Florida Braces for Hurricane Milton

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I got to see them. I'm going to start with
this email. I just got this literally, like right before
we went on the air. It's from Hope. That's the
name of the person, Hope. Mister songer. It appears you
may be the King of Google and a g Soros puppet.
That's a good way to start an email. Many many
know that weather manipulation is real. Are you familiar with

(00:20):
the Vietnam War weather manipulation? Probably not. You mean like
Operation Popeye, which I referenced like seventeen times the other
day when we were talking about this, that weather manipulation
from the Vietnam War. Let me continue. I encourage you
to seek other search engines to improve your knowledge on
items you currently seem indoctrinated and improve your science education,

(00:41):
just saying with a couple of links from websites I
don't even want to click on in case you know
the bugs are in there. Wow. Okay, So thanks Hope
for the note. I don't know if Hope actually listens,
because if she, I'm assuming this is a she. If
she did, half of this email is patently false. But

(01:03):
you know, I just wanted to start there just because
this is what we're dealing with ladies and gentlemen. This
is what we're talking about. This is the uphill battle
of knowledge that we're constantly fighting. I'm trying to fight
the good fight. I'm trying to be as fair as
possible and even tell people I don't know what I
don't know, right, I mean, that's kind of part of
my shtick, is just not knowing things. Sometimes I rely

(01:26):
on callers too. We had many callers, callers saying that,
you know, weather manipulation is a thing. Yeah, it is,
we know it is. They can plant clouds through cloud
seating in different spots that isn't hurricane seating. They've tried
to use cloud seating to try to break up hurricanes
that did not work. We did have a guy from

(01:47):
who has served in the military and said there was
an effort at one point to drop some stuff into
a hurricane, and in that one hurricane they dropped some
like I think it was dry ice crystals. It did turn,
But we don't have enough evidence to know if that's
an every single time we do that it will turn thing,
or if that was just the hurricane turned. We've seen
hurricanes turning before. That same person said, there's no way

(02:09):
you could just create a hurricane or tell a hurricane
to take a hard left turn and go straight on
to land. We had a different person who served actually
in Vietnam and said, there's absolutely no way that they
would be able to do, you know, create a hurricane
out of this. But why would we listen to them
when she's got websites from people who write it at all.
I don't even know what these websites are, to be

(02:30):
honest with you here, here's what I'm saying. G Soros
puppet is just that that's rich. That's that's a good one.
I like that it's G you know shorthand what is
that is that? His author name G Sorrows. Yeah, and
I'm certainly not the king of Google. I use Google
quite a bit more of a chat GPT guy this

(02:51):
these days. Yeah, like a, I do some of the
work for me. But yo, those are some those are
some heavy words, hope. I think weather is a social construct.
Now now we're talking. Now, we're really talking in all reality, folks.
That doesn't necessarily bother me as much as it might
sound like it bothers me. It's just kind of funny,

(03:14):
but the overarching situation is serious. It's incredibly serious here,
George Soros or not. I can see the weather and
everyone is reporting on this now there are like have
you seen some of the pictures already of like some
of the winds that are just kind of getting to
the coast. I mean, it's knocking stuff sideways already. President

(03:39):
Biden said yesterday Hurricane Milton is looking like the storm
of the century. We are hearing from meteorologists. We're looking
at potentially up to eighteen inches of rain in a
very short amount of time. Could you imagine and this
like this, this is the other thing for me too,
can you realistically ever? Truly I want to live in

(04:01):
a place that this could potentially happen to you. It's
kind of like the people in Hawaii with the volcano
eruption a couple of years ago. From that one was
like Paradise, Hawaii or something like that. It was some
like retirement community and basically hot lava just slowly wandered
that direction and they couldn't stop it, and it just
took the whole town out. All the people just had
to leave and be like, well that was a good run.

(04:22):
I'm sorry. I'm probably not going to voluntarily live at
the bottom of a volcano. Just like as much as
Florida is a cool place, I like Florida. I have
vacation to Florida multiple times. I'm certainly going to go
back at some point. I can't help but notice that, Hey,
you know, this would be like a nightmare scenario for
anyone to just basically say, Okay, well, this hurricane's come

(04:42):
and ride at us. We better pack up all of
the stuff that we actually want to keep and leave
and know that our house is probably going to get
knocked down, because that's probably was going to happen to
a lot of people in this Tampa Saint Petersburg area.
Would you live there, I would rent if I did.
That's a good point. Would you live on the coast
or you try to live as close to like Orlando
or central Florida as possible. Orland is gonna be hit

(05:04):
with this, but it's not gonna be the storm surge.
It's not gonna like it's gonna be a lot of rain,
but it's not gonna be like you would hope that
they're not going to be knocking houses down by the
time it reaches that far inland with the storm surge. Yeah, Yeah,
it's amazing. It seems like, you know, the more beautiful
and the more desirable a place is also the more
potentially dangerous it is oftentimes. Yeah, we talked about Disney yesterday.

(05:27):
By the way, in Disney that they are not closing
the resorts and the steam parks until the storm basically arrives. Wow.
But they have said Oceola County, which is where Disney
is goes into the there's a curfew they've put into
effect seven pm tonight our time, a pm Eastern. It

(05:47):
lasts until ten am Eastern time tomorrow. So if you
are on the Disney property at Walt Disney World, you
have to stay inside your resort. You can't leave the building. Well,
Disney World is closing early. They are expected at the
storm arrives to be close tomorrow as well, but they
aren't closed. They didn't close days ahead of time, like
we saw some stuff in Tampa closing. And there's definitely

(06:09):
people like there were people that arrived at Walt Disney World.
I am seeing like photographs of full families that are
like trying to make a go of it at Walt
Disney World while this is happening and the weather's getting
worse and worse. It's just raining on them, you know.
I mean, if you're willing to put up with the rain.
I mean, it's just kind of like a heavy rainstorm
right now. But by tomorrow it's going to be way

(06:31):
worse and they won't be open tomorrow. But I don't know, man,
this looks like it's going to be really, really, really bad.
And most of the entire southern half of Florida is
under now tornado warnings. National Hurricane Center says tornado supercells
coming from the hurricane are beginning to sweep across the peninsula.
Evacuate if told to do so, time to prepare quickly

(06:54):
ending so be ready the best that you can. And
they are expecting several tornadoes today and tonight across parts
of central and southern Florida is part of this system.
So not only you know, we know what a tornado's like,
not only are they dealing with the idea that this
hurricane that very well could have close to one hundred
and eighty mile per hour winds. Now it's category four

(07:17):
right now, so it's a little less than that. But
who's to say what it's going to look like when
it gets to landfall as it sits right now, the
eye of the storm probably is closer to over one
hundred miles an hour. Top wind gusts that we're seeing
right now is around sixty miles an hour on land,
But the middle of that thing, they're tracking close to

(07:38):
one hundred and thirty miles per hour with the wind
right now. And I guess time is going to tell
what the damage looks like. But man, this if this
isn't one thing that just tells you, man, I would
not want to be living in a place where this
could potentially happen. This is it. This looks like it's
going to be even worse than we expected. It's two seventeen.

(08:00):
We'll talk more about this come up next. We got
plenty of conversations that we're going to be having as
well on news radio eleven to ten kfab. Emery Sunger
on news Radio eleven ten kfab. The storm surge, the
tornadoes that are likely to be coming through here with
this Category four storm, It's what the entire world is
paying close attention to on the Western Hemisphere at least,

(08:23):
and in our country especially. FEMA Administrator Dian Criswell told
some reporters this morning that the agency has moved in
twelve hundred search and rescue personnel to help support those
immediate life safety needs. We also were given a number
of at least some of the resources that have been provided.

(08:45):
White House Press Secretary of Kareein John Pierre said FEMA
has provided over three hundred and forty four million dollars
in direct assistance to the survivors of Hurricane Helene and
have set aside an additional one hundred and eighty million
dollars to ensure federal partners can carry out critical work.
As Florida continues to brace for Hurricane Milton, so Ron

(09:06):
DeSantis says, Florida has the infrastructure to prepare for this
the best that they've can. Florida has money that they have,
and they've also received everything they have asked for from
the federal government to prepare for Milton here over the
last few days. And I would trust that Ron DeSantis
isn't making that up. I'm sure after this hits, we're
going to create a more political situation out of this

(09:28):
than we have already, and there's no doubt about that.
That's just how it goes. But at Tropic Canna Field,
where the Tampa Bay Rays play baseball. They have set
up and it's a domed stadium. They have set up
a ton of like it's basically a base camp essentially
for a bunch of crew workers that will be supporting
the emergency management. They're going to be linesmen that will

(09:51):
be looking to try to restore power as quickly as possible,
which certainly is going to take some time. They have
people that are going to be first responders. They have
a ton hundreds of cots basically laid out along the field,
all over the field, and they're gonna be ready for
people when they arrive to try to help out those
who are going to be drastically in need as all

(10:14):
this happens over the next couple of days in Florida.
So we also kind of talked about the way that
people in charge are talking about this and this is
this is where you ready for this? This is what
I'm talking about, Matt. You ready? Yeah? The Tampa mayor says,
if you don't leave, you're gonna die. Florida Attorney General

(10:37):
Ashley Moody, how about this for a quote. If they
say get out and it's going to hit us like this,
and they can't predict exactly that storm search and you
are in an evacuation zone, you probably need to write
your name in permanent marker on your arm so that
people know who you are when they identify your body. Wow, stang,

(10:58):
you like that? Is that? I mean it gets the
message across a little bit, doesn't it. If that's what
the tone is, you know, if that's the tone needed.
I mean, I saw a video. There's a video on
social media of a guy on a boat in like
the Tampa area. He's on a boat and he's going
to ride it out on his boat, like on the dock,

(11:19):
like it's docked there, and he says he's gonna ride
it out on his boat. It's like a little sailboat.
It seems like a truly terrible idea. He doesn't seem
like he's all the way like I think he has
altered his brain a few times. He kind of has
that look about him, if you know what I mean.
He enjoys some of the He's a methy individual. Let's
just say that. I see. Okay, that's the vibe I get.

(11:42):
This isn't a person that seems to have it all together.
That may be the worst idea I've ever heard of
my entire life. He's just gonna sit there and like,
let his boat probably just get destroyed there. I mean,
what is he doing? And there's a video because this
guy like just interviewed him and said, like what would
it take for you to leave? And he's just like,
I am not going anywhere, so why I don't know.

(12:03):
That's the thing. And there's all you know and this
I'm not going to try to sound ageist here, but
it feels like a lot of older people are just
like I'm writing this thing out, not in this situation.
Attitude wise in general, right, it's just like I'm fine,
don't worry about me. It's like a stubbornness of like
I don't want to have to pack my stuff up
in like leave, I'm gonna be okay, We're gonna be fine.
And that's why I think the tone had to be

(12:24):
like this for a community like Tampa or Saint Petersburg
where it's kind of like, hey, if you don't leave,
you're gonna die. If you are on the coastline, you
will die. I don't know. I think I think it's admirable,
honestly to talk like that because we get so caught
up in in, we get so caught up in coach
speaker trying to be PC about everything. Sometimes you just

(12:47):
got to tell it like it is if you're going
to actually make a difference to people. So Jane cast
who is the Tampa mayor, also followed this up yesterday
and I quote, this is the mayor of Tampa, right,
not a small place, says I've said many times that
you want to pick a fight with Mother Nature, she's
winning one hundred percent of the time. And individuals that
are in these say, you're in a single story home.

(13:10):
Twelve feet is above that house, So if you're in it,
you know that's basically the coffin that you're in. I mean,
what are they expect, Like, I don't know. I've never
heard elected officials talk like this to people before, but
I think it's I think it's good and I think
maybe it could motivate some people to like take it
really seriously and fingers crossed. And like I told you,
I'm seeing pictures of families that are still at Disney World.

(13:31):
Disney World won't close until a little bit early, Like
they're probably going to close here in the next couple
of hours a little bit earlier than usual, and then
they're under a curfew in Oceola County and Florida until
tomorrow morning. But even then, it doesn't sound like Disney
is going to open their park tomorrow. So people are crazy. Man.
This really makes me not want to live in Florida.
Not to say that I was looking at moving to

(13:53):
Florida tomorrow. It's just you know, like maybe someday down
the line, I could have lived in Florida, and I
felt feel like, you know, that I could have made
that work. This is the kind of thing. It's just like,
maybe that's not a good idea. What do you think? Well,
A lot of thoughts running through my pea sized brain here.
I just you gotta be you know, I just what
is what is the reason if someone hears all these

(14:14):
things and still doesn't leave. Is it a trust situation? Maybe?
Because there's a lot of trust situations going on in
our world today. Well, I mean take Hope's female for example.
I mean, yeah, she trusts a couple of like websites
I've never even heard of before. She trusts you know,
the government. She's not the only person that feels that way. Well,
and you know, what there was some stuff through COVID

(14:37):
that felt like a basically straight up direct lying by
people that was by the government. Was Yeah, like it's
apples and oranges that versus this, right, because you can
actually see this coming. Yeah, but you're right. But I'm
just saying, like you want to sew seeds of distrust
like this. If you're sowing seeds of distrust, this is
the fruit that it bears right here. People not leaving

(15:00):
when they should because they don't trust the authority figures
who tell them too. So maybe that's the ramped up
rhetoric because they know they've got to be crazy about
it to get people out of there because there's such
a condition of distrust. I just hope that that's you
know what I mean, Like, I mean, we all know
people who aren't the trusting type, so to speak. It's
well put, definitely, I understand. Makes sense to me. We're

(15:23):
gonna try to have a lot of fun today. Obviously
we're not directly in the line of this storm, but
we're going to keep an eye on it. But we
got a lot of other stuff that we're going to
talk about over the next hour and a half. And
I want you to stick around for it right here
on news radio eleven ten kfab. Emery's songer on news
