a decision on monday in the bob mcdonald former governor case. these will be the last decisions of the term, we expect them monday at 10:00 a.m. have a good weekend. get some sleep monday's busy. msnbc live is next. good morning everyone. i'm alex witt here in new york at msnbc world headquarters. here's what's happening. deadly flooding and dramatic rescues, a tragedy in west virginia at this hour. the big breakup, ripples from great britain's eu exit. what it means to americans. donald trump's take, the presumptive nominee takes his brash opinions overseas t fallout from what he said. it's not over till it's over. bernie sanders says he'll vote for hillary clinton but his campaign refuses to concede, so what does it all mean?
4:01 am
but we begin with this breaking news. historic and deadly flood waters in west virginia, at least 23 are dead including two children. thousands remain without power after a heavy rainfall which lasted up to eight hours. the threat of pop-up showers remain a concern this morning. meanwhile, the hot weather pattern continues this weekend across parts of the state. the weather channel's kelly cass has the forecast. what are we in for? >> hey there, alex, we're looking at a very hot and sticky day. it's our last weekend of june so you tend to expect that this time of year. much of the south temperatures well into the 90s, but you factor in the humidity, it's going to feel more like the triple digits. there is a chance we could see pop-up showers and storms in texas and florida. you are loving life in the northeast, though, beautiful weather from philly, new york on up to boston. plenty of sunshine here. we are going to have to watch for severe storms, though, with a cold front through the upper midwest so much watch out.
4:02 am
damaging winds the threat. we can't rule out the possibility of isolated tornados, the same cold front cuts through chicago into tomorrow morning and have to watch out across detroit and toledo tomorrow. temperatures today, low 90s in chicago for the white sox at home. we're going to be hot in the desert southwest as well with phoenix well in the triple digits, 82 los angeles, 72 beautiful degrees in seattle. it's going to be nice in the northwest and as i mentioned, very nice with low levels of humidity in the northeast as well. so, a good looking beach day out there. enjoy it. alex, back to you. let's go to political headlines. priorities usa is adding pennsylvania to its list of battleground states with a tv ad buy of 10$10.5 million. moments after the financial markets closed. and hours after the presumptive republican nominee celebrated the brexit decision. the ads begin airing july 5 and through the election and makes pennsylvania the ninth state
4:03 am
where the super pac is pouring in millions. the republican effort to deny trump the nomination escalated to a class action lawsuit filed by a delegate from virginia. this as an ad juxtaposing ronald reagan's speeches to trump is set to air across national cable networks tomorrow. let's take a listen. >> use of force is always and only a last resort. >> i would bomb the [ bleep ] out of them. >> vice president joe biden is calling out donald trump by name for his rhetoric. here is what he told reporters in dublin, ireland following the brexit decision. >> i traveled over a million and 200,000 miles now on behalf of the president, meeting with heads of state and speaking all over the world. and they are worried that is this the new face of america? it's not. the vast majority of the american people do not agree with donald trump's xenophobia. we've gone through these periods
4:04 am
before. we always come out the other side. we will this time too. >> joining me now, associate editor of the hill and kate martell also at the hill. a welcome to you both. nile, you are originally from ireland. is it northern or? >> i'm originally from northern ireland. >> now, people here keep trying to draw parallels between the trump movement and the public psyche on the brexit vote. are there both simt layerties and differences? >> yeah. i think this are. i think there is a certain element of nationalism and reflex if nationalism on both sides. there are a lot of differences. this was, after all, a vote in britain on the european union, and it's that institution i think that elicits such skepticism from people. and even people who enjoy the benefits ofeing in the eu ten find things like the
4:05 am
european commission, which is basically unelected, to be dubious from a democratic standpoint. so those things are different whereas here in the u.s., obviously donald trump you know, is appealing as somewhat different sensibility. >> yeah. how about reaction now, categorize that. is it overblown? >> i think that there is a lot of panic. i think there is a degree to which it is overblown. the falls in the stock market were dramatic but not catastrophic. i know that's a rather small comfort to cling to. but you know, there will be a way through this. that's not to say it won't hurt the uk, but you know, the world is not ending. >> kate, listen to part of donald trump's response to the brexit vote. >> i think it does show something about the people wanting their country back and i can tell you in the united states the people want their country back. in the united states people want
4:06 am
smart decisions, not dumb decisions. and we've been given dumb decisions for many years and the people are tired of it. and i have a feeling the same thing has happened here. >> so kate, how is that reaction playing out and does the outcome of the brexit vote, help trump's campaign? >> it's interesting for me about that press conference yesterday is that trump talked for 31 seconds about the brexit vote. and then he immediately switched to going back to talking about the golf course and the beautiful amenities. so david cameron had just resigned, the stock market was tanking and the pound was dropping yet donald trump was talking about the beautiful amenities. i don't know how well that's going to play for him especially when people are concerned about their 401k's and looking at the pound, are they going to when they see clips of what donald trump is saying, that being said, there is a whole constituency of people looking at what donald trump is saying and supporting the brexit vote saying you know, look, we're
4:07 am
nationalist, populists and we support what the uk is going to do. i think it will be interesting. if donald trump doesn't win i don't think it will be because of the remarks yesterday but i don't think they are going to help him. >> the remarks, said that trump was temper mentally unfit to be president. how might all of this play here? >> exactly. you know, i think at this point it looks like it will help hillary clinton. hillary clinton is in an interesting spot she can step back and she can use her experience as secretary of state to say hey, i've been through this stuff and you know, the phrase of her saying that he is temper mentally unfit can resonate with voters, we can see in ads. depending how donald trump continues to play with the stock market i think if the economy does well it will help hillary clinton. if the economy ends up not doing well it might show that donald trump might be more of a change. so i think it will be interesting to see what the economy does. >> here, the super pac
4:08 am
supporting hillary clinton spending more than $10 million in pennsylvania as we mentioned, the latest poll shows a pretty tight race there. you think it suggests a level of concern from the clinton camp to be investing this much money? >> i'm not sure it's concern so much as it is recognition of the importance of pennsylvania. actually this relates to what we have been talking about, donald trump sees his path to victory in this election through states like pennsylvania and ohio to some extent michigan, states that have been democratic in most recent elections, and i think if hillary clinton stops him there, it's really very difficult to see where his pathway to the white house comes. republicans start off at a disadvantage in the electoral map or electoral college these days, and in addition to that you have really crucial states like florida where donald trump is expected or is projected to struggle. >> cure lus yi, does donald
4:09 am
trump have anything to counter that in these nine states where the pac is advertising? >> at this point now donald trump has $1.3 million on hand. that is not enough to be able to counter any of these attacks. right now donald trump really hasn't been organizing to the extent. we're going to need to see over the next few months him airing ads, just between may 8 and june 16 the hillary clinton campaign not even including her super pac, aired 7,000 ads, donald trump aired zero. so he's going to need to counter it but he hasn't at this point. >> before i let you go, can i ask about brexit, 17.4 million voted to leave, 16.1 million to stay. and now we've been told in the last 24 hours there are a million plus who signed saying we need to do this vote over again. plus, add to that the google said that the second most searched item there in the great britain was the eu, what is the
4:10 am
eu. what does this suggest to you? >> well, the second biggest google search doesn't suggest anything good that would vote without knowing what the eu was. but more seriously, i think there are efforts as you say under way to try to change or supersede this vote. i would say, though, it's very difficult, this referendum was demanded for a long time by skeptics. it is difficult, not without precedent but difficult to turn around and say well, the people have rendered their verdict but we want them to change it. >> okay. thank you both so much. back now to the deadly floods. ravaging west virginia. officials fear the number killed could rise as crews search for those stranded in homes and cars. morgan ratford is east of charleston where the waters have been rising. what's the situation like with a good morning to you? >> reporter: good morning to you. authorities were able to set up
4:11 am
emergency escape route where you see hundreds of people were trapped in this mall behind me for 24 moving into 48 hours. they were able to get some of the people out last night but when darkness fell it became unsafe so there are people you can see cars in the parking lot trapped inside expected to be force evacuated at 9:00 a.m. this morning. but as some of the people drove out last night, the death toll began to rise. 23 fatalities this morning. the most devastating flooding in its history. 10 inches of rain pounding west virginia in 24 hours. up to 500 people freed overnight, national guard troops built a temporary escape rescuing shoppers trapped over 24 hours. inside this mall after a bridge collapsed. >> i was panicking because i knew there was no way i could get to my daughter. >> we're a whole lot luckier than a lot of people. >> reporter: flood currents so swift they proved deadly. fatalities climbing as hours
4:12 am
passed. an 8-year-old boy and 4-year-old toddler among the dead. >> it's been a long 24 hours and the next 24 hours may not be much easier. >> reporter: across the state, houses floating by on fire. >> watch out. >> reporter: cars swept away with people still trapped inside. >> i watched my car kind of flip into the abyss. >> reporter: others without electricity. >> nobody has anything. >> there is no where to go. >> no. there's nowhere to go. >> reporter: neighbors scrambling to recover what little they have left. >> you don't know where your house is. >> i'm finding parts of it as i'm searching. i lived around here my entire life. i've never seen anything to this level. >> reporter: pain shared by residents and rescuers. >> being a small town might not know everybody's name but you still familiar with faces. and it hurts. >> reporter: 44 counties remain under a state of emergency this
4:13 am
morning. more than 19,000 homes are still without power. there are no flash flood warnings here today, which is welcome news to rescuers who still have to get those people out. >> morgan, did that gentleman you interviewed say he has been seeing parts of his house? his house broke apart? >> reporter: he walked back to that lot i found him. he saw pieces of his house. i was with him when he found that bike you saw. that was his. i left he said i still haven't been able to find my roof. >> good night. okay. morgan, thank you so much. well, not everyone in scotland

after britain voted to leave the european union donald trump said people got their country back and america could be next. katy tur is following the camp. good morning to you long distance. lots of reaction to trump's comments on brexit. do we expect to hear more from him today? >> reporter: ironic donald trump was praising brexit in scottland, one of the few places that voted to stay. still he is seeing the vote and the decision to leave as something as a victory. campaigning on trade, immigration and a sense of nationalism. the same points that donald trump tries to make on the campaign trail. in a country still reeling from the vote to leave the eu, donald trump is living it up. heading to trump international golf links in aberdeen this morning.

friday, at trump's other scottish golf course he praised the so called brexit. >> they took back their country. that's a great thing. >> reporter: and shrugged off fears of a global recession. >> they are going to do more business. when the pound goes down more people are coming, frankly. >> reporter: the candidate breaking tradition again while past hopefuls have gone abroad to bolster their foreign policy trump crossed the pond for his brand. >> inside the light house is incredible suites. >> reporter: he didn't leave politics at the water's edge, standing on foreign soil and trashing president obama for encouraging the uk to stay in the eu before they voted. >> when he said it people were not happy about it and i thought it was totally inappropriate. >> reporter: trump commenting the vote to leave the eu was endorsement of his platform. >> i really do see a parallel between what's happening in the united states and what's happening here. people want to see borders.

>> reporter: aberdeen is trump's last stop before heading home and some locals can't wait to see him go. michael is something of a local hero around here. for refusing to sell his home so trump could expand his property. today he is staging a one-man protest. >> well, god help the country, that's what i say. god help the world. >> reporter: this is the tenth property that donald trump has taken reporters to leading some critics to wonder whether this is more of a branding tour than a run for the white house. alex. >> something to wonder. thank you so much. well, the brexit vote sends the stock market plummeting. will this trend continue and the long term effects it could have on your investment. hmmmmm...

4:24 am
loss of about $3100 in american's 401(k)'s alone. is there anything folks can do to protect investments? >> i think first try to understand what's going on. keep in mind we've been through things like this before, we've been through the greek debt crisis, the downgrade of the u.s. sovereign debt rating and those all produced dramatic stock market moves, some were even worse than we saw yesterday. we've been through this before and it's worth keeping in mind that the fundamentals of the u.s. economy are pretty good. and it's hard to predict where the stock market's going to go but a lot of analysts looking back to other shocks like this are saying look, what usually happens is the markets will drift downward for another week, maybe two weeks, then it's pretty likely we'll see a rebound and perhaps even get back to break even as we start to sort through the implications of this and figure out where it goes from here. >> okay. i know it's supposed to all
4:25 am
happen in two years, that's when they are supposed to be able to exit themselves from the eu. but some analysts say it might take up to ten years for it to completely happen. look, investors do not like uncertainty. there is an analyst that says it will help our economy in the long run. you agree? >> it could help a little bit. but this really is not going to affect the u.s. very much at the end of the day. so the the dollar has gone up, the dollar got stronger, it will probably get stronger still. that will make imported goods cheaper here of it it will also impact u.s. manufacturers because u.s. goods get more expensive overseas so you get a wash out there. at the end of the day this will not harm the u.s. economy. but you're right, so what the uk has to do, it's really going to cause havoc in the uk for a long time. even if it's better for the uk in the long run and i think the jury's out on that, they are going to have to renegotiate
4:26 am
trade deals all around the world. they are going to be you know, under this cloud of uncertainty for a long time. i think the markets will pretty -- will do a pretty good job of just fencing off the uk and you know, you sort of have to create -- that becomes an unknown scenario and you hedge against that. and i think we're going to go back to business as usual provided there are no other shocks like this. >> when you wrote yesterday britain just did the world a huge favor what did you mean? >> we've had a lot of talk and fervor over this anti-globalization move, but we don't know what actually happens when any country actually turns its back on the global economy and says we're going to go it alone. now we have a test case. and we are going to find out what happens when a country actually does this. we'll be able to say hey, do we think we want to go that route? i think i mean, the uk basically imposed a recession on itself. it probably won't be a deep and
4:27 am
terrible recession, but the uk economy was pretty strong last week. and now it's going to get weaker. they are going to have rising unemployment, rising inflation. they are probably going to lose some companies that relocate to continental europe. and i think in a few months everybody who thinks it seems like a great idea to thumb your nose is likely to look at britain saying wait a minute, i'm not sure we want to go through that. that doesn't look like such a great deal. so we're finally going to see what happens when a country does this. >> in terms of wait a minute you are familiar with this petition over a million signatures saying we need to rethink this. let's maybe have a second referendum. they have to consider the petition because it got over 100,000 signatures, it's much like the rules here with the white house. is that possibility, the second referendum? >> buyer's remorse. sure, this referendum is not binding. just because vorts said we want to leave does not mean that the
4:28 am
british government needs to do that. if they were to ignore the will of the people, if you will i think there would be an uproar. this is the uncertainty that we're seeing. so we're going to have a new government in the uk at some point but that itself will take a few months. cameron is basically punting saying cameron the prime minister, saying this is up to the next guy or the next woman to handle. i'm sort of out of it. so, it is -- it's not -- i think there is a chance that the eu rather the uk reconsiders in some way. i'm not sure how it will happen but this is all unprecedented. >> everything down in our markets. what do you think for monday? >> it's i think we're going to have edgy markets for sure for the next several days, probably the next week. i'm being a fool predicting what's going to happen in the stock markets. predicting volatility is a pretty safe bet. at some point we've seen this over and over, at some point the
4:29 am
markets need to go back to just paying attention to fundamentals, corporate earnings, the e thing that seems to have change forward real is that the federal reserve now probably will not raise interest rates in july, possibly not in september and possibly not the rest of the year. i'll throw one other thing in there. borrowing rates including mortgage rates are likely to go down. so we have another refinancing bonanza for anybody not able to refinance the last couple years when rates were low. you might get another shot. >> good time to do it. good to see you. thanks. brexit is having effect on the campaign trail. why the uk vote could spell trouble for hillary clinton. men.

4:33 am
candidates and on president obama. chris welker on the race. good morning. what are all of the candidates saying about the vote? >> reporter: good morning to you. president obama and hillary clinton had actually both expressed opposition to brexit, they stressed the need for consistency in trade and foreign policy. the vote of course didn't go their way. so their strategy now have a stiff upper lip and take aim at donald trump. as global markets cratered friday. >> stocks getting hammered. the dow dropped. >> reporter: president obama's message keep calm and carry on. >> one thing that will not change is the special relationship that exists between our two nations. that will endure. >> reporter: britain's vote to leave the eu is a defeat for the president. mr. obama took a risk campaigning against it and hillary clinton also opposed the leave effort. but in this video her campaign excoriated donald trump for
4:34 am
suggesting at his new golf resort that market volatility could be good for his business. >> when the pound goes down, more people are coming to turnbury. >> reporter: clinton's team drawing sharp distinction over her experience versus trump's. >> the voters are going to decide hillary clinton to navigate this unexpected developments on the world stage. >> reporter: the exit could spell trouble for clinton if the u.s. economy stalls voters might be more willing to give the white house to the other party. on friday, a mixed message from bernie sanders, sanders said the vote confirms his argument the global economy isn't working for everyone and yet for the first time sanders revealed he'll vote for his former rival. >> are you going to vote for hillary clinton in november? >> yes. i think the issue right here is i'm going to do everything i can to defeat donald trump. >> reporter: some democrats are privately worried. the british exit underscoring a
4:35 am
zeal at home. >> the brexit vote is better for donald trump. populism, resistance to immigration into the country. anger at institutions. >> reporter: sanders still in the race clinton is working hard to rally the populists in her own party. she is expected to speak publicly for the first time about the vote tomorrow in indiana. >> all right. thank you so much. britain's decision to leave the eu is having a ripple effect on the economy worldwide. when the nasdaq closed it was down over 200 points, dow down 600, s&p 76. lydia sterns is following all of these market changes. a good morning to you. so are we going to continue to see this dip in the market or do you expect things will turn around? >> what we would like to know. the bottom line is that the market did not expect this. the past couple days, weeks actually leading up to the vote yesterday or on thursday, the
4:36 am
market started pricing in that britain would vote to remain in the you'european unionment nobo knows what is going to happen next and all of that uncertainty is a big flashing sell signal. take a look what happened yesterday. from the opening bell to the closing bell, a day of turmoil in global markets with the dow jones dropping over 600 points. >> i think this is just the tip of the iceberg. the british problem is far more widespread. >> reporter: alan greenspan sounding off on the brexit and warning of its impact at home. >> this is the worst period i recall since i've been in public service. >> reporter: americans with 401(k)'s losing average of $3100 but it may stabilize in the coming weeks. >> you think the brexit is going to drag down the stock market all summer? >> i think it's going to keep a lid on it. i don't want to say it's going
4:37 am
to drag it down. you hear about problems in europe the dollar gets strong and interest rates go lower. >> reporter: with the fed less likely to raise rates that's good news if you want to buy a home, bad if you have money in a savings account. economic uncertainty could slow growth in the u.s. especially if consumers cut spending and companies cut jobs and manufacturing. another silver lining for america, the u.s. dollar is now worth a lot more in the uk. meaning a trip to buckingham palace just got a whole lot cheaper. >> there might be these near term benefits we're seeing, lower interest rates, cheaper travel abroad. the volatility in financial markets we know nobody likes to watch that it's like endless roller coaster ride and they are fun only for a very short period of time. >> of course a lot of us are going to have the temptation to sell now because of all of this uncertainty. advisers tell you that's the worst thing you can do is sell right after there has been a steep market drop. that said, if you consider how
4:38 am
low interest rates are right now and if you are fortunate to have some money that you are looking to invest you might want to consider buying a home because of how low the rates are going to be on the mortgage. than putting more back in the stock market. >> good advice as always from you. thank you so much. let's get more reaction now to do that we bring in joe watkins, republican strategist and former aide to george h.w. bush and rick tyler, former spokesman for ted cruz. good to see you. so some argue that britain's decision foreshadows a trump victory out of many of the same sentiments in the words of who new york times anger at elites, anxiety about loss of sovereignty and perhaps most of all resentment toward migrants and refugees. joe, is this truth to that? >> well, there is some truth to the fact the same sentiment that
4:39 am
you saw exhibited in england does exist here. certainly some anxiety about illegal immigrants being in this country and it's been strong enough to catapult donald trump into his election efforts. he won all of the primaries, the presumptive nominee of the party. donald trump still has to be concerned about the money that hillary clinton's going to spend in the battleground states where this election is going to be won or lost. not lost on the general sentiment of voters as it relates to immigration, it's going to be won in ohio, in florida, and pennsylvania and virginia and right now hillary clinton is getting ready to spend a lot of money on negative ads to define donald trump in those states. >> $10.5 million the latest investment there in pennsylvania. so there is a new report today that priorities usa is backing that one. that's what this -- where it's coming from. so with that, rick, is that a sign that the state is definitely in play, are there other states usually blue that
4:40 am
could be flipped in november? >> it's possible. look, given all of the trouble that donald trump had, he's essentially tied in pennsylvania, and if you look at the rust belt states where this message is taking hold, this is -- couple things. one, people are not worried so much about immigration as they are immigration without assimilation, that's number one. two, i don't think it's really the brexit was essentially a representation that people are against globalization per se, they are more against elitization, that is they were tired of having brussels dictate to them what their laws were going to be or their regulations, their taxes. it's a warning to the clinton campaign that donald trump is doing this well because what happened with brexit is more than half the country didn't believe their lead politicians. they were telling them every day it was going to be catastrophic, all of these things were going to happen. and yes, the markets did take a
4:41 am
tumble. but mostly they took back a lot of the gains they had with the brexit would not pass. or i'm sorry would pass. and you know, i think it will work out fine in the long run. >> so can i ask you, joe, to assess pennsylvania. it's your home state s. this something of a mirage? the gop always imagines winning but ends up losing that state. so how effective is advertising in that state? you think clinton might do irreparable damage in the coming weeks here to trump? >> well, pennsylvania is a very important state. i think the last time our party won was when my old boss george h.w. bush won it. it's a long time since pennsylvania has been a red state at a presidential election. but there certainly is a chance this time. so, i think hillary clinton is smart to spend in pennsylvania to try to make a dent and solidify her support in pennsylvania, it's a big state,
4:42 am
it's a very important state. and donald trump did very, very well here in the primaries. so expect him to do -- to have a strong showing in the fall election. >> so looking ahead to cleveland, starting tomorrow there is a group called free the delegates, they are going to air an ad encouraging them to break from trump. here is a piece of that. >> this national feeling is good. >> like to punch him in the face i'll tell you. >> it won't count for much and it won't last. unless it's grounded in thoughtfulness and knowledge. >> you got to see this guy. i don't know what i said. >> it's time to realize i think that we need god more than he needs us. >> i don't bring god into that picture. >> use of force is always and only a last resort. >> i would fwom [ bleep ] out of them. >> how effective do you think this strategy is, sflik how many delegates can they get to switch in the next few weeks? >> depends on the polling. i think if donald trump
4:43 am
continues to trail hillary by double digits and people think it will have a catastrophic effect on the party in the fall it might be effective. the problem is there is no replacement. you can't beat nobody with somebody. they don't -- they haven't identified alternative. it's hard to just reject the nominee and not have a vision or replacement already at hand. >> in terms of vision, rick, does the firing of corey lewandowski symbol a pivot and if so to what? >> well, it does. look, i think that -- i don't think corey was responsible for all of the troubles that the trump campaign had but it does look like they made a pivot. they are doing things differently, actually sending out press releases which got a news story which is a little funny in a presidential level. but look, the brexit was a big missed opportunity for donald trump. he had all night to fly over to scotland and learn about what he could say when he got there
4:44 am
about this what for the believers was a great victory and little to say about it and mostly things to say about his golf club. so it's kind of interesting. it's just, i think a lot of the people are with him but the campaign just is not firing on all cylinders. >> trump announced he had forgiven a $50 million campaign loan from himself, turning that into a donation. what does he get out half? what does it tell you about the state of his campaign? >> well, it says that maybe he has some more liquidity people give him credit for having. it doesn't discharge him from having to spend money in those key battleground states upcoming. there is no substitute for time when it comes to a november election and right now hillary clinton is spending money in those key battleground states. if you don't spend money to define yourself and define your opponent you get tarred by whatever they say about you. so, he's got to spend money in
4:45 am
those states to counter those ads coming out as we speak. >> joe, rick, always good to see you both. devastating wild fires tearing through california communities, coming up you'll hear from some of the victims who lost their homes. thanks for the ride around norfolk! and i just wanted to say, geico is proud to have served the military for over 75 years! roger that. captain's waiting to give you a tour of the wisconsin now. could've parked a little bit closer... it's gonna be dark by the time i get there. geico®. proudly serving the military for over 75 years. legalzoom has your back. for your business, our trusted network of attorneys has provided guidance to over 100,000 people just like you. visit legalzoom today. the legal help you can count on. legalzoom. legal help is here.

politics is a topic that's pretty difficult to avoid this summer but in darby, montana, some people have been able to unplug from the world of politics but that doesn't mean they don't have an opinion about it. msnbc's jacob soboroff has more. >> today there's a small and growing group of americans that are choosing to live in remote places like this in montana. ride one of these things to get home to be isolated, apart and off the grid away from the civilization we all live in day to day, particularly the politics. for the last ten year hank canner has called this mountain top of the bitterroot valley home. he has his own water well,
