>> some of the most densely populated areas are in the crosshairs. tropical storm and hurricane warnings are up from new jersey to cape cod, massachusetts. authorities warning of inland flooding as the storm moves straight up through new england. >> transportation already affected as amtrak cancels all trains between new york and boston. power outages also a concern. connecticut's biggest utility warning that more than half of its 1.25 million customers could lose power for more than a week. let's get the latest from rob marciano. he's in westbrook, connecticut. we can see the early bands coming through, rob. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. the bands have been coming through the last couple of hours. connecticut power has deployed 4,000 crews in anticipation of this storm. that's the largest deployment they seen in decades, and this is going to be the biggest storm since 1991 when hurricane bob came through the area. this is long island sound. it's typically calm.

that's what we're seeing now with an offshore wind, but with rain bands coming in and when the tide comes up, we'll see higher water for sure. we've seen a lot of water from new jersey and parts of new york city from enhanced bands that have come through. eight inches in parts of new jersey. we have flash flood warnings still in effect there. right now the center of henri which has weakened to below hurricane status is about 70 miles to our southeast and it's expected to make landfall around noontime in connecticut. that will bring big surge and waves as well. that's some of the impacts. surge that will be three to five feet in some cases higher than that. ten plus inches of rainfall in some spots, and with the wind and weakened ground because of all the moisture there we'll see widespread power outages as the storm comes on board. it will be with us for a couple days. dan? >> rob, thank you. we'll be coming back to you throughout the show. as rob mentioned, henri is heading for areas that haven't seen a direct hit from a hurricane for 30 years or more.

many people are now scrambling to prepare. trevor ault is in montauk. the eastern tip of long island. trevor, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, dan. henri is about 40 miles southeast of us right now, and we're seeing the early signs of his arrival, the fits and starts of downpours. winds sustaining around 40 miles an hour. we saw overnight gigantic waves topping out at about ten feet. they've just continued to pummel this beach. you heard from rob talking about the tide moving in. this massive sand bank, we're told the power of the storm will easily wash all of this away revealing some emergency sandbags they strategically placed here. the larger unknown is the potential damage to homes and businesses and to people. that's what's driving the concern right now. this morning henri closing in on the northeast, 55 million people in its path. multiple states declaring a state of emergency bracing for winds up to 80 miles per hour. storm surge up to 5 feet.

>> it is as serious as a heart attack. >> reporter: in new jersey the heavy rain from the storm already flooding streets. residents preparing for the worst. store shelves empty by people stocking up on bread and water. >> it's all hands on deck. >> reporter: long island gas station lines stretching around the block. ♪ i just can't smile ♪ severe weather and flash flooding ahead of henri's hit halting new york city's concert saturday. tens of thousands told to seek shelter. >> due to approaching severe weather, all should move quickly and calmly to the nearest exit. >> we drove down from boston to come. we were -- it was a short-lived time for us. >> reporter: on new york's fire island, ferries filling up after a voluntary evacuation order. now today several ferry and train services are shut down. >> it's the end of our summer vacation.

it's ultimately been through it. really rough. we're hoping to get back over there. >> reporter: new york national guard troops deploying. fema crews prepping emergency equipment. >> we've put away everything that's loose, flying around. we're gearing up in case we need the generator. we're just going to ride it up. >> reporter: in rhode island, boats pulled from the water. massachusetts, families boarding up homes and businesses. connecticut's governor worried hundreds of thousands could lose power. >> stay safe, stay home. >> reporter: we saw businesses shuttering their doors early. we watched employees trying to figure out in realtime how to move in their outdoor equipment, their tables and chairs. they never had to do that before. that's how rare this kind of storm is. everyone here still in montauk who did not evacuate yesterday are told to find shelter and stay put. on top of heavy rains and winds, there's also the potential for an isolated tornado. whit? >> important for people to listen to local officials. trevor, thank you.

our coverage of henri will continue through the morning on "good morning america." we move on to afghanistan and the ongoing humanitarian crisis as the u.s. tries to evacuate american citizens and thousands of afghans who want to escape the taliban. the chaos turning deadly outside the airport gates in kabul, amid a crush of people desperate to get out. ian pannell joins us on the latest on the ground. ian, good morning. p>> reporter, from kabul. we're outside the pakistan embassy. the crowds you can see gathered are similar to the crowds at the airport. it's much more orderly here. pakistan and qatar are the only two countries trying to help get people out of the city. the chaos doesn't seem to be improving, and into the airports. threats from isis militants, have some planes coming in having combat landings, and some

planes are taking off. the u.s. evacuating nearly 4,000 people from afghanistan over the last 24 hours. that's still fewer than the day before. >> the u.s. military air lifted nearly 6,000 evacuees in a single day. six u.s. military c-17s and 32 charters departed kabul. >> reporter: the u.s. administration insisting evacuation measures are ramping up. president biden saying there was anywhere between 10,000 and 15,000 u.s. citizens still in afghanistan with 2,500 americans among the 17,000 evacuated from kabul. this as the chaos and confusion outside the airport enters its seventh day. this is how bad things have got. the uk ministry defense confirming to abc news, seven afghan civilians died in the crush saturday right outside the

airport gate. devastating video showing bodies covered by white tarps. people hydrated in the to keep- blistering heat. >> stay there. stay there. >> reporter: despite the growing turmoil, tens of thousands remain. many scrambling to get out of the country. the u.s. embassy now advising u.s. citizens still here to avoid the airport altogether and seek shelter unless they have, quote, individual instructions from the u.s. government representative. the debacle unfolding over a week after the taliban took hold of the capital kabul. president biden pledging to evacuate all americans and afghans who aided the war efforts from the country. >> we'll do everything we can to provide safe evacuations for our afghan allies. let me be clear. any american who wants to come home, we will get you home. >> reporter: and on a u.s.

military plane, this afghan woman going into labor mid-flight while fleeing the country. the baby delivered after landing, both now in a medical facility and in good condition. while some people on the flights leaving the chaos behind, for those left in kabul the fear of the taliban driving them to get out. military vets stepping in to help. lieutenant colonel scott mann is part of task force pineapple, a group of veterans using connections on the ground to try to help get allies to safety. >> i'm sitting here now because of some actions afghan friends took years ago on my behalf, and i'm still here because of it. now it's our turn. >> reporter: we spoke to one afghan woman, her father a human rights activist, along with the rest of her family still stuck in kabul. >> i'm trying to have faith and hope they're going to get out of the country. that is the only way i can survive this. >> reporter: this morning the

british defense minister writing that if the u.s. wants to extend the august 31st deadline he will certainly support it, basically indicating there's very little time to get people out. i have to say at the current rate of getting people through to the airport and out of the country it seems impossible they can meet that deadline. eva? >> so many people waiting. ian pannell in kabul. the chaos at the airport is only adding to the pressure on president biden whose promise to have the u.s. withdrawal done by the end of the month. let's get the latest from the white house and abc's maryalice parks. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, eva. over the last few days president biden talked to seven heads of state as the white house and u.s. allies try to manage these evacuation efforts. the president finally did cancel plans to go home yesterday, not surprising given the severity of the situation on the ground right now. he was briefed by his top military and national security

advisers. the white house released a photo you see there saying the discussions focused on security operations, counterterrorism and secur securing additional locations around the world with our allies for those evacuation planes to land. you get the sense in washington that this is an absolute scramble. members of congress and advocacy groups are increasingly upset, demanding answers, working to try to connect with those in need. we're hearing anecdotal stories of some people who have been safely inside the airport in kabul, but still waiting for days for flights to get out without basic provisions or provisions starting to run thin. yesterday the state department confirmed that some unaccompanied minors were evacuated. they're working to reunite those children with their families. over the weekend, like you heard ian mention, u.s. airlines given notice they could be called upon to help with the evacuation

measures. calling for 18 aircraft from major american airlines like american airlines, united, hawaiian airlines. we're told those would be sent to other bases where evacuees have been sent, and president biden will again deliver remark on the state of the evacuation effort this afternoon at the white house. dan? >> so much pressure on the white house this morning. maryalice, thank you. the secretary of defense lloyd austin is defending the administration's handling of the situation in afghanistan. he spoke exclusively with our chief global affairs correspondent, martha raddatz. >> you've got tens of thousands of people desperate to get to the airport. surrounded by the taliban. there are reports they're going door to door. we have seen that with reporters on the ground. why can't the u.s. send convoys out there? make a deal with the taliban saying let us get our people and bring them back.

>> we continue to work to de-conflict the environment with the taliban and allow our people to get in, as many to get in as possible. if you have an american passport and the right credentials, the taliban has been allowing people to pass safely through. >> not in all cases. >> there's no such thing as an absolute in this environment, martha. there have been incidents of people having tough encounters withaliban. as we learn about those incidents, we certainly go back and engage the taliban leadership and press home to them that our expectation is they allow our people with the appropriate credentials to get through the check points. >> let's bring in martha raddatz now. martha will be hosting "this week" where she'll air the full interview. martha, good morning to you. i want to pick up on something

that was implied at least in that exchange. do you think there's a chance the u.s. military would go into kabul and launch military operations in order to rescue people into a city now controlled by the taliban? >> reporter: the problem, as you well know, dan, it's tough to go out into a crowded city with convoys. they would have to have some negotiations with the taliban to do that. we know three american helicopters went over the wall and picked up 169 people. i talked to secretary austin about that. that was only 1,000 yards. they left 1,000 yards. i do ask him about going into the city. he said it's something they have discussed. i'm sure discussions are ongoing because, as nicely as he put that if you have a passport you can get in, that's not always true. there has been some violence and there have been people turned away once they get to the airport.

the problem is they're sending them to places at capacity. qatar is now at capacity. they can't really take anymore people. the next problem is where do those people go to live after that? there are very few countries who have decided to take them. >> problems on top of problems. questions on top of questions. let me go back to the ground in kabul. you referenced that there's ongoing communication between the united states and the taliban. do you have a sense how cooperative that relationship is? >> i think there's a great deal of cooperation from senior leaders in the taliban. essentially they want all those americans out of there. the problem is the fighters on the ground. they're not necessarily getting the word. you've seen ian all this week. those fighters on the ground wielding ak-47s at people,

pointing them at people they shouldn't be pointing them at. that's the disconnect there. the senior leaders who want to appear diplomatic and control that country and get the americans out of there, aren't necessarily getting the word down to the fighters. >> in our remaining moments here, i would love to hear your reflections after having covered the war for 20 years, where do you think about where we stand? >> i think this withdrawal right now is absolutely disastrous. the military withdrawal, and i was there for that a couple months ago in kabul and at the air base, was done flawlessly. they got out rapidly. the problem is they got out of there before the americans were safe that were still there and particularly our afghan allies. it is absolutely heartbreaking to see these people who have risked their lives for america desperate and frightened and some of them i know. we are getting messaged all the

time, as you know, please, please help us. there's no path forward that they know exactly how to take. >> so much fear and desperation on the ground. martha, appreciate getting your insight and analysis on a sunday morning. i want to remind everybody tune in to "this week" for much more of martha's exclusive interview with defense secretary lloyd austin and an exclusive with republican senator joni ernst about the effort to expedite visas for our afghan allies. that's coming up on abc later this morning. whit, back over to you. let's go back to henri. coming ashore. about to make landfall. rob marciano is out there in connecticut watching it all very closely. rob, looks like the conditions getting worse where you are. >> reporter: the rain is coming down. we're along the connecticut coast line. we are protected by long island itself. this is the sound. we don't have big waves here. we have surge. 50 miles to our east it's exposed. they are getting the waves right now rolling through the bay and they'll have a big storm surge.

the center will come on shore around noontime. with this computer model, we have a lot of enhanced rainfall well to the west. we've seen six to eight inches of rain in new york city and new jersey. we'll see more of that as this thing comes on shore. we'll have wind and surge and heavy rains to the west. a number of states under flash flood watches including big cities. that's going to be at least tonight and maybe tomorrow. this rain will create some flooding and also some power outages with the wind which will only be increasing. that's a check on what's happening with henri. time now for your local forecast.

>> reporter: with this track further east that takes the dangerous winds out of new york city out of play. your backyard barbecue should be okay. you'll get a lot of rain. you may see some flooding in the basement. be prepared with that for henri. >> i'll be in the basement bailing everything out. >> with candles and pb and j. >> the odds of that are low. another record in the books for the wnba superstar diana taurasi. going into last night's game she already had 9,000 points under her belt. she needed two assists to become the first player in wnba history to surpass 9,000 career points and 2,000 career assists.

well, she did it and then some, recording four assists against the dream, oh, and let's not forget that fifth straight gold medal she just won in tokyo. she's also the wnba's all-time leading scorer. >> amazing. coming up icu crisis. hospitals are filling up over covid and struggling with a hortage of nurses. also coming up, stretching your dollar. more americans are shopping at dollar stores these days. we'll explain this boom. sponsored by geico.merica" - 15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance. jason, did you know geico could save you hundreds on car insurance and a whole lot more? cool. so what are you waiting for? mckayla maroney to get your frisbee off the roof? i'll get it. ♪ (upbeat music) ♪ ♪ ♪ whoa. here you go.

burnout. abc's marcus moore has the latest from dallas. marcus, good morning. >> reporter: whit, good morning. cases and hospitalizations have been on the rise as covid-19 surges across the country. this morning there is word that the civil rights icon reverend jesse jackson and his wife are in the hospital battling covid-19. this morning covid hospitalizations in the u.s. climbing at an alarming rate. over 95,000 people infected with covid, receiving care in hospitals around the country. more than 23,000 icu beds currently occupied with covid patients. overnight abc news learning civil rights icon reverend jesse jackson and his wife are hospitalized with covid-19. a statement from the couple's son saying, quote, doctors are currently monitoring the condition of both. the fully vaccinated 79-year-old received his first dose of the pfizer shot in january, now experiencing a breakthrough hospitalization. meanwhile, this hospital in portland, oregon, setting up additional icus for overflow.

>> it's alarming to think about if something did happen that our icu wouldn't be able to accept anyone else. we are so full with covid. >> reporter: over 93% of covid-19 patients on ventilators there have not gotten the vaccine. >> it just keeps happening. it doesn't stop. there is no end. >> reporter: the relentless surge driving health care workers to their breaking points. >> we're exhausted. we're frustrated. we're aggravated. this could have been prevented had people got vaccinated. >> reporter: here in texas, the outbreak is impacting emergency response times. at the same time children's hospitals across the country are treating a record number of kids with covid. >> it's a traumatic experience to see your child on a ventilator, on a breathing machine not breathing on their own. >> reporter: a grim reality for emilia cannon whose 3-year-old daughter aurora is battling the virus in a tulsa hospital. >> it's the hardest thing i've ever had to watch. >> reporter: as cases continue to skyrocket, the cdc issuing

updated guidance for travellers saying that people with an increased risk of severe illness should avoid travel on cruise ships, regardless of vaccination status. >> the reality is people who have the increased risk aren't going to be wanting to travel anyway. really keeping everybody healthy is top priority for the cruise lines. >> reporter: the delta variant has been driving this fourth wave of covid-19 infections. this morning we know that more than 70% of people 12 and older in the u.s. have received at least one dose of the vaccine in the fight to stop the spread. >> we're seeing the numbers increase. joining us now is dr. julie morita, executive vice president of the robert wood foundation. we're awaiting full approval for the pfizer vaccine on monday. i'm curious what that will mean for the fight against covid. >> good morning, eva. the fda full approval of the vaccine couldn't come at a

better time. it means for a lot of reasons that people might get -- more people might get vaccinated. there have been people sitting on the fence waiting for the full approval to help them make the decision to be vaccinated. in addition to that, businesses, schools, health care facilities have been waiting for the full approval to move forward with mandates. the approval of the vaccine is based on science and real world experience with over 200 million doses administered in the united states. that should signal to people that it's safe and appropriate to get this vaccine, especially at this time when delta is surging. >> let's talk about some of that real world experience. we're starting to hear more and more reports of break through cases. are you concerned at all about that?

>> we are hearing that there are break through cases. the cases are predominantly more mild cases, mild or moderate cases. people ending up in the hospital, being intubated, ventilated and dying are people who have been unvaccinated. while break through cases may preventing serious illness and death. >> we just heard in marcus' piece the report that the cdc's guidance that people at risk of severe illness should avoid cruises. what do you make of this? >> these recommendations are consistent with public health recommendations in general. typically there are more stringent requirements for people at high risk. for a recommendation to come out for people that are at the highest risk for dying or being hospitalized, avoid cruise ships where you're unable to social distance well and it makes sense

and is appropriate for people of high risk. >> dr. julie morita, thank you for joining us. dan, over to you. let's go back to our other big story we're covering this morning, hurricane henri, the storm hitting new england, the first big storm to hit new england in decades. rob marciano is on the ground in connecticut. rob, what's the latest? >> reporter: hurricane bob, 1991 i remember, that's the last hurricane to hit new england. this right now just below hurricane status. we're in between rain bands right now. around the corner and past the border in rhode island this is port judith, it's rocking and rolling as far as the atlantic surf is concerned, and that's where the biggest surge will be as well. let's go through the track and impacts as far as the wind is concerned. right now the max winds are 70 miles an hour and the center is expected to come to shore around noontime along the
