wilmington, north carolina. we are now underneath the outer eyewall of the storm as chad myers told us. that means the rain is just pou pouring down on us and the winds picked up. we are expecting winds of 90 to 95 miles an hour here in wilmington. we have picturing coming in from all over the city -- we have pictures coming in from all over the city. you see the verocity of the storm. this is the cape fear river. this looks like a sea with the white caps and water pouring off the river right now into my face if i turn around. i can barely turn around because the force of it is so strong. to be clear, as ferocious as the wind is, this is not the real problem of the storm. it is the surge and the flooding. it is a crisis situation north of where i am in new bern county
