start in iowa where a whole school was nearly blown off the map. >> there goes the school! there goes the school! >> 100 students and staff were in the building at the time. they managed to take cover in the basement. they are all going to be okay. to arkansas now where daylight brings grim news. we can now confirm that two people died in the storms there, that brought flooding and high winds. in van, texas, ten people are still missing from morning. even in the dark you can see the crushed cars, the toppled trees, and destroyed buildings. in addition to the ten people missing, more than two dozen other people are hurt. 30% of the town is damaged. one young man says it's like nothing he's ever seen before. >> this is 13something you only see in movies. it doesn't happen to your hometown. you walk through and, i don't know, the people you are with, you know, couple days ago, you know, might not, you know, still have homes anymore. but, you know, it's just really

sad to see, really breath taking. >> this is what it looked like as a supercell bore down on the college town of texas. that's north of dallas. southeast of there, folks were plucked from the rooftops of home nearly completely underwater. one woman told nbc news as she was hoisted from her home her car was ash whatted away. it turned up a mild away. these two men were rescued from the roof of their truck just in the nick of time. national guard helicopter lifted them to safety after a creek overflowed the bank. one person died in the flooding in the town of courrsicana, tex. rescuers are going to go door to door to make sure people are not trapped in the debris. >> thank you so much. tough to see there. the worse might be over but live radar shows more severe weather is on the way to areas already hit by all that tornado activity and flooding. let's bring in meteorologist christina loren. millions of people are in that

path. >> definitely for today. we are not out of the woods just yet. what's interesting about this storm system, it's same one that brought us the lightning, the thunder, the rain just last week. so what happens is the systems move over the rockies. they intensify. right now we actually have tornado watch boxes and warnings up for southern texas. let me show you just how vast this area of low pressure is. it's extends over 900 miles. so we've got some big cities out there under the gun for today. let me widen out for you and show you what the storm prediction center says about today. you see the area shaded in green and yellow? thunderstorm risk for today, severe storms at that. that is what creates that tornadic rotation. so the severe threat extends for today, cleveland, detroit, houston. as we head throughout tomorrow it's all going to move to the northeast section of the nation. we'll have more detailing on this coming up. right now back to you, sam and laura. >> thank you very much. let's check a quick peak outside

right now. the roadways at the san mateo bridge which had to be closed for the entire weekend. good news, if you were going out your door this morning and hoping for the best it actually reopened within the last 90 minutes or so right on time. in fact, even the smidge early. we're going to check on all of the roadways for the area. coming up with mike inouye. meantime, happening today an already burning debate sobt to see a temperature increase. this morning dozens of parents are going to be rallying against a bill to force all children to be vaccinated before they can go to school. "today in the bay's" bob ridell is in campbell where parents are just about to gather hours from now to express their discontent with this legislation. >> reporter: sam, you're going have parents like elaine shtein of san jose to protest outside senator jim bell's office here in campbell to iks press her discdi displeasu displeasure. this bill would require parents to have their children vaccinated in order to attend school.

otherwise they would have to home-school their children. shtein has a son with autism which she believes was caused in part by his vaccination, against sb-277 because it would remove the personal belief exemption from the law. right now parents can choose to exempt their children for religious or personal reasons. the bill would change that banning unvaccinated children from public and private schools. >> it's very severe legislation. kind of over reaching parents having the right to choose what gets ingested into their children. >> now, the author of this bill have agreed to a concession for those parents who oppose this legislation. that concession is that it would allow many public and private school students whose parents have already claimed the personal belief exemptions, it would let them be grandfathered in. this bill may go to a full senate vote as early as this week. reporting live here in campbell, bob ridell, "today in the bay." >> thank you very much, bob. a memorial service will be

heldton for a mother and baby daughter killed by alleged drink driver. they are invited to remember ez per ran sa morales rodriguez and 14-month-old baby girl juli. police say 35-year-old brian jones was drunk driving a week and half ago when he hit the two in livermore. service begins at 7:00 at st. francis xavier children on lasalle avenue in seaside. mother and daughter will be buried in mexico. the call girl charged in the death of a google executive is going to be back in court later today. a judge expected to set a preliminary hearing date for 27-year-old alex tickleman, accused of injecting forest hayes of a lethal dose of heroin on his yacht in november of 2013. tickleman faces felony manslaughter charges for allegedly leave that boat as hayes lay dying. 6:06. is there proof of police bias? new data shows san jose officers are pulling over and questioning

more blacks and latinos compared to other races. according to a report by the san jose mercury news. they looked at activity from january through september. the report shows although blacks and latinos make up one-third of the city's population, those groups represented nearly two-thirds of the traffic stops. once stopped, blacks and latinos were significantly more likely to be ordered out of vehicles, frisked, and have their cars searched. only 6% of all those stops ended in an arrest. you can't say we didn't warn you. something is fishy in the east bay. at least in the tap water. this morning residents are waking up to odd tasting water. >> "today in the bay's" stephanie chuang is live in oakland. the water may taste and smell funny but they say it's still safe to drink. >> reporter: they do. that's the bottom line. it's not ideal but it's safe. and east bay m.u.d. outside the headquarters this morning is saying it could be worse. the alternative would be that we don't have huh v. enough water at all for next year. the driver behind this is really

twofold. you're talking about the eco system protection and also because of the drought. east bay m.u.d. typically draws the sierra water from the reservoir but the federal government requires the cold water from the lower areas to be reserved for salmon that are trying to spawn and this is especially true with the worsening drought conditions. this means the water for the customers for east bay m.u.d. is coming from a higher location with more sunlight exposure and more algae. so that is what's behind the funkier taste. east bay m.u.d. did this before in march and says overall it got 1,000 complaints. but it stresses it treats all the water and it is safer drinking for the 1.3 million customers that it serves in alameda and contra costa counties. if you haven't tasted or smelled anything different you could start to smell and taste differently in your water as early aston. live in oakland this morning, stephanie chuang, "today in the bay." >> maybe extra creamer in your coffee to take away the fish smell. >> have to drown that out.

no pun intended. time to check your microclimate sfraforecast as we low-hanging clouds. >> it looks like a good morning for a nice hot cup of coffee. >> that sounds delicious. maybe we should get some after the show. temperatures in the 50s. as you're waking up having your coffee, getting the kids ready for school, temperatures are kind of nice out there right now. not too cold. this afternoon though we're not going to see a lot of warming. one reason why is because this is an area of low pressure on the way slated to bring us more shower activity. and, yeah, the sierra nevada didn't get a lot of snow so the reservoirs are empty. i was just at one yesterday and it is looking pretty good. we should get live pictures and show you that. i'm going to work on that for today. wide spread low clouds for this morning. sunny and breezy later on. what you will notice here not a lot of temperature separation. upper 50s on the peninsula.

san francisco, the east bay. and you will see a couple of mid 60s at noon in the north bay. that's the warm location when highs come in. at 4:00 p.m., 73 out there. meanwhile, low to mid 60s everywhere else. getting into the next couple of days, changes to tell you about. we'll see that wind increase for today. tomorrow temperatures stay steady and then we bring on the rain even some lightning and thunder. more on this coming up in your main forecast. right now though i want to get you out that front door. on a good note even though it's monday, mike, you always cheer us up. >> qualify even though it's a monday. thank you. let's look out there. chopper, this is san mateo bridge reopened a little bit -- couple minutes ahead of schedule without any problems. looking at the toll plaza. this is very lightly traveled road at the toll plaza. picking up the volume though. i will show you a more heavily traveled toll plaza where the metering lights were turned on early. we had the full backup here but the lanes off to the left a approach getting lighter now. kind of the at tern last week.

let's show you the approaches toward the bridges. east shore freeway, slowing down through richmond. overton left side we see no delays. this pattern for the colors are typical for a monday at this time. looking to the tri-valley as we move over. livermore, pleasanton, showing slower drives around that castro valley y and slowing for northbound 238. south 880 is slowing toward the san mateo bridge which is open. full service this morning for 92 across the water. dumbarton bridge, great work over the weekend. easier drive this morning. south bay with no delays. northbound would be your commute direction. 87 shows slowing but nothing dramatic. >> thank you very much, mike. still ahead, you might soon be able to get from the bay area to southern california for just 20 cents a mile. former hp ceo karly fironia

protecting yourself from identity theft. it is a real concern of late. it turns out there's one thing that not many of us are doing. experts call it crazy. we're talking about running a credit report. experts call it a great way to protect yourself from data breaches. they are free from the major companies if you get them once a year and it will red flag anything that looks suspicious. a new survey finds more than three out of ten american adults have never run a credit check. experts recommend doing so and storing a hard copy in your house. former hewlett-packard ceo was on "meet the press" sunday. >> and taking tough questions. she seemed very well prepared. >> she knows her weak spots, sam, the worse being that she laid off tens of thousands of people during her time as ceo

and host chuck todd did ask her about that to which fiorina explains she helped hp survive the worst tech downturn we've ever seen at a time when companies simply went belly up. she also acknowledged she was fired attributing that to the challenging of the status quo. she was asked about her website. fiorina as you probably know did not register carly fiorina.org when she was buying her website names. rookie mistake. someone else did turning it into a site critical of her at hp. >> you know what's interesting to me is that website as well as your line of questioning just leaves out a whole bunch of other facts. that's the thing about business. facts and numbers and results actually count. it's not just about words as it is if politics. >> fear fiorina did register the website chucktodd.com and

redirected it to karly for president and did the same for seth meyer as well. "saturday night live" introduced her as carly on a harley which i suppose is kind of the best they could do. has she ever ridden a moisture psyc motorcycle? they're stretching a bit. the fact that you get made fun of on "saturday night live" is fun times. >> it almost looks like a mechanical bull type of experience there. but, yeah, motorcycle. she lives to ride. you might want to get some places quickly. bullet train bargain, never thought wow you hear those words. you may soon be able to get san francisco to los angeles. >> l.a. times reports fares could be around $86. roughly 20 cents a mile would be one of the world's cheapest high speed rail trips. if completed the bullet train would connect san francisco to los angeles by 2029.

welcome back. 6:24. one of the world's largest drug makers is teaming up with a top university to find a cure for the aids virus. together they're creating the hiv cure center located on the university of north carolina campus. drug maker glaxosmithkline will invest $20 million over five years for the initial research plan. in the meantime university researchers will focus on an approach known as shock and kill which involves waking up the virus so cells become visible to the immune system. one process already worked out, a new kind of blood test that could transform treatment for people living with cancer. the tests are called liquid

biopsies and they work by capturing cancer cells or dna that tumors shed into the bloodstream instead of surgically taking tissue from the tumor itself. liquid biopsies are the first nonevasive way to sampal cancer so they can learn more about the genes and mutations and track whether a certain treatment is actually working. 6:25. when it comes to over weight children experts say many parents ignorance is bliss. >> the experts call this goldilocks syndrome, believing your child's weight is just right even as your child packs on more pounds. why researchers found more than 90% of parents thought their children's weight was about right. about 20% of the children were obese or overweight. they will be going more indepth on this story coming up on the "today" show. a lot of moms may have gotten surprise phone calls from loved ones on mother's day. >> hopefully the ones they pthed from kids. three moms got calls that completely caught them off guard from president obama who is on the other end of the line. >> hi, stephanie?
