happy Friday everyone we made it to the
weekend I'm Coy wire this is CNN 10
let's finish this week's strong we start
with our continuing coverage of
hurricane Ian which hit Florida just shy
of a category 5 storm this week when
daylight broke on Thursday the first
clear signs of Destruction in Florida
were revealed millions of people were
without power the hurricane dumped up to
a foot of rain on some cities as it
barreled across the Florida Peninsula
and it may end up setting flooding
records as one of the worst storms to
ever hit the state Florida Governor Ron
DeSantis called it a 500 year flood
event water and downed power lines is
not a good combination so many city
streets were impossible to navigate
roofs were torn off by the wind some
buildings even collapsed emergency
responders assisted with major rescue
efforts including pulling people from
roofs flooded homes and submerged
Vehicles across the state and Ian's path
of Destruction is not over the storm
dropped Heavy Rain on Central and
Northeast Florida throughout Thursday
and is expected to strengthen to a
category one hurricane and make a second
landfall in South Carolina today we'll
continue to monitor the storm and keep
you updated when our show resumes on
Monday let's go now to CNN anchor John
Berman who's there for us in Florida to
show some of the aftermath of hurricane
Ian

from the sheriff of Collier County
hurricane Ian left the streets in Naples
submerged
downed power lines made the roads
treacherous
members of the Naples fire department

smoking and uh we didn't want the
station to burn down

underway emergency crews helping
stranded residents in chess deep flood
waters the Naples fire department even
seen hitching a ride on jet skis to get
those in need
and it's a dangerous situation we've
already had several citizens that have
just had to be retrieved and in Fort
Myers water as far as the eye can see
with homes and buildings almost
completely underwater heavy winds blew
through the city the storm surge flooded
the streets with an abandoned truck seen
underwater this time lapse video shows
flood waters pouring onto the city
streets we want to make sure that they
do not venture out it's not safe to go
out but we will come to them as soon as
possible but be encouraged if they're
still here if they're able to you know
just be able to to think for a little
bit and thank the lucky stars that
they're still here their family's still
here just wait for us we're coming for
you be encouraged do not go out
in Tampa this traffic light fell to the
ground during the storm the western
coast of Florida Saw huge waves heavy
winds and lots and lots of rain as
hurricane Ian barreled through the
region on Cape Coral a lanai was seen
flying from the hurricane force winds
on Pine Island a storm chaser captured
these huge waves hitting the island and
while driving saw this power flash
in Port Charlotte a hospital flooded
leaving doctors and Personnel wading
through flooded hallways we had about
160 patients in-house and our roof blew
off part of the roof on the ICU

foreign
second trivia what's the name given to
the hypothetical immersive virtual world
existing on the internet Second Life
Myspace metaverse or 6G
put your 3D headsets on the correct
answer is metaverse
in 2022 approximately 66 percent of
Americans own their own home and we're
talking about apartments condos houses
townhouses houseboats you name it but
there's another type of property on the
market digital property sales shot up in
2021 generating more than half a billion
dollars Global businesses like Samsung
and Adidas have already invested in
Virtual land and by 2030 it's estimated
that the metaverse could generate
between four and five trillion dollars
but what's the point of having a living
room you can't sit in or a kitchen where
you can't cook for now the metaverse is
just an idea here's Anna Stewart with
more
foreign
this is decentraland it's just one of
the hundreds of metaverse Platforms in
existence after Facebook changed their
name to meta in 2021 digital worlds like
this experienced a land boom one
property here even sold for 2.4 million
dollars meeting me at the platforms
Trade Center is Sam Huber the CEO of
landvolt
Sam thank you so much for joining us so
this is where I could buy myself some
real estate this is the Ian world
marketplace his company buys builds and
rents out property to brands in the
metaverse they say they own hundreds of
real estate plots in more than a dozen
worlds
some of that land Sam says he's rented
out for sixty thousand dollars a month
do Brands really know though what the
value is yet in the metaverse it's in
the nascent stages really are they
wasting their money investing in a space
they maybe don't fully understand yet no
definitely not I mean you know history
has proven that being early testing and
learning is definitely a way to to
capture a disproportionate advantage
Global businesses like Samsung and
Adidas to name a couple say they've
already invested in Virtual land
Building experiences to engage with the
estimated 2 billion people who will
access the metaverse daily by 2026.
you need to start speaking the language
of those people who have been were
basically born with the internet they
don't really watch TV instead they play
games so they are metaverse you know
native they are the citizens of the
metaverse and Brands today needs to
start understanding that otherwise they
are the big risk of becoming irrelevant
there are companies around the world
heeding Sam's advice like Ali sajwani's
company damak this is our latest sales
Center 63rd floor of acon City
headquartered in
there the largest private property
developer
sales of his physical properties around
the world when a customer buys an
apartment or a home from damak they'll
receive the digital version of it as
well you can interact with your
neighbors you can meet with them online
we'll have some online games so we're
creating a sense of community in essence
physical or virtual that Community comes
at a price the penthouse is over 30
million 2 million US Dollars can I just
have the virtual version
just because you know me
Anna Stewart CNN Dubai

introduce you to Cassie Cassie is now
officially the Guinness World Record
holder for fastest robot on two legs not

in 24 seconds but it's still amazing
this half a human half a Jurassic
Velociraptor looking robot was built
with a million dollar Grant from the U.S
Department of Defense by the robotics
program at Oregon State University
Cassie which operates through machine
learning also completed a 5k on campus
and can go up and down stairs this
technology could be used in the future
to deliver packages or work in disaster
scenarios we're already seeing robots
working in factories making food in
restaurants soon we could see all kinds
of things being done by robots now
