 The investigation area number 90 perma the new tropical storm is likely to be a long-lived hurricane it's mostly next week's story but we got to keep it close to the island. Make sure you have the charges by them your phones were charged if you can you still have power. A mandatory evacuation order has been issued. A powerful category five storm in the double the size not triple the size of the state of Florida. Ties for the second all-time strongest hurricane. It's really difficult with the storms moving parallel to the coast if it shifts both coast and the center part of the state particularly South Florida are at risk. Again don't look at the track because the wind field is so large. Get prepared, learn your evacuation zone, listen to your locals. We understand that the impacts can be outside. The power just went out here just the radio back down. We can only hope that people have battery powered radios. The time if you're still listening in Naples here it comes it's it's arriving now. Efbrind is a collaboration of the 13 public radio stations in the state of Florida and it really did nothing more than formalize what public radio has been doing for a long time in terms of community service and public safety and emergency messaging and created a storm center operation at the University of Florida and WUFT that organizes hurricane, tropical storm and other types of emergency messaging. I think several media companies have worked together in the past but this is unique in the fact that it's the entire state of Florida and when you think about how transient Florida is even on a sunny day there's a lot of vacationers moving throughout the state. We felt it was really important to reach all of Florida no matter where they are with the same information. One thing that the viewers really seem to like is the interaction. We were delivering just weather. We were able to focus on just the weather, what the storm is doing, where it's tracking the impacts, the tornado warnings, the storm surges and how it impacts the Florida residents. Florida officials have already spent more than a quarter of a billion dollars in the wake of Hurricane Irma and the number is expected to rise. Across Florida more than 65% of households are without power after Irma churned through the state. Covering a large-scale hurricane like Irma that covered the entire state takes days and days of preparation and then days and days of coverage. It's a marathon, not a sprint. So this is why we work together. When we're taking a break from our meteorology, the local stations are providing that ground truth, the important information for their local audience and then we give them a break to provide more of a larger scale picture as to what's happening with the storm and for the residents who choose to ride out of storm like this it's all about the minute by minute updates. We don't have time to go to a reporter in the field and see the wind and rain. We need to tell them when those tornado warnings are in effect for, when the eyewall will hit, so that they make the best decisions to save their life and their family's life. 50% of Tallahassee electorate customers had lost power. The surprise was the historic flooding around the St. John's River and its tributaries. I think it's an incredible model because that's something that weather hasn't really been tapped into before, for public radio. So even outside of Florida if you have like severe weather outbreaks, you have some winter storms. That's really a good model for them to follow. It's a true multi-platform, real-world, state-of-the-art environment and we are really excited about what we're doing here. We understand our mission very clearly and to be able to share that with our colleagues throughout Florida has been a wonderful experience.
