b.a.r.t. early and they go home early. so if the protest is planned at 5:00, there is a big rush at about 4:00 on b.a.r.t. of course this ends up affecting community -- muni because muni shares some

damage from irene was less than feared. carter evans joins us live from the new york stock exchanges, which was able to open for trading as usual and there was a chance it might not. >> reporter: right. so the new york stock exchanges opened here, opened for business as usual. they said that on friday. but i know a lot of people were really questioning that over the weekend. now it appears at least the storm just grazed is in new york city. grazed us in new york city. the nasdaq is up 2%. the dow up 1.4%, up 163 points, essentially and the s&p 500 up 1.7%. we got a report today on personal income, up 3/10ths, personal spending up 38/10ths. the highest number in five months. that's really good news. and concern about the european debt crisis and optimism over irene not causing as much damage as first thought. >> so if trading is kind of thin -- trade something thin on wall street. a lot of people can't get into work. the subway system is up and running. that's having an impact as far as storm-related stocks, i have a few to show you here. of course, you would be thing insurerrers now with hurricane irene. the damage total up to about $7 billion. so why are these insurers are up today. all state up 6.5%. travelers up almost 5%. aig up 4%. the reason, they really beat down last weekend. i think people are relieved today that the damage isn't as significant as first thought. another thing i want to show you who else benefits after a storm and before a storm, too? home depot, lowe's, walmart, target. these are all companies that benefit after a storm. you are buying up supplies to board up your home and you are buying supplies to fix things. home depot, the only one on the decline but essentially flat today. tori? >> all right. carter everythingens live for us at the new york stock -- carter evans live for us at the new york stock exchange. president obama is holding a conference announcing his nomination for economic advisers. company on down here -- come on down here. he's one of the nation's leading economists. in two years of this administration, as we were dealing with a crisis that threatened a second great depression. allen's council at the cheap trashierry department appeared invaluable -- treasury department appeared invaluable. i look forward to working with allen. it will be tough to fill the shoes of austan goolsbee. i have no doubt that he will take over as a member of the team. i rely on the team to provide data baited on the best evidence, not on politics. and that's more important than ever right now. we need folks in washington

moved away from the northeast u.s. it's into canada. it's left behind major flooding and that's causing major new problems. take a look at this home in pompton lakes new jersey. firefighters couldn't get to it right away because it's surrounded by flood waters. the crews ended up getting in boats to fight the flames. it's believed a gas main break caused the explosion and the fire that resulted, luckily no one was hurt. irene is still causing more flight cancellations at san francisco international airport. three flights scheduled this morning to the new york area airports have been cancelled. even though those airports back there are open again airlines are needed to get the planes and their flight crews in place. two other flights to charlotte are also cancelled because of irene. how much of a delay are you experiencing? >> possibly eight hours. >> eight hours. >> what is your plan now as you are walking down the hallway. >> try to get out of stand-by. >> the passengers

demonstration and so are b.a.r.t. riders. this is the first time that we've had dueling protests, the movement being called taking back b.a.r.t. commuters -- commuters are upset with anonymous which has had protests over the last several weeks. but anonymoused riders say the ride -- anoun miss riders -- anonymous say the riders' protests are not warranted. >> b.a.r.t. is inconveniencing commuters when they don't have to. >> reporter: we spoke to one mother who said she understands why commuters are speaking out against anonymous. she relies on b.a.r.t. and gets charged $5 every minute she is late from school. you can imagine if i'm $15 -- if i'm 15 minutes late, that's a lot of money for standing in line for trying to get through a big group of people. >> the anonymous protesters have been angry about two things. first an officer-involved shooting of a homeless man back in july. and second cutting -- cutting off cell phone service on august 11th. all of these protests should be

disaster managers were warning congress that the nation's disaster relief fund was running low. now as eight states report significant damage from the hurricane, president obama is promising governors and mayors, the federal government will provide the help he needs. here is what he said just about ten minutes ago. >> as i said yesterday, we're gonna make sure folks have all of the support they need as they prebin it -- as they begin to assess and repair the damage left by the storm. that's gonna continue in the days ahead. it will stake time to recover from a storm of this magnitude. >> now the question is will congress have to okay an emergency bill to pay for what could be billions of dollars in damage from hurricane irene. fema has already temporarily suspended some payments in states impacted by recent tornadoes in order to deal with the hurricane damage. president obama is expected to ask congress for more disaster relief funding that is likely to provoke a very big fight with republicans who were already demanding spending cuts in other areas to pay for it. reporting live from washington, d.c. alison burns, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you. 8:16. republican presidential
