s finally opening here. one thing that president chiu had talked about is that there is a reality our communities are moving closer together. bay view's been historically an african-american community and there's a growing asian-american community that's coming to live in this neighborhood. we cannot shy away from that. we talk a lot about public safety. last year when i was working on the lawyer's committee for civil rights went had several incidents happening on third street, you know, ed lieu zhang, malia cohen, many leaders of the african-american community came together to talk about how can we bring our communities together? when we talk about a safer neighborhood, a safer neighborhood is a united neighborhood. we can't improve our neighborhoods, we can't bring -- we can't make this a neighborhood for everyone unless we're a united neighborhood. i know c.y.c. is committed to doing the community building and community bridging. our communities have more in common then less. and it's something i know as

thank you so much for being here. it is really an honor to work with the department of environment on the san francisco home improvement program. we hope it becomes they hit this program in the city. we really are here to talk about the financial, as well as the environmental benefits of going green. in san francisco, as well as across the country, what we forget is often our home and the real estate that we own is normally the most valuable piece of wealth that we have in our family. but we also for get that real- estate and buildings also have some of the largest carbon footprint in san francisco, as well as across the country single-family homes are almost 22% of the carbon footprint. in my understanding, we have actually been miscounting the carbon footprint, and we actually undervalued the carbon footprint of real estate in those homes. we're here today to talk about how you can go green with doing some very simple things. some improvement items did you can get a rebate of up to $7,000 just by putting in new wate

here was the center of here. this band 100 miles or so out to the east that's where they had the hurricane force wind. the definition of a hurricane is a storm system that's a tropical system that has hurricane force winds anywhere in it. if it's one spot out there in the circulation it's still counts to be hurricane. but now the hurricane hunters went out there, flew all around, measured the pressure and couldn't find what the national hurricane center thought qualified as hurricane force winds and using radar, looking at the wind with radar they couldn't find it. so that's why they went ahead and downgraded it. there's another process and that want happenings after the fact and they will go back and look at all the data. sometimes even back upgrade it and sometimes say no bill is right that 8:00 a.m. advisory it was already a tropical storm then. and they do that by re-analysis. but, you know, we won't know that for some time after the fact. right now no hurricane landfall in new york. >> got to say as you look

>> back here. i got out, though, for a couple of months but i came back for battery. >> what made you do that? >> i don't know, just got into it with someone. >> you have seen your mom? >> not since she came to see me coach. i don't really like seeing my family in here. >> how do you feel about getting out? >> i'm nervous but anxious. i don't know what it will be like out there. it's been three years. i don't know what it will be like. i don't know. life one day at a time. you make mistakes, you have to learn from your mistakes. >> he could be acting just fine while here's in school and then the very next second he could be having an outburst and be hurting someone. and it just comes out of nowhere. you don't ever give up because you never know what's going to work today that didn't work yesterday. >> the challenges are understanding what makes a kid react before he thinks. it can get to the point that when they strike out it can go from one victim to multiple victims over a candy bar. >>> next, on

here live in madison, wisconsin. let's talk more about the ground game that has been out there and how intense it has been. jim dean joins us now. he is the chairman of democracy for america. jim, good to have you with us tonight. >> ed, thanks. >> how would you characterize what you have seen on the ground here in recent days leading up to the turnout? >> well, i think intense is a very good word for, that ed. the strength that all of the folks that are here tonight as well as all over the state have shown has really been remarkable. you know, as we've said, these are republican districts, and yet we've seen people coming from all over the place out of the woodwork. i've had the pleasure of being on a lot of these canvasses myself. and the kind of intensity that they displayed, the kind of passion that the folks have displayed about getting out to vote has really been remarkable. and again, these are republican districts. this has always been an uphill battle. it's always been the beginning of something much bigger.

politically to get its financial house in order so to speak the record here for the american people for the u.s. government could be severe now while this only takes it down from aaa to a.a. plus with a negative outlook threatening in fact that the rating could get lowered even more in the next two years what it does is it potentially it sends the message that the united states is a risky investment that could send interest rates going up for the federal government and because other borrowing costs are tied to that that means mortgage payments could go up mortgage interest rates go up car interest rates can go up and really the rest of the u.s. economy could be severely affected now one thing that we do have to keep in mind here is that the obama administration had pointed out that the s. and p. had made an error of about two trillion dollars in. projections in releasing that information now the s. and p. doesn't make these decisions based on any sort of special information they really it really is a political reaction based on facts that are available to just anyone and so the other th

i am so glad to be here. there is a growing body of research that shows we can make the schools -- the streets safer, and one of the ways we can do that is reduced speeds. if all else fails and a collision results, this speed limit saves lives. i am pleased to be here and to continue to work with the rest of the city, the rest of the organizations, and to know that they have the support of the mta board in these very important initiatives. thank you. [applause] >> thank you, director. the mayor and supervisor mar mentioned that there's different city agencies working together to make this happen. i think they both mentioned the health department has been a very strong partner, and i want to work knowledge there great work. it is their research that i want to reiterate the exponential decline in the likelihood of serious injury or fatality for every 5 miles that you lower the speed limit. it is a powerful tool to ensure safety in the streets if in the unfortunate event, despite all of our efforts, there's impa

they're tide up here. -- tied up here.ou can drive your truck right on and park your container. >> these are actually ready reserve ships that are -- that go to iraq. this is federal defense, still a military use. >> i'd ask the clerk to call the roll, roll on, roll off. >> they're gigantic. >> there are still some of these other uses we see. >> grain silos. when they used to ship grains from the delta, the sacramento valley, in and out through san francisco, this is where it would be stored. they are no longer used. they were actually extensively damaged in the loma-prieta and we have tried in various ways to try and find some other uses that could use that storage, plastic pellets for recycling even. those kinds of things. but it's so damaged now that the cost of repairing them to bring them into function -- this is a left over technology, a competing technology with containers that didn't make it in the end. but the shed is where the recycling central (speaker not understood) is located. >> and then there is also just t

not far from here. the emergency operations center here has lost power. midnight. they lost the power for automated 911 calls. the lines have been failing all morning. they not losing the calls. the calls are switching over to the administrative line. they can still take them. the 911 system has gone down temporarily, t.j. that is what the emergency operators are up against here. right now, the only people you see out are the first responders patrolling around. >> brian todd hanging tight in wilmington. thank you, as always. as we get closer to the top of the hour, mandatory evacuations for people who are not used to being told to get out. we are talking new york. 400,000 people in low-lying areas told they need to get out of there. we are live from their right after the break. stay with us on this cnn saturday morning. e had a good year at chevy. they gave us a consumers digest best buy award. then they gave us an iihs top safety pick and you... well, you gave us your approval. so we thought, why not give a little back. the chevy model year wrap up. get

and then you have septa which is right here. all mass transit in the city shut down. >> yes, it was shut down for the first time in history yesterday. we took that precaution because of the rain, because of the winds, because of flooding. septa will do its analysis and see when it is both safe to operate the system and quite frankly safe for people to be out trying to utilize the system. that's a judgment call. >> we have to run. what about the airport? >> the airport is still closed. planned to be closed at least until 4:00. very difficult for any kind of travel, whether you're out of philadelphia or getting to philadelphia up and down the east coast. being cautious there. >> stay inside, stay home and stay safe, anderson. that's the message everyone has been carrying throughout the east coast. back to you. >> no doubt about that. thanks. we'll continue to check in with you. let's check in with affiliate wcbs who's driving around in brooklyn, see what the scene is there. >> doing everything that residents can expect and even mo

they have nothing here. they have nothing here.he only reason they took the risk was to save the baby and now the baby is dead. >> you have seen a lot of this over the last few weeks. >> yeah. moig's always difficult. somalia is difficult. people have been dying here for a while from the violence and insecurity. the famine is -- the numbers here are extraordinary. the u.n. is estimating that nearly 1 million will die if the aid pipeline isn't strengthened and if more funding doesn't come in to sustain the aid effort here. >> the aid effort is under way but for too many kids it may already be too late. they are not numbers. not statistics. they are boys and girls, names and with parents, boys and girls who have never had a fair chance at life. with me again tonight, dr. sanjay gupta and we should point out that we did help that family to bury their child. we thought it was the human thing to do. but there are so many others. you want to help everybody and yet there's not at times anything you can do. >> you know, we keep talking abo

here's the radar picture now.is showing you the swirl of the storm, the threat of tornadoes from virginia beach. in fact, we did get one tornado warning, which is in effect right now. that includes the chesapeake area. we'll zoom in, give you a better idea of what it looks like into the center of that storm. and we still have a lot of structure around the center of it so this is where we're going to be seeing those very strong winds. this is where that surge was. you saw that video a few minutes ago of the guy saying, yeah, it's way up here, we're going to be under water. we have confirmation of that, 6 to 8 foot storm surge has been reporting common right in this area throughout the outer banks and some of these bays is where some of the worst of it has been. we've got reynolds wolf who's been up here in kill devil hills. they've been seeing winds continue to come in from the east like this. so that water is pipe pyling up. that rain continues to be heavy. we're going to be seeing a lot of flooding with this stor

england here?> i think it is more than that as well. certainly, yes, but that has been a huge issue. certainly in the region where birmingham is, unemployment is very, very high. the highest in the country. i think as well as that, the lack of jobs also leads one to a lack of responsibility. and i think also to a great deal of resentment. what we have here are people helping themselves to things that do not belong to them and destroying property that other people have worked hard for. other reports from parts of the country, those -- some journalists have managed to attempt to ask some of these people why they're doing it. they have been giving absurd reasons such as they're getting their tax back which just doesn't seem to make any sense at all. >> this is the problem when we're looking at economic times. the woes that people are confronting. but also, too, i want to look at the point that this has been three days now and this does appear to be out of control. when you look at aerial shots of part

they know what they're doing down here. but there are a few people here. and you can walk on the beach, obviously. and there are a few souls down here who have come down here just to see the real show that nature is putting on for them. but there are a lot less out here than when we got here about a half hour ago. i think they're starting to take it seriously and try to get themselves out of danger. >> yeah. brian todd, appreciate it. we'll continue to check in with you. let's turn now to our john zarrella who has seen an awful lot of hurricanes. he and i have done a lot of them together. he's in atlantic beach just up the coach from brian todd. what's the situation there, john? >> reporter: all throughout the late afternoon the conditions have conditioned to just go downhill. steady rain, squalls moving in. i had my wind meter out, and i got some gusts around tropical storm force. most of the winds have been around 25 miles per hour. pretty steady at about 25 miles per hour. but just about now 10 minutes ago the curfew went into effect here. you can see t

we're out here on the boardwalk here in atlantic city., all of the casinos have been shut down. the city is under a mandatory evacuation, and most people out here heeding that warning, but not everyone. the governor of the state basically spoke about a number of seniors who they've had some difficulty in getting to actually leave the city. well, we caught up with a group of 92 seniors who are holed up at their apartment building just a few blocks from here. listen to why they are choosing to stay. >> we come from hearty stock. we ain't moving! >> reporter: you're not moving? >> no. >> reporter: clearly, that is the case. >> this is the best reality show you're going to get. >> reporter: but in all seriousness, are any of you concerned about the storm? i'm sorry, ma'am, what? >> only our children. my son says he's going to have my committed. but he lives in georgia, so what does he know? >> we're not frivolous about this. we take this very seriously. but the alternative is a nightmare. >> reporter: the alternative being, being in a shelter

said that is one of the themes here today. -- so that is one of the themes here today. the second theme is jobs. when maoyr lee -- mayor lee came into office, he recognized that as one of his priorities. we have a great, new, strong ordinance, a new law in place. the one thing the mayor has been singing from day one. we need to think beyond construction. we need to think about the private sector, elsewhere in the public sector. neighborhoods and jobs coming together is why we are here. without further ado, the man who is responsible for all of this and has been leading this great city very well for the last seven months or so, our mayor, ed lee. [applause] mayor lee: thank you, ed. thank you, public works. as you know, i used to head the agency. thank you. you have been helping keep our city clean and keep the projects going and keep the employment that is so vital to the city up and keep the projects going to full completion, whether it is generally hospital or the library programs. i also want to think -- i also want to thank supervisor cohen. this is about promises w

look at some of the houses here. you can see the shingles flapping in the wind, and some of those have been ripped off by these higher wind gusts, so this is going to be some minor, minor roof repair certainly once everybody gets back here over the next couple of days. the wind is just unrelenting out here on the beach this morning. these bands and the rainfall we've had reports of already over eight inches of rain in parts of eastern north carolina. at least several hundred thousand power outages the last time i heard. could be more. that's because of the wind and the rain to get uprooted trees, but one thing is for certain. the pier behind me, jeanette's pier that was taken out eight years ago is going to with stand this one. it's built to a cat three. they have it reopened in may, and it's looking pretty good despite these 14, 15, 16 foot waves out here in nags head. we have a couple more really strong bands associated with the center of the storm. the tide is going out. that's a good thing. we're still getting ou
