parts are expected to intensify over kentucky and other parts. and we go to kate blair where they are cleaning up. yes, tamron, they are cleaning up, and here is why. we have major hail damage in blair which is north of omaha, and the forecast is really calling for the more rain this afternoon and more thunderstorms in the forecast, and when you have damage like this, and what you see behind me, the windows busted out, you can have the potential for more water intrusion, and problems, so it is not just a problem with the bust busted out busted out houses, but we are talking about the every house on this street. every building, you have got it. every house in this town has the siding completely chipped off of it, and not the mention the firehouse, and all of the windows are out there, and so what they are doing about the cle cleanup today is the problem is that they may have to do it again tomorrow, and what they don t clean up today is going to be soaked that. i were soaked in omaha
let me show you what s going on in scope here. take the camera down to point pleasant beach where mike seidel is, and where we ve had the wave action come in. enough so they had too use a lot of heavy the beaches. what would normally be a little wave action and one to three feet has a chance of causing fuher erosion and wash out and even bringing the water up to some of the homes. they ve been spend issing 24 to 36 hours trying to shore up thake sure we don t get any more water intrusion. that s the first thing. second thing is, we got snow in new york city coming down right now. light snow reported. a camera from a ban of snow up into southwest connecticut that could rotate down right over new york city and produce heavier area of snow. the national weather service in new york has upgraded that area to a winter weather advisory. one to three inches on the grassy areas and in some of the building tops is not out of the question here. in trenton, we ve got a mixture
maybe isolated amounts to 20 inches leading to serious flash flooding. i m worried and you are like every american, the big waves getting to the louisiana coast and mississippi coast and alabama coast and hampering the efforts of the oil containment. booms are not effective when what kind of waves might they see in south mississippi, lower alabama? well offshore we re anticipating as much as eight to ten foot swells. we re fortunate the storm didn t go in there but it s causing curtailment of the offshore activities. i m not aware of the impact on land but the elevation of the tides alone mean areas that otherwise weren t getting water intrusion with the oil on it will experience some of that. a long, hot summer for them. good luck, i know you ll be busy.
