won't stop until he has a telescope in deep space that will detect life-threatening astroids headed towards earth. they're both dedicating their lives to changing the world. i am dr. sanjay jay gupta. hope to see you back next week. this is cnn breaking news. >> welcome to the "cnn newsroom." we're following a big flooding taking place in central texas. san antonio in particular. a severe flash floods have taken over many parts of the city, the roads as well as neighborhoods. you are seeing the rescue of someone on a roof top and this claimed the life of one person. they say it swept a woman right out of her car and they say at least one person is missing. crews have rescued about 100 people in all. take a look at the images.

heavy rain relentless resulting in this kind of flooding. more than 9 inches of rain fell today alone and in san antonio river has hit a new record, one woman describing exactly what it was like for her. >> under water 20 minutes ago. i came over and i own the property and my daughter couldn't get to her car. the property is flooded. the water is swarming through, and i just came over to check to see what i could do. obviously there is nothing that i can do right now. >> people feeling really helpless there. karen mcginnis here with more on this. we're talking about a flash flood that took place as a result of some pretty sizable rain amounts just today alone. >> it was a one-day event and even the warning, they had already seen 3 inches of rain. when i say this morning i am talking about 3:00 local time. it got additional heavy rain and just never moved out and kept

moving in from the southeast. take a look at this. the rivers are swollen. where you saw the rescue for the rescue operation in the kodiak where they took the gentleman off the roof, this is actually a golf course and you can see he put on his vest. he got in and after they went. seemingly he was nonetheless for wear but what a frightening event. one fatality also reported from this. a woman apparently had been in her car and it does not take that much water to float an automobile. you would think it would. they found her body and the abandoned automobile. what can san antonio or southeast texas expect over the next couple of hours? i told you about to this training effect of the moisture coming up from the gulf of mexico. s that what produced this volume of rainfall right along the interstate region that circles

around san antonio, interstate 410 extending down to corpus chris at this. it was this area we saw severe flooding. i want to point out one other area we have. a tornado warning in effect just to the north of corpus chris tie. one other thing. this doesn't look that interesting but believe me the information is fascinating this river, the san antonio river, rose almost vertically if you can imagine, just in a very short period of time. the record was set back in 1998, fred. they broke that record and that was a four-day event they saw in 1998, like 22 inches of rain. this was 10 inches of rain and it shot up and over 34 feet. that's why we have seen such severe flooding across the region. >> goodness. you know, just a warning to people when they see the

standing water, what appeared be to the roadway, they just need to turn around, right, instead of trying to plow through it. it is not worth it. there are currents with that high water as well and people don't know that. >> absolutely. >> they get caught by surprise. >> i will be back at the bottom of the hour with more information. >> thanks so much, karen. appreciate that. folks still reeling in oklahoma from the devastation earlier in the week. today it is a town of mixed emotions. happiness because there are a number of high school seniors getting their diplomas today and then sadness because so many victims were laid to rest. seniors from one of moore's three high schools are about to start their graduation ceremony. another school graduated this morning and the third class turns their tassels later on tonight. for one teacher it meant a lot to see her students graduate days after they helped her clean

up her destroyed home. >> we had probably 75 students that all of a sudden caravanned down to my house. it was like we had no parking spots because all of these cars were there. we started them at one end of the three acres and it looked like a wall of students and with trash cans and trash sacks and they literally picked up every sti stick. they did an awesome job. >> as the celebrations go on, some families are mourning their loved one, three funerals for victims today. there are amazing stories of bravery coming out of the oklahoma tornado disaster and this is one that caught our attention about a seventh grader that became a hero when the circumstances demanded one. here is nick valencia. >> as he walked through the rubble of the now levels school

dylan ellis was bewildered. >> look. that's destroyed. >> it was the first time he had been back since the tornado struck. >> i don't know how we survived this. >> he remembers taking shelter in the middle school locker room. >> right through here. >> he remembers being surrounded by the cries and screams of 50 children. >> lights went off. you could hear it hit the building like loud and comes and takes off the roof. >> no one was killed when the tornado destroyed high land east middle school. this wasn't just a miracle. >> isn't the choir room gone. >> the choir room is gone. >> quietly standing next to him is his 12-year-old classmate, seventh grader diane lee. on monday dylan probably saved her life. >> did you feel like you were going to get sucked away? >> yes, like the wind around me was like circles and everything

and the ground wasn't underneath me any more and he held onto my hand. >> i see her start to go up and jump on her and lay on her and grab on the bottom of the lockers inside the ground and one that is one tipped over i pushed her out of the way and then all of the debris starts to hit me. >> how did you think so fast or do what you do. >> i just thought of her as my family. what would i do if they started to go up? didn't think. just did it. >> how happy are you that he did? >> really happy or else i probably wouldn't be here. >> already best friends since the start of the school year, dylan and diane say the tornado has brought them even closer. >> can't believe we are actually in there and actually got out and he helped me. >> how do you do in school? >> decent. i do okay. >> middle school years are tough, even without a tornado. dylan and diane have ended the semester with an important

lesson, that in your darkest hour friendship will see you through. >> oh, my gosh. nick joining us now. what an inspiration those two kids and how brave he is as well. so overall are most of the students coping much like they are? >> they have gone through a lot and today as you mentioned three area high schools graduated, south moore, west moore, and the high school of moore itself. for a lot of people this was the normalcy they needed. a lot of them lost friends and parents and they lost their homes. as insignificant as the valuables may seem, it is the little small things that make the biggest difference in a time like this. we're still in a neighborhood that as you can see is going through the clean up process and the recovery process. we have been here since the beginning and the debris is being cleaned up but it is debris being stacked in piles and there is a long road ahead for the people of moore.

if there is an uplifting part it is how friends are helping friends and neighbors are helping neighbors. the kindness and the resill jens is just overwhelming. fred. >> how. and then nick as you are talking we're looking at live pictures of the south moore high school graduation. we mentioned there was one this morning. one right now. some really happy faces there. i am sure many of these students are trying not to even think about what they have been through in the last week. they're trying to look straight ahead, but this tornado has impacted so much lives there in moore. it doesn't seem like anybody will for get the experience of enduring this monster of a tornado in that town ever. >> no, not at all. for a lot of the children here and students their lives will be divided by before the storm and after the storm. we spoke to a neighbor that has been helping us out. we spoke to his son and he told us about his son and he feels like his son has grown up four years in the last four days. it is just really had a heavy

impact on the community but you don't hear a lot of complaints from people. you don't hear a lot of frustration oran the anger. it is the helping hands that neighbors are giving neighbors and people are being strong when they need to be most. >> so nice. nick, thanks so much. so nice to see the smiling faces of the graduates class of 2013 itself. moore high school. thanks so much, nick. more tonight on anderson cooper special report. get an up close look from the storm chasers point of view. they risked their lives trying to alert others about this disastrous storm. storm hunters in the path of disaster tonight 7:00 eastern time only on cnn. new images to show you of the moments right after a bridge collapse north of seattle, washington. the ntsb released these photos just a short time ago.

take a look there. unbelievable. you can see two cars falling into the skagit river when the bridge gave way. police say an 18 wheeler caused the collapse after it hit one of the over head beams thursday, the skagit rivers that. ntsp inspectors are investigating the accident and washington's governor says it will cost $15 million to repair the bridge. you see the vehicles in the water miraculously no one was killed. we're finding out new information in the brutal killing of a british soldier in broad daylight in london. there are legislators britain's intelligence service known as the m i5 asked one of the suspects to spy for them. the suspect was the man recorded right after wednesday's horrifying attack holding a meat cleaver in this still image and

his hands covered in blood. cnn is in london. nima, what can you tell us about this offer to spy for the british government? >> this was information that was revealed by a close friend of michael and in an interview with the bbc. he claimed that after being caught trying to get into somalia through kenya that the british security services, the domestic security agency mi 5 made an offer to michael to spy for them. of course we have reached out to the security services here and they have said that they will never, would never comment on such an issue but anecdotally it is a story that does have resonance. we have heard this story repeatedly from young british men, converts to islam, muslim born that say when they are perceived to have associates within a certain kind of radicalized community they are then approached by the security services and asked to work on

their behalf, fredricka. >> what more do we know about the possible ties to militant groups and how investigators are able to learn more or probe more about how many people may be in the london proper metropolitan area. >> this is a story that seems to be unfolding on a much broader scale than first imagined. initially the suspicion was they were working the stereotypical lone wolves but we understand from the counter terror authorities that he faced terror charges in kenya in november in 2010 he actually was up in front of a magistrate in the coastal town of mombasa allegedly for trying to cross through an island off the coast of kenya into the south of somalia. this is a route that is very popular among those seeking to

join the al qaeda linked militant group and gives you a sense perhaps it was part of a broader recruitment network. there is a lot of concern about the area where that attack was carried out. there is a lot of concern about what the authorities knew. if he was apprehended in kenya as far back as 2010 and he was definitely on the radar, then what does it mean about how he managed to slip off the radar? this and other questions will hopefully be addressed early next week when the intelligence and security committee hears from the mi 5 bosses, fredricka. >> thank you so much. coming from london for us this afternoon. when disaster strikes here in the u.s., will you be ready? we'll talk with had money expert clark howard about how to prepare for perhaps a tornado or perhaps even a hurricane. we'll get more from the international security analyst on that london terror suspect.

that's where we're dealing with the ten plus inches of rainfall that produced the severe flooding. this is just to the north or northwest of corpus christie. it is in victoria, texas, the county of victoria, and that warning goes in effect until the bottom of the hour local time. if a warning is issued or you have a weather radio, take cover immediately. it was cited by the public and confirmed by the national weather service there was a tornado in this pink shaded box. that's where the cell was located right here just to the north of the mall in that area. it looks as if it is moving towards the north. we'll bring you more details as we receive it. a word of warning, a tornado warning in victoria, texas. take cover immediately.

we'll keep you updated on that as well as the severe flooding in san antonio in the next few minutes. >> keep us posted. when you talk about the flooding in san antonio, texas, i know you mentioned earlier we're talking about the san antonio river rising at an incredible rate of speed after 10 inches of rain and live images right now. karen has been reporting about 10 inches of rain today and already seeing a record being set involving that san antonio river that is over flooded in certain areas. we have seen there have been roads washed out, at least the report of at least one death, a woman in her car and a search continues for one other person and plucked many people off the roof tops where the water just simply got way too high and folks had nowhere to go we'll keep you posted on the flooding situation in san antonio and then of course the tornado warning out of victoria, texas.

also following a breaking news out of france where a soldier there has been stabbed. the soldier was on patrol in a business area on the outskirts of paris when he was attacked. french officials say his wounds are not light threatening. police tell cnn the attacker is on the loose. they described him as a bearded man in his 30s wearing what appears to be religious clothing under his jacket and of course many of these details are still very abroad and of course we'll try to get more information about the suspect and information about the soldier that was stabbed there just outside of paris. we're also learning more about the suspect in the killing of a british soldier in broad daylight in london. there were reports that britain's intelligence service known as the mi 5 asked one of the suspects to spy for them. juliet is cnn's national security analyst and joins us

from newtown, massachusetts. as it pertains to the london attack, taking place in broad daylight and now we're hearing reports that perhaps this intelligence service was looking for people to be kind of infiltrators or perhaps be informants, is this common practice as far as you know? >> yes, it is quite common practice in britain and britain has i much more aggressive domestic intelligence apparatus and much greater what you might call home grown or militant community. they experienced it on july 7th with the subway and bus attacks a couple years ago. they have a more aggressive stance so the idea that they were trying to recruit citizens

is not new. it is something they do. the challenge now and why the story will be a big one if true is that they were recruiting the very guy who turns around, clearly i guess i would say unsophisticated the afact was grotesque, and it was also in daylight. he knew he was going to get caught. they were trying to recruit him is a wig story because if they couldn't, why they weren't following him is a question they will have to answer. >> if that's a tactic in britain, the m55 would use, do you know of that procedure ever taking place or being a situation in the u.s. as it pertains to large gatherings or regular gatherings about a certain persuasion and whether any of our intelligence folks would be targeted or looking towards anyone who would regularly attend those gatherings and want to recruit them as informants? >> yes. so we do have a series of both

federal and state laws that apply to this. if someone goes from just thinking a bad thing to actually preparing it, certainly there can be preliminary investigations, but it is a great point because local police departments where this essentially falls, right, have two different approaches to different communities that live in their jurisdictions. one is you could call it the nypd approach, they have gotten into trouble for. it is aggressive, search and seizure, something called the demographic unit targeting communities and the other is one that boston lives by and other communities have tends to be more integration community involvement, get these communities to feel comfortable with police and neither is perfect. terrorism happens under both. it is certainly something that is happening throughout the united states. the mi 5 issue is different. if the internal investigation unit tried to recruit him and then he turns around and commits

terrorism, there is going to be an accounting. >> wow. julia, thanks so much from newtown, massachusetts today. appreciate your insight. >> thank you. >> a high school student's relationship could affect the rest of her life. she is a big legal trouble right now. i will tell you why she didn't take a plea deal in order to get out of se of this trouble.

president obama heads to oklahoma tomorrow. he will get a firsthand look at the devastation but the political storm in washington will be waiting for him when he returns. ron brownstein is cnn's senior political analyst joining us from washington. good to see you, ron. >> hi, fred. >> the president is dealing with controversies from the u.s. military, sexual assault cases to the irs and tomorrow he will be consoler in chief in oklahoma. how he handles this natural disaster could help him weather the storms in washington, couldn't they? >> this role of consoling a nation, mourner in chief, consoler in chief, really has become part of the president's portfolio, maybe the most dramatic example helping him turn the political tide was bill clinton in 1995 after the oklahoma city bombing. that came after the republicans had taken over congress and you see him very much on his heels and really seemed to speak to

the nation in a very effective way that helped him reverse the tide. i think it has become a little more common since then and unlikely to significantly change the political dynamic, but it is one of the roles a president now plays in which he is speaking to the whole country and that can only help him. >> the cnn orc poll showing his approval rating last week. you and i talked about it despite the controversies, that he still remains hugely popular. any indication that those approval ratings might change, particularly after the irs hearing this week and now even kind of the drum beat is getting louder as it pertains to attorney general eric holder that he continues to be on the defensive? how may all of this impact the president, his handling of his team? >> we're a deeply polarized country. the approval rating is around 52, 53, not much different than the vote in 2012. he has a strong base and a

significant strong opposition. the biggest risk for the president really hasn't yet materialized. in this story, i think, it is going to be hearings and rises to something else if evidence emerges that officials from the administration either the treasury department or the white house directed the irs to target conservative groups. that makes this a different story. until it happens i think it is not likely to significantly affect his standing with the public although it could have some drag as time goes on. i don't think a big one unless you cross that fire break. >> how about as it pertains to the military, especially the sexual assault investigations, the president speaking very firmly, challenging the military to do better as did the defense secretary hagel when he was at west point today. does that investigation impact this administration in any way in terms of this administration trying to get some more things done? >> i think it is a somewhat

contained and unusual issue. we're at a point almost everything divides the party sharply. this is very different. we're seeing a bipartisan reaction to this led by female senators from both parties and i think this is something that as i say is a contained iran that is not likely to affect the broad era jend a. the agenda that he laid out this week, the very ambitious agenda on rethinking the legal architecture of the war on terror, something that he very clearly wants to have in place by the time he leaves office, that's another matter. there you see republicans kind of line up in a more predictable way and i think on the issue of sexual harassment and sexual kind of threats in the military, that is something that i think very much is departing from the basic reflects a pattern of partisanship we're seeing on most fronts now. >> the universal consensus on that. thanks so much, ron. always good to see from you washington. thanks so much. >> appreciate it. indeed so many amazing stories emerging from the tornado disaster in moore, oklahoma. among them, a team led by a 2008

cnn hero, tad agoglia. >> i have never seen anything like this. >> watching the news and literally seeing this tornado touchdown right before our very eyes. >> oh, my god. >> we knew it was powerful. >> there it is. it is a mile right there. >> the first response team was prepositioned and we were able to get here within two hours after the strike. we saw a massive destruction right off the bat. we were able to get police escorts and we were brought right to the school. search and rescue had just begun. we had some equipment onsite that really was needed. cranes, to lift up heavy debris, cat machines with grapple buckets to move the debris out of the way. we were digging through an area of the school where we thought there could be young children trapped. seeing the deasks, pieces of

severe flash floods have taken over parts of san antonio, texas, today killing one person. fire officials say the water swept a woman right out of her car. her body was found near a creek. officials say one person is

missing and crews have had to rescue about 100 people. the heavy rain has been relentless today, more than nine inches have fallen and the san antonio river has hit a new flood record. karen maginnis with more on that. pretty remarkable record that broke one that took many days to set. this one just took one. >> it does. this is less than a 24 hour time period, about 12, maybe 14 hours and this morning we saw a record rainfall amount at 3:00 this morning in san antonio. they already had three inches of rain and have seen close to ten inches and it looks like the train of moisture is going to continue but i don't think you will see the volume of rain that we have seen in the past 12 hours or so. it will be there. it will start to shut down going tomorrow morning. now, having said that, look at what happened. i know this doesn't look very interesting. essentially this tells us a lot. look how the river here, the san antonio river just spiked out of nowhere.

it jumped up to a record 34 feet plus. the old record was at 32. you may have seen those pictures of the person being rescued off of the golf course. right to the side of your screen you can see live pictures coming out of san antonio from our affiliate ksat. here is the rescue of this gentleman was on top of a building that was on a golf course. the golf course was inundated and they had the rescue operation in the kodiak and he put on his life vest and got into kodiak and off they go. he appears to be fine. as fredricka just mentioned, there is one fatality, a woman whose body was found as well as her automobile. they are saying look at those gauges before you go into some of these dry washes. the other thing that we have to tell you about, ands that the tornado warning. it goes to the top of the hour. this is in victoria, the county of victoria is to the north of the city of victoria and has a history of a brief tornado and

appears that the cell is just weakening, tapering off even as we speak and nonetheless, fred, tells us the atmosphere is still capable of a lot of volatility and very fierce weather. >> all right. thanks for the warning. appreciate that. keep us posted on that both we're talking the flooding and the tornadic potential there in victoria. so we'll of course continue to watch all of those fronts. we'll also take you back to moore, oklahoma. tomorrow is sunday. a lot of people there are relying on faith to get them through the aftermath of that horrific tornado. we'll talk with a pastor in moore straight ahead.

when a huge tornado struck moore, oklahoma, earlier this week a lot of people were praying for themselves and for the people they love. right now they're relying on

that same faith to get them through the aftermath. life church tv has thousands of members in the area. bobby is a pastor at life church and joining us now from moore, oklahoma. good to see you. >> good to be with you, fredricka. >> so we have heard from so many victims who when that tornado was bearing down on their community, they were praying out loud and they have continued to pray even in the aftermath. what is it about that community where faith really is at the core? oklahomaans are full of faith and here in oklahoma city in particular we have been through tragedies in the path and a community that has really come together and most importantly around faith. we have people here that really believe god is good all the time even in the midst of these tragedies, and i think in times like this one when others are maybe asking questions people here in oklahoma m of them, are

actually turning to god in these times and realize that he is good and faithful. >> and then you do occasionally hear from people whose homes were taken or loved one was taken and then they do ask, you know, where was god? what do you tell them? >> you know, it is natural, i think, during this process of kind of grieving sometimes to ask some of these types of questions and god is here. he is present. he didn't cause this to happen. he is good. he is faithful. i think as people process through that, we may help them know that god is close to those who are broken hearted and it says that in the psalms and it is in times like these that are not the times to turn prosecute from god but rather to god during these times and to the church. >> you and your members have helped out in a big way there in moore by cleaning up whether it be to help go through the debris of people's homes, helping them find belongings, et cetera, and apparently one priority was for you all to clean up a cemetery

there in moore. why is that? what did you discover or what took place in the process there? >> sure. i think right in the aftermath we had just enormous number of people that wanted to just come and do something, find a way to help and we understood the first responders were doing their job and it wasn't a time for thousands of people to descend in the middle of it. we worked with the relief organizations to sort of find some things that maybe we could do and we partnered with another church here in the community and i think about 1,000 people came down to clean up a cemetery. that was something that was sort of out of the way and we knew it would be a matter of time before that cemetery would unfortunately need to be used, so it was a way that we could take the energy and the just the strong desire the people had, helping and able to find a way for them to do that. >> have you been coordinating with other church groups there because this is a massive

undertaking to help out the hundreds of people hit there, thousands of people hit. >> i think that's one of the best parts really of the story, of the relief effort is so many churches locally have come together. there is a strong coordination effort between churches of different denominations. we actually have churches from all over the world contacting us and how they can help, so we have people from australia, from california, from different parts of the u.s., that have been calling us to help and this is a time when the church really unites together because before long the media will have to leave and so will some of the national relief organizations, but the church will be present here and the churches that are here in this community will be present for many, many years to come and so it is really important that we unite together right now to help each other and help our community. >> thanks so much for your time and all the best as you continue to help the folks there, your neighbors, your friends in moore, oklahoma. >> thank you. all right.

faces, i think this might overwhelm me. dr. sanjay gupta, cnn reporting. >> wow. that is extraordinary. just a week away, hurricane season upon us. what can you do to stay prepared? we'll have tips right after this.

to have a basement, where we have a supply of water, and some nonperishable foods. is the first thing, is you have to look after your health and safety. financially, though, one thing i'm finding is that people are terribly underinsured. that somebody may have bought a home more than five years ago, they've never raised the coverages they had for their home. and if you have a catastrophic loss, you're financially broken. because you will not have enough homeowners insurance coverage to rebuild your home or to replace your possessions. >> so you're saying you need to increase your insurance coverage? or how do you -- >> absolutely. >> go about that, even if your home has depreciated in value. or even if you have paid off your home or you're close to paying it off? >> thank you for asking the question the way you did. because with what happened through the real estate bust, a lot of people thought increase my home owners insurance, are

you crazy? crazy like a fox. because the cost of construction continues to rise even as -- and home values are rising again. but even if your home had dropped in market value, if it was a total loss or substantial loss, it would take a lot of money to rebuild it. so that's why every three years you should go to your insurer, and have them evaluate whether or not you have adequate insurance. because most of the time you will be underinsured, and the insurer is not going to pay all the costs to the rebuild your home. one other thing, on that point, is make sure your possessions, the portion of your insurance that pays for your household goods, that you have what's known as replacement value coverage. otherwise your insurer will say, that's three years old. we're only going to give you 25 cents on the dollar for that it costs you only a tiny amount more in premiums to have that replacement value coverage on

your possessions. >> how do you you know say this was my property at this location, and you know, i've got nothing to show for it. >> in terms of documenting what you have, i recommend once a year, at the time we switch to daylight savings time or we switch back to standard time, that you videotape your home. you do a walk and talk, and you videotape everything you have, and instead of having to worry where you put it, you store it with one of the cloud surfaces. where you can store things up in outer space, wherever the cloud is. so if you did have a catastrophic loss, you've walked around the house, you say we got this new tv last month. we paid this number of dollars for it, it's a 42-inch television. these are our clothes and you walk through and you describe all your possessions. so that later the insurer is not thinking, hey you're just trying to get one over on us. you can provide a videotape showing that it's no more than

one year old, everything you have and what you paid for it. >> and the value of it. >> don't necessarily have to have those receipts, because that, too, may have been blown away. that's going to be enough for your insurance companies. >> that's right. >> all great advice, but that's why we turn to you, clark howard. >> thank you so much. of course you can watch clark howard on hln's "evening express," monday through friday, 5-7 p.m. a florida teen faces charges for her relationship with a 14-year-old girl. her response to a possible plea deal, next. face it with puffs ultra soft & strong. puffs has soft, air-fluffed pillows that are dermatologist tested to be gentle on your skin. face every day with puffs softness. face every day in communities like chicagong. we're coming together with the city and military veterans for the coca cola foundation's troops for fitness.

it seems outrageous to the family, but the punishment. kaitlyn hunt is facing 15 years in jail, and a lifetime labeled as a sexual predator. she turned down a plea that

would have offered house arrest and probation, because it would have meaned two child abuse felonies on her record. a decision like that is like the lesser of two evils, her loif has been destroyed already. >> but the parents of the younger girl say hunt knew the relationship was not appropriate. >> we had actually told miss hunt that this was wrong. >> court documents show police believe based on a facebook message, quote she knows she's 18 and there can be consequences for their relationship. >> we had no alternative but to turn to the law. and use, and as basically a last resort. >> the sheriff of this small town near vero beach says this is not about anyone's sexual orientation. in florida, a 14-year-old can't consent to sex. >> we have had cases in the past where we've had same-sex similar circumstances. albeit some of the evidence may not have been as intriguing, i

guess. we've also obviously had 18-year-old males with relationships with 14-year-old female. >> but her family believes the younger girl's parents wouldn't be upset if kaitlyn was a boy. >> we would not be here if the parents were not -- to take it criminally, i feel like they're using the age law to pursue their agenda. >> a claim the other family rejects. >> did didn't come from us. because that's not how we feel. >> when hunt goes to trial in june, she'll have the backing of the ac lu. whose state attorney bruce colton told cnn, i do think it's a shame that this case couldn't be settled in some other way. now that kaitlyn hunt rejected the plea bargain, what she's risking is a trial where she could be convicted. she's facing 15 years and a lifetime labeled as a sexual predator. sarah gannum, cnn, miami. we're monitoring severe flooding right now in texas. fire officials say one person

officials say one man is missing. crews have rescued about 130 people now off the roofs of homes and cars. and they have gotten even more calls of possibly more than 250 calls for help. but there are no other reports that anyone is hurt at this time. more than nine inches have rain have fallen in parts of bear county today. the san antonio river it has hit a new record. fire officials are warning people of course to stay off the roads. when you see that high water, you just got to turn around. karen mcginnis, a meteorologist here in the severe weather center. there's a lot that they're dealing with right now. >> they want to know what's going to happen later on today. and here is essentially the scenario that we are drawing now. it looks like in that area, from interstate 35, here's 35, here's 10 and here's 37. it will be this corridor that could see additional rainfall. sometimes heavy.

sometimes severe. that's what we've seen over the last couple of hours. as it shifted further east from san antonio. san antonio out of it completely? no, there could be a few leftover showers, could be maybe isolated heavy. but for the most part, we've watched it shift east so what can we expect as we go towards the evening? well as i mentioned, it looks like the eastern corridor can't rule out the possibility of a thunderstorm here or there. but this is what we have seen over the last couple of hours, some reports of tornadoes that have made their way into victoria county, as well as goliad county, there have been several warnings. there were a few very brief tornadoes that are reportedly that have touched the ground. no reports of any injuries or damage as of yet. but nonetheless, there is that potential. the atmosphere is very saturated. the temperatures have been very warm. we've got the return flow or the

flow coming up from the gulf of mexico. so tornado warning goes until 3:30. and this is that goliad county and refusio county and here is that particular cell, that we'll be watching as it moves north at about 15 miles per hour. as fred mentioned, we've seen just about ten inches of rainfall in san antonio. and they are saying that those rivers are still going to remain high, at least it looks like until tomorrow. take a look at these images. you see that bus? there were reportedly three people that were rescued off of that bus. to our knowledge, they are fine. we don't have any reports other than they were rescued. there's a kodiak. the rescuers got a gentleman from off the top of a building on a golf course and it was enough to wade in after a certain point. but fred, very scary moments, it's not over yet. i mean you can't recover that quickly from ten inches of rainfall. >> oh, my goodness. all right so folks have to continue to be cautious.

because that flash flooding could continue throughout the evening when you have that kind of rainfall. right? the water could rise and catch a lot of people offguard. >> yes, the worst hours we saw were about mid day today. after ten inches of rain, you see all that rain coming down and all of a sudden the rivers start filling up and you wonder uh-oh, that's what was happening there. >> all right. thanks so much. our karen mcginnis, appreciate that. maybe the biggest challenge people are facing in moore, oklahoma is rebuilding their lives, pretty huge. that might take a little longer than rebuilding the town. but it is already beginning. a slow return to some normalcy. just a little. nick valencia joins us live now. what sort of things are you seeing, that say that people are trying to move forward? i know this is also a big graduation day. >> you talk about normalcy, fred, that is what a lot of the kids that are graduating today from south moore, west moore and moore high school are focusing on. this is a day where they can

sort of do away with the depression, do away with the sadness they've all been feeling over the course of the last week. we spoke to a couple of students at the graduation today earlier today. one of them said they're just very thankful that they're able to move on. >> i know a lot of kids lost family members, i mean i know tons of people that lost their homes. so it's one of those things that they thought about moving it back to where they could go to funerals and stuff like that. >> so you're glad it's today? >> yes, i'm glad it's today. it means to me that we're not going on different routes, we're staying on the same path that we were meant to be on. >> fred, i want to read you something if the valedictorian of south moore high school. this is something we just got in from our crew there. it says we are damaged, but we survived. we're hurt, but we are resilient. we are graduating, but we are not done with our successes. these students, so emotional over the course of last few days, just trying to grasp on as you mentioned to that normal

lifetime, a lot of them have lost family members, they've lost friends, loved ones, they're all left with that memory of the uniqueness that every one of those loved ones leaves behind. today was a very big day for those high school graduates. and right now, we're just thankful for them and we're thankful for their time that they've given us and they're happy to be focusing on the being the class of 2013, a very proud day and a lot of congratulations to them. fred? >> big proud day. meantime, just looking at the backdrop behind you, nick. and you know, we use the words you know returning to normalcy. it just doesn't even seem possible when you look at the damage behind you. and you know, people still picking through, trying to find just one thing in some cases to hold on to.

does it seem like folks are having ha hard time? >> oklahomans have faith and resilience. i've heard no one complain here. i've heard no one be frustrated here. it's like as if they're prepared to deal with things, oklahomans have gone through a lot, they've dealt with a lot of tornadoes, the tornado back in 1999. the oklahoma city bombing tragedy is something they're accustomed to dealing with. and it seems as though they're prepared to go forward and move forward with their lives. fred? >> nick valencia, appreciate that, from moore, oklahoma. we have new images of something else tragedy taking place. north of seattle, in washington, can you believe these cars were on this bridge when a portion of that bridge simply collapsed. sending it right into the river. now the ntsb has released these images and they did so, not too long ago. you can see the cars that fell into the skagit river when the bridge gave way.

police say an 18-wheeler caused a collapse after it hit one of the overhead beams thursday. ntsb inspectors are investigating the accident. washington's governor says it will cost $15 million to repair that bridge. . it's been seven months since super storm sandy hit the east coast. they are rebuilding, but a whole lot remains unfinished. we'll take you to the jersey shore, when we come back.

many, many more so damaged they're uninhabitable, being torn down one after the next after the next. all in, sandy took about 40% of the homes in this town. now, a beach so eroded it offers little protection from future storms. >> most people will want to rebuild and will rebuild, i think the reluctance will exist until we can guarantee them safety from a similar storm. >> mayor george neville is fighting for 20-foot high dunes, a protective wall beneath them and quadrupling the width of the beach. >> it has to happen, this town will not survive another series of storms like this. >> stan feels guilty, guilty his home survived. >> so what my neighbors lost, so much. >> most of our neighbors are not here. many homes are not here. they'll never come back. >> do we look young there. >> like the mettlers, after decades of memories --
