our thanks to martin. amanda faulkner is with the u.s. coast guard. good evening to you, miss faulkner. i understand the u.s. coast guard has conducted seven operations and rescued at least one person. tell me about that. >> hi, yeah. so we have conducted seven rescues just as weather was permitting early this evening before the sun went down. and we did save one life. it was a cancer patient who needed to get emergency assistance at a hospital. so we got him there in time. and we'll get back up first light tomorrow. we can't operate overnight due to hazards we can't see due to storm damage. >> as i understand rescue operations have been called off for the evening. that is because of the conditions that are out. the hazards at this particular storm that it is posing, right? >> exactly. because there was so much damage to the area, we don't have a good idea of what it looks like
