## Transcript

This storm will be life threatening and extremely dangerous. Impact from wind, rain, and storm surge, could begin tomorrow night, this means in 36 hours. If you go back what happened with Irma last year with the storm surge we had down in the Keys, the water rushes in and the water rushes out and takes everything out of your house, everything is taken out. Has to be really heavy for it not to be taken out. You will not survive storm surge. Michael can still change direction and impact any part of the state. Today's the time to get a plan, do not put it off. There isn't any reason not to be prepared and not to keep your family safe.
