chad myers as well. george, first to you. tell me where you are and how bad it is. >> reporter: okay, brooke, we're in boulder. let's talk about it in different phases. the last 24 hours, we dealt with the storm, a lot of rain, water rushes down the road. now it seems like we're dealing with the cleanup. you see the bulldozers. they started the process of moving a lot of the mud, a lot of the rocks. there's a lot of debris that came through as the floodwaters pushed downstream. and now we're also seeing, you know, people are coming out to kind of look at it. it's been a soaking 24 hours. people are coming out to see what the situation is. jonathan, i don't know if you can pan over here to show what the people are doing as far as cleaning up, trying to move the debris from in front of their yards, in front of their homes to, you know, get back to some sense of normalcy, but looks can be deceiving because we do still, brooke, have a lot of running water down these neighborhoods. there are areas that are cut off because of all t

so let's bring in our expert chad myers, who is in miami this morning. good morning, chad. >> reporter: good morning, carol. i've seen it firsthand, seen dry days not a rain shower nothing and flooded streets. i ask where is this water coming from, a broken water main, no, high tide, sir, gets into o street sometimes. i'm dumbfounded at what's to come. the ipcc said today the earth is warming, 95% chance that the americans, that the world, the population of the world is doing it. better than 50/50 chance humans have something to do with this. we already knew that. the carbon dioxide in the air is above 400 parts per year for the first time in mauna loa in hawaii in may. the ocean is rising. i'm here in miami. why is the ocean warming, not because the glacier is melting but think about a thermometer and warm up the bulb at the bottom, what happens to the liquid? it goes up. if you warm up the ocean, what's going to happen? it's going to go up. if you warm up a three-mile l g longer thlong er th thermometer, some of the oceans are seven miles deep, warm it

our chad myers has been watching this as well. it may look like fun and games but what we showed in that rescue is a vehicle that went over that bridge but under that bridge it was so severe that it gave out. this is the crisis that they face. >> washed the entire roadway bed away, ashleigh. this is what we talk about when we say don't drive into water because you don't know whether the road is going to be there or not when you drive over it. this water was so deep today it appeared that the road was there but clearly you can see some of the sewer pipes there where the road used to be as the road used to go over where we're looking at now. this was just a normal creek but boulder all the way up into the park and front range picked up five, six, seven inches of rain and that caused all of this overnight flooding and the roadways literally washed away. record flooding in boulder. this reminds me an awful lot of when i was back in school where water went up into estes park and it came down, 16 inches of rainfall came down in just a f

chad myers, we talked to that fire chief, he was there on scene. he said his heart stopped beating for a minute. he thought the guy was gone. >> it happened at night. this is going to be the rub again tonight because it's still raining. it's not done raining in boulder, denver, aurora. it's still pouring down there. estes park picked up about 6 inches. boulder, 5.5 inches at midnight. the most ever in any 24-hour period ever on any town, any city in the boulder area, whenever they were taken those records since the 1800s. so anywhere around boulder, the most we have ever seen. here's what it looks like on the radar map. it's a little scary to think how much water is still up in the mountains because it didn't rain in the plains. it rains up here. the water has to go downhill. five inches in estes park. there are spots west of boulder, 9 inches there. west of broomfield, 11 inches. here's denver and it's still raining now in aurora. here's big-time rain still coming down. and we're going to continue to see the water go up tonight. i know this is a b

chad myers is in miami for us. >> the ocean is rising quicker than in decades past. and predictions made by some research scientists make the situation sound pretty dire. >> by the midpart of the century, 2050, 2060, most of the barrier islands in the world are going to have to be evacuated. >> that includes miami. it's hard to imagine iconic miami beach deserted, but it's obvious flooding water is a problem. >> we live on limestone. it's like porous sponge. we really can't use levees to hold back the water. >> while the city continues to find ways to deal with the excess water, many experts say there's no way to stop it. >> we saw barricades and sand bags all along alton because the water sits there in high tide. let's put one more foot of water on top of this, just for a one-foot sea level rise from here to miami beach. what does that look like? >> you're telling me every streets that blue is going to have water in it if we have a one-foot rise in sea level? >> yeah, and the tides f we get king tides, it will be higher than this. but this is essentially showing you

our coverage continues with chad myers live from south florida this morning. good morning. >> reporter: think about a thermometer, either it's the red alcohol or the shiny silver mercury. when the alcohol warms up, the alcohol or mercury goes up. that's what's happening to the ocean. the ocean is expanding just like a thermometer is expanding. the ocean 'sea level is rising. i drove to miami beach on wednesday and i said there must be a water main break, there's water in the streets. the professor said that's just high tide. i said it's just high tide? but there's water here. this isn't even a king tide. the big tide didn't it the happen for two more weeks. wait till you see what happens there. there will be more water in the streets. there's no denying in this town that the sea level is going up. the ocean is rising quicker than in decades past and predictions made by some research scientists make the situation sound pretty dire. >> by the midpart of the century, 2050, 2060, most of the barrier islands in the world will have to be evacuated. >> that includes

we have cnn's chad myers in the florida keys. if the temperatures keep rising, what will that do to america as we know it? are there specific cities you are concerned about? >> reporter: sure. every barrier island in the world. boston and new york, all of the harbor cities. savannah, south florida. you go all the way around the horn anywhere you have a large population living close to the sea, most of those people will be as close to the water as possible. they built on the land that was close to the water. so they are on the lowest possible land and if the water rises as predicted, the water will be in the neighborhoods literally in the next 10-to-15 years and probably through the neighborhoods in the next 50 years. we talked to jamie earl from the national hurricane center. this is bringing the cause of hurricane sandy. that was a big wind storm that brought storm surge. there is a big forecast for next year. let me show you what he is worried about. >> you are seeing a microcosm across the u.s. you see it bad in norfolk. sea l

let's bring in chad myers to look at this and what kind of season they're having in that side of the world. >> that was the biggest storm so far. anywhere in any ocean this year. now, there are some satellite indications. at least because they don't fly through their hurricanes or typhoons like we do. there's no real way to know what the pressure truly was. there's satellite indication that is it could have been the strongest storm in any ocean for many, many years. not just this year. it is a very -- was at least a very big storm. look at the eye right there. here's taiwan and the philippines. there is something going on here that we can't explain how it missed both of those islands. it went right in between. there are smaller islands in between. could you imagine at this point 162 mile per hour storm hitting the philippines or taiwan. that would have been absolutely devastating. it came on shore over the weekend. an awful lot of rain on this side. there was rain in hong kong. they were on the easy side of the storm. this is the bad side because the wind is going this way and so is

chad myers joins me from miami with one undeniable effect of the warmer earth, rising oceans. i saw you on television this morning telling a story about walking through what you thought were puddles. those were not puddles in the street. what were they and why is it so significant? >> reporter: we arrived on wednesday and i drove down or up alton on miami beach, not so much the beach part, but the back bay, kind of like near biscayn ebay. i saw water in the street and thought it must be a broken water main. i pulled over, said what's going on, are they going to fix the water main. they looked at me like what are you talking about, this is the ocean, this is high tide backing up the sewers and flooding our streets. it happens every fall when the water's warm and the tides are high. i thought wow, we did not really think we were going to drive into flooding because of higher water but that's what we saw. it's undeniable here in miami, miami beach and hollywood, the water is going up. the ocean is rising quicker than in decades past. predictions made by some research scientists m

my colleague chad myers says it's about 34 degrees where they are with 20 mile-an-hour winds. so it is cold. how long they can last really depends on so many different things. are they just cold or are they cold and wet? what kind of physical condition are they in? are they dehydrated? there's so many different variables in there. it's certainly a good sign that suzanne had enough presence of mind and was able to type that out and think it through. when you really develop hypothermia, you're not able to do those things. so it's certainly a good sign that she had the ability to write all that out. >> one other thing i noticed in that message as well was that they do have a tent. she e-mailed probably -- or text messaged probably for identification purposes yellow tent. but having some kind of shelter has to make a difference in a circumstance like this. >> oh, absolutely. anything you can do, any layers of clothing, extra sleeping bags, a ten to the to break the wind, any of that can be really important. >> okay. elizabeth cohen, stand by if you will, again, connie yang and suz

cnn meteorologist and severe weather expert chad myers is in the cnn weather center. he joins us now. what's going on, chad? >> let me explain what ground stop means to the lay person out there that doesn't get this. this means that if you're on an airplane and you're wanting to fly to laguardia and you're somewhere around the new york city metro area, your plane is going to sit there on the tarmac waiting for this ground stop to leave. not everywhere, planes can still leave from far away destinations like l.a. and phoenix, those places, but the close destinations have to hold, they have to sit there and not try to get in the air because they don't want them spinning around. baltimore, you see all the ground stops. let me get to the delays, because this is what's really put you at unease. 45 minutes, bwi. laguardia, two hours. newark, 90 minutes. philadelphia, one hour. d.c.a., 90 minutes. there's one right here, ground delays in boston at an hour. newark, jfk at three hours and 25 minutes right now. and the storms aren't even to new york city yet but it's been windy.
