Naples sees record storm surge
Naples, Florida, reached a new record-high storm surge of 4.8 feet Wednesday morning -- and the water continues to rise.
This beats the record of 4.25 feet reached during Hurricane Irma in 2017.
Ken Graham, director of NOAA's National Weather Service, warned Wednesday, “This is going to be a storm we talk about for many years to come -- historic event."
