argument, shan, the fair labor practices act. do they have a shot? they do. and in fact, not only do they have a shot, poppy, but they previously have won. right. the same law firm had filed a lawsuit over the 2013 shutdown, and the court agreed with them that the employees should have been paid. and they got double overtime. i think they have a very good shot here. it s such a commonsense notion. people should be paid for their work. the fact that you re a so-called essential employee, the way i was in the justice department, a lot of times law enforcement people are deemed that. they have to come to work anyway. that doesn t mean you shouldn t be compensated for your work. it s particularly painful around the holidays. no question about it. i m glad you bring up the 2013 example. i didn t know it was the same law firm that led that, but they won. it was the obama administration at that point. the obama administration sought to have that case dismissed. the court disagreed wit
some insulated blinds on here and some insulated curtains. reporter: that could be a big cost savings. it could be significant. reporter: all right, so, this is the garage. next, a fix for that garage letting in cold. those are big gaps up there. we want to potentially add some insulation to this ceiling, and we want to really create a buffer between the room above and this cold garage that we re standing in now. reporter: finally, consider investing in a smart thermostat. these thermostats have sensors that can be placed around your home, and those sensors will help the heating system know where you are in the house at all times. and it ll send heat to those rooms. reporter: and david, be sure to check with your utility company. many have incentive programs with rebates to help cut the costs of those smart thermostats. david? all right, rebecca, thank you. when we come back, the urgent search for a missing son tonight. the plea for help after an argument over his gra
it s very important that they follow the evacuation warnings that have been issued. we re expecting anywhere from 10 to 12 feet on the latest forecast of a storm surge, and that is deadly. you re not going to be able to outrun it or outdrive it. and so it s very important that while people still have time, even tonight and with the daylight hours tomorrow morning, that if they have not yet followed evacuation instructions, that they do so. services may not be available to them if they call 911. there s chances of rain in some parts of north carolina, south carolina, where we can see 3 to 5 inches of rain per hour. that s blinding rain. and it s going to be impossible to drive through and navigate so that s our biggest concern right now, that we protect as much life as possible to follow the instructions to evacuate. yeah, getting out early. in fema s after action report on the 2017 hurricane season, it says quite a lot, including this. fema leadership acknowledged that the agency cou
your house with 8 feet or 10 feet of water is probably a little bit irrelevant if you re in there. so we want you to get out of the way. we want to make sure that everything we re doing is getting everyone the best information they can and like i said, that is the message is that they ask you to go, please go. paul, we re seeing some video from noaa of what it s kind of like. can you just describe what it s like to be up there? well, so, you know, a lot of times times, the views are actually incredible, things you don t see in everyday life but you can t forget for too long that you re out here to collect the data and do the best job we can and like i said, kind of hope that we can find some good news, but it can be bumpy at times. some points are a little sporty. it s a little different being at a 45,000 feet on the noaa g 4 versus the g-3 in the eye wall but each system is unique and just i go home and i hope i
and how it s performing. so you can spend more time floating about on your inflatable swan. [ding] low-lying areas that they could be in grave danger. and that covers a large portion of the state. i want to go back to tom sater at the cnn weather center with this. tom, this storm is going to bring a lot of rain, and very quickly, as you ve talked about. what areas, then, are most vulnerable? well, this is one of the most vulnerable spots in the entire u.s. i mean, with that low-level land, the marshy land conditions, of course, the barrier islands, you have the intercoastal. i wanted to show you the track pause we were talking about it, it could stay offshore, but they want to bring it in friday afternoon. some of the models, kate, that are just north of these numbers bring it in friday morning. but they, too, give us a cone of
