Snow, wind, and icy rain, the aftermath of an all night blizzard, the northeast is still getting pummeled by a historic storm and now this. The noreaster has turned deadly. It is not likely to come back any time soon. Plus well also be following that man hunt thats continuing in los angeles for a former cop on a rampage. Cnn now has exclusive video showing just how deadly he is. It is february, february 9th and youre watching our special coverage of the noreaster. Police say somebody died in ray stormrelated crash in poughkeepsie new york. The boston area being slammed with hurricaneforce winds and looks like connecticut is taking the brunt of the snow and up to two feet of snow in some places, more to come elsewhere falling at a clip of 3 inches an hour. And hundreds of cars now stuck in that snow on long island on the long expressway and sunrise highway. The roads are closed now to just about everybody except those emergency vehicles. Police say nose have been rescued but still some are stranded. Well have an update from long island in always ji fjust a few it knocked out power to 600,000 households and businesses across eight states. Winds are gusting in some places 70 miles an hour. That wont help and, that, of course, is tearing down the tree limbs and power lines and leaving families in the dark and bitter cold. Massachusetts is hardest hit. At this particular point, that is. In rhode island, more than 800,000 customers dont have electricity, more than a fifth of its population. Poppy harlow is there. Reporter i wouldnt like to do it with anyone but you, good morning, marty, good morning, america. Many of you waking up, millions of you to a complete whiteout what we have here in providence, rhode island. I want to take a second trip to pan our camera and show you the whiteout conditions weve had since 10 00, 11 00 eastern. Its a tall hotel and restaurant but you wouldnt know by looking at it. You cant see that. Thats what weve been dealing w where are we . Were literally in front of town hall in the center of providence. Ive been here for hours on end here and we havent seen really a single pedestrian. A few stragglers around 10 00 p. M. And sledding around here but thats about it. Its been completely abandoned. Theyen baaed traffic after 5 00 p. M. Eastern making it illegal for anyone in rhode island to be on the roads. Ist95 that entire corridor, connecticut, rhode island, completely shut down, folks. That has hasnted since the great blizzard of 1978 but the big struggle here in the Early Morning hours is the Power Outages. As marty told you 183,000 homes without power. That number is only going to go up. We knew this would happen because the snow is wet, the know is heavy and because the temperatures stayed a little bit above freezing you had wet, thick snow weighing on the power lines bringing them down and trees down and when the power goes out the big concern is the heat. We saw it in the aftermath of sandy but much warmer then. Hoi soon can the power company, national grid, get that power back up and running . That is the situation on providence, rhode island, again, 183,000 homes without power. I want to go to susan candiotti, my colleague in boston, boston surely getting hit incredibly hard. What are you saying . Reporter much the same thing you are. Its blowing sideways as it has been purchase of the night and swirling around in all kinds of different directions. Felt like pin needles during most of the day tri and into the evening when it would pelt you in the face and now still seeing much of that but also getting a sense that perhaps the flakes are just a little bit bigger. But as we take a look down now here, a turkey truck just came down this road. We are in Columbus Park in Downtown Boston where we have not lost power throughout the night. So this park, this truck just cleared a little bit of a path here but look at how the snow has piled humanary some of the drift that is back there, as well. Now, jumping over here, i just want to show you how deep it is. If i could if i could make it over the drift okay, not very artfully done and there you have it and putting the stick in the yardstick, looks like 18, 19 inches. Remember, the record being at least 27. This stands to be a pretty good chance since it doesnt liook like itll let up any time soon. Reporter the snow does not look like its giving up any time soon. Viewers to Staten Island to gary tuckman braving it in Staten Island and telling such an important story. This is a place that was hit so hard after sandy. 23 deaths there and power out for weeks on end. People very concerned with this storm, gary. What are you seeing . Reporter well, poppy within the last hour the snow is basically stopped to the great relief of the people of Staten Island. Because like you said the people suffered here so much. Staten island is only 5 of new york city but had more than half the deaths from Hurricane Sandy, 23 people died here. There are still an estimated 1400 people who are homeless. I was here three months ago because so many homes were damaged. This right here was a home. And you can see it is rubble and it has stayed rubble. This next door was heavy di damaged however theyre rebuilt it. The family that rebuilt was hoping to move in but because of the blizzard they had to stop the work. There was so much concern in Staten Island because of what happened three months ago, just a couple of blocks away from here. A woman had her two children. Her car was blown offer the road and she couldnt hold on to them. They found them later, 2 of the 23 that died and there still is to this day but as a matter of fact across the street you see that tent, people arent living in that tent. It has been put up to provide hot feels for homeless people. When this started there were people who were homeless from sandy having luncheon side that tent. Theres a great sense of relief that the blizzard wasnt as bad as it was in connecticut, rhode island, massachusetts, New Hampshire and maine. Poppy, back to you. Gary, they can take any break they can get. Its been so tough. Youve been on that sort for months. Thank you, marty, want to send it back to you in the cold water studio. I wish i was out with you well check back. Nearly 5,000 flights have been canceled. To and from the northeast, probably no surprise and that is likely to stay the norm for awhile. There will be no flights out of bostons logan until at least sunday were being tolded. Flights out of newaof new yorkk has closed until 1 00 p. M. Time eastern time. Check your airline to verify the status of your flight before you head out to the airport. So, how much of the snow are we expecting to fall and who will get the most of it . Meteorologist Alexandra Steele is following that. Good morning, everyone. Look at some of these numbers. Incredibly impressive, looks right now like connecticut, the bullseye. Camden, 34 inches thus far and hamden is right off i91, madison is long the shoreline, 32 inches so far and worse sker, mass, 10 inches, bergen county, 15 inches. In fairfield county, 19 so across the board incredibly dramatic, islip and central park 8. 1 inches and the snow continues. It is wrapping up, the good news but once it wraps up well see 30 to 40mileanhour wind gusts and 25 Million People being affected. You can see where the back side is. Its in number state new york, western new york. All moving eastwards about awe show closer, that white banding is where were seeing the heaviest snowfall. Maybe two to three inches an hour for some how were getting incredible snow totals. So heres a look at what well see in terms of wind. We know how much weve seen. At 5 00 this morning, watch it from west to east but notice these isobars where the winds will be strong. By 7 00, long island getting out of it. Western connecticut and western mass, as well. By the afternoon, 1 00, everyone but the islands and all pushing north and continuing to move eastward. The snowwise but what well see is the wins continuing to blow around what weve seen already, which is two and three feet. That brings me to the question which is a lot of travel bans we know in effect. Would could they be lifted. In boston and massachusetts, first time at 4 00 they have done this travel ban and everyone certainly in agreement that this was such a good idea keeping everyone off the road. Hard to know when theyll bring it back, the roads which everybody has been off. Certainly sooner than it would have been without the ban. By the afternoon well watch this. By 10 00 you can see its all but gone from chatham to all the way to the cape and islands. Still this morning, see the snow end and maybe some ftomorrow. Thanks. A lot more on the blizzard in the northeast. People stuck on a major highway. An update live and show you whats happening in your neighborhood.

Good morning, and welcome back to special coverage of the blizzard 2013. Live images coming to us from boston. One of the arias being impacted by this massive storm dumping a record amount of snow in some places. Thats proving a problem for people traveling especially from, say, connecticut to massachusetts. They have been urged to stay off the road. In new york hundreds of drivers are stuck trapped by know on the long island expressway. Joining me on the phone to talk more about that is ed shiner. He is the director of emergency preparations for Suffolk County. Ed, thanks for joining us this morning. And let me ask you this, where are these cars and home do you think are stuck . Well, most are on the long island expressway and some of the roads that travel north and south on in the county also are at the Higher Elevations where we got higher accumulations of snow. We have cars stuck up there nearly all of the cars have been searched and all of the people have been removed through a risky operation that took place over the last two or three hours and been successful in removing those folks. A lot of the cars are still abandoned in place. We are working on getting plows and tow trucks to clear the roadways out. You had to have teams that were literally going car to car in the middle of the storm . Thats correct. We used restoreses with snowmobile and fourwheel drive vehicles and high axle drivers. Where did they go for refuge . Did they find places, peoples homes, businesses, that sort of thing . We found theres still quite a number of the local mini marts are open, Convenience Stores are open. The folks that we removed from the vehicles, we took them to firehouses and to Warming Centers and we were able to position them there and were in the process of providing meals and water to them right now. How long is it going to be until you can get the roads back to normal and i imagine itll be a while . Yeah, i think, you know, well be able to make a better assessment once daylight comes but they are as i said high accumulations of snow in the northern part of the country. Still a lot of blowing snow and its a wet, heavy snow. So we we have to get our resources out there and we do have a state, county and local resources out there plowing the roadways. Ed schneier for Suffolk County in new york. Talk about people being stuck on the long island expressway. Thanks very much, ed. Now to George Howell because he has been following ireports.

Martin . Thats miguel, a story well continue to follow for you. The other is the blizzard in the northeast, George Howell joins us with more of your ireport which is always kind of an interesting way to look at the storm through other people. And, you know, you sigh the darned things through other people. O i ireporters are getting these. New yorkers are resilient. At riverside park, look at that a guy snowboarding. Has his dog with him. I think he even treated a little jump, a little, you know, lift to jump while hes snowboarder there. Isnt that cool . Yeah, hes enjoying it just the way you should. Over to this, a picture we have from connecticut. An imprint of the door. He opened the door and you have three feet of know right there. The indentations of the door even right will. Going to have trouble getting out of the door. Lets switch over to this. Look at these shelves. People went to these stores and bought up as much as they could and bought up the bread, the water to get prepared for this thing, a lot of people with the door went maybe stuck in their homes so i think theres a lot who went through and may not have been properly prepared for Hurricane Sandy but not this time in a classic scene, i say, in manhattan right off 14th street, the trader joes a separate store for wine. Theyre not going into the store but wine store and im getting as much wine as possible for all the snow comes down. Good antifreeze. Not a bad call. Thank you, george.
