After a stunning loss at the u. S. Open. Welcome, everyone. Afghanistans new rulers have yet to set up a formal government. And that has presented a small window for afghan women to publicly demand their rights be protected. But as you can see here, even the small demonstration was enough to provoke the taliban to break it up. The protestors demanding that the women be allowed to work, even as many women have already been forced by the militants to leave their jobs. They also insist on having a continued voice in the countrys affairs, especially on education and health. Meanwhile, that celebratory gunfire that broke out in kabul, after the taliban claim to have seized the rugged Panjshir Valley North of the capital. Resistance fighters who have held that valley for decades deny the taliban claim. Cnns Nic Robertson is following all of this for us from in islamabad. Good to see you, nic. First of all, what do we know about this continued resistance in the Panjshir Valley and what that fight means in the broader picture . Strategically, the Panjshir Valley has always been very difficult to defeat if youre an invading force. And right now, the taliban are the invading force. Um, they are doing sort of using the normal tactics that they have used, which is lay siege to a place. People inside the Panjshir Valley say the Phone Networks have been cut off. The powers been cut off. Um, they cant get fuel into The Valley because the the taliban are controlling the entrances to The Valley. What the taliban are doing and the videos that they are releasing which are part of what how they claim they are making gains in that valley seem to show them on some of the mountaintop heights, which are the key strategic areas to take to get into this Panjshir Valley. So the taliban say they are attacking from multiple directions around The Valley. We know that achmed masud, the commander of the forces in that valley has said he wont give up the fight. That he will fight to the death. We know the Formervice President is in that valley as well. He released short of a Sohort Video Statement yesterday. You have to when you look at this video, you have to say this is a guy who sort of, you know, aged visibly over the last few weeks. He he definitely looks um not as not as strong and robust as he looked several weeks ago when he was forced to sort of flee from power. But he also holding out there, also being very defiant. The national Resistance Front who are the resistance in Panjshir Valley um say that they are continuing to fight. That they can continue that they can hold out but that but at the moment, it does seem as if the sort of initiative is with the taliban. Both sides say they havent been able to agree at sort of a peaceful resolution. This is a battle, i think, michael, thats going to play out over over over several weeks. Yeah. A significant part of the country. Nic robertson in islamabad, appreciate it. Thanks, nic. President biden has tapped formerdelaware governor, jack markle, to lead the administrations Afghan Resettlement efforts. More than 40,000 evacuees, including Afghan Refugees have already been admitted into the u. S. Well now, were hearing from one of them. Cnn hes Brynn Gingras sat down with a formerafghan translator starting his new life in america, and worried for the family he left behind. Reporter this is the first day of a new life for zubai and shubano. This tine think one Bedroom Apartment in buffalo, new york, is their new home. I cant believe that i am here in united state. Sometimes, i am telling to my wife i am not sleep. She says, no, now you are wake up. Reporter it was just one week ago when zubair says he was living a nightmare in afghanistan. It was really bad. We were stuck at home. One minute is like one day. Reporter the former translator worked alongside u. S. Forces for four years. He applied for a special immigrant visa more than two years ago. Zubair was one of the lucky ones. It was granted just two days before the taliban overtook kabul. But zubair needed to get his family to the airport. He and his father both worked with the u. S. Government and they knew if they stayed in kabul, their lives would be in danger. Zubair was getting Text Messages from his friends who were also trying to escape. Says its like horror movies. He says the talibans are like zombies. What were you thinking watching this . I thought i cant get out. Reporter zubair says he was on his own. With visa in hand, he spent days trying to get himself and his family past the taliban with no help from the americans, he says. The taliban was behaving very bad. Most of them were were beating people. I was got get inside the kabul airport. Reporter but his father i leave them at the gate. The last thing i couldnt talk with him because i was to leave afghanistan. So you didnt even get to say goodbye . No. Reporter the couple fled with just these three bags. Leaving everything else behind. Family, friends, and former coworkers. A fellow translator says he was days away from getting his visa when the taliban took over. He is still stuck in kabul. He asked we not disclose his name or show his face for his safety. People like me. There are a lot of people like me who was working in the same company. We all left behind. So we are currently we are my family and my life is really in in great danger. Reporter his plea to the u. S. Government. My message to mr. President Joe Biden is dont leave us behind. Reporter zubair calls friends of his left behind, daily. He says his mom is too heartbroken to even speak with him but he keeps hope. I have hope that one day, come to the america and i see him here alive. Reporter in the meantime, he and his wife are starting over with help from a resettlement agency, Journeys End Refugee services, which expects to assist many more afghan families in the coming months. The couple says they feel safe here. They can, finally, Sleep And Dream about what lies ahead. The feeling that i will start living again. It looks like a mountain, very high mountain. Now, im looking how i can climb on this mountain. I should find a way. And we didnt disclose the last name of the couple for the safety of their family in afghanistan. Their families just like zubairs former coworker says they feel like Sitting Ducks right now. They say everyone knew they worked with the United States. Their community, their neighbors. And so, their lives are at great risk. Secretary of state blinken said on monday that the u. S. Is committed to getting these vulnerable afghans out of the country. But for these families, the Big Question is who is going to come for them first . The americans or the taliban . Brynn gingras in new york, cnn. U. S. President Joe Biden, meanwhile, vowing to Support Louisiana Communities Hit Hard by Hurricane Ida after surveying the damage, himself, On Friday. About 750,000 homes and businesses in the state are still without electricity, nearly a week after the storm made landfall. And Fuel Shortages are hampering Recovery Efforts. At least 13 people were killed in louisiana and mississippi. As the region starts to rebuild, mr. Biden promising to provide help as needed. Were in this together. And so, were not going to leave any community behind. Rural, city, coastal, inland. And i promise were going to have your backs till this thing gets done. Louisiana officials have launched an investigation, meanwhile, into the deaths of several Nursing Home residents. The States Attorney General says hundreds of residents were evacuated ahead of Hurricane Ida to a warehouse. Cnns Brian Todd with the details. Reporter wheelchairs and Hospital Curtains scatter the site of this remote warehouse where five Nursing Home residents died. This is a nightmare. Its a nightmare. Reporter local leaders now looking for answers for what went wrong. Nursing homeowner should be held accountable. As far as the investigation, um, we understand there is one. Reporter The Warehouse in independence, louisiana, served as a temporary Evacuation Facility for more than 800 patients from seven area Nursing Homes. The conditions inside were appalling. Crowding. Um, mattresses on floors instead of beds. Um, portapotties instead of bathrooms, and probably not enough of em. Just it was just things that none of us would want our Family Members to have to go through. Reporter and according to one patient who was inside, insects were crawling all over the mattresses. The Independence Police Chief says the facility was prepared for a certain number of residents, but the number nearly tripled quickly. But i believe that the corporate management planned for 350. They, for whatever reason, sent in 850. And where they failed was in not proactively seeking to move those patients to a appropriate facility. Reporter the 84yearold Mother made it out but she suffered with a 103degree fever. I could tell she was very upset but at least i knew she was alive. And if we would have known, it would have been a place like this, i would have took her with me. Reporter with no power, generators required to provide Patients Oxygen failed. And the heat was oppressive. The state says the Health Department tried to intervene tuesday when they heard about the deteriorating conditions. Ldh inspectors visited the site, and i will tell you were expelled from the property. And prevented from conducting a full assessment. Reporter cnn obtained Property Records showing Bob Dean owns all seven of the Nursing Homes, plus The Warehouse. Dean has a history of poor disaster management. A local investigation from nola. Com found he made a similar plan to evacuate residents to a warehouse during Hurricane George in 1998. I would hope that he his license for Nursing Homes is revoked. It would be the outcome that he doesnt get to do this again. Reporter the governor committed to a full investigation. A promise relatives will not let them forget. Why didnt you contact anybody for help . Let somebody know what was going on. Contact one person. People shouldnt be treated like that. You should be held accountable. Reporter we reached out several times to Bob Dean, the owner of the Nursing Homes and this Warehouse Facility for comment and any explanation for what happened here. He didnt respond to us but he did tell cnn affiliate, wvue, quote, we did really good with taking care of people. Brian todd, cnn, independence, louisiana. Going to take a quick break. When we come back here on Cnn Newsroom, the biden administrations plan to roll out Vaccine Boosters might have hit a snag. After the break, well find out why some people might have to wait even longer. Also, new information on that Terror Attack at a New Zealand supermarket. What were learning about the suspect, after the break. In 2016, i was working at the Amazon Warehouse when my brother passed away. And a couple of years later, my mother passed away. After taking care of them, i knew that i really wanted to become a nurse. Amazon helped me with training and tuition. Today, im a medical assistant and im studying to become a registered nurse. In filipino youll always be in my heart. My Dvt Blood Clot left me with questions. Was another around the corner . Or could i have a different Game Plan . I wanted to help protect myself. My doctor recommended eliquis. Eliquis is proven to treat and help prevent another Dvt Or Pe blood clot. Almost 98 percent of patients on eliquis didnt experience another. And eliquis has significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis is fdaapproved and has both. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial Heart Valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your Bleeding Risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Whats around the corner could be a different game. Ask your doctor about eliquis. Welcome back. We want to bring you some new details now On Fridays Terror Attack in New Zealand. The number of victims has been updated to seven wounded following the Knife Attack On Friday in an auckland suburb. Five people still in the hospital, and three are in critical condition. At a news conference, prime Minister Jacinda Ardern commended the quick action of police, and explained the difficulty in monitoring the attacker who was well known for his extremist views. At every turn, every legal avenue that was available um was utilized. And when it was no longer possible to legally have this person detained, that is when the police came in with their constant monitoring. But what you can see and overseas examples have demonstrated, also, that when you have a highlymotivated, lone actor like this individual, it is incredibly tough. For more, lets bring in Cnns Selina Wang joining me now from tokyo. So, selina, tell us more about what we learned about what happened and the man who carried this out. And a lot of questions about why he was even on the streets. Right, michael. We learned from the prime Minister Press Conference that the alleged terrorist was released from prison in july after every legal avenue was taken, she said, to keep him in custody. The attacker was a Sri Lankan national. The identity of the man cannot be revealed because of suppression orders. He had spent three years in jail, up until that point. He had been initially arrested at the Auckland Airport back in 2016. But the Prime Minister said that after he was released, he was under constant surveillance. Requiring Up To 30 Police Officers at any, one time because of concerns about his violent and extremist views. Now, police said that they were monitoring this man as closely as possible on the day, On Friday, when he went into that supermarket. As closely as they could have, without being detected. Police said that the attacker took a knife from the Supermarket Shelf and started attacking shoppers before the Police Shot and killed the man. Now, the Police Commissioner said that they did everything they couldve within the law, and the fact that theyve reacted within 60 seconds shows that fact. Now, michael, of course, New Zealand has been under high alert for attacks since that white supremacist carried out the attacks in 2019 on two mosques in christchurch. Ardern has emphasized that this attack was carried out by an individual, not a culture, not an ethnicity. Take a listen to how she ended her statements today. The last thought i will leave is for the imam who knows the impact better than anyone. He said, and i quote, all tyrists are the same, regardless of their ideology, they stand for hate. We stand for peace and love. We have it within our powers to ensure the actions of an individual do not create hate, judgment, and vit roriol. And, michael, last month, the government had discussed strengthening Counterterrorism Laws to make it illegal to plan a Terror Attack, whether or not it is carried out. Ardern vowed today to get that law passed as soon as possible. Michael. All right. Selina, thanks. Selina wang there in tokyo for us. Now, a white House Source telling cnn that the biden administration might have to scale back its ambitious Booster Plan. It was slated to roll out in a little less than three weeks. But now, it might include only one vaccine. Cnns Athena Jones with the details. Reporter confusion and possible Scaling Back of the White Houses covid19 Booster Plan for september. Less than a day after dr. Anthony fauci said i would not at all be surprised that the adequate full regimen for vaccination will likely be three doses. Reporter as the Delta Variant drives new covid cases in the United States to nearly 170,000 a day, on average, new data shows a third socalled Booster Dose of the Covid Mrna Vaccine provides more protection against the virus. Theres no doubt, from the data, from the israeli study, that the boosts that are being now down there and contemplated here support, very strongly, the rationale the rationale for such an approach. Reporter in making the case for boosters, fauci explaining israeli data shows they reduced the risk of infection by 11fold and of severe illness by tenfold in more than A Million people over the age of 60. Another study showed the risk of infection fell Up To 68 , 7 to 13 days after a third dose. And by as much as 84 after 14 to 20 days. Reporter President Joe Biden announced in late august this Booster Program is going to start here september the 20th. Pending approval of the fda and the cdc committee. Of outside experts. Reporter but federal health officials now warning the White House they may not have enough data on the Moderna Vaccine by then to recommend boosters for anyone other than Pfizerbiontech Vaccine recipients. You cant make announcement and then say well wait to see what the Fda And Cdc says. Reporter the Actingfda Commissioner explaining why the Booster Announcement was made before all the data came in. When it happens, we dont want to have a couplemore months where we have to get ready and make a plan, and then execute against the plan. Reporter and moderna announced friday it finished submitting its data on Booster Doses to the fda so iits unclef that data will be efficient enough to okay Modernas Vaccine boosters by september 20th. Athena jones, cnn, new york. Anne is a professor in the department of epidemiology at Ucla Fielding School of public health. She joins me now from los angeles. Good to see you. Um, i just among my own circle of people, there is confusion about boosters. I think its because it seems every other day, there is a report we need them. Then, another saying we dont need them. And then, another one saying we will, eventually. Whats your read on the data . Well, michael, i think that there is a lot of confusion because theres so much data that is emerging right now. And the messaging is a little bit confusing. So, what we know is that were seeing from several studies, and in particular studies from israel, that that were seeing Antibodies Decrease over time. And infections becoming more common. In particular, in older individuals who are having more severe disease. And that is a real indication of of having waning immunity. That the immunity to the virus is now decreasing over time. And and Thats Something that we had always said was a possibility. That we were giving two doses, a few weeks apart. And that there may be a need for a booster when we would start to see more cases coming over time. So so, i think that thats the real key here that weve seen evidence of waning immunity, in particular with the Pfizer Vaccine in israel. And and thats where this impetus to start boosting looking at countries that are ahead of us. So, what would you say to to people who um have two doses, so far, and no booster . What do you tell them if Theres Efficacy concerns . Well, what what i think there are a couple of pieces to to unpack here. The first thing is that we are talking about this as boosters. But really um what were talking about, in reality, is having a threedose vaccine. And and this is because we were starting to see the need for for a way to be able to keep these antibodies up. To be able to to really get a boost of neutralizing antibodies and this third dose is very likely going to provide longerterm immunity. We dont know for sure because this is still all, you know, ongoing. Were still learning about it but thats very likely and that is what we see, for example, with the hepatitis vaccine. And and so, its very likely that this is just a third dose to be able to boost your immune system. In terms of efficacy, these vaccines are all doing an excellent job of reducing severe disease, hospitalization, and death. We have to remember, you look at those numbers, who is being hospitalized . Who is dying . The vast majority of those people are unvaccinated. It is very, very rare for somebody who is vaccinated to have one of these very severe outcomes. So the vaccines are really holding up well. Its just that were starting to see a lot of these, what were calling, breakthrough cases. People who are fully vaccinated getting infected. But theyre not getting severely ill. So we have to really think about what do we want these vaccines to do . We want we want to keep people out of the hospital and from dying. Um, most importantly. But if we can really get ahead of this and give people boosters um or third doses to be able to prolong this kind of protection, thats a really great thing. Yeah. We already already seeing increases in cases in kids in areas with lowvaccination rates. So i mean, the the the the fallout from being unvaccinated, it couldnt be more clear. So, just just quickly, if if we do get these third doses, boosters, should it be with the same vaccines . And and should the timing be oriented towards more of what the variants are doing, whats out there, their effect, and so on . Well, i think that it its really about having this this third dose, you know, approximately six to eight months later thats going to provide this kind of longerterm immunity we we hope. You know, whether you get the the vaccine that you started with or not is really something we should be basing it basing on data. And right now, we dont have that data. We know, from these pfizer studies that were seeing, that the third dose of that Pfizer Vaccine is going to significantly increase the the antibodies and these neutralizing antibodies that will provide protection. But, you know, i think that these data these studies are ongoing. We are gonna have those data. And so, whether or not you want to mix and Max Match D messaging. Great information from you, though. Anne, thanks for clearing things up. My pleasure. Always a pleasure to be here. Quick break. When we come back, in a defiant show of dissent, afghan women fighting for their rights as the taliban consolidate power. But the future of afghanistan and the role women will play in it .

Now, in afghanistan, the absence of a formal taliban government has provided a small window for afghan women to demand their rights be protected. But fridays Public Demonstration In Kabul was not without serious risk. Cnns Isa Soares explains. Reporter A Small But Brave Band of women chant the right to work and go to school in talibanrun afghanistan. Translator they must make sure women participate in their government. Women form a majority of the population of afghanistan. If they are not prepared in areas like education, health, and politics and do not have a role in these areas in our society, so the world will not recognize us. They will not hear our voice. Reporter there is a brief confrontation between a talib and the women. 20 years ago, when the taliban last ran afghanistan, a protest like this would have been unthinkable. The women would have been beaten, tortured, or even executed. The taliban insist they will respect womens rights within the framework of sharia law. That includes giving Women Access to education and the workplace. Still to be seen, whether women will be forced to wear burkas and not allowed to leave their homes without a closemale relative. And the public messaging is often different from reality at street level. Recently, a spokesman for the group urged women to stay home for their safety because taliban fighters had not been trained to respect them. The warning has left many afghan women afraid, and uncertain of whats next. Street vendors in kabul say the sale of Burkas Have increased. In some instances, militants have forced women out of their workplaces. Though, some women continue to work. The female staff of one hospital in kabul staying at home for a day when the taliban first took over until their managers told them it was okay to come back. Translator in the beginning, when the situation occurred, it was very difficult for us. We were worried about what would happen. Our request is that we want to make progress. We dont want to go backwards. A female anchor appeared on a Television Morning Show early this week and conducted an interview with a male guest on a health topic. But another female journalist fled the country after she interviewed a member of the taliban on live tv. Reporters without borders say there are less than 100 female journalists still working in kabul. And some have been attacked and harassed. The conductor of the countrys allfemale orchestra says she has since escaped the United States. But she says many of her fellow musicians are in hiding. Taliban banned most music during its earlier rule. Translator when the taliban near the city, everyone stayed at home. They didnt go out, especially female musicians. Im sure that every one of them felt the same way as i did, that we will not be able to play again. Reporter as the taliban consolidate power, many afghan women, especially professionals, feel stifled and silenced. Isa soares, cnn. An independent Policy And Mediation adviser joins me now from new york. She is also a Senior Fellow at new Yorks University Center for international cooperation and a Senior Fellow at their center for global affairs. Great to have you on. I guess, one one of the achievements of the international intervention was quite apart from girls going back to school, the return of women to the workforce, to politics, to positions of power and leadership. And and we see now these brave women on the streets of kabul trying to maintain those gains. Where do you see, though, the future of women in afghanistan under the taliban . Well, thank you very much for having me. And yes, those images are are nothing short of profound. These women are coming out and challenging the taliban with nothing but their voice. Um, under the threat of i just i can think of no greater courage than what these women are doing. And theyre doing it because its not that they dont fear death but because for them, its death by one way or another. Its the threat of violence or the death of their dreams and everything that they thought was going to be their future. Um, and right now, you know, they want to be hopeful. Every afghan that i speak to, they are both petrified. They have been they have witnessed a lot of brutality, already. And intimidation. But at the same time, they are desperately hoping that there may be some measure of reform within the taliban. And the taliban have indicated that they that they are going to provide this time, that theyre going to be different. That they are going to allow rights for the population, including women. Um, but there is a lot that to fear right now. Your your own family fled afghanistan when you were a child. So in a way, this this is personal for you, too. And i know you have spoken about what you called a profound sense of betrayal. What what could the u. S. And the west, in general, have done to stop the loss of what was gained for women in afghanistan . Or what can they do . You know, every afghan woman that i had spoken to over the years, they were all working for peace. They all wanted an end to this conflict. They did not want a forever war to protect their their rights. But they wanted a Peace Process in which their voice was included. They wanted a Peace Process that was not just an Exit Strategy on the part of the u. S. , and a Pr Strategy on the part of the taliban, which is essentially what it was. So they feel that not only was there were their rights forfeited. But that theres never even a real chance for peace and that would have been absolutely critical. And and also, even with the evacuation, you know, the the priorities of the u. S. And the rest of the international community were citizens, and then allies. And allies were the people that worked with these with the the embassy or with security forces. Well, 80 of those were men. We actually sat down, we made that assessment. Those of us who are working with with women and Human Rights defenders. Um, and what was and it was left Up To, largely, the philanthropic community, individuals to try to help the women and the Humanrights Community that are fleeing. Right. That shouldnt have happened. These people were at the forefront of fighting for the rights gained in the last 20 years. Yeah. I guess, too, its not just the potential for the cruelty of the taliban to return, their attitude to women in society. But that that thats a loss to the country in in terms of the major contributions those women make in the workforce, in politics, and elsewhere. Its thats a significant loss for the country, as a whole, isnt it . Absolutely. Its not only a loss for afghanistan, its a loss for everyone. Its a loss for the region. Its a loss for the international community because the investment for the region and the u. S. , international community are two things. One is having afghanistan become a stable country, both economically becoming more viable and in terms of security being a moderate country that is that that is inclusive. And on both fronts, you know, there there is data throughout the world that shows that when you have Womens Participation that, on both fronts, you succeed far better than when you have the type of regime that you have right now. Rena, really appreciate your your perspective on this, your insights. Thanks so much. Thank you very much. Defending Champion Naomi Osaka out of the u. S. Open tennis tournament.

States across the northeast are facing a daunting road ahead, as they begin rebuilding communities devastated by the remnants of Hurricane Ida. At least 50 people now confirmed dead after wednesdays storm. Torrential rains gave way to extensive flooding, leaving major highways in parts of pennsylvania still submerged. Cnns Pete Muntean with a look at the Recovery Efforts underway. Reporter cleanup across the East Coast is just beginning in cities and towns, large and small. In center city, philadelphia, crews are racing to clear the vine street expressway. Deep water is being diverted into the slowly receding river which swelled thursday to levels not seen in two centuries. The Recovery Process for this is going to take months. Reporter the Ef2 Tornado that swirled through ft. Washington, pennsylvania, killed one woman when a tree fell on her house. The twister then targeted the high school, township building, police department, and ron copelands neighborhood. Its devastating. It really is devastating to see all this. You never think it can happen to you. You never think its going to happen in your neighborhood. But unfortunately, there is the proof. It did. Reporter the new numbers are becoming more gruesome. Across new york, authorities say 11 people were killed when their Basement Apartments turned into death traps. These are peoples lives. These are peoples homes. These are peoples vehicles. These are people who have been traumatized with Car Rescues and and and were literally getting people out of their homes and apartments. Reporter pennsylvania governor, Tom Wolf, toured the damage in the philadelphia suburbs of Montgomery County where officials counted 467 calls for Water Rescues on wednesday night, alone. More than twice the previous countywide record. How much of this damage do you attribute to Climate Change . Most of it. I think fewer and fewer people are climate deniers, these days. I think the more you see this kind of thing, the indiscriminate and intense nature of of the storms, im not sure how you can sit on the sidelines and say, you know, we dont need to do anything. Reporter ft. Washington Fire Chief says his Childhood Neighborhood was crushed by this storm of unprecedented power. Now, leaving an unimaginable toll. Just be patient. You know, check on your neighbors. And um, you know, were going to get through this. Were going to clean it up. Were gonna rebuild.

Governor Tom Wolf of pennsylvania told me, live, on the air it is just too soon to say officially how much all of this cleanup will cost. Pete muntean, cnn, ft. Washington, pennsylvania. Lets bring in meteorologist Karen Mcginnis now to talk about whens going on out there. Another major Hurricane Strengthening in the atlantic and i know you have got your eyes on another tropical disturbance for the Gulf Of Mexico next week. Yes. Michael, so devastating for people who live in those states. All the way from the Gulf Coast into the northeast, 22 states directly impacted by ida. And now, the atlantic Hurricane Basin is acting up, again. Now ordinarily, might look at this and say Hurricane Larry not really impacting anybody. Well, not just yet. Lets look out a few days. Right now, it has 115mileperhour winds with gusts higher. Its moving fairly rapidly to the westnorthwest at just about 16 miles an hour. All right. We bring it out towards tuesday. Now, we are looking at 130mileperhour winds. So, its track is still not directing impacting anyone. Its in the open waters of the atlantic. But Heres Bermuda and the trend is, at least according to the Computer Models is, its shifting a little bit more to the west. So, a little bit more of a shift towards the west and the impact could be much greater across bermuda. But what happens after this fiveday time period . Its going to move into some cooler waters. Its going to be impacted by different weather systems. But could it impact the northeast . Its too early to say, at this point, the impacts along the eastern seaboard.
