We want to extends a special welcome to our Fox News viewers. Im meteorologist are arti from our studios here in new York City and weve been covering helene over the last several hours over the last several days. This has been an extremely well forecast storm, before it even formed down in the western caribbean. It looked like something like this was going to happen, so again, we still have technically a Hurricane Storm and Hurricane Center will probably see it downgraded slowly throughout the night, but one unique thing about helene, this particular storm is that it was very large, right . So large storms take a longer time to lose their strength as they move inland so you look up here to the north. Not only do we have a long Wind Damage to get, were going to see some hikely catastrophic rain, and i want to bring Ian Oliver. He started out in st. Petersburg beach and hes now made the trek over to tampa, so kind of on the other side of town, and ian, whether you started on the of other
Theyre telling us that theyre starting slowly to unload these places. There are five sets of those. So its very slow and were pretty far back in the line. Its going to be at least two hours. He also says he doesnt know whats going to happen to us once were deplaned, where well go in the airport and what resources will be available to us. He said it will take a number of days before things get back to normal. Were in it for the long haul. Weve totally run out of water. Theyve asked us kindly not to flush the toilets. Otherwise everyone seems to be in a relative calm. They gave us beverages about an hour ago and were just waiting. Wow. It doesnt sound good. How long have you been stuck there . We landed at 2 15. So about five hours. Wow. And the pilot is telling you it could be two hours more before you can get off. Did you hear what led to this . Reporter its unclear to us. Its a construction issue. As far as we know theres no power at the airport. Lucky for us. People are stuck in tram
live in new orleans. it s been several days since the storm. are people able to get basic necessities yet? reporter: they can get some basic necessities, kaitlan, at this gas station behind me, for example. it was one of it was really the only gas station open for a moment. you ll see the police tape here. and officers have been here throughout the night protecting the property to make sure no one goes inside to steal items. but i do want to show you, take a look at this neighborhood. we re in uptown. it s still dark now. if you take away our tv light, this is pretty much what you see. darkness other than our tv light. and president biden, as you mentioned, will be here in louisiana and mississippi to survey the damage. power is slowly returning to parts of the state. here in louisiana, less than 900,000 power outages. so that s a number that is improving, but it s slow and
on me now, of course, one of them being our tv light and lights like you would see as a construction light that have been brought in. tower lights along this walk way as well as inside the doors to my right where the airline counters are as well to allow people to communicate with officials here, law enforcement, security, and whatnot, to try to find them a place to go because as one atlanta police officer told me, it s not safe or sanitary for anyone to think it s good idea to stay here overnight. oh, my. kaylee hartung, thank you for that report. this airport the size of atlanta will throw a monkey wrench into the entire country s flight schedules especially at the peak of the holiday season. i want to bring tom in. you ve been look at flight trackers, seeing how this is going to impact the ripple effect so to speak. what are you finding out?
her which in the polls is one of her biggest problems right now. in your daily beast headline hillary plays victim on cnn by one of your colleagues. she came across as guarded under the tv light. do you agree or disagree with that? we have a different range of views at the beast. what s your view? she s a very guarded interview subject. no question about that. i interviewed her she was first running for senate in 2000. the silence was much longer then. she started her campaign in july of 1999 and didn t sit for full henning length interviews until 2000. it s a tough interview. she filibusters and she doesn t she goes on for a long time and you sit and look at your watch. this is a cold war between clinton and the media that will go on and political press just doesn t like her and is just waiting to pounce. i want to add, maybe the
