sandi. >> that true mystery, what happened to the vibrant young mom who vanished from a seattle suburb endured for years. those who loved sandi johnson, those who longed for her return waited almost two decades for answers, and a slice of justice. the story starts in april 1996. april 26th, to be precise. a friday in the seattle area, the weather was doing what it does in this part of the world, clouding up and spritzing rain. that day, sandi johnson, a 28-year-old wife and mother, had a to do list as long as her arm. >> she was going to run and do all her errands that day to get ready for her son's birthday party the next day. >> vicky fulkerson was a friend of sandi's. they bonded in the hospital after their sons were born on the same day. sandi was a little younger than vicky, a tiny woman with a huge zest for life. >> i loved being around sandi. seemed like she really cared about people. >> no one knew that better than sandi's cousins, gina boone, they all grew up together. >> sandi is a

also with super storm sandy, we had days and days to prepare for super storm sandy.uper storm sandy. this changed trajectory so we actually have less notice. and one of the things i'm concerned about is the people of the state have had less notice to really, fully actualize what might happen here. so i hope people take this very seriously. the hurricane is supposed to hit, specifically, in -- on long island, closer to suffolk. central suffolk, towards eastern suffolk. that depends on what model you follow for the track of the storm. as you know, they have a number of models and the models change over time. we still have about 24 hours. so you could see the models change. it could move east somewhat, it could move west somewhat, which would obviously be more problematic for new york state. right now it is forecast to hit long island, go across the sound and travel into connecticut and along the new york state border. and again, there are different tracks and we'll update you if the tracks change. for the long island effects will be certainly serious. tidal areas, talk

by tomorrow night i lose my title of smokey sandy.ness, better air quality expected right on through sunday which is obviously good news for all of us, especially for those who suffer from respiratory illnesses. the wind switches direction, stronger onshore breeze beginning tomorrow morning, really helping to scour the smoke out of here as we head towards tomorrow night. bay area airports are looking at hazy skies tomorrow, low 60's to 70's, breezy conditions, honolulu some scattered showers, new york city a chance, 82 slight chance of summer. los angeles, 78 degrees. also around the bay, he hazy you -- hazy view from our walnut camera. better quality into sunday and it will be breezier and below average for the weekend. the fox mills and tess pilsen tomorrow morning we will see patchy drizzle and it pulls back to the coast tomorrow afternoon. temperatures will range from the 50's to the 60's in the morning with hazy conditions. afternoon highs in the low 60's to the low 80's. it will be raising near the coast and the accuweather 7 da

you know, they have survived sandy. i know that is something that a lot of people bring up in this community. they said it was, obviously very bad with sandy in 2012, but they were watching the models closely. they weren't sure how big of an impact it would be. obviously they were heeding the warnings. a lot of people hunkered down in place and rode out the storm. fortunately, it looks like they kind of lucked out, especially in this community. >> i think you're right. i think there were a lot of people with ptsd from sandy. kathy, stand by for us. i want to move a little south of you to montauk. it seems like, ron, they're out of the woods. montauk was supposed to be it worse than it has, so far. what have you been seeing? >> reporter: in the days leading up to this somewhere along long island was thought to be the bull's-eye. we're starting literally at the point where the atlantic and long island sound come together, the further easterly point in new york. we kind of watched the storm go by. it was out there a few mi

sandy, the humidity quite low. sandy: absolutely, dan. another burst of offshore winds coming later on tonight, so hopefully that is not because some of those spot fires to jump. let me show you the conditions near the cache fire right now. 13% humidity. when gusting out of the north. red flag warning's remain up. the next round of wind will be gusty but not quite as strong as what we experienced last night into this morning, which was 50 mile-per-hour gusts. humidity will still be dry. record dry fuels. any fires that develop quickly spread. take a look at the air across our region. it is absolutely horrible. air quality is being impacted. notice it is orange there in concord. livermore in the red, which is unhealthy air quality. we do have an air quality advisory that has been extended through friday. conditions are not ideal. we are not out of danger just yet. ,: thank you, sandy. evacuation orders are expanding in the area around the caldera fire. people living along sections of highway 50 heading up to lake tahoe, including the commu

warning this could be as devastating as superstorm sandy in 2012. >> superstorm sandy, which we all remember, was also a category 1 when it hit new york state so just to put it into perspective how serious this is. >> janessa webb and bill karins. what's the latest on the path of the storm? >> breaking news from the hurricane center. it is now a tropical storm. henri is no longer a hurricane and we will not have a hurricane making landfall in new england for the first time since 1991. that was hurricane bob. this will make landfall as a tropical storm. now the effects are pretty much going to be the same, just more for the history books. 75 miles per hour versus 70 miles per hour, you're not going to notice much of a difference. again, it is a tropical stofrmt and as far as what the comments you just heard there from governor cuomo of new york, this isn't even comparable to hurricane sandy. hurricane sandy was an entirely different beast. a huge, immense storm. this is not that storm. this is going to be a tropical storm. it will have impacts with wind at land fall. tropical storm henri. 65

given the background of hurricane sandy, _ impact?t? given the background of hurricane sandy, people are - impact? given the background of. hurricane sandy, people are taking anything inside. none of these chairs should be out here, which is what most people will do so things don't fly to their property. if they could also probably board up the property, that would help too. the other problem for the governor in the entire state is people who remain and then get stuck, and they have to come and rescue them. that's why they are appealing — and of course, the governor has asked people to stock up on groceries, which is probably why some people have started doing so. there's been a lot of rain the last few days, so the ground is already saturated — that'll mean more trees falling and a lot of power outages, which could take a few days to be restored. it’s take a few days to be restored. it's about 6:15pm in the evening they are, and have you had a rough prediction of when the hurricane is expected to hit? we prediction of when the hurric

i heard storm talk about the impact of sandy in 2010. we got crushed here in west early rhode island. i'm down at the police department, with our police department, public safety, state police. so we're in the middle of the eye of the storm, but we do have our emergency management people that have done this before. i have as a mayor and now governor, new governor as of march. so we're ready. yesterday we did talk to the president, president biden, with governors from connecticut, new york, massachusetts, new jersey, and we did have a state of emergency signed by the president yesterday. he committed support during the storm and also on a quick recovery that we're hopefully going to work as hard as we can to get everybody back. we're facing 90-degree weather on tuesday and wednesday and thursday. if we're without electricity, you know what that means in terms of the health and the economy relative to our seniors and others in our business community. >> i'm sure that preemptive state of emergency is very helpful. it does seem to be imminen

the eastern seaboard when it came to hurricane sandy. i was on the ground covering that myself. >> yes. >> how do you compare this storm to that? >> okay. so it is different, and i completely know that feeling. you know, it is that feeling that you can't shake still. i was 7-months preg nantd during that storm and covering that storm. the difference with that storm is there was a big area of high pressure. it was just like you were driving on the road and you have a stop. you know, you can't get past it. that's really what happened. so this storm is going to move. it is going to move but it is going to move slowly. think of it more like irene with flooding rains. >> got it. >> i think that will be the story we remember years down the way when we think of henri, we will think of the flooding rains on the heels of fred. i know a lot of people are thinking of sandy, it is hard not to, but it is a different scenario. >> you are not necessarily expecting as much devastation as we got from sandy, is that accurate? >> right. >> and the assessme

she won at superstorm sandy, she wins every time. but we will be doing everything that we can do to be prepared. we have briefed all the local governments, we've briefed the assembly, we've briefed the senate, we briefed the lieutenant governor on the situation, we briefed the white house, we are briefing federal officials, speaking with county executives. county executive, suffolk county executive has urged a voluntary evacuation of fireeye land. i think that is very important. i second the county executive's call. i think he's exactly right. if you are on fireisland and you do not evacuate now, i think you are putting yourself in a position of danger, and you're doing that needlessly. so, please 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 yo

during super storm sandy i was where brian is. south street seaport, the tide came in so fast, the surge was so huge and exaggerated, that we got trapped down there. i was with a famous weather man named sam champion, and we were stranded on a little island of land in southern manhattan on the western tip of manhattan for 16 hours before the waters receded and we could get out. we wound up doing "good morning america" from right there. brian, thank you very much. now, i want to go up into boston. they have had floodwaters testing the harbor there. evan, what's the latest from where you are? >> reporter: chris, here at the long wharf where we've been all morning, the water has not come over yet. as you can see, it would really like to. this is a part of the city that does flood in these big storms. a few years ago there was feet of water where i'm standing right now. this storm hasn't done that. people have prepared for a lot of things, not happening in boston fortunately. the wind is starting to pick up. you can see it on me, you

sandy cortez was not even inside the capitol on january 6th. grammar on the same page. occasionally sandy cortez tells us about her lived experience on january 6th.ar during a recent special, sandy cortez -- he explained she wasn't being afraid of being murdered by ashley babbitt, she's also worried about being raped. >> there's a lot of centralizing of that violence. and i didn't think that i was just going to be killed. i thought other things are going to happen to me. >> you tell me that you didn't believe that -- he believed you going to be a raped. >> i was. >> tucker: get a therapist, honey. this is crazy. these people were mad because the election wasn't fair. you may disagree about that but it wasn't about you, surprise, surprise! "i'm afraid i was going to be raped by ashley babbitt" imagine this was said by republican about blm rioters -- across the country, kenosha, green bay, wisconsin! what would happen if some karen said that? sexualized violence... could you imagine? you could go to jail for that. but sandy cortez could say that

think super storm sandy. that was a category one, this is a category one.g island and sent us this update. we have been seeing an especially high tide, much of the beach behind me disappears underwater. these waves have been pounding for hours. of course, this part of where i am standing in the south of long island is a barrier island called fire island and it has seen a lot of damage from hurricane sandy, where the governor was just referring to it in 2012, so a lot of residents here were quite worried about storm surge and many of them evacuated. but that storm surge has not arrived, at least to the point of endangering the houses. nevertheless, we have been seeing an incredible amount of rain, notjust here. but in new york city. central parkjust recorded its wettest hours in recorded history, nearly 4.5 inches in close to two hours. so flooding is very much still a worry and of course the centre of the storm is moving towards rhode island. let's go back to afghanistan now — and we will bring you that address from the white house as soon as president bide

during sandy, there was far greater inland flooding that had been anticipated.any people that should have had coverage did not and many people did have coverage and were denied claims. there were a number of instances where adjusters came out, found reports -- those reports were subsequently doctored before they were submitted to fema or adjusted reports were submitted without site visits to the property, so there was a good amount of fraud and a good amount of the public unaware of what was being claimed on their behalf in addition to claims also being denied. that was some of the genesis behind the response in the claim sector trying to ensure that there is a higher standard and a higher level of responsibility in the case process. senator rounds: i appreciate that. i think this goes to some of the challenges we have here. i don't understand why this would occur. i understand the underwriting of the losses goes back into the program, so why would someone try to manipulate or change a claim for dr. a report? what was the basis of that happening? ms. kahan stern

sandy: it will be a day before we start to see a real improvement, that we are starting to see signs of that right now. you will see it is still smoky. the breeze is really blowing, blue skies showing up. gusts to 23 in oakland. our air quality up across most spots in the bay area above 150. you will notice that some of the smoke and haze gets pushed as we head towards tomorrow evening to the east. we do have an air quality advisory that has been extended through tomorrow for the wildfire smoke. moderate air quality expected the next four days. >> looks good. water fire smoke -- wildfire smoke is blanketing the bay area for the next several days, causing people to take notice and precautions. we are live in some moma county -- in sonoma county with details . how is the air quality where you are? reporter: actually, the air is improving ever so slightly. you could barely see mount a few hours ago. now it is slightly visible on the horizon. but this weekend, people once again seeing and smelling smoke. >> we have been locked in with the covid. now we are locked in with the air. reporte

sandy: i don't think so. just her tomorrow. it's a down sloping wind which continues to push the smoke into the bay area. mount st. helena. not a strong wind but just enough to create those smoke-filled skies at sunset tonight. tomorrow, we have a spare the air alert again. or air quality expected. some signs of improvement. saturday and sunday, you will notice that we have good air quality. moderate air quality across most of the bay area right now. the wind will be going from north northeast tomorrow afternoon to morava west northwest wind on sunday which will help to sweep that smoke out of the bay area. i will be back with a look at the smoke forecast, coming up. ama: thank you. you can track the air quality any time with our real-time weather tracker. the tool is live now. download it wherever you stream. larry: making their case for the top job in california. three republicans looking to replace governor newsom take the debate stage. >> are there any actions warrant this? ama: an exclusive one-on-one interview with abc 7

>> well, hurricane sandy comes to mind.cane sandy and henri are similar in that they both hit higher latitude regions where people have less experience with hurricanes. it can affect higher lat tutor regions. the low intensity, the storms can still cause intense damage. so that we have to understand the storm changes not only in the track intensity frequency, but also size to be better prepared. >> ming lin, thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >>> and just ahead here on cnn newsroom, singapore welcomes the u.s. vice president with pomp and pageantry. we will tell you about the talks behind closed doors in a live report after this short break. e exactly the same,... think again. this is always ultra thins reinvented with the new always triple protection system. this pad wicks gushes 50% faster... absorbs even more so you can feel dry... and, locks odors in. re-think your pad for up to 100% leak-free and odor-free comfort... with the totally reinvented always ultra thins. this is always like neve

let's check in with sandy patel. sandy: it's not going to get better tomorrow either. let me show you a smoky view from zephyr cove in the lake tahoe area. the fire is really burning so intensely, sending a plume of thick smoke right over tahoe. right now, the air quality is factually -- fluctuating from hazardous all the way to unhealthy in the reno area. still hard to breathe up there. want to show you where the wind direction and smoke is going. the west-southwest wind is going to keep that smoky air right over tahoe with the heaviest smoke there tomorrow night. a switch in the wind direction will begin to push some of that smoke southeastward, but you will notice it is still pretty heavy across the south lake tahoe area. i will be back to show you what are smoke forecast looks like and our air quality in just if units. ama: we will check back with you. the wildfire smoke in your lake tahoe is driving many residents and tourists to flee the area. j.r. stone is in san francisco, where visitors are enjoying the pressure. -- the fresh air. >> it just looked like armage

it's kind of similar to that band as to what sandy did. sandy is a different beast. it was much, much larger. sandy was a huge immense storm. this may be the same intensity but size wise no comparison. this storm will have its own problems. you notice that the winds will quickly die off, by the time we get to monday morning, wind damage is done. the wind damage of the storm is as three go throughout sunday. it's already getting close to long island, so we are talking noon landfall somewhere around islip. and then the right dirty side could go through new haven. that would be the second landfall and then the storm will curve and band around hartford area. these squiggly lines, it's interesting. the black line is the new forecast from the hurricane center. for the first time in a while, a lot of models are actually to the right of the hurricane center. that green line still does go through new york city. so it will be interesting to see if they stay on course, for the central portions of long island, or shift to the right. but if you are even from buzzers bay all the w

so hurricane henri no doubt bringing back uncomfortable memories of hurricane sandy.ng flooding in itself but as well as that, coastal communities will be watching out for a storm surge. that could be around 3— five foot high, bringing inundation to coastal communities. this is bbc news, our main headlines: the united states has asked its citizens to avoid going to kabul airport where thousands of people continue to gather in an attempt to flee afghanistan. let's stay with our main story now. while thousands of people try to board flights out of afghanistan, many afghan refugees are also flocking to neighbouring countries, and a key destination is iran. while iran has welcomed the us exit, their relationship with the taliban is a strategic — but complicated one. with me to discuss is the bbc�*s azadeh moshiri. a very strategic relationship. with an idea what historically the relationship between iran and the taliban has been. it is and the taliban has been. it is complicated — and the taliban has been. it 3 complicated because afghanistan is so important to iran, both

. >> i referenced sandy, hurricane sandy in the column and it's really interesting because cuomo andive persona were beloved and had such great moments during sandy because voters like a certain amount of paternalism in a politician and they love politicians who in a moment of crisis can really lay it on and say i'm the guy here take care of business, and they will really look over a lot request a politician can seem really authoritative and tough. it's an addiction, i think, among americans. we've seen it beyond certainly cuomo with chris christie and many other politicians. >> congressman bowman, i want you to stick around to ask you what the hole situation tells us not about one guy, but about new york state politics. ready to dismiss it as a real thing. can they be separated from the fear driven pay for play politics in your state and my state? >> i'm new to politics and my experience here based on the new progressive coalition we were able to build to help us win and now help us govern, i've never viewed politics, especially the way i try to lead, in that way. but i don't think

we were worried about another superstorm sandy. the hurricane that was a category one that hit new jersey and bounced in new york. it had so much flood surge that came along with a tidal surge from a moon tide. here we were, again, seeing the track of henri coming and basically the same direction and a moon tide once again in the lunar cycle. that's why there was so much concern. but henri, if it's going to be remembered for something, it will be remembered for being confusing. it's been shifting the track, and as it came close, it bounced east. missed us in any real way. this morning it was pretty fr frisky out here at 5:00 in the morning when we were checking things out. since then it's been bands of rain. here's the problem. 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

she won at superstorm sandy, she wins every time.will be doing everything that we can do to be prepared. >> we plan and prepare for the worst and hope we never have to use those plans. it may be in this particular time that will be the case. >> we're prepared for what could be a tough storm. we've got the folks on the ground, ready to hit the ground running and do everything we can to keep you safe. >> the u.s. president, joe biden, will be giving remarks and updates on the storm and also about afghanistan at 4:00 p.m. eastern time on sunday. cnn will, of course, carry that live. >>> last hour i spoke with lieutenant commander robert mitchell. literally, he was flying through hurricane henri, aboard one of the hurricane hunter aircraft. here's how he's tracking the storm. >> every time we go into the storm, we're really just trying to measure the winds and the effects of the different dynamics of the storm as it's trying to grow and progress along its forecast track. what we try to do is provide information on the wind speed, the rai

so hurricane henri no doubt bringing back some uncomfortable memories from hurricane sandy that hit thethat's likely to cause some flooding in itself, but as well as that, coastal communities will be watching out for a storm surge. that could be around 3—5—foot high — a metre or a metre—and—a—half, bringing inundation to some coastal communities. let's get some of the day's other news. israel has carried out air strikes in gaza in response to what it calls riots instigated by the hamas organisation. the israeli army said its aircraft hit four hamas weapons and storage manufacturing sites. palestinian media spoke of explosions near a power station and close to a refugee camp in central gaza. the air strikes followed a protest on the border, during which palestinian sources said israeli troops shot and wounded more than 20 palestinians. the trial of the r&b singer r kelly, who's accused of sexually abusing several women, has heard claims by his former tour manager, that he bribed a government worker to obtain a fake id to marry the singer aaliyah, who was underage. she was 15 at the time.

we've been through this before with storms like super storm sandy.out here, particularly since covid, out to the hamptons, out on the east end, and so there are a lot of people who haven't experienced, haven't been through sandy and some of the other storms and see the way that mother nature can really pound the atlantic ocean, pounding the coastline and what it can do. so we're continuing to really urge people this is a sunday, it's a family day, stay home. this is a good day to spend time with the pamly -- family and allow the national gander first respond -- national guard and first responders to respond as needed. benjamin: do you feel suffolk county is better suited to handle this kind of a storm than it used to be? >> the thing that happens when you go through storms like this and you never want to, you never want to experience them, but what they do bring is the kind of experience that prepares you for future events that you can't get anywhere else and we have those relationships, those experiences that people have gone through and every storm

sandy, kicking it off with you.it a head scratcher to know that the federal reserve is signaling one thing and the 10 year continues to show these incredible moves hitting 1.16% yesterday. what's going on with interest rates and where do you think they're going, sandy? >> yeah, i mean, i think interest rates ultimately go higher but, yeah, the bond market's very much smarter than the stock market, so to hit 1.13% that's telling you everything you need to know. growth is going to be slower. we're going to get job numbers out tomorrow. while they continue to grind higher and probably will do that, it's going to be tough sledding. i think with the rates where they are, it's a tough spot for us all to be in. maria: so it's great, you just pointed to my whole point. i mean, the treasury now at 1.18%. is this telling us that growth is slowing down in the future, sandy, that we've already seen peak growth? is that what the bond market is telling us? >> it really is. and we got all sorts of factors, but certainly the bigest

think super storm sandy, that was a category 1. this is a category 1.t know and as i sit here today, i cannot tell you whether or not the damage is going to be less or more than super storm sandy. it depends on how fast the storm moves and where it goes and we will be working around the clock and we will do everything that we need to do to be prepared. as i said, this team has done this numerous times. we have more equipment than ever before. we have more personnel than ever before, but i can't -- i can't substitute for intelligent action by new yorkers and i understand the instinct of we are going to shelter in place, maybe the weather forecast is wrong. i don't want to leave my home, i can't tell you how many people i have in the middle of a storm helped out of a house carrying everything on their back through flood waters with their children, putting them into boats in dangerous situations and people saying to me, i should have left yesterday. i should have left yesterday. please, please don't make that mistake. we will update you constantly and if t

she won at superstorm sandy. she wins every time. but we will be doing everything that we can do to be prepared. >> we plan and prepare for the worst and hope we never have to use those plans. and maybe that in this particular time that will be the case. >> we're prepared for what could be -- um -- a tough storm. we got the folks on the ground, ready to hit the ground running and do everything we can to keep you safe. >>> u.s. president joe biden will actually give remarks and updates on the storm and about afghanistan at about 4:00 p.m. eastern time sunday. cnn -- cnn will, of course, carry it live. >>> i want to bring in lieutenant commander robert mitchell. he is currently flying over hurricane henri aboard one of the hurricane-hunter aircraft. it's great and unusual and -- and a privilege to get you. i know it takes a while for data to be processed but what are you learning about this storm? what is it like up there? >> well, every time we go into the storm, we are really just trying to measure the -- the winds and the effects of

sandy was a huge immense size-wise storm. maybe the same intensity but size-wise, no comparison this. storm will have its own problems though. let's go in closer. you notice the winds will quickly die off. by the time we get to monday morning, wind damage is pretty much done. the wind damage portion of the storm as we go throughout sunday, notice at 8:00 a.m., getting close to the southern coast of long island, talking 10:00 to noon landfall around eye slip. and then it could go through new hichb, that would be the second landfall after crossing the sound and the storm will curve and bend around the hartford area. as brian mentioned we have been watching these squiggly lines and it is interesting, the lack line is the new forecast from the hurricane center. for the first time in a while, a lot of the new computer models are actually to the right of the hurricane center. that green line still does go through new york city. we will be interested to see if they stay on course in the central portions of long island or shift to th

of course, sandy. every storm is different. this will not be a sandy by any stretch of the means. it is about the quarter of the size. it is moving faster than sandy was. all good news here. but storm surge being the potential threat, you ever wondered how these coastal cities actually protect themselves from it? check this out. this is incredible. stumbled across this yesterday. if you visited here, you've probably seen it. this is the fox point hurricane barrier. it was built in 1966. it is designed to protect the city of providence, rhode island, from 20 feet of storm surge. that is like protecting the city from a 1 in 500 year storm surge event. the three gates lower in about 30 minuteminutes. they're over 50 tons. the waves get broken by the curved look and protect the city from the oncoming storm and push of water from storms like henri. back to you. >> derek van dam, take good care of yourself. thank you. >>> listen, we're following new developments in the chaos and the desperation in afghanistan this morning. the pentagon is holding a news briefing on the situation. it's s

i'm no longer so if you don't lead high wind, sandy, 10 dollar to tell you speak with us, you need to assume patricia when you get a chance will phone chunk a port on that at the silly, michelle hello. sure, i won't miss at all. are all due to the sound fellow ma roger her some other tall father? no, no, no i didn't . you know, i don't know now no kind of communist warden or did you want. 2 to drill down in that, trying to develop the extra words they took off and all part of our actually our dialogue to naval could help them create an impression me to take long listen that when in general japan, 50 that joy, that i all jackie to matching and when you do not need to talk to me, we could not join me or what you want me to contact me and i should in time to meet with you. you may be interested how the pin sugar would be marching me being the only thing something you'd be any idea of forcing you to here you got to talk to me once more. your meeting got to mail in question. it should have joel sean sheila, ny enter. your ticket here, you can just click on the full mention issue jo, how sh

when hurricane sandy came true.tes were damaged. >> half a million while the last time the region had a direct hit from the hurricane was exactly 30 years ago this thursday when bob category 2 storm killed 17 people. we do have dave spahr over there in the weather center a look at what this hurricanes actually looking like right now tracking it for dave, what's the pasco looking like right now. well, no. it looks like it will be had for long island and also for new england. it was it looks like it is just barely a hurricane. max winds at 75 category one. looks like it won't be get beyond that. >> but certainly heavy rains that we mentioned sandy earlier back and i think 2012 that was combining with another system which this is not. that's perhaps good news. the other piece of good news is the systems on the coast will send this or the continent. we'll send this back out to sea. so watching that going forward stopping it right here. here's the hurricane warning for long island. also connecticut. you can see max winds

sandy cortez thought she would be raped despite the fact she wasn't there. but strangely, cortez so sensitive ant her own safety is not concerned about sending huge and unknown numbers of refugees in your neighborhood. she's saying we have seen what afghan migration has done to europe and she approves it. she wants more. >> in order to carry out and in order to make good on the role that we have played in this violence, we have a responsibility to make a home for the people whose lived have been up ended by interventionists u.s. foreign policy. as a result, i'm proud to have a co written a letter with barbara lee to urge the biden administration to at least set their refugee quotas to make it no less than 200,000. >> so the macroquestion is what do silly children like that have any power whatsoever in this country? why should some girl from b.u. that knows nothing has never den anything in her life be in charge of the way your country looks going forward for the next 100 years? who knows. that's democracy as we practice it. listen carefully what she's saying

but, i mean, if anything is related to tropical storm irene or superstorm sandy, we're talking about at least that 70 to 75,000 people without customers without power. we're asking everyone to charge up tablets and charge up their phones and make sure you have your battery operated radio and flashlights and the like. but in the meantime, if you need to evacuate, we have sites set up so that they could come charge up their items and devices. you know, you talk about vulnerable population, ken. the concern for us is getting those folks to these machines. again they're prepared and hopefully the storm as we look at it will hit us pretty quickly and get out of here pretty quickly. >> yeah. let's help so. certainly let's hope you are spared the worse of the is. scott applebee, thank you for your time. appreciate it. >> thank you, sir, stay safe. >>> severe weather is also causing devastation in middle tennessee. at least ten people have died in severe flash flooding in humphries county about 60 miles west of nashville. the sheriff office told cnn affiliate two of the bodies they recovered
