they came to shore bringing in devastating storm surgeries. at a time may lead to landslides in the southern part of the nation. nearly 24 hours after landfall phailin, we are dealing with the impacts of the season. rim ants heading off to the north and we still have lots of moisture left behind. so the rain discontinue. we will continue to see this moisture kind of lingering over the next 24 to 36 hours. that will lead to more rain as well as the flooding potential in this area. of course, the clean-up continues where thing. of course, a lot of trees and power outages, trees down, rather, and power outages here across the area, so we are still going to be dealing with some devastating conditions from this system. now, aside from phailin, other activity, we are tracking tropical psyche low nari, heading into vietnam sometime on monday during the afternoon. >> that's when we are expecting to see landfall here along coastal areas of vietnam. >>> right about behind that, tropical cyclone wippa, an equivalent of a category 4. that will be curve to

flood waters devastated this town one month ago and then the government shutdown the park.he govenor agreed to spend state dollars to open the park here so that means that it will be taxpayers footing the bill. in arizona the grand ca canyon s open. the state agreed to pay $650,000 to keep it open for another week. >> this landmark attracts millions of visitors and i reviews to have government policy deprive tourists to see this magnificent landscape. >> it's money that the state is unlikely to get back. , but that is the bargain that the state is willing to make. the situation is similar in south dakota where the state will spend $15,000 each day to keep mt. rushmore open. here in colorado the tourists are back. the nearest city to rocky mountain national park. it's businesses that are depending on tourism. >> that is the draw for people without the park the park wouldn't be here. >> a month ago flood devastated the area. when i heard of the possibility of the park opening up it was hard to believe. it was too good to be true. >> to re-open the park taxpayers will pay $40,

i think the impact on a small community of this kind of event can be utterly devastating. i saw for myself in the summer and arizona, a very similar forest fire where -- in arizona, a very similar forest fire, where the great challenge is unpredictability, because of the wind. if it changes direction the firefighting teams can get caught -- >> 19 -- >> 19 firefighters, all volunteers, all from a small town like the one where we have just been reporting from the suddenly got caught up because the wind shifted, and they all died. precariousy existence. and it is made possible through the extraordinary goodwill of volunteers. >> a science editor, what i want to ask you, the science behind this. we talk about climate change. you have the prime minister tony abbott saying this had nothing to do with climate change. what do you reckon? bethe jury has to be said to out on this. there is no slamdunk answer you can give -- yes it is climate change him and no, it isn't. australia has always had fires of this type. in a sense, it is just natural. d, one of thehan key ingredients that

and that story can be repeated, but the devastation was real. to drive down the streets of the rockaways or of long beach or of staten island, the south shore of staten island, and seeing house after house just piles in front of the house. not just furniture, although that was a problem. we all have our favorite chair, our favorite place to sit. but people's lives were ripped apart, heirlooms that had been in families for generations, pictures and albums, gone like that. and this is an example of the -- one of the places that was hurt the worst, breezy point. a hearty community. cops, firefighters, teachers, e.m.t. workers, the heart of new york city's middle class, the very same people, and many did from breezy point, who rushed the towers on 9/11, and some lost their lives, were the people who were devastated here. and a fire erupted. 120 houses. it looked like dresden after the bombings in world war ii. and all that left was this religious shrine. i'll never forget that scene and having the local firefighters come show me what had happened. a

it brought devastation and evacuated one million people. the government took precautions and look at the devastation here across the area. the most powerful storm in decades made landfall. several people have been killed. heavy rain in surging seawater destroyed more than 500,000 and $400 million worth of crops. people began returning home on monday to repair their flooded towns. the good news is the area is under recovery. the system is a remnant losing over the northern areas of india. we will likely see flooding across to keep a close eye on this system. in asia, we have this huge system. this is a typhoon and it's large and a strong system knocking on the doors in japan. as it 3450u6s closer, it is already 250 kilometers per hour, even though it looks like it will be decreasing before it makes landfall across the plain. it will be bringing gusty conditions and the wave will be up to about 12 meters high in the islands. it will be up to 12 meters high. anywhere across the area, 6 to 12 meters high. the storm surge will be a huge concern

it's devastation. every day is putting out the latest briefings they're getting about the fallout from this and the one that they put out yesterday was about cdc and the programs that are being cut back. you are looking at salmonella outbreaks. they can't get epa to come test. they say they are shut down. it's only a matter of time before kids get sick. this is -- and the ripple effect of this is only going to get greater. >> shouldn't the media and stories be spending as much time focus on these things eleanor is talking about than what john boehner is saying to the tea party? >> you have to cover both dimensions of the story at the same time. i would say that we had a 21-day government shutdown in 1995 and 1996 and it didn't prevent 1996 from being one of the best years in american history. let's report the problems but let's not inflate them. let's not make it sound like armageddon is happening. when sequestration started, there were lots of stories about how devastating it would be. it would be a n

it was devastating and the process of getting those homes back up it's been difficult. we have to figure out what makes the process work in a faster way so that we can get those individuals back into their homes. we tried to do in new york city an innovative program called "build it back" it was the first time that fema has done it. and there there has been some ks and some folks had better results than others. we have to keep working at this until we get every person back into his or her home. >> people are still recovering from katrina eight years later. so it's a lot of work to be done in a year given how much sandy damaged. now the small businessed azation ha--administration has approved $2.4 billion in lozenges bu loas only dispursed 24% of that. why is that being held up? >> again a lot of it is red tape and paperwork, verifications. i know for example in rock away i had to go to bat tooth and nail to get the loan money for the largest manufacturing company that we have on the peninsula. like madeline chocolate. >> why are you having to do that? the president came

it's andy additional cost on top of a very deep root that's been devastating for families. don't understand how this isn't essential. >> there's a program in massachusetts that just reopened. a head start program that just reopened on monday because of the sequester. >> reporter: that's exactly right. one of the challenges that the program's face and why the sequester has been so whraoeud seen in head start is because it came half way through the year. so the programs that are opening up on october 1st are the programs that are being impacted be i the federal shut down. they are also the programs that are having to the federal government funding cycle having absorbed more of that cut in a short oher time period. they have to take 5% of their overhall funding in a short time period. i was with the director this morning and hearing everything from them is just devastating. they literally open the doors on monday and found out monday afternoon that they may not be able to open the doors. thankfully, they were able to work something out with the state it is a short-term option

it has devastated a part of quebec. it has robbed so many young people of the chance to live their life. >> the explosion was powerful. but what caused it? normally, oil can catch on fire. but it doesn't explode. workers here have to don gas masks. it smells of chemicals. benzene has been discovered on- site. canadian pyrotechnicians say the train's cargo, crude oil, couldn't have caused the huge explosion. it's possible the search for answers lies here. the oil came from north dakota. it was extracted using fracking. that involves forcing oil out of the ground by injecting chemicals and water into it. the shale oil is then loaded onto trains in bakken in north dakota. they then travel to refineries on the east coast. they are like a pipeline on wheels. so, did the by-products of fracking produce the explosion on that train? residents are suing the oil companies. >> many companies have added chemicals to the salt water, like benzene, butane, lead and heavy metals. all toxic chemicals. that leaves traces in the oil and w
