once a volcano, the island became a fortress. first when the spanish where there, they put canons on it to defend the bay, and after the spanish american war, the americans turned into the gibraltar the pacific, and that's when it came a force. they dug these massive tunnels and build massive, bunkers giant coastal guns that were built to protect the bay. the head of the tadpole, as we see, on the left side of the map, is called topside. and this is built up mountain. it looks like it's sticking its head out of the water. that's where the parachute drops were made. and the base around the tail, there's a little hump, and that is the main tunnel built there as a storage tunnel, but later you will find japanese lay siege to the island and it becomes a headquarter for general macarthur and, later, a refuge for the last american survivors. three years later, becomes a last refuge for the japanese. so why is corregidor important? why doesn't hold this mythology in american military history. in late 1941, general macarthur was caught o

we're on bethel island you're looking at bradford island. this fire started around 1:30 this morning and unfortunately as you look left to right there's a lot of wind fueling the fire. a few more left on their own. there's about 10 to 20 people who have decided to stay, try to protect their property and fight this fire against the advice of the fire department. the fire department has left the scene. they aren't fighting this fire for two reasons. one, bradford island isn't part of a fire protection district. they do not pay for fire protection. two, it is an island and the fire department tells us typically they just let these kind of fires burn. most of the island is undeveloped. the chief tells me there's cattle out here and also pot farms so that could explain why people are staying behind. there's a ferry here, we saw somebody go on there with a trailer presumably to go get some of their animals and bring them back to safety. a couple of structures have been damaged and again, you've got about 10 to 20 people who according to the battal

they were dying of dehydration when they cite an island an island. they were not aware of they they misnamed it called it duchy island. it was actually henderson island. you know, you can't make the stuff up and so, you know just as they're on the verge of death, they cite this island sail up to it. and there's no water. they can't find any water until luckily. it's it's a spring high and low tide. and at dead low tide bubbling from a rock that's usually submerged is fresh water. you know, this is positively biblical right and and this saves for now and you know and and but they would realize that you know, and this is almost a metaphor or the human race on this planet because within just a couple of days a couple of weeks, they realize they're killing off all of the wildlife that they could sustain themselves the birds and if they stayed for any length of time they would ultimately star, you know, so they decide we got to push on and it's then where three men not nantucketers a couple of them from cape cod one was an englishman decide realized you k

the tiny island of block island. a thousand san, maybe 2,500 people in season, a beautiful place. it's hard to get to. we'll be hearing stories about what happened there. you'll want to listen for that. for the rest of us, it's going to be about duration. you're going to hear about this storm and where it is, pockets of flooding and what that means for people afterwards, the vulnerable, the elderly, the heat and humidity that could last days afterwards. if there are power outages, that becomes a significant concern. for here they have different shots. this is where i live in east hampton. you have a lot of locals checking it out. thank god it's a day to observe and not hunker down and hide. the outer bands are circling in counterclockwise fashion here. there will be rain. there will be exposure in new york and in different areas for hours to come. in terms of intensity, you have to move up into new england. connecticut and newport, rhode island, where it originally made landfall. we saw gusting there 50-plus miles an

if you are on fire island and you do not evacuate fire island now, i think you are putting yourself inplease heed the county executive's warning. last point is, we can do everything we can do to get ready. but this is not our first rodeo. and at the end of the day, it is up to the people of the state to make the right decision. if you know you are in an area that tends to flood, if you know you are in a tidal area that tends to flood, if you know you are in an area that is subject to tidal surges, get out of that area now, please. and get to another and better place of safety. the main situation we have in these emergencies are trying to rescue people who stayed in place. and then they create a dangerous situation for everyone. i've been on the swift water rescue teams, i've been in the boats in the middle of storms trying to get to people as their homes are getting washed away. trying to take children out of windows before the house gets washed away. if if you don't take the right actions, not only do you put your life in danger, you then put the life in danger of the emergency worker

he sort of drives around the island. he goes to where he used to live and he goes to melania tunnel. where he his headquarters wasn't where he lived right before he was evacuated but his family and then he goes up and looks at some of the batteries that you know, really were what corregidor's claim to fame was what's interesting is is one of the things he says is he's standing in front of battery wheeler, which was one of the massive coastal guns and he says his gentleman corregidor is living proof that the day of the fixed fortress is over. and i sort of have that quote in there and that quote is sort of stuck with me because you know, i think what he's saying is when the japanese took it took corregidor, you know, they bombed it they didn't attack it with ships, you know regular was really built to fight a naval a naval attack and to shoot back at ships, but when the bombers get involved or when you drop paratroopers on top of it this idea of building a fortress island to protect the mouth in the middle. manila bay is

when they cite an island. an island they were not aware of.amed it and call that deutsche island but it was henderson island. you cannot make this stuff up. just as they are on the verge of death they cite the silent, sail up to it. there is no water, they cannot find water. luckily it's a spring high and low tide. dead low tide, bubbling from iraq with usually submerges freshwater. this is positively biblical. and they are safer now. but theyy would realize, this is almost a metaphor for human race on this planet. within a couple days, couple weeks they realize the killing off all of the wildlife to sustain themselves. the birds, and if they say for any length of time that ultimately starved. so they decide to got to push on. it's then were three men, not nantucket as a couple from cape cod and one in englishman realize this is an ingrown group of nantucket others, good luck to you boys were to stay on dry land. so they would stay. very emotional party. ultimately they would be rescued because the survivors would send a ship there. another gr

we drove up from the central part of the island. we drove the length of the island up north and over and the roads we came down just yesterday are no longer accessible. they are closed off because the wildfires have cut access to those roads and those wildfires are still burning. the small bush fires we saw yesterday, our overnight continued to burn and spread. and now they have basically spread to different parts of the island. and rescue teams are still trying to put out blazes in several parts of the northern areas of the island. and here's our report. thought pesky was a quiet seaside town of the northern most point of area now of vital part of the fire fighting operations on the island. helicopters fly in low refill their water bays and head back to the fires. any other year. these beaches would be packed with tourists. now the boardwalk is deserted because the hills are on fire. the terrain on area is uneven. the forest dense roads wind through valleys between towns and villages where smoke has made visibility so poor. much of

when jones gets permission to take the island, he takes a reconnaissance flight over the island. and on one passing, he spots two clearings, and that top was the boldest, and one was a old nine-hole golf course and the other was a parade field, but on another pass, he can see that there is an airfield on the tail section towards right of the map on the tail. that is where he decides that he is going to jump. he is going to jump on the airfield, and it is flat and wide and easy to jump on. but he is overruled, and they order him to jump topside because they had set up the japanese to repel amphibious. because if you jump to the top and the middle, they would have the high ground and fight down. so they are going to be using two columns of the c-47 cargo planes and the paratroops would approach from the southwest at 400 feet, and the planes over the landing fields for six seconds per pass, so they would have to jump in six pairs of eight, and so two passes with 68 guys a pass, and make three passes. so the prevailing intelligence says about 800 japanese men there, and when they get

this is our live camera here on long island. as you can see, the renest are here to come down. >> we mentioned earth they're all already areas here in new york there are getting flooded. a lot of rain that canceled that big nyc homecoming concert early. so, we're going to get to all this. but first, we're going to start with breaking news of hurricane henri. >> as i mentioned, the latest hurricane centered advisory just coming in. it is a category one storm. 75 mile an hour winds. as it inches closer to land, you see where it is right there. >> what we're showing it on the screen right now is the radar. this cone of concern here. the storm has moved a little bit east, but there are still many areas along the northeast coast that are in danger. and people are preparing, boarding up, making a lot of last-minute runs. >> and that radar right there shows you how large the storm actually is. it's covering hundreds and hundreds of miles, where you have some of the outer rain bands sitting. >> certainly. coming up in this two hour show

it hit block island, about ten nautical miles off the eastern tip of the southern shore of long island. mon montague, ten miles away is block island. small place, 2500 residents maybe in peak season. what happened on that island? we don't know yet. those reports will start coming out. then the storm tracked to the west. and now it is slowing down. now, what does that mean? the wet part of a storm, one step backwards, most dangerous part of a storm, northeast quadrant. you never want to be there. if that's where you're hit, it's the whip of the force of the wind. okay? it's like a turbo around there. now, the western part, better. southern and western, wet. that's what we're dealing with now. so july was a record rain month in this area of the country. what does that mean if you have 6, 12, 15 hours of steady rainfall? now, this is pretty spitty. but if it gets heavier like it was earlier this morning, that will give you pockets of flooding. we're already seeing that up island and toward manhattan. remember from last night, new york city in central park got the most rain in a single hou

, connecticut, long island. this is going to be the case the rest of the day. several inches of have fallen in new jersey. the bands are not moving. this is the stuff we talked about where the areas are going to get inundated with very heavy rain band after rain band after rain band. some of the lighter bands are off to the north. this is newport, the hamptons and eventually towards providence as well as hartford. that's why you have flash flood watches in green and the flash flood warning across areas of new jersey in anticipation of additional rainfall coming in. now, some of these areas, they have already seen plenty of rain. even if it stops new, it isn't. brooklyn, new york, picked up 6 inches of rain, prospect park, new york, central park just about 4.5 inches of rain and those numbers are expected to rise as more of that rain continues to come in as the storm pushes inland. one thing to note, yes, obviously, you are going to get heavy rain on the coast, but inland areas, upstate new york, vermont, new ham

so first off, let's talk about corregidor, the island. it is little more than four miles in length and shaped like a rocky tadpole, and sits in the mouth of the manila bay. it comes from the name of magistrate corrector because when the spanish took over the philippines, it was the first stop for ships in the manila bay and that is when you would go to get your records checked and that where the name came. so it became a fortress first when the spanish were there to defend the mouth of the bay, and then after the spanish american bay, the americans turned it into the gibraltar of the specific, and they dug into the massive bunkers and the giant coastal guns that were built to protect the bay. the head of the tadpole as you can see on the left side of the map is called topside. this is really a built-up mountain that looks like a head. it is looking like it is sticking the tadpole sticking the head out of the water, and this is where the parashoot drops were made. where the tail is, around the middle there is a place called malenta hill, a

most likely over eastern long island and areas of western rhode island as well.nywhere basically from the hamptons up to about newport, rhode island would be the best target point. it will continue to move inland before making a sharp turn to turn out to the east. stu storm surge is significant today. for some areas it's the next several hours where the worst of the storm surge is going to take place. the one thing to note, too, a lot of these high tides, a lot of these areas have yet to hit high tide. we are in that high tide cycle, meaning the water is coming up and it's a coming up as well because of the tropical system. you have that double wham any of the stunl and the high tide. outer bands have been producing heavy rain across new jersey. we are starting to see them spread into other states as well. very heavy rain. look at the yellow and red from a couple of hours ago into new jersey stretching over into philadelphia as well. now some of those ounz pushing into massachusetts, rhode island, connecticut, and even along eastern long island we have got some v

, rhode island. the storm is starting to bend to the left. we are going to have this heading up towards the connecticut/rhode island border. doesn't look like we'll get that island landfall, but it does look like it should be happening near westerly, rhode island. winds are starting to pick up along the twin forks of long island. a wind gust on block island up to 50 miles per hour. slowly the winds are moving onshore and we'll begin to have power outages. right now we're doing okay. here is the new -- now we're getting hourly updates from the hurricane center. the storm is only 40 miles south-southeast of montauk and heading up to the east of montauk. winds at 70 and moving at 16 miles per hour. pretty quick pace. you can do the math. in three to four hours we'll get our landfall and this is the latest hurricane center track over the top of block island. landfall into rhode island. that would bring the strongest winds in. widespread power outages are likely and storm surge happening later in those ar

and it's a period that has had a lasting impact on those pacific island communities. me on any cool winter night unusual and main city. a taste of more tropical pacific islands can easily be found. oakland is the world's largest polynesian city, with indigenous moldy joined by generations of migrants from countries like some or fiji and tongue up. but the vibrancy color and contribution of polynesians haven't always been welcomed here. we were the people that were responsible for the disintegration of, of the economy and the new zealand dream, the painters were vigilante group set up in the 1900 seventy's to defend the rights of modi and pacific islanders and to change the racist views held by many white new zealanders, we can educate them, they're not new to our way of life. let's keep stuff. one result of that sentiment was an immigration crackdown, targeting pacific islanders who had been brought here because of labor shortages. the often violent dawn rage, which the government has now apologizing for. so police searching homes, businesses and even churches looking

it is near the rhode island border. while connecticut was spared from a direct hit, the governor in the last hour stressing we need to take the impact of this storm seriously. >> don't get complacent. as i said before, sandy, those were not hurricanes either. because the terrain is so wet, you do have, just a 40, 50 gusts. knocks over trees and that's why we're watching the power outage situation so carefully. >> and to give you a live look from the earth cam, we're looking at montauk, new york. the storm is causing threatening conditions. it has brought with it dangerous storm surge, strong winds, also some flooding rainfall. and in washington, the president will be speaking later on this afternoon with an update on how his administration is responding to henri. president biden now approved emergency declarations for connecticut and rhode island. we go first to nbc's kathy park in rhode island near where the storm made landfall. how are conditions there now? you had to batten down the hatches earlier. >> well, the wind
