is there anyone like that there, or are people leaving scituate?rter: absolutely jake, there are people who have decided to stay here in their homes. some of them coulddo have power, they have heat. they have stocked up provisions. they say they've weathered storms before and even if this is bad, they don't want to leave. national guard was coming through helping people get out if they wanted to. police have been coming up through the streets in high axle vehicles reminding and warning people if they want to get out they have to do it before high tide, which jake is exactly what we're going to do. we're going to peel back now as this water continues to breach this wall so we requestcan get a little further inland. >> it looks like the wind is hitting you pretty hard alexandra. as you get out of there, just describe for us if you could, is it tossing you around? >> reporter: yeah. i'm bracing myself about as well as i possibly can here. i've been knocked around if i try to move. a little bit earlier the reading was that the temperature out here was

as you say, that warning is all along the coast of massachusetts, not just there in scituate scituate. stand by. another casualty of the storm, this coastal surge we've been talking about, the major seawalls in various areas, including in marshfield, massachusetts. brian todd is traveling in the area right now. brian, what are you seeing about this damaged seawall and its impact? >> reporter: wolf we're heading to marshfield massachusetts, right now. we've been on the phone with officials there. the state representative, i talked to a short time ago and fire officials there. what we know now is that a seawall breached early this morning in marshfield, massachusetts. it caused significant flooding and the state rep just told me at least 11 homes suffered significant damage in marshfield, massachusetts. they had to do evacuations with the help of the national guard. the fire department was on hand to do those evacuations, to rescue people who are stranded from their homes. they don't have a head count on how many people have been in need of rescue throughout the day or how many people t

we'll take you to scituate coastal massachusetts.ew york definitely feeling some of the brunt of this especially when you head all the way down in long island, all the way out to that eastern tip of montauk. that is where ana cabrera is. she was up very late last night riding this out. she's back with us this afternoon. ana, what does it look like right now? >> well strangely, the weather seems to be deteriorating a little bit from what we saw earlier today. a little more reminiscent of what i experienced in the midnight hours. we're here along the beach. we were watching the coastal flooding possibilities. that seems to have passed for now, that threat. high tide here was a couple of hours ago. not exactly a day that you want to walk along the beach. we're still seeing the pounding snow wind gusts in the 20-mile-per-hour -- steady that is around 20 miles per hour but gusts around 30. there are people who are taking advantage of those winds and the higher water and big waves. in fact we talked to a gentleman who is a surf photographe

in some areas of scituate, the power has been turned off. in some places people are experiencing power outages. on this block where i am people are telling me they still have power, at least in one house where i spoke to homeowners. in the another house, i can see an outdoor light on. no one should take for granted the idea that they're safe if they see a downed power line. it's something you've really god to be careful about. you just do not know at this point who has power and where there could be live wires. we've seen police out here the national guard has been out here. they've been in these high axle vehicles roaming around. they can't be everywhere at once. they're trying to get people out who need to get out. they're trying to assess which situations could be the most dangerous right now and what needs to be dealt with. people are told to either get or stay inside not be walking around on streets where you have things like downed power lines. and this is just a very small sort of snapshot of what people out here in scituate are exper

boston we saw some of those winds there in scituate.elow 60 miles per hour for the first time in half a dozen hours. finally by tomorrow morning, even boston down to 16. that's half of where you are now. that will feel pretty good. if you're without power, it doesn't feel good because with the cold wind blowing right through the house and the heater just can't come on without power. so 8:00 still snowing. it's those arms coming back on shore from the low there. by 10:00, still snowing although getting close to the edge and finally then moving offshore. that's six hours away before the snow starts for good. wolf? >> it could dump a lot of snow in the next six hours. chad thank you. the governor of rhode island is warning people about the snowy roads. the governor is joining us right now. what are you expecting in rhode island? what's your biggest concern? >> good evening, wolf. my biggest concern is people going out and it's not safe to go out. i have extended air travel ban until 8:00 tonight and i'm urging rhode islanders not to go out

nick reporting from scituate in massachusetts. nick. >> reporter: it's coastal communities like this one in massachusetts, scituate that bore the brunt of that severe weather system that moved through massachusetts. the bad news for this community is that they may not be out of it just yet. a coastal flood advisory is still in effect for scituate until 7:00 a.m. and high tide happening between 5:00 a.m. -- 4:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. so there still could be more problems to come. but for now it seems that they may be in the clear. less than 24 hours ago, that wasn't the case. so much so that the national guard sent two teams in here to rescue some families families that chose not to evacuate despite the guidance of the massachusetts governor. some people here in this community, they've been through things like this before. so they thought they'd stick it out. that simply wasn't the case. some people had to be picked up by the national guard. for now we understand the majority of residents in this area have been evacuated and are stayi

that is whdh reporter from scituate massachusetts. back outside to 30 rock. richard lui has been standing out in it. looks like the snow continues to come down. earlier, as we were coming in to work i don't know couple of hours ago, there was nothing going on really but boy ha how things have changed. >> we will have fingers of the storm that will pick up and go down a this moment as we talked about at the top of the show here, this is a time they were so concerned right after midnight. talk about the wind in massachusetts n scituate. i want to get to the latest from boston. we are joined on the phone by renee fielding the director of emergency management for the city of boston. renee, tell us where you are at and what's the latest information you are getting there in the office of emergency management? >> sure. thank you for having me. we're at the boston emergency operation center in boston with all of our city departments here monitoring what's going on outside. about right now we probably have three to four inches on the ground. we are getting ready for t

this was the scene in scituate massachusetts tonight. take a listen. >> some have been encouraged to leave. scituate is an example of that. there's the 19's tim caputo. i'm hearing winds are gusting at 40 miles an hour as we speak and that's why they took the unusual step of intentionally shutting off power to parts of the town. what's the latest? >> yeah, you could just see it from my hood here. i decided to put it up because i was tired of getting whipped in the face from all the sand coming off the beach there. but this is not just strong winds. they're sustained winds. you almost have to brace yourself and lean into it a little bit. they have been strong winds for several hours out here in scituate. having problems in the past especially during winter storms, a lot of people doing a lot of preparation. you see individual homeowners certainly taking the extra steps to protect windows and doors. but the town itself making an unprecedented move this year. there had been issues in the past of fires on some of these oceanfront homes. and

it's in scituate where we saw some of the nastiest wind about 60 miles per hour more than two feet of snow. just behind me here is the atlantic ocean. and that caused a problem yesterday morning when flooding hit this community. this is a coastal alal community. so they're used to seeing major flooding in this area but even residents that we've spoken to throughout the day in the past couple of days that we've been sear say that it's remarkable what they saw here over the course of the last 24 to 48 hours. so much so that the national guard sent two teams in here to rescue a handful of families to evacuate these people from this area. we understand that some families are now staying at a nearby holiday inn here a hotel, to house themselves as the power gets restored in this area. they also did something preemptive to try to avoid further problems. this is a community that back in march of 2012 had some fires. and it's a problem that has come along with some of those severe weather systems that have come through this area. so because of that the local fire chief asked the national grid

we've got nick valencia in hard-hit scituate with the latest. what are they waking up to this morning? >> here in this coastal community in massachusetts, one of the hardest-hit, the seawall was breached leaving the road i'm standing on right now, completely under water. we're at the peak of high tide here. right after 6:00 in scituate that's the concern that the same could happen today as it did yesterday, i'll show you the damage that it left behind. this is part of the sea wall that's supposed to protect the water from coming over here and breaching this community. perhaps one of the most impressive images here if you can believe it just off to my side here. this house, completely frozen that's a thick sheet of ice all over that house. and that's just a snapshot of what many of the homes here in this community look like this morning. the bad news? this area under an advisory or flood advisory until 7:00 a.m. and that wind also is very brutal right now. it's about 15 degrees, but it feels more like 1. chris? >> it does especially for you off t

we spoke to the fire department here in scituate.hey were getting a lot of calls from people who needed help getting out of their houses. police were also coming through here in the high axle vehicles to see who was in need of help and who needed to get out. certainly a lot of people on this street anderson who decided they were going to stick it out. they had seen flooding before but this was more than they expected to see today. >> i also understand that officials cut power to a lot of neighborhoods to prevent fires, right? >> yeah. that goes back to the history of a problem here in this community. back in 2012 march of 2012 they had a big storm, high winds carried flames through four houses right on the beach. the houses burned to the ground because of the storm. firefighters were not able to get there to really salvage those places. the step was taken yesterday, the town decided preemptively let's just cut the power to a number of the communities here to minimize the risk of an electrical fire and minimize the risk of firefighter

winds and high tide. >> this is the moment people in scituate have been bracing for.coming up over the sea wall. >> reporter: a whole neighborhood suddenly under water. >> the water was moving so fast that we had waves from the backyard. >> have you ever seen something like that waves actually in the backyard? >> never. >> reporter: the brutal storm buried maine, connecticut and long island. in boston snow totals missed the city's record mark. 24.6 inches made it the sixth snowiest storm in the city's history. >> this one is pretty brutal. i mean the cars behind you, you can't even see the tops of them. >> reporter: with more snow in the forecast they're trying to clean up quickly. the city's iconic marathon finish line cleared off by a neighborhood bartender. in scituate chris carroll is trying to keep things in perspective. >> i am so grateful that we weren't here. >> reporter: because some storms break sea walls, but they rarely break spirits. >> i am breathing and going one minute at a time. it's -- i can't think about what is coming tomorrow. >> all right. if you

officials are expecting widespread power outages, the town of scituate, an hour away from boston decided to cut power ahead of the storm. you know why, because of fire. officials are worried it would cause fires along the coast and emergency coasts wouldn't be able to fight those fires during high tide. the national weather service saying that the storm could unleash 20-foot waves. scituate has lost homes to previous fires earlier. >>> and minimum flight activity expected in new york's other airports, 7,000 flights have been delayed or cancelled outright. and that includes some of those headed to the bay area. 85 flights have been cancelled this morning. and it amounts to 36 departures and 49 arrivals. service to new york, philadelphia, boston, newark are all impacted. we're still waiting to hear about cancellation, at oakland. but we certainly know that a lot of folks travel from here. this could impact a lot of people. >>> let's take another live look outside. this time at plymouth, massachusetts, where whiteout conditions look like. lucky not to be driving there. >>> coming up in seve

and so people in traditional places that flood, places like scituate and plymouth are watching their property right now because this storm could bring some storm surge and some coastal flooding. >> very good point about the high tide. chris, thank you, sir. much appreciated it. chris pollone, nbc in boston for us. want to check in with john yang from portland maine. as we can see there, the conditions look worse than what we saw with chris' shot. >> reporter: that's right, thomas. it is really picking up here. we're in the building phase here, the snow is coming down much heavier than it has been in the past couple of hours. the winds are picking up. there is not much snow on the ground. less than half an inch. officially a tenth of an inch has fallen since midnight. i can tell you, there is a time and temperature sign that is over the street. it is elevated over the street. it is about two blocks behind me. when we came out here about three hours ago, i was able to see it clearly and we're watching the temperatures drop. but within the past hour, the snow has started coming down so

in scituate massachusetts, high winds prompting a protective power outage. the concern, high winds could down power lines causing uncontrollable fires. >> we are the first first responders. if we don't have the roadway systems cleared, then fire trucks, police trucks, ambulances cannot get through. >> reporter: and here in new york, actually you can see that we're in a moment of calm right here, and actually what's sort of interesting about this moment of calm is that here in new york city as much as we're being pounded, they're getting hit much harder further north, however, i will say at this time it's not too bad outside, though i am wearing five layers of clothing. reena, t.j. >> it helps, lana. >> certainly helps. >> lana zak for us in new york's central park. thank you so much. >>> if you're in the northeast you can also forget about traveling by air. >> the region's five major airports, jfk, laguardia, newark, philly and boston all but shut down this morning. more than 4,000 arrivals and departures have been canceled. another 500 delayed. abc's susan

places like the one i'm in now, scituate. it's impressive what the storm was able to do over the course of the last 48 hours. we just took a trip down there behind me to the atlantic ocean. that's -- the community kisses the atlantic ocean, bordered by a harbor as well. this community no stranger to these major flooding events. some people even though the massachusetts governor was out front and center over the weekend, saying this storm was on its way. some in the community decided not to pay attention to that. the result was that the national guard had to send two teams here into this community to rescue a handful of families. there were some power outage as well. but if you look around me now, this porch light's on for instance. you, sort of see the scale. [ inaudible ] >> we've been having problems with our communications with nick valencia in scituate. as he was pointing out, there have been problems with the water, it had broken the sea wall. it had been a situation where the national guard had to come in and evacuate s
