medical screening is available to all paducah workers so that they may be tested and treated for any illness they contract as a result of working at the plant. >> and rightfully so. and that bill cost more than what the 9/11 first responders are asking for, more. so this clearly isn't about mitch mcconnell's objections to permanent healthcare programs for heroic workers. >> trevor: so the question is what is it? >> here's what i believe it is -- senator niche niche -- seh mcconnell doesn't give a (bleep) about anything but politics. the first responders of the act were told it would be included in the transportation bill passed last week. mitch mcconnell of kentucky pulled it out of the transportation bill when he didn't get concessions about loosening oil export regulations. >> trevor: so he used the health of 9/11 first responders as a bargaining chip to make it easier to sell oil? >> yes, trevor. he's not nice! (laughter) so i don't know what else to do to make sure this bill happens. we don't know what else to do! >> trevor: well, you know, jon, back in 2010, didn't this very sho

severe threat will go from san antonio up to paducah, cincinnati and down towards new orleans. storm prediction center has expanded this in just the last 15 minutes. so they have now wideened out the area that they are talking for the higher risks. so now we're including people we weren't an hour ago. definitely folks if you have any travel plans you saw in that zone, be careful, be patient and pay close attention to the weather. we have warm temperatures out ahead of it. 70 in little rock, 74 in lake charles, much colder out west. 20 degrees right now in amarillo, texas. when that system pushes through now we'll talk about the winter storm and guys we're talking about 18 inches of snow, a lot of ice also into parts of oklahoma and is this same system that will push into the northeast for monday and tuesday. folks waiting an extra day or two to go home in the northeast you will be contending with the same system. >> one destructive storm. it isn't finished yet. we want to bring this video to our viewer's attention now because it's the first time we're getting a glimpse of the s

that was in paducah, kentucky. it occurred 18 years old yesterday. not today, but he is in prison and these numbers from the centers for disease control put this into perspective. the number of violent gun deaths between 2005 and 2013, according to the cdc, 279,000 in the united states, 279,000, and in the united states so far this year, 375 victims of gun violence in terms of mass shootings. that puts it in context, the total number of individuals that we're looking at right now, lester. >> this taking place at the inland regional center in san bernardino. we have on the phone with us now patrick simpson. his daughter is an intern at that facility. and we understand that she is still hidden inside and is texting you and before we continue with this conversation, we don't want to do anything that puts her in jeopardy but can you characterize what you are hearing from your daughter and is she okay? >> she seems to be okay. she hasn't texted within probably the last 15, 20 minutes. i talk to her on the phone about an hour, maybe an hour and a half ago.

then pushing off to the east tomorrow from shreveport up through paducah and maybe chicago. no jackets required here. i'm breaking a sweat, dan and paula. hopefully, i can come back in the studio where the air conditioning is on. unreal. >> sara speaks bird. what the birds are say, what is heck is going on marciano? >> lots of profound stuff going on in the bird speak. >> they are confused. no doubt about it. >> bet back in here. we'll see you in a couple of minutes. >>> new developments in the california terror attack. investigators are searching for the killer's missing hard drive. divers pulled objects from a lake that's been at the center of the serge. this is all about trying to understand more about the motives of these husband and wife killers. and who, if anyone, may have been helping them. >> reporter: this morning, after two days of searching, fbi investigators are focusing on hard drive missing from syed farook's home computer, which may contain a trove of evidence about how the san bernardino terror attack was planned and carried out. >> we're searching for any e

louis area going to see a lot of flooding, but in places like paducah, memphis, little rock and even downstream. we're really going to be watching it closely the next week, week and a half. these aerials right now, the water rescue, you can't stress enough don't drive. that is the most simple thing you can do to protect your life. just don't drive. >> no question. thank you so much. and what you are looking at right now. those are live images out of eureka missouri. you have a fire truck extended trying to rescue a driver out of a nearly completely submerged pickup truck. again this is happening live. we're watching it unfold with you. the governor, jay nixon, there saying most of the deaths they have seen have been people that have driven into these flood waters. they are moving so quickly. it is unclear where they might across the road. stay out of your vehicles if you can. >>> if you open the "wall street journal" this morning, this certainly caught you eye. a major report that the nsa reported by took came at israel and captured conversations involving lawmakers, focusing on benj

genevieve, and down to cape girardo and paducah, kentuck, and maybe south of that. >> and knew, i want to show you where there are two areas here dealing with the brunt of this, right, tom? >> yes, this is where the missouri river and the merrimack river which are good-sized rivers are all starting to come together to meet the mississippi. again, it is not anything like 1993 where they have built up the levees, and it is quite populated even though it flooded thousands of homes in 1993, it was total devastation, but it is something, and i should bring it up, because it is interesting what is going on around the globe right now. el nino, the warming of the pacific waters has reached a peak, but it takes a while for the pattern to change around the world. what we are seeing here in the st. louis, and the illinois areas is occurring in the areas of york, manchester, and leeds and cambria in england, and also, in paraguay, they have had mudslides, and then also the bush fires in australia just like we have been seeing in california. now it has reached the peak in the el nino, and it is so

today is the 18th anniversary of that high school shooting paducah, kentucky. in that particular case, 14-year-old, as you may recall, killed three suspects, injured five, he went to prison. he's now 32 years old. >> tom costello. back to the scene, miguel almaguer, more news? >> yeah. we know that the s.w.a.t. team had. here for some time. a heavy presence from the bomb squad. we saw three bomb squad technicians and three different vehicles roll past us at a very high speed. certainly trying to get to the crime scene here. we heard reports that it's possible suspects may have left some type of explosive devices in the building. police taking that very seriously as those officers move in. >> that jives with what we heard from a police lieutenant intervowed a while ago. he said they are looking for secondary devices, which i'm not sure terminology, referring to found other devices. but nonetheless, got to look for anything suspicious. that is standard protocol in these sorts of situations. we are all of course anxious to hear about injured, about casualties, whe

we are looking for the crest to stay below the record tomorrow, and now, if you will see in paducah, kentucky, and cape girardeau, the all-time record will be broken, and we will follow it from vicksburg to new orleans possibly. juan more no -- one more note here. the records are stay put from the st. louis northward and yes, flood iing out from st. louis t st. charles and st. peters where they closed down i-70, but west of pacific, they have shut down i-44 and extended it to 270 which is a mario thoreauway and disappoint. and the way it snakes north is where the up to of eureka is, and that is why they are completely cut off and not only one treatment plant, but two water waste treatment plants have been submerged. past fenton at the meramec, it is going to be hitting arnold which is flooding as well. then the record crest south of st. louis when you fet to chest, and historic ste. genevieve and this is the river right here at st. louis where the record of 41.9 is going to be true, but on the meramec, and this is unprecedented, brianna, and we have never seen it before and that is w

to the southeast, where we do have thunderstorms rolling through little rock, into memphis, into paducah, kentucky. this is the last thing we need. we've had so much rain, several inches on the ground. and unfortunately, there is more rain in the forecast. you can also see these storms contain frequent lightning strikes. something to keep in mind. flood warnings continue for alabama. the governor declared a state of emergency for all counties in alabama due to flooding, and look at the flood threat now into st. louis, springfield, even down to dallas, where we could see severe weather brewing. plenty of rain coming through over the next 24 hours. dara, i'll talk more about the snowstorm in just a bit. >> bonnie, thanks so much. >>> well, now to politics and christmas tidings. president obama and the first lady continue their annual tradition of visiting the marine corps base in hawaii as part of their thanks to all military service members. >> we never take for granted what all of you do for the american people. you help keep us free, you help keep us strong, and whatever service you're

not only here but we will see flooding in places like paducah, places like little rock, even memphisuring the next week or so. st. louis has had the rainiest year on record. they have received about 61 inches of rain this year. normally they only receive 40. they're about 21 inches above that. they received 11 of those inches in december alone. and so you can see all of this water, too much water to handle, flows into the streams, into the rivers, several major rivers flow, of course, into the mississippi where it meets up near here and all of this water is going to flow downstream. this is different from the 1993 floods that happened during the summer months. it was due to the snow melt as well as a lot of rain. this is happening completely different time of year. everyone here does remember those '93 floods. just as the governor was saying, this is going to rival that. it's scary, michaela for the people around st. louis. >> it certainly is. they are in for a flood fight as governor nixon just said. jennifer, thank you. joining us right now, though, st. louis district engineer from

but you'll have severe weather anywhere from san antonio up to paducah down into new orleans today and is where our target area is going to be. it's a huge differences. look at the warm out ahead of the front. 74 in shreveport and 33 in wichita falls. that is how strong this storm is. we have flood watches out ahead of this system. likely to get some tornado watches out ahead of this testimony as we go through the morning. then we have all of our winter watches and warning, including blizzard warnings for parts of texas and oklahoma where we can expect up to 15 to 20 inches of snow. that is once the system moves through. texas dealing with the tornadoes and severe weather on the front end and then they will be dealing with the snow and even some ice on the back end. it's got a little bit of some going through for texas the next couple of days and then that system pushes into the northeast monday and tuesday. >> we got a few viewers watching in east texas right now, so if you're listening to allison, you'll want to hunker down. severe weather expected there the next few hours. allison,

paducah, kentucky, there is frequent lightning, and the same in fort smith, arkansas.e wide threat of the storms from indianapolis to dallas. dangerous conditions, because there is so much rain straight through monday and tuesday. st. louis for example, 5 to 7 inches through monday, and you will see the breaks in the action, but don't try to drive on any road covered with water, because you don't know how deep it is, and the national weather service says, this is a quote, very serious flood event, and life tlenting flooding is likely, so i don't know how to be more direct than that. and dangerous here, where you could see up a to a foot of water to the east of tulsa, oklahoma, and although, tulsa is likely to be slammed with rain as is dallas, texas, because the forecast from the national storm center is for severe weather in the southern plains today. so that means that we are doing to be running a risk of tornadoes, and not like we had down there in the south, but fors that, with the groundch is rated with the heavy rain from the fall, and anymore precipitation will

intermittent rain for today, the national weather service describes this as widespread dangerous flooding, paducah through indiana impacted by the flood so long it will be a long event. going over the next 24 hours you can see i talked about st. louis getting about three more inches of rain. look what's happening in eastern oklahoma, where we could see six to eight inches or more, ten inches in some localized areas, so this is a really widespread dangerous situation for texas, oklahoma, missouri, and really all the way up through the region where we have that flood threat. let's talk about the wintry weather that we're experiencing because this is new this morning. we now have an ice storm warning just to the west of oklahoma city, so not necessarily for the city itself but we are seeing icy conditions. cumulating ice on trees, on power lines, likely to continue to cause power outages throughout the day, plus the blizzard warning persists. yesterday i was talking about the potential for ten feet snow drifts, hard to imagine, but believe it or not, early this morning, we've had reports of eight foo
