DEB: SEAN: WE WANT --
WE WANT TO GET YOU UPDATED.
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE WITHOUT
POWER AS WE SPEAK.
JUST UNDER 300,000 CUSTOMERS ARE
IN THE DARK AFTER STRONG WINDS
AND HEAVY RAINS OVERNIGHT.
OUR CREWS ARE WORKING TO RESTORE
POWER AS QUICKLY AS THEY CAN.
THE STATE EMERGENCY OPERATIONS
CENTER HAS BEEN OPEN SINCE
MIDNIGHT.
WE'LL GET A LIVE REPORT AT NOON.
POWER OUTAGES AND FLOODING
HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
A NEW HAMPSHIRE DOT FOREMAN WHEN
A TREE FELL ON HIS TRUCK.
LUCKILY, HE WAS NOT INJURED IN
THIS.
THIS IS ANOTHER PICTURE FROM THE
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION.
THIS IS ROUTE 302.
THESE ARE PICTURES SHOWING ROUTE
2 IN GORHAM.
THE ROAD IS CLOSED TO THE MAINE
BORDER.
VIEWERS ARE SHARING THEIR
PICTURES OF THE DAMAGE FROM THE
STORM.
THIS IS A LARGE TREE THAT CAME
DOWN ON A TRUCK IN BERLIN.
THEY SAY THE HOUSE RUMBLED LIKE
AN EARTHQUAKE.
THE HOMEOWNER REALIZED THE
KITCHEN CABINETS WERE ON THE
FLOOR.
CHECK OUT THE DAMAGE ON THE
SEACOAST WHERE CLEARING OUT SAND
IS GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME.
IT WAS SO WINDY OUT THERE.
THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
OUTSIDE.
YOU CAN SEE CLEARING SKIES IN
SOME PLACES LIKE MANCHESTER.
KEVIN: IT IS AMAZING TO THINK
ABOUT OVER THE LAST SEVEN TO 10
DAYS, WE WERE APPROACHING A
MODERATE DROUGHT.
IN THE LAST TWO SYSTEMS, WE HAVE
HAD UP TO NINE AND A HALF INCHES
OF RAIN.
JUST A LOOK AT WHAT WE ARE GOING
TO EXPERIENCE THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING IS A
LESSER VERSION OF WHAT WE HAD
LAST NIGHT.
THERE WILL STILL BE SHOWERS AND
WIND, BUT THEY WILL ALL BE LESS
THAN WHAT WE HAVE SEEN.
LEFT BEHIND FLASH FLOOD WATCH
FOR MAINE IS IN EFFECT.
STILL SEVERAL FLOOD WARNINGS IN
EFFECT UNTIL 2:45 FOR SOUTHERN
COOS, CAROL, AND BELKNAP
COUNTIES.
THERE ARE FLOOD WARNINGS FOR
SEVERAL RIVERS.
A LOT OF RIVERS HAVE YET TO
RESPOND TO THE HEAVY RAIN.
YOU CAN NOTICE THE TROPICAL
SYSTEM IN NORTHERN MAINE
CONTINUES TO MOVE AWAY.
LEFT BEHIND IS THE UPPER-LEVEL
SYSTEM, WHICH HAS LED TO
CHANGEABLE SKIES, SOME SUNSHINE,
AND ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS
MAKING ITS WAY SOUTHWEST TO
NORTHEAST.
SUSTAINED WIND SPEEDS HAVE
STARTED TO COME UP.
GENERALLY UP TO 20 MILES PER
HOUR.
WE HAVE SEEN WHEN GUSTS OVER 25
MILES PER HOUR.
NOW THE UPPER-LEVEL SYSTEM
STARTING TO TAKE OVER AGAIN.
OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS, WE WILL
CONTINUE TO SEE SHOWERS, AND WE
EVENTUALLY WILL SEE AFTER 2:00
THIS AFTERNOON IN SOUTHWESTERN
PARTS OF THE STATE CLEARING
SKIES.
ALL THE WHILE, THE WEST WIND AND
SOUTHWEST WIND WILL START TO GET
GOING.
THERE WILL BE WIND GUSTS UP TO
35 MILES PER HOUR AS
TEMPERATURES SLIP INTO THE 50'S
FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY.
AN ADDITIONAL HALF INCH OF RAIN
IN SOME SPOTS WITH DOWNPOURS
POSSIBLE.
AS FAR AS THE FLOODING THREAT IS
CONCERNED, A LOT OF THE DAMAGE
HAS BEEN DONE.
NOW IT IS A MATTER OF SMALLER
RIVERS AND STREAMS MOVING INTO
THE LARGER RIVERS.
THAT IS SOMETHING WE WILL BE
TRACKING AS THE LAST OF THE
RAINFALL FALLS.
THE WIND MAY CAUSE SCATTERED
ADDITIONAL OUTAGES BECAUSE IT
WILL BE FROM THE OPPOSITE
DIRECTION.
IT WILL NOW BE WEST GUSTING OVER
25 MILES PER HOUR.
SEAN: THANKS.
JOIN US AT NOON.
WE HAVE REPORTERS ACROSS THE
STATE GATHERING INFORMATION AND
COVERING THAT DAMAGE.
