00:00 Good evening, this is PTV News Now.
00:15 Hurricane Idalia, still gathering strength in the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico,
00:20 is expected to make landfall on the western part of the state's panhandle as a Category
00:25 4 howler.
00:26 Idalia was packing winds of 120 miles or 192 kilometers per hour a couple hours at around
00:33 2 to 3 am eastern time that would blow even harder by the time it hits the coast.
00:39 Shop owners in Clearwater have boarded up their stores as the streets turn desolate
00:44 with residents all in their homes all set to ride out the storm's passage.

00:54 passed close to vessel traffic and suspended its ship to shore cargo operations.
01:01 Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, now on the sump in Iowa, pleaded to his constituents
01:06 to heed evacuation alerts.
01:08 Even U.S. President Joe Biden expressed concern over the impending storm surge.
01:13 "I'm worried about the surge, the ocean surge.
01:18 We don't know exactly, hour to hour we're watching this.
01:22 But I told the governor and the mayor, the regions that are likely to be hit first, that
01:29 we're there as long as it takes.
01:31 We're going to make sure they have everything they need.
01:34 Thank you."

02:06 Former heavyweight champion of the world and Kiev Mayor Vitaly Klitschko said two of his

02:16 teams worked the wreckage sites in two districts of the capital.
02:22 A day after a rather rocky school opening as a result of Typhoon Goring's passage, the
02:27 province of Pangasinan has something to cheer about.
02:30 The universal emergency hotline number for distress calls, 911.
02:35 Along with the 911 launch, the provincial government also kicked off its One Response
02:40 Command Center.
02:41 The new 911 hotline connection is linked to the existing emergency phone numbers of the
02:46 province and key search and rescue plus relief agencies, the police and Coast Guard and under
02:53 the supervision of the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Office.
