>> you know, it's been interesting. we talked to a lot of people who said they are going to stay here as long as they physically can, which is about right now, but they're discovering the stores are closed, food is starting to run out, gas is starting to run out in the area and that started as early as last night, we noticed, so i think people are getting out and there is this mandatory evacuation. locals are not playing with this. they're taking this seriously and they're saying that they're going to get out at least to wooded areas, areas that are west of route 1 for people familiar with here and that is the main road going up and down the beach. >> hopefully the tourists will take the queue from the locals out there. stay safe. thanks for the update. stories all over our area are packed with people grabbing up supplies. bottled water already very hard to find so are batteries and beth parker hits the hardware store in silver spring is to see -- to see what is flying off of the shelves there. >> reporter: with 30 or 40 miles per hour winds and umbrellas not going to cut it. even the supermini umbrella. some people are investing in ponchos and have been filling this rack more than usual. the really hot commodity here in silver springs is a flashlight and a sight of batteries. take a look. all of these racks are empty. >> right evacuations underway there. the transit system is shutting . down and we'll have more in thet live report coming up next. ouutceet >> hurricane irene is causing extraordinary disruptions today as it zeros in for a catastrophic run up the eastern seaboard. we want to look at preparations for the storm in northern virginia. and david mckearn apis the director of the fairfax management agency and is with us tonight. i know it's a busy time for you. thank you for being with us. >> a very busy time. >> what is happening right now with the preparations?

how are you telling residents to prepare? they need to be prepared. the storm itself, a tropical storm warning for fairfax county. so we have wind, we have rain potential. and see we have to be prepared to be without power for awhile. have food, water, and medications of up to three days. >> and will water and ice be available for residents after the storm passes if we lose power for a long time? what are you planning for after the storm? >> we're going have to wait and see what occurs. if we lose power, we'll be able to help our residents. >> if you were a betting man, who would you guess will be the problems coming out of this? we'll have scattered power outages and some flooding. luckily the storm surge is coming up the potomac and appears to be a little less, so we're not too worried about fairfax county and the storm surge. >> okay, give us some things, some tips for residents. what can they do to prepare? you were saying they should be prepared. give us examples? any time you have a high wind, you want to bring outdoor furniture in and you want to make sure you have medications again for up to tee days. sometimes -- three days. with the power going out and the refrigerate is an issue, make sure you with have food on hand that doesn't require that refrigeration. >> and i would imagine the power companies are beefing up some resources?

>> reporter: yes, and it's not irene rain, shawn and laura. it's one of the only spots and i have my radar set up to show e reap. i will try to get -- irene, and i will try to get you to a live picture. it's a heavier downpour and loaded up the atmosphere with the humidity and it's not widespread but every on the direct. -- district. is it early? meanwhile, we want to show you the latest with the hurricane that it was slightly weaker with the 5:00 update and we are seeing not as wonderfully presented eye and it looks a little bit, let's say, disrupted here on the western side. perhaps some wind sheer getting in there with winds of 100 miles per hour. the big is that is a good sign that it's weaker and that is still a large storm moving slowly. what we do is a bowie tour here and see what is going on. this buoy over here has waves of 24 feet. so that is a real concern along the coast and winds are out of the north at 47 gusting to 60 as it now closes in on the outer bangs area and on the outer banks area and coastal areaine a. and here, we have away height of 24 feet and winds gusting to eight miles an hour and off of the coast of wilmington. the east winds at 39 and gusting to 26 and move to hatteras. the wins are not bad there -- winds are not bad there and we're seeing the winds a cross coastal south carolina and working toward the wilmington area. out here, way out, we have wave heights of 12 feet and water temperature at 81. on radar, i think you will be able to see what i'm talking about here as we see the heavy bands and the first ones coming into central and southern north carolina and also across south carolina. so, that is something we're going to continue to watch. i wanted to give you an idea of what we're expecting locally because while we do have a few showers around here this afternoon and evening, irene's biggest impact will be tomorrow and i believe saturday will deteriorate as we go through the day. the morning won't be too bad. the strongest impact far and away, though, is east of interstate 95 and in anne arundel county, calvert, santa mary's, where we have a hurricane warning and everyone else is under a tropical storm warning to the eastern shore and that is where we're going have the problems and out at the ocean. in the metro area, i expect we'll have sustained winds of 20 it 30 miles per hour. my biggest concern locally, folks, are the trees that topple down. we get that all of the time. in the afternoon and evening, winds are picking up and winds are gusting to 40 and 60 miles per hour and that would occur later in the day. i think everything is going to peak out here in the overnight hours and the rain will be anywhere from two to six inches with the heaviest east of 95 and there are some of you listening to me now who literally make it no rain out of it. the farther west you go. the wind and rain will peak, i think, some time at 3 in the morning and as we work into sunday, everything is going to start to wind down. shawn, another big story tonight as they put up hurricane warnings for new york city and martha's vineyard. we're glad the president is getting out of there. in a few minutes, we'll speak live with the national hurricane center and find out what their biggest concerns are with irene. >> thank you, sue. looking forward to that. developping right now in the district, hours of frustration for d.c. residents preparing for the storm. they waited in log, long lines to -- long, long lines to pick up sand bags. matt ackland is live there tonight. are things any better? >> reporter: shawn, they could not get much worse because they're basically out of bags at this point for the night. it's been such a busy day. they gave away about 7400 sand bags that they had trucked in from north carolina. there has been a line here all day and in the last 15, 20 minutes, the police who were organizing this, they told folks that they would need to go home and return here tomorrow. there are -- they're expected to be more in place tomorrow. the director of the department of public yorks -- works, how are you, bus day for you. what do you have to say to the folks who still need the bag? >> having 2700 more dropped off tomorrow morning and we're going to start up at noon tomorrow and distribute them on a first-serve, first-come basis. >> reporter: 2700, though, that is not too many. is there anying the way you can tell folks to prepare to keep the flood waters out? >> that is all we were able to acquire. were checking around and there is no more sand bags to be h. i think everyone along the east coast is trying to prepare for the storm and the good news is for d.c., it seems like it's the latest forecast, two to four inches and probably for d.c., if you don't normally flood, you're probably not going to have to worry about it. people want to be prepared if they can go out to a local home improvement store and get their own sand, that might be a way to prepare for this storm. >> reporter: have you been able to check this area? everyone probably wants sandbag those days. it's a hot commode im, huh in. >> we're go -- hot commodity, huh? >> we're going to home depot also. >> reporter: what areas are you concerned about when it comes to flooding. i am sure english basements are concerned. >> right. >> what areas of cities are most prone to flood something. bloomingdales. that area we have been cleaning the storm sewers along the streets. other low areas we're familiar with along canal road, we have been cleaning their storm sewers to make sure and working with the d.c. water to make sure that the water flows as smoothly as possible. >> and just to recap, about 3,000 bags from 2700 that starts at 8:00 in the morning. get here early if you want to get it. >> get here about 91 tomorrow and then -- about noon tomorrow and 2700 will be handed out tomorrow. >> what i'm concerned about is the tree damage. >> sure. >> and soggy ground, high winds it's a response to the tree damage is what i'm concerned about. i am less concerned about flooding and more concerned about the downed power lines and damage from trees falling over under things -- roofs and things like that. i know you're busy. thank you for your time. shawn, laura, that is it from here. everything started at noon today. they had a long line and we did talk to a bunk of folks -- bunch of folks who were upset. they talked about how it was not organized that well and they sat in line, sat in line and they got here and they were told that there were no bags left. so, get here early tomorrow. that is the only weighs advice and there is not -- that is the only advice and there is not many bags to be had. thank you. yeah. >> even though all eyes are on hurricane irene right now, the redskins are scrambling. don't miss who went down in the battle of the beltway. and might be out the rest of the season. . these sweet honey clustery things have fiber?

>> we here. >> we're going to be here or there, i'm not sure where. sue's there and is tracking the latest path of the storm. sue, catastrophic for this coastal area. i think the damage there would be more extensive than what we're going to see locally. it's not going to be a piece of cake, the one of the is tomorrow evening into the overnight hours and sunday. you guys mentioned something a couple of minutes ago, you're hearing rain here and this is still raining here. i wanted you to see radar quickly. we're getting a couple of showers around the region -- shower around the region. it's nothing terrible and you can see how heavy the downpours are already and this is what we're seeing in northwest and we expect to see a couple of showers today in advance of what will be the real tropical moisture tomorrow. they're moving in a difference direction for us, going from south to north and i think you saw a couple more here and that is not widespread. don't be shocked if we have a couple of showers around here and there tonight. over to our maps and you'll be able to see what we're talking about in terms of hurricane irene, the very latest on e rope as you heard just a bit going on, 265 miles south- southwest of hatterias and still a -- hatteras. still a category 2 storm. the big bands coming into the carolinas and the rain we seeing, a bit of a fore runner and not associated with e reap at this point. those nearest irene are over the outer banks where they will get the first landfall with irene. that is going to be during the day tomorrow. some good news about this, it appears to be a weaker hurricane, the very bad news is that it's a huge hurricane as we have been talking about. and it's so incredibly broad and the hurricane-force winds as well as the tropical storm- force wins go out for hundreds of miles n particular the tropical storm winds. in this region, we do have two types of warnings. we have a tropical storm warring and hurricane warnings. importantly, i want you to see that the bay and also saint mary's county does have the hurricane warning. the blue, those are areas with tropical storm warnings and out to the coast, obviously, ocean city, bethany beach, cape may and new york city does have a hurricane warning. that essentially means hurricane conditions are going to develop win about 24 hours. about this time tomorrow night, that is where we continue to see everything getting active. this is our tropical tracker and the latest. that is a category 2 and although looking at some of the discussions, perhaps helpful weakening happied and that is still a -- happened and that is still a slow mover and a large storm out of the north at 13 miles per hour. meanwhile, as we watch the track, you can see it's going to be moving across the outer wangs -- bangs tomorrow. it's going to be a category 2 and a category 1 across the outer banks and that will be tomorrow afternoon, moving on up the coast. it's a category 1 and crossing close to or just on the coast line there around ocean city. yesterday looked like it would be stronger and a category 2, that will help a bit. up to new york city it goes and maybe that it's going to be be a strong treatment going into the western portion of long e lap before continuing to move on up the coast. so, a big weaker and that will help as well. i think we need to be ready for the coast, category 1 hurricane conditions. that is what we're projecting. hurricane winds gusting to 70, maybe 90 miles per hour out there. a lot of rain and especially west of where the center crosses. six to 10 inches of rain possible. four to eight-foot storm surge is out there at the coast. in the bay, by the way, that will be a smaller, not like an isabel storm search and then extensive damage is possible with a lot of outages out there at the beaches. we talked earlier about the local effects, we have the tropical storm warning in effect though and we start to feel it tomorrow afternoon and evening and leave night. a few showers around for us -- overnight. a few showers around for us, thickening clouds and the showers around the region will be heavy. the tropical storm warning tomorrow, the wind is nixing, the temperature is 82. the wins northeast at 20 to 30 and at 8 in the morning, a lot of people are saying can i get stuff done? yes, you can. about 76 and light rain possible. winds out of the northeast at 10 to 20. by noon, the winds have gusted up and we starting to see gusts to 35 miles per hour. by tv :00, we're getting sustained wind -- by 5:00, we're getting sustained winds at 30 and 45 and continues with the stronger wind. what about the rain and timing for that?
