105 miles per hour, sustained down from 140 miles per hour where we were today. and it continues to make a little bit more of an easterly jog here that. is certainly good news for folks across the outer banks. however, some of the rain is moving on shore now. there are winds around 50-60 miles per hour. and as this band right here, is the last image right there. that is where struggle was winds are. we re likely up to 80 or 90 mimp going to get closer so i think around 2:00, 3:00 in the morning we re going to potentially see the worst of this. hurricane warnings in effect across outer banks. and then, we still have a hurricane warning in affect across areas of massachusetts. why in just a moment. we re going deal with three to five inches of rain not as bad across mid atlantic seaboard across new jersey. one to two inches. again, it s going to be moving quickly. by tomorrow morning, you ll notice this is kind of off of the virginia area. and there is still a cat two storm, th
extreme weather center. rick, have you been saying it s going to lessen in intensity and it has. yeah. take that right-hand turn which is also good news. all of our graphics located because this information comes out and take as second to get that going. this is a look at earl here. one other thing come out in the advisory to me is a little more interesting is calling the movement at 10 degrees instead of dew north. earlier 355 we were saying and dew north. slight easterly jog and that s what you want to see in the direction of this. so we still have a hurricane advisory going on. we have our warnings in effect in the north carolina, virginia border down towards bogue inlet. we will see likely hurricane wind gusts going through here and also winds coming out of the north. that is going to cause for overwash of those roads and this outer bank area. but, from the sound side, not necessarily from the coast side. so that s possibly one thing we are going to be dealing with and
Aftershocks. we ve had about 120 aftershocks of magnitude five and greater in this area. the thregathrust means this was a huge earthquake, this was about 300 miles long on the fault that ruptured and went to the fault this plate went beneath south america, so the plate went beneath south america, causing this megathrust. thank you, paul earl with the earthquake center and bill, we ll be monitoring all the activities with the aftershocks. bill: hawaii and other areas in the pacific dodged a bullet. that s a good thing and we know that. the experts told everyone to head for higher ground, fearing the worst. it was an 8-foot wave. five years after the devastation in south asia that killed 200,000 people, is our warning system any better? john rundle is a seismologist, good morning to you, can you explain what happened here? good morning. basically, the last time i was on one of these programs
Under the populated area, the fault was deeper. okay, thank you very much dr. paul earl. so folks know, we re going to go to the map one more time, all the different boxes you see here, these are aftershocks, jane. these have 120 aftershocks in this region that are a magnitude 5. o or greater since the original quake. back to you. jane: alicia, thank you. we also have amateur video to show you, the scene of one building right after the initial 8.8 mit. hit. the death toll is said to be over 700, it could go higher. on the phone is ail knight, 18 years old from connecticut, a student in santiago, she was there when the quake hit, is still there, she sent us incredible photographs she s been taking over the last couple of days. we re going to be showing you as we speak to her. ali, tell me what it was like. we re watching this amateur video. where were you and what did it feel like? i was in my apartment building and sleeping, and i
The earthquake center in golden, colorado. explain what s going on as they trach a look at this. reporter: here at the earthquake center, they re tracking earthquakes all over the world, as well as the number of aftershocks in the chile region. i m here with paul earl, a seismologist with the earthquake center here in golden, and we re talking about megathrusts, and you actually have a real-time image here that you can show us to kind of explain to us what that is, a megathrust. certainly. a megathrust, they occur on the borders of plates and what we have in this situation is we have the nascaplating,, sub deducting subducting beneath the american plate. this boundary, this area like this creates the largest earthquakes in the world and like we ve seen recently with this magnitude 8.8, this earthquake is the sixth largest or fifth largest on record, and these regions are where you get these massive quakes. we re hearing it s 500
