>> well, for the very latest, we have cnn's shimon prokupecz in new york. >> and brian stelter is in new jersey. >> we'll start with shimon with the very latest on the subway system. we just heard from the governor, kathy hochul, talking about the situation there. any idea, shimon, about how much damage has been caused? how long it will be before it re-opens, before they can re-open? >> i -- i don't expect to see any kind of extensive damage in manhattan or midtown or times square area. the damage we are going to see is going to come from places like brooklyn and the bronx and queens and also staten island which saw some severe, severe flooding. so i suspect those areas, homes flooded out and a lot of people losing their cars because they drove through the rain into what they thought perhaps didn't see as flooded or as deep. and then, as they got through there, they got stuck and -- and in many cases, people had to be rescued by emergency personnel.
