to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada, and around the world. i'm kim bruin hube letter ahead on "cnn newsroom," south korea is in mourning right now. more than 150 people in seoul killed in a crowd surge celebrating halloween. a week and a half to u.s. midterm elections, and early ballots are coming in by the millions. one battleground state, see where else each party's heavy hitters are campaigning. the white house accuses russia of weaponizing food. a grain deal to feed much of africa and the middle east now in jeopardy. we're live in kyiv and johannesburg with the fallout. south korea has declared a national day of mourning of a of

ap aft chaotic crowd surge claimed the lives of at least 151 people. thousands of partygoers had gathered for a celebration, but the turn ute so large and the space so small, many people got crushed in the middle of the crowd. here's how one witness described the scene. >> i saw the people going to the left side. i actually saw the person actually getting to the opposite side. so actually, the person in the middle, they got jammed. and they have, you know, no way to communicate. you know, they cannot breathe. >> cnn international correspondent paula hancocks is live at the scene. paula, as people are now trying to grapple with the scope of this enormous tragedy, describe what's happening now as some families are still looking for loved ones and for answers. >> reporter: that's right, kim. we've heard from officials that

a few thousand missing person reports have been filed. the hope, of course, is that that number goes down quickly and significantly. what we do know is some families are still trying to track down their loved ones that were here just last night in the entertainment district of itaewon. this is one of the back alleys that was absolutely packed last night. there are bars, restaurants, nightclubs along here. you can see many of the halloween decorations are still in place. much debris on the ground as well. just about 50 meters up there where you see those policemen is where there is a smaller alley that is at an angle, and that is where many of the -- those that lost their lives were crushed. we have spoken to a number of eyewitnesses who were here last night. one of them telling me that she felt she was lucky because she was pushed into the stairwell of

one of the bars along this street. she said she could see people being pushed along. she could hear screaming. but she felt that she had been extremely lucky. of course, 151 people were not lucky. many questions are being asked at this point. i also spoke to another eyewitness who had started to come into this particular area, which is always packed on the weekend since the covid pandemic restrictions have been lifted. in particular during halloween. she said she tried to get into the area, but it was just too full. she now knows how lucky she was and was watching the aftermath. let's listen to what she said. >> when we start seeing bodies everywhere -- the people who dragged other people from the crowd so they can revive them, because the situation over here was really bad. people are really crowded from from to here. besides the people who were already stuck inside, some people were looking at the others and just faint.

it was so much blood everywhere. some people just start passing out pressing the mouths, trying to give them mouth mouth, help them to come back to life, but they couldn't. >> reporter: there's a significant amount of shock here in seoul that this could have happened. the eyewitnesses i spoke to said that there were no crowd limits, any restrictions of any kind that they could see. of course, that will be one of the questions being asked. >> yeah, absolutely. in terms of the crowd control and also questions being asked in the immediate aftermath about how authorities handled that. >> reporter: well, that's right. we know there was significant fire engines, police cars, ambulances that were here fairly quickly, we understand. but of course what we're also hearing from eyewitnesses is that the sheer number of victims and casualties on the ground did

outnumber the amount of first respond there's were able to cope with that influx. we have heard from one eyewitness that she had seen a number of couples and one was performing cpr on the other because there just weren't enough first responders. she saw that, she said, at least three times. so it just shows the sheer scale of what had happened. we have had investigators going into the alley behind me all day trying to assess the damage and what exactly happened. we saw president yoon suk-yeol visiting. he's called this a national disaster zone, calling for national mourning until november 5th. >> translator: the tragedy and disaster that sha not have happened took place in the heart of soul during halloween celebration last night. i express my condolences to the victims and hope the people who are injured will get better soon. my heart goes out to family members of the victims who are

suffering the heartbreak of losing loved ones. >> reporter: it is a very somber atmosphere here in the heart of seoul's entertainment district of itaewon. people have been coming to lay flowers to show their respects. kim? >> all right, just so tragic. paula hancocks live in seoul, thanks so much. i want to discuss this a bit more with keith still, analyst of crowd safety and risk. he joins us this hour from england. thanks so much for being here with us. so why do you think -- this was so deadly. i mean, talk to me about the physics of what made this such a deadly event. >> certainly. i mean, the analogy here is, like a tachometer in a car. when you rev the engine in the red, there's a high chance of engine failure. same with crowd density. once the density, the packing density, the number of people per square meter increases above six or seven, there's a high

risk of shock waves, progressive crowd collapse, and people toppling like dominos. the more people you have in a confined space, the greater the risk to life and limb. it really is very much the number of people per square meter, duration of exposure, the geometry, and any escape routes that might have been available. so this is a progressive crowd collapse, crowd crush. the surges of crowds, very small forces get amplified in the crowd. the physics is horrendous but the analogy is simple. the car tachometer. keep these environments safe and flowing freely. >> what do you mean by progressive crowd collapse, exactly? you used a term a couple of times. >> this is when people fall against each other and you get a wave of the crowd falling over. like dominos.

but in two dimensions. so that it forms -- very much what we call a shock wave. we've got video footage, we've created models and simulations of this to try and study it. and what happens is the forces get amplified. so as people fall against each other, these forces become very, very strong. extreme high pressure. and many people get caught up. at that point, people are then struggling to get up. arms and legs get pushed together. it takes 30 seconds to cut the blood supply off to the brain if you've got too much pressure on your chest. you can't breathe. oxygen deprivation sets in. and you get the phenomenon called compressive asphyxia or crush asphyxia, where literally the amount of weight on your chest is so great, you can't breathe. suffocation, compressive asphyxia, horrendous. >> exactly, horrendous is the word. to think it might have happened to so many people in this case. it doesn't take that much force from pushing to exert enough

pressure to cause damage, to break ribs, even kill, as you've described? >> no, exactly. studies that were done after hillsborough, a book called "engineering for crowd safety" looked at various experiments on human frames and forms. data was analyzed and published then, which you can't replicate now because it's significant risk to anybody being exposed to high pressure and high density. but it takes five people pushing against one to break a rib, collapse a lung, or smash a head. so if you've got that level of pressure, multiply it by tens of thousands of people. well, it just doesn't bear belief. it's utterly horrendous. >> the fact that this was the first big post-covid event in seoul, what role might that have played here? >> we have seen that after the covid lockdowns, people coming back into public spaces, there's a degree of forgotten behavior.

there's an exuberance. so we see three different types of crowd categories. the covid cautious, those people that are avoiding places of public assembly, so exclude those. the contentious, people that are still argumentative about various rules. and the celebrant. those individuals who are exuberant, overenthusiastic, moving into these spaces, it's great, we're free, we're back again, crowds are here. and they've just forgotten the various risks that are involved. forgotten the behaviors in those environments. coupled with the fact that there's been a skill shortage in trained crowd managers, people that design and manage these spaces. they've all left for other jobs. there were no crowds, nothing to do, so they moved on. those various reports about how the event industry is suffering from a lack of trained, experienced individuals to deal with and understand these risks before they manifest. >> yeah, certainly they'll be poring over all those details,

what could have been done to prevent this from happening. hopefully this will be a lesson for other people as more people open and up we have more and more big events like this. we'll have to leave it there. keith still from england, thank you so much for being here with us. >> thank you for sure, it's a terrible tragedy. the u.s. midterm elections are just over a week away. democrats are pulling out their heavy hitters to drive up voter turnout. former u.s. president barack obama campaigned in wisconsin on saturday, taking special aim at republican senator ron johnson. obama said johnson deserves a gold medal for spreading lies and conspiracy theories about the 2020 election. he also took a fiery swipe at johnson for proposing radical changes to social security. here he is. >> some of you here are on social security. some of your parents are on

social security. some of your grandparents are on social security. you know why they have social security? because they worked for it. they worked hard jobs for it. they had chapped hands for it. they had long hours and sore backs and bad knees to get that social security. and if ron johnson does not understand that, if he understands giving tax breaks for private planes more than he understands making sure that seniors who have worked all their lives are able to retire with dignity and respect? he's not the person who's thinking about you and knows you and sees you. and he should not be your senator from wisconsin. [ cheers ] >> at stake on november 8th is the balance of power in congress. 218 seats are needed to control the house. right now it looks like republicans have a slight lead with 212 likely wins.

in the senate, three seats are considered toss-ups. cnn estimates that 12 are solidly democratic or leaning that way. about 20 are either solidly republican or leaning to the right. both parties are bringing out their biggest names to get their candidates across the finish line in battle ground races. barack obama was here in georgia rallying democrats before heading to michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania, and nevada. president biden will also be visiting pennsylvania as well as florida, new mexico, and maryland. former president donald trump will be campaigning for republican candidates in iowa, pennsylvania, florida, and ohio. more than 19 million ballots have already been cast during early voting from coast to coast. this according to data from election officials, edison research and catalyst. as of saturday, over 2.5 million people have voted in texas. more than 2.4 million have voted in florida. more than 1.5 million have voted in georgia.

the georgia secretary of state's office reports voters are on pace to cast 2 million ballots before election day. that's good news to those who are working to get people to the polls. . >> your vote equals your voice. without a voice, you have no hope because you're not speaking up. local elections is very, very important. especially in georgia. because we've been going through a lot. >> cnn's nanny romero is in atlanta with more. >> reporter: more than 1.3 million georgians have participated in person in the early voting process. and we are outside of one of the busiest polling locations here in fulton county in atlanta. take a look behind me. you can see a line has formed here this afternoon. this is the last weekend of early voting in the state of georgia. when you really look at the numbers, the majority of people who are voting are people in their 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s. we're not seeing as many people come out in the age group of 22

to 29. they only make up about 4% of the ballots that have been turned in so far here in the state of georgia. we spoke with one 19-year-old college student who has been working at this organization to get more people his age civically minded and engaged in the voting process. we asked him why it was so important to him and what his pitch is to people in his generation. take a listen. >> honestly, i say, look at the history. look at how hard it was, you know, 60, 70 years ago for black people to vote. look at the opportunity that we have now. you know, our simple vote could change a whole election, really, looking back at the 2016 election, how those went. just looking at the history, understanding the power and the privilege that we have and that people died to fight for our voting rights. >> reporter: we spoke with other young voters and they say they don't feel like the politicians out there right now are really speaking to issues that matter to them. issues like student loans, will they be able to find a good job when they graduate? they also feel like they're being told, you need to vote but

those politicians leave their neighborhoods and don't come back and they don't feel like there's a real connection there. nadia romero, cnn, atlanta. we're hearing from u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi for the first time since her husband, paul, was viciously attacked in a home invasion on friday. in a letter to her congressional colleagues, the speaker wrote, "our children, our grandchildren, and i are heartbroken and traumatized by the life-threatening attack on our pop. we are grateful for the quick response of law enforcement and emergency services and for the life-saving medical care he's receiving." paul pelosi remains hospitalized with skull fracture and other injuries but is expected to fully recover. the 42-year-old suspect will be formally charged tomorrow with arraignment set for tuesday. the food supply for millions of people around the world could be on the line. we'll look at why russia says it's scrapping a deal that allowed ukraine to send its grain abroad. brazil's presidential race

ukraine is accusing russia of playing hunger games with millions of people desperate for food. this follows moscow announcing it's pulling out of a grain deal signed in july. it allowed ukraine to resume grain exports from its ports, which russia had been blocking as part of its invasion. russia says it's leaving the deal because of alleged ukrainian drone attacks on the russian navy in crimea. the white house responded by slamming moscow for what it called weaponizing food. ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy says moscow has been planning to get out of the deal for weeks. ukrainian grain is a lifeline, not an overstatement in many countries. take a look here. this map gives you an idea how many of them depend on imports from ukraine and russia. the world food program estimates 47 million people worldwide face acute hunger because of russia's invasion. cnn's covering this story, david

mckenzie in johannesburg to talk about the impact on africa. first we go to nic robertson in kyiv. nic, bring us up to speed about why russia made this decision and the reaction. >> reporter: russia is saying it made this decision because vessels it said were involved in guaranteeing this humanitarian food corridor were targeted by ukraine. ukraine has not taken responsibility and tried tone date that this is fiction coming from the russian side. the russians had also said that this operation against their ships was led by british specialists. and the m.o.d. in london, the british ministry of defense, have flatly denied that and called it fabrication. the bigger picture of what seems to be happening, recent weeks here, and this is something president zelenskyy referenced, russia has been criticizing this deal saying it's not working, saying the grain is not going to

the third world, it's mostly going to first world countries. ukrainians have been saying that russia hasn't been keeping good on its promises here. i think take a step back, even, you begin to see a bigger picture which is what we've heard indications of coming from president zelenskyy's office. and that is that russia is trying to create many points of pressure, whether it's threatening the potential of nuclear aggression, whether it's cutting off electricity supplies in the country here, now this, to try to pressure ukraine into negotiations by trying to garner enough world opinion to put pressure on ukraine to make ukraine capitulate and sign up to russia's demands. so the grain deal at the moment, nine ships went out yesterday, there are ten standing by to come and go today. none have left. the grain deal when it was struck three months ago was expected to move 20 million tons of grain. in that time it only moved about 9.1 million tons.

part of the u.n. deal to get this deal off the ground was to give sanctions relief to russia. russia essentially given sanctions relief to get it to sign up to this in the first place. >> all right, nic robertson, thank you so much. we want to go to david mckenzie in johannesburg. what impact could this have on developing nations, including many in africa? >> reporter: kim, global impact. as nic says, a lot of this is believed to be leverage from the russians to try and squeeze ukraine and the group of nations that is supporting it. it is worth noting that the nation that has received the single-biggest shipment of product has been spain. there is a sense that the developing countries haven't received necessarily as much grain as has been talked about. but that doesn't really paint the real picture here. there's two aspects to this. one is the physical grain that

has reached countries like somalia, desperately in need of food. but it's also the price, inflationary pressure that places the entire globe in more of a squeeze because of the shutdown of grain. we were in tunisia earlier this year. just before that, the government had to give more than $100 million in emergency loan from the world bank just to afford wheat for the subsidized prices that they have for their nation. so this means that if there is this cutoff of grain, not just today but into the grain that has come in this harvest, it will have a major impact, potentially, on the inflation. that hurts poorest countries the most. >> so then, david, what about alternatives? is there another route for ukrainian grain, then? >> reporter: well, when this blockade first happened, there

was a great rush of activity to try and figure out where the grain could be shipped, overland, trains, trucks. there has been some acc aspect of this. if you just look how the sheer numbers we're looking at, upwards to this point, as nic said, more than 9 million tons of grain has come out of ukraine. that's just a small percentage of the overall amount of grain that ukraine produces. and other agricultural products. it just doesn't make sense logistically to get it out of the road, through into the european union and elsewhere. it has to be by ship to be effective. and it's a snowball effect. at the moment, it's the current harvest that still needs to get out. they have had a bumper harvest in that region. and it means that if this blockade continues, it really could have a major knock-on effect with inflation and provide a great deal of pressure on nations, especially here in africa, to say there needs to be some kind of negotiated

settlement to this conflict as they feel that squeeze. >> huge impact as you say. david mckenzie, thank you so much. still ahead, much more on the deadly crowd crush in south korea. we'll break down what exactly happened and how officials responded to the tragedy.

♪ welcome back to all of you watching here in the united states, canada, and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. this is "cnn newsroom." south korea is in mourning after a chaotic crowd surge claimed the lives of at least 151 people. these are live images from seoul

where the tragedy unfolded during a halloween celebration. officials say victims were crushed when thousands of partygoers packed a narrow alley. south korea's president has visited the site and declared a national mourning period to honor the victims. he's pledging to investigate the cause of the tragedy to make sure it doesn't happen again. cnn's senior international correspondent will ripley is there in seoul, and he has more on the tragedy in the party neighborhood. some of these images are very disturbing. >> reporter: halloween horror and heartbreak. in seoul's popular night life district, nightmare scenes. the narrow alleys of itaewon lined with lifeless bodies, many in costume. frantic first responders trying to save them. >> this is a row of stretchers that we initially thought were waiting for potential survivors of this incident at a halloween party where thousands of people

were packed into a relatively tight area. but in fact, we've now realized that these stretchers are being used to bring back bodies. we've just seen body after body rolling past here. >> reporter: most of those hurt or killed in their late teens and 20s. the local fire chief says young people from south korea and beyond. witnesses say itaewon's iconic halloween festivities always draw an international crowd. this video on twitter shows an apparent lack of crowd control. a sea of bodies pouring into a tiny area. an ominous warning telling people to be careful. police and emergency crews rush to the scene. shortly after 10:00 p.m. local saturday night. yon hap news agency reported emergency lines flooded with calls from people in the packed area saying they were stuck,

suffocating. some who fell down apparently crushed under a growing pile of people. official causes of death not confirmed, but yun hap reporting dozens suffered cardiac arrest. >> i saw the people going to the left side, and i actually saw the person actually getting to the opposite side. so actually, the person in the middle, they got jammed. and they have, you know, no way to communicate. and they, you know -- they cannot breathe. >> reporter: the fire chief calls this a presumed stampede. the investigation is ongoing. social media video shows emergency crews struggling, pulling injured and unconscious victims from the narrow al alleyways jammed with hundreds if not thousands of people. south korean president yoon suk-yeol holding an emergency cabinet meeting. the tragic incident being treated as a national disaster.

authorities say hospital beds and morgues filling up fast. president yoon making rapid identification of victims a top priority. anxious families and friends desperately waiting for word, waiting for loved ones who left for a night of halloween fun and haven't come home. will ripley, cnn, seoul. >> stay with cnn for developments in this unfolding story. we will return to seoul for a live report from the scene of the tragedy this about 30 minutes. early voting is under way in many u.s. states as the midterms are just over a week away. u.s. president joe biden is making his closing pitch telling voters this election will shape what the country looks like for the next decade or more. cnn's kim liptak has more from

wilmington, delaware. >> reporter: president biden is sharpening his message in the closing days of this midterm campaign. of course he's spent much of the past several months trying to highlight his accomplishments as president, but now as democrats grow increasingly anxious about their prospects in love, you hear the president making his closing argument about a warning about what might happen if republicans take control of congress in november. now on saturday, we saw the first lady, jill biden, campaigning in new hampshire. she made the same argument. she said that if republicans take control, things like social security and medicare will be on the chopping block. we also saw the vice president, kamala harris, she was campaigning in maryland. she chose to emphasize the potential for a nationwide abortion ban if republicans take control. not on the campaign trail today was president biden. he was here in wilmington, delaware, he chose to early vote with his granddaughter. listen to a little bit of how he

characterized his final week before the midterm elections. >> i'm feeling good. i mean, i've been into i guess now 36 constituencies. i'm going to be spending the rest of the time making the case that this is not a referendum, it's a choice. a fundamental choice. a choice between two very different visions for the country. and that's what it's about. >> reporter: so the president there joining the 19 million americans who have already cast an early ballot in this year's midterm elections. he was joined by his granddaughter, natalie. she just turned 18 this year. this will be the first time casting her ballot. kevin liptak, cnn, wilmington, delaware. kentucky republican james comer made the case for why election voters should get behind his party's economic plan. he told cnn the republicans need to get unnecessary spending under control to fight inflation and called for a change in energy policy. here he is.

>> we can be energy independent in the united states. we shouldn't have to go to opec and beg for more oil. we can produce the oil in the united states. and i believe right now the policies of this administration have led to higher gas prices, which contributes to inflation. now we've got a potential shortage of diesel. that could not only increase inflation, but also lead to more challenges with the supply chain shortages. so we've got a lot of challenge and i think it's going to take new leadership in washington to reverse course on spending and our energy policy. voters in brazil will choose their next president in the coming hours. the runoff election pits the far-right incumbent, president jair bolsonaro, against his center-left rival and former president, luis da silva. the latest polls show a close race growing tighter. cnn's paula newton has our story. >> reporter: campaigning here in brazil in the second round of the presidential campaign has been just as acrimonious and

contentious as the first. in terms of the vote on sunday, each camp, whether lulu supporters or bolsonaro supporters, many agree on a couple of things. one, it's incredibly tense leading to the vote sunday. but also, that despite many polls that have been published, it is really impossible to know the outcome. we got that opinion as well from bolsonaro's son, take a listen. >> the polls are tight. but if we look for the first round, the polls were wrong. >> reporter: supporters of bolsonaro have been complaining misinformation, censorship, the fact that they have been, in their words, muzzled through this campaign, may actually affect the voting or the end result. we should say bolsonaro and his supporters say they will accept the election result even if they lose. and that has been a pivotal issue in this campaign. lulu supporters here at a certain point are seeing new hope, though. they are looking to erase the

legacy of bolsonaro if lula can pull out a win. >> translator: i think it's dreaming. it's important to be together, think about a fairer country, more egalitarian, which we were building up but it was interrupted and we now have a chance to restart. >> reporter: lula and bolsonaro had a final debate, finger pointing, accusations back and forth about each or the other being a liar. given everything that's gone on here, likely people who have made up their minds, that debate didn't change anything. what is happening is that there is a very small amount of votes that are likely, those undecided or may not come out to vote, and each leader was looking to entice them. i want to remind everyone, here it's mandatory voting. turnout will likely be very high and we should have results very early on sunday evening. it's important to remind everyone that what happens in brazil is incredibly consequential not just because

it's an important economy and democracy, but environmental policy here will affect everyone. paula newton, cnn, sao paolo, brazil. coming up, a chilling warning from iran's revolutionary guard as another anti-government protest is met with violence. details straight ahead. his pure demands a lotion this pure. gold bond d pure moisture lotin 24-houour hydration no parabens, dyes, or fragrances gold bond champion your skin suffering from sinusus congesti, especially at night? try vicks sinex for instant relief that lasts up to 12 hours. vicks sinex targets congestion at the source, relieving nasal congeson and sinus pressure by reding swelling in the sinuses. try vicks sinex.

continues as anti-government protests are met with violence. videos posted to social media show protesters encountering gunfire and tear gas after friday prayers in one eastern city. four were killed in the kurdish city of mahabad thursday. reports are fire was opened on demonstrators. the head of iran's revolutionary guard is warning demonstrators, saturday is the last day of protests and do not come to the streets again. nada bashir joins us now. what does that mean? what are the consequences? any sense whether the protesters will actually listen? >> reporter: there are real concerns now that the crackdown on protesters, when has already been brutal and deadly and has already been described as showing excessive lethal force, could now intensify if protesters do decide to take to the streets today and in the coming weeks. of course, this is now entering a seventh week of demonstrations

across iran. so far, we have, according to the united nations, already seen at least 250 people killed at the hands of the iranian security forces. of course, we haven't seen the direct and public involvement of the revolutionary guard, which is that elite military unit of the security forces. there are concerns now we could see that crackdown tightening, a further use of brutal and violent tactics to really crack down on those protesters who have for weeks now been de demanding not only human rights to be respected and upheld in iran, women's rights to be upheld in iran, even some of the regime changed. we've heard warnings from the revolutionary guard, as you mentioned, saying to protesters that saturday would be the last day of what he described as riots, telling them not to come to the streets once again. because of course, the regime has long held these are riots,

and they have also warned that these are riots in their words being encouraged, instigated, facilitated by foreign actors, namely the united states and israel. we heard friday from the iranian regime, from the intelligence unit, saying that or rather accusing the united states through the state department and cia of working alongside separatist leaders in the northwestern kurdish cities to instigate chaos and instability in the country. the cia has declined to comment, and we've previously heard from u.s. secretary of state antony blinken, not only expressing support for the protesters in iran, but also stating that in accusing foreign actors of instigating these protests the iranian regime is not listening, is not understanding the will of its own people. the american government has not been, in fact, directly involved, although we have seen tough sanctions being laid against individuals in iran, as well as entities in iran, as well as words of support for the

iranian people. but of course, the real focus now is the situation on the ground. if we do see those large-scale protests today as we have seen the last few days, how significant that crackdown will be. >> all right, thanks so much, nada a bashir in london. british rock group coldplay is voicing support for the iranian protesters, have a listen. ♪ >> the group performed alongside iranian singer and activist farhani at the concert friday night in buy rain nose aires. they sang an iranian viral song, a ballad which translates to "four," watched by millions across the globe. it's based on tweets by iranians expressing anger and frustration with the government. still ahead on "cnn newsroom," tornados strike the

there's a big old tornado right there. >> this video was shot along a road near moss point, mississippi, saturday. a number of tornados were reported in the area. officials in nearby baldwin county, alabama, say at least four tornados were spotted there. so far, no reports of any injuries. let's bring in meteorologist derek van dam. it's late october, but tornados i guess can happen any time of the year, is that right? >> that's the point, really. i was talking to one of our producers earlier tonight. he said, well, is this unusual to see a tornado this time of year? absolutely not. it can happen any month of the year. this is just a climatological graph showing how many tornados occur on average per month. we typically think about the spring season, march, april, may, even into june, having the most tornados. and that's true. however, into october, november, december, there's almost what's called a secondary tornado

season or secondary fall severe weather season. a lot of times that occurs across the gulf coast. just where we've seen the outbreak of tornados today. in fact, nine confirmed tornados, many of which lie right along that gulf coastal water. there's the front. they're really bordering near mississippi, alabama, the florida panhandle. there were nine confirmed tornados, one of which you saw the video a moment ago. here's a closeup still image of that tornado that's about to cross in this area. the radar starting to quiet down as severe weather has started to wane in the overnight hours. nonetheless, we're getting that influx of moisture, a considerable amount of rain across alabama. much of that is going to move into the metro atlanta region in the coming hours. the gulf coast, we keep seeing the thunderstorms that spin up quite easily. it's getting that interaction from the gulf of mexico, so we get that abundant moisture, thunderstorms develop, then they interact with the land as they move over shore. then they get those little spinup tornados.

they don't typically last very long. usually not very powerful. nonetheless, they still cause minor roof damage and also toppling trees and power lines as well. especially into the coastline of mississippi. going forward, the rainfall is going to be a threat across this area, especially near pensacola and gulf shores. in fact, the weather prediction center has a slight risk of flash flooding with some of these thunderstorms moving onshore. the severe weather threat is waning but the heavy rain threat continues. some of that's good news. we have drought conditions across the florida pan ham and into the coastal areas of alabama as well. by the way, keeping an eye on the tropics. still a development chance here this weekend and into early parts of next week across the caribbean and good news, that will not impact the u.s. >> good to hear. thanks so much, derek van dam. appreciate it. if you're filling the car or stocking up on halloween candy on sunday, pick up a lottery ticket. there was no winner the
