get back into port in order to protect their catch and protect their vessels as well. as far as where this storm is and where it's going, right now it has a bare row met barometrif 927. below 925, that would be the strongest storm in this part of the world as long as we have been keeping records. may do that today, and ramp things down. but that's not the end of the story. but the waves will be huge as well. 50 footers in some cases throughout the islands and the entire western half of alaska will be affected by this. but, again, pumps up so much warm air. this was once a typhoon. it's going to react. the atmosphere is going to react to where all the arctic air is driving down to the south. windchills in dallas in the 20s. and as far north as bismarck below zero. that's the arctic chill. dan, paula, back to you. >> winter's here whether he like it or not. and major new developments in the botched recall of exploding and deadly air bags.
