MOUND OF DEBRIS BEHIND ME.
WE ARE TOLD THAT A HOME
LITERALLY FLEW INTO ANOTHER.
OVERNIGHT, A LIKELY TORNADO
RIPPING THROUGH THE CHICAGO
SUBURBS.
WITH RECORDS OF POWER OUTAGES,
DOWNED TREES AND EXTENSIVE
DAMAGE, INCLUDING FLOODING AT
OHARE AIRPORT.
THE SEVERE STORM SYSTEM HITTING
INDIANA.
DOWN SOUTH, ANOTHER PATH OF
DESTRUCTION LEFT BEHIND BY
TROPICAL STORM CLAUDETTE.
AT LEAST 12 PEOPLE, INCLUDING 10
CHILDREN, KILLED.
THE STORM TRIGGERING TRUT
TUESDAY CONDITIONS WHERE AUTHORITIES SAY A HYDRO PLANING
AUTHORITIES SAY A HYDRO PLANING
CAR LIKELY SET OFF A CHAIN
REACTION ON THE INCIDENTTERSTATE
ONLY THE RANCH DIRECTOR WHO WAS
DRIVING SURVIVED.
SHE LOST TWO OF HER OWN CHILDREN
IN THE CRASH.
THE MULTI CAR CRASH ALSO KILLING
CODY FOX AND HIS 9-MONTH-D
DAUGHTER ARIANNA WHO WERE IN A
SEPARATE VEHICLE.
>> IVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE
IT.
IT WAS HORRIFIC.
>> THE STORM SPURRED TORNADOS,
TOO, ONE TOUCHING DOWN IN
BRUTON, ALABAMA, FLATTENING
HOMES, RIPPING ROOFS AND TOSSING
DEBRIS FOR MILES.
>> ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE TREES
OVER THIS WAY BEHIND THE HOUSES
OVER THERE, THEY JUST KIND OF
JUST -- IT WAS LIKE THEY
IMPLODED.
>> HIGH WINDS AND LIFE
THREATENING FLOODING ALSO
LEADING TO RESCUES.
DOLPHIN ISLANDS MAYOR SAYING
THEYRE STILL FEELING THE
EFFECTS FROM PAST STORMS.
>> WERE AT A SITUATION THAT THE
SHORE LINE IS JUST SO DECIMATED
AT THIS POINT THAT IT JUST TAKES
VERY LITTLE.
AGAIN, HIGH TIDES, WAVE ACTION,
TO PUSH WATER INTO THE INTERIOR
OF THE ISLAND.
>> THE LASHING IN LOUISIANA,
WASHING OUT STREETS AND PUSHING
WATER INTO HOMES.
>> WE HAD ABOUT 4 INCHES
THROUGHOUT OUR ENTIRE HOUSE.
AND THAT HAPPENED WITHIN ABOUT
AN HOUR.
>> ALONG THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE,
STRONG WINDS AND FLASH FLOODS
BRINGING ROUGH SEAS AND HIGH
SURF.
WHILE FIRE CREWS IN GEORGIA
RESCUED A WOMAN TRAPPED INSIDE
HER CAR, FREEING HER FROM A
FALLEN TREE AND POWER LINES.
>> AND CLAUDETTE IS STILL
PACKING A PUNCH RIGHT NOW IN THE
CAROLINAS.
MEANWHILE, BACK HERE IN EAST
BRUTON, WE HAVE LEARNED SEVERAL
PEOPLE WERE INJURED AFTER THE
STORM CAME THROUGH, BUT ONE
WOMAN SAYS SHE IS LUCKY TO BE
ALIVE.
SHE SAYS SHE WAS LITERALLY
SUCKED OUT OF HER HOME.
SA
SAVANNAH.
TERRIFYING.
THANK YOU, KATHY PARK, THANK
YOU.
>> AL IS ON THE ROAD FOR
ROKER-THON.
GOOD MORNING.
>> HEY, GOOD MORNING, GUYS.
THIS REALLY BRINGS HOME THE FACT
THAT YOU DONT NEED A REALLY
STRONG STORM TO CAUSE BIG
PROBLEMS.
THIS THING IS NOW REINTENSIFIED
INTO A TROPICAL STORM 65 MILES
EAST-SOUTHEAST OF RALEIGH.
ITS MOVING EAST-NORTHEAST AT 25
MILES PER HOUR.
MOVING OFFSHORE QUICKLY.
IT SHOULD BE BE A PROBLEM OVER
THE NEXT HOUR OR SO AND THEN
ITS OUT TO SEA AND NO PROBLEM.
BACK TO OUR WEST, NO SEVERE
WEATHER PUSHING IN HERE.
WE HAVE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
WATCHES UP STRETCHING FROM
NORTHEASTERN, OHIO, PARTS OF
UPSTATE NEW YORK.
THIS SYSTEM IS SPAWNING SEVERE
WEATHER TODAY FOR 26 MILLION
PEOPLE.
WE HAVE THE THREAT OF SOME
TORNADOS, HAIL, AND DAMAGING
WINDS.
OUR RISK CONTINUES TOMORROW FOR
THE MIDWEST INTO THE SOUTHEAST
FOR MORE DAMAGING WINDS, HAIL,
TORNADO THREAT LOW, BUT A LOT OF
HEAVY RAIN.
THIS IS GOING TO BE A PRODIGIOUS
RAINMAKER WITH HOURLY RATES
THROUGH TUESDAY WITH UP TO 2
INCHES PER HOUR IN THE GULF
COAST, MID-ATLANTIC STATES AND
UP INTO THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY,
GUYS.
SO OUR SEVERE WEATHER FROM
CLAUDETTE IS JUST ABOUT OVER,
