and hoboken is still half of hoboken is still flooded.e working right now to -- we're actually bringing the national guard has brought in an amphibian truck to go into the deep water. we are bringing in some supplies to those residents that potentially could be spending another night in their homes possibly without electricity just because the tide, the water just -- the river was so hudson river was so high, the water was not actually able to recede from southwest hoboken. and there is a possibility we're going back up into high tide and the flood waters remain. we're taking this opportunity to bring in supplies to residents who may need them and to make sure that they are okay. i'm -- we're working to do that right now. >> flooding and -- >> overall, i feel like preventative measures really kept hoboken residents safe and can't thank everyone enough for coming together and making sure our community was safe. >> you know, mayor zimmer, people are saying please stay off the roads even if you're not seeing damage outside your door step. i

it's not just here in hoboken. but the big problem, i should say, in case you are wondering, what's the big deal? it's a category 1. the big problem is flooding. we have, as the ground here is saturated. we have had a record number of rainy days here. and this is just adding to the misery ands and that's the big concern. emergency officials are working all night, checking the storm drains here. they are concerned that there may be as much as 5 feet of water, flooding hoboken and that's the big concern. and they won't be able to get to the people who need t. that's why the big push to evacuate in advance of hurricane irene, coming in. so that's the latest from hoboken. i'll send it back to you and the nice, warm, dry studio. >> all right. thank you so much for talking to us, sharon. >> reporter: r. >> reporter: oh, yeah. >> hope you rest soon. >> reporter: monday, right? >> monday, exactly. we are all looking forward to monday. frank sinatra was born in hoboken, for folk who is may not know that. >> by the time iren

so the water has not receded in hoboken just yet. more than 830,000 people without power in the state of maryland. but in new jersey, they are dealing with a lot of water. we will get you updated on the situation in hoboken as we get a handle on things there in just a moment. continuing to watch the storm. i'm told we are minutes away from some rain again in new york city. the stormity self, though, head inside new england. and they are still warning people stay off the streets. stay away from areas with trees if at all possible because the high winds with some trees that are really shaky with so much sad saturated land could cause lotts of problems for you and yours. >> we will join doug mcelway down the shore. this is fox news channel's continuing coverage of what was hurricane irene. on a single tank of gas." the horsepower enthusiast says, "well, my s.u.v. has a v-6 engine with best-in-class towing and power." the punch line is they're both driving a dodge durango. the s.u.v. is back. right now, get $2,000 cash allowance or 0% ap

okay, natalie morales standing by in hoboken, new jersey, covering things. one person has died in maryland as a result of hurricane irene. a woman in queen anne's county was killed after a tree fell on her house, causing her chimney to collapse. state police say a tornado touched down in the lower eastern shore. maryland's emergency management agency says 780,000 homes and businesses are without power. let's go to nbc's tom costello in ocean city, maryland where things are brighter today. you certainly weathered something horrific yesterday. >> well just when you thought you could take off the rain gear, here comes another band of rain, i'm getting awfully wet here. but we're told that this is really just the last band or the last finger, if you will of rain from the back end of irene as it is way up that way. in your back yard. we are doing a quick assessment here in ocean city. and the delmarva peninsula, and police are saying so far they don't see any significant damage. we do have power out to certain areas along the peninsula. we are still without power

to give you an idea, hoboken just north of jersey city.is is just across the way from new york, just across from manhattan. telling people they need to get off the ground floor. jacqui jeras here with me, giving me a forecast. we have i said 24 hours earlier, but the projection, is it something like that, when the storm will probably get to new york/new jersey, that area? >> yeah. if you heard my microphone open up, sorry. they were saying, now they're issuing that evacuation? is that enough time? the peak of the storm is probably not going to be for tomorrow morning for new jersey. there is a little bit of time. and think about it, you don't have to go that far inland. you have to run from the water and you don't want to be flooded if you're on the low floors, right? if you're in a high-rise building, you have a friend who lives up on six, that would be lives up on six, that would be good. those are things you can do in terms of that evacuation. that water is going to start rising, later today. it's going to be a very long, a very slow pr

stay off the streets of hoboken.gerous conditions exist along the waterfront, storm surge may cause the hudson river to rise up over that rockaway. for folks in hoboken, new jersey, take care if you head outside. look, make sure there's a very clear walkway. officials are suggesting stay inside as best can you even if your dogs need to be walked try to figure out something and good luck with all of that. as far as new jersey overall, there are 400,000 without power right now. 15,000 remain in shelters having been urged to go to those shelters when they were asked to evacuate by governor chris christie. 200 roads closed throughout the state, closed due to flooding, damaged trees that are down. limbs, power lines down. things are clearly a mess throughout the state of new jersey as well as specifically in hoboken with those words of caution coming from the officials there. let's go just across the hudson river from hoboken and we'll go the upper west side. jenna wolf is standing by. you have the hudson river on the bac

and the city of hoboken as well is a city not accustomed to this kind of storm. evacuation orders in new jersey and new york, in connecticut. we'll get to that whole tri-state area. let's zero in hoboken, new jersey, right now. mayor don zim ser on tmer is on with us. you ordered some evacuations. were people paying attention? were they respecting that order? >> reporter: some people are heeding the warning. but people are most concerned about right now -- we are very focused on our seniors and making sure that they understand that it's very important that they go to the shelters. those that are on -- the situation we have, we have a number of seniors who are on oxygen and they don't understand that the electricity could go out and if the electricity goes out, we won't be able to get to them and help them and save them. so we're focused on saving lives right now in hoboken. we have teams of people going out. we've already knocked on these people's doors. but we're continuing to go around, bringing in the police. we want to make sure they're safe. we're providing

>> i am on the west side of hoboken and a lot of hom hiwners with the first floor apartments have the same situation happening in their basement. as do a nneber of businesses on the main drag there and some of the side streets. we can hear the pneps trying to nnmp the water out of the basement so they could open again. gou can get a litity.e perspece ie whs dark. you can see water covering where we are on first street here. eiark avenow te you can see thes still water all of the way down to the larger roads here. we are in the west side. if you are not familiar with hoboken the homes on the hudson river there they are on higher ground they are below sea level. this is a an area that usually they were u ting p hiple who own apartments to evacuate. n haveghborhood. they were trying to get people out just for this very rears n that you can see. it is going to take a couple days as you can see for this to recede. n where frank sinatra was born. she mentioned traditionalwl floor c. i was taltra ng about a general about that this is an area that traditionally floor c. a rep theylican from n

the biggest part of flooding in hoboken is usually the southwest corner. has been worried about the flooding. i think we'll have a serious issue. >> evacuation order for the first floor in hoboken. many people getting out but many people not complying and staying. we'll look at where the direct path is with the hurricane. live pictures from plain view. >> our coverage continues? just a moment. we'll be right back. s. it's salonpas. this is the relief i've been looking for. salonpas has 2 powerful pain fighting ingredients that work for up to 12 hours. and my pharmacist told me it's the only otc pain patch approved for sale using the same rigorous clinical testing that's required for prescription pain medications. proven. powerful. safe. salonpas. handle more than 165 billion letters and packages a year. that's about 34 million pounds of mail every day. ever wonder what this costs you as a taxpayer? millions? tens of millions? hundreds of millions? not a single cent. the united states postal service doesn't run on your tax dollars. it's funded solely by sta

that's not the thing to do. >> same with your colleagues in hoboken. officials have said the same thing. the power lines can electrify those puddles. if there's any debris around them, is that good advice? >> that's great advice. if you go outside you're inviting danger. debris is still falling, loose branches, and again those power lines down all over our city. it's a dangerous thing to do. this is a great day to stay inside, take the day to rest. less us do the emergency work, and keep monitoring the news. you guys are doing a good job of alerting people. >> how about any evacuation orders? do people listen when they were told to stay out of harm's way? >> you know, unfortunately not. we've had a lot of homeless people we had to move into -- they have gone 41 -- they've not had to leave their homes, most of the people were being proactive safe places for people to stay, but again when you're in our shelters or at home, this is a day to be cautious, stay home safe and secure. >> it's still a day of a lot of work and cleanup for you. mayor booker, than

. >>> let's go to natalie morales, who is live in hoboken, new jersey, across from lower manhattan. with another good morning, it looks like the fog is coming back. we're not still out of the woods. >> reporter: we certainly aren't. the wind has picked up, but now the sky is brightening. every time i talk to you, it must be good luck, but we still feel the wind. alex, i should point out, we're on the east end of town along the hudson river. when i spoke to you earlier the river was high up you could see the river has receded. although i should point out, and i know you have a picture of this we sent to you earlier today, the other side of town is dealing with a flooding situation, as was described to me. it tess it looks like venice over there. they usually do floo flood, so that is a situation they're going to have to be cleans up, as police officer were coming by and reminding im, they're telling people do not come out or get into water where you don't know what is lying underneath. you risk being electrocuted. they're dealing with that situation with a lot more flooding over ther

from bill's weather outpost, we're going to natalie morales in hoboken, new jersey. i can see beautiful manhattan skyline behind you. >> reporter: this is what you didn't see about two hours ago, last time we were talking. there actually is a beautiful view here of the waterfront and midtown manhattan. we are finally getting to see that. it looks like the worst is over with, as bill karins made a really important point, the rivers are still concern, we notice the passaic river, areas that normally get flooded, this time they're feeling it worse, and they experienced record flooding in march, so once again going through it again. governor chris christie spoke with us earlier, and he said they expect snell damages to be estimated in the tens of billions. a lot of people will be feeling the effects of this to come as they deal with the cleanup, water in their baismts. people along the ground levels were evacuated from their homes, people with ground-level apartments. we're not sure when they'll be allowed back into their homes as yet. they probably can start coming back

. >> reporter: in hoboken, new jersey some residents are knee deep. north of new york, irene forced water from the sawmill river through jut one neighborhood. and some peer are taking it all in stride. >> something i can could -- nothing i can do. it's mother nature. >> reporter: floodwaters killed rocklin county. >> you can see the massive flood come through here. homes, residents evacuated, 200 residents displayed. >> reporter: the greenville river in massachusetts was flooded washing away cars. >> i think it's the crazy thing i've seen for living in greenfield. >> reporter: the storm left its mark in connecticut. >> they have stairs going down to the beach. gone! our stairs are floating. >> reporter: in development, state leaders are considering flooding the state capitol on purpose. the utility spokesperson says to protect the integrity of the mar everyonefield dam, extra water may be released. president obama says while irene may have moved on, its effects may be felt for a long time. our response continues. >> reporter: the cleanup continues. a

. >> he's across the river from hoboken. thanks for watching.

also, a little north of where he is right now, hoboken, new jersey, that's a little bit closer to new york city, the mayor there, jacqui jeras, we reported a short time ago, issuing a mandatory evacuation order for the ground unit for people in hoboken. so they're expecting that water as well. and like you mentioned, you've got somebody who lives on the sixth floor, you might want to knock on the door and say, hey, can i hang a little bit? >> don't bother your friend on the 16th story, by the way, because then you start worrying about wind issues and wind damage, possibly. probably flying debris that would break open were window, not the strength of the winds. this is a category 1 storm now, 85 miles per hour. and in the next hour, we're going to have an update on this intensity from the hurricane center. so make sure you stay tuned, because we likely see some more changes. but as this thing is making its way through the pamlico sound, very little change in intensity should be expected. you'd normally think, landfall, okay, it's going to weaken quite a bit. this is very marshy, very s

[ laughter ] no cars. >> reporter: and up in providence, the hurricane barrier was closed very early this morning protecting the city from floodwaters and in newport, we'll be look at the economic damage. you can see the buildings are boarded-up. i hope can see that behind me, it's because high tide and the winds shifting, knocking us off the air. this is certainly going to hit them right in the pocketbook. back to you guys. >> thank you, craig. >>> well, officials in delaware are inspecting damage from a possible tornado believed to be caused by the storm. we want to show you now some pictures and you are look at the mess left behi

right across the river, hudson river to my left, you've got hoboken, they have evacuated low lying areasewark, new jersey. but again, these mandatory evacuations don't mean people will be placed under arrest if they don't get out. they won't spend money and resources. the nypd has several small boats, much like they used in new orleans on stand-by just in case to rescue people. they've also got bus in rocka way and queens. they're evacuating the elderly. there are some who want to ride it out and watch the cool views. but the authorities are saying please don't do that. this is serious. category 1 or not, 70 mile-per-hour winds in new york city is really serious stuff, martha. >> martha: it sure is. thank you very much. julie banderas at battery park city reporting for us. we'll check in later with her. it's interesting because when you look at the last time that a hurricane like this happened in this area, a lot of the building that now exists along the shore line and places like hoboken wasn't even there. we've built and expanded. we look along the west coast of manhattan, there are so

and back to the other city, this is hoboken, jersey city, water everywhere here as about an eight foot storm surge would go over the board walk, the concrete walk that's along the water, and get all the way back into the buildings here of southern new jersey. and this is just one of the areas here. this is one of the a marios that's the craziest scenario here of damage to new york city with water rushing in from the south, all the way as the storm pushes water in as a rotating hurricane at 85 miles to 100 miles per hour. i though you've heard of typhoo typhoons cyclones. different oceans call them different things but it's the same. we call them hurricanes. remember, there are subways that could get flooded, too. >>> let's check on the progress of hurricane irene right now. jennifer delgado is at the cnn "weather center." how is it looking? >> right how it looks like it's been weakening over the last several hours. we're waiting for the latest update from the national hurricane center. but you have to to keep in mind, too, new york city, that's the u.s.'s most densely populated city. s

the size of this storm that that flooding potential in downtown new york, in manhattan, in parts of hoboken and rockaway beach and long beach in new york still there as the waves will be pushing, the winds will be pushing water up against that shore for a very long time. here's what's happened to the storm and what happened earlier today and also during the day yesterday as the turn happened. during that turn there was enough wind shear pushing the storm from a different direction that the storm didn't like it very much. and the storm really disintegrated for a while. extremely low pressure. in fact, right now the pressure is low enough to make a category 3 hurricane. it's just not organized enough to get those category 3 winds. that's not saying it couldn't happen tonight. we could wake up tomorrow morning. one of the things the hurricane center will tell you is that the forecast for hurricane wind speed is harder, much harder than hurricane direction. so we can wake up tomorrow morning and see that too be something bigger than that. we'll see. i don't think that's the forecast and it's ce

the other side toward hoboken, meadowlands, very flat.oss from new york city, you know there's no topography until you get up to the palisades a little farther to the west from there. but the potential energy coming in with a storm pushing all of that water up the east river, and up the hudson, could be tremendous. >> so i can't -- my eyes aren't that good. so how deep does it go across the island of manhattan down there? are you talking about, is that water going up one side to the other? >> it does not. >> okay. >> it pushes into the battery. it gets -- you know, this is the wall street district. this would be lower manhattan. right here, this is battery park. so it would completely flood the piers that the staten island ferry would come in. all that would be completely yinds water. some of those piers float in all that. this is what we consider to be a category 2. so the water would still be here. i'm not talking more than maybe just a couple three feet deep in some spots. but if you have one foot of water running down the stairwell in

and i'm still, i'm still convinced that there will be flooding, either hoboken or back towards williamsburg or up the east river as we push water into the sound, long island sound, and then also push water into where lady liberty is. all of a sudden, that has to -- they have to come together somehow, and that's the east river. and that's where i think the potential for flooding would be the best. if you've ever been to the south street seaport and right there where the tall ships are, it's about that far from the river from where you're walking on the walkway. that certainly would be under water. guys? >> got it. all right, chad, thanks. >> we're going to bring back jeanne and chris. is that right, guys? all right, so you two are really in the thick of it right now. and i'm wondering, chris, explain -- you both are relatively close to one another, but it appears that conditions are very different. why is that? >> reporter: -- can you repeat -- >> and there goes chris. you can see that the storm is obviously impacting very heavily on them. jeanne, can you hear me all right? >> reporter: yes,

rooftop there, and the flooding is so bad in parts of new jersey that they have evacuated a shelter in hobokenhich is right across the way. mayor mike bloomberg is telling you if you lived in this area in lower manhattan, you were told to evacuate and if you did not do that, stay put and deal with as best you can where you are, and if you are in a high-rise building, we are near wall street, and if you are in one of the high-rise buildings, you have to get behind the tenth floor, because these buildings are susceptible, and you have to stay away from the glass obviously and get below the tenth floor. you see con edison, a power truck here, but all you see is power trucks and emergency vehicles. natalie? >> i'm not sure whenever you could drive through the streets of new york city and do a live report and not worry about the traffic around you, poppy. >> and even stopping. and we have more information on the tenth death. queen ann's county, maryland, is where it took place. a woman in her home, and a tree fell through the roof and apparently she died in her home. it is one of the unavoidable un

i mean, we've seen reporting in places like newark and hoboken and the like. there's a real concern about downed lines and live electrical wires. i mean, these are the very realities, the real threats that are still out there. >> well, this is actually really serious. we've already had to do about ten water rescues where we had to get zodiac go into the water on flooded streets to get people out of their cars. we've got downed power lines and a lot of hidden hazards. high waters can obscure live power lines. we have manhole covers moved aside. even people wading through water are facing real danger. so, this is a time for everybody to be staying inside their homes. we're dealing with a lot o challenges from trees down and the likes. thank god, we've had no injuries, but we've had to move lots of people into shelters this morning. >> mayor, i want to ask you something i asked governor christie as well, which is an important bigger question out of this, which is, how prepared are we as a country, not just newark or the state of new jersey, but as a country, to d

in hoboken, new jersey, some are getting hammered with water. north of new york, irene forced river from the sawmill river throughout one neighborhood. >> some there's nothing i can do. >> massive flood came through. the whole development is evacuated. 200 residents have been displaced. >> reporter: torrential rains flooded the river in greenville, massachusetts, washing away some of the cars. >> i think it's some of the craziest things i've seen in my life. >> reporter: the storm also left its mark on southern connecticut. >> they have stairs going down to the beach. gone! >> some stairs are floating in the water. >> reporter: in development, state leaders are considering flooding the state capitol on purpose. a utility spokesman says to protect the integrity of the marshfield damage, extra water may be released. president obama says while irene may have move -- moved on -- >> i want people to understand this is not over. response and recovery will be an ongoing operation. >> reporter: no power is causing a lot of problems for businesses in thi
