Right well let's get back to Jeff block he's in Point Pleasant beach New Jersey.

He's directly in the line of fire -- I didn't think so let me see you I was so worried.

Our biggest got washed off the -- no big deal why did track your microphone however but there you go after them I can tell you the power and enjoys -- perfect now wait a watchdog debate that's -- -- power goes out that's just what's happened here quite pleasant beach -- has now joined and one of the communities that -- of the many communities.

-- -- around powerless at the moment very difficult to see out there were -- -- later in the evening polite young.

What day is going on out there -- -- tell you there's a lot of over washing our streets in this town that are just rivers.

Running with water public from the Atlantic area you know.

Where that stops we don't know I just listening to you know the report that maybe we've got to -- more hours of the worst to go.

Over -- get too much worse but it's it's bad that the whole lot of flooding.

Well Jeff you know I hope you can hear me and it's a difficult.

Way to communicate for a short.

Now again it -- good because we were very worried about you in the last live shot it looked very dangerous I'm glad to steer a better location.

It's only I've never seen anything like this in the northeast this is shocking -- and of course where we don't know how to prepare for this kind of thing you talk about.

Manhattan not being locked down.

You know would get a Crane that fell today.

Mangled.

And of course seeing here in the heart of it right there.

Is this gonna hit this region harder -- it -- say a Florida where people are used to dealing with what's going on.

Absolutely those those towns of those places along the coast -- been tested by other hurricanes those old buildings that are rickety.

The claim that wasn't properly attached -- already blown down in those places so when you get up.

A big storm there.

You know it is what it is here they've got a lot of stuff that maybe has been -- for awhile and now when you get a storm like this happen.

-- -- kind of you got a lot of stuff that just goes wrong all -- -- and I think that's the problem he got up very low pressure on this storm.

Which means it's fairly intense in this region just doesn't -- that kind of thing this is not -- this has not been through the crucible.

And it's going through right now.

Now it's.

Here and there you're standing in the middle of it.

-- and how eerie how what you're experiencing right now and feel it's gonna last for another three to four hours.

How bad will it be by the time by tomorrow morning.

Well you know this is not going to be in my view this is not going to be catastrophic you don't have.

You know the kind of a -- you know.

Roofs ripped off buildings largely.

This is mainly -- -- -- issue.

And it's over a longer period of time -- any of these other storms I frankly I'm -- recovered not covered every major hurricane in the US.

Since the mid eighties.

And the duration on this may be longer -- -- hammering maybe longer than some of the post storms that hit.

And move through the next day of sunshine there's no sunshine in the forecast here along the eastern seaboard -- for the next -- -- Jeff Flock thank you -- safe tonight OK Gerri appreciate it now I thank you so much.
