we are following breaking news, the national weather service is warning that a dam in north carolina is at risk of imminent failure as helene pummels the southeast with torrential rain evacuations in the area. >> now, underway, residents are being urged to get to higher ground, damaging winds and tornadoes are also a threat. one couple sharing their terrifying experience after narrowly escaping a landslide that was triggered by helene well, as you can see by the mug on the door inside in the windows and the shattered back window we narrowly escaped a landslide it was i can't imagine what the roof looks like there were some big boulders coming down

and authorities say at least 25 people have been killed across four states. >> the storm made landfall as a category four hurricane in florida's big bend region last night causing widespread damage and leaving millions of people without power. let's go live now to cnn's nick alencia. he is there in atlanta which got hammered with rain overnight. nick, tell us what you're seeing what you're looking at some of the water that's left over after this area memorial park got hammered overnight by that storm system and some of that water is leftover, but some of it brianna is being pumped out of the basement of these local residents it i just spoke to one resident who said that she had nine feet of water in her basement. >> the more terrifying story though, is what we heard happened here this morning in this subdivision. check out that white sedan, the owner of that white sedan, angelina madueke, was working in the overnight shift at a bakery and norcross. and before you criticize her, she said she just couldn't afford to miss a day of work for employer, didn't close down work. she found herself traveling in at 9:00 p.m. last night when the roads were really undrivable

and she left this morning thinking that she could get through this subdivision, not realizing the grade here, and she ended up basically floating away. and if it wasn't for our former colleague, bob, then dillon, who many of you may remember as a meteorologist on hln he was parked on the other side of that road, saw her waiving for help and was able to actually to get in waiting and waist deep water and pulled her out. she has been reunited with her husband and is shocked, but we're hearing so many terrifying stories like that. and in fact, just walking around this area, we met one of these one of our local elected politicians here, a state senator whose district this is center brynn. thank you so much for taking the time with cnn. it's got to be so devastating to see the community that you represent like this. talk to us about some of the damage well, you can already see that flooding there has been down trees and lots of power out. >> we still don't have power at my home and my district happens to be across five cities, atlanta being one of them and then moving south, lots of downed trees, lots of flooding, lots of power outages.

>> you were talking to us about some of these roads and how they were impassible. you've been driving around here. we've got some great video to show you just the extent of the flooding here. these roads. i mean, this this man's home, his swan that lives here is backyards or river. >> it is it is actually a river and i think this is going to be the biggest part of the cleanup issue. right. is how do we get all the water out? how do we get homes dried and livable and habitable again, drainage is a huge issue here. i mean, look, just pan off over here. you can see just how much water this these residents are dealing with. some of the concerns that you're hearing hearing from residents right now because it seems yes, this is more of an affluent neighborhood. you think they have insurance here, but what are some of the other concerns mess. yeah. anytime anytime anything like a big storm comes through, i mean, it is always brings a lot of fear and anxiety and i don't think that that dissipates at all when you're looking can you get your home underwater when you've got nine feet of water in your basement that you've got to pump out. so i think

people are really just thinking about what is the next step. and they can't quite yet about what is the normalcy looked like again, because there's still dealing with the after effects. >> well, we know you're gonna be going door to door knocking and seeing how your constituents are. thank you so much for taking the time. was seen and we appreciate you running into a sierra so you can see here the drainage system is of course an issue here in the city, brianna. so as much as it is grateful to see the sun peeking out in this water starting to recede. it's going to take days before the water levels get back to normal here, brianna certainly is into shout out to bob. >> i mean, i've always been a fan of his forecasts, i'm so glad to know that he was the key to that scene behind you ending happily instead of in a very sad way, this has been a very tough storm, nick, thank you for bringing that to us meteorologists, elisa raffa is tracking the storm from the cnn weather center. elisa, what are the next few hours look like here? >> we're still going to find this flooding rain and then the rivers are still going to be responding to this rain even through the weekend, we now

have a tropical depression. all that means is that it's losing the skeleton of its once tropical structure, but it doesn't need that to dump all this heavy rain that will continue. we have this outer band that has been produced think tornado warnings all day in eastern carolinas. and then this rain stretches into tennessee. even parts of eastern missouri, with some of that flooding rain be flood watches extend pretty far-reaching because of all of this rain. want to point your attention to all of these white outline boxes. these are all of the flash flood emergencies in western north carolina. just incredible how many emergencies there have been. there was one all morning in atlanta that was thankfully allowed to expire. it is still a flash flood warning though as those mourners, as you just saw from where nic is still have to recede the warnings though continue in north carolina a couple of warnings actually where there are dams that are at risk of failing in eroding from all of the heavy rain and record rises in the river and that's because this area here

has seen more than a foot of rain. you could see this hot pink here near asheville where we've had totals exceeding ten inches. this is a mountainous terrain, so there's really not really anywhere for this water to go, which is why they're worried about when flights that we've already seen some reports up again, because this land will just kind of sliderwa rain. so finding some gusts to 40 miles per hour, roanoke, i seeing some of these gusts 37 mile per hour, gusts even in cincinnati, as the winds continue to a whip around with some of this heavy rain as well. some of these totals have approached 30 inches and the mountains of north carolina, just incredible. the records, amounts of rain that we've seen table rock, south carolina, 13 inches, asheville, 13 inches, atlanta. got 11 inches of rain this morning. again, we're still worried about that flooding through the day today, especially in the mountains there, north carolina. then as we go through the weekend, what's left of helene will just continue to swirl over the tennessee valley. brianna.

>> all right. elisa, thank you so much for that update. danny joining us now is florida lieutenant governor jeanette nunez, lieutenant governor. thank you so much for being with us this afternoon. we spoke with you yesterday on this program and you felt confident in the states preparations. tell us how did hold up? >> yeah, an excellent under the governor's leadership, we had all of those resources and assets and personnel staged and ready to start deploying the minute the storms subsided what we saw is into the wee hours of the morning, folks were already heading out. they were doing search and rescue. they were making sure that if people were stranded, they were resting giving those folks and then beginning the tedious work of power restoration. i know we talked about the importance of that residents of force are, are eager to get their power restored right now, we have a little over 1 million people without power, but that work is ongoing and we've seen a tremendous amount of progress. so we hope in short order will get the power restored. of course, people are going to

have a lot of damage in that gulf coast big bend area, even further into pinellas, tampa area. we've seen a lot of damage, a lot of destruction. and so we're going to continue that difficult work will stand up all the necessary, necessary of food and water distribution and then began again to assist them with rebuilding and recovery lieutenant governor, can you give us an update on injuries your state has seen and the number of people who may have lost their lives in this storm yeah, tragically right now, what we're seeing is six individuals have perished. >> one of those was early on in the storm as a traffic accident. the other one was a tree, unfortunately fell on the home. the other four we're still getting information. but what we continue to message, and this is the important part of post-storm. we want people to be safe, obviously, leading up to the storm during the storm. but what we see is a lot of time that fatalities the fatalities occur afterwards,

people going out into floodwaters where they're down power lines, working with power tools and maybe not having the necessary safety precautions in place. tree limbs falling on homes and on individuals. generator usage. all of this is an ongoing messaging that will be sharing with floridians to make sure they maintain the safety and well-being of their loved ones. but it is something that we're concerned about and will continue to provide assistance if anyone needs assistance, will have plenty of non-profits along to help, especially the elderly. sometimes they want to get up on matters and we don't recommend that will have plenty of resources to be able to assist them. but it's a difficult long-haul recovery process that we're going to see here in the state of florida. >> and of course our hearts go out to those who lost their lives and their families. lieutenant governor, what comes specifically next in these efforts to reach we recover, and rebuild? what are your folks on the ground doing in the gulf right now right now, of course, debris removal, cut-and-toss operations, search

and rescue, i think for the most part we've been able to address that very quickly. >> what you see is many, many roadways, many bridges need to be inspected to make sure sure there passable on their safe and so once all of that assessment is done, then all the folks can come in and begin that process we saw during hurricane ian two years ago, there were bridges washed out. we helped rebuild those in very short order, three days in one case, two weeks and another people's homes, of course. if there is a tremendous amount of storm surge like i mentioned in that tampa bay pinellas area, they'll have to start going through that process with their insurance. but i do want to assure and provide this information to all 30 and we stand ready to assist you will be with you throughout the long haul and we'll recover well, i'm really glad that it does seem like many floridians heeded your advice certainly yesterday and throughout the evening, lieutenant governor jeanette nunez, thank you so much for your time. really appreciate it.

angeles. and this is cnn we were anxiously watching the aftermath of some huge explosions in beirut, lebanon and whether the top leader of hezbollah may have been killed in one of them, the israeli military says it struck the group central headquarters there earlier today, and an israeli source tells cnn that hezbollah chief hassan nasrallah was the target the attack parks and other major escalation in the middle east conflict. >> cnn's ben wedeman is in beirut for us. ben, what more do we know about these powerful explosions? >> well we understand briana that there were six buildings in the southern suburbs of beirut. they were utterly flattened by this bombing that took place round 7:00 p.m. local time. now, we there, of course, the israelis have clear saying that the target was it the secretary general of hezbollah, hassan nasrallah. we've heard not a word from

the organization itself. neither confirming nor denying whether he was at that location or whether he was killed. what we do know from the lebanese ministry of health is that at least two people were killed, 76 injured. now we're outside the rafik hariri hospital in beirut, where i spoke to a doctor and they have received some of the injured, but he said the numbers are minimal. of course, this is a hospital somewhat away from the bomb site, but we expect the death toll, the number of injured to increase these dramatically given this is a part of beirut that is very densely populated where the israeli airstrike took place. there's ambulances just arrived because we don't know about the nature of the person inside. this is a very densely populated neighborhood. i've been there many times the buildings are smack dab against one another. it's actually it

appears to have happened at a refugee palestinian refugee camp. the voters in barrage name camp, which is one very crowded place. now here, i'm just going to step aside. you can see somebody who has been injured. it does not appear to be in this instance a serious injury. now what we've seen while we've been waiting to hear is that many people have been coming to donate blood. this is without a doubt the largest airstrike on beirut since the july 2006 war between hezbollah and israel. and i believe it's the fifth israeli airstrike on beirut since last friday brianna all right. >> ben wedeman, potentially huge ramifications here. thank you so much for the report from beirut. let's bring in cnn's jim sciutto. he is in tel aviv. jim, this attack came just moments after israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu

delivered a rather fiery speech at the un, where he they threatened iran and vowed to continue the fight against hezbollah and hamas. what does this mean for that us proposal for a ceasefire? >> well, first let's get to where israeli official stand on this. israeli officials are confirming that nasrallah, the leader of hezbollah, was the target of this strike. they have not yet confirmed whether he was struck, whether injured or killed by the strike. there still seeking information and intelligence timing-wise, this comes not just on the heels of netanyahu's defiant speech at the un but the midst of a very high level us led negotiations to create a ceasefire come to an agreement to a ceasefire on the northern border between israel and hezbollah. and one can only surmise that a strike of this size going after the leader of hezbollah essentially puts those ceasefire talks, negotiationsan

certainly puts them at great risk. the u.s effort has been going back nearly a year, brianna, to those october 7 attacks to prevent a larger regional war from developing from this and that effort has been on a number of fronts. including those ongoing on again off again, talks for a ceasefire in gaza, as well as a hostage release deal. those talks came to an impasse in the last several weeks. and now this most recent effort for a 21 day ceasefire on the northern border between israel and hezbollah. well, now you have a strike quite a large strike in beirut targeting the leader of hezbollah which one can, with some confidence say at least puts those ceasefire talks very much into doubt. i want to tell you what a us official is telling me now about us knowledge of this strike take a us official tells me the following quote, we are still gathering information, but i can tell you that the united states had no knowledge of or involvement in no

advanced knowledge of this attack. and that we had nothing to do with any idf military action in beirut today. that speaks to i think you can read between those lines there quite clearly, brianna, that the u.s. was one not involved in this and only got what he is saying that they got no advanced knowledge. i know that others have reported that the u.s. had knowledge perhaps minutes before the strike, regardless that is not a an israeli call to the u.s. for certainly any approval of the strike in advance. and you can hear from that statement from the u.s. official that the u.s. wants to indicate. in fact, the opposite that it did not give approval for this strike. and i think it's quite clear given the broader us efforts to come to some sort of bring about a ceasefire agreement in the north, that it is it is quite concerned about the potential ramifications of this strike. this region has been on pins and needles for weeks and months about the possibility of

an expanded war, a strike like this one certainly only raises the risk right now, briana, you have to imagine how does hezbollah respond? and of course, the other question is, how does iran respond in the midst of all this? because hezbollah of course, is arounds proxy force in lebanon. it's a dicey time here to say the least. >> yeah, that is the big question. how will iran react here? jim sciutto, thank you so much for that update from tel aviv. we appreciate it and just ahead, former president trump about to take the stage in the battleground, state of michigan rfk jr. is up now. he's been a key he's been it has been, i should say, a key state for the former president in the past. so what is his strategy this time around will take you there live nine on cnn old spice gentleman super hydration, body wash.

it has to end. he's going through hell and this country has gone through how few countries have had are like a chaplain to anywhere i nobody has ever seen they want to get it for more on this. let's get right to cnn, steve contorno and walker michigan. steve trump is in the grand rapids area and important region, of course in the last two presidential elections, what are you seeing there? >> all right. danny, the grand rapids area is a purple part of this purple state. the county that trump is speaking in today kent county is one that he won is eight years ago by four points. however, he hasn't yeah. will you look at excuse me, in 2020, he actually lost it to biden by six points and this is a challenge for the trump campaign going forward, they are concerned about the fact that this is an area where nikki haley got about one-third of the votes. when you look at the republican primary earlier

this year. so that is one of the challenges they have is that is a much more moderate republican party than the rest of the state. and i was actually had the opportunity yesterday to walk some neighborhoods with a republican candidate for congress up here, paul hudson and there were there were houses where you had a trump flag outside the door. there were houses right next door that had harris walz signs on their doorstep and clearly showing that this is a purple region and he actually had a conversation with one voter who said he approached them and said, we know what your what is your party. and he said, i'm a republican. he said no, thank you this was a swing voter that they had identified that they hope they could sway and this person said, essentially, look, republicans, or i'm not, i'm not interested in that whole trump thing. so clearly demonstrating some of the headwinds they are facing in this important region, trump will address them just moments from now on the stage and tried to make his pitch to win this region back just as he did in

2016. >> steve contorno. thank you very much for that update. appreciate it brianna as former president trump campaigns in michigan, we're learning about newly uncovered direct messages from 2020 by his running mate senator jd vance. >> according to these messages obtained by the washington post, vance gave a candid critique of trump's first term. he wrote in february of 2020 that quote, trump is just so thoroughly failed to deliver on his economic populism, except a disjointed china policy and quote, in another message from june of that year, vance said he believed joe biden would win the election, writing, quote, i think trump will probably lose cnn has reached out to vance's folks to verify the authenticity of the messages and to seek comment on their contents. joining me now to discuss is dana milbank syndicated columnist for the washington post. he's also the author of a new book called fools on the hill, the

hooligans saboteurs, conspiracy theorists, and dunces,ces, who burned down the house metaphorically. speaking, i think in many of the reichstag, just yet, that's right okay. dana i do want to talk about some of the details of the house which we'll delve into in a moment. but let's talk about vance is a senator. the more civilized, not chamber of congress, but when you see some of the stuff playing on the trail, childless cat ladies baseless allegations of migrants eating cats and dogs. do you see that as a close relative of the dysfunction that you detail so vividly in this book, they're absolutely twins. there's no question about it. i mean, j.d vance talking about a failure to produce for donald trump. well, a failure to produce, i mean, we've now run the numbers this and we're says almost over. it is on track to be the least productive. the do nothing has congress since 18, 60. and of course, i mean, you have to

take my word for it. you can hear them calling each other, lunatics and clown, even marjorie taylor greene, i don't get to say this often. she says, we have completely failed as a republican majority mike lawler all are from new york's as you keep running lunatics, you're going to wind up in this situation. so they have been entirely unproductive. now, from my point of view i i'd rather see them be unproductive because the agenda that they've had is, you know, when you look at the actual votes they have, it's a lot like project 2025. it's abolish the education department it's restore the confederate generals names on military basis. it's most of them are opposed to aid to ukraine and so on down the line, they seem frustrated by their lack of ability to produce, to govern, to produce some results but when you look at what they have produced, the dramas pretty astounding and a lot of that you go through george santos, the lauren boebert beetlejuice, vaping and roping episode, the speaker race drama that we all watched on tv. what do you attribute as

the cause of the house of representatives? kind of becoming a reality show. and one that is more akin to like, you know, like a love island. or even if it's sort of a tiger king than a more respectable document, you've left out the refrigerator freedom act and the gas stove protection act, which they were able to pass this has been building up for a while. that's why i say, like, if when trump is gone, this doesn't whatever trump has gone, if he's ever gone, this doesn't necessarily change. it's been iteration after iteration election after election. and it's because the republican primaries are structured, look only a couple of dozen seats in the house are ever in play. so people are chosen in, in primaries exclusively and within the republican party, they have twice as many conservatives as there are progressives in the democratic party. so whereas moderate still hold sway in the democratic party, they've the moderates have lost control of the republican party so tom massie, a republican from

kentucky member of the house, said in trying to figure out who are these voters voting for any finally realized they're voting for the craziest sob in the race. that's just a structural problem that this tiny sliver of very far-right minority has outsized power in in turning these people to washington. >> you have a perspective, right? you have a perspective. you're liberal, but i hear some of the things that you are saying echoed by republicans. they're making some of the same observations about what you were saying here, about this type of republican that has become so prominent in the house of representatives. you offer a pretty stark warning for the future. you say voters ought to know that this is what they would get if they return maga republicans to power. the chaos that conspiracy theories, the lieslies, the constant cultl and political warfare what do you think the next four years could look like depending on different outcomes i'm worried

enough about the next two months of what they will look like. >> i mean, we have a sign because you can see the singular control donald trump has over the party, right? you've seen it in the spending battle, just this week, he insisted that they had to put this legislation and involving elections you saw with the border security bill now, you're seeing it in the constant inability to produce. but look, i mean, it appears the senate may well wind up being republican if donald trump wins the presidency, which is certainly not out of the realm of possibility. it's entirely possible republicans keep the house. it's an entirely different ballgame than it's. i mean, we can all sit back and say, well, isn't this amusing that for keeping confederate names on military basis. but when this actually becomes policy, when it's no longer theoretical, that's an entirely different situation. >> next book, not having to do with politics as i understand it, please.

you're moving up the ladder on the housing ownership, this is good news because it means rates are coming down a more young people, more couples will be able to get themselves single people as well in fact, everybody will be able to get themselves was on the housing ladder. it is it's only those who have got savings that will notice a reduction in the amount of interest that they get. remember it's always winners and losers when it comes to interest rates, right? >> richard quest. thank you so much for breaking that all down. really appreciate it. >> brianna now, to some of the other headlines that we're watching this hour truck drivers waiting in these long lines in new jersey believed that port workers are deliberately slowing down as long sherman or setting to strike over wages and other issues next tuesday, the international longshoreman's association walkout would be the most disruptive in decades, as it could stop the flow of a wide variety of goods and almost all cargo ports on the east and gulf coast. >> the administration, the biden administration is urging the two sides to negotiate in
