♪♪. >> Will: LIVE FROM TEXAS, THIS. IS "THE WILL CAIN SHOW" LET'S. BEGIN WITH A FOX WEATHER ALERT. MAJOR CATEGORY THREE HURRICANE. BARRELING TOWARD THE GULF COAST. PUTTING NEARLY 30 MILLION. AMERICANS IN ITS PATH. LOUISIANA, MISSISSIPPI, ALABAMA, AND FLORIDA, ALL STARING DOWN.

THIS HURRICANE. IT'S NOW CLOSING IN ON THE. FLORIDA PANHANDLE WITH LANDFALL. EXPECTED IN HOURS. THAT'S WHERE WE WILL FIND ROBERT. RAY, WHO IS S LIVE IN DESTIN, FLORIDA. ROBERT? >> GOOD AFTERNOON TO YOU, I'M. STANDING HERE AT THE EDGE OF. DESTIN BAY. IT'S RAGING. THESE OUTER BANDS ARE BEGINNING. TO COME IN FAIRLY HARD WITH RAIN. AND BREEZY CONDITIONS BUT THIS. IS NOTHING COMPARED TO WHAT.

WE'LL EXPERIENCE UPON LANDFALL. WHICH COULD OCCUR VERY CLOSE TO. WHERE WE ARE STANDING, WILL. LET ME GIVE YOU DETAILS. HURRICANE ISAIAS IS ABOUT 90. MILES TO THE SOUTH OF WHERE WE. ARE AT TREKKING TO THISSING. EXPECTED LANDFALL TONIGHT EVEN. STILL AS A MAJOR CATEGORY THREE. WINDS ABOUT 120 MILES PER HOUR. MAYBE EVEN MORE IN SOME SPOTS. THE IMPACTS ARE GOING TO BE. SIGNIFICANT. UP TO NINE FEET OF STORM SURGE, THAT PUSH ON TO LAND THAT WILL.

INUNDATE ROADS AND STRUCTURES. AND THEN THE WIND FIELD, TOO. THERE WILL BE A LOT OF DAMAGE. BECAUSE OF HOW HEAVY THESE WINDS. ARE. THEY COULD SPIN UP TORNADOS, WELL, ALL OVER THE REGION. UNFORTUNATELY, POWER OUTAGES. WILL BE WIDESPREAD. THE STATE OF FLORIDA RIGHT NOW, THEY ARE DEPLORING ALL THE. RERESOURCES THAT THEY POSSIBLY. CAN. GOVERNOR RON DeSANTIS HAS THE. NATIONAL GUARD WAITING. THE ELECTRIC LINEMEN ARE WAITING. TO GET POWER RESTORED AFTER THE. INITIAL IMPACTS, ON TOP OF THAT,

GENERATORS AND SHELTERS, FOOD. AND WATER, AND ALL THE OTHER. PROVISIONS FOR ANYONE THAT MAY. BE CAUGHT IN A BAD SITUATION. MANDATORY EVACUATIONS WENT INTO. PLAY YESTERDAY. IN SOME SPOTS, IN ALABAMA, ON. THE GULF SHORES, ALL THE WAY. HERE INTO THE PANHANDLE OF. FLORIDA. NOW, THIS IS, AGAIN, A VERY. SERIOUS SITUATION. I CANNOT STRESS THAT ENOUGH. THIS IS THE FIRST ATLANTIC. HURRICANE OF THE SEASON, AND IN. THE GULF, BECAUSE OF THE EL NINO. EFFECT, AND WE THOUGHT MAYBE WE.

WERE GOING TO DODGE A BULLET BUT. INDEED THIS WILL BE A. CATASTROPHIC SCENARIO IN SOME. AREAS FOR SURE. EVERYONE, IF YOU HAVE NOT. EVACUATED, AT THIS POINT, AND. IT'S TOO LATE YOU NEED TO HUNKER. DOWN AND GET INTO A SHELTER. WHERE YOU'RE NOT GOING TO. EXPERIENCE STORM SURGE OR FLASH. FLOODING AS WIND GUSTS COME IN. RIGHT NOW AS I SPEAK, WILL. THESE ARE THE OUTER BANDS. WE'RE HOURS AWAY FROM THE. BIGGEST IMPACT AND WE'LL MOVE. INLAND, CAUSING ISSUES ALL OVER.

ALABAMA, AND THE ENTIRE STATE, AND GEORGIA. ATLANTA. THEY NEED TO EMBRACE AS WELL FOR. HEAVY WINDS AND POTENTIAL FOR. FLASH FLOODING AND THEN.
