[0:00] near Baker. Jim Acasta in Cedar Key,

[0:02] Florida. Jim,

[0:04] >> Bob, a hurricane warning has been posted

[0:06] and mandatory evacuation orders are up

[0:09] across much of the Florida Gulf Coast as

[0:11] everyone is keeping their eye on this

[0:14] fast approaching storm.

[0:17] Hurricane weary Floridaidians would like

[0:19] to have dismissed Alberto as just

[0:21] another tropical storm, but tonight it's

[0:23] exceeding expectations. Its winds jumped

[0:25] from 50 to 70 mph in just three hours

[0:29] this morning to near hurricane strength.

[0:31] That was all Florida officials needed to

[0:33] see to issue a mandatory evacuation

[0:35] order across 100 miles of the state's

[0:38] Gulf Coast.

[0:39] >> If you're ordered to evacuate, you

[0:40] really should do it. Don't think that

[0:42] you can ride out a storm. Uh it's not

[1:01] >> With the area expecting 10 in of rain

[1:03] and a storm surge up to 10 ft, city

[1:06] officials are closing their doors and

[1:08] warning residents they may not have help

[1:10] if things get bad.

[1:12] >> You need to leave. Uh we're going to

[1:13] leave eventually. Uh, and at a certain

[1:16] point in time, the the fire department

[1:17] will not be on the island, nor will the

[1:19] police department.

[1:21] >> A heavy downpour in Tampa may have

[1:23] caused the downing of this small plane

[1:25] that crashed into a home and killed at

[1:27] least one person. If there's any good

[1:29] news a
