we hope most of our residents did, they re hunkered down away from the wind, away from the storm surge. but we do fear there is some catastrophic damage out there that we re going to see come morning time and come when the winds abate. what s the power situation? are you still experiencing power loss there? absolutely. we have, you know, somewhere around 95%, 98% outages in charlotte county. it s to be expected with storm that has winds as strong as ian does. and obviously much of the population in charlotte county is concentrated close to the shoreline. what s the storm surge like? it remains to be seen. we re in the dark now. we haven t been able to monitor the storm surge levels. i hope it did not reach that catastrophic worse case scenario. but i fear we re preparing for that regardless. our hope is that the impacts aren t as bad as we fear, but it may very well be.
out. blizzard conditions making those roads obviously really dangerous at the end of the day. and to make matters worse, thousands of people from maine to michigan and eastern canada still don t have power. after last weekend s big ice storm, that s a long time to be without power. especially in these temperatures. they re trying to keep everybody warm. so, you know, a lot of people have plans. they go out and enjoy something. having a few drinks. they want to get out and celebrate. to celebrate the new year. let s check in with alexandra steel for a look at the forec t forecast. who is dealing with what? hi, everyone. good morning. this is really where it s the worst. wind chill warnings. we re going to see and field wind chills today up to about 50 degrees below zero. currently in fargo and minot, walking out the door on this sunday morning, it s like 30 degrees below zero. that s what it feels like. so we re going to see the winds abate. the temperatures will come up. certai
hurricanes are not a constant thing. they re just like a thunderstorm. you can push in and have the strong winds and they about knock you off your feet. that s not a smart thing to do. some surfers and swimmers with boogie boards are going back out into the surf. that s not wise to do either. this storm is not over. the big rain event moved on to further new england, down here in the coast they are still concerned about storm surge. here comes an electric utility truck, they are surveying the damage. the winds are too high to put up the buckets many pockets without power, up the coast, up towards providence. the power company will try to get on that as soon as winds abate. it s interesting, just looking around and behind you, the people walking up, trying to get on tv, i guess they feel better now that the situation has gotten look at this guy. the situation is better, i see
hit. this hurricane will be a direct hit on long island, albeit one that s a little less in force in terms of wind. low-grade hurricane winds. but the water and the tidal surge will be immense. and we ll see what kind of effect that has. there have been nassau county. it s not known how many people responded to those orders and actually left. we know a lot of people did stay. the lack of total devastation or even significant devastation in its travels up the coast made the decision to stay and take their chances. a lot of people who own these boats left the boats in the water instead of attempting to haul them out hoping for the same thing, that the worst would not happen, that they d escape with just a lot of water, a lot of anxiety, maybe some expense trying to take care of their property as much as they can, hoping that by the time this thing is over sometime late tomorrow afternoon when the winds abate down to normal levels of 20, 30 miles an hour for the back end of a storm they
