We still have gusty breezes but not the as bad as yesterday. 15 miles an hour sustain wind at the airport with 37 degrees , and, we will probably get up to 42 by end of the day. Even toward evening rush we could still see just a few, left over showers, so this is taken its time in getting out of here. Yes, it is, we are all getting behind it and give it a push maybe it could go quicker. 6 02 on a tuesday and it is still raining. The heres an example what we are dealing w this is a live look Delaware Avenue columbus boulevard look at the rain, okay, at times we will see wind pick up and comes at you sideways. So that umbrella isnt going to do much good again today. Road are still soaking wet, there is puddles, ponding, every where.

Steve has been down there all morning and we will go down live in a second. Three of the new Jersey Transit bus routes are on a detour because of the high water. Septembers a airport line out of the gate with delays. You can expect delays across the board on all major mass transit systems just because of the weather and turnpike connection bridge remains closed to vehicle traffic from pennsylvania, again your alternate you can go route one north, use either scudder falls, Trenton Morrisville bridge or the Burlington Bristol bridge and for motorist coming down from the new jersey side you can use exit 7a which is 195, that gets new to trenton and exit number five will put new mount holly and head toward Burlington Bristol or exit number four hooks you up with route 73 and tacony palmyra. Alex and thomas back over to you. Well, from the the shore to the city, the effects are still being felt this morning as you heard from bob, sue, trees, power lines are town across the region and at the shore high tide bring with it another round of flooding. Our crews have been outside following latest developments. Lauren johnson in cherry hill. We got word route zero seven just reopen. But first lets go to steve keeley monitoring the flooding at the shore, hi there, steve. Reporter we are along the see sees wall and we will see white foam crashing up above me. Here comes a big wave right here we are seeing massive waves hit as high tide hits. We are at old boardwalk that was torn apart. We still can see concrete pylons, and as this high tide hits it shows strength of the new sea wall built up since sandy and previous storms. We are showing you scenes here as high tide hits on the oceanfront and that is where it is pounding and they are rebuilding boardwalk and sea wall. You see tall cranes here that withstanding the wind the last few days and roads are all flooded out. Watch this wave, right here and you can see this is a sight seers dream here in Atlantic City, dont stand too close because you can sea water oversee see wall right now and from last night the sand in the street and gravel tossed oversee see wall along with the water. Rough go for day two, and there are flooded road all over and as bob kelly just told everybody never drive through flooded roads. We dont just say that. Two at Atlantic City Fire Department guys just came here in the truck and told me they just had to rescue somebody out of a stranded car that broke down because the water was too deep it stopped the car cold and person needed to be rescued out of a foot or two of water and they didnt want to get out of their car in the knowing how deep it was and they didnt want to take a second chance. Boy, it is still rough down here, windy, and wind chill a lot cooler then yesterday but if you compare the conditions to yesterday we can stand up to the conditions today at least we can stand and talk to you without losing our breath but water is filling the streets and so high tide on the oceanfront means high tide on the back bays in a couple of hours, so more misery for the people trying to get in and ought of Atlantic City. Expressway only smart, safe waste to get in and out of Atlantic City the toy day. That means that will be backed up because white horse pike and black horse pike will be no go. From the down beach communities, west end avenue, already flooded out and it will be even more flooded as high tide hits that back bay in a couple of hours. That is why we have all of the schools up and down the shore opening a couple of hours later today, guys. Yeah, we are getting that slowly. We can hear that wind against microphone. Steve, thanks.

Im an uber driver. I was picking up some folks dropping them in medford from the airport and getting here through this detour i went about 15 minutes into the neighborhoods and came right back out. That was, you know, going both ways. This is me going back to the city right now. Yes. Reporter they have restored service to more than 34,000 customers since yesterdays storm rolled through, this morning that number is much lower.

Crews wrapped up their work for the most part on the westbound side, reopened one lane of traffic there all of these repairs, of course, happening right before the morning rush so that would be good news even if there is a slow creep alex and thomas of trying to get to that.
