now it's turning back into the coast as many it feared and it's at a hurricane 1.

It had lost its hurricane status but it picked it up again out in the ocean.

Their trajectory, the forecast to track, has it hitting in the Charleston area and all along that coastline in South Carolina.

The Georgia coast near Savannah and North of Savannah and then of course North Carolina places like Cape Hatteras, Virginia, places like Norfolk and Virginia Beach.

So this thing is not done and the damage that it's left is unbelievable.

It's too early to know the amount of lives, too early to know the amount of damage other than to say I'm sure it's unparalleled in modern American history.

Governor DeSantis earlier today had this to say cut three Mr. Bedouc or go.

Right now if you look in central Florida you're looking at potential major flooding and orange and Seminole counties, St. John's River all the way up potentially into Northeast Florida and Jacksonville.

The amount of water that's been rising and will likely continue to rise today even as the storm is passing is basically a 500 year flood of that.

And I know Seminole County has has done evacuations. I know they've opened shelters, but we're going to see a lot of images about the destruction that was done in Southwest Florida and obviously we have massive assets there.

But people should just understand this this storm is having broad impacts across the state and some of the flooding you're going to see in areas hundreds of miles from where this made landfall are going to set records and that's going to obviously be be things that.

That will need to be responded to.

So that is really unfortunate, but they're very lucky to have a hands on smart.

Governor there I know Governor DeSantis quite well is a personal friend I knew him before he was governor when he was a congressman.
