hurricane winds and then for another six, eight hours on the back side of the storm we ll get this tropical storm force winds and the continuation of the rainfall. so, a long time yet to go before we see any clear skies here. anderson? i cannot stress this highly enough. if you are in the projected path of this hurricane, you have to take precautions now. 65 million people at risk, the government possibly picking up the pieces after this massive mandatory evacuations, time to get out right now. you have to get out. we ve never done a mandatory evacuation before and we wouldn t be doing it now if we didn t think this storm had the potential to be very serious. we re tracking this monster minute by minute and going live into the storm zone. this is piers morgan tonight. good evening, we re covering every angle of hurricane irene tonight from north carolina, with landfalls expected in a matter of hours to new york city where unprecedented mandatory evacuations are unde
