and how was the idea for the beach chalet done? and in their early 20's at the time and this is lara speaking "i recently graduated from the beach chalet and came up for lease and we lived in the sunset and he had his eye on the spot for his dream restaurant. we were home brewing and decided brewing would be the perfect operation. he wrote the business plan for his final assignment at school and since i was a new mom i did leg work and literally before the web and my research was doesn't on the beach and checking with surfers and what their favorite foods were. that is from laura's writing and i want to thousands of people go there. i think as the giants win the world series there were be people at the park and beach chalet too and laura is a tremendous leader in the ocean beach revitalization effort. she serves on spurs, ocean beach master plan with me and supervisor chu and a tremendous activists to make sure that we have a sustainable future about everything and it's her dream and vision for businesses giving back to the stay and

waves here at the beach covered the beach. they are up to the sand dunes.we are just getting started. the problem is the geography. we are far north of ocean city. maryland beach down there. if the storm passes over new jersey as expected we are closer to it. they are expecting significant surge when the storm comes through tomorrow night. it is starting to flood. governor here ordered evacuation of this area. all the businesses near the beach have been ordered to close. that happened at 6:00. a lot of businesses spent the day getting ready for that to happen. before the people evacuated a lot of them wanted to come down and get one last look. >> angry ocean amazingly being braved by a couple of boogie borders not scaring everyone away yet. >> this isn't something you see every day. this is history. >> are you kidding me? this is like something i always wanted to since i was little. >> reporter: news release from state officials in delaware said they expect gail force winds in the evening. i think they have arrived early. many of the businesss along and nea

stay off the beaches, stay out of the water. if you're in port, get off your boat and get to higher ground. again, really simple evacuation to heed and it's actually an easy way to safe using common sense. >> jen carfagno is with the weather channel. she has been watching the tsunami, was getting us updated on the earthquake that took place earlier tonight, also watching hurricane sandy as it moves along the eastern s seaboard. and we're watching this massive, massive storm system kind of push north and, jen, if you can stay with us we're going to get an update on what exactly hurricane sandy is doing. but we're going to take a quick break here. i'm veronica de la cruz in the msnbc newsroom, tracking a lot of different weather events from hurricane sandy and the tsunami warnings in hawaii. there are ons that make kids happy. and even fewer that make moms happy too. with wholesome noodles and bite sized chicken, nothing brings you together like chicken noodle soup from campbell's. it's amazing what soup can do. >>> i'm veronica d

one of the more spectacular beaches in the state. but because, you know, the surf was fairly robust today, you know, i'm not sure what -- what level this tsunami would have to rise to to really be very obvious to the naked eye. it is a very deep beach. but, yes. aside from the surf just calming down for a little while, i haven't seen anything terribly obvious that would point to sort of typical tsunami. >> about how many feet is your hotel from the surf? >> oh, it's right on the beach. it's right on the beach. my vantage point is eight stories above the beach. like i said earlier, it's a nice nearly full moon here. so visibility is pretty good, pretty optimal, in fact. but we wait and see if anything changes. >> what's the atmosphere as far as the guests and the vacationers there in your hotel regarding this situation there this evening? >> it's fairly calm and orderly. occasionally some -- a couple or two will pop their heads up on the roof here and take a gander at the beach. but, you know, everybody seems very relaxed and almost c

i'm actually, as i say, on the roof of the hotel overlooking the beach. there doesn't seem to be too much fear here. it's not -- these where i am, it's not a long trek to get out of the tsunami zone. and, you know, it's very well marked. the hawaiian authorities and civil defense here are well-prepared for this sort of thing. they deal with it somewhat frequently. and the protocol and the procedures they have in place are pretty well understood by the populace here. >> folks that have come to the hotel perhaps to stay at higher ground, do they know how long they may have to stay there as far as until they're given the all-clear? have you been told how this will play out? >> no, i'm not sure that they have. i'm not sure that anybody truly knows that, aside from it could last for several hours. but, you know, the hotel staff has been informative. they said the volume of the tsunami sirens will increase as the danger increases. thus far they haven't increased in the volume of the sirens. so far, at least, everybody seems to be fairly calm and prepared for wha

but we've already got some flooding on the bay side of rehoboth beach. we're already seeing some scattered outages. but it is only going to get worse which is really hard to believe when you take a look at some of the waves we're seeing out here. let me show you some of the erosion we're seeing already. the boardwalk is looking good. but down here, this type of erosion -- want to make sure some waves aren't coming. this type of erosion up and down rehoboth beach's boardwalk, it's everywhere. what's happening as these waves get bigger and bigger and closer to shore, they're coming in. they're coming through these walkways down to the beach and then they're all just -- the force of the water is just driving right underneath the boardwalk. at the moment it's holding strong but we are still several hours away from the height of this storm. this is going -- good gust there. this is going to continue at least until tomorrow, late morning. these are some of the strongest gusts i've felt thus far since we've been out here. kind of died off a little bit but now it

over 50 at the beaches. heavy rain this morning, and that the bill winds come in later this evening as the storm comes onshore. if there is somebody on the road, you should be, but -- shouldn't be, but sarah is tracking at right now. >> let's look at conditions at the moment, if you or when th -- if you are one of the people who have to travel in the next minutes. we have one in alberta and carson's run road -- at aberdeen and parsons run road. closures in effect in the city and in advance of the storm. they have shut down monument and pulaski highway. we also want to let you know that the wind restrictions are in effect at the bay bridge. let's give you a live view of traffic. we will see what is going on in the cameras. less people on the roads at the moment. we think we will probably see it less as conditions continue to get worse throughout the day and into the evening. at the keybridge, looking ok. we want to remind you that marc trains, no service, and no service for mta or amtrak. at b.w.i., if you wer

the damage is dramatic, far from the beach. street flooding, trees ripped from the ground. jack and sharon kathcart who have lived here for a long time, spent the day drying their clothes. >> i said i want to go, she said she wanted to stay, i said i have to stay if she does because she is my wife. >> reporter: but there were bright spots to see, like the one we saw as we passed by, bill mulens, who had a flag ceremony, and he feels lucky to be here. >> i always try to express it, what is it about the jersey shore? >> i don't think you can describe it, unless you live on the jersey shore, we're blessed to be on the ocean, a double edged sword, of course, but for all the good, absolutely worth the bad. >> reporter: those with roots here may have to put the roots deeper in the sand in the future. as we go to the break we'll show you some of the web information for those asking how to help, we'll come back with a final look around, right after this. this town to be destroyed. r to a little girl who lived through it, this is more t

notice the crevices, that is new beach erosion. ripping out the vegetation -- it is starting to flood around our hotel. it is like amount - a moat is forming around the elton. there are some beachfront properties. as i look down the shore line, there is just water everywhere, coming in from the ocean. the winds are starting to pick up as well. one thing i do want to reiterate. we are getting a lot of false reports on the social media about the ocean city. being damaged -- that is not true. the only confirmed report is the pier.city fishing that is damaged. police are urging people to stay inside. a lot of people are trying to get outside and see the damage for themselves. not as a thing to do right now. you need to keep the streets open for a martin c. personnel. the streets are starting to fill with water. -- an emergency personnel. the streets are starting to fill with water. act like our own reporter is going to go to our press conference at 10:00 a.m. to get ... update from the officials in ocean city. he will continue to bring

katie turr is on the beach in fairfield for us tonight. katie, good evening. >> reporter: and lester, the wind has been picking up pretty steadily off long island sound all evening. no rain as of yet has, expected until tomorrow. people here in fairfield are hearing take heed, they are -- not to mention the hundreds of thousands in this state who are without power for days on end. yes, there are mandatory evacuations here in fairfield and other low lying coastal areas but people said they would have left anyway. they could not stay here any longer. the mayor has mandatory evacuation for fairfield and along the coast. and lester, they are hoping here that they're only having to prepare for the worst not having to repair because of it. the good news is that people are heeding those mandatory evacuation orders. >> katikatie, and this storm is having a major effect on travel across much of the country. amtrak has cancelled service all across the northern corridor tomorrow. there is also closures at reagan national in d.c. >> reporter: this airp

it doesn't quite feel that bad right here at the moment along the beach. is what we expect in the coming hours it will get worse and worse. the fear here is all of this water you see rushing up the beach will go well past this fence on up to the boardwalk between where i am standing and where the camera is. and at that point you are potentially endangering a lot of thoels and businesses. that is why they have ordered mandatory evacuations for everyone along the coast about 3 or 4 miles in or so. that will effect 50,000 people here along this stretch. you start looking north of here to those massive population centers that is where sandy is going to have a huge impact. as bad as this rain is sandy may leave her mark as a snowstorm. >> that could be in west virginia. thank you very much louing lidor in rehoboth beach, dell wear. >> hurricane sand sees headi-- is heading to the ooets coast. hi there, jeff. >> you can see the boardwalk mainly a lot of sandbags and caution tape. anybody knows this is a great spot in the summer but hurricane shutters are already

, so a--for the beaches so a perfect beach day. 89 for mountain view. 90s through out the south valley, it is going to be hotter. the same for fairfield. i am sure that people are not going to complain in alameda, yome cool earl weather but it is going to be 74 at ocean beach. and 90s through out the north bay. so here is the certain day, great, nice, hot today: the fall is going to return and we are going to see a big dip in temps tomorrow. the cooling is going to continue into the weekend so we have some more comfortable weather on the way. fog early in the morning and then the sail thing for saturday. fog until noontime and we are looking for rd8jña 60s for the warmth locations: and then for sunday it is going to be cooler. so just keep that in mind. didn't mean for you to sheathe, let's check on weather here. >>> good morning to you, robin, well, traffic condition, i had hoped for thend of the back up, but the good news is is we are seeing more shuffling from i-80 as well and we have meter lights and slow conditions across the up r deck. driver time is 1st down--upper deck.

let's look at the beach. can see the waves, i know it is still dark but we're doing our best to light up the waves. they are huge, nine to 15 feet slamming against the shoreline and the beach is basically covered in water. the water is approaching that dune area on 32nd street. it is slamming into it, knocking down the little wooden fence and spilling into this walk away that you would walk on to get from the parking lot of the hilton to the beach. it is starting to flood next to the parking lot and we are seeing a pool of water near these beach front homes. some of them could see flooding inside the homes if they have lower levels. we continue to track this with the worst of the flooding happening this morning. i want to update the emergency officials in ocean city are meeting right now in a briefing and we won't get any more updates until 7:00 a.m. at that point they will give updates on what they plan to do through the storm. at this point there are evacuations in place for areas south of 17th street and i

right now we're on the boardwalk of rehoboth beach. you can see all of the businesses, candy kitchen, grotto piz disarks all the ie -- pizza, all the icons boarded up. there is nobody out on these streets. let's look at the surf. check out the waves coming in. huge waves, 14, 15 feet, getting higher as sandy comes closer and closer. the center of the storm still about 300 miles away from us. expected to make landfall in several hours just north of us on the southern new jersey coast. what we're hearing this morning is that -- the good news, i'll start with that. not a ton of power outages. just under 2,000 overnight. that's the good news. the bad news, lots of road closures, lots of flooding. route 1 into dewey beach, bethany beach totally closed. wiped out. here's actually some pretty big news we just found out from the governor of delaware. even though there's a mandatory evacuation order in effect which means if you decided to stay, law enforcement most likely will not be able to come and get you. some people are trapped about 15 mil

beautiful, the beach in li as dolphin. peeking his head out of the water.olphins poking their heads out of the dolphin and then -- time on the beach. >> whoa! >> the best time to fish, in the morning. everybody knows that. >> these dolphins are quite known for going to the beach to feed like that. >> a hunting technique for sure. corner the fish to where they have no water left to swim in that would be the shore, and then it's easy picking. >> pick them off as the dolphin comes towards you. >> well, i could just go to the grocery store. >> i don't think the people filming this were there to fish. i think they were enjoying the sunrise and happen to see dolphins who are fantastically brilliant hunters. they risked their lives for this. >> they're going, i'm outta here! >> i wish there were sound effects. >> save yourself! >> i think the humans are the only ones that think this is pretty amazing. the fish are like, dolphins are not cute. they just ate my sister. >>> you say basketball is a big man's game. wait until you get a load of mani love. >> on his knee

, get her off the beach. i don't know how many times i repeated it, get her off the beach. >> it was survival at that point, and i just needed to get to safety. >> paramedics put betsy on a gurney and are able to carry her away. with relative calm restored, the mavericks competition goes on as planned. >> there's some broken legs and broken boards, broken spirits, but the contest rolls on. >> and tyler finally gets the show he's been waiting for. >> i had never seen waves like that before, and to see these tiny, tiny people dropping in on just giant waves a half mile offshore was amazing. >> betsy forman is still a surfing enthusiast but coming face-to-face with a monster wave has given her a greater appreciation for the power of mother nature and has bonded her and dan in ways they could have never imagined. >> knowing how precious life is definitely brought dan and i together. i realized wow, in the blink of an eye, i could have been dead. i could have lost my fiance. >>> coming up -- a driver runs over eve

we're along the coast here on a road called matunek beach road along the ocean and historically this ea suffers from beach erosion, storm surge in big storms like this. where i'm standing, i'm on someone's front steps but as we widen out it's sitting in a pile of water here detached from wherever it was supposed to be before. i mean, here's a mobile home area behind me, they're just sitting in water. now, we're actually across the street from the beach and the ocean. what happens is the water, the storm surge is so strong the water just pushes across the road, floods this area across the street from the beach. if you were to drive up and down the main road you would just see piles and piles of sand as if it was like a snowstorm. the plows have come through. they've plowed the sand off the road because what happens is the storm surge is so strong, it literally pushes the sand and the beach right on to the road itself. so a lot of damage here, these homes are sitting in water. further up a beach that suffered beach erosion, sought cottages were washed away. several others damaged. beaut

the governor ordered a manned tear evacuation from the beach. everybody had to be out by 8p.m. came into the area, everyone was leaving. the police were always on the job. they've been here throughout the day. remarkably as i walked down here, you can see that the power is still on. that's the fascinating thing about this, the power is still on. they've not been hit so hard. in fact, many people here are saying except for the wind damage as well as perhaps some property damage that may be determined in the morning and even some flooding along the coastal areas, everything else is pretty good. they feel they dodged a major portion of sandy which is expected to make landfall here and did in sussex county. the center hit 65 miles away from us on cape may. i must tell you that w you were talking to governor o'malley earlier about maryland, 25 miles away from us. that historic pier we know in ocean city, maryland is wiped out. we're expecting winds all night long. we're going to do what the governor says, telling everybody to hunker down. greta, i have to tell you, the die hards, th

, what's your plan to get these ships off the beach? k they're still trying to come up with something. >>> one of the hardest things to eat and look cool while doing it is the cupcake. >> you eat it with a fork. pretty lame. >> this video we got from foodbeast.com showcases all the ways to not look cool eating a cupcake. the little nibble bite. >> bird bite. you got to commit. >> bottom first. definitely not cool. >> why do i need to look cool while eating a cupcake? a lot of weddings have cupcakes. lot of gals there. >> now behold the new right way. take the top of your cupcake, screw off a little bit of the bottom, put it on the top, and make a cupcake sandwich. i thought it might be fun for us to try. >> can we get some sanitizer up in here? >> oh, my god. >> thank you. see how much cleaner you're all going to feel now? i can't be the only one that goes in dirty. >> first, unpeel your wrapper. >> always a dainty procedure to begin with. >> screw off the bottom. then smush it on the top. >> i kind of see what you're going at here. >> l

and this is about a block to block and a half from the beach, brian. i'm afraid this is obviously going to be one that goes down in the annals in the weather. certainly on the beaches of new jersey, not only here but on the beaches, as we showed you earlier, al roker, they showed you earlier how the 25-yard dune was decimated, when i saw that earlier, brian, boy i thought it was just like the tsunami in japan, and here comes another wave of water. this is salt water, since it is late october the water temperature is in the 60s, so it is not icy cold, but nonetheless, we're getting wind gusts up to 70 miles an hour. and by the way, that gauge at sandy hook has set an all-time record, now it is approaching 13 feet, almost three feet higher than the water level was with irene, august a year ago. we're staying hunkered down and bringing pictures the best we can. >> we appreciate that, mike, i don't have to tell you the real estate there is hugely valuable for the state of new jersey. it is a recreational playground all summer for millions of american famili

the shore. we talked about ocean city. beach erosion is the concern there. the beaches are in harm's way. they have flood warnings. we have a flood watch starting late tomorrow into tuesday. look at how nice, 67 downtown. the wind is light and calm. that will change over the next couple days. this is an infrared image of the hurricane. i will put this into motion. it is making its way north of grand bahama. it will parallel the coast. it could be a poster of vocal when it makes when point. -- it could be post-tropical when it makes landfall. wherever it hits, it will cause a fair amount of storm surge. because it is so vast, a 400- mile range, we will have everyone experiencing those conditions. you can see where the watches and warnings are along the carolina coast starting this evening. the good news is along the coast of florida, a lot of those have been lifted. it will be a slow mover. we're concerned about heavy rain and local flooding. up to 5 inches at the beaches. a to 10 inches a possibility. trees coming down because of the high wind. the highest we've ever had is 98 miles an hou

we have a reporter on the beach in new jersey so we will get you to her. she is live and is going to show us exactly what the conditions are there and what they expect so we'll get that to you later on this morning. also new this morning police are searching for the person who used a hammer to pull off a robbery outside a local walmart. police tell us the attack happened around midnight at the store on richmond highway in alexandria. the victim was apparently struck with the hammer but did not need to go to the hospital. the search remains for the attacker. >>> a charles county woman is dead and her husband in serious condition this morning after the couple was shot while walking their dog around 7:00 last night in waldorf. sheriff's deputies say the couple passed a man while walking their dog near hampshire circle. when the man started barking the -- the dog started barking the man opened fire. >> we're not sure if the suspect shot because the dog barked at him, if this was an attempted robbery. there are a lot of pieces of the puzzle we're trying to put t

the storm surge pushed all this sand up on the beach. the homes on the other side here all still boarded up. a lot of damage and debris, a lot of difficulty. it's like a big mace to ge maze to get around in the community. a lot of trees came down. it was scary for the people that lived on the seaside by the beaches. one woman who survived the storm last night, you were a few houses away from the beach what was it like last night? >> it was absolutely terrifying. the sound of the wind with the water it was terrifying. you didn't know if your house was going to cave in or not. >> you're one of the homes hit by a tree? >> yes we had half of a tree come down and hit our roof and take down all of our gutters. just the sound of the tree crashing on the house is terrifying. >> what is it like today? i think you have a lot of anxiety about that. >> assessing the damage, seeing what is going on. even our beach, the debris that is around and the cleanup. we happen to be one of the people very lucky. there is so much devastation that is out there, a

out here on the beach. a lot of people out and about. the cabin fever really starting to sit in. people here were on a mandatory no driving restriction. for 24 hours. so as soon as that driving restriction was lifted, at around 8:30 this morning, the streets suddenly became packed with people. folks walking their dogs, kids, surfers, everybody is out now. and of course there is a still a bit of cleanup needed here. i will show you a little bit about where this cleanup needs to take place. if you can follow me up this way. lots of sand was blown up during these bigger gusts we were getting during the height of the storm. and the waves forcing a lot of this sand way down here underneath the board walk. not a ton of damage but it will take a lot of time to refill all of these walkways. this is one hole of hundreds that stretch all the way down the board walk here. a lot of cleanup. i think by in large this sentiment here we were really spared here. and now our thoughts and prayers are all heading to the folks up in new york, new jersey, ocean city, atlantic city, the places that got

the loop. chesapeake beach, we're focused there, as well, eastern and western shore. he surge may be a little limited in the situation, because we expect most of our hard winds to come out of the north and northwest and push and drive basically out of the north. so again there it is and the rain coming down at a pretty good clip here. this is one area we'll watch closely because we believe there will be a significant amount of 8 to 10 inches of rain, a storm that could rival agnes in terms of rain. the dam potentially going close to all gates open once we get the runoff. middle to latter part of the week when we get the runoff from the storm. so keeping a close eye on that. >> big rain bands beginning to push in out of the east. cecil county, a big amount of the precipitation coming down here. this is just the beginning, leading edge of the storm. high wind concern; power lines, you name it and along lived impact, wave ings offshore will be the case as well. and one last look at the coastal flood concern, the entire chesapeake and maryland coastal bays and beaches incl

the beach looks empty right now, which is some good news. thing i'm wondering you're there, you're in a high-rise building, so you're relatively safe. where do people in hawaii go? i know that the islands are pretty flat especially around the coast. where are people evacuating to? >> if there's an opportunity to get into a high-rise building, they advise them to get above the poufourth floor. there are mountains that's one area that i believe is the highest point on this island as far as i've been told and so it's just an opportunity to get more inland. we're pretty much at sea level in waikiki. they were expecting a three-foot wave here so it wasn't like we were expecting a wall of water to come in. might get a little inundated or localized. we were told to stay off the first few floors just in case and, again, just in case, out of an abundance of caution. >> from what i understand this is an event that could take place throughout the night. i'm hearing that it's not just one wave, it could be multiple waves. do we know how long this could g
