we talked about evac wakes but they were first on the scene this morning and one of the five occupants inside needed help getting out of the building and berkeley police officers ran in there and two officers reported seeing heavy smoke just above their heads and certainly they are being called for helping that woman get out. they are continuing to make sure this fire is completely out. one of the other challenges they are standing on ashby avenue, we have one lane blocked off as this hose lane stretches. yet again, the investigation getting underway, they say this fire does not appear to be suspicious. >>> over also night, two san jose men were shot minutes apart on the same block. one told police he was walking in the seven trees neighborhood. he heard a car behind him, next thing he knew he was being shot. then another man said the same thing, he was shot as well. both men are expected to survive. >>> emotions boiled over at oakland city hall last night. >> can you remove those people who are protesting and refuse to take their seats. >> they say the police shooting of alan blueford

to bring its operating rooms and 40,000 tons of icu's and hospital beds and transports and medical evac, whether we fly you in or float you in. that's what we'd like to bring. and like everybody else in the medical business, i wake up every morning and hope the next day i'm out of a job. i hope the next day that world peace has been declared and disease has been stamped out and nobody will be ill, nobody will be harmed or injured. until that day comes, it's my responsibility to be able to speak to the communicate dapblt and the chief of naval operations and tell them we are ready to go when you need us. and so i'm very proud to be here and witness and to somewhat extent participate in the collaborative efforts that are being made. i had a chance to be up close and personal tlau probably the worst hurricanes in the gulf coast in the last 40 years: ivan, dennis, katrina. and katrina i was the commander of the medical forces in pensacola, florida, and i owned the branch clinics that existed in new orleans, pascagula and gulf port, mississippi. we thought we had dodged the bullet and then t

right now, national guard troops called out by governor cuomo and bayview, long island, they were evacation waited as well. they were cut off. everybody waiting to see how bad it is when the light comes up, soledad. >> i know. can't wait for the sun to come up here as well, deb, so we can get a sense of how bad this is from all that damage overnight. deb feyerick for us in lindenhurst, long island. >>> massive fire in queens, too homes burned to the ground, two dozen others in flames right now. the firefighters struggling to put out those fires. that's because the lack of water pressure. we have the crews on the way to bring you live pictures when we get a chance. we've got to get now to the other side of manhattan from where i am on the other side, west side of lower manhattan is where john berman is this morning with a look at some of the flooding that's happening there. john, it was major, major flooding, the predictions actually were off from the terrible amount they predicted was lower than what they actually got. >> it was simply unprecedented. unprecedented storm surge here. place wh

here, but about 20,000 or 25,000 people have been stranded according to hoboken's mayor and did not evac a.they are stuck in their homes. the mayor did call in the national guard, and we are getting our first view that the national guard has arrived. we saw a truck move into town. hopefully being able to get some troops there who may be able to help with the rescue and help some of the residents that are still stuck in their homes. but you see just to give you a perspective of this city, it is, as i mentioned, a very small city, about one mile square, to be exact, but it is so densely populated. when you think about half of those people or so are stuck in their homes not able to go anywhere, it's a pretty scary situation there. now, of course, most people also don't have power. there are some who do, and for the lucky few, i know from neighbors and friends, that they are taking in anybody that they can to help out and a lot of people volunteering as well, but the good news is for the first time we're seeing the national guard arrive here and hopefully getting some much-needed assistance

still life safety, still sheltering, evacs. making sure people have a place and a meal.'re making plans for long-term housing through fema. they are starting to restore some power. we had 90% of the power out in the county. they are restoring sections of that today, so we hope to continue that effort. >> well, that's great news. let me just ask you finally, natural reaction is if your in one of these areas, you want to get there and you want to be able to see where is my house. is my house even there. and we have seen some people going out there in canoes and kayaks. what's your message to folks who understandably want to see what's going on? >> i understand. i mean when you look at the destruction out there, being a resident of 44 years in the county, we've never seen anything like this. we're trying to help them. we have pictures of our officers out there just helping people trying to locate their homes or at least some of their belongings that they can take back with them to shelter up overnight. obviously when it gets dark, we discourage any of that. we had a mandato

failed at nyu langone medical center, probably about 35 blocks from where i am. 260 patients had to be evac waited. some were newborn babies. you can see the pictures here as they bring these babies out of intensive care, carried by their nurses. in some cases they walked down the stairs with the infants because the respirators, obviously those need electric power. when the power failed, the nurses had to take the respiration on by hand using massive pumps to get the air into the lungs of these babies. they walked down flights of stairs to be able to get the babies out into the transport vehicles and into other hospitals as well. some of those patients were carried down 15 flights of stairs. there was 12 feet of water in the elevator shaft of that building. city transportation shut down, it cowl be days, maybe four days, before the subways re-open here. want to show you a loop of sandy right now. for new york city, the storm has finally blown through, although the winds are high and we're seeing intermittent rain here. if you look at the loop here, for places north, sandy's officially a pos

president earlier today in that briefing, you know, his point was, look, if you're in these mandatory evacas, he said listen to the officials, don't delay, done pause, just evacuate. how many people are you seeing in that red cross shelter in atlantic city and how many do you anticipate? >> reporter: well, we actually did not open one here in atlantic city because we didn't want to be in the evacuation area. several shelters were open a little further inland, along the side. we had nine states with shelters open, over 3,200 people. i know we had several thousand people that were evacuated yesterday from here in atlantic city. they saved a lot of transportation across the street from us so we had a chance to meet some of the folks as they were getting on the buses. they just grabbed what they had and followed the order to get out and hoping they'll be able to come to their homes in a few days. >> todd, in talking to those folks who were heeding those mandatory evacuation, getting out of town, how did they seem? how nervous did they seem? >> reporter: i wouldn't say extremely nervous. they'v
