has there been any damage to new orleans that you are aware of? >> reporter: from the driving we have been able to see the main damage has been trees falling down. at the thing you have to understand is the power is out for most of the city. there are hundreds of thousands of people in this region without power right now. if you go down bourbon street, just a couple blocks down, it is completely dark. you can't see an inch in front of you. so those true damage assessments won't happen until tomorrow morning, once the sun comes up. once you get into the french quarter it is just too dark to see anything. >>> we are tracking zeta right now. this is the radar satellite imagery and you can see how quick it's moving. that's where the rain is more like a half a foot of rain, 3 to 5 to 6 inches of rain. sometimes you get 18 to 20 inches of rain, if it's moving slow enough, but this thing is cooking going 25 miles an hour. it is a category, category one, it was a category two about 10 to 15 minutes ago a category one. that makes sense because it hits the

there have not been any mandatory evacuations in the city of new orleans. so for the most part, people are hunkered down in their homes, in their hotel rooms riding out this storm. the biggest concern with officials is complacency. this is the fifth named storm to hit louisiana just this season. and many people i talked to on the streets have been telling me they're just so sick and tired of having to prepare for storm after storm. there are about 3500 evacuees from laura and hurricanes delta who are still displaced and scattered around hotel rooms here in new orleans. and they are once again dealing with yet another hurricane riding out this storm. pou power outages are the biggest concern. more than 240,000 people are without power. women, back to you. >> just be careful out there. i want to bring in our meteorologist tom seder. schools are closed to atlanta. i understand the storm is going to be moving. tell us about the threat to the southeast. >> well, i tell you, she mentioned, we're well into the greek alphabet with zeta. this is now the strongest hu

by 6:00 p.m., right over the top of the new orleans. some of all of the storms we've had this year, many threaten new orleans, but none hit. now, we're expecting a category 2 hurricane over the top of new orleans this afternoon. we could see a storm surge of six to nine feet. especially the mississippi coastline, from slidell to biloxi, to st. louis, those are the areas of concern. listen to your emergency manager. there may be evacuations that we didn't think were necessary yesterday that are necessary now. and then the storm will quickly race through the southeast later on tonight. and then tomorrow, it heads through the mid-atlantic region but the real big impacts are along the coast. these are the maximum expected wind gusts and these have to be upgraded. assuming it's a category one, kasie, it's a category 2. we could see 90-mile-per-hour winds in downtown new orleans. a very serious situation, widespread power outages expected. we'll update the stories today on msnbc. >> bill, i think i said this yesterday, we've got to stop meeti
