let's move further south there from jersey city and on to philadelphia where mayor michael nutter is on the phone. big concern for you, mayor, before irene hit the rivers, your state was already very much saturated from preef yis rain. how do you feel this morning about what took place? >> well, it has been an incredible storm fredericka. i'm in the east falls section of philadelphia and looking at the schuylkill river which is just about cresting, maybe about 14, 15 feet. it is almost up to where a traffic light is. that's how high the river is. i just took a photo of it. we're concerned about flooding in a variety of areas across philadelphia. many of our creeks and rivers and streams already at flood stage and we may see some reseeding this afternoon. that's an issue. power outages of course in philadelphia, about 10,000 right now but it was at 21,000 earlier today. our energy company peco is doing a great job in philadelphia but there are many outages across the region. part of the problem is that the rain has gone away but significant winds that whip around and take down trees,

moving north, we have cape bay, new jersey with a 62 mile an hour gust just in the last few minutes and we have a tornado watch for the new york city, new jersey metropolitan area. we've had toadoes, we just had one go through delaware that damage destroyed 15 homes there. little bit of meteorology here. look at the upper air jet stream pulling the air out of the top of this hurricane. that's why we think that the circulation here is going to stay moderately strong. not just up to new york city but on up all the way to canada and that's why this is a multidimensional threat. to the west of the track, severe flooding here over saturated ground with the wind gusting up 40, 50, 60 miles an hour will take down trees. on the other side, coastal inundation from virginia up to new england arriving in the new york city area tomorrow morning about coincident with hi tide. we're concerned for the jersey shore, long island. because the natural tide will be five feet up. storm surge on top of that. brian. >> bryan, this storm another way to put it, still has all the water to deliver that it had these days, these many days marching up the east

they say it simply won't be safe here. >> reporter: i'm kenneth murton in atlantic city, new jersey. and i ine is expected to hit here tomorrow night. this is the famous atlantic city boardwalk. and tonight it is just about empty. the governor has ordered the evacuation of four coastal counties, which could impact 750,000 people. casinos like trump plaza here have started to board up and close down one by one. >> reporter: i'm marcy gonzalez in q qens, new york. and we're expected to start feeling the effects of this storm tomorrow night into sunday. and for the first time in new york city history, mandatory evacuations are under way in several areas. tonight, the mayor opening more than 90 shelters like this for those with nowhere else to go. >> reporter: i'm david kerley in martha's vineyard, where for the past 36 hours visitors have been cutting short their vacations to get off the island before the hurricane hits. most flights have been canceled. the only way out? ferries. they've added a lot of boats to get everybody off the island in time. >> thanks to david and the abc reporter

i have to show you, the wind gusts in atlantic city, new jersey, just went to 57 miles per hour. torm has been long gone from atlantic city, new jersey. it's incredible it is that windy down. there i'm sure folks are surprised how stiff that breeze is. >> that's one of the places that the governor of the state was concerned about because you had the senior citizens in this high rise who didn't want to leave atlantic city, wanted to ride out the storm there. but this is the problem that persists. a lot of people assume this is over, it's past the new york area, that's the densely populated area, but still we have lingering effects here. >> 57-mile-per-hour gusts is enough to bring down a tree limb and kill someone. so, word of advice from new jersey northwards, just wait until tomorrow morning. >> thank you. >>> ocean city, maryland is reopening to visitors now. the chesapeake city bay bridge is reopened. the biggest problem is downed trees, even power lines. tom costello is live in ocean city, maryland. what's the latest there? especially on the power outages. >> yeah. it seems to

heading further north across the coast of jersey, ocean city, if you live in the area, hopefully you've heeded evacuation orders and peak times here expected to be saturday evening, into overnight hours into early sunday morning. so there, we're looking at winds in excess of 75 miles per hour, storm surge three to seven feet that. could change as we continue to monitor the storm system, it could likely be higher than that. and we're looking at expected rainfall, locally over a foot of rain going to be big issues when it comes to flooding and further north across new york city area, you're looking at peak impact times between sunday, 6:00 a.m. and into sunday afternoon, winds in excess of 50 miles per hour easily. up to 85 miles per hour into areas closer towards the coast. you're seeing that onshore flow from the storm system. power outages will be likely. i would not be shock fd you're looking at outages for days in the areas. trees will be down. again, damage expected along the areas and a storm surge between four to eight feet is expected and over a foot of rain will be possible so.

by about sunday morning, new york city, new jersey, atlantic city, continuing on over to massachusetts and areas to the north. monday morning it looks like this will become a tropical storm. this morning here at home we've got fog and clouds, coast and bay side as well as some of the inland areas. 70s to 80s around the bay. low 90s expected in the inland areas. by 9:00, 10:00, mostly sunny skies. for the coast mostly sunny, partly cloudy for the afternoon. our morning lows this morning been holding on to the 50s, low 60s. for the afternoon some of us will be a tad warmer. 83 novato. low 70s berkeley. 67 for the city of san francisco. 80 redwood city. our inland areas will be warm. 92 morgan hill, 73 degrees. if you're headed that way -- if you're headed to the sierra the moisture is creeping our way. it could bring clouds. so make sure you check that forecast. our temperatures for the week continuing to warm on sunday. the coast could be slightly cooler. monday and tuesday, a better cooling trend around the area. >>> in vallejo police investigating the armed robbery of a beauty shop th

talking about norfolk and delmarva and the jersey shore and long island and on up into new england where hurricane warnings are all the way up. and here's new york city, here's jersey, here's long island and it's that circulation like this that's going to push water into that corner that is so dangerous in the new york city metropolitan area and that's why the evacuations are ordered there and of course it's pushing water all the way up along the coastline and that's why we have evacuations from top to bottom. now the other threat is the inland threat, caused by this very large hurricane and dumping rain on saturated ground with winds up in the 40, 50-mile-per-hour range for perhaps eight, maybe 12 hours and many, many trees will not be able to with stand that, trees will come down, power will be out for an extended period of time, so for a lot of people, that may end up being the legacy of this hurricane. brian? >> all right, brian norcross starting us off tonight with the very best information available, though i wish you had better news for us here on the coastline. brian, thanks, we'll be talking to you later of course. >>> up and down the east c

also the new jersey coastline and up into new york city. we don't want to get overly concerned with the extreme center of the storm just because with this storm it's kind of unique and rare that the hurricane force winds do stretch out 90 miles from the center and tropical force winds 250 miles from the center of the storm. this is going to be historic on many levels with the size, the strength and the path that it's taking. there's no doubt there. >> jeff rainieri, thank you. >> michael sidle, he's live with out on the outer banks. >> reporter: we still have the wind and rains. hurricane force wind gusts to our south down to the cape, that's down highway 12. that's that highway that always gets cut off. north carolina d.o.t. have heavy congresswomen to get it open soongs they can. 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 sens
