washington? >> no, baltimore. >> oh, baltimore? >> um, that's a very good question. [laughter] i'm not sure really how to, where to do children's programming of the educational stuff because i guess pbs is the first place to think of for something like that. >> yeah. been there. >> yeah. i just don't know much about that area. prime time i kind of know more about. >> i would suggest, um, that you, um, don't wait on the network bees to anoint -- networks to anoint your vision, that you take it to the marketplace. you take it to the internet. because there is only a limited amount of space on network, and they only, they already have their, what their marching orders or what they're going to do or not do. i would suggest that like you did with your self-publishing, you said, i'm not waiting. put it on the internet, youtube or whatever and create, you know, fans, followers or whatever and let them come to you after you've created the, you know, the momentum. but don't wait on anyone. take it to the marketplace, and the marketplace will decide. >> right, thank you. >> an

here's washington, d.c. here's baltimore. there's the big red square. almost all the way down to richmond, virginia with that new flash flood warning that was just issued. here's the storm, spinning off the coast. there's the eye getting into the water again and it will move up. this track has not changed. the forecast from the hurricane center has been stellar. another government agency that did a fantastic job with this storm. 70 mile-per-hour winds. even into connecticut. that's going to bring down trees. my biggest concern is the water, the rains still coming down, six to ten inches of rainfall on top of there's areas that have already seen significant rain. philadelphia this month, wolf, has had 13 inches of rain. those trees are in saturated ground. up gate wind gust like we're expecting 60 miles per hour and those trees will fall on hopes. that's the biggest concern i have. when the winds really pick up you need to be on the inside of your home somewhere safe just because these trees will be going every where. >> if you're in new york city, chad,

washington, d.c. and baltimore, you're going to be feeling the tropical storm force winds here by this evening. if the winds probably somewhere between 45 and 65 miles per hour. those are going to be your gusts. large branches from healthy trees are going to come down in this area. then it's heading on up towards long island probably by tomorrow morning. one of the areas we're expecting to get hit very hard is atlantic city. that's where we find our jason carroll. jason, what's the latest? some of that rain already moving in along with the wind. >> reporter: actually, we've been dealing with a lot of wind out here lately. i have my trusty wind gauge i've been using to monitor the wind. sustained at about 30, 35 miles per hour. that's what we're dealing with out here. obviously the concern is not just about the wind but the potential for flooding here. i'm standing right by the very acoopic atlantic city boardwalk. you can see the casinos boarded up. all the major casinos in the city are closed. the city under a man

so if you think about how much of that there is to look at coming into washington, d.c. or into baltimore or cities up and down the northeast corridor, there are lots of tunnels and bridges that the trains go up and under and through and all of that is going to have to be looked at and we are looking at many hours of shutdown of service of amtrak, and obviously, these will vary by lines and some they can quickly check and determine, but what an amtrak official says that this is basically what amtrak goes through on the west coast when there is an earthquake, and they are doing the same thing here. so, a lot of this is new to us on the east coast, but i'm sure a lot of the viewers on the west coast are saying, welcome to the party. >> right. >> but that is a considerable, and that is a considerably going to affect obviously the afternoon commute and potentially tomorrow morning for amtrak and the northeast corridor, and secondly, a homeland security official tells me that a quick pulse around washington, d.c. finds no reports of any damage or any injuries from the earthquake here in the wa

the mayors of washington, d.c., and baltimore announced that sandbags are available for residents inies. let's take a look at what's going on in the northeast right now. again, big worries about this, particularly in transportation areas. officials have declared states of emergencies in new york, in new jersey, and in connecticut. this one is going to be good. drive around the highway for free, tolls suspended on parts of the garden state parkway. the point is to help with mandatory evacuations in atlantic city and those surrounding barrier islands. they want people to move out of the areas. new york city is considering mandatory evacuations of coney island, battery park, and parts of statin island. here's the danger. you use tunnels to get into new york, those could get flooded subways and trains could be should down. emergency agencies in rhode island, massachusetts, new hampshire and maine are urging citizens to be prepared including putting together the emergency kits that will last for up to three days, food, nonperishable food, clean water, and batteries and flashlights, like t

that they are operating with speed restrictions between washington and baltimore. and this earthquake now being downgraded to 5.8. initially we had been told it was a 6.0. 5.9. now the u.s.g.s. is saying it was a 5.8 magnitude earthquake. new york city mayor michael bloomberg w

have the nation under a fundamental threat and if you do not get an army into washington the capital can collapse and in baltimore you have a near insurrection and maryland officials saying stop -- don't send them through baltimore or through maryland at all and lincoln said they can't go under maryland. they have to get here somehow. he suspend the writ of habeas corpus on the eastern front. was that necessary wartime measure. and subsequently he will suspend habeas corpus and a lot of the arrests had to do with incidents that were genuine guerrilla warfare or resistance to the draft. that is a mark against him but people call him a tyrant is going too far. if he were a tyrant he wouldn't have had an election. he still had that election. his ultimate goal was to save the country, preserve the union and put it on a basis of freedom. that is what he did. if you look at the confederacy these were not libertarians. is that an answer? people are laughing in agreement or in derision? >> paul mackey. my question to your anecdote about reagan and the parking garage the u.s.'s credit rating got downgraded from aaa to aa

washington, d.c. airports were closed for a short time. a baltimore/philadelphia, a couple of the new york city airports, jfk and newark were closed down and that caused a big ripple effect. and then evacuations started in places like washington, d.c. you had a little trouble getting to our camera, didn't you? you got caught in traffic there in the washington area? >> that's absolutely right. d.c. traffic, not good to begipp with. and when you add an awful lot of shaken people, a lot of people having to evacuate early from their buildings. it can cause -- what we would cause a "secondary hazard." >> you were at the u.s. geological survey at the time? where were you when you were hit? at our headquarters building in reston, virginia, that initial feeling you're wondering what it is but as the shaking continues for a little bit it becomes pretty obvious and so i dutyfully got under a good solid object, my desk. the concern, prebl not for seeing an actual building collapse. but you can get a lot of damage just caused by what we call nonstruck occural dam

>> guest: in baltimore maryland after living here in washington for a number of years. c-span: if we saw you -- you and your environment where you're putting all this together actually writing a, what it looked like? >> guest: is a little cubbyhole in the rest of a -- a target of an old victorian house with files and spread all the way down through the basement, fireproof files that go all over the place the completed over the 16 years. but where i actually right is right in the top -- would be claustrophobic except to put into skylights that look out and let in a lot of light. c-span: much time you spend there? i mean, obviously the period and many hours you spend to write 1,006 utter pages? >> guest: absolutely none. my book discipline is that if i don't certify o'clock in the morning and do what i call stewing for a while, then days can get away from me. if i start after a break to take the kids to school, have to get going in the morning and sit for a certain number of hours a day. i can't start at five and go into the evening the way i did when i first started beca
