20,000 without power. here we still have that and water. i've been talking to people who have lived through several of these hurricanes. they say this one, pretty mild but they've definitely seen worse and they are prepared for whatever comes our way. we have three to four more hours of winds and conditions like this before it starts to lift, before it turns into a breezy day. all in all, we're expecting about 250,000 people here on the outer banks. we're told about 35,000 evacuated. some mandatory. some of those voluntary evacuations. but people not quite ready to give up on their dream of a fourth of july beach vacation. right now that beach vacation has turned into a beach nightmare, but hopefully once they ride that storm through they can enjoy the rest of the weekend. as far now, three to four more hours of these conditions before they lift. back to you. >> i've got to say, watching that guy walk past you just a minute ago.
