FLYING HIGH ABOVE THE DEVASTATION IT'S CLEAR PARTS OF NEW YORK CITY ARE
STILL A MESS. NOW FIVE DAYS AFTER HURRICANE SANDY SOME AREAS ARE STILL
FLOODED, BURIED IN SAND, OR SIMPLY AREN'T THERE ANYMORE.---
Sot NYPD: Sergeant Bill Shalleesh "It's a little disturbing, a little heart
wrenching when you see, myself, I'm from a Garretson native myself and I see
my neighborhood got hit pretty hard."

POLICE DEPARTMENT INVITES US TO GO ALONG WITH THEIR BESTTHE SUPERHEROES WHO
TRAVEL THROUGH THE AIR OR ON WATER SAVING LIVES IN THE MOST DIFFICULT
SITUATIONS.
NATS RESCUE
THIS WAS THE SCENE TUESDAY WHEN THE AVIATION TEAM HAD TO BE LOWERED INTO THE
FLOOD ZONES TO RESCUE PEOPLE FROM THE ROOFS OF THEIR HOUSES.
00: 49 24
BS: They lifted three people, it was pretty daring, it was pretty intense,
pretty stressful, but those guys pulled it off.
BY HAVING THESE MULTI MILLION DOLLAR BIRDS IN THE SKY POLICE ARE ABLE TO
SPOT THE DANGER AND BETTER COORDINATE THE RESCUE EFFORTS. THEY WERE ABLE TO
SAVE A TOTAL OF 5 ADULTS AND ONE CHILD THAT DAY.
ONE AREA THAT WASN'T ABLE TO BE SAVED, THE BREEZY POINT SECTIONS OF QUEENS.
DURING THE HURRICANE A MASSIVE FIRE BROKE OUT SPREADING TO DOZENS OF
HOMESNOW ALL THAT'S LEFT IS A DARK EMPTY PLOT OF LAND.
0; 31; 26; 21-we're now flying over Staten Island, the hardest of the five
boroughs to get to and the devastations is just unimaginable. It almost
looks like a wrecking ball just came through and just swept these homes out
from this high up in the air, it almost looks like toothpicks just scattered
everywhere across this borough. There are some areas that are so bad and
the flooding is so severe there were few homes that were just swept up off
their foundation and just swept up into a field of marsh and that's where
they sit.
THIS STATEN ISLAND MARINA LOOKS LIKE A BUNCH OF TOY BOATS PILED UPBUT FROM
THE WATER WE GET A WHOLE NEW PERSPECTIVE.
01; 05; 16 JS: Capt. Russo what are looking at right now?
CR: basically what we're looking at is an entire section of a marina that
used to be on this side of harbor. With the southeast winds it broke off of
the pilings. The whole entire section dock bringing all of the boats that
were tied up with it and grabbing anything that might have been in its path
through this mooring field. Washing up on this side of the harbor.
WHEN THE FLOOD LEVELS ROSE AS HIGH AS 8 TO 10 FEET THIS HARBR UNIT HAD TO
GET CREATIVE.
CR: we took zodiacs, john boats, rafts, whatever floatation devices we had,
we had persons dresses as and we were walking these rafts through the
streets of Staten Island and pulling people out of their homes. This was all
done joint effort, all special operations, division units' emergency
service, harbor, aviation were a part of this rescue effort.
FORTUNATELY MANY OF THE RESIDENTS DID LISTEN TO THE WARNINGS AND EVACUATEBUT
NOW THE DAUNTING CLEANUP PROCESS HAS BEGUN.
SOT Woman: when I came back I saw what you see now like I have all boats, I
always wanted to own a boat but not this way now it looks like own three
boats

FULL WX
THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.
IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.
It's shaping up to be an absolutely delightful weekend across Southwest Florida.
Sunny skies, comfortable temperatures, and low humidity will headline this first weekend of November, and there's a few more surprises coming down the road as we head into next week.
Sunday will be another beauty. Highs will again climb into the low to mid 80s, and we'll be treated to more blue skies and sunshine from start to finish. Humidity will be a few notches higher but will stay very comfortable. If you're heading out to chow down at Taste of the Town, the weather looks perfect.
The sunny weather carries over into next week until we hit a little speed bump on Tuesday as the next cold front slips into Southwest Florida. We'll notice more cloud cover along with the potential for some scattered showers during the afternoon and evening. While rain chances get a little boost, the chance of getting wet will only be around 30%, so this won't be a wash out-just a few hit-or-miss showers roaming around.
After the front passes, another batch of cool, dry air will come rushing into Southwest Florida starting Wednesday. There are signs this front may actually be the strongest one so far this season, and we'll feel the difference Wednesday. Temperatures should only warm into the middle 70s despite a nice supply of sunshine, and a noticeable chill returns to the air Wednesday night as temperatures cool into the low 50s with some 40s deeper inland.
Temperatures will then begin to moderate a bit Thursday and Friday as daytime highs approach 80 degrees.
Enjoy this beautiful stretch of weather from the weekend into next week, and remember.the clocks fall back an hour tonight!

BUT, GILLIS SAYS HE AND OTHERS WERE TOLD THEY CAN'T DISPLAY THEIR SIGNS.
It really boils down to a first amendment right to freedom of speech.
COUNTY LAW SAYS SIGNS CAN'T BE IN THE GROUND ON COUNTY PROPERTY.
BUT CAMPAIGNERS *CAN HOLD THEM.
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR RAY SANDROCK SAYS IT BECAME A PROBLEM IN THE PRIMARY.
SO THEY TRIED TO BE MORE STRICT ABOUT THE RULES THIS TIME.
SOME CAMPAIGNING FOR WRITE-IN CANDIDATES.LIKE GILLIS. FELT IT WASN'T RIGHT.
AND NOW -- ONE WEEK AFTER THEY WERE TOLD "NO" -- THE COUNTY MADE TEMPORARY CHANGES FOR JUST THIS ELECTION.
Our attorneys got together, they made the decision that we should pull back, but we will turn right around next election at the very beginning of the primary to full blown communication on what our expectations are.
Obviously I'm happy that it's permitted to go on.
AND WITH THE ELECTION JUST DAYS AWAY.
THIS CHANGE GIVES CAMPAIGNERS LIKE GILLIS A FEW MORE CHANCES TO REACH VOTERS.
At least we have a few days to get somewhat of a message out there.
