healing can begin and as a steady stream of mourners continue to come to this central church and slidell to show their support it is clear that this is not just about an accident or a plane crash but it's about the loss of a team and something very important to a community that they will remember forever. thomas or take a look at it was also an international team and the grief is being shared throughout europe hundreds gathered in the center of the czech capital prague to remember the last players chanting their names and lighting candles in their memory three czech nationals world war all former world champions or talk track ice hockey official and former national team coach starting it. was incredible. because it's hard even to talk about we've lost players in their prime but with the hard core of the national team i knew them very well even though they were playing abroad still we were always trying to get better. and it just would be part of a system we want to know the details of their positions and how to get school it's a huge interest in what they did and i really enjoyed working

carrying a three time champion russian ice hockey team has crashed near the runway in the town of slidell two hundred seventy kilometers northeast of moscow and the latest information we're getting is that there are only two survivors among the forty two people who were onboard our correspondent on the sanaa is if you got us level for us so what is the latest details that you have to there for us the bill a just information that i have is actually from the team behind the team's press service which is that they're confirming that are in fact the full team was on board this yacht forty two thirty seven people it's now being said but forty people are confirmed dead twenty six bodies have been found and there were forty two people on board in total like you said two survivors believes we're hearing that one of the survivors and i. flew is a part of the russian national team he is in hospital already and in very critical condition. we don't know who that second survivor is we heard rumors earlier that it could have been a crew member and then that was withdrawn so we're trying to find out who

like we head to lake pontchartrain, slidell, it looks more like a swamp with the flood waters creepingthere, however, the rain is in fact suppose to taper off today. again, it wasn't raining earlier this morning, as lee continues to move inland, that is welcomed news as those pumps continue to work and those flood waters begin to reseed? >> has this has an impact on tourism this holiday weekend? >> well, believe it or not, not much of an impact really at all. that's the fascinating part of this. this morning we interviewed the ceo of tourism and told us typically on the labor day holiday upwards of 250,000 people flock to the big easy and they say that those numbers are, in fact, right on par. lee is not chasing those valuable dollars away. listen: >> economic impact of a weekend like this can run 150, $200 million, so we saw a relatively good amount of tpwheus weekend. we don't have the exact numbers yet. that will come in time. but i think if you look around, the city was very busy. >> reporter: hotel occupancy rates are right where they should be, we understand, businesses remained

slidell looking great. the city at 72. sonoma almost making it 290. lots of sunshine and stores.ithout temperatures even a few additional degrees and then start to cool down a little bit as we see actually an area of low pressure coming in from the pacific northwest. the rest of the week looks pretty good. nice warm temperatures around the bay and great conditions for those participating in the swim today. this is one not a mile swimming from angel island to tiburon. you couldn't ask for better read. get outside and enjoy. although, it might be a little chilly in the water. back to you. >> thank you, christy. >> another federal federal agency investing the east they dream girl. the man behind the report does but this morning. thank you for coming in. >> it's good to be here. >> offers question is, what are the feds looking at now question like. >> either the energy department was already looking into whether or not they broke the terms of the loans are you that with a $535 million loan that the federal government gave them. the fbi is rating their offices and has interviewed the

slidell city, about eight inches there. and pascagoula has had about three inches of rainfall. let's talk about where this is going because timing is everything. we've got a cold front that's in the midwest, and those two are going to try and hook up. we think this isn't strong enough that we could see lee kind of maintain its identity in here and get cut off from the main circulation. so that's more of a concern as we head into northeastern parts of the country because we've already got flash flood watches in effect there across parts of upstate new york and also into vermont. if we get too much rain in there from the next cold front, a good one to three inches, if you throw moisture in from lee, it's really bad news for those folks still on high alert in the northeast after that storm went through. we also have katia, okay. katia's out here. it's now a tropical storm. 70 mile-per-hour winds, and believe it or not, some of the models are intertwining katia with the remnants of lee. we're going to have to keep a close eye on that thing. the good news, it's been weaker than what

. >> reporter: flooding in slidell stalled cars and forced people to row and walk to safety. >> normallye don't get this. >> reporter: in alabama, people are cleaning up from possible tornadoes spun off from lee. trees were uprooted. homes crushed. >> it sounded like a run away freight train going right through. >> reporter: the storm is expected to move out of the gulf coast monday. and head north. forecasters say the biggest concern is flash flooding, and more tornadoes. drew levinson, cbs news. >>> and of course, we've got katia out there in the atlantic, but it looks like it is going to stay away from the east coast. so that is good news. hey, folks, here in the bay area, kind of a quiet start to the labor day and temperatures in the bay area right now, running mainly in the 50s outside. we have clouds along the coastline, inside the bay, and partly cloudy skies right now. and into the interior valleys. now, as we head throughout the day, it looks like the clouds will begin to pull back just a bit. and still, heading into the high country, monsoonal moisture up there and watch out fo

carrolton, slidell city.e have flood watches in effect and tornado watches through the night tonight. they could spread northward. still a big mess, a lot to deal with. this is sticking around, staying in the forecast probably for a good week before we can kiss it good-bye. >> not a good thing, considering labor day weekend, a lot of people will be traveling home tomorrow, trying to. we are looking at delays? >> lots of delays. coming up in about 30 minutes, we will have the labor day forecast, talk about the cool down and what to expect for travel delays. >> busy day for you. thank you. appreciate it. >>> a tropical storm warning as she mentioned is in effect from intercoastal louisiana to did he say continue, florida. reynolds wolf is near the eastern edge of the storm, you can see the flag behind him. it is tempting, i am sure, for people there wanting to take a swim for labor day. officials say don't do it, it is dangerous. >> reporter: absolutely. one of the reasons they came here is the pristine beaches

in its wake lee's rains left areas of slidell, louisiana, looking more like a lake. >> you look herelooded. you've got people walking in it, boats, everything lack here. >> never seen water coming up that high. people are wading through up to their knees. >> reporter: before it was downgraded, lee produced almost 20 tornados over the weekend in several gulf coast states. >> feels almost like katrina again, not just as bad. it's kind of scary. it's a shock. >> reporter: after dumping more than a foot of rain here in new orleans, what's left of tropical storm lee is now heading north to areas already saturated after tropical storm irene. president obama has declared states of emergency in rhode island, massachusetts, pennsylvania, and virginia, freeing up federal resources for recovery efforts from irene. and he got a firsthand look at the damage the storm did in new jersey. >> i want to make it very clear that we are going to meet our federal obligations. >> reporter: with billions in damage from lee and irene, the last thingnghe country needs now is another storm. but hurricane katia

this is from slidell, louisiana just north of new orleans.is subdivision flooded out with anywhere between two and four feet of water, turning streets into rivers. some people using kayaks to reach their homes. >> i've never seen water come up that high. >> almost like katrina again but not as bad, scary, a shock. >> heather: scary if you lived through that learning about wind and possible tornado damage along the gulf coast. casey stegall is live in new orleans. what challenges are they facing there now? >> reporter: heather right now 17,000 people are still without power across parts of southern louisiana. as you were seeing from those pictures, as we've been talking about for several days, the region was inundated with water. believe it or not, not as much rain fell as forcasters initially thought this system would drop. when lee made landfall early yesterday morning it went more to the east of us, the worst parts went east of the big easy. there is still very much a growing concern about flooding problems in plaquemines parish. >> that is

understand bulldozers worked to get that catch up on and on the north side of lake pontchartrain, folks in slidell, louisiana paddled their way around in canoes. everyone has their eye on the sky, waiting for the rain to taper off as the relate naves of this storm now move inlawn and the moisture is supposed to stop falling. it is important to point out that most of the water you do see in the areas, kelly, from that video is not from levy breaches. there are no reports of any serious breaches with this storm. it is just from all of the precipitation that fell from the sky on an already saturated region. no doubt they are looking and hoping that this thing will wraup up so they can begin to dry out. >> i'm glad you made mention of the fact that these are not from levy breach, because those liveys a you know were actually given a bad grade, but this isn't a wind effect, this is actually rain, and as jamie was talking about, there's been a deluge of water there, just a lingering and the hoffing of this rain. so has lee kept labor day travelers away after all of these warnings? >> well, not according
