of course by the looks of things, residents will have to be patient as crews clearly have a busy day ahead of them. many residents were tell us it took less than 10 minutes for this fast-moving tornado to make its way through annapolis. steve, let s send it back to you. steve: unbelievable weather. all right. elijah thank you very much for the live report. senior meteorologist janice dean could not make it into the city because of the impassable roads and she joins us from her home bunker. janice: very grateful for the technology that i can broadcast from my home today because i was on the roads. we saw flooding. we turned around and we came back. and that s what i want everyone to do this morning. heed those warnings. the worst of it is almost over. but the damage, of course, is done. we had at least five reports of tornadoes. not only in maryland but parts of new jersey as well as, you know, near the philadelphia area. so pennsylvania, the flood advisories are posted for many of thes
could see tremendous rainfall as well, about a 1200 mile stretch of land from louisiana out towards cape cod where we have the flood advisories in place. so rainfall estimates go right back up to maybe 6 plus inches, some areas potentially close to 10 inches in eastern pennsylvania getting awfully close to philadelphia, new york city, so some of the major metro cities will see what is left of the storm system and i always try to emphasize the significance of that because when you are in an area where it is a lot of natural ground, the countryside, we know about 90% of what hits the ground is absorbed by the soil, about 10% becomes runoff. and in the south where we ve had so much rain in recent weeks, a lot more in the way of runoff when we see flash flooding. but you bring it into an urban environment, a lot of concrete, about 55% of it translates into runoff. so that is the concern that we ll see significant flooding in some of these major cities around the northeast as the system her
24 hours, the city that it made landfall yesterday, we had 153-mile-an-hour sustained rather, gusts, so not sustained winds but gusts but the hurricane as it moved onshore had sustained winds of 150 miles per hour and one of the lowest pressures we ve ever seen in the gulf of mexico. the advisories we still have hurricane warnings in effect. this is still a hurricane. it is going to be weakening throughout the next 12 to 24 hours and then becoming an area of low pressure but still bringing tremendous amounts of rain over of some of these areas and still at least tropical storm force winds. so the system is still in louisiana, of moving quite slowly and that s another concern is these tropical systems that continue to sort of lumber along, bringing moisture in from the gulf of mexico and bringing flood advisories, flood warnings, flash flooding concerns for all of the vulnerable areas including new orleans, in towards mississippi, alabama, the florida panhandle
