Light tomorrow. now we have probably i'm guessing now close to a million people, if not more than that, in this state without power. more than 500,000 of them are in the city of new orleans. there's no power here chld and there's lots of power out in surrounding parishes in baton rouge and places like that. so this becomes another problem. the one blessing is it's a little bit cold right now. if you've been out in the rain with a few hours it's cold. but it's cool, we don't probably have heat issues in people's houses overnight. but this could now be three or four days. until this wind drops d...

From the center of houma where some of the emergency crews can finally make their way out. what we've been experiencing for the past several hours now are severe winds topping 100 miles per hour that have been just barreling down on houma relentlessly. around me you can see some of these downed trees. at the beginning when we were doing live reporting out here, pamela, i initially stood over there. then the trees started coming down in that direction. we started seeing debris coming from -- we can't even figure out coming from where, so we had to move from that particular position to where i'm...

Now, you can see it starting to make its way here in laplace parish. that's where the strongest winds will be for this system. yes, it's been downgraded, the impact, so they're still very much the same. i want to zoom into our radar. you can see the bulk of this moisture, what we call feeder bands starting to make its way across new orleans. so that's what ali is starting to see. the problem that i have with this, this is the bands making their way across lake pontchartrain. so we could see some torrential rain that they don't need. so the storm surge is definitely going to be up. and we'll wa...

Generators. all of our generators are working. they're powered up our pumps. so far we've been able to keep one the rain. god forbid, we lose some of our generators here in st. bernard, because we have to pump our water out. but that's not a concern of ours right now. the big concern is the power. the big power is post storm injuries or death. there is a lot of power lines down, a lot of trees down. we want our citizens to stay inside where they're at, where they evacuated to. and please wait to heed the advice of our officials who will do an assessment early in the morning. hopefully by noon ...
