Hurricane sandy is starting to look like a perfect storm, as berman was predicting, from new england to virginia and as far inland as ohio. Everyone is being warned to prepare to take action because of a rare and complex atmospheric setup. Sandy could collide with the east coast early next week as a super storm. Sandy has already done plenty of damage. 11 people are dead in cuba. The hurricane ripping roofs off some homes and flattening others. Sandy killed one person in jamaica, 10 more people in haiti. That is 22 people total killed by this storm already. Heavy rains from the storms outer bands causing flooding as well. Even though its several days away, the sand bagging has already started as far north as new jersey. Meteorologist rob marciano is tracking sandys every move, joiping us live from the extreme Weather Center in atlanta. What is the latest on this . Still a category 1 storm as you mentioned, deadly affects across the caribbean islands, battering the bahamas right now. About 150 miles or so east of miami, about 480 miles south of charleston, South Carolina. Movement is northwesterly at 13 miles an hour and this thing is beginning to evolve into something larger than a hurricane. The wind field is changing. This is an extraordinary storm for this time of year. This time of year we start to get the impacts of what you typically would see in a falllike storm. That will give it the extra punch weve been talking about the past couple of days and things are starting to come together. Florida, youre getting the impacts first, of course. Up and down i95, along the beaches especially. Bigtime waves. From ft. Lauderdale, this is yesterday, late yesterday with winds driving sideways, certainly looks like a hurricane. The center of this thing still at this point over a couple hundred miles offshore. You get the idea of what kind of impacts we see even when youre nowhere near the storm. This will continue for several days from the cos, across the georgia coast, the South Carolina coast, North Carolina coast as well. Lets go over the forecast track for the National Hurricane center. Tonight it goes northerly and northeasterly and almost mimics the coastline of the u. S. , makes a northeasterly turn, saturday night into sunday. It will be well offshore. Theyll get peppered by big waves, 30 foot waves possibly. Tides are already unusually high because this is the full moon. You get that with the storm surge, almost disastrous coastal flooding up and down the east coast. Here is the track as far as what kind of landfall we expect. Monday night into tuesday morning, potentially wednesday if it goes further to the right anywhere from Cape Hatteras to boston under the gun here, keeping it as a category 1. The wind field is going to be so large it doesnt matter where you actually see landfall. We say that when hurricanes come on shore but this one really the wind field is going to be so large, especially to the east. Its going to affect hundreds of miles of coastline and tens of millions of people. These are the spaghetti models. Each line represents one computer model. Weve been showing you the past couple of days, most have been going out to sea. Yesterday they were about half and half. Now nearly all of them bring them back to the northeast. An extraordinary setup, one we certainly havent seen in my lifetime. We compare it to the perfect storm of 1991. Guys, this is going to be worse, because this one is coming onshore. That one didnt even come on shore and it had disastrous effects. Oh, my gosh, rob, 30 to 40 foot waves. I know youll continue to monitor this for us. Stay with cnn for the latest track of Hurricane Sandy throughout the day and over the weekend, folks, we have this covered. Were tracking it like no one else can with meteorologists and reporters spread across the east coast. That is a big story. To president ial politics and the battle for the battlegrounds. President obama waking up in the white house this morning, following two days of virtual barack around the clock campaigning in eight states. Mitt romney swarming the swing states as well, ohio yesterday and again today. He will also be in iowa for what his Campaign Calls a significant economic speech today. The latest cnn poll of polls has mitt romney 48 , president obama at 47 . Thats pretty much a dead heat 11 days out. Also three new swing state polls shows how tight this race is. In nevada, president obama up 5047, according to a new nbc news wall street journal poll. Same poll has the race tied in colorado. All of these virtual ties with just 11 days to go. Cnn political director mark preston live. What do these campaigns have going on today . It doesnt mean he stopped campaigning. In fact, today he will do 10 interviews, seven of them with local affiliates in the battleground states. Well get the names of those affiliates later on today. Mtv, doing about a 20, 25minute interview with mtv later this afternoon which just goes to show that barack obama is really trying to shore up his base, part of his base, of course, are the young voters. Mitt romney is in i with wau. He he will be delivering an economic speech, probably what has been the strongest part of his campaign is talking about the economy. 11 days to go. He will deliver that speech in iowa which, of course, is a state that is critical for him. Right now he is losing to barack obama in that state. A little bit later in the evening he will be joined by paul ryan at a rally. A lot going on in the campaign trail, lot of surrogates out certainly in the battleground states and we are now in the sprint. A lot of people may have been sleeping last night a controversy bubbled up, involving the endorsement colin powell gave to barack obama. Its the second time powell has endorsed obama. Its what a romney surrogate said about that thats making news. Yeah, john. This is john sununu, former governor of New Hampshire. Often people would say he is very outspoken. He has gotten himself in trouble before by saying some things and has had to walk them back. Certainly this is not something the Romney Campaign wants to deal with. Lets just listen to what he will to say about this especially adoresment last night on piers morgan. Frankly, when you take a look at colin powell you have to wonder if thats an endorsement based on issues or whether hes got a slightly different reason for preferring president obama. What reason would that be . Well, i think when you have somebody of your own race that youre proud of being president of the United States, i applaud colin for standing with him. And there you have john sununu, former governor of New Hampshire, top romney surrogate making controversial comments. He did try to walk them back quickly after those comments were made. Lets take a quick look at what he said. They release d a statement. Colin powell is a friend. I respect the endorsement decision he made. I do not doubt that it was based on anything but his support of the president s policies. Piers morgans question was whether colin powell should leave the party and i dont think he should. I do know the governor and i do not think he is a racist. I do think that we need to note that. This is certainly a controversy that the Romney Campaign does not want to deal with 11 days before the election. Awfully quick to walk it back after it happened. This type, the Obama Campaign and video they put out stars lenadunham known as creator of hbos girls show. What is it about this ad that has people up in arms . Slightly ties together the first time you vote to the first time you lose your virginity. Lets go to the video. It says it all. Your first time shouldnt be with just anybody. You want to do it with a great guy. It should be with a guy with beautiful someone who really cares about and understands women. A guy who cares whether you get health insurance, specifically whether you get birth control. The consequences are huge. My first time voting was wonderful. It was a line in the sand. I was a girl. Now im a woman. I pulled back the curtain and voted for barack obama. Two controversies that are bubbling up 11 days before election day. What a day. How to begin the morning when talking about sex and race this early in the morning in the president ial campaign. I hope my kids arent watching. All right. Mark preston, thanks very much. 11 more days of this to go. Very good point. Next hour of early start well be talking about polls and politics. Margaret hoover and richard socarides.

A mother comes home to the unthinkable, two of her three children stabbed to death in their manhattan bathtub, a nanny in a pool of blood nearby with a kitchen knife by her side. Childrens father was reportedly away on business. Deborah feyerick is following all the developments for us. Police believe that the nanny killed the children before stabbing herself. What this is just unthinkable, unheard of. Everybody is nervous about Something Like this. Oh, yeah. What do you know . This has sent shock waves through new york city. Parents across the city, holding their kids even more tightly. Some cases theyre looking over their shoulder and asking could their nanny snap . This is really what this is abo about, a young mom, 38 years old, comes home, with her middle child, 3 years old. Theyve gone for swimming lessons. She walks into her home. The home is dark. Shes surprised. Its 5 30 in the evening, the kids are usually getting ready for dinner, having their baths. No sign of anything. She goes downstairs and says did my children leave with the nanny . Doorman says no. She goes back up in the bathroom, she finds blood everywhere. The two children, 2yearold little boy leo, 6yearold little girl, lucia, stabbed to death, the nanny on the floor. She apparently has a knife by her side. She has stabbed herself repeatedly in the neck. Police are saying they do believe that the wounds were self inflicted, that after the nanny snapped somehow she became deranged, killed the children, then tried to kill herself. A neighbor heard these blodchilling screams coming from the apartment and called 911. Thats when police arrived. The mother is in a complete state of shock. She was taken to the hospital as well, described as being beyond comprehensible right now. She is in such a state of trauma. Of course. The nanny here, i was reading that the mom kept a blog and they had visited the nannys home i think it was dominican republic, spent time with her family. This is somebody they really knew . Reports say that the mom had stayed home, but after the birth of the young son, they decided to hire a nanny. They veted the nanny, did a background check, criminal check. Usually all this happens in new york city. They went and spent time with the nanny. Seems like family. In the dominican republic. They felt close to her. This wasnt negligence. This wasnt a situation where the parents werent doing due diligen diligence. In fact, they were. And the mother was very hands on. As you say, there was this blog. She posted pictures just a couple of hours earlier of the little boy just saying, what a joy and delight he was. So this was really, everyone in this city is going to be talking about this because you dont know. When you leave your children with somebody else, whether it be a nanny, babysitter, theres always that question, are your children safe and are the caretakers doing the right thing . Its frightening, really terrifying. We talked about this earlier. Just really quickly, any chance that Something Else could have possibly happened here, that it was not the nanny . We pressed the police on that question last night. They believe that the wounds are self inflicted. The nanny has been arrested. No charges have been filed. Shes in Critical Condition right now. The father imagine landing at an airport to be told that two of your children zblsh by pol e police, right . Two of your children have been killed. Its tragic.
