. >>> let's get a check on your weather with nbc meteorologist bill karins -- >> bob costas, look outyeah, right. all right. what's the weather? >> unfortunately, we had another bad tornado or two yesterday. this one was in south dakota, hit a little, small town called wesion i wessington springs and it went right through the town, and this was a pretty strong one. thankfully, a lot of people were in storm shelters. we have no reports of injuries or deaths, but there is a lot of destruction in that town, though. you can see some of the aftermath. when you see pictures like this and you know they've got a long recovery. so, now we've got at least three small farm towns in three days that all look just like this. but as far as this morning goes, flash flooding is really bad this morning in the quad cities, towards dubuque, all the way up to minneapolis. we've got a lot of water problems out there. a lot of highways are closed. and flooding in the days ahead for sioux falls and sioux city does not look pretty. and eventually, the missouri river down towards omaha is going to have some ba

nbc meteorologist bill karins. it seems like we had everything in this summer month. >> june's been -- the only thing we haven't had is a tropical system, which we possibly could. omaha had this amazing scene, too, throughout the weekend. they had thunderstorm complex after thunderstorm complex. that's a sthunset. beautiful enough and then the lightning in the background. there was a fireworks show at the exact same time. they were trying to get it in quickly before the storm rolled into town. made for a beautiful picture. omaha, sioux city, sioux falls, those areas have been clobbered this june. i mentioned the tropics. we are watching -- this is our first area of interest. this hurricane season. it's right next to our backyard just off the coast of florida. just north of the bahamas. it's been a spinning area of low pressure. there's already a weak storm there. it just doesn't have enough thunderstorms with it yet to be classified as a tropical depression or tropical storm arthur. but as we go throughout this wee

partnering with the community members to have the district attorney office and you are lucky to have karin, and a great city attorney, also, to identify the frequent fliers and the returning drug dealers who are returning to the same corners that the district attorney office can flag those and in a disposition, which is negotiating whatever the plea is, if the community mostly wants a stay away order and that is something that i know that the district attorney office has done a great job with and so i think that it sounds like you have all of the component parts to put together something that the community voice is heard in the courtroom and so you can break that cycle to some degree with some of the drug dealers and i think that we have had success in that and i urge you to connect with karin and the district attorney in the office. thank you for taking the time and if you have your family it is clear how much your community matters to you. >> what you are talking about is maybe at that border, that maybe doing like a special operation? >> right. so if we will pair off them and yes. >> th

they were driving towards one of the city's military bases they were in a cortege followed by abbas karine the mothers of ukrainian conscripts we know a little information about the exact mission of these women but most likely they wanted to talk to put in military controlling the base and negotiate over this song and would guess that this is what the report of the journalists who are working on was supposed to be about and there were also another car there carrying journalists from russia's life news the very media whose. reporters her had been earlier i rested in kiev charged with terrorism and later following tough negotiations released and they corresponded over life has been reporting from the scene that the shooting started very unexpectedly and the quarter was targeted to and the firing started at the moment when the cause were approaching the military base it is very hard to say at this moment exactly why the firing started and to who exactly was shooting but again live news correspondent reports that it was done by military officers by miniature by ukrainian military life news cor

. >> good afternoon, my name is karine wood and i was an opponent on prop b on the last ballot and i support this change because it was extremely frustrating and absolutely -- i don't know -- we couldn't believe that the actual supporters of the measures were trying to make the official argument against the measure, and it just wasn't fair, and having legislation, if that's what we need to stop this kind of trickery, i think is very useful. thank you. >> okay. any other public comments on this item? >> good afternoon, i'm peter, executive director of library's user association and i didn't come here to speak on this and i'm not familiar with the legislation, but as i described, it's an important matter how a ballot book is composed. i think it's extremely important issue. as someone who have provided a number of ballot arguments and paid, official, the importance of who gets to say what and where i think is very, very significant and needs to be studied and dealt with very carefully. with respect to item 1 that was described, in terms of the two elements, having to square the person

we'll explain why the change in policy. >>> first, bill karins. good morning, everyone. we are watching rain this morning through new england. thunderstorms in the big cities this evening. yesterday it was indiana that dealt with the bad storms. right near indianapolis too. plainfield, they had a tornado go through. it was really one of the only tornados of the day yesterday, but it did knock into this houses. it was an ef-1, on the low end scale. it did a lot of significant damage there through plainfield. also the flooding in minnesota continues. it's a slow, slow process for all that water in the mississippi to slowly head out of the region, but most of the damage has already been done. so let's take you to today's concerns. we have the rain already heading all the way from northern ohio right back through western new york. we're continuing to watch the rain in northern new england. eventually this will form into some thunderstorms this afternoon. a little fog around new york city and philly. 30-minute delays at the philly airport. so far so go

bill karins, maybe. if the ash falls below, i don't know. i guess they want to be gone of it. >> the house fell down toward the lake, cleanup at the lake, which is expensive. either way, bad for the environment. imagine that was your home. >> i don't want to. >> pretty sad. >>> let's talk about the west. we had rain to talk about for the first time in june. two weeks without a rain system like this. not pouring, but we have some light rain coming down through the puget sound. that should go from north to south, circulating behind the storm system. so i-5 is a wet drive from seattle to tacoma. as for as additional rainfall, not a lot. we will see some and the showers are in the forecast for olympia down to portland today and even there in spokane. the rest of the west remains dry. we're going to cool it off with this system moving through the west. that's good for father as day weekend. forecast for today, in the 60s with clouds and showers in the northwest. california, you're looking fine in the coastal areas. trying to burn off some morning

we're going to check with bill karins on the facts about a full moon coming up. want to make sure that's correct. let's get to the top story this is morning. can you tell it's friday? in many ways, there r no longer separate conflicts in iraq and syria but one sweeping insurgency ripping through the region. the group at the center of the fighting is taking aim at baghdad. the government is struggling to keep the country together. thousands of shiite civilians are pledging to fight back against sunni militants setting the stage for a civil war split along religious lines. shiite volunteers would fill the vacuum left by the iraqi armed forces, many of whom dropped their u waep weps and the scattered. several soldiers are wearing street clothes to make for a quick escape. in the cities overrun, the militants have banned cigarettes and alcohol and ordered women to stay indoors. they are threatening to kill anyone who doesn't renounce the government. iraq is sending in reenforcements to battle the extremists. it's a serious crisis for the obama administration, which i

bill karins -- >> the study has some holes in it, though. like one of the things they did, they took post steps into the study, electriciocutions after storm or carbon monoxide that has nothing to do with the storm. there are some holes in it. the heat yesterday, extremely hot in the desert southwest. 110 in phoenix. i know we had record highs in tucson. vegas was at 102. we were hot where we thought it would be, and it continues this morning. we're still very warm in those areas. at least down to the 70s in vegas. going to feel like 109 to 111 from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., excessive heat warning in effect. this has been extended through thursday for southern arizona. so this heat is not going anywhere, going away anytime soon. also, the middle of the country, one big headline late tonight and in early tomorrow morning. it is a severe weather outbreak. nebraska, iowa, northern kansas, this is the problem area. so, you know, the heat is one thing. the heat can be deadly. we don't have to deal with tornados in the west. at least there's that.

bill karins is here with more on the storms. that's incredible. i have no idea how strong the wind has to be to pick something up. >> like a chain off the back -- >> so maybe it got caught. >> something else was attached to it that went airborne and it literally is hanging. regardless, it is an incredible feat of strength. this was a big wind event. we call it a derecho, a weather word that describes a long lasting thunderstorm, has to go 250 miles and cause widespread wind damage. this was a huge one. went 1,000 miles, all of those blue dots show you where we had wind damage reports from kansas all the way to northern georgia. in the west, another warm day yesterday. little cooler for the coastal sections as has been the case of late. it doesn't look like we're going to see much in the way of any changes. so far this june, we haven't had a drop of rain in any of the major cities anywhere. five dry days in a row, make it six today. even when the pacific northwest is looking this dry, it is kind of -- at least get some showers every now and then, e

bill karins has your thursday forecast. talking about the winds there, huge freight train and then cars. granted they were empty, but still. >> yeah, you think how heavy they are. they have wide sides, you know, a lot of surface area for the wins to push up against and it happens a couple of times every year. it is still incredible just to picture the force and power. kansas is at it again this morning. wichita, kansas. this is what you wake up to. a severe thunderstorm with 60 to 80-mile-per-hour winds and ping-pong ball sized hail right over the top of you. so this complex in kansas has been moving across the state, and it looks like it is headed for eastern kansas shortly. severe weather today, if we have tornadoes, really bad storms, we have storms this morning, that storm complex will dive all the way down to the mississippi and alabama later on today. as far as the west is concerned, hot day yesterday from north texas to southern new mexico all the way through southern arizona. just continues. and it looks like it wil
