the storm knocked out traffic signals. irene cut power to more than a million homes and businesses. and there are millions more in the path especially in new york city. the city emptied out and hut down. you can see service alerts. and subways and buses and commuter trains will be shut town through monday. in addition they are ordering the first hurricane evacuation that new york city has seen . not everyone is listening. mayor bloomburg warned those who stayed behind they are on your own. where is this storm projected to go. >> the storm has exited in open water and impacting parts of north carolina.

it is raining in north carolina and clouds entering the southern portions of canada. and it is out from the center of the storm. and extend up to 290 miles out from the center of the storm. if you need to keep in mind it is a massive storm and impacting large area in the northeast and midatlantic states . there is dryer air in the center of the storm system. that's something we will continue to monitor. we want to focus on the amount of rain it is tropical storm force winds in the regions and being that threat of tornados, we have a tornado watch issued in the state of jersey and

extend nothing long island and new york city. you are in this. philadelphia you are to the west of the that. this is manage you will watch again. and the winds are gusting up there in porgs of north carolina. and still at hat -- cape hatteras. and they are extending northward and new york city still not too bad. 17 miles per hour and if you are out there right now, you are probably thinking it is not too bad and nothing. and the state farm is headed here and the winds will be on the rise. otherwise, it is a big rain maker. 14 inches of rain out of the north karl color and still raining and we are expecting more rain and general 6 inches of rain from virginia all the way to new england. 20 inches in the mountainous terrain. and that lifting over the mountains. current forecast track just to

the south of norfolk and continue to track northward at 75 miles per hour winds. and so it could weaken a bit. and landfall in new york city and western portions of long island is expected tomorrow morning and by sunday it will be inland. >> sometime tomorrow after sunrise. i don't know if that much matter. >> it is so big that storm surge is a big concern in the region. you are looking at on shore flow and that is two or eight aim. we'll have big problems in portions of long island or on the coast. general thinking. 2:00 a.m. or 8:00 a.m.. high tide. >> shepard: we have talked about the high tide. there is a new moon and that makes it much higher and now add to this and waves on top

of it. >> here's what we are watchful and hopeful about. i am not saying it is diminishing. but watch the orange and then look at white and gray. on the left and see that. that is trier air infusing in this thing and it is like shooting in the middle of it. the hope is, watch. it wrap around the eye and force this thing apart. do we think it is going to happen? no. >> is the national hurricane center say it is going to happen? no. if it is coming to new york city and nothing gets weird and stops it and comes to the west of new york city and fills up the hudson river and floods manhattan and the subway system. this city has huge short-term problems ahead and a economic

blow to the city. when new york suffers, the nation suffers. monday is difficult enough with a lack much transportation and getting two and is a nightmare. this is one of the slowest times of the year for new york city residents. there is almost no one here in august. european tourist and southern schools have gone to school. and people are at summer houses and doing whatever they do. we are not full of new yorkers here anyway. if it was weak, this is one. we'll be in a world of hurt. wehave a new's conference. virginia governor bob americadonald. virginia is in the path . a lot of concern there. >> elizabeth river. it is a bad timing with the winds at their peak at the

same time as high tide. so storm surge is dangerous and we urge no body to go out or anywhere near the water right now. it is extremely, extremely hazardous. aware that we have dramatic power outages in the state currently. and the last report 796,959 customers without power. that means hook ups and that means on average two and half people per hook up. and we are looking close to two million people without power. that is do minia and coops and others we expect it to be over that point and certain with this storm tracking the way it is, tropical storm force winds expected for 6-9 hours and rainfall amounts 10-12 inches or more, far greater number

will. we expect limbs and trees to be down. it is a significant number. 283,000 in hampton roads and more of that in richmond. because of the heavy rain and gusts and number of trees down. 350,000 in richmond and 21,000 in northern virginia and others is scattered around the state. >> residents can go to www. wipdm.com, if they want more information. please be patient and they will not all be fixed tonight. tomorrow, crews are pulled off of the road because of the danger to them and they will get back be soon as it is safe, it will be a while. days before all power is fully restored. and up to nine inches of rain are expected in hampton roads area. and potential exists up to 15

inches. we have several localits in the route 4 60 corridor received upwards of 16 inches and it will rain for a considerable time as you can see on the maps. this is a dangerous situation. it is significant in virginia. and many of the areas will take a while for rivers to creast and enter a flood stage. we are expecting a day or longer of challenges when it comes to high water. >> now, sadly this storm has already claimed two lives. one in bruns vick and new port news from falling trees. we have a unconfirmed point of third fatalities because of a downedistry. i mentioned that we have

300,000 evacuation and as much as tens of thousands of others who voluntarily evacuated and 49 localits declared local emergency declarations and all of eastern virginia and jurisdiction to the west. we have 14 localits that are ordered mandatory evacuations and most of the those were completed by noon today. let me give you the status report on the roads. all of the bridge tunnel in. hampton roads have been closed and commissioner warren will up date you on when they plan to reopen those. they have reponded to 152 track crashes and disabled vehicles. and a lot trouble in the state

of virginia. two million virginia residents. he said 700,000 hook ups and two million virginiians without power and add that to north carolina and quick math indicates three million americans who are without power as fox reports tonight. >> at least six or more deaths that are contributed to this. if you thought that arhine will be a nothing strong. it is deadly so far and continuing to be on the move. one of those helping us to tell the story in cape hatteras in north carolina and all of the roads are closed and no power. >> good evening, shep. we have been had power.

the dunes and breaches occurred of frisco and significant break in the dunes. we the outer banks of that is cut off from the main land again just like it was in isa belle. it is dark and it is very heavy wind and still as the hurricane loses a track up north. we have had torrential rain and battering waves and the sound on the north side of cape hatteras was monopolied of water. it rained back to the west. 5:00, the water came rushing back the sound. you can see people doing that before the water came rushing back five hours later. it is an incredible day in

cape hatteras. >> what a story you have seen and told body today. >> one of the questions tonight, exactly where is this storm going as it makes land. second hit will be around new york city. and a scientist will be here to give us an explanation for what that means. and word out of new england. boston's public transit city will be shut down. and all day tonight and tomorrow and monday through the evening rush. historic emily and that is emily. it is irene. why i want it to be emily is beyond me. times square. no body. beautiful thing. love it.

is a dry area. the storm has been round and well formed and organized for a very long time. sometimes, when they get better organize tighten speed up. but in this case, there is dry air that is coming underneath the eye in the southwest quad rant of the this thing. if it continues, we could have weakening here. we are not predicting that. fox news weather center is not projecting that. but our eyes, it is there. there is dry air below it and we are hopeful. rick is live in atlantic city new jersey where all is quiet. hello, rick,. >>reporter: last hour or two driving rain and high winds and if you look down the boardwalk, it is empty.

east river met across canal street. and new york city is vulnerable to salt water flooding which most of the media have concentrated on, but the other thing is fresh water flooding it is it a wet storm and drop a lot of moisture and there is no place to q. , it is all concrete and bed rock. >> shepard: we had a big rain and so the ground is saturated. >> guest: it is just saturate then you have the wind acts, that remember, the first place you see hills on the atlantic coast is long island. that channels the winds and makes them stronger and then the sky scrapers. they tend to compress the wind and make it goes faster and that pulls out the windows and we saw it in hurricane ike in

houston, the streets were gatered with glass and then rooftops. covered with satellite dishs and water tanks and all sorts of things that can be torn loose. winds in the top of the building are stronger than down in the street. you have a four-ring circus going on in the same time. >> winds in the street level, this is not including the buildings. winds go up 20 stories and be 20 percent stronger and cent percent that is 30 percent and that is big numbers. and we have different sizes and the modeling has shown that the wind paterns in the down size of the building winnows smash in. this is a complexity that we never saw before. having a major city hit by

norfork, virginia. dry air is starting to work near the center of the storm system. you can see it eating away near the convection right there. very big in size. i don't want anyone to breathe a sigh of relief. it is a good sign because of how close the storm is to land. but it is over water and likely going to see more convection and thunderstorms reform in the next several hours. something that does help hurricanes restrengthen and tropical storms restrengthen is water temperatures in the low 80s help them gain strength. temperatures in the region where the storm is in the upper cents. that doesn't mean that we think it is going to weaken it is a large storm system and takes a long time for them to change. it is enough warm water to

help contain the strength. as ited has to the new york city and making landfall in parts of the landfall and long island. part of the reason it is tracking northward a trop digging in to the west of it. that will help speed it up. and impacting new york city and long island. we don't think it is going to happen. they are not the most reliable model. it is in new york city and portions of long island. we expect it in long island and new york city 4-8 feet. that is significant. there is two scenarios. one if it at as west of the new york city. that is worst case for new york harbor and all of that water will pile up and battery city. that was evacuated because of

this reason and potential storm surge there . what i think will happen. i think it will drift over central portions of long island and we'll look at a storm surge of 4-8 feet. and that will help things out in new york city. but again, looking at impact with storm surge and a lot of heavy rain and threat of tornados, there is a tornado watch that is issued out until tomorrow morning in new york city and much of morsion - portions of new jersey. i hope you are safe and hunkered down. there being be a tornado right now on the ground and big rain maker 6 ov 12 inches and locally 20 inches. >> shepard: 6-12 and some spots as much as 20. and then add the storm surge. >> it is a lot of water. >> complete updates throughout the night and we are expecting the latest update from the
