( sandy crying ) ( door slams ) ( crying ) oh, my god. no, it'll just set jack off. just wait right here. i'm coming. i can handle it, kevin. no, i'm coming with you and that's final. sandy, it's me. rebecca. is he here? he's gone. what happened? all the broken plates... you told him, didn't you? yup. are you all right? he hit me... but i locked myself in the bathroom. sandy, what a nightmare. let's get out of here, huh? all right, kevin, take the box. there, i packed my stuff. let's go. hurry, all right? now, uncle brendan proposed that both of them should go with him to the farm. s

just a month before sandy, one of those key g.o.e.s.lites that monitors the atlantic and caribbean where sandy was born went down. >> there was enough uncertainty while we're still in hurricane season that we took the precautionary measure to move the other satellite over. >> perhaps, some experts say, a foreshadowing. dr. kevin trenberth of the national center for atmospheric research says noaa got lucky they had a back-up satellite standing by. >> if there's a major failure of the satellites, that would be a major disaster and we would be blinded in many respects. we would not be able to see what's going on in the earth's system as well as we can now. >> there is concern within a few years that safety net may be gone. independent research supports and internal memos show noaa has fallen behind because of budget cuts, complicated organization, and flawed management. i of particular concern, the polar satellites that provide so much of the data on hurricanes and the global big picture. the next generation satellite may not be ready by 2

sandy tells rebecca that it was just an accident.ca doesn't believe her because she remembers that jack used to be quite aggres3ive. sandy, your face is all black and blue. what on earth happened to you? why are you wearing sunglasses? it's nothing. i... i bumped into a door. did jack hit you? speaker: i think that she just doesn't want to give any explanation at that point. she felt that's the wrong place, the wrong time. it's already very difficult for rebecca... that's what i think-- that she doesn't want to give rebecca any extra trouble. rebecca? uncle brendan. it's so good to meet you, finally. yeah, i wish it were under happier circumstances. how are you holding up? we're o.k. it's dad i'm worried about. does he know you called me? yes. he wants to see you. can i go in and see him? excuse me. this is my unclerendan. he'd like to see my father. yes, come in. he's resting. uh... i'd like to see him alone for a few minutes, if that's o.k. yes. of course. i hope we did the right thing. kev, are you all right? i'm worried about you

we lost two people during sandy because of that. people please, if their heat goes out, their electricity goes out, to be very careful because carbon monoxide poisoning, we got dozens of calls during sandy for that and had to deal with everything from fires to even two deaths that were caused by artificial heating resources. >> mr. -- >> we're asking everyone to stay safe and call 911 if you have an emergency because there are hundreds of us out here ready to help you. >> thank you for joining us. stay safe. i hope we don't have to hear any stories of you needing to take it on yourself to rescue people. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> and just for all of you out there living in the new jersey area. nonemergency hotline number, 973-733-4311. use it if you need help. we're going to go to break. when we come back, the survivors of hurricane sandy are bracing for more devastation. we'll have some of them joining us live coming up. see you then. resources they need. bright students are getting lost in the shuffle. and administ

sandy was a new record. it would make this storm the strongest ever to reach north of north carolina in terms of intensity. it was stronger than the 1938 long island express. it represented through long island kelling over 700 people. we summarized it for you on abc2news.com. mike masco. guys? >>> parents with kids who play sports are constantly getting information about the dangers of concussion. >> there's a new bill that ignited a debate. lamont williams has the story. >> reporter: the national football league has taken the issue of concussion and the small term effects and placed them in the front of our awareness. sports programs are being educated on concussions. until now the focus has been on male sports. state delegate john cardin wants to include protection in women sports. the house bill with require all athletic associations to provide helmets to girls 19 and under playing la crosse. >> if you don't have any protection on your head, then a ball that is missed or a rogue stick can hit somebody. >>

i have a first grader at sandy hook. by the grace of god she was shoved in the bathroom along with her 14 friends and her teacher. i won't begin to tell you the things that she says and draws right now. and it's progressively getting worse. so anything we can do for our community. but i think we need to get in the same page. and if someone does speak tomorrow, let's all be on the same page. >> there's a huge silent majority out there that i believe is easily motivated not to be silent any more if we give them the tools. and that's what we're working towards. >> when you go out and you advocate, your power is 1,000 to one, because people aren't showing up. and the fact that you're from newtown is even more important. >> i feel like our grief puts us in a unique position of power. and i actually believe that we can, with that power, help level the playing field with the special interests that are out there. >> and i do think the tide is turning, but our window right now is extremely limited. this is going to move very, ver

here are saying sandy has had positive effect. some structures are overdue for years and now the authorities e trying to fin that for are others, too. >> in terms of our roads, our roads are horrible. we have been fighting, fighting, fighting to get simple paving done. and each year they put it off but now they are going to finally pave us all the way down, that was something they were going to put us off for four years. >> it's done a lot of good things actually. >> the road pam has in mind is this one. state road 35. the most important traffic artery in mantiloking. the state of new jersey has been responsible for maintaining it, but the state has been very frugal on getting it -- a super power. it's the same thing with the power grid. mostly above ground and very vulnerable. america's infrastructure is crumbling, and the price tag for fixing it is high. about $1 trillion over the next seven years. pam's invited me to visit her house. as a resident she has the necessary paperwork for the police blocks. but she has to be out of t

of sandy hook promise. we'll talk about that later. and also with us is bill sherlock. his wife, mary, was the school psychologist there at sandy hook elementary. she died in the gunfire, but she is going to be honored with a presidential citizens medal on friday. bill, i just want to check in first to see how you're doing as, you know, a grieving loved one who lost his dear wife, mary. how are you? >> we're fine. my daughters and i are -- we have our moments. good moments, bad moments, good days, bad days. two days ago would have been mary's birthday, so that was a little bit of a rough slide that day, but we're doing it day by day. >> i bet. did you, by any chance, hear what the president said in the state of the union regarding gun control and did you have an opinion about what he said? >> i did watch the state of the union address last night, and again, one of the reasons why i put my efforts behind the sandy hook promise, as well as the foundation for my wife, is because i believe that a multifaceted a

sandy? where are youuuu? san-dy! oh sandy! ahhh! whoooa! i'm, i'm... stuck! eugh!hese are my friends sally and nick. hello! - hi! pleased to meet you. i hope you like cleaning-up because, by the looks of it, there's plenty to do today. can you show us how to be good cleaner-uppers? hmm, let me take a look at you. mmhmm. okay. you look like you're up for it. all you need to do is copy what i do. got it? - yes! good. we don't have much time - we've got to get this beach cleared up, lickety-split! let's get cleaning! wow. nice jump! how are we going to keep up? i have just the thing! cool! all right, set your go-go-jumpers to 'sand hopper'... and away we go, go, goooooo!

so, they did that in sandy hook and it saved lives. we will do that exact same thing should that event happen at any point in san francisco, and we're going to train so that that's the case for as long into the future as we can see to keep our kids safe. i, like supervisor cohen, want to applaud the mayor's leadership on this, to identify the most lethal ammunition, and to have allow the citizens to allow the police department to maintain the database. being the first city in the country to make that ammunition illegal as you will hear later, dr. campbell from probably the best trauma ward in the country will tell you what that ammunition does to people when they are hit by it. and then, again, to ask for a reporting on people that purchase as much or more as 500 rounds of ammunition so we cannot only track those people that are buying ammunition, but frequency of purchase as you can stockpile that ammunition. it is not going to be the -- any sort of suspension of the constitution. this is just smart, thoughtful community coming togeth

. >> pelley: well terrell, new yorkers are watching with two bad memories in mind-- hurricane sandy, which was just 103 days ago, and the last blizzard two years ago that paralyzed the nation's largest city. here's jim axelrod. >> reporter: tonight new york city is take nothing chances. 1,700 snowplows have been deployed 450 salt spreaders 65 front-end loaders. mayor michael bloomberg. >> it's not going to be a hurricane sandy but that doesn't mean you can't get badly hurt or killed if you're not careful. >> reporter: the devastation from superstorm sandy is a fresh memory and so is the blizzard two years ago that dumped 20 inches here. the streets took days to clear hindering emergency vehicles and city buses. >> we're just basically stuck on this block you know? >> reporter: g.p.s. tracking devices on garbage trucks will allow new yorkers to punch their addresss into a web page and track when their block will be plowed. 6,100 sanitation workers are now mobilized. 400 more than two years ago. union president harry nespoli said they just started to catch their breath after sandy. >>

superstorm sandy hit in october. so many still reeling from that still trying to get their heat and power back on, and, again, welcome. we are sitting in the cnn weather center where we are watching the snowstorm move all across the northeast, we're live here in the middle of the night for you continuous updates on conditions, we have a team of reporters all across the region. take a look. susan candiotti in boston for us, gary tuchman in staten island and alison kosik in new york. let's begin in boston. look at these cars. think about getting that snow off that car. 19 inches of snow has already fallen and 70-mile-an-hour wind gusts could whip up snow drifts six or seven feet deep. susan candiotti, let me come back to you for me in boston. how are conditions there? >> reporter: well, the snow is swirling. it is miserable. it is cold. but i have to say it doesn't feel quite as cold as it was, you know, a few hours ago, although when i checked the temperature gauge which you're never quite sure if they're quite right,

super-storm sandy also knocked down defenses against storm surge all along the coast. tonight, with wind gusts of 70 miles an hour coming in from the atlantic, a lot of folks are casting a wary eye on the sea. seth doane is with them. >> this is supposed to be a high wall. all of this is leveled. where is the ocean going to go? it's going to go right over it. >> the sea berm that used tohood w protect franca costa's neighborhood was damaged by hurricane irene in 2011 and destroyed by super-storm sandy last october. she's anxiously watching the ocean. >> i need to come back in a couple hours and see where it is. >> keep your eye on the water? >> that's the main thing. i have to keep my eye on where the water is. >> reporter: when sandy hit, a wall of water nearly ten feet high washed through costa's w staten island neighborhood. her ho her house was one of a handful left standing.>> my >> my house got destroyed. it drowned. there was eight feet on the outside and six feet on the inside. >> reporter: thanks to neighbors and friends, flood insurance and fema, this 47-year

and they cited sandy as number one. >> it wasn't just sandy. when the numbers finally came in for obama, he just cleaned romney's clock. i mean, he did. unfortunately for you guys, it was a really bad beating in the end. it wasn't really close, wasn't a nail biter, a surprise obama ran a much better campaign. you can't honestly blame a storm and say, that's what led to obama winning. >> no. >> obama was going to win -- >> i tend to believe that cnn's polling was accurate, wouldn't you? >> i think all the polls should be taken with a large pinch of salt. i really do, i think that nate silver was the guy -- >> he doesn't work for cnn. >> he doesn't. but we had him on this show three or four times, and nate silver kept looking at me in the eye and saying, all the pundits are wrong, all the polls are misleading. obama's going to win this easily. >> the question is why obama won by such a margin. there's been such a demographic shift in the united states. i thought it changed because of a charismatic candidate. 8 million whites stayed home in 2012.

compare that to sandy. sandy had a storm surge 10 to 14 feet in some cases. we're literally half of that. because there are some vulnerable homes. the storms have been eating away at the coastline, some storms are going to fall into the ocean. but they're vulnerable homes. >> every time i see a storm like this, i think of the movie "the perfect storm." . >> you can't help not to, right? >> and we did have a couple of different elements really build this thing up, didn't we? >> oh, yeah. sandy was a hurricane that turned into just this super storm. it merged with another storm. this is one of the same scenarios where we saw a storm literally -- all everyone on the east coast got the rain this morning that was piece one. the second piece was the foot of snow that fell in michigan last night. and those two are merging and meeting south of new england. and that's your ingredients for the blizzard. >> bill cairns, thanks for joining us tonight. joining us now from boston is weather channel's jim cantore. jim, how bad is it where you are tonight? >> well, it's pret

the shooting at sandy hook happened on december 14th, okay?n december 16th, two days later, the president travelled to connecticut to speak at an interfaith prayer vigil at newtown high school. the same day on the 16th appearing on "meet the press", dianne feinstein of california introduced plans to introduce a new assault weapons ban in the new congress. then the next day, december 17th, a new group called newtown united, which has since been renamed the sandy hook promise, they held their first meeting to talk about ideas for addressing gun violence, and for keeping their town's tragedy in the news until change was made. then two days later, december 19th, president obama announces the formation of a white house gun violence task force and puts vice president biden in charge of that effort. the next day, december 20th, vice president biden already gets to work, already meeting with law enforcement leaders in washington. and we get the photo op to show he is doing it. that same day, mayors against illegal guns makes news with data shows major
