trapped. a reporter whom we were speaking with us katherine underwood is trapped in an area of road along with residents. another resident called to report that 21 people are trapped at moore's hotel at the bottom of that spillway area in a town called pratssville new york. it's a rural area with not a high density population but certainly this dam a matter of great concern. a level "b" emergency and working to find out more about it. we'll have more as we get it on fox news channel. let's go to mike tobin is following things. he is in rockaway beach, new york. >> another band of rain is whipping through this area right

now. not too much water from it. it is more water compounds the problem and clearing out all the people hoping to get a look around to see the destruction. we can show it to you. in an area as broad channel there was a house that was built on a foundation of stilts that went down in the water. the rising tide it all served to reach up and tear the house off the foundation. if you look at the debris a boat has been slammed up against the debris that used to be a house. you see a jet ski that was deposited in the center of town as the floodwaters receded. you see a lot of debris out on the street. mostly are trees that have been knocked down. the trees knocked down the power lines and we have some 4 million people who are without power right now. they can't expect to have lights turn on anytime soon. as long as you have conditions like this with the rain picking

up and winds picking up, power crews are not keen about getting up on the power lines. >> shep: you are headed up to the gilboa dam. all the best to you. chief correspondent jonathan hunt has been on long beach. low-lying areas. congratulations, you are getting wet again. >> last 45 minutes we are getting pummeled what i assume is one of outer bands on the back side of this storm. we want to emphasize what officials and across long island has been saying to residents. don't head back to your homes.... >> shep: the signal cut out. >> reporter: i was just saying the danger is not past as officials have been saying to residents out here. they still got a high tide

coming in and still the possibility of more flooding. these waves came whipping in. they came underneath the boardwalk and straight through across to what is called broadway where they did a lot of damage to a lot of homes. we were talking to the nassa uconn executive being the western part of long island. he said they are just beginning assessments and he believes that the damage costs will run to easily millions and millions of county in nassau county alone. so they begin the process of trying to see how much damage is done. these residents begin the process of coming back looking into their homes and seeing how much damage is done. it's hard to believe that a lot of people haven't suffered a great deal of damage. there are a bunch of people looking to see has gone on.

they seem to be smiling in general. a lot of them have taken a long walk and in the last 45 minutes and they have been caught by the outer band. message from officials, if you don't need to leave your home, please don't. stay inside. wait until this thing is completely gone. >> shep: jonathan, this is exactly as predicted. you watch the last loop of the radar. you don't see it on this particular picture. this is why officials said please stay home. god knows let's hope nobody gets hurt after all the flooding. somebody to get hurt would be a real shame. jonathan hunt live in the suburb of long beach. we're following the issue with this dam up in the catskills.
