1:14 am
a little bit north and west of here but the danger has been moving into this area steadily and they don't want to have to put their rescue workers at risk to go out into the storm and do any more of that we have some fifteen thousand people estimates rough estimates fishel say it's hard to know exactly that have been staying in the shelters there are about one hundred fifty shelters in the state of north carolina alone and just starting to get estimates of the damages a lot of people have. able to go home but the governor of north carolina roy cooper says that probably tens of thousands of buildings have been damaged as a result of the storm seven hundred thousand people at last count were without power and again the worst may not be over yet because those rivers are continuing to rise as the rain continues to fall warnings not to get complacent warnings that we still have to see how this plays out even as the rain dies down there's still more ahead to worry about christensen and they're joining us from fayetteville with

1:16 am
a light one but more or less in size not the warmest of directions but it is more or less sunshine from wall to wall just bit of cloud edging in to the far west my view victoria and tasmania so that's potentially active fronts on its way towards new zealand particularly south on this made contact already know it does contain enough action and of cold to give a bit of snow for the southern alps rain for most of this doesn't reach north doesn't during monday on tuesday it probably does if you get ten and all of the right in sun's come up this time in the cold across church at two of the trees now i'd like to report the end of proper rain in japan wockhardt reported perfectly but we have got a good regular line here the rains in shanghai and he's just about a north palm tree between the two but a cloud otherwise bright or even sunny conditions and last a dry twenty seven enjoy it in tokyo.
