DANIELLE LEIGH REPORTING IN NEW JERSEY FOR US.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT SANDY FROM ABOVE.

THE STORM POUNDED NEW JERSEY'S COASTLINE EARLY THIS MORNING.

AND ON TOP OF WIND AND RAIN, WE'RE NOW SEEING SNOW.

FIRST WX JIM-WX WALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

It's going to be another cool and crisp start across Southwest Florida with temperatures starting as low as the 40s across our inland communities and mid 50s through the urban corridor.

Temperatures will struggle to warm much past 70 this afternoon as a stiff, cool breeze continues from the north. Winds won't be quite as strong as yesterday, but we could easily see some gusts up to 20 mph.

Our sky will stay sunny and blue for most of the day as rain chances stay incredibly low with so much dry air in place.

Temperatures tonight will still be cool, but we don't expect to get quite as chilly as last night. Look for temperatures to dip into the low 50s inland and upper 50s to low 60s across the urban corridor.

Wednesday will be another dandy, but we'll likely have a few more patchy clouds around as our winds come off the Gulf. Daytime temperatures will rebound a little with highs expected to reach the upper 70s.

A weak cool front will slide through the area late Thursday, which could generate some isolated light showers along with some more cloud clover. Our rain chance, however, will only be around 30%.

Thursday's front should give us a nice reinforcing shot of cool, dry air, which will set things up perfectly for Friday and the upcoming weekend.

THANKS CLIFTON.

WE'RE GETTING OUR FIRST LOOK FROM THE LEE COUNTY CLERK ABOUT *WHAT WAS GOING ON INSIDE MEDSTAR.BEFORE THE EMERGENCY MEDICAL HELICOPTER WAS ABRUPTLY GROUNDED.

ACCORDING TO A DRAFT AUDIT JUST RELEASED.THE PUBLIC SAFETY DEPARTMENT HAD CORE MANAGEMENT ISSUES THAT ULTIMATELY LEAD TO THE SHUTDOWN OF THE MEDSTAR PROGRAM.

DIRECTOR JOHN WILSON WAS DESCRIBED AS "HANDS OFF" WHEN IT CAME TO THE FLIGHT PROGRAM.

THE AUDIT FOUND THERE WAS INFIGHTING AMONG THE SENIOR MANAGERS THAT REACHED THE ENTIRE ORGANIZATION.

ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS WAS A "SILO MENTALITY" -- WHERE DEPARTMENTS WOULD NOT SHARE INFORMATION WITH EACH OTHER.

THE AUDIT SAYS THAT REDUCED THE EFFICIENCY OF THE OPERATION, CUT MORALE, AND CONTRIBUTED TO THE DEMISE OF COMPANY CULTURE.

THE AUDIT ALSO POINTS OUT ISSUES TO NEED BE RESOLVED BEFORE RE-IMPLEMENTING ANY HELICOPTER AMBULANCE SERVICE.

"So I don't care what segment of the market you're in, you have to be nervous these days because Walmart could be your future competitor."

BUT THE NAME IS ALREADY TO FAMILIAR TO ALL.

WALMART FOCUSES ON STAND-ALONE GROCERY STORES.

WALMART TAKEOVER-PKG

WORKERS ARE PUTTING THE FINISHING TOUCHES ON SAN DIEGO'S NEXT WALMART. BUT THIS STORE IS DIFFERENT THAN ALL THE REST.

"This isn't a regular walmart, no sir, this is a new format to San Diego, it's a grocery store."

A TRADITIONAL GROCERY STORE WITH THE WALMART NAME OUT FRONT. SINCE JULY, WALMART HAS OPENED 14 GROCERY STORES IN CALIFORNIA.

"So I don't care what segment of the market you're in, you have to be nervous these days because Walmart could be your future competitor."

IN FACT SOME OF THE MAJOR GROCERY STORE CHAINS HAVE RECENTLY ANNOUNCED CUTBACKS AND STORE CLOSINGS. BUT WITH WALMART'S BUYING POWER AND NON-UNION WORKFORCE. THEY FIGURE IT'S A GOOD TIME TO ENTER THE COMPETITION.

"Customers are looking for convenient, affordable options for groceries and the neighborhood market format offers them exactly that."

THIS FORMER CIRCUIT CITY IS NOW 39-THOUSAND SQUARE FEET OF PRODUCE, FROZEN FOODS, MEAT AND A PHARMACY. PRETTY MUCH A TRADITIONAL GROCERY STORE EMPLOYING 65 PEOPLE. BUT CAN THEY COMPETE WITH THE TRADITIONAL MARKETS?

"If they happen to see a competitor have a lower price on an item, we will match it at the register, hassle free."

"So you have the big box sam's club, you have the traditional walmarts and now you have the grocery stores. Where does walmart go from here? Well in some parts of the country, they are experimenting with their own convenience stores."

"When they're looking to grow, they're looking at all possible growth paths."

AND THERE ARE MORE WALMART GROCERY STORES COMING IN THE COMING MONTHS. MORE CHOICE FOR SHOPPERS, MORE COMPETITION TO GET A PIECE OF THE FAMILY FOOD BUDGET.

GOVENOR MITT ROMNEY'S SCHEDULED A STORM RELIEF RALLY IN OHIO TODAY. HE AND PAUL RYAN ARE URGING SUPPORTERS TO DONATE:

Vice Presidential Nominee:50-:54

"Swing by, give a hand, you know first hand what people are gonna need."

Presidential Nominee:55-:58

"Make sure we do our very best to help those that are are being impacted by this storm."

"Anything he says injects pure politics into it, and so, you want to be careful if you're the Romney team to keep an eye on it, obviously, but don't neccessarily try to get in front of the story in any way."

ONE WEEK BEFORE THE ELECTION, POLLS ARE TIED BUT CAMPAIGNING'S AT A STANDSTILL:

"I am not worried at this point about the impact on the election. I'm worried about the impact on families."

FAMILIES, ALSO IMPACTED BY JOBS. THE LABOR DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEES WORKED FROM HOME MONDAY, MAKING FINAL CALCULATIONS - SO THEY EXPECT TO RELEASE THE FINAL PRE-ELECTION JOBS REPORT ON FRIDAY, AS PLANNED.

"I could only get as far as Chicago or Charlotte."

WHETHER IT'S PITTSBURGH, BOSTON, NEW YORK OR A HOST OF OTHER CITIES - THE MISSION FOR PASSENGERS IS THE SAME.

"Getting home."

AND THE RESULTS VARY.

"I'm stuck here for now."

PROFESSOR TIM CHADDOCK WAS TOLD HIS FLIGHT WAS A GO BUT THEN A STATE OF EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED IN HIS HOMETOWN.

"Got a call from United about two hours ago telling us that our flight from Chicago to Rochester which is our final destination that`s home and that flight was canceled."

WE FOUND A COLLEGE STUDENT WITH PAPERS DUE- TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO MAKE THE DEADLINE.

"It's not working out so well my flight from Charlotte to Rochester got canceled and now I can get rebooked until Wednesday so I'm emailing all of my professors now telling them I`ll be turning my assignments in late or via email."

THE ONLY GOOD THING FOR CONANT IS SHE THINKS HER PROFESSORS WILL UNDERSTAND.

"My dog did not eat my homework it was really Hurricane Sandy`s fault."

"Oh good kick!"

THEY SAY A MOTHER'S LOVE IS ETERNAL.

"Smile!"

DARINA O'HARRAN IS HERE TODAY TO SHARE LOVING MOMENTS WITH HER 3 KIDS. BECAUSE OF HER OWN MOTHER.

"You remember the phone call."

LAST YEAR, HER MOM'S BREAST CANCER CAME BACK WITH A VENGEANCE. AND THAT DIAGNOSIS CAUSED THIS 32 YEAR OLD TO HAVE A PRECAUTIONARY MAMMOGRAM.

"I didn't have a lump. I didn't have any thoughts that I had cancer and I was young and they found cancer cells."

HER CANCER WAS STAGE 3. DARINA WENT THROUGH 6 ROUNDS OF CHEMO AND 33 ROUNDS OF RADIATION.

INTENSE TREATMENT. JUST MONTHS AFTER NURSING HER SON.

"I was walking out of my oncologists office with my stroller and one year old and someone else was walking by with their mother and I thought this isn't how it's supposed to be. I'm not supposed to be the patient here."

DR. KRISTEN RICE IS AN ONCOLOGIST. SHE SAYS WOMEN NEED TO UNDERSTAND THIS DISEASE HAS NO AGE LIMITS. YOUNG MOMS ARE NOT IMMUNE.

"I have a fair number of 40 somethings in my clinic a couple of 30 somethings and even some 20 somethings."

WHILE ANNUAL MAMMOGRAMS BECOME ROUTINE AFTER WOMEN HIT 40. DR RICE SAYS MONTHLY EXAMS ARE ESSENTIAL.

"I think it's important to know your body and know your lumps and bumps so you can know when there is a change, so you can pursue it and do something about it."

THEY ARE WORDS TO LIVE BY DARINA SAYS. SHE'S NOW CANCER FREE AND GRATEFUL FOR EACH AND EVERY MOMENT.
