brian todd is there.been talking to people all day who saw some of the worst of this hurricane. what did they tell you? >> reporter: pamela, they're just coming to grips with their loss, their personal property loss and the sense that their lives have been disrupted almost completely. this is a pile of personal belongings that people from this apartment complex have been taking out to the curb. it's unsalvageable, beds, tables, clahairs. here's what one resident had to say about his losses here. >> this is my great great grandmother's rocking chair. >> oh no. >> this is a picture that my mom had given us. >> can you salvage anything? >> maybe the chair. people are saying we have raw sewage backed up and everything. it's gross. it's nasty. it's tough. you start asking yourself questions about, you know, what you want to do next and where do you go and do you rebuild it. >> what do you think? do you want to stay, rebuild? >> we love naples. we've been coming here for 30 years. i'm not the boss. got to talk

brian todd has a closer look for us.what else can you tell us about this announcement from putin? >> it's ominous for many people. it's going to be tough now for the ukrainians inside those regions of ukraine that putin claims to have annexed. especially ukrainians there who don't side with russia. putin's declaration of martial law in four regions of ukraine could have a crushing effect on ukrainians in the region who don't side with russia. >> you can expect curfews and property being seized and the mobilization of civilians for service, which is again a war crime. >> it could also mean tighter censorship, restrictions on public gatherings, more law enforcement power for russian officials in those areas of ukraine. the declaration of martial law al allowed for the so-called evacuation of people under the pretext of getting them to safety. tens of thousands in the kherson region has been relocated as ukrainian forces made gains there. sarah mend elson says that may not rise to the level of ethnic cleansing but -- >> the

and brian todd is in auin norfo virginia. high tide is right about now. what has that meant for flooding? >> reporter: well, if you take a look at this, ian is the storm that [ inaudible ] the united states. we are at high tide right now as you mentioned, this is the hour of real danger, they have warned people here in the hague neighborhood to move your cars, move to hire ggher ground, clea too late for this vehicle here. we saw a delivery truck come through where i am walking through right here. this section of the street in the hague neighborhood. and that delivery rubbing almost didn't make it out of here. the water came into his grill, it started smoking the engine a little bit. we don't know about these vehicles over here, whether they are in danger or not. they could be. but what we've been told, this is kind of a combination of remnants of hurricane ian, nor'easter, plus high tides that are higher than normal. now, the good news that we got from the national weather service a few minutes ago was that because the winds have shifted to the north/nor
