Welcome to the Eric Erickson Show podcast, Our One.

Hello and welcome. It is Eric Erickson here across the nation. The phone number, if you want to be on the show, 8779773-7-4-25.

Glad to have you with me. Keep praying for the folks down in Florida. Listen, there is a

hurricane relief fund. It's been a disaster down there. I got to tell you, it has not been good.

If you would like to donate to the Hurricane Relief Fund in Florida, you can text the word

donate to 33777.

Text donate to 33777, and I will send you back the link to the state of Florida's

501C3 for the Florida Volunteer Fund to donate.

It's been a mess. Let me get you some audio here.

This is Governor Ron DeSantis. 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 event.

And I know Seminole County 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 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 things that will need to be responded to.

One more about some of the reports out there about the number of casualties from the storm.

There are lots of reports of hundreds of people dead. It keeps coming up in a lot of the conversations about the climate change and how the strength of the storm is because of climate change. Reporters have kind of seized on that. Here's this exchange.

There have been reports that maybe there were hundreds of fatalities in Lee County?

Do you have any clarification on health?
