I want to call them the men in black, but i think you are wearing a navy blue suit. You look great. Mike wood. Back for this hour. [talking over each other] i got a little bit of sleep. Three hours of sleep. The thing is that mike went to the gym for half of that. [laughter] absolutely. I did some pushups. Thats good enough. [laughter] did an amazing job this storm, helping us out and helping us track its. Hopefully we will be in better shape soon. Obviously, the danger has not passed, we have seen the worst. Continuing to go at us, we are past the storm, losing some of the power. I have to tell you. It is still going. I actually outlasted the energizer battery. [laughter] nice job, my friend. All around, we are all in this together. It is a team effort. It is midnight, so i will see later this morning. We have to ask you, it is going to be going outside, where the street like other . I stayed at the hotel in midtown. The wall waldorf. It is actually close to us. A lot of folks up there. Yes, i only had to go from about 50 the street to about 67th and third. You know what, as far as the streets were concerned in that area, it wasnt so bad. Localized flooding on the roadways. Tree limbs down and things of that sort. I did not see a lot more than that. Had i gone downtown, i live down in the west village and i understand that there is a lot of areas that are underwater. The power is out. That wouldve been different. You have no power, i have no power. Mr. Quinn has no power. [talking over each other] i live on the waterfront property and i cant go home. Well, it is not a funny situation. Obviously. But taking this seriously and keep the information coming at you. It is tough. I am sure that you are curious to get back down and its going to be a while before things get back to business as usual. Here we go. We have the latest the storm. Maybe we could just ask a couple questions. Well, what about 24 hours ago when i. Looking at things,. I am a little bit surprised. It actually came through because we were thinking could that and with outlook. How would it be. But we did see that it was a possibility and we were putting in the forecast as things come to fruition. I think it has everybody in shock. Those who have not seen the pictures, a lot of people have without power or cable. They might not be aware of what is going on in the tristate region. The jersey shore throughout the new york harbor, off to long island. Pretty much everyone has been affected by the storm. I do have to say that i am a little surprised by how much the water is backed up. Places like the east river and the hudson river. How much it affects the folks as we head into places like Westchester County into Putnam County and bolster county. That is a long way toward tobacco. But it did indeed do so. Some things like that were up quite a surprise. 75mile per hour winds. Pretty impressive out there as well. Without a doubt. Well over 1 Million People without power in that area now. Yes, i mentioned that yesterday. I think it shocked people. You know, thousands of people are going to be without power, its more like millions. You can imagine when youre seeing areas that are looking at power outage possibilities, you do the math and you have millions of people that are going to be without power. Again, its not until we see the sun come up that we start adding the numbers. We really come down to some solid numbers. Absolutely. Also, so much flooding that we dont know about. It is really incredible. We were talking to joel little bit ago. And the fact that, you know what, jewel was on the phone with us now. He had the National Guard running through covered beach. You know, why dont you chime in and tell us what is going on out there . Yes, i can tell you this that the water has receded substantially. It started to receive about two hours ago and we are still stuck on the second floor on howard beach. Two hours ago we were looking at waves breaking on cross bay boulevard. We are talking about large waves coming in off of the bay. Ways that you could potentially serve on. That is how big it was. Now, there is a tremendous amount of water out here. It has receded quite a bit. When we talk you earlier, obviously, we were worried about the water continuing. Although we are on the second floor here, we were making plans with other people for an exit route to the roof. Luckily, it does not look like that is going to have to happen. You know, shortly, and not too long ago, maybe 30 minutes ago, we saw what we believe was no power. It looked like a military convoy vehicle to look like a monster truck with giant wheels. But they seem to be dressed like firefighters. It was hard to tell who they were. They pulled up in his humvee vehicle. They asked us if we were okay and we told them that we were. They said that right now that the plan is to just stay put. They wanted to make sure that there was no one in here under dire circumstances. It is incredible how fast the water came in. Amazingly, it important to note that a short time ago we saw what appeared to be a civilian vehicle, a pickup Truck Driving down the street here. A word for the wise, i dont think thats a good idea for anyone. It is really tough to navigate out here. It is tough to tell how deep the water czar, where the water is. So if you are not a first responder, i am no expert, but i can tell you that you should not be out there tonight. Not if you dont belong up there. We are glad you are out of what seems like for a few moments, extreme danger. We were worried about you. The water was getting higher. But you are clearly out of the woods, and so is everybody else. What is the name of the hotel . It is but surfside motel. We thank the folks at that hotel for taking good care of you and everybody else. When you see the responders pullup, and youre trapped, it is nothing like seeing those guys. Obviously on a night like tonight, i dont even know how they began to do their work. They do it well. It looks like it might be in zone zone b. Part of it is in transit. It is right on the cusp of zone a and zone b. As i was telling you earlier, a lot of people hit me up on twitter tonight saying that they should have evacuated in zone b. A water trap right now. They are hoping that help comes in the morning. I can tell you right now that i am looking at what is definitively zone b, and it is submerged under water as well. The part of the hotel that is in that zone, is there any part of the hotel that is underwater . I tried to take a snapshot, it is completely underwater. It looks like the pictures you would see on the titanic. Just completely underwater. The furniture floating through the first floor. The same way the water came in, crashing through the doors, a lot of the water has gone out. But i can tell you there will be a lot of damage. A lot of damage and then there is mold and i dont know how long it takes, but that hotel will function again. But it is going to be a wild. I have no idea what is entailed in cleaning out the floor of a hotel that has been completely submerged. How big of a hotel when i. About 50 people staying here tonight. I dont know what the total occupancy is. It might be double that. Okay, thats what i was wondering. If it is a big hotel in. Okay yes, it is a twotier motel. I think everyone in here, including myself is in a bit of a father having gone through this. The real story in real news, we will find out in the morning when the sun comes out and we will see how devastating this image is citywide. Absolutely. Especially for the folks that are pulled up for the night. We hope they will be okay. The ones that had to stay in their homes. Joel, thank you so much. We are glad you made it through. For a while there, we thought it was touch and go for you and your comrades staying at the hotel. Okay, mike, what do you make of it . A fullfledged Weather Report if you can. Sure thing. I will give you what we got. Getting back in the saddle again. This has obviously been a major storm or the tristate. One for the record books. What is going on at howard beach. Seeing the onshore flow for quite a while. Wins coming in from the south and southeast. Turning more southeast of the cult untransformed continues to progress toward the west. As it becomes extratropical. Still, a fair amount of rain and wind that they are dealing with. Checking out on the wind speeds, still up to about 50 Miles Per Hour. These are some of the peak wind gusts are you very impressive numbers out there. 94 Miles Per Hour wind gusts. Almost getting into the category two hurricane range. 81 miles for our here, a lot of impressive wins. A lot of damage has been done with all the Power Outages. Despite what is also going on with floating out there, too. At this point, you can tell that the wins are definitely on the downside. A lot of the stations actually are reporting. The equipment may be damaged with the weather coming through. In most instances, Power Outages. 30mile per hour wind coming for you through islip and central park and laguardia. It is coming in now from the southeast. A good indication that the storm is moving on. Looking at some of the other wind gusts, the latest reports. Im not sure if that 69 Miles Per Hour stands, but gusts around mid to upper 40s in a few areas and the low 50s here. As the storm slowly pulls away. Yes, i guess it is 69 Miles Per Hour. Lets talk about the tides. I know we have gone past the high tide. Kings point, 16foot tides. Well beyond that stage of 10. 5 feet. We saw a 14foot high tide at battery park. Major stuff that we have had to deal with going through the evening. Now, bridgeport. A high tide there of 15 feet. Above flood stage. A moderate stage within 10. 4. These were obviously some huge numbers out there. The damage that youre going to find once folks are getting ready for the cleanup effort is going to be extremely impressive. Also devastating for a lot of folks. There is your forecast Going Forward for the next seven days. Are we done with the storm . Well, we are done with the height of the storm, but we still have to go through another high tide cycle here. Then we have to deal with a few more showers both today and tomorrow. By the time we get to thursday, be drying out. Finally we have a nice dry stretch coming our way throughout the tristate region. Again, the brain is not completely out. It is going to take a wild the while for the wins to back down as well. Still looking at sustained winds around 45 or 50 Miles Per Hour. It is going to be a slow and gradual recovery for a. Mike, let me ask you. It rained we will experience tomorrow. Is it significant or not . Could there be more flooding . That looks a little estimate we have seen out there. Most of it has been in the central and southern sections of new jersey were down to the south of us. But yes, battery park, kings point, the jersey shore locations as well. Once again, we are still having the onshore winds. Doesnt fridays seem like a year from now . Im pretty sure everything will be canceled out their. The tunnels are cleaned out, the subways are back in order. How much can this corrosive saltwater do . It is quite a trick from sandy. Not a trick, but a patrick. Lets go to the north area. Thank you. Im definitely holding onto my hat. Let me tell you that there is a driving rain that his study. We have been able to see at the high tide point, that the water has actually appeared to go down several feet here. Right at the edge of long island sound. Some of the people that were members of this yacht club were concerned that the docs would break free from the moorings and that they would go out into the water. That has not happened. The water is actually going down. But that is not giving us a full picture of what is going on here. Nearly 150,000 customers in Westchester County without power. About 75 of the village of marionette without power. Right now, the big problem has been the trees are down. Some of the roads have to be closed because the trees have been obstructing the roadway there. That is a problem for many people. They simply dont have enough electricity. In terms of the flooding, what we are seeing is it is going down right now. It could be a problem earlier in the morning. We still dont have a full idea of just how bad it is all along the coastline. The mayor of the village told people if youre not out by early this evening, that he did not want to risk the lives of First Responders to come and go get them. Nonetheless, talking with Police Officers and marine unit First Responders tonight that said if they do need to go out and rescue people, thats what they do. Thats who they are. But they are going to go out there. Right now, the water is going down. The winds are whipping around. Still whipping around. Not as fierce as before. But we are checking it out. It leaves the water is going down. That is a good thing and a positive sign for us. That is what is going on. Well, hopefully the water will go down and we will have to see what happens in the morning when the tide comes back in again. Thank you so much. It is cold and wet there. Aint you, lisa. Okay, we want to check in with the metropolitan transit authority. The biggest railroad and Transportation System in the country. Aaron donovan joins us. Are you there . Yes. The spokesperson for the mta. Maybe you have heard about this tweet. It says something that saltwater is flooding, it will take a week to start up the subway system again. I heard potentially it was bogus information. Part of it is right, part of it is not right. So lets get down to this. The specifics. We do have water infiltration in brooklyn. The extent of that, i dont know at this point. But i guess we can confirm that there is sea water in the system. As far as whether it will take a full seven days to restore service, we are not in any sort of position yet to be able to put a timeframe on the service restoration. Seven days is what my take, yes, we do have saltwater. This is somewhat similar to Tropical Storm i mean. The crews need time to continue to assess the damage as soon as they can get themselves into a safe position out of harms way. Okay, is it Lower Manhattan where did you see the hardest hit area . Yes, a few blocks away in queens, quite a bit of force winds and flooding. Lower manhattan is where there is a major concentration of infrastructures. Are there any assets at all that will be moving tomorrow . Any kind of buses . Anything from mta that is on the move now . I wish i could give you some kind of certainty. We dont know for sure. I would say that if history is a guide, it is unlikely that we will have major restoration tomorrow. When will you now . We are working through the night to look at the damage. To assess the damage. As soon as we know, we will put it on every channel we have come to speaking with you guys, put it out of the press and twitter and everything like that. As soon as we know, customers will now. We encourage everyone to keep an eye on our website. We have the most uptodate information. A small question, and i would love to get an answer. Even though some people give me a hard time. As you know, the buses are not rolling right now. Is it okay to park, as i did, about eight hours ago at a bus stop . It is okay to part of the busstop. Oakley my car is still there when i get out. I have a sense that no one will be. Do you have any insight . I dont. We will look to the busstop straight we dont control ticketing or roadwork. You are not running the buses today or tomorrow. So its open. Welcome all i can say is yes, we are not running the buses. I cannot say anything about what may happen. I would encourage folks not to park there generally. But there are exceptions. As you mentioned, you think it is more likely it may be more likely the buses could be running before the subways . Yes, i mean, it is possible. The buses were moved away from the flooding locations. It is not possible to get them started either. In some cases, more quickly than others. Every single storm has a lot of different characteristics. When you do decide were when you can turn the Transportation System back on, that takes time. How long does it take to get the system running . It takes a matter of hours. And it is tough to say. It is tough to pinpoint. In an ideal situation, eight to 12 hours, definitely in an ideal situation, this has been very damaging. Very hard to try to speculate. Wind and rain and flooding that is unique and also has similarity. Okay, we certainly appreciate you answering our questions . It is 12 23 a. M. We are joined by the Police Commissioner of the new York City Police department. Ray kelly. Known to us a note to me especially. Are you there, commissioner . I am. Good morning. What happened, how is the Police Department hoping . This is a particularly devastating storm. No question about it. It is significant for Power Outages in manhattan. The area south of 34th street. Obviously, queens and brooklyn, the last count was almost 500,000 people without power. That is a huge number. So there is a lot of damage and a lot of flooding. Just as the expert said, the surge would be the thing that is of greatest concern. And that is exactly what it was. Any reports some people well, we have reports of people trapped in some of the evacuation zones. Evacuations of these. Question. Many people have you heard a trapped in their homes . Well, you know, there are hundreds of calls, not regarding , very much trying to get to people in that situation. What happens, the water comes in the water came in quickly and people are trying to get out of the situation. Firefighters are attempting to get there. There is just been an overwhelming number of jobs for them to address. To you have a sense of what area of the city is the most distressed . Well, certainly s. I. We felt charter s. I. The beach as well. Those areas are really devastated. The water has come from the ocean to meet the water from the bay. And rockaway and the point in many areas, and those, you know, anyone that knows that area. Its significant. So this is a big deal. Is taken awhile to even assess the damage, you know glass so many people suffered. Concern. Are you concerned about looting . And begins to cover parts of looting. An awful lot of Police Officers deployed. Their red lights on.
