thank you
hello everyone wonderful Wednesday to
you I'm Coy wire this is CNN 10 and
we've got a rendezvous with the news so
let's go hurricane Ian made landfall in
Cuba early Tuesday morning leaving parts
of the island country without power at
the time of the show's recording storm
preparations had begun in Florida where
FEMA the Federal Emergency Management
agency was deployed the latest radar
track showed the storm was expected to
hit the west coast of the state posing a
dangerous threat to Tampa and Fort Myers
the government
urging some residents in coastal areas
to evacuate as dangerous storm surges
are expected to hit the area a tornado
watch was also issued for South Florida
on Tuesday Morning where starting
Wednesday flooding and significant power
loss are expected if you're in the
Impact Zone here are a few tips stay
inside protect all windows and doors and
make sure to have food water and
emergency preparedness tools like first
aid kits on hand the last major
hurricane to make landfall in Florida
was a category 5 storm hurricane Michael
in 2018. let's break down hurricane Ian
by the numbers as they stood Tuesday
evening Category 3 storm winds of about
125 miles per hour storm surge between 8
to 10 feet the hurricane is expected to
dump at least two to three months worth
of rainfall by Friday that's 12 to 24
inches of rain with 24 inches in Tampa
and West Central Florida 8 million
people live in the hurricane warning
Zone
it's been a century since the Tampa area
of South Florida has been directly hit
by a hurricane and now hurricane in
could change history everyone and I mean
everyone in Pinellas County
will witness some degree of impact from
the storm nearly 170 000 people have
already been ordered to evacuate in the
Tampa area alone and schools and
universities announcing closures in
preparation for the storm and set up as
Emergency Shelters we are looking at the
possibility of having 10 to 15 foot
storm surge and clearly that would be
very devastating for our community
that's five residents here taking this
seriously yeah I wasn't really worried
about it yesterday but today you know
you start making your preparations and
doing what you got to do right tie
everything down secure your cars make
sure you got enough food and water at
the house and that's all you can do I
think we're taking it pretty seriously
uh up until like yesterday we were
thinking it was going to hit you know
Panama City or something like that but
right now I think it's uh it's real the
Tampa area of Florida more vulnerable
than other parts of Florida the area
around Tampa Bay there are just a lot of
low-lying areas
compounded with a lot of development so
we have a very large population is built
up since the last hurricane
and it's built up in low-lying areas and
so we have a lot of exposure a lot of
risk the Florida National Guard is
activated 5 000 Florida Guardsmen as
well as 2 000 additional Guardsmen from
Tennessee Georgia and North Carolina
every official here with dire warnings
to prepare for the very worst this is
going to be
a storm like we have not seen in the
past
next we follow up on a story we've been
tracking with you NASA's Dart Mission or
double asteroid redirection test it hit
its Target the mission which launched 10
months ago has been called Humanity's
first test of planetary defense in a
spacecraft successfully slammed into an
asteroid one of more than 27 000
near-earth asteroids consisting of all
shapes and sizes more now from CNN space
and defense correspondent Kristen Fisher
who was there at Mission Control when
history was made
well there were big cheers at the Johns
Hopkins Applied Physics laboratory where
I am right now the place that is
responsible for building and operating
the dart spacecraft when it successfully
hit its Target the dimorphous asteroid
on Monday night this spacecraft had been
traveling in space at about 14 000 miles
per hour four miles per second for 10
months and in the vastness of outer
space this spacecraft was able to
successfully hit an asteroid that's
about the size of the Pyramid of Giza
and this spacecraft not that big about
the size of a of a vending machine so
really just an incredible feat that NASA
was able to accomplish just that but the
big question of course is was NASA able
to successfully push that asteroid
dimorphous just a little bit off its
current trajectory and the reason that's
so important is because this asteroid
poses no threat to planet Earth
whatsoever but the reason this is
important is if there ever were a
potential killer asteroid in the future
bound to wipe out all of life on planet
Earth this type of Technology this type
of maneuver could potentially save all
of us all life on the planet and so this
was NASA's first ever planetary defense
test mission we know half of it was
successful now we have to wait a few
days perhaps even weeks before we'll
know if it was successfully able to bump
this asteroid off course
it's a big world out here lots of humans
lots of animals and lots of
ants how many well thanks to a new study
we're closer to the answer the study
published in a scientific journal Monday
says there are about 20 quadrillion ants
at any given time that's a 20 with 15
zeros after it for each human on earth
there's an estimated 2.5 million ants
ants are vital to the ecosystem
spreading seeds supporting the food
chain as both predators and prey fifteen
thousand seven hundred species and
subspecies the total mass of every ant
on the planet exceeds that of every bird
and mammal combined that's a lot of bugs
and that's random
next up we're introducing you to a CNN
Hero on a mission to fight hunger across
this community Bobby Wilson an Urban
Farmer in the Metro Atlanta area is
helping people get access to locally
grown food but not only that since 2009
he's taught thousands of people how to
plant and grow their own food meet now
Mr Bobby Wilson
come on out here with my boys and girls
there is a high demand for
agriculture in the Metro Atlanta area
most of the people in this neighborhood
don't have access
to fruits and vegetables that they can
readily get on a regular basis I'm Bobby
Wilson here in the great state of
Georgia
my main goals and objective is to make
sure that marginalized and unnecessary
communities have access to locally grown
Foods that's free of chemicals this is
our secret right here what I call Black
Gold
we have turned five acres of land right
here in the Heart of the City into a
green Oasis that really impact the
quality of life of people that lives
around here and visit with us
on an average we are growing four to
five tons of food per year we're
teaching people how to grow their own
food on small tracks of land so you want
to evenly spread them out with the price
of food right now you can probably grow
about twenty five hundred dollars worth
of food per year
it does kind of smell sweet we got to
get our young people excited about
agriculture we work with the seniors we
work with kids that's coming out of the
Juvenile Justice Court System and we
have a training program through our
community garden but you can also learn
from other community gardeners I want
folks to see farming in a total
different light it really sends a
message to them without a farmer you
probably wouldn't have anything to eat
tonight for supper we are changing the
Dynamics of the way people think about
food the way people use food oh wow this
work is changing people's lives thank
you so much for coming
changing society as a whole
all right today's 10 out of 10 is sure
to get your seal of approval this fine
fellow had been on the loose in Beverly
Massachusetts for days until he turned
himself into police that's one of the
silliest things I've ever heard but here
he is video of him waddling up to the
police station locals nicknamed him
Schubert after spotting him in a pond
last week but a group of officers sealed
the deal and safely captured him sent
him off for observation and then
released him back into the wild finally
our favorite part of the day we want to
give a special shout out to
Miss venical's class at Cincinnati
College Preparatory Academy in
Cincinnati Ohio we hope you and everyone
watching around the world have a
wonderful one I'm Coy wire thanks for
watching CNN 10. we'll see you later
