there is just a still life with a few landmarks on the horizon and this empty hole, the little colorado river desert, the painted desert, and we were working on a 500-room pueblo dating back to about 1400 ad. i just remember the wind just hailing down on us for days and you would be working down with trowels inside of a trench and if you stop for too long, the sand would start to fill up your hole again because it was blowing so much and everybody was turned away from the wind. so it looked like some kind of religious thing was going on here, all these people bowed to the ground for days and days tinkering with some unimaginable smallness in front of them while the wind just pushed harder and harder, sand blasting across you, filling up all the rooms that you just emptied out as if the desert is rolling back over itself. because even where trails are left, trails disappear out there. nothing stays for too long, even the footprints that last for 7 years eventually disappear. i found something out there that i'd like to read to you. it was a site, an archeological site on the colorado plateau,

woman: all the growth and everything that's occurred in southern nevada has been with colorado river water. without it, the west as you know it today couldn't exist. narrator: to sustain their growing community with its limited supply, las vegas learned to be extremely efficient. mulroy: this is a desert, and it has its own beauty, but you have to get beyond what you're used to. as long as people recognize they're moving to the desert and give up this notion that they have to bring eastern vegetation with them and make the necessary adaptations in their own life, desert communities can continue to live. man: the biggest water user in the desert is turf. turf uses a lot of irrigation and uses spray irrigation, so what we've done here is use artificial turf. you're never going to be able to achieve the look of back east or the look of, say, california, with subtropical plants, but our landscapes are still lush and use about 30% of what the subtropical landscape with turf would use. las vegas has adopted a drought tolerant ordinance. we're using less water today than we used five years

the waste at yucca mountain is 100 miles from the colorado river. the waste from zion is 1,300 feet from lake michigan. i mean it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that yucca mountain is safer than storing high level nuclear waste next to lake michigan. so what is -- what do our senators say? well, senator -- let's start with senator durbin. he's quoted as saying, there are a lot of options out there, but i have supported yucca in the past and i'm not talking away from that. i just think we need to consider other options as well. i want him to obviously continue to consider yucca mountain. senator kirk as said, i think in the end congress needs to fight and win the battle to build the yucca mountain facility so that we can store nuclear waste 1,000 feet below the surface. i agree. senator kohl is quoted as saying, this site on the nevada nuclear test site, that's what people don't know, is that yucca mountain is also the nuclear -- the nevada nuclear testify site. that's where we tested the nuclear bombs during the nuclear arms race and

and 100 miles from the colorado river. so where are these senators from georgia and south carolina? well, senator isakson says we need to retain yucca mountain as our nation's high-level waste repository. what does senator -- he supports. senator chambliss says, we have long advocated that the department of energy immediately halt all actions to dismantle operations at yucca mountain. he supports. senator graham, no one should be required to pay for an empty hole in the nevada desert. the decision by the obama administration to close yucca mountain was ill-advised and leaves our nation without a disposal plan for spent nuclear fuel. or cold war waste. that's what hanford is. cold war nuclear waste from our weapons sector. what does senator demint say? without yucca mountain, america will not have safe and secure place to permanently store nuclear waste and instead waste will pile up at existing reactors. we will continue and i will continue to come down on the floor and go through the nation highlighting, high level nuclear waste all over this country. when the federal law under the

[ horse noises ] cut it out. the kitchen is too dark, i think, but it's an easy fix. just paint the cabinets and you have enough color. there's a sunny dining area with hand-plastered brown walls that should be white. beautiful walls with the wrong color and shuttered colors. the same walls continue into the keeyz living room. there is also a wood deck at the side of the house that's surrounded by beautiful shade trees, and i think it's just about the right size for drinks. >> that is gorgeous. now let's get to a beautiful part of the country, belleview, washington. a four-bedroom home priced at $338,000. >> and what's interesting about this home, it's the beach cabin on

river. it's going to be very difficult and dangerous to be in that area. this is like when i watched -- when they took the colorado and opened up the flood gates down below the hoover dam to make a potential flood, it was a natural flood happening because of the dam but they opened it up and put billions of gallons of water down river, this looks like it. now they can't close this back up. this is done. >> all right. and there we have it. the condit dam explosion. >> the top stayed like it was supposed to. >> yes. >> completely successful. >> thank you, chad, for that. >>> let's pick up where we left off. barbara starr at the pentagon. you're learning how american commanders are fighting the taliban with social media. is this a flu technique? >> well, it's really been evolving over the last few months. this comes from charlie who started looking into all of this. when we noticed that the international security systems force in afghanistan was twittering and their goal was to twitter against the taliban who had been using a lot of social media for some time. what we saw was every time the taliban would twitter, sud

i remember as a kid growing up in colorado we had to trick-or-treat in the snow some nights on halloween. jenna: "cry me a river jon: it's true. jenna: you loved it. it was great. jon: it was cold. milky ways were frozen by the time you got hem home. winner is on winter is on its way continues the drought in the south. brutal cold snowy winter in the midwest. if conditions are right we could see above average snow in the northeast. there is somebody to blame and we're not talking about meteorologist janice dean. we're talking about, la nina. >> la nina. i'm from canada where they make halloween costume as size bigger because they have to fit over snow suits. jon: i have to put the parka, right. >> right. don't blame me for this forecast, jon scott. we have la nina last year. this doesn't pre dike the snow or the amount of snow we could see in the northeast or mid-atlantic all the big cities. don't blame that on me. this is sort of a driver of climate if you will a quick lesson on la nina. periodic cooling of ocean water in the tropical pacific that affects our weather worldwide. it returned in august. it is exp

and rivers overflowing their banks, the flood versus drenched one third of the country's provinces and killed nearly 400 people thus far. jenna: back closer to home we're going to turn to colorado. is it okay that i read this? >> jon: i love colorado. jenna: he has a for the of feelings about colorado because these his home statement an early storm blasting the state with its first snoal of the season. not enough to ski, right jon? >> jon: i know people, my buddy, olsten, skiing several times already. jenna: the storms did cause power outages for thousands of people and caused a foot of snow in some areas. as you mentioned, it did snap some power lines, a lot of the tree branches, still heavy with leaves. sixty homes in the dark because of that. in greelly, snow knocked down several tree limb there is and in evergreen, one truck slid off the road. the same storm brought snow to utah and wyoming. the question is, will it bring it to new york city. jon: we'll see. hope not. a fox news alert out of mexico, as rina is just downgraded to a tropical storm, but taking aim at the carribean coastline. tourists and residents are packing up in can coond other resorts. what about the u.s.?
