00:00There we go, there's the Matt Lachey Bridge.
00:03Is it possible just to go ahead and take that vantage point full?
00:07So we can keep an eye on that here.
00:09The rotation should be crossing over the bridge here at any moment.
00:13We get radar scans about every six minutes.
00:16So this is looking eastbound, so we're looking right to left, there you go.
00:24So we're looking back towards our studios on Pine Island.
00:27So the camera's looking eastbound, and we're right there on the bridge.
00:32So if we are to see a water spout or a tornado, Andrew, I'm going to stay on this view here
00:37for the next little bit as we continue to look at the warnings as well.
00:40But we are going to watch the right-hand side of your screen, and if we were to see swirls
00:45in the water perhaps, it's going to start on the right-hand side of your screen and
00:49move off to the left.
00:51And as we continue to look at our instrumentation here, we've got several different areas of
00:55rotation moving through southwest Florida, and this is one of them that is particularly
01:01dangerous here for us.
01:03What you may see besides some swirl in the water here as well is what appears to be some
01:08kind of wall of water or limited visibility on the right-hand side.
01:12And as that moves across, that would be a water spout, or if it was over land, would
01:17have been a tornado, and it would be sucking up water, and it would appear as a wall of
01:22water coming through.
01:23So obviously the heavy rain is impeding any kind of visibility.
01:27You can see first responders there at the Matlache Bridge, I'm sure helping keep traffic
01:32off the island here this morning.
01:34So we're going to keep it on this view right now, because as that rain picks up, that is
01:39that circulation that is going to move right over the camera, and we might be able to pick
01:45up if indeed there is a water spout or what was a tornado.
01:50We might see it here in the next little bit.
01:52So we're going to stay on top of this, and we've got Amy and Brett here in the studio
01:57as well.
01:58They're watching it.
01:59If you guys happen to see something, while Andrew and I are getting the latest warnings,
02:02please yell.
02:03Obviously the rain is picking up as that particular thunderstorm moves over that area too.
02:08This is a very dangerous situation.
02:10Look, Trent, look at the water on the right side.
02:12Oh, there you go.
02:13See the water, Andrew?
02:14Right there.
02:15Right there's your rotation.
02:16That is the actual, there it is, there it comes.
02:20So again, right to east, that is the potential water spout, potential tornado moving right
02:26over the Matlache Bridge.
02:27Boy, oh boy, look at this picking up, guys.
02:31This is why you shouldn't be on the roads right now.
02:33This is a great reminder that this vehicle is stuck right in the middle.
02:37This is why we told you guys you had to evacuate early this morning.
02:40So we have got a very distinct rotation showing up right now on the velocity images.
02:47This is passing over the Matlache Bridge.
02:50This vantage point is looking from west, looking eastbound towards our studio.
02:55So this is going to continue to move over Matlache and you can see those intense winds
02:59really moving that camera around and it seems to be getting worse as that rotation is moving
03:05right over the Matlache Bridge.
03:08Wow.
03:09Unbelievable.
03:10There was zero visibility at this point.
03:11Just unbelievable.
03:12Andrew, this has got to be it, right?
03:15This is it.
03:16That's got to be it.
03:17Wow.
03:18So talk to me a little bit, you guys.
03:20Thank you so much for joining, Trent and Andrew.
03:22Talk to me about...
03:23Can we open Amy and Brett's microphone?
03:27Yeah, yeah.
03:29All mics are on.
03:30So, man, those first responders, you see, this isn't even really the thick of it, right?
03:34These are just those first few bands, Trent.
03:36This is that first main rain band that's moving through and this was the one that we talked
03:41about in our morning coverage.
03:43Every single one of these cells was rotating.
03:46All right.
03:47We just got a new radar scan too.
03:48This is pulling right over the bridge as we speak and you can see how intense the winds
03:53are in that circulation.
03:55Look at this.
03:57Look how bad this is right now.
03:58How long does something like this typically last for people who are in that area?
04:02These storms are racing off to the north.
04:04We've seen them as high as 55 miles per hour or as low as 30 and you can already see the
04:10view getting a little bit better for the Matlache Bridge.
04:12So, if that indeed was a waterspout slash tornado, we just captured it live as it moved
04:19across the Matlache Bridge, again, looking towards the Cape.
