i want to get to my colleague brian todd in hampstead, north carolina.derstand that you're getting it there. what's going on? >> reporter: right, don, this is the inter coastal waterway behind me. the waterway obviously between the mainland north carolina and the outer banks, some of the barrier islands. if it looks like i'm standing in the intercoastal waterway, i'm not. i'm standing on old landing road. right now this road and the inter coastal are pretty much one in the same because as you can see the storm surge is coming in and this road is starting to get flooded. i'm in a few inches of water. not severe right now, but we know it will be severe. we don't believe this is even high tide yet. that's not even coming for a few hours, but as you can see how low-lying this area is, panning to my left, your right, you can see a little bit of white caps out there on the inter coastal. it will get much worse in the coming hours. it's already with just a little bit of rain starting to fall here and a little bit of wind coming. it's already causing obviously s

our brian todd is just north of there in hampstead, north carolina. what are you looking at there?porter: kate, we're entering a pretty dangerous area. the low tide has been in effect several hours. yet even with the low tide, this is old landing road that i'm standing on. that's the intercoastal waterway. they're becoming one and the same. the waterway is pushing onto the roadway here and it's going to be flooded in the next few hours. now we're getting pelted with another band of rain. when it starts to rain sideways you're entering the area where it's getting thick and heavy. the storm surge is going to affect these areas here. these marshland areas are good at absorbing the storm surge. they can prevent it from going into the homes and businesses nearby these areas, but right now this marshland is inundated. the water pushing straight past it and past the street line here to these houses and businesses. you know, once high tide kicks in in a few hours, it's he going to have nowhere to go. the rain is really starting to get much heavier and whip around where we are but, again, s

he is in hampstead, north carolina. from what i understand watching you earlier getting knocked around a little bit, what's the situation there now? >> we're on old landing road, a road which has gotten flooded from the storm surge from the intercoastal waterway. we've had to pull away from that area. but we're going to head back to the area that is getting flooded. we are across theerway from som barrier islands. we've talked about how people can get trapped on the barrier islands. listen, you can get trapped in these mainland areas as well. we're showing you how you can get trapped. this road goes to and from the intercoastal waterway to some of the main roadways. there's a car up ahead but he's right next to the water's edge. we're going to probably pull up right next to him. this is how you get trapped, when the conditions get so bad and all this debris hits the road. if you decide at that point you want to get out you're probably way too late to get out. we'll take you to the water's edge to give you an updated sho
