and now, the concern is landslides. these boulders shut down a road in yosemite. in southern california, the saturated ground is also shifting. thousands of homes are threatened by fast-moving mud along the coast, million dollar mansions are also getting pounded by high surf. >> got nailed. >> reporter: waves up to 25-feet high helping to create massive sinkholes like this one. and the extreme weather catching many tourists by surprise. >> i'm from baltimore. i thought it didn't rain here. >> reporter: homeowners are now taking advantage of any break in the rain to clean up before the next storm strikes. and that next dose arrives saturday. luckily it's expected to be lighter rain but still many are nervous in the mudslides areas already saturated. >> it's going to be a long weekend ahead. while it was rainy and windy

mountains it was a different story. >> in big bear, california, 30 inches of snow fell in just 48 hours. i know you love big bear. >> it was turning roads into danger zones and knocking out power. ski hills needed generators. now winter storms are threatening the middle of the country, as well. accuweather's justin povick has the latest. good morning. >> kayna, kendis, good friday morning to you, as well. two storms that we're tracking across the country and i have some good news. the west is finally starting to quiet down. they have just been nonstop here all week long. really dating back to last week, as well. storm system number one spreading a steady swathe of rain from d.c. to boston. perhaps some icing over the interior, as well. we are concerned about roadway travel delays. storm number two. bigger storm for the weekend spreading a large area of showers and thunderstorms which will eventually get into the southeast and oh, yeah, we're concerned about some wintry weather, as well.

warmer air out ahead. we are concerned about heavy snow. kayna and kendis, back to you. >> our thanks to justin at accuweather. we're following a story this morning. federal agents arrested two people in separate incidents on terrorism charges. first in sacramento, a 23-year-old iraqi man arrested accused of trying to travel to syria to fight with terror organizations. in houston, a 24-year-old also an iraqi man was apprehended and charged with providing material support to isis. although similar, the feds have yet to link the two arrests. >> french investigators now say they are treating a foiled attack outside of a paris police station as an act of terror. they shot and killed a screaming knivie wielding man pledging his allegiance to isis. abc's alex marquardt is there. >> reporter: this cell phone video shows the moments after that takedown. at about 11:30 a.m., the man carrying a meat cleaver shouted, "god is great" in arabic and threatened the police.

the police station. when the man didn't stop, they started shooting. >> reporter: a bomb squad moved in to analyze what looked like a suicide belt. a robot inspected the body. the belt turned out to be a fake. but on the young man, wearing jeans, were a paper isis flag and a note pledging allegiance to its leader. french authorities say that the man, in his early 20s, was born in morocco, and was not known to have been radicalized. the incident comes on the first anniversary of the massacre at the satirical newspaper "charlie hebdo" by two brothers tied to al qaeda that left 1 dead. and after the isis attacks in november that killed 130, this man told us, we talk every day about the attacks that have happened and the attacks that will happen. just before the attack, france's president gave a speech, thanking the country's security forces. but he has warned that france is not finished with terrorism, and the country remains at its

alex marquardt, abc news, paris. also new this morning, dozens of police officers dead after a truck bombing in libya. about 200 others were injured. it happened at a police base where recruits were training. no one is claiming responsibility. but a local islamic state affiliate is suspected. smugglers operating in libya also resort to violence. libya has been in chaos since moammar gadhafi was overthrown three years ago. >> so instead of the running of the bulls it's been the running of the bears on wall street this week. u.s. markets are off to their worst start in a long time because of problems overseas, specifically china. where stock trading was halted twice this week because of big drops. this morning we can say the shanghai index was up and down before closing up 2%. and a good u.s. jobs report today could actually bolster the markets here. >> tonyia couch has a date in court this morning. she's the mother of the so-called affluenza teen brought back to texas yesterday.

charges she helped her son flee to mexico. ethan was convicted of killing four people while driving drunk. ayew tube video allegedly shows him violating his probation. he remains in mexico fighting extradition. >> on the other side of the country, donald trump packed a full house last night in burlington, vermont. thousands of trump supporters waited for several hours in the cold as well as hundreds of protesters. it came as trump unleashed a new attack on the clintons with a new ad challenging hillary clinton's record on women's rights saying she enabled the former president during his sex scandals. but mr. clinton on the campaign trail in iowa refusing to take the bait. >> it hasn't been a very pretty picture for her or for bill because i'm the only one willing to talk about his problems. >> and are you worried that your past could hurt your wife's campaign? >> i don't have a response. if he wins the republican nomination, we'll have plenty of time to talk about it. >> you know, it really is a

just yesterday, "time" magazine put trump on their cover with the headline "how trump won." >> well, in the meantime, trump is also throwing punches at his closest competitor in the gop race. we're talking about ted cruz. he's again raising the question of whether the canadian born senator is eligible to hold the nation's highest office and now trump is finding an unexpected ally on capitol hill. abc's tom llamas is on the campaign trail in iowa. >> reporter: as senator ted cruz drove through iowa today, donald trump tweeted him a helpful message -- "ted, free legal advice, how to preempt democrats on citizen issue. go to court. you will win." the senator's answer. "thanks, but no thanks." >> i'm not going to be taking legal advice any time soon from donald trump. >> reporter: trump relentlessly jabbing cruz for being born in canada. >> do you believe senator ted cruz is a natural born citizen? >> i don't know, to be honest. >> reporter: and now, he's finding an unexpected ally in senator john mccain, someone he insulted last summer. >> he's not a war hero. >> he's a war hero.

>> five and a half years -- >> he's a war hero because he was captured. i like people who weren't captured. >> reporter: but despite their bad blood, mccain says he agrees with trump that cruz has some explaining to do. >> i think there is a question. i'm not a constitutional scholar on that, but i think it's worth looking into. i don't think it's illegitimate to look into it. >> reporter: mccain's comments, particularly notable since he, too, was born outside the u.s., and faced questions about whether he was fit to be president. but mccain says his situation is different, because he was born on an american military base in the panama canal zone. senator mccain is questioning whether legally, if you can become president. do you have a problem? >> oh, listen. it is no surprise, everybody knows that john mccain is going to endorse marco rubio. >> reporter: when he tells his life story, cruz talks about growing up in texas. >> so, i grew up in texas. >> reporter: he moved there when he was 4. but he never says anything about canada.

he went through his bio, he just jumped right over that. i wanted him to speak to that, and he didn't. >> reporter: so, you think he should explain how he was born in canada and why? >> well, at least just mention it. >> reporter: and we did speak with constitutional scholars. the general consensus is cruz is eligible to be president. the supreme court has never ruled on this issue. if cruz were to take this to court, the experts tell us, he would win. tom llamas, webster city, iowa. >> cold and rainy in iowa. >> that issue is gaining traction. >> put it out there and then boom. >> now this story. a seemingly frantic doing in massachusetts did its best imitation of lassie running for help to save a friend in danger. >> except that friend wasn't a danger like lassie's owner timmy. it was another scottish terrier like himself, jock and anna bell had run off into the woods near their home where they were

police tracked down jac but they couldn't find young annabelle. >> jac led them to an embankment where a shivering annabelle was trapped at the bottom of a ravine. they rescued her. both dogs are safe and at home this morning. >> i think that's a really cool story. for the rescuers let the dog lead them you know. >> yes, towards it. >> especially for little dogs like that, you want to cuddle them up. >> annabelle's last name is skywalker skywalker. annabelle skywalker. >> coming up "insomniac theater." leo dicaprio's new movie and a horror show. the reviews are in. >> also ahead a liver donor and the recipient sharing more than a transplant experience. the unbreakable bond. >> and the broken hearted man accused of a string of arson attacks on his groonlsmen. way till you hear his explanation. it really is a good thing that the book mobile for great falls,
