>> we do know that we have flooding in the rodanthe area. we think the beach towns are in good shape on highway 12. still waiting on one report from down at the very south end of the northern beaches, but water -- pretty good amount of flooding in the village of rodanthe. again, a very preliminary assessment. people are trying to look out windows and assess where they are standing at that time and once we get people out in the field. we'll -- we'll have a much better assessment. we haven't gotten a report yet from buxton village which is another area that -- that is prone to flooding on the highway. >> also heard reports of power outages, sir, a couple of your big power companies reporting some -- anywhere between 17,000 to 20,000 folks without power. obviously the hope is to get them back to having power as soon as possible. any word on that?
