>> we will get out on the plaza in a bit. out west, up to 10 inches. >> the powerful pacific storm affecting millions of americans out west. steve patterson is live this mortgage. >> reporter: good morning, craig and sheinelle. this is the most powerful storm to hit southern california in years for good reason. first of all, the rainfall has been absolutely incredible. more rainfall in some places in one day than those areas would get in one month. what does that mean? it means flash flooding, absolutely everywhere. washed out roads causing dozens of accidents. in one case, rescue crews found a man submerged in flood waters. pronounced dead on the scene. the wind has been just as bad. wind gusts up to 80 miles an hour. in some cases, toppling trees and landing on power lines. the power lines arcing and

sparking. in one case, a tree land oed on top of a car which killed a 55-year-old man. about 150 calls for downed power lines last night. about 150,000 customers without power in the los angeles area. mudslides also a major problem. nearly 200 homes in the hillside communities thought to be in the red zone or the threat zone. that situation will only get worse after the storm ends because the rainfall saturated so much of the land here. the mudslides will be more likely. back out here live, we have been watching the incredible situation. crews pulling cars from the massive sinkhole that swallowed two cars. because of a miraculous rescue, nobody was hurt. the full power of the storm has been on display and we are nowhere near over with it at this point. more rainfall expected today and another system moves through

early next week. craig and sheinelle. >> steve, thank you. >> indra is standing by with a deeper look at this thing. when can they look at relief? >> it is not just this storm, but another one behind it. the ground is saturated here. 22 million people with the risk and flood treat. the greatest threat in the burn areas. anything where the water is coming down. here is the first storm. this is the last 12 hours. you are talking about 2 to 6 inches of rain in the coastal sections. in the foothills, up to 10 inches of rainfall. now you have the second storm making its way in. there is going to be a difference with the first storm and second storm. that is where the focus is. remember the river? the atmospheric river? that is pointed at northern california. especially out toward san francisco. the next system makes its way in tomorrow. you are barely getting relief. heavy rainfall making its way

through oroville. southern california, scattered showers with the second system. remember, the winds gusting 76 miles per hour. powerful storm still in the area. meanwhile, the second system focusing on northern california. craig. >> thank you, indra. a look at other headlines we are following this morning starting with the president and vice president on the road. vice president pence at the munich security conference trying to calm allies about the american support. he said the u.s. is unwaivering in the commitment to nato. the president is touring a boeing plant in south carolina. promising workers he would return jobs across the nation. he is now in florida to hold a campaign-style rally. a new development in the suspicious death of the half brother of north korea leader he. the north korea man arrested in

malaysia for what is called the assassination of kim jong-nam. the estranged half brother of kim jong-un. said he was sprayed with a chemical at the airport. and now to the exciting countdown in florida. the launch of the spacex rocket planned to liftoff in the next few hours. kerry sanders live at the kennedy space center. kerry, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the countdown is under way, sheinelle. t-minus 1:54.38. the engineers had been concerned that the liftoff was an issue with the helium leak. they have plugged that up. based on the weather, there is a 70% chance of liftoff. the falcon 9 rocket poised for st

take off from pad 39 a. where the rockets have launched and shuttle missions. >> liftoff. >> reporter: a private company spacex is now using this pad adds a nostalgic weight of getting it right. >> how do you feel? >> very high anxiety. worse for this particular one. falcon 9 off pad 39a. historical mission. it's nerve wracking. >> reporter: gwen shotwell is the president of spacex. >> what does this make you think of? >> i remember being a little girl. my father sitting me in front of the tell e my father sitting me in front of the tell vision screen. back and white. i saw astronauts land on the moon. >> reporter: she and spacex founder elon musk hope to inspire similar feelings for

another generation when spacex lands on mars. target date? only 16 to 20 years from now. >> you know, spacex, everybody told us we would never get to orbit. with a little rocket, we did that. we would never get to the international space station. we did that. >> mars ? >> absolutely. >> reporter: another tricky part to the liftoff. that is after it lifts off and the top goes away. then the lower part, the lower stage will come back toreuse it. it is like bringing a pencil back down to earth and try to land it on something that is the size of a dinner plate. if they can capture the lower stage, again, that means they can then reuse it. that's all part of the economics that they believe will eventually allow them to head to

mars. amazing. >> amazing. kerry, i will never look at my pen the same way. amazing college professor. kerry, thank you. we have a milestone in migration to show you this morning. check this out. officials in argentina say this is the largest gathering ever seen of the south american penguins. more than 1 million have gathered on the peninsula ready to migrate. the large numbers are because of an unusually large supply of fish in surrounding waters. 1 million. >> wow. let's go to indra. she is outside with another check of the weather. >> good morning. if you were celebrating your 25th wedding anniversary, where would you go? new york city? >> dallas, texas. >> go longhorns. >> are you enjoying the weather? >> yes. >> big plans? what are you doing for the big day? >> we're going to walk around. >> enjoy the city.

could mean flooding in nearby creeks. >> out here about 26, 28 years ago, when the spillway first went over. we came out here and it looked like niagara falls. >> wow. the latest storm is toppling trees throughout the south bay like this one on south park lane in santa clara. it was a close call. >> very happy that it fell to the street, because my bedroom is right there, and my partner was still in bed when it fell. so it could have been a disaster situation. >> and in capitola, this massive eucalyptus went crashing down on park avenue blocking traffic and further north in socal another tree snapping power lines hitting a house and crushing this pickup. fortunately, no one was hurt. despite the fact that the storms continue, california state water officials feel confident that the spillways at the oroville dam will hold. they say water continues to be released and that right now the lake is about 40 feet below the overflow height. >> let's be clear. the things we're dealing with

are very serious and that's why i've continued to say time and time again that this is still an emergency situation. >> crews have been working nonstop in this rain to ensure the damage to the oroville spillway remains stable. coming up at 7:00 on "today in the bay," people are getting hit by blow darts on south bay streets. what restaurants and neighbors are saying about these serious attacks. that plus all your top stories and weather, of course, coming up at 7:00. we really hope you join us. right now we'll send you back to the "today" show.
