isabel a a is also from vee it natural vietnam, adopted at the age of four. her mother gave birth to twin girls, couldn't afford both and sent isabel to an orphanage. isabel has never meant her identical twin sister still living in vietnam. >> i just wanted to help not just her but other adolescent girls around the world. >> suarez: although isabel has learned something about her identical twin, she believes she and her sister are likely to have very different futures. >> there's a huge difference between our lives. i go to school. i play with my friends. i hang out with my friends. she doesn't get to hang with her friends. she gets to do chores. she's got to work 24/7. it's not what a normal teenager would do. >> suarez: isabel hopes to attend ucla medical school and play college soccer. >> it's very similar girls. if they had the same opportunity, they'd probably have the same practice jekt er to. they'd both be going to ucla. both think about being doctors or having dreams. and then sadly the girl in vietnam can't get there. we'd like to get all the girls

it wasn't like isabel for the d.c. area. we got the strong southerly flow from it pushing up the bay, up the potomac. whereas this, irene is not going to be known for its storm surge. it's going to be known for downing trees and the rarn. >> those of us of a certain age remember when it was almost impossible to tell with any real certainty at all with where the storms will go. >> even at my age. >> believe us when i say we are grateful for it. adam, thank you so much for that. >>> we good to the news line. ben has been reporting for us for quite a while down in annapolis. glad to see you got in out of the rain a little bit. >> reporter: we hope to bring you back live pictures in a little bit but condensation got inside the lens of our camera, which is a problem you can't avoid when you've been in the rain as long as we have. annapolis has declared a state of emergency. the mayor recommended that folks in some of the low-lying areas evacuate. the rainfall is about 7 inches which we've experienced here, some of the highest we'

that's in effect along the outlying cities which tend to be inland, but as we saw with hurricane isabel a few years ago tremendous water can be pushed up the chesapeake and delaware bay and into new york harbor and into long island sound and not to mention new england, so there are multiple threats here, and really affecting tens and tens of millions of people and maybe over 50 million people, and just don't know what set of it, but we are confident unfortunately that this is going to be a just an event perhaps, an event of a lifetime. >> and bryan, we have talked throughout the day concerning the so-called clean side of the storm, and we are talking about the potential of flooding that we are seeing in the bahamas and the high winds because you will see the trees literally horizontal there, and what is your concern regarding that impact? >> well, here is the thing, in the bahamas the palm trees are made to bend, and no trees are made to bend in the wind once you get north of north carolina certainly. and so that the trees snap. so, one of the concerns among many, many is that people wi

those kinds of winds -- remember isabel with a lot of tree damage in that area. i'll expect we'll see reports in that regard and that area also. then this evening overnight hours will go along the coast of the delmarva past places like ocean city impacting the delaware bay with storm surge and high winds. by either morning near north carolina moving up the coastline of nj new jersey very near new york city. i don't want you to get too carried away with that exact point on there. as you saw on the radar satellite imagery, the center is not a tight mgts eye. it's a broad area. right now hurricane-force winds, and we keep them in the forecast at least for now right up through a final landfall into new england. next slide, please. the tropical storm wind probabilities as we talked about for several days now, this gives you an idea of how large an area likely to be impacted by at least tropical storm-force winds while irene makes its trek up the eastern seaboard. whether they last for hours and we have the saturated grounds, that's the areas we focus on for the wind d

isabel is probably the most recent storm that affected us dramatically. that hit south nags head pretty hard. >> i know i have some friends who live down there in nags head who told me as they were leaving, they were listening to weather report and listening to people say it is possible this storm could change the shape of nags head. what does that mean? what do you fear will happen there if the storm lives up to our worst fears? >> the biggest danger for us is the sound flooding. if that track of the storm comes up the sound, it creates a tremendous amount of hydraulic pressure in the sounds. it wants to break out and it goes over the land and to the sea. we are hopeful that's not the case. we are prepared and ready to clean up and pick up. we've done the essential things. we've gotten our visitors off. we've given notice to our residents. a lot of folks haves coulden to leave the island. now we monitor things as they go on and hope for the best. there comes a point in time when we don't send our public safety people out into the storm, to protect them.

isabel caused a billion dollars of worth of damage.he mayor said when isabel came here it was dreadful, they had $2 million worth of damage in this area alone and muayed the water up to three blocks in the city. he said it wouldn't be impossible for that to happen today. the concern here in our area is power, flood and trees, specifically the flood we expect between 6 to 12 inches of rain here specifically in the d.c. met row area. there's a lot of trees and homes built around the trees not only in downtown areas of washington but in the suburbs. it's expected that if you live in this area, there's a good chance you will lose power, alex. >> there's mandatory evacuations for 11 loc 1 locality had virgi? >> the parts hit hard are the eastern shore of virginia and norfolk, those areas. right here there's no mandatory evacuation yet. however, governor mcdonald from virginia did give the option to have a mandatory evacuation up to the localities, mean if the mayor of alex andrea doesn't have to ask permission from the governor, they would

isabelle came up to where we're standing here, waist high. reporter: and so we've been standing here. we've been here since early this morning. at the beginning of the day, we saw truck after truck coming with sandbags. maybe every 20 minutes or so. then we saw a lag time, maybe 40 minutes. we haven't see a truck in a little over an hour, hour and a half. just anecdotally, we talked to chuck basil, the man you just sawed in the sound bite. he said the last load that came through, they were running out of sandbags. they were only allowing individuals to take six at a time and business toss take ten. i've reached out to the city to find out what the latest is on the sandbag situation. it does show you the people are really trying to do all they can to protect homes and businesses. >> yes. six sandbags, ten, doesn't sound like a lot. i would understand why folks would try to take more than just that. athena jones, thank you so much. we'll check back to you. >>> of course, we're tracking hurricane irene covering this monster of a storm from every

, eight years ago was taken out by isabel.t the case. this could be a major hit from irene. our weather starts to go downhill later tomorrow, and by saturday morning we'll feel the fury. saturday is when it comes right toward the outer banks. it may go right over us, off the coast, a little inland. we can't exactly say. all the models are saying it's going to come over eastern north carolina. then it heads up your way to the metro new york city area in a weakened form. with all the rain you've had, with more rain and strong winds, i think the biggest inconvenience and the biggest post-irene issue will be power around the mid-atlantic and northeast away from the coastal issues. if you're inland, no need to evacua evacuate, but be prepared to be without power and trees coming down. >> nice to point out the tree situation because what we heard from kerry sanders and bill karins, the trees in the northeast are already weakened from so much rain, and they could knock down power lines and taking out windows and that kind of thing. h

they say that the flooding in that area was worse than in hurricane isabelle in 2003.e yard stick which they measure flooding. serious things going on in the west side of the sound. that is 45 miles southwest of the where we are. >> north of us. we have problems with the roads, they are impassable because of the trees and branches that went down. they have to clean it up tomorrow at first like. there is one more week of summer lefted hading in the labor day weekend. this is the most incredible part of this in the outer banks. out to corola. shep, i know you are familiar with the area and you may know that they buried a lot of the power line to make it pleasing for the residents in the north part. that works two ways. it looks good. and you don't lose power. this area only lot of power 20 seconds today and even in a large tropical storm, you lose power. maybe the folks in ocean city could take a little bits of a lesson from this. and burying the power lines and you will not have the problems. shep, there were no 911 calls in the outer banks. and no injuries and no fatal

hurricane isabelle came through in 2003 and there were breaches then and previous hurricanes did causeighway 12, but not this bad. people we talked to said they have never seen flooding this bad and damage this bad on highway 12. there have been breaches but this was devastation. and it was kev station at a key point where the road connects to other outer banks islands which then connect to the mainland. that was a key section. now people are isolated because of it. it will probably take at least a couple weeks to fix that stretch of road. that's a long time to go without supplies when you have maybe only stocked up for three, four days. they are going to bring in supplies via ferry but that will be slow going. they take a couple hours each to get there. >> quickly, is there a particular reason why that specific site? the storm spared much of north carolina. why did it seem to hit there? >> we noticed it when we were flying. highway 12 is near the ocean and near the sound to the west. between the storm surge from the ocean and the reverse storm surge from the west, from the sound it wa

unlike isabel in 2003 that cut the island in half where young school students had to take a fer to gothe school this is just overwash. we want to make sure everybody is clear on that. the other story that was out there there had been a breach in a levee at swan quarter which is one of those places where the ferry goes. they built a dike around it after isabel in 2003 but i talked to emergency management a short time ago and they have been trying to beat back that story. there has been no breach of the dike there. we expect the winds will continue for probably another four or five hours at this intensity or slightly below as the storm moves it's a way up north toward new york city. it's new york city gets this, i don't want to there. >> shep: i don't want to either. we're on the 12th floor of the fox news building. i have been mentioning storm chasers. i want to go to columbia, north carolina the shot where you saw the light house a little while ago. this is right on the sound, on the south side of the sound. if you were at kill devil hills and you look due west, that is where clum yea

isabel in 2002 was 958 millibars, 5 billion dollars damage. folks in north carolina and virginia you will have a storm similar to isabel. that continued northwest up into northern virginia this is coming straight up the coast, through all those populated areas where you have boardwalks and all the amusements and the rides and everything else. of course the resort areas this is liable to be a 10 billion dollar storm when it is all said and done. even though you may not have the kind of wind that storms in the past have been producing this is not as tight as i thought it was going to be two days ago. but it is as big as a storm overall and coming north war. >> well, the question are we prepared? can anybody, can any people be prepared for something like this in an urban area? >> well, what you have to do is you have to go back and look at history. i know you are a didn't of history. you put these things together and say okay if we had this that 1944, 1950 and you look at this situation, you say what would happen today? one of the problems we hav

with isabel it took about a week or so. those folks were stuck. the only way out is the road unless they take the ferry. the entire beach is underwater. it was a wide beach that was just replenished. there's the atlantic swirling out there it's hard to get a sense of the wave heights because it's still dark. once we get the sunrise we'll get a better idea of the wave heights and how the erosion is taking place. the wider beach is protecting this very important tourist area, the outer banks. they want to get back in business and get everybody back in here ahead of the labor day weekend. they are booked solid next week, which starts today. the weeklies which stay through labor day would check in today. maybe tomorrow. it remains to be seen how bad this ends up being as far as road closures. there's only two ways in and out. there are a lot of trees as you go back on 168 away from the coast. we're going to get the worst of this weather later on this morning and this afternoon. it certainly will be a lot windier than it is right now where winds are gu

if you remember hurricane isabel, there were 6 million people who lost power in isabel. most of that occurred in areas outside of hurricane-force wind. >> hurricane bob, i think in '91, was the last major hurricane to hit the northeast. so the comparisons with irene i guess make sense. how similar are they? >> well, this is a lot larger than bob. i remember forecasting bob when i was at the hurricane center. that just clipped the eastern tip of long island. but it was a much, much smaller hurricane. this is going to be different. i would say that, you don't even have to have a hurricane up there in the long island area, new york city area, and cape cod area. this is such a large system, with the waves and the storm surge, it's going to do a lot of damage. so people really need to heed the advice of the local officials. the weather service offices are talking to those local emergency managers, and people need to heed their advice when they're told to do something. >> i was talking to someone on the subway today. a lot of new yorkers i don't think are ready, or even begun

i did survive isabel.hrough my house and my house was totally trashed. >> reporter: there's been this mad rush for sandbags when they arrived. the city told us they are rationing handbags. six to residents and a business can take ten. we talked to people who wanted to get 60. these are places where with hurricane isabel in 2003 found themselves under several feet of water. they are trying to do all they can to protect themselves. one last thing, there is no mandatory evacuation, but they set up annapolis high school as a place where people can go. buses will be available for people who can't make it out on their own. the city will use the reverse 911 call system to warn people. we'll see what happens here tomorrow. >> it's interesting there is not an evacuation. that is a very low-lying area where you're standing right there. i would imagine that not only are there businesses, there are hotels up the hill just a bit and the water could surely come flowing in and cause huge amounts of problems over the next

similar to what happened with isabel in 2003. where i'm now submerged completely under water.te of virginia took one on the chin in the hampton roads area, eastern shore. those folks can be without power for up to a week. >> you and i were talking yesterday and you were standing on the bow of one of those boats behind you. there was a risk for those boats and we were talking about the foolhardy nature of these owners you should have gotten the boats out of the water. they gambled okay. >> they doubled down their skills, secured their vessels. around 6:00 p.m. last night we tried to do another one of those boat shots and it go to be too rough. definitely an angry potomac river for a time there but all the boats were able to stay stationary and because the flooding did not come, there's this worry because it was at a stationary dock, not a floating dock, when the floating didn't come the boats stayed flight. vessel owners came through and maybe can go out. weather is supposed to turn tomorrow and tuesday. >> the difference from one day to the next. many thanks for your report. t

and if you remember hurricane isabelle, there were 6 million people who lost power in isabelle. most of that occurred in areas outside of hurricane-force wind. >> hurricane bob i think in '91 was the last major hurricane to hit the northeast. so the comparisons with irene i guess make sense. how similar are they? >> well, this is a lot larger than bob. i remember forecasting bob when i was at the hurricane center that. just clipped the eastern tip of long island, but it was a much, much smaller hurricane. this is going to be different. and i would say that you don't even have to have a hurricane up there in the long island area, new york city area and cape cod area. this is such a large system with the waves and the storm surge, it's going to do a lot of damage. so people really need to heed the advice of local officials. the weather service offices are talking to the local emergency managers and people need to heed their advice when they're told to do something. >> i was talking to someone on the subway today. a lot of new yorkers i just don't think are ready or have even begun

chesapeake on this forecast is not looking like it will have the kind of flood issue you saw with isabelle. then the winds will swing the other way. not so fortunate for delaware bay. north of dover, all the way down to beth any and then of course, into ocean city, we have a high probability of exceeding four feet in storm surge coupled with the waves and beach damage, property at low levels will be damaged. further up the coast looking at the same issue on storm surge in the long island sound and new york metropolitan area. our forecast from the hurricane center, a broadforecast of the four-eight feet. [inaudible] we'll have information to pin point the problem areas on the coast and bays and rivers. it will be in the four-eight foot range. next slide please. of course, the storm we show now. it moves northward and rainfall shifts from being in the northwest corner of the torm. coming in with the weather features pulling it off to the north. we are expecting 5-10 inches of rain in the midatlantic and new york and metropolitan area. and western part of new england. all of these areas have

you remember 2003, hurricane isabel.o one hurricane official here in the district who said it's very similar to preparations going on here. there's distribution of free sandbags here in washington, d.c. it's very important things are pft, power, flad and trees. that's going to be the main effect in our area right now. there have already been some massive cancellations that affected washington. primarily the martin luther king ceremony for the dedication of the memorial has been postponed indefinitely. no ideas whether that will be rescheduled. however, if you were already in washington planning to come down and see it the memorial itself is open, just won't be any service with the president to speak at to commemorate. if you're here, it's open, check it out. but d.c. is hunkering down. even to my right, workers putting sandbags over metro grates. that's not something you see every day in washington. >> one quick follow-up, is the federal government, obviously we expect this storm to hit the d.c. area over the weekend. we

talking about isabel. isabel left a huge impression and in fact, cut a part of the island out.e 2,000 feet away from the island up to 15 feet in depth all due to the heavy storm surge, the incredible erosion and that erosion is something that happens all the time on these kind of barrier islands. there is nothing beneath our feet except more sand. these aren't built on limestone. these islands aren't made with coral or anything like that. it's just pure sand. of course, erosion is heightened quickly when you have the tropical storm develop offshore and make a direct hit. >> they have been worry abouting the erosion issues for years. john zarrella is on moorehead city. how are things looking there, john? >> reporter: you can see, jim, they are starting to board up. we did see some of yesterday on atlantic beach. leach folks waited today to make sure the forecast is what it looks like it will be and we could be close to, if not in the eye of the storm. take you from here down to the beach here. jim, probably know this area and what is interesting this is actually a south-facing b

reporter: well, scott, we're here in annapolis, and of course everybody here remembers hurricane isabelle in 2003, the seven-foot storm surge and the flooding in the do you want area that came with it. this time, forecasters say the winds caused sort of a reverse tidal effect, so we did not get the flooding here, and instead, we had widespread power outages. in this area alone, 44% of the people who live here, were without power at one point. let's take a look at some of the total numbers from hurricane irene. in maryland, about 822,000 people remember without power. virginia, some 900,000. north carolina, 525,000. of course, these numbers are ticking up and down by the minute for a total of more than four million people without power as a result of hurricane irene. and, scott, the reason-- the main reason here is toppled trees. the dangerous combination of the torrential rain and the high wind gusts, as high as 80 miles per hour in some places, the rain saturating the soil, and the wind has come and toppled those trees. it's really been a dangerous combination. ing that the, we've seen m

hurricane isabel 2003 was an incredible destructive storm. the water level was much lower.the exact opposite happened. in higher neighborhoods inundated within a matter of hours. one resident caught the flood on camera with winds whipping the water onshore. just hours later, the waters receded, leaving a mess behind and weeks of cleaning up. people of virginia, now cleaning up as well. 1.2 million were without power from a full day of damaging winds and up it to 10 inches of rain. governor bob mcdonald was asking for patience. >> it's going to be a matter of days, perhaps longer before power is fully restored. >> reporter: the second worst power outage in virginia history. two states that will remember irene as a hurricane for the record books. people were warned that if they chose to stay behind and not evacuate when the storm was coming in that they would need at least three days of supplies of food and water to get through that period before authorities could get to them. the people on hatteras island are going to need that 72 hours worth of supplies. but they're working

in 2003, during hurricane isabel up to three plox were submerged underwater.or days and boats moved. there's a fear, i spoke to the mayor specifically today that that could happen again. so here's what we have to look at. tomorrow morning at 8:00 a.m., it's high tide. we've heard about this storm surge that's coming off the atlantic ocean going through the chesapeake bay. it's going to feed the potomac river mind me. at possibly 8:00 a.m., the water could break this dock where i'm standing and go into the city. now, the city of washington, d.c., there's a state of emergency as there is in the commonwealth of virginia. folks over there are holding tough. there is a worry about losing power. residents have been instructed to expect to lose power tonight and to watch out for falling trees. there's still a long way to go. but as you know, washington, d.c., alexandria, virginia, a lot of homes built around a lot of trees. people holding their breath that it passes through by 8:00 a.m. tomorrow. >>> luke, thanks for your reporting all night. while there is a long be

what we all remember hurricane isabel in 2003. it literally cut hatteras island in half.urface up here today on atlantic beach which is 40 miles to the west of cape hatteras, just because there is a system moving through, this is not anything to do with the hurricane. but within the next couple days from this direction over here, we expect to see all that water that is being piled up by the heavy winds, it is supposed to go to cat four from hurricane irene. that will bring a lot of surf on the beach. if you look out at the end of the beach the eye of the hurricane is tracked to pass 40 miles away, literally right over the cape hatteras lighthouse. mayor trace cooper from atlantic beach will meet with his emergency management people later on this afternoon or tomorrow morning and look at the track of storm and to determine whether or not they need to order evacuations. although they don't want to unduly evacuate this barrier island right now they're not taking any chances. take a listen. >> given the strength of the storm it is scary. we haven't had a magnitude four storm

isabel had a lot of tree damage. i expect that also. overnight, along the coast, we expected to impact the delaware bay was storm surge and high wind. by early morning, it will be moving up the coastline of new jersey affecting new jersey during the morning hours and then making the next big windfall across long island into new england and new york city. do not get too carried away with the exact point on there. the center is not tight. it is a broad area with hurricane-force winds. we will keep that in the forecast for now. the next slide, please. tropical storm wind probabilities, we've been talking about this for several days. a large area will likely be in. -- impact by tropical-storm force winds as it makes its way of the seaboard. we have saturated ground. those are areas we will be focusing on for the wind damage associated with trees coming down and the like. the next slide, please. this is the probability of the storm surge. if you are going to get higher than 4 feet of storm surge. the highest probability of storm surge is whe

she said i was here in hurricane isabell. and i rather to be in the comfort of my own home.ked up on supplies and i rather wait it out and having a couple of friends come over and wait out e storm. people are in shelters this evening you know there are five open areas and they are full. they are evacuate or staying home or shelters. >> good point, a lot of people stay put. few people who do this, a lot do it for the reason, they are comfortable in their own home. i am not sure that is a great reason to stay put. we'll check back in with you later. >> we have new videotape in to us. morehead city, north carolina. that is right there. the boat is getting tossed about and it is moored. you are not sure it will make it through. two piers in the outer banks are wiped out. a car dealership had the roof ripped off and a hospital running in generator power. north carolina senator hagen is with us. >> good day to you, bill. >> there is a lot of focus in virginia and new jersey and the city of new york that is getting a lot of attention, however, north carolina is getting pounded by i

. >> hurricane isabell helped to redrew the coast of the north carolina. and cut with 2000 foot swamp and isolated the island for months and now hearing that irene could do the same. john robert system in kill devil hills in the north carolina outer bank. how goes it, john? >> it is going well. bill. in fact kids had to go to school by ferry while they replaced the cut that isa bell made. in a couple of places by cape hatteras island the storm swell is come in to a degree it may have cut inland. there is another interesting phenom nan under way. i am going to go out in the next hour and that is waters of the sound back in kitty hawk bay are pushed back by hurricane and turned them in to mud flaps. anybody on the outer banks will know that is a lot of boats and paragliding. there is nothing but mud . in the next few hours or so waters will come back in and surge up. and in addition to the storm surge we'll get we'll get south side storm surge. we'll tell you about the lay of the land. we are in an unusual part of the hurricane. and moments when the wind is

. >> quÉ pasa con la demanda que enfrentan con isabel vÁzquez? >> con quiÉn? de personas elegibles no están escritas en programas de medicare que una asistencia financiera podría ahorrar dinero, para hablar del resto de los envió a la directora de la oficial participación pública del centro de servicio de medicare. me interesa muy conocidas. >> gracias félix por los pies. >> algo que me sorprende este recortes que se van a recortar los programas, como se entiende que haya 2 millones de personas que tienen la posibilidad y no están en los programas, es por descuido o es por falta de información. >> bueno, puede ser por falta de información, porque este programa es el beneficio adicional para personas que ya están en el programa de medicare, y que tienen muy bajos recursos y muy bajos ingresos, entonces son para personas que tienen 65 años de edad o más. y también para personas que han estado incapacitados por más de dos años, entonces ya que esperan el problema de medicare puede calificar para este programa, que se llama beneficio adicional, y que les ayuda con
