7:00 am
good morning, america. breaking now, wild weather. fierce storms tear across the southwest exploding power lines, flooding roads and even damaging an airport. >> wow, this storm is tearing up our freakin' roof. >> who's next in the storm's path? caught on camera. young kids thrown into the ocean when their boat overturns. the coast guard rushes to make a dramatic rescue of an entire family. first pictures, chelsea shows off her little bundle of joy, and grandma and grandpa clinton couldn't be happier. what they are saying about the newest member of the family. ♪ because i'm happy >> and happily married. george clooney rubbing his hands in anticipation just before tying the knot in the most
7:01 am
glamorous celebrity wedding of the year. we have all the incredible pictures of the happy, giddy bachelor no more. ♪ good, right. good morning, america. dan harris has the day off. it is so great to have dan abrams to my left, your right. >> of course, but this is a sad day to be here. all the women who thought at one point they might become mrs. george clooney, big disappointment, big, big disappointment because of that. >> they're in mourning. that's for sure. >> he's married. it's done. it's over. no chance, never happening. >> well, you never know. >> never say never. >> come on. >> gloomy. we're going to start with the stormy first weekend of fall. damaging winds and floods in the southwest, and this storm is on the move. our rob marciano has been tracking it all -- all morning, i should say, and where is it
7:02 am
headed next? >> the past couple of weeks they can't catch a break. they've had flooding rains, intense storms and in phoenix things not only got dramatic but they got dangerous. >> wow, this storm is tearing up our freakin' roof. moving across the southwest tore the roof off a terminal at sky harbor airport. as the storm approached, the entire sky turned dark and ominous. look in the distance, you can see power lines exploding in a ball of fire as flying debris hit electric lines and transformers. rains so heavy roads saturated. you can see here drivers slowly maneuvering through a flooded interstate 10. damaging winds clocked at 75 miles per hour. debris thrown all over the roads slowing down traffic even more. trees ripped out or uprooted by the strong winds taking down light poles with it. buildings battered. this roof collapsing into a house. the storm's effects also reaching to glendale snapping these utility poles like toothpicks leaving the residents of that area in the dark.
7:03 am
a powerful storm, no doubt about it. it will be a quieter day in phoenix but this storm moves off to the east, flooding rains and perhaps intense storms for parts of the rocky mountains and intermountain west from grand junction to rapid city and we could see rains exceeding 1 to 2 inches and in some spots that will cause flooding so we have some flash flood watches posted for the west and flood watches for the southeast and talk more about that later in the program. guys. >> thanks, rob. now to that act of sabotage that stranded so many air travelers this weekend at chicago's two big airports. a key air traffic control center knocked out and the efforts to repair it may take longer than anyone imagined, which could mean lots more travel headaches for the weeks ahead. abc's alex perez has the latest from o'hare international airport. good morning, alex. >> reporter: hey, good morning, dan. the faa says they will have to replace all of that damaged equipment and one source telling abc news this morning it could be weeks before things fully return to normal. this morning, thousands of
7:04 am
travelers are stuck in line with nowhere to go, still feeling the effects of a disgruntled employee who set fire to the faa air traffic control center in aurora, illinois, just outside chicago. overnight the chicago department of aviation reporting almost 700 cancellations and delays averaging one hour down significantly from friday's high of almost 2,000 flight cancellations. >> even if you're not going anywhere close to chicago, there is probably a ripple effect that has affected your airline in one way or another because of all the departures and arrivals and planes and the crews in the wrong places that are a direct result of this. >> reporter: the faa trying to troubleshoot the problem calling on air traffic controllers from nearby regional control centers. >> when you have a whole air route traffic control center go dark even though they may be figuring out ways to do it better, it will still be a disrussian until they get it rewired and back online. >> reporter: the damage is so severe in a statement overnight
7:05 am
the faa said it "has decided to completely replace the central communications network in a different part of the same building, to restore the system as quickly as possible." the widespread disruption has left travelers wondering how one individual could cause such serious destruction. brian howard worked at control center for eight years, and he's been charged with destruction of aircraft or aircraft facilities, a felony. the fbi says howard remains hospitalized with no set court date. if convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison. the faa says crews will be working round the clock to install that new system, and it could still be a couple of days before they have a better idea of just how long it'll take to be back at 100%. paula. >> so potentially brace for that ripple effect. alex perez from chicago, thank you, alex. now to the first photos of bill and hillary clinton taken with their daughter chelsea's newborn baby girl named charlotte. the couple beaming over their brand-new titles, grandma and
7:06 am
grandpa, and abc's mara schiavocampo has the very latest from lenox hill hospital here in manhattan. good morning, mara. >> reporter: good morning, paula. you know, the clintons have held a lot of titles, but this is definitely a first for them. the newest little clinton is reportedly doing just fine. her grandparents already tweeting about their excitement. you're looking at the first pictures of charlotte clinton mezvinsky, beaming new mom chelsea clinton tweeting out "at 7:03 p.m. on september 26th we finally met charlotte. we're in love." former secretary of state hillary clinton and former president bill clinton gushing in their new role, grandparents, tweeting "@billclinton and i are over the moon to be grandparents. one of the happiest moments of our life." and "charlotte, your grandmother @hillaryclinton and i couldn't be happier." the political power couple telling abc news in a statement chelsea is well and glowing, marc is bursting with pride.

7:07 am
charlotte's life is off to a good start, and this morning we're getting new details on the birth. chelsea delivering at lenox hill hospital in new york city, a go-to for high-profile mommas like beyonce. ♪ the family has been looking forward to this new journey for some time. clinton telling george he has high hopes for his new heir. >> i want them to really love being alive, and when they grow up, i want them to believe they have certain obligations to people who don't have all the opportunities they'll have. >> reporter: but some wonder how being a grandma will change hillary clinton, if that's what the baby will call her. >> have you offered any names to chelsea? >> no, i'm going to wait. i want this to kind of develop organically because i've talked to a lot of friends who have preceded me to grandmotherhood and some of them have said i knew exactly whey wanted to be called and i had a hard time convincing the baby to
7:08 am
call me that because he or she wanted to call me something else so i just want to see how this develops, but i could not be happier. this is something that i've looked forward to for a long time. >> reporter: and while america waits for hillary's decision if she'll run for president, a more important duty calls for now, diaper duty. chelsea clinton is already combining her commitment to certain social causes with motherhood. she's devoted to elephant protection, and the baby reportedly has an elephant themed nursery. i'm sure it's very adorable. dan. >> got to love the elephants. thanks, mara. >> hillary clinton has said she was waiting to become a grandma before making a decision about a presidential run in 2016. so let's bring in abc news chief white house correspondent jon karl in washington where he's co-hosting a special edition of "this week." good morning, jon. can having a grandchild really play into the 2016 campaign? >> reporter: well, look, we've had lots and lots of grandfathers running for president. it's hard to imagine that it would be much different having a
7:09 am
grandmother run for president, although mara did mention that the nursery will be decorated with elephants, of course, the mascot of the republican party, so we'll see how that plays, but, look, hillary clinton has talked a lot about becoming a grandmother on the campaign trail. in fact, just last week she said that of the about 70,000 people who she has shaken hands with on this book tour, more than half of them have mentioned something about becoming a grandparent, so i imagine we'll see much more and on a more practical way, you know, she said she would not make a decision on running for president until the baby is born. now the baby is born. it clears the way for her to finally make that decision. >> can you imagine the clintons saying, honey, no elephants, please. no elephants. >> reporter: right, right. >> all right, jon. we'll see you a little later on. also front and center on this special edition of "this week," the u.s. air strikes on isis and syria. abc's martha raddatz is right in the middle of it all on an aircraft carrier in the persian gulf. >> reporter: u.s. warplanes have now expanded their mission in syria bombing isis targets to protect kurds there from being overtaken.

just since friday, more than half a dozen strikes in syria and ongoing strikes in iraq, as well. we watched u.s. fighter jets launch off the "uss bush" over the last few days ready to go 24/7. the deck of an aircraft carrier is an incredibly dynamic place. once all of the aircraft are back on the deck, they are maintained, looked over again, and they go right back out on missions. and the commander of the air wing on board the ship told us the pace is not expected to slow down. >> syria, it's going to take a long time. it's going to take some time and i don't know how long, i don't know if there's a breaking point or a -- but i think we're going to be in this for awhile. >> reporter: but no matter how long it takes, they know the mission is critical. >> you don't want to miss a special edition of abc's "this week" with martha raddatz

surrounding the outbreak of that respiratory december enterovirus 68. limb weakness or paralysis has been reported in nine children and the centers for december control investigating whether it's connected to the disease. let's bring in dr. jen ashton here. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> these cases all in the denver area. what else do we know? >> right now definitely more questions than answers but here's what we know at this point. nine cases as you said all in a denver suburb. ranging in age from 1-year-olds to 18-year-olds. showing sudden limb weakness or paralysis and an abnormal mri of the spinal cord. now, interestingly, all of these cases did have a fever with an upper respiratory illness in the two weeks or so prior to coming down with symptoms and so far, four out of six of them have tested positive for a nasal swab for the ev 68 virus. >> muscle weakness or paralysis. health officials don't believe it's polio but is there a connection to enterovirus? >> well, here's the interesting thing. enterovirus and polio come from the same viral family.
7:18 am

7:20 am
>> and he's not exaggerating. last year 560 people died in boating accidents around the u.s. and more than 75% of those victims were not wearing life jackets. guys, the coast guard also recommends having flares as well as noise makers if you can on the boat. these two are life saving devices. >> but in this case they had all the life jackets. >> they had the life vests on. >> it was on a children's fishing excursion no less. time to check in with the weather. back to rob marciano. rob, what do you have for us? >> no stranger to boating in the state of florida they'll see rough weather. miami, gorgeous start to your day there. temperatures in the upper 70s, there's biscayne bay but you can see the cumulo clouds beginning to build already this morning. a threat for thunderstorms as we head into the afternoon. temperatures expected to get to 86 in miami and south florida. and a pretty good southerly fetch and flow and storms will develop back through panama city. temperatures held in the 80s and
