friendly audience. there's a team of whimsical characters that fight the forces of evil. that's your movie minute. >> well, our summer movie special with nischelle turner airs tonight at 7:30 p.m. eastern time, 4:30 pacific right here on cnn. thanks so much for starting your morning with us. much more ahead on "cnn sunday morning." that starts right now. good morning, everyone. i'm poppy haar low. 7:00 a.m. on the east coast and 4:00 a.m., bright and early on the west coast. thanks so much for starting your morning with us. we begin this hour with deadly flooding in texas. two women have died after being swept away by flash floods in san antonio. in one case emergency workers reached a woman in her 60s, but then they say the raging water ripped her right out of their grasp. in all, rescuers were able to

get more than 200 people out of places like trapped cars and buses, flooded homes. coming up in about ten minutes we'll talk live with the mayor of san antonio and learn more about what's happening there. but right now i want to bring in our karen maginnis in the cnn severe weather center. good morning, karen. tell us how it looks today because i know yesterday you were telling us you were seeing that record level for the river. >> yes. and we did. we saw lots of records yesterday. poppy, something has changed between the last time that we spoke and now, and that is a cluster of thunderstorms has moved out of west, texas san angelo and is making its way towards san antonio, and what we're expecting over the next several hours is that this activity will start to move on in towards san antonio. as it does, we may see brief but heavy rainfall here. to the tune of one or two inches of rainfall.

now, this is not going to do any more damage than is already there. we've seen the worst of it. a lot of the floodwaters have rece receded. some have not, we understand that, but here we go, looking at this cluster along interstate 10. san antonio, i think it will be in the next one to two house, you'll be right on the edge of that precipitation expected to move through the region. it's this cluster here that's moving towards the south and southeast, and so we're upping those rain chances for san antonio to about an 80% likelihood. now, after this moves through, it does appear that the rest of the day should be mostly dry, and we might see an isolated shower. that will be just about it. 6 to 10 inches of rainfall yesterday. the bulk of that. that's not really a 24-hour rainfall total though technically it is, but that essentially came over the course of about 12 to 15 hours, and there you're seeing the end

result of what happened after 10 inches of rain falls across this region. nowhere to go. a number of rivers out of their streams, especially along the interstate 410 that is officially the perimeter of san antonio. two reported fatalities. one person missing, and, poppy, i'll be here throughout morning, and we'll continue to update as san antonio braces for another round of rainfall. >> yeah, please do let us know what you hear. thanks so much, karen. appreciate it. well, president obama heading to oklahoma this afternoon nearly a week after that deadly tornado claimed 24 lives and left the city of moore in ruins. the president is expected to speak this afternoon there just around 2:15 eastern time, and then he'll tour the damaged areas. after that he'll head back to washington just as the residents of moore prepare to hold a memorial service to honor the victims and reflect on the community's tragedy. i'm joined now from moore, oklahoma, but our nick valencia

there reporting through all of this. nick, thanks for being with us this morning, and i know that you attended some of those graduation ceremonies that happened in the convention center in oklahoma city yesterday. what was that like? >> reporter: it was a very emotional day. it was the first time we saw a lot of people smiling, hugging. it's as if they had, you know, taken the day to forget about what happened just a few days before. a lot of these students, pope, that were graduating. they lost friends. they lost family members. they lost their homes. so it was really was for a brief moment in time a return to normalcy. we spoke to one student who had talked about how he had been so stressed out and really devastated with depression throughout week and how much he was looking forward to that day of graduating and just for a very brief moment putting what happened earlier this week behind him. you know, 24 people were killed. thousands of homes were destroyed, and many of these residents here were impacted. it's tough to talk to somebody who doesn't -- either has been

impacted directly or knows somebody who has been impacted so everybody here has been affected one way or the over. poppy? >> you know, nick, i note president is coming today, and i wonder if people are talking about that at all, if there's anything that they say they need, they want from the administration. what the mood is there right now. >>. >> reporter: well, earlier this week the governor of oklahoma declared a state of emergency for more than 20 counties, and president obama has also already declared more a disaster area, but these residents, believe it or not, poppy, they are really in high spirits for what happened to them. we spoke to residents that asked us how we're doing, if we're doing all right. offering us free food. we're actually going live from somebody's garage, and around us here, the front of these homes that we're looking at in front of us, they have superficial damage and even when you go inside these homes, they are completely wrecked inside. the backyards of homes we're

looking at, combination of ten backyards that mix into one photo, mementoses, and you see behind me here, the front of these homes leveled, destroyed, block after block, piles of debris. you can see behind me here. this is how the blocks in the moore neighborhood look. it will take a long time for residents to clean this up. >> yeah. hearing that they are asking you how you're doing is amazing. i mean, it absolutely speaks to their character and so much to clean up and so much pain to go through. i hope the president's visit brings them comfort. nick valencia. >> a 17-year-old oregon high school school will be in court answering charges related to an alleged plot to set off bombs in his high school. investigators say grant allen accord had built six types of bombs, including pipe bombs and napalm. the bombs were found under floorboards in the boy's bedroom. that's what authorities are saying, and the teenage will be

charged as an adult for attempted aggravated murder. >> the planning in the process, because we have to prove intent, and as part of the planning and the process we have diagrams. we have the research and the studies and the goal, and the goal was to model the columbine shootings with some adjustments that would make it a greater success. >> the d.a. would not comment on when that alleged attack was expected to be cared out. cnn has been trying to reach grant accord's attorney for comment. now let's go to london where there are new developments in the investigation into that grisly killing of a young soldier who was also a husband and the father of a 2-year-old. our aaron mclaughlin has been following the story from there. good morning and good afternoon to you there in london. i know from overnight there were several arrests in the case. what can you tell us? >> reporter: hi, poppy.

well, on saturday three additional arrests in connection with the woolwich murder investigation. we understand the arrests were made on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder. two of the individuals actually had to be tasered before being taken into custody in an investigation that is complex and rapidly developing. since wednesday some eight individuals have been taken into custody. of those eight individuals three of them, two women, and one man have been released from police custody. the man was released on bail. now as for the two suspects that were arrested at the scene of that grisly murder, well, they remain in stable condition in two separate hospitals under armed guard in london. poppy? >> erin, tell us a little bit more about this mi-5 connection or whether or not mi-5 there in london solicited one of the key suspects in this attack to -- to work for them, essentially to be

an informant for them. i know that's what one of his friends told the bbc. is mi-5 reacting to that? >> reporter: that's all what his brother-in-law told cnn yesterday as well saying that mi-5 approached one of the suspects by the name of michael ad adebolajo, one of the main suspects, it's a request he purportedly deny. plenty of questions about what mi-5 knew about these two suspects, when they knew it and what they did with that information. government sources telling us next week mi-5 will give a report to the intelligence and security committee here in the uk. no doubt answering some of those questions. poppy? >> but no response from mi-5 yet? >> not at the moment. >> and in terms of these new arrests that were made on saturday, what we're hearing is that police in london had to taser two of the them.

do we know why? >> reporter: we do not. in this investigation authorities have been incredibly tight-lipped with the information. we don't note identities of those suspects, and we don't know exactly why they have been arrested, so all we know at this point, poppy, is that they were in fact tasered. >> then, of course, we also learned yesterday that in france, a french soldier was stabbed right outside of paris. police are saying because he was a soldier. any indication this could be a copycat crime? >> reporter: well, at the moment french president francois hollande is saying there is no link between the attack that took place on wednesday. as you mentioned a soldier while on patrol in a suburb west of paris was attacked from behind by another individual. he was stabbed in the neck but either a knife or a blade cutter. now, the defense minister in france says that he was attacked

because he was a soldier. and we understand in this case the prosecutor has actually turned over the investigation to counterterrorism officials so we'll have to see what comes out of that investigation. >> erin mclaughlin, great reporting. thanks for joining us. listen to this. overnight hackers attacked the website of change.org. it's actually the world's largest petition platform. a spokesperson for the site says among them petitions to allow d, gay boy scout leaders, after that vote we saw last week and one was to end the prosecution of a florida teenager at center of an underage sex case. change.org says they believe they were modified because they were, quote in, the featured section. large parts of san antonio are under water. look at that and see what people were dealing with. what the city looked like this morning and how are they coping.

rapidly. how are the streets looking this morning? are they still flooded? >> fortunately today it's looking a lot better because there wasn't much of any rain last night. at one point late yesterday the national weather service had been predicting that there might be one to two inches of rain, but that didn't happen, so today it's looking a lot better. most of the streets are clear with the exception of a couple of the highways that go through low water crossing areas that are still being worked on. >> as you look at the damage and the sun rises this morning, earlier where you are than we are, what are you seeing, any estimates on the extent of the damage at this hour? >> we don't have a damage estimate yesterday. of course, they will be forthcoming in short order, but there's some property damage to homes, of course, damage to --

to structures and to cars and that type of thing but a damage estimate hasn't been put together yet. >> and the pictures we're looking at look like somewhat rural areas. in terms of the city, the more populated areas, the homes --

now you may have heard about

this. it has to did with why what president obama did not do when he boarded marine one a few moments ago did, not salute the marine standing guard. the salute has become a tradition for presidents for ronald reagan. after he got on the aircraft, he then came out, see him coming out there, and he shook hands with that marine, there you see it. we should point out that to not salute is not breaking protocol, it's not violating any rule, it's what we see when the president boards marine one. he came back out and shook the marine's hand before boarding back on. that happened on friday. as we celebrate this memorial day weekend with barbecues and beach time, some of us will be working, but overall it's important not to forget the true meaning of the weekend. in his weekly address on saturday, president obama asked americans to set aside some time this memorial day to, quote, honor and remember all the men and women who have given their lives in service to this country that we love. and in a few hours the

president will be leaving washington, and he's headed to oklahoma. he'll be in the city of moore today, that city that was devastated by last week's deadly tornado. oklahoma is not the only item on the president's agenda. >> reporter: good morning, pope. president obama teams up tuesday with new jersey governor chris christie to survey the jersey shore. the visit comes seven months after superstorm sandy slammed into the coast causing billions in damage. the first get-together between the democratic president and the republican governor made big headlines. remember, at the time the presidential election was just over a week away. christie, a major supporter of gop nominee mitt romney, was criticized for praising the president during the storm response. >> i cannot thank the president enough for his personal concern and for the compassion of our state and people of our state. >> reporter: seven months later some republicans are still angry with kristie, and in memories last the teaming up with president obama could hurt

christie request f he runs for the presidential nomination in 2016. wednesday the first lady is in the spotlight. michelle obama teams up with jason collins for a democratic party lesbian, gay, bisexual, trapped gender event in new york city. collins is the nba player who made headlines recently by revealing that he's gay. poppy? >> reporter: paul steinhauser, thank you. thousands of runners going back to boston. they are going to finish what they started, honoring the victims of last month's bombing. that's next, but first let's check in with dr. sanjay gupta for a look at what's coming up on his show. good morning, sanjay. >> pope, if you ever find yourself in a place where tornadoes are a danger, you're going to want to hear what i learned this week in oklahoma, what to do, what not to do that could save your life, and coca-cola says they will be a leader in terms of promoting healthy living. some people are skeptical about this, but the chairman and ceo agreed to answer my questions. we've got it all coming up, 7:30 a.m. eastern. we used to live with a bear.
