7:04 am
they waited for help to arrive. their belongings returned. >> you lost everything. >> my bed, clothes, name it. >> you're just grateful to be alive. >> i'm grateful to be alive. >> reporter: like terrence, more than a dozen people there displaced. claudette still bringing heavy rain across the southeast as it pushes farther inland. eva? >> elwyn lopez there. thank you. now for the latest on the storm's track. let's bring in senior meteorologist rob marciano. that damage is something to look at. >> the hallmarks for this event flooding and tornado damage. this is in alabama. 15 people were hurt here. that tells you how dangerous this can be. the center is over atlanta. 30-mile-an-hour winds, gusts of 40. i'm worried about the warm sector. the tornado watch is posted here over the next three to four hours. now a tropical storm warning has been posted for the outer banks. track is going to bring it that way and strengthen tonight and
7:05 am
tomorrow. more on this in a bit. dan, over to you. >> rob, thank you. we'll come back to you as the show progresses this morning. we turn now to a scary scene at a pride parade in florida where a truck plowed into the crowd. lots of questions this morning. abc's victor oquendo right there on the ground in ft. lauderdale with much more on this. victor, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, dan. the stonewall pride parade is a big deal here. the parade had just gotten under way. you can see the debris here behind me. the truck crashed through that fence. this morning one victim is dead, another is in the hospital. overnight chaos in the streets of south florida. >> evidently a vehicle ran over them. there could be additional patients. >> reporter: a man ramming his truck into a pride parade just outside ft. lauderdale, striking two people, killing one. >> we're going to have an adult trauma on the way and a trauma code. >> reporter: police flooding the

7:07 am
that don't know what to make of this, and they're thinking of the worst. was it deliberate? was this an attack on the lgbtq community? >> reporter: authorities have yet to say what caused the incident and whether or not the driver intentionally attacked the crowd. overnight the ft. lauderdale's gay men's chorus said both the victims and the driver were members of the chorus, saying, this was not an attack on the lgbtq community. we anticipate more details to follow and ask for the community's love and support. the investigation is under way. at this point the fbi is also involved. police say that they are speaking with the driver and several witnesses as they work to determine if this was intentional or an awful accident. whit? >> still a lot of questions about what happened. victor, thank you so much. we move on to the pandemic and the delta variant a major concern, spreading to nearly all states in the u.s., and overseas in the uk and russia, it's now responsible for the vast majority of new covid cases. abc's trevor ault has the very latest.
7:08 am
trevor, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. the delta variant had been detected in at least 46 states and the cdc estimates it already accounts for 10% of the new cases here in the u.s. the cdc director says she anticipates this is going to become the dominant strain here in the next few months, and in some areas it already is. in some areas it already is. it's fueling outbreaks in vulnerable places like southwest missouri. health experts say it's another reason for unvaccinated people to get the shot because the vaccines will work against the delta variant. millions of people are still hesitant or out right declining. to be clear, one dose of pfizer or moderna will provide you about 33% effectiveness preventing serious illness from the delta variant. you need to either get both shots or the single shot of johnson & johnson. we know the delta variant is not just a concern in america. whit, you mentioned it. it originated in india, and it's
7:09 am
now spread to more than 80 countries. russia says it accounts for 89% of their new cases. the uk said they're in the midst of another wave. the delta variant is to blame. president biden says at this point he thinks too many americans have been vaccinated for it to be potentially necessary in the future to institute more lockdowns, but the delta variant definitely has some potential to cost us more american lives. eva? >> a reminder this is not over yet. trevor ault, thank you. let's bring in our chief medical correspondent, dr. jen ashton. dr. jen, thanks for being with us. so many people have asked how effective are the vaccines against this new delta variant? >> i mean, eva, they're effective, and that's the good news. coming out of the uk, we know that right now these vaccines do work. recent studies showed the pfizer vaccine reduces the risk of hospitalizations by up to 96%,
7:10 am
so it's important for people to realize as we heard trevor say, it's not just one dose. it's two doses and you're not fully protected until two weeks after the second dose, but i want to be clear here, eva. this virus will continue to mutate as long as it spreads. so not only is that a concern in various parts of the world, but it is a concern here in the united states amongst people who are unvaccinated. >> let's dig into the idea of if you only have one dose. what's the difference between only having one dose as opposed to two with this variant? >> yeah. this data comes out of the uk, just publishd in the last week, and it shows that after one dose of pfizer, the reduced risk of hospitalization due to the deltaer havedelta variant is only in the 30% range. you need those two doses. again, when you're talking about pfizer, you're talking about 28 days later. it's really important to complete the whole regimen.
7:11 am
those clinical trials were there for a reason. that's what's been tested and what's been shown to be effective. >> with the delta variant spreading so rapidly, many parents are worried about their kids who aren't eligible to get the vaccine. what do you say to those parents? is there anything they can do right now? >> el with, this is the really hard part because, again, we're seeing a lot of the country going back to pre-pandemic behaviors. that can't go on with children under the age of 12, especially if they're around people or in communities where there are high unvaccinated rates. the risk is to those people. unfortunately they'll need to continue the masking and social distancing if the majority of the people they're around are as yet unvaccinated. again, this virus is very transmissib transmissible, and if they get it, it's not just an acute risk, it's potential long-term risks as well.
7:12 am
>> dr. jen ashton, thank you. dan? let's talk politics. joe biden went to church this weekend amidst news that catholic bishops are pushing to allow priests to deny the president communion because of his stance on abortion rights. maryalice parks at the white house with much more on the backlash we're seeing from catholic democrats. maryalice, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, dan. that's right. the president made clear he's not planning to change his routine in the face of this debate among american catholic bishops. we saw him go to mass yesterday like he does almost every week in his hometown parish of st. joseph's there in wilmington. you see him, but this weekend we've seen swift reaction, especially among democrats coming to the president's defense. we saw 60 catholic democratic members of congress writing a letter defending the president, urging bishops not to go down this road. congressman lieu came to his defense. he called the bishops hypocrites.
7:13 am
he pointed to catholic republicans who publicly support the death penalty for example. he said why are they not being singled out? lots of finger pointing about whether this is steeped in partisan politics. >> speaking of partisan politics, let me ask you a question on the legislative front here. we could see movement on two major initiatives from the biden administration. infrastructure and voting rights. what are the major variables you're watching on both of these bills? >> reporter: last week members of congress were negotiating. they left the president a lot to respond to. on infrastructure there are 21 senators who support a rough package for about $1 trillion in spending. that includes 11 republicans. the president said he's excited to review the actual details of the proposal tomorrow. he has said he's against any gas tax. that's going to be a nonstarter for the white house.
7:14 am
i'll also be looking at whether there's any funding around fighting climate change. if there's absolutely none, then it's going to be pretty hard to get progressives on board, and if other democratic priorities like funding for housing or funding for elder care are not included in any final infrastructure package, then the white house is going to face a lot of pressure to package those priorities in a second budget bill, and maybe tackle that with just democrats down the road, and on voting rights, we know that senate majority leader chuck schumer wants votes to start as early as tuesday. so the big question now is whether west virginia senator joe manchin and any republicans get on board and vote to move that process forward. dan? >> high stakes negotiations happening now. maryalice, great to have you on a sunday morning. thank you. and a programming note, tune in to "this week" george stephanopoulos will interview jake sullivan following joe biden's first foreign trip as president.
7:15 am
plus, an in-depth panel discussion on the latest culture clash in the classroom, critical race theory. whit, over to you. now to juneteenth celebrations across the country. the first nationwide observance of the day since president biden signed it into law two days ago, making it a federal holiday. abc's marcus moore is in galveston, texas this morning where union troops informed slaves of their freedom on june 19, 1865. marcus, good morning. >> reporter: whit, good morning. that proclamation read right here in this spot. it was an historic weekend this weekend. i want you to show you the front page of saturday's "houston's chronicle" saying for them, juneteenth will be as important as easter and christmas as the nation pauses to honor that day for the very first time. this morning, joy, reflection and celebrations in cities across the u.s. for the first time in its history marking juneteenth as a national holiday. those celebrations began 156
7:16 am
years ago here in galveston, texas when union troops freed the last enslaved african-americans, more than two years after abraham lincoln signed the emancipation proclamation. >> what do you hope this will mean beyond this celebration today? >> beyond the celebration, i'm hoping more people become unified. it will allow to be everybody inclusive. it just doesn't stop by signing of a bill. >> reporter: more than a century later those celebrations echoed across the country. from denver to new york city, to missouri where nearly 200 kids took part in a parade. in florida families walking for peace in the streets. >> this is such an accomplishment. it's been a long time coming. >> reporter: and back in texas, crowds joining 94-year-old opal lee, affectionately known as the grandmother of the juneteenth movement. for yet another year she walked 2 1/2 miles to commemorate the 2 1/2 years it took for texas
7:17 am
slaves to finally be freed. >> this is what we're about. >> reporter: in brooklyn, new york, a new sculpture of george floyd unveiled, amid the protests and unrest following his killing, juneteenth significance gaining national recognition. >> i hope it will prompt constituents and residents to mobilize, to march and to educate with the goal of enacting change. >> reporter: back here in galveston, we have heard from so many people about how this holiday represents so much, including the need for people of all backgrounds to be active in their communities, and to vote. eva? >> an historical holiday. the very first. thank you, marcus. time for a check of our weather. rob marciano is back. it's been busy in the weather department. >> it has. let's talk about severe weather. we had it from the northeast yesterday. walt -- all the way back through

7:21 am
lift their neighbors' spirits. >> he showed me the perfect balance of being a friend and being a parent. we're able to do our deejaying thing and party together. we're also able to put that to the side and pray together. >> reporter: joe passing his passion for hip-hop to his son. who now loves deejaying gigs with his dad. >> a lot of people don't have p. a lot of people don't have a father around. a lot of people don't even have a positive male figure in their life. i try not to take that for granted. i want to say thank you. to everybody out there, i want to say happy father's day. >> absolutely. we just wanted to highlight a few of the dads out there. obviously we couldn't cover all of them, but all the dads across the country and around the world, happy father's day, and we cherish you, especially ourselves. >> i consider rob to be my positive male role model. >> that's where you went wrong. >> that explains a lot. >> exactly. let's tell you what's coming
