Island for us. Chris. Reporter fred, good to be working for you today. Were in East Hampton on the southern shore of long Island Right off New York. Were here because this was the fear of Concern Path early on, a beach front community, reminiscent of Super Storm sandy. Did not happen, not going to happen. That was a hurricane that bounced off New Jersey and then came here. New york will not be directly impacted by this. There will be flooding. We do have some Power Outages. Now its about time, this storm. As fred was laying out to you, there is a stall. Why . Because when storms go over land, they slow down and can change direction. Henri has been the storm, if youre going to characterize it, as the storm that couldnt make up its mind. Its been changing paths. It hitting rhode Island And Newport is very different from where it originally made landfall which is the tiny island of block island. A thousand san, maybe 2,500 people in season, a beautiful place. Its hard to get to. Well be Hearing Stories about what happened there. Youll want to listen for that. For the rest of us, its going to be about duration. Youre going to hear about this storm and where it is, pockets of flooding and what that means for people afterwards, the vulnerable, the elderly, the Heat And Humidity that could last days afterwards. If there are Power Outages, that becomes a significant concern. For here they have different shots. This is where i live in East Hampton. You have a lot of locals checking it out. Thank god its a day to observe and not hunker down and hide. The outer bands are circling in counterclockwise fashion here. There will be rain. There will be exposure in New York and in different areas for hours to come. In terms of intensity, you have to move up into New England. Connecticut and newport, Rhode Island, where it originally made landfall. We saw gusting there 50plus miles an hour. That could make a difference especially in a season of peak foliage. Derek Van Dam is there in newport. Whats the latest . Reporter chris, you make a really good point. Vulnerability. This is the concern going forward, over 75,000 people without power in the state of Rhode Island, over 100,000 across New England. The potential for temperatures to soar into the middle and upper 80s as we head into the rest of the next 24 to 36 hours, that has the potential to impact. Last week i was in the great lakes. We had severe storms come through. We were without power for four days. A huge impact. This Area Yesterday was concerning to me. There were thousands of people here. This is high Tourist Season within this part of New England. People flock to this area, almost acting as if there wasnt a tropical Storm Or Hurricane approaching the region. Im not exactly sure where all those people went. They bunkered down in their hotels, their airbnbs. People Coming Out to Check Out the scene, to make sure there wasnt any major damage. Aside from the odd tree thats fallen along the coastal areas. Its probably more turbulent where you are. You talk about the potential for more pourt outages going forward. You hit the nail on the head. Those trees with full foliage will act like a sail, just like the sailboat behind me. Strong gusty winds that are over 50 miles per hour still in Rhode Island will topple trees quickly. The potential for more Power Outages going forward. The rain has come to an end. Ive shed my rain gear. Its the wind and the Power Outages that will be the concern going forward. Chris. Derek, look, when were not dealing with the direct aspects of the storm, its hot. Its hot and humid. Its summer still. Thats something these communities will have to deal with, especially if there is flooding. Youre right, make yourself comfortable. Ill check back with you. You know how to get me. Ill come right back to you. Thank you very much. You and the team stay safe. Here in Long Island, when you go thats whats on my hat, its Long Island, not a fish. At the end of Long Island you will see montauk. We were worried about montauk when henri made its secondary shift. Its a vulnerable area. Shimon prokupecz is there and has been watching Big Surf and wind. How is it now . Reporter chris, this is probably the driest ive been all day because The Rain has stopped. I had been out here since about 5 30, raining for about six hours straight which doesnt include The Rain overnight Last Night into this morning. Some of that rain, of course. The six hours straight it did rain. Now even the water has calmed, chris. When i was here this morning, the surf was just the size of the waves was so remarkable. At some point about nine feet, possibly more, some folks were reporting. Its much different out here now. People are starting to come out, trying to come see the waves. The lifeguards are still keeping them back, trying to keep people off the beach because its still not safe. Even in town i just went and walked through on the other side of our hotel here. Even there, some of the water we were seeing from The Rain that was pooling, that has started to subside. People are trying to enjoy their sunday. I can tell you its cool out here, but not like it was earlier when the wind was kicking up between about i would say between about 11 00 and 12 00, was probably the worst hour, when you could really start to feel the wind and The Rain. Certainly in town you felt it. Right around 12 00 when we first came on air, it started to subside. Things have certainly gotten better out here. Now people are trying to come out, Check Out, see whats going on, people spending the weekend here, still trying to enjoy whatever they can, chris. All right, shimon. Ill check back with you in a little bit. Its good to come out and enjoy, but be careful. When you test the waters, if you dont get it right, youll Risk Someone elses life who has to come out and save you. My wife is a Big Surfer, but not on a day like today. Lets go to Tom Sater. Help me understand something, as you often do. I thank you in advance for helping me understand this situation a little better. This storm made landfall, but has not seen as dramatic numbers as we expected. Why is that . Whats the explanation for what were not seeing . Thats a great question. This is going to be a little deceiving because, first of all, you look at an Infrom Red satellite imagery, its not very well organized. Its quite ugly and ragged. This is where you have to beware. Hurricanes dot the record books with extreme rain. However, every storm is different. Yes, we have these dark colors over connecticut, massachusetts. Thats the core of the winds. Tropical Storm Force winds extend outward from the Center 125 miles. So we still have a lot of terrible hours ahead of us. Mainly, the big concern i think is of rain. Now, it did make landfall as expected, about an hour ago i was on the air with you, expecting the national Hurricane Center would come out with a statement. At 12 15 in the afternoon, on the Southwest Coast of Rhode Island, thats where we had our landfall. Closest approach to montauk was 15 miles to the east. Surge was still a little bit of an issue. The biggest concern will be rainfall with Power Outages. Notice the Flash Flood Watch and the warnings. Whats happening on radar is very interesting. I want to start with this. These are the record numbers of rain amounts that each tropical system as affected New England. New York State had its wettest july on record. So did massachusetts. Many others are in the top five. We had the remnants of fred move through the area. Yesterdays record rainfall in New York city. Some of these could be broken, Daisy In maine, 1962. Floyd in new hampshire. These numbers are going to grow exponentially. You take these numbers and add another six, seven inches on top and youre in the recordbreaking category. Central Park Yesterday with the concert, everyone excited. 4. 45 daily was a record that stood since 1888. They also picked up a 24hour rainfall record, the most ever in one hour i should say, less than two inches. You add in these colors of yellow and orange and it will be quite staggering. This is where it gets interesting, all The Rain is on the western flank. We had our landfall in Rhode Island. You can see it now moving across connecticut. Rhode island is rainfree right now. Thats good news for Power Crews that can get out here where we have the Power Outages. Theyre not going to be able to get in the cherrypickers, but they can at least start clearing the roadways from the trees that have been uprooted or the branches that have fallen. A lot of times waiting a week or two, its about cleaning up the roads to get to the issues. Now we have an issue on the southwestern flank. Now that its made landfall, we need to start concentrating on individual communities where theyre going to see quite a bit of a mess. I want to point out, the southern edge of The Rainfall, notice it stretches across Long Island, right across New York city, all the boroughs, towards northern New Jersey and eastern pennsylvania. Why is it not moving to the south and why is this going to continue . Just to the south of this line in del marva, we have an area of low pressure, a midlevel low thats sitting and spinning. Its cut off. As it circulates to the south, counterclose wise we have a southerly wind, but its also enhancing the lift. Which means it will squeeze out tremendous amounts of rain in Long Island and New York city. The problem is, with it being so saturated in the last few weeks and months, the river banks are at the top. The Storm Drainage Flow already maxed out. With more Rain Fall on the way and the convergence to the south, this system, even though its moving, is going to start to put on the brakes. Sure we have winds. Theyre not going to snap trees in half, but Theyll Uproot because the ground is saturated. Then you add the energy from the center across New York state moving across areas to the northeast, the recordbreaking territory will lead to more Power Outages. This is all about the heavy rainfall. Chris, as this banks to the right here, its going to be almost a day and a half before it gets offshore. Thats a lot of rainfall. Every community has got its own problems in different areas of New England in the hours ahead. That is really, really interesting, especially because of the duration effect. Just for the acute concern here on Long Island where we are, what does that mean, best guesstimate at this point, tom, about time and amount of rainfall . Well, generally, you would think obviously when you look at the system circulating and spinning, it is going to move out. But this is where the brakes get put on. Its still a broad storm. Nobody is going to know a difference between a 75mileperhour Hurricane and a 65 or 70. As it circulates counterclockwise, the concern is wrapping around to the south with the convergence to the south, we could see a 24hour Period at least of nothing but moderate to even heavy rain in areas. Again, i cannot stress enough that the ground is taxed. It cant take any more. Not only are the there going to be pout outages. The weakest of storms knock out power for weeks on end. This storm looks terrible on satellite imagery. Its the individual kind of microclimates that are really going to cause some harm. This is something not to take lightly. I know its hard and we say that all the time. Were not trying to blow these systems up to something they arent, but when you start seeing little areas of communities getting inundated look what happened in west central tennessee yesterday. A staggering amount of rainfall, number of fatalities. Several still missing. If we have that kind of duration in this kind of a populated area, it could get really bad really fast. Tom, that is the right kwaugs. Thank you very much. I have the same feeling you do. People in certain regions where they thought they were going to get hit, its easy to go to sleep on the storm. We have a long way to go in terms of community to community watch. We have Suffolk County Executive steve balone. Steve, if you can hear me, he says the story of henri wasnt the intense wind we were worried about or the storm surge, visavis or concerns about Super Storm sandy. But the idea of Pocket Flooding saturations of rain over the next 10 to 12 to 18 hours, what does that mean for you . Right now, chris, were in the peak of the storm. We are seeing potential rain happening around the county. We are seeing high winds, particularly on the East End. We have seen on Fire Island where the Atlantic Ocean is hitting the dunes, the dunes are holding right now. We know were going to have an astronomical high tide. With those rains continuing throughout the day into the night and into tomorrow, we are continuing to urge caution. I know there is some sense of relief people have felt because this was downgraded from a category one to a tropical storm. Remember it was just a year ago when Tropical Storm Isias knocked out power. These storms can pack a wallop. They could be with us for quite a while. Thats our concern right now. New york reporting about 2,000 out of power, most of them in and around the city. Do you have any developing understanding of that or is it too soon . Its a little too soon. Again, this storm is continuing to develop here. We havent seen significant outages yet, but the concern is now with the amount of rainfall happening and the combination of the wind, we could see those outages increase. Particularly on the East End, you have a lot of new residents on the East End since covid who havent experienced storms like Super Storm sandy. Were really encouraging people, this is a sunday. Its a family day. Spend time indoors. Let the first responders be out there doing their jobs so we can get through this storm. Hopefully at the end of the day, it will be less than predicted. Certainly every community is going to be lagreeing with you. Thank you for looking out and doing the job. Not everybody is listening. This place is packed with people who want to look at the storm. If The Rain comes back heavy, theyll go home. Thank you very much mr. Bellone, let us know how we can help. This is a sneaky storm. Tom sater dropped some knowledge on people. It may seem mild. Dont drop your guard. Than, chris, well check back with you and with Tom Sater as well. Also breaking today, the desperate push to get people out of afghanistan.

Entry gates are now closed for the most part according to sources and families are being separated and sent to different countries. The u. S. Has evacuated 25,000 people since august 14th, mostly through military flights, but there remain thousands more trying to leave the country. Earlier national Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said the taliban has been warned not to enter with the operation. Were en giejing through Military Channels with the stall ban. The taliban are integrated with the haqqani network. They need to understand that americans and they need safe passage to the airport. If operations are interfered with, the united states will deliver and swift and forceful response. Cnn is at the airport in kabul and has this report. Reporter weve landed a few moments ago at kabul international airport and clearly the pace of evacuation are picking up. There are planes leaving regularly right now. Large numbers of evacuees getting ready to get on those flights. This is a group that are heading intricate tar where theyre hoping to either stay there or move on. Youre about to leave. What is going through your mind and your heart at the moment . Actually, i told this many time with others, that right now i have a mixed feeling. Being a journalist myself, im lucky enough to leave because of a lot of what exists here. Im also leaving a whole family behind, a lot of friends behind. Most importantly, my city kabul, ive been raised and born here, it seems im just taking one piece of my soul but leaving a lot of pieces back at home. Its really string. I dont know how to describe this. Am i happy, am i sad. With this government, with these rulers, im sure they will not leave us any space to be here. Reporter that must break your heart. Of course, certainly. That does, has already broken. Thats reality. Reporter your heart is already broken . Yes, yes, yes. Reporter good luck. Its not just the personal tragedies that are so heartbreaking here. Its the tragedy of afghanistan itself. For 20 years so many millions of people believed they would receive western support. They believed in the evolution of female education, of the arts, of cinema. They thought they had a future. Now that future is getting on aircraft and leaving. As one of the evacuees just said to me, afghanistan is seeing a total brain drain. Sam kiley, cnn, kabul international airport. A powerful look at the reality there. Coming up, President Biden is expected to address the worsening situation in kabul. Later today, were live from the White House. A miracle amid chaos. A mother went into labor on board a cargo plane.

Just a few hours from now President Biden is set to speak to the nation on the worsening situation in afghanistan and also address tropical Storm Henri as it hammers the northeast right now. Cnns Arlette Saenz is at the White House for us. What do we know about what will be set . President biden is set to speak around 4 00 p. M. From the Roosevelt Room where hell discuss both the efforts to evacuate americans and american allies from afghanistan along with preparations for tropical storm henry. The president this morning met with his national Security Team here at the White House. In fact, we saw just a short while ago general Milley And Secretary of state Antony Blinken both departing from the White House. The president was receiving an update on where those Evacuation Efforts stand and the Security Situation at the Kabul Airport. The White House this morning gave some updated numbers for the amount of people who have been evacuated from afghanistan over the course of the past day. Its been about 7,800 people. Half of those came out on u. S. Military flights, while the other half left the country on coalition flights. The Pentagon Today is also mobilizing 18 commercial airliners to help transport these evacuees. These flights will not be going into Hamid Karzai airport. Instead these planes will be used to transport evacuees who are already out of the country at different sites and bases. All of this is coming as the Security Situation at the Kabul Airport is constantly evolving. The Pentagon Defense officials have said theyve established alternative routes to Transport Americans and afghan allies to the Kabul Airport due to threats posed by isisk. Thats something national Security Adviser Jake Sullivan spoke to earlier today. Take a listen. The threat is real and persistent. Our commanders on the ground have a Ride Variety of capabilities theyre using to defend the airfield against a potential terrorist attack. Were working hard with our Intelligence Community to try to isolate and determine where an attack might come from. Its something we are placing paramount priority on stopping or disrupting. Reporter so those are some of the efforts that the administration is taking as the Security Situation on the ground is evolving. Now, also the White House announced that President Biden will be meeting virtually with leaders of the g7 on tuesday to discuss the situation in afghanistan. There has been some concern from some allies about the u. S. Handling and response to this drawdown in afghanistan. Additionally, President Biden a bit later today will also be talking about tropical Storm Henri. Today he authorized, he approved an Emergency Declaration for the states of connecticut and New York. He also did so Last Night for Rhode Island. Officials say he is constantly being updated on the trajectory of this storm. Yesterday he spoke with governors from northeastern states to relay the federal response that is under way ahead of that storm hitting. In just a few hours well hear directly from the president on both the Response And Handling of that storm and also that situation in afghanistan. Arlette saenz, thank you so much for that from the White House. A miracle amid the desperate escape from afghanistan. U. S. Medical personnel at Ram Stein Air base in germany delivered a baby in the Cargo Bay of ooh military flight carrying evacuees. The mom had gone into labor on the flight from qatar. When the plane landed in germany, Medical Personnel rushed in to help deliver the baby. Cnns atika shubert. I understand the pilot of the flight had to make some changes mid air to save the mothers life. Reporter thats right. She went into labor mid air. There may have been some complications. The Airplane Commander made the decision to descend in altitude to decrease the Air Pressure in the cabin. That may have saved the mothers life. Then, as we know, when it landed here at Rom Stein Air base, the 86th Medical Group rushed in with an obstetrician and two other Medical Personnel, they were able to safely deliver the baby, but in the Cargo Bay of that plane. Now the mother and the Baby Girl are safe and healthy at the local hospital here. Finally some good news for at least one family, fred. Thats an extraordinary story, huge glimmer of hope.

Joined by the Mayor Jerry Larson hes actually my mayor. Im his constituent. We were worried about what this could be. What has been the experience so far in terms of what youre hearing and what your concerns are . We were definitely really concerned by the track of the storm. Thankfully it went further east and we really havent seen much of anything. A little bit of rain, little bit of wind, some high surf. No Power Outages, no trees down. Really missed a Big One here. Were happy about this. The talk of stalling of the storm, rain for 12 to 16 hours, do you have any concerns going forward . I really dont as long as we dont get the high winds. I dont think well lose the big trees. Whenever you lose the trees, you lose the power. Were finishing up a big summer here, so we can finish strong. Were really happy we avoided this whole mess. You got everything you need from the Power Companies that do any work that needs to be done. Thats what i should have mentioned. Pseg has been unbelievable. They have a huge contingency of trucks at our local airport. Theyre ready to go. Everyone has been great through the storm. I want to thank all of our volunteers. I dont know if you know, but most of our Fire Departments and ambulance crews are all volunteers here. Without them we would be nowhere. Thanks to all the volunteers for doing everything they do. Mayor came out here and it started raining on us. Mayor jerry larson, thanks very much. Thank god it was a nonevent. Let me get you out of The Rain. Thank you. This is East Hampton. We were really worried here. Why . Super storm sandy and the track of henri and the reminisce sense of it being a full Moon And Moon tide which exam rates your up and your down. There was a mass exodus out of this area. People were getting everything they could do get ready. The state was sending all these different supplies everywhere. At this Point Weve gotten luke i can with one caveat. This Spitty Rain thats Coming Out, not a big deal. This is not a very spongy earth. Its had a ton of rain in july. Six, eight, ten, 12 hours of rain that gets heavier for periods of 30 to 90 minutes at a time, what will that mean in terms of pockets of local flooding, and what will that do in terms of power, in terms of creating communities of need, especially the elderly. Remember, the storm passes. You had flooding. You have some things fall down, you have some Power Outages or youre just isolated. Now you have Heat And Humidity that can last days without air conditioning, you can get into your Health Concerns there. That is a Sub Stack of the story of this Storm Henri. In New York city Last Night, just one of the outer bands early on from the storm gave an historic Rain Occasion in central park. We all know the story about the concert. So Brian Stelter decided to do double duty for cnn. After reliable sources, he got in the Storm Car and has been driving around seeing whats happening with the pockets of flooding in the area. Whats the latest . Were in lower manhattan. Well show you a couple of Cool Sites by the south street seaport. Well take the Roof Cam and show you where we are near the skyscrapers in lower manhattan. Ill try out the remote control. Something called an Aqua Fence on some of the buildings. Youll see this blue fence surrounds the building, surrounds the drugstore, surrounds the starbucks. Its meant to keep water out in case the East River did overflow its banks into lower manhattan. However, thats not hang. Theres no sense thats going to happen. This does seem like the city has been spared by the tropical storm. That said, though, there is a Flood Advisory issued by the national Weather Service, specifically for brooklyn and queens for the next couple hours because of a heavy Rain Band you can see from the Roof Cam is having a real impact on the city. I was thinking as i was about to talk with you, chris, im glad i fixed the gutters on my house in New Jersey Last Night. There is a real Flooding Story in New Jersey. The national Weather Service says flooding is on going between 195 and 78. Because of the Rain Band overnight and into this morning, some areas have recorded over eight inches in counties like middlesex and mercer. These different spots where they end up in heavy Rain Bands, theyll see significant flooding. We do know thats going on in parts of jersey. This reminds me, this storm in some ways, of Hurricane Irene ten years ago. I was in North Carolina when that hurricane made landfall. The biggest story of irene, the biggest memories were in vermont, in New England, because of saturation, because of flooding along the rivers and streams of New England. This may be a similar story where flooding becomes a big headline a few days from now. Back to the Roof Camera, youll see sandbags as we drive by the south street seaport, some businesses putting out sandbags. The good news, no water Coming Up from the East River. I guess this is one of those days where no news is good news for New York city. This is one of those days where youre just standing in The Rain, and while that is a dumb thing for most people to do, it is good just to let people know this could have been a lot worse. Brian, thanks for going around, seeing the different pockets of situations. During Super Storm sandy i was where brian is. When we were down there by the south street seaport, the tide came in so fast, the surge was so huge and exaggerated, that we got trapped down there. I was with a famous Weather Man named sam champion, and we were stranded on a Little Island of land in southern manhattan on the western tip of manhattan for 16 hours before the waters receded and we could get out. We wound up doing good Morning America from right there. Brian, thank you very much. Now, i want to go up into boston. They have had floodwaters testing the harbor there. Evan, whats the latest from where you are . Reporter chris, here at the Long Wharf where weve been all morning, the water has not come over yet. As you can see, it would really like to. This is a part of the city that does flood in these big storms. A few years ago there was feet of water where im standing right now. This Storm Hasnt done that. People have prepared for a lot of things, not happening in boston fortunately. The wind is starting to pick up. You can see it on me, you can see it behind me. You can see the windmill over there just spinning away. This is one of the things people were concerned about, trying to prepare for potential Power Outages with Power Lines going down. For now, things in boston, The Rain has calmed down. Besides the wind, things are chilled out, to the point that weve seen people Coming Out of their houses. I saw a group of people in ponchos, Segue Riders taking the Boston Segue tours. Boston are still in the middle of this thing. Theres more that can come. Weve seen Flight Delays and cancellations. People are still worried about what can happen when the Waters Rise and the winds come in. For now seg gays. Later, well see. Listen, it is great to monitor the situation. Thank god we havent been dealing with the kinds of catastrophes that can happen. Not to hype the situation. Weve heard from the meteorologists, the wetness, the water is on the western and southern aspects of this. With the stall, youll see different communities having to deal with pockets of flooding. The problem with that is you have Heat And Humidity that will be on the back of the storm for days. Thats a health concern. Ive seen that go very wrong very quickly in many parts of this country. From here, well keep watching the southern band. Pretty much this is the most ive been able to show you since weve been here. The surf is basically sitting down.
