>> the rain is really coming down. is there any flooding where you are? >> absolutely. if you can try to go across the street, maybe you can see across the street earlier today, that is where we were parked. we had to continually move the car up. i mean, that water was coming up so quickly. this is a mile from the ocean. there are actually waves. earlier today, the ocean met the boulevard and then it met the day. it is all water. you can take a vote, and you can just ride ride out to be a planet from where we are. we are at the last point we can go. >> we are glad to see that folks are off the roads they are in heeding the warnings. we are also happy to know that you are safe. thank you for that great report. >> all right, we are bringing in summer league.

>> i want to call them the men in black, but i think you are wearing a navy blue suit. >> you look great. >> mike wood. back for this hour. [talking over each other] >> i got a little bit of sleep. three hours of sleep. the thing is that mike went to the gym for half of that. [laughter] >> absolutely. i did some push-ups. >> that's good enough. [laughter] >> did an amazing job this storm, helping us out and helping us track its. >> hopefully we will be in better shape soon. obviously, the danger has not passed, we have seen the worst.

continuing to go at us, we are past the storm, losing some of the power. >> i have to tell you. it is still going. i actually outlasted the energizer battery. [laughter] >> nice job, my friend. >> all around, we are all in this together. it is a team effort. >> it is midnight, so i will see later this morning. >> we have to ask you, it is going to be going outside, where the street like other? >> i stayed at the hotel in

midtown. the wall waldorf. it is actually close to us. a lot of folks up there. yes, i only had to go from about 50 the street to about 67th and third. you know what, as far as the streets were concerned in that area, it wasn't so bad. localized flooding on the roadways. tree limbs down and things of that sort. i did not see a lot more than that. had i gone downtown, i live down in the west village and i understand that there is a lot of areas that are underwater. the power is out. that would've been different. >> you have no power, i have no power. mr. quinn has no power. [talking over each other]

>> i live on the waterfront property and i can't go home. >> well, it is not a funny situation. obviously. but taking this seriously and keep the information coming at you. it is tough. i am sure that you are curious to get back down and it's going to be a while before things get back to business as usual. here we go. we have the latest the storm. >> maybe we could just ask a couple questions. >> well, what about 24 hours ago when i. >> looking at things,. >> i am a little bit surprised. it actually came through because we were thinking could that and with outlook. how would it be. but we did see that it was a possibility and we were putting in the forecast as things come to fruition.

i think it has everybody in shock. those who have not seen the pictures, a lot of people have without power or cable. they might not be aware of what is going on in the tri-state region. the jersey shore throughout the new york harbor, off to long island. pretty much everyone has been affected by the storm. i do have to say that i am a little surprised by how much the water is backed up. places like the east river and the hudson river. how much it affects the folks as we head into places like westchester county into putnam county and bolster county. that is a long way toward tobacco. but it did indeed do so. some things like that were up quite a surprise. 75-mile per hour winds. pretty impressive out there as well. >> without a doubt. well over 1 million people without power in that area now. >> yes, i mentioned that yesterday. i think it shocked people. you know, thousands of people

are going to be without power, it's more like millions. you can imagine when you're seeing areas that are looking at power outage possibilities, you do the math and you have millions of people that are going to be without power. again, it's not until we see the sun come up that we start adding the numbers. we really come down to some solid numbers. >> absolutely. also, so much flooding that we don't know about. it is really incredible. we were talking to joel little bit ago. and the fact that, you know what, jewel was on the phone with us now. he had the national guard running through covered beach. you know, why don't you chime in and tell us what is going on out there? >> yes, i can tell you this that the water has receded substantially. it started to receive about two hours ago and we are still stuck on the second floor on howard

beach. two hours ago we were looking at waves breaking on cross bay boulevard. we are talking about large waves coming in off of the bay. ways that you could potentially serve on. that is how big it was. now, there is a tremendous amount of water out here. it has receded quite a bit. when we talk you earlier, obviously, we were worried about the water continuing. although we are on the second floor here, we were making plans with other people for an exit route to the roof. luckily, it does not look like that is going to have to happen. you know, shortly, and not too long ago, maybe 30 minutes ago, we saw what we believe was no power. it looked like a military convoy vehicle to look like a monster truck with giant wheels.

but they seem to be dressed like firefighters. it was hard to tell who they were. they pulled up in his humvee vehicle. they asked us if we were okay and we told them that we were. they said that right now that the plan is to just stay put. they wanted to make sure that there was no one in here under dire circumstances. it is incredible how fast the water came in. amazingly, it important to note that a short time ago we saw what appeared to be a civilian vehicle, a pickup truck driving down the street here. a word for the wise, i don't think that's a good idea for anyone. it is really tough to navigate out here. it is tough to tell how deep the water czar, where the water is. so if you are not a first responder, i am no expert, but i can tell you that you should not be out there tonight. not if you don't belong up there. >> we are glad you are out of what seems like for a few

moments, extreme danger. we were worried about you. the water was getting higher. but you are clearly out of the woods, and so is everybody else. what is the name of the hotel? it is but surfside motel. >> we thank the folks at that hotel for taking good care of you and everybody else. when you see the responder's pull-up, and you're trapped, it is nothing like seeing those guys. obviously on a night like tonight, i don't even know how they began to do their work. they do it well. it looks like it might be in zone -- zone b. >> part of it is in transit. it is right on the cusp of zone a and zone b. as i was telling you earlier, a

lot of people hit me up on twitter tonight saying that they should have evacuated in zone b. a water trap right now. they are hoping that help comes in the morning. i can tell you right now that i am looking at what is definitively zone b, and it is submerged under water as well. >> the part of the hotel that is in that zone, is there any part of the hotel that is underwater? >> i tried to take a snapshot, it is completely underwater. it looks like the pictures you would see on the titanic. just completely underwater. the furniture floating through the first floor. the same way the water came in, crashing through the doors, a lot of the water has gone out. but i can tell you there will be a lot of damage. >> a lot of damage and then there is mold and i don't know how long it takes, but that hotel will function again. but it is going to be a wild. i have no idea what is entailed in cleaning out the floor of a

hotel that has been completely submerged. how big of a hotel when i. >> about 50 people staying here tonight. i don't know what the total occupancy is. it might be double that. >> okay, that's what i was wondering. if it is a big hotel in. >> okay yes, it is a two-tier motel. >> i think everyone in here, including myself is in a bit of a father having gone through this. the real story in real news, we will find out in the morning when the sun comes out and we will see how devastating this image is citywide. >> absolutely. especially for the folks that are pulled up for the night. we hope they will be okay. the ones that had to stay in their homes. >> joel, thank you so much. we are glad you made it through. for a while there, we thought it was touch and go for you and your comrades staying at the hotel. okay, mike, what do you make of it? a full-fledged weather report if you can. >> sure thing. i will give you what we got. getting back in the saddle again.

this has obviously been a major storm or the tri-state. one for the record books. what is going on at howard beach. seeing the onshore flow for quite a while. wins coming in from the south and southeast. turning more southeast of the cult untransformed continues to progress toward the west. as it becomes extratropical. still, a fair amount of rain and wind that they are dealing with. checking out on the wind speeds, still up to about 50 miles per hour. these are some of the peak wind gusts are you very impressive numbers out there. 94 miles per hour wind gusts. almost getting into the category two hurricane range. 81 miles for our here, a lot of impressive wins. a lot of damage has been done with all the power outages. despite what is also going on with floating out there, too. at this point, you can tell that the wins are definitely on the downside. a lot of the stations actually are reporting.

the equipment may be damaged with the weather coming through. in most instances, power outages. 30-mile per hour wind coming for you through islip and central park and laguardia. it is coming in now from the southeast. a good indication that the storm is moving on. looking at some of the other wind gusts, the latest reports. i'm not sure if that 69 miles per hour stands, but gusts around mid to upper 40s in a few areas and the low 50s here. as the storm slowly pulls away. yes, i guess it is 69 miles per hour. let's talk about the tides. i know we have gone past the high tide. kings point, 16-foot tides. well beyond that stage of 10.5 feet. we saw a 14-foot high tide at battery park. major stuff that we have had to

deal with going through the evening. now, bridgeport. a high tide there of 15 feet. above flood stage. a moderate stage within 10.4. these were obviously some huge numbers out there. the damage that you're going to find once folks are getting ready for the cleanup effort is going to be extremely impressive. also devastating for a lot of folks. there is your forecast going forward for the next seven days. are we done with the storm? well, we are done with the height of the storm, but we still have to go through another high tide cycle here. then we have to deal with a few more showers both today and tomorrow. by the time we get to thursday, be drying out. finally we have a nice dry stretch coming our way throughout the tri-state region. again, the brain is not completely out. it is going to take a wild the while for the wins to back down as well. still looking at sustained winds around 45 or 50 miles per hour.

it is going to be a slow and gradual recovery for a. >> mike, let me ask you. it rained we will experience tomorrow. is it significant or not? >> could there be more flooding? >> that looks a little estimate we have seen out there. most of it has been in the central and southern sections of new jersey were down to the south of us. but yes, battery park, kings point, the jersey shore locations as well. once again, we are still having the onshore winds. >> doesn't fridays seem like a year from now?

>> i'm pretty sure everything will be canceled out their. >> the tunnels are cleaned out, the subways are back in order. how much can this corrosive saltwater do? >> it is quite a trick from sandy. not a trick, but a patrick. >> let's go to the north area. >> thank you. i'm definitely holding onto my hat. let me tell you that there is a driving rain that his study. we have been able to see at the high tide point, that the water has actually appeared to go down several feet here.

right at the edge of long island sound. some of the people that were members of this yacht club were concerned that the docs would break free from the moorings and that they would go out into the water. that has not happened. the water is actually going down. but that is not giving us a full picture of what is going on here. nearly 150,000 customers in westchester county without power. about 75% of the village of marionette without power. right now, the big problem has been the trees are down. some of the roads have to be closed because the trees have been obstructing the roadway there. that is a problem for many people. they simply don't have enough electricity. in terms of the flooding, what we are seeing is it is going down right now. it could be a problem earlier in the morning. we still don't have a full idea of just how bad it is all along the coastline. the mayor of the village told people if you're not out by early this evening, that he did not want to risk the lives of first responders to come and go

get them. nonetheless, talking with police officers and marine unit first responders tonight that said if they do need to go out and rescue people, that's what they do. that's who they are. but they are going to go out there. right now, the water is going down. the winds are whipping around. still whipping around. not as fierce as before. but we are checking it out. it leaves the water is going down. that is a good thing and a positive sign for us. that is what is going on. >> well, hopefully the water will go down and we will have to see what happens in the morning when the tide comes back in again. >> thank you so much. it is cold and wet there. ain't you, lisa. >> okay, we want to check in with the metropolitan transit authority. the biggest railroad and transportation system in the country. aaron donovan joins us. are you there? >> yes. >> the spokesperson for the mta. maybe you have heard about this

tweet. it says something that saltwater is flooding, it will take a week to start up the subway system again. i heard potentially it was bogus information. >> part of it is right, part of it is not right. so let's get down to this. the specifics. we do have water infiltration in brooklyn. the extent of that, i don't know at this point. but i guess we can confirm that there is sea water in the system. as far as whether it will take a full seven days to restore service, we are not in any sort of position yet to be able to put a timeframe on the service restoration. seven days is what my take, yes, we do have saltwater. this is somewhat similar to

tropical storm i mean. the crews need time to continue to assess the damage as soon as they can get themselves into a safe position out of harms way. >> okay, is it lower manhattan where did you see the hardest hit area? >> yes, a few blocks away in queens, quite a bit of force winds and flooding. lower manhattan is where there is a major concentration of infrastructures. >> are there any assets at all that will be moving tomorrow? any kind of buses? anything from mta that is on the move now? >> i wish i could give you some kind of certainty. we don't know for sure. i would say that if history is a guide, it is unlikely that we will have major restoration tomorrow. >> when will you now? >> we are working through the

night to look at the damage. to assess the damage. as soon as we know, we will put it on every channel we have come to speaking with you guys, put it out of the press and twitter and everything like that. as soon as we know, customers will now. we encourage everyone to keep an eye on our website. we have the most up-to-date information. >> a small question, and i would love to get an answer. even though some people give me a hard time. as you know, the buses are not rolling right now. is it okay to park, as i did, about eight hours ago at a bus stop? >> it is okay to part of the busstop. oakley my car is still there when i get out. i have a sense that no one will be. do you have any insight? >> i don't. we will look to the busstop straight we don't control ticketing or roadwork. >> you are not running the buses today or tomorrow.

so it's open. >> welcome all i can say is yes, we are not running the buses. i cannot say anything about what may happen. i would encourage folks not to park there generally. >> but there are exceptions. >> as you mentioned, you think it is more likely -- it may be more likely the buses could be running before the subways? >> yes, i mean, it is possible. the buses were moved away from the flooding locations. it is not possible to get them started either. in some cases, more quickly than others. every single storm has a lot of different characteristics. >> when you do decide were when you can turn the transportation system back on, that takes time. how long does it take to get the system running?

>> it takes a matter of hours. and it is tough to say. it is tough to pinpoint. in an ideal situation, eight to 12 hours, definitely in an ideal situation, this has been very damaging. very hard to try to speculate. >> wind and rain and flooding that is unique and also has similarity. >> okay, we certainly appreciate you answering our questions? it is 12:23 a.m. we are joined by the police commissioner of the new york city police department. ray kelly. known to us a note to me especially. are you there, commissioner? >> i am. good morning. >> what happened, how is the police department hoping?

>> this is a particularly devastating storm. no question about it. it is significant for power outages in manhattan. the area south of 34th street. obviously, queens and brooklyn, the last count was almost 500,000 people without power. that is a huge number. so there is a lot of damage and a lot of flooding. just as the expert said, the surge would be the thing that is of greatest concern. and that is exactly what it was. >> any reports some people -- well, we have reports of people trapped in some of the evacuation zones.

evacuation's of these. question. many people have you heard a trapped in their homes? >> well, you know, there are hundreds of calls, not regarding , very much trying to get to people in that situation. what happens, the water comes in the water came in quickly and people are trying to get out of the situation. firefighters are attempting to get there. there is just been an overwhelming number of jobs for them to address. >> to you have a sense of what area of the city is the most distressed? >> well, certainly s.i. we felt charter s.i. the beach as well.

those areas are really devastated. the water has come from the ocean to meet the water from the bay. and rockaway and the point in many areas, and those, you know, anyone that knows that area. it's significant. so this is a big deal. is taken awhile to even assess the damage, you know glass so many people suffered. >> concern. are you concerned about looting? and begins to cover parts of looting. an awful lot of police officers deployed. their red lights on. throughout the city.

police officers, particularly in those areas without power. we will continue. >> when the sun comes up, what will you be most concerned about? >> well, most concerned about. >> any specific aspect of recovery? >> i'm sorry? >> any specific aspect of recovery? >> that is true. we have to get started at some point. obviously it's going to be a big issue as far as recovery is concerned. getting the power back. certain areas are hit much more than others. for instance, downed wires are much more of a problem in queens ann staten island in ceetain areas of brooklyn and the arm and hand. so, you know, there is going to be in certain areas, down wires. other areas are going to have to

address the damage from the flooding. it certainly going to be true in lower manhattan. some signa three issues in battery and really all along the lower west side area. you know, that situation is critical. >> the police commissioner who, by the way, is an evacuee, lives in battery park city. he actually had to leave his apartment along with the rest of his family. >> well. one more question before you go, commissioner. we are not encouraging any new yorkers to do is immobile would happen to a person of the park in for a bus stop? >> if they what? >> if they parked in front of a bus stop. >> the mta not rolling in the buses, is there a problem barking by a bus stop? >> you know, not going to worry too much.

[laughter] >> listen. >> more importantly right now. >> indeed. thank you for calling in. keeper of the good work. and we will take a quick break

>> take a look at this video. >> it is an explosion at the con ed plant taken from a different vantage point. we showed you one from queens. this one sentence by a viewer. looks like an authentic, some sort of nuclear explosion. it's pretty dramatic. and this, we believe, contributed to the blackout we are experiencing and seven men and. >> as a matter of fact americana's but person said that it was a fair assessment to think that, in fact, it did

contribute to 2,705,000 people without power right now below 40 streets. >> all right. mike woods is relaxed and refreshed and ready to give us the weather. he started at 4:00 a.m. on monday, came back to midnight tonight. welcome back again. >> thank you very much. the tail end of the storm. we are not completely in the clear just yet. a lot of rain and wind carrying through the tristate region, but it looks like, of course to obviously, the storm made landfall to the south down near cape de and atlantic city yesterday right around 25 and 8:00 p.m. around age, but we are looking at the start becoming extra tropical. that is to say, it is changing its form. still has a lot opposed to it as well. a lot of wind, of rain, lot of snow back around the mountains, the apple license, right around west virginia. for us here in the tristate we're looking at primarily rain.

winding down stages here altogether. this would be colorized infrared satellite imagery. and it looks like most of the moisture is actually rolling of the area as well off their realistic to look the radar. it shows you what the rate is doing. right now the eastern end of long island looking like the only siepi passage, but you are still seeing some pretty solid rain over parts of the five boroughs, northern new jersey, even if you shot it -- thundershowers possible. yes, wind speed still coming in around 45-50 miles-per-hour sometimes dusting hired and that the storm has not moved on, and as expected, it is going to a take its time. as we get today, berlin not looking at a lot more rain. when will be strong. slowly come down, but we've seen the peak wind. that is good news for us there.

these are some of the peak when we have seen, the impressive numbers out there. 94-mile per hour peak wind gusts. that is a category one hurricane . up to 90. eighty miles-per-hour wind. and they saw a lot of flooding of their as well. they're still going to have some major problems. still going through high tide. there will be nearly as bad as what we had from last night. so 77 miles-per-hour. the same thing for you. even at the jfk, 75 ma per hour wind gust. hurricane force winds throughout the tri-state but they're moving on. this is what they have left. not too many folks. a lot of them have been knocked off line for one reason or another. 30-mile per hour wind coming in. forty-three. central park. 46-mile per hour wind. so not too many folks reporting at this point in time, but we

still have a fair amount of wind going on. just not as bad as it was before. here's a look at the wind gusts around the tristate. pretty uniform. a little at a place, 69 degrees, but most of us in the 40-50 miles-per-hour range, 45 for you as you make your way out for bridgeport. your current wind gusts. now, what were going to be dealing with as we go forward to the date, were really going to be watching the high tide cycle. some notice that the high tide cycle as of midnight for kings point made up to 16 feet, and that's why we are looking at the water levels that were very high out there, but the next one that comes to us, notice how much the tide is jobs. here is a moderate level, ten and a half feet. next i tide comes in around 12:00 in the afternoon. today really. and it's only going to be around nine and a half, significantly lower than what we saw in the passing of the storm here, last titi.

same sort of idea. we made up to 15 feet for a last months, but the one that's coming up next, it will be around. at the storm is moving down and the water is able to receive quite a bit. so we are looking a lot better, though, it is still above the flood stage. again, not necessarily clear for everyone. we just have to kind of wait and see what else is to come. your forecast for the next seven days as far as rain goes, well, an on-again off-again coming at you today. still very windy today. don't worry about the wind peaking. that is done. we will see some showers today, even a little more rain expected tomorrow as that area of low pressure takes its time getting out of here. just does not look like it wants to pull away from the northeast for quite awhile. it will eventually caught up in the jetstream and people alike. again, that's going to take until we get to a round thursday . by thursday you're looking in mostly cloudy skies. fifty-eight for a high. going to be a little bit below normal, but at least is trying

out and you're going to see some sunshine. you know that's going to be something that everyone will appreciate. lohan that by the time we get to friday and hopefully keep around for the weekend. that's your forecast as it stands right now. >> if we live that long this. >> yes. a cleanup effort that will really be a mess. we will need that. >> you're so right. it's certainly going to be very important. >> a quick look at the rain outside. this is new jersey. the real number on an intersection. >> it certainly did. > i'm not sure what we're looking at there. >> we will be right back. ♪

>> welcome back, folks. that is an incredible picture. >> we are about to show you a series of pictures from the associated press from around the tristate area. it looks reminiscence of new jersey. let's see some more. wow. it looks like and so adams. >> it does look like an answer lana's photograph. very good. >> i don't know. >> the storm surge. >> is the black-and-white? somebody went up to take some are foes today. >> this is not our right here. bayshore where a car is destroyed. okay. >> bay ridge close. >> that is maryland. okay. the airport. we have been saying jfk.

peter burn. of clothes. >> can see the cancellation. >> the satellite photo of this incredible hurricane. >> can you see, a curious read the guide is now. >> a beautiful shot. >> it's right around -- it looks like it would be, gosh, delaware, maryland. pennsylvania, that little intersection where they'll meet up. looks like a lot of lower manhattan. >> and that is a beautiful shot of the radar there. as we are looking. >> yes. >> yes. i would say, yes. i would say it is right around just maybe the north and east of baltimore right around that region. so right around with them the debt. delaware, maryland, pennsylvania . [talking over each other] >> but, yes. it is becoming an extra tropical storm.

so, the eye is probably not really well defined at this point. the center of the storm, but nonetheless it will take awhile for vestron to completely move out of the area. as a problem with this. the area of low pressure just keeps on going. it makes its trek up to the north and east and gets out of here. but we are still getting hit with a lot of wind and a fair amount of rain. >> we are going to let you continue to gather your information this because we know things are quickly changing field. we are going to take a look at some more pictures. >> well, the associated press. >> look at that. >> that bridge. oh, gosh. look at that water. >> so, yes. >> that is supposed to be concrete. that looks -- deasy the world trade center. basically the only building that has all of its lights on. the buildings in the foreground, lower manhattan. this is a partial blackout the real looking at right there. what we have here? >> it looks like a share.

>> it is a coastguard vessel, i'm told, that looks like it does lovebirds of capsizing. went down off the coast of north carolina. anything else to see? >> empire state building. all along, even though it is in that zone below 40 street. >> time lapse photography, it looks like. the vantage point. >> the associated press. >> do, that is the explosion of the con ed plant. and another leg. is that guy but keyboarding below the manhattan bridge? it looks like he might be subsiding and having some fun. beautiful bikaner, but so much of manhattan plans to darkness. >> all right. we want to go out and check in with one of the reporters who has been out east for most of the evening. john honey in huntington.

john, how's it looking at there? >> well, it is very urey, actually. the power remains off. it's very quiet, very still. take a look. if you can see anything. follow me. basically we are a long new york avenue here in the center of the village, huntington village, and it is just totally dark. we have seen some cars driving by, police checking the area. a couple of people walking by, in fact. here comes an officer right here . come back around. but basically power remains south. a suffolk county officer. power remains out throughout this area for a couple of hundred thousand customers. here on long island, that is a big problem, number one, power. earlier we were along huntington harbor, which is just down the road. and the wind really picked up. prole about 55-69 per hour

gusts, higher than that, and we were lucky because we have some shelter behind a building. the storm was really coming through, but we watched as cheese were snapping as going into people's yards and that has been the issue all day. taking down power lines, causing a lot of roads. the chat -- the fire station just down the road. power remains an issue. it is unclear how long it will stay out. obviously is going to be a while. the other issue, we have been talking about this across the city. tremendous problems, but also throughout long island flooding. along huntington harbor where we were earlier the storm surge came in. even before high tide to mother started reaching harbor walls

and the sea walls around that area. came on and they came out very quickly. we had to just basically wrap everything up and get out of there. we saw a police officer and he said had time ground. we did not hear of anybody getting stranded coming getting trapped by anything like that. those are low-lying areas. officials said that folks should have thought about leaving the areas, but a lot of residents we talked to were basically hunkered down and kind of writing the storm out. add generators, were prepared for the weather, but these areas to flood. areas along the north shore. we understand it is flooded out. we tried to get down the road earlier this evening for. we cannot give any further than about a quarter mile past these barriers because it was just way to flooded out. obviously we did not want to put ourselves of risk, but as i mentioned, we have seen people driving around. a couple of cars and quickly turn around.

obviously throughout the morning and as the sun comes up, we are going to hear and see the impact that this storm is that in the flooding and then the averages as well and the damage to not just some of the neighborhoods, but most likely some of the homes as well. but for now we are safe and sound. we are on dry ground. my heart goes out to some of the other crews. i hope you're doing okay. i wish them the best. for now we are on dry ground. so we are counting or busings. back to you. >> touching go there for a while. we were worried about him, but he will be just fine. where are you staying? making your way back into mustang out there to. >> we have a place to go. staying in a hotel on 495. are going to go back, try to get some rest and then hit it first thing in the morning. >> all right. thank you. great work and we will see you

tomorrow. >> thank you. >> a quick look outside. the wind has not died down, at least from new jersey. let's get that. the rest of that traffic light is about to come down. it did come down and it almost at our reporter in the leg. >> did you say that? >> it did. >> i no there is debris all over the streets right there. i think adrian is doing well. >> it almost as her. >> okay. >> and receive the street signs also looks like it's thinking about coming down. certainly the worst is over, we hope, but we will have to figure out what happens in the morning. we will take a quick break and be back. fresh live news.
