It could cause huge problems and billions of dollars in damage along the east coast. Lets get right to it tonight. Hurricane sandy fears, gary mcgrady is in the weather have to begin our storm coverage. Thanks, will. This will be a high impact storm all up and down the east coast. Well go right to the satellite picture to show you. It doesnt look very organized here. As a matter of fact, it has been weakening just a little bit over the last several hours. Its encountering strong winds aloft. We call that wind sheer and that tends to buffet the storm around a bit. Winds are down to 90 miles an hour. Movement has slowed dramatically. Now its moving north, north we have at 13 miles per hour. The pressure is up just a little bit at 968. This is the track r the National Hurricane center. This will take us through the weekend. Not much has changed here from earlier from 5 00, but subtly a few things have changed now and thats when you bring the storm up into making landfall in the northeast. It is looking increasingly more likely now that this storms greatest impact will be from the delmarva right up to providence and at least the New England States and by compact were talking about a little bit of everything. I dont want you to concentrate so much on the red line there. However, the center of this track is through new jersey. It may have shifted a little bit more down to the south and to the southwest and that does not bode well for new york city, for manhattan, those highly Populated Areas there. Philadelphia comes into play with this as well. If you look at this and if this is a perfect forecast, its probably not this far out, but i think were beginning to get a good idea where this storm is going to go, we are still on the southern end of that which means we wouldnt get the highest wind, we wouldnt get the heaviest rain and we probably wont get the greatest effects from this storm. Basically were talking about high wind, a great deal of beach erosion, very high surf along with a storm surge more than likely high tide and an astronomical high tide. So the flooding will be a little greater and, of course, there will be flooding rain and you mentioned snow, will. Theres colder air to the north and west, so the Higher Elevations will get some snow out of this, no snow here for d. C. Higher elevations and snow could be a silver lining, gary. Utility companies are preparing for sandy. Bg and e is planning for hundreds of thousands of potential outages by putting workers on standby bringing in at least 500 workers from other states. Utility Companies Say theyve learned lessons from past storms that will help them reduce damage and recovery time. Hurricane sandy is now pounding the bahamas and leaving a deadly path behind. Cuban officials announced 11 deaths from the storm. Foxs phil keating is in miami with the latest. Reporter Hurricane Sandy now threatening the entire east coast of the united states.

Weve opened the office of Emergency Management situation room already and the nyc coastal storm plan was activated early this morning. Reporter officials in the northeast preparing for the storm and relying on Lessons Learned from last years hurricane irene. You saw in irene we didnt move a lot of people out of seniors homes and hospitals and if necessary, were prepared to do the same thing. Reporter Hurricane Sandy has already ripped through jamaica and cuba and now its in the bahamas. Heavy rain and strong winds damaged many homes, knocking down power lines and upreceipting trees. The cuban government uprooting trees. The cuban government said more than 50,000 people evacuated before the storm made landfall. Terrorrelated hearings are to be delayed at u. S. Base in guantanamo bay. The storm did kill four people in the caribbean. For the rest of thursday and through friday the entire east coast of florida from key largo up to jacksonville will be feeling Hurricane Sandy, but only as a tropical storm, a lot f wind, waves and outer bands of rain and from there sandy marches north.
