Hattiesburg took the brunt of a series of twister on sunday causing phil bryant to declare a stated of emergency. Victor what is it like there this morning . Reporter im on the west end of hattiesburg on the campus of the university of southern mississippi. Look at this building. This building is more than 100 years old. See the top corner . Thats the desk of the alumni director. This is some of the more dramatic damage on the campus. There are about a half dozen we know that when this came through, it caused injuries around the area. Weve been told the latest numbers from the Emergency Management here up to 60 injuries reported to local hospitals. Only ten of those were severe enough to be transported to those hospitals. No major injuries, no deaths. We sue immediately after this storm the videos pop up on youtube. The storm described as being three quarters of a mile wide ripping through the community. Homes damaged. Roofs being ripped off buildings. We also know the schools here, public schools, grade schools are closed today because of some of the buses at the bus barn had been damaged. At this campus, there are no classes monday and tuesday because of mardi gras. Again, very dramatic damage here. Victor, amazing pictures down there. Victor blackwell, thank you very much. Just as the northeast starts to dig out from the weekends historymaking blizzard, the hardest hit state is bracing for more potentially dangerous weather. Freezing rain is expected in parts of the state today. Snow piles play freeze and become the equivalent of a jersey barrier. Comparing the snow to actual concrete walls. Getting around wont be only tough in connecticut. Crews worked through the night to clear a stretch of new yorks long island expressway and have citybound lanes open this morning for rush hour. The l. I. E. Is the main way into the city from long island. So we are all over this big digout. Indra petersons is in long island, George Howell is in hamden, connecticut. We begin in boston where the big concern is Power Outages, how to get all of those folks out. Indra, good morning. Good morning. Yeah, today it is also about getting back to normal. We still have 120,000 people this morning without power. Temperatures are cold. Tons of snow is on the ground. Huge heaps of snow. Today we have a snow emergency and school is still closed as the city takes one more day to clean out the snow. What you mentioned earlier is a weather charge today. A warm front is pushing through. Highs will be in the mid 40s. A lot of the snow is expected to melt. Before we get there, we will talk about more snow, several inches is possible and even freezing rain. So everyone is trying to get to work this morning. Not seeing too much out here. It looks like people are listening to the warnings. When this does start to melt, there could be snow blocking the drains or ice blocking the drains, so that is a concern. Logan is finally operational, but with the icing this morning and heavy rains i wouldnt be surprised to see backup there as well. Indra petersons, thank you very much. The eastern part of long island took a thrashing in the storm. Crews are racing now to open part of the long island expressway for the morning rush. The westbound lanes heading into the big apple are now clear. But hundreds of cars were abandoned in the snow on the l. I. E. Due to the heavy snowfall. Alison kosik joins us now from ronkokoma, new york. Its monday morning, people are trying to get to work and part of the long island expressway, the reyes bound side is closed. The westbound side, the part that heads to new york city, that is open. The cars are going. But if youre lucky enough to get to the highway, thats a great thing. The side streets are a different story. They barely have been plowed. Look at how deep this snow still is days after this blizzard hit. I talked with one person this morning. He said it took him one hour to go ten miles, just to give you an idea about how tough it is to travel on these side streets. Look at that big truck over here. It just got stuck here. We have a Suffolk Police officer trying to help that trucker. Why about these highways close . We can go back to that video you showed, john. Over the weekend, you know, this storm really hit on friday during rush hour. A lot of people were trying to head home, beat the storm but they clearly didnt because the snow fell so fast so hard. Thats why those thats why those cars got stuck like that. They had to close the highway so they could get those cars out and plow that snow. That is why the highway was closed from sunday morning up to the wee hours of this morning. Finally the westbound, the lanes heading towards new york city, are open again. Thats good news, but those side streets still a mess, man. No place got dumped on worse than the town of hamden, connecticut. How about 40 inches of snow . Thats crazy. The big dig so far barely able to make a dent for those folks. George howell is there for us live this morning. Good morning. Reporter good morning. 40 inches of snow what do you do with that . Where do you start . What you find here in hamden, there are plows everywhere. You scoop it up, pile it up. I want to show you over here, you see these big piles . Theyre everywhere. Theres snow all over town and it could take several days before crews are able to clear the roads. In the neighborhoods, you find a lot of the roads unplowed. So people have been stuck in their homes for the last 72 hours. You can go stir crazy waiting in your home like that. Crews are doing their best. Also on the highways, when i drove in on i95, you can tell the crews have done a great job of clearing those roads, but theres a problem because when youre on the highway, sometimes the shoulder lane can go away. Theres so much snow piled up on the side. We spoke to the mayor of hamden, just what it takes to clean out all the snow. Take a listen. We have about 240 miles worth of road, as of right now, about 50 of them are impassable. People open their doors, they look out their windows, they see 40 inches of snow and realize this is not a snowstorm this is a disaster this is an emergency. This is dangerous. Reporter today there is a real probability of rain in the forecast. When you get rain on the roads it makes for conditions like this you dont have to be a professional to moon walk out here. Its slippery. Its black ice. Also on these mounds, you get rain on the mounds, you get rocks like that. So it will be several days before crews are able to clear the roads, before people get back to normal up here. You mentioned some people stuck at home for 72 hours. Did they have a lot of Power Outages or are they okay . Here in hamden, no, they didnt have electrical problems. But in different area theres were problems. At this point we understand a lot of people have gotten power back. But it will take several days before things get back to normal. I cant imagine 40 inches of snow, but you seem to been joying it. We will go back to george for more of that moonwalk later. So the south is really not out of the danger zone yet. The northeast is in for another wet morning with a wet commute. Well have more on the Weather Forecast with alexander steel tracking the new threats this morning. Theyre moonwalking in the south because on the roads theyre hydroplaning. We have issues in the south, midwest. Heres the northeast, we were talking about the rain and snow coming down. You can see that. The pink delineates the sleep. Temperatures in the 20s, 30s, 40s, so a variety of conditions in boston, rain and snow, temperatures about 30 degrees. By the arfternoon, the snow wil change over to rain. In new york, predominantly just rain. Right now its 35, 36 degrees. Cloudy skies. A few showers for the afternoon. Temperatures in the 40s. Heres the deal. 15 reports of tornadoes from last night in the south. Today you can see this inundation of rain. Its a rain train. The biggest issues in the south today will be flooding. Not so much an isolated tornado, a tornado threat nowhere near as strong as yesterday, but strong winds, heavy rain, we could see between three and five inches of rain between yesterday and the time this storm makes its way out on wednesday. All right. Alexander steel, thank you. A little fun, not as much flesh at the Grammy Awards in l. A. Last night.

A fire in the engine room on sunday actually disabled the ship. More than 4,200 passengers and crew are on board no injuries are reported. Another ship is expected to arrive today to tow that liner into a port in mexico. What are the conditions, sandra . Good morning. Thousands on board that carnival triumph are still waiting for help and the coast guard said its cutter was expected to arrive there 1 00 this morning. A fire broke out yesterday morning in the engine room of the triumph. A carnival spokesperson said the fire was contained and no injuries were reported, but it left the shift drifting 140 miles off the yucatan peninsula. The triumph was on a fourday trip from galveston, texas to cozumel, but the fire left the engine dead. The more than 4,000 passengers and crew on board are now waiting for a tugboat to tow the vessel to progreso, mexico. The passengers were never without electricity, thanks to emergency generators and do have ample food and water on board. Even more food and beverages were being transferred yesterday on to the triumph from one of its sister ships. But heres a comment posted from one of the passengers. The passenger says we have no power at all, which means we cant use the toilets, wash our hands or take a shower. Certainly not good conditions there if thats the case. Two years ago splendor lost power and was adift frift for d off the coast of mexico. Folks on that ship went without hot showers and toilets. It was eventually towed to san diego. The ship is expected to make it to progreso by wednesday and those on board will be flown back home at no cost to them. I had no idea their toilets were not running and they didnt have a working water. That is a problem. The Carnival Cruise line is trying to compensate passengers. They will get a full refund and all expenses except for money spent at the casino and gift shops will be refunded. The next two departures for triumph have been canceled. Those passengers will get refunded as well. We saw on facebook that a lot of disappointed passengers were upset that those trips will be canceled. I wonder why they canceled them, just as a safety precaution . Im sure they want to check out the ship, make sure everything is working okay. I dont think id like being adrift in the gulf of mexico. I wouldnt mind being adrift if everything was working. If those backup generators were able to power everything. Even if the bar is still open, im not sure without the toilets and showers thats a problem. What you dont know about your Credit Report could cost you big money.

You mean investors, right . Not investigators . Probably investors not investigators. We care about your stocks, the investigators. Im going to be in big trouble. Also this morning, questions about your Credit Report. Is it accurate . All sparked by a piece last night on questi60 minutes. An ftc investigation found far too many Credit Reports had mistakes, 40 million americans have a mistake. 20 million have a significant mistake and some of these mistakes can be difficult to remove. One out of five americans has an error on their Credit Report, and 1 out of 10 errors might lower your credit score. This is so important. Your credit score f youre going to go buy a car and use a loan to do that, buy a house and use a loan to do that, youll apply for a job, theyll run a background check, theyll run a Credit History, too. So your credit score is less important than your Credit History and making sure there are not mistakes on the Credit History. So the 60 minutes piece listed some horrible stories. The three major Credit Reporting agencies keep files on 200 million of us and traffic in our financial reputations. Thats how 60 minutes put it. The cdia, this is the trade association that represents these three Credit Unions they sacred date reports are materially accurate 98 of the time. When they do contain mistakes our members work to resolve them quickly and to the Consumers Satisfaction 95 of the time. The industry is highlighting its own studies that are much more rosy than this ftc study that was highlighted last night. Well get that study today and pore over it. Go to annualcreditreport. Com and check for mistakes. Check for those mistakes 6
