but the reason why they will linger is entirely the fault lies with the tallahassee police department. because the police department waited ten months before investigating the claim. >> whoa whoa. i'm sorry ten months to investigate the claims? was it brought to their attention and they waited ten months? >> ten months. the person who is claiming that she is a survivor of sexual assault she went immediately to tals polictallahassee police ans told according to her and her attorney that she would on inviting a world of trouble for herself if she portrayed these claims against jameis winston and the tallahassee police decided not to investigate her claims for ten months until a newspaper investigated independently her claims. >> how did they respond to the news breaking that there seemed to be some pressure on this victim not to tell her story? >> they are defending the police officer in question and defending their whole process. what they haven't defended and not commenting upon is many members of the tallahassee police department including the investigating officers in the jameis win

from a very rainy tallahassee is mike slidell.the seminoles fans right there and what else do we know about the east coast for the rest of the few days? >> we have a lot of issues and thank goodness it's rain and not snow it. would be a debacle. here in tallahassee and across the panhandle, we have waves of thunderstorms and out of the gulf of mexico. take a look at the radar. i-10 has been hit hard. hammered with heavy rain. not a lot of wind, but as you go further west, woe have parts of four states including parts of louisiana and also mississippi and alabama and just extreme north eastern texas under a watch until 6:00. we had several warnings into louisiana and mississippi. certainly the atmosphere could spit up a few tornados with a lot of rain. a lot of us here under a flash flood watch. dinnertime, we could see four or five inches of rain and heads to the coast. tonight and tomorrow, major delays. tomorrow is going to be a tough day to fly in and out of the eastern seaboard. from atlanta to new york to boston. >> lucky us.

tallahassee up through central georgia. they've had a heck of a time there with upwards of seven inches of hateful on the ground. it has been quite a day, but certainly nothing is as bad as this. columbia, mississippi, and laurel, mississippi, as well. i think the same super cells spawning these tornadoes as they thank you down and race from north and east. the national weather service will be out there to let us know exactly what kind of damage we're talking about. at least a 2 in the fujita scale. 4 1/4 inch hail. florida picks up seven inches occurring in tallahassee as a result of flooding that's under way there. rain pushed off to the north of east. on the backside of it, we have snow that's going to be impacting with chicago. if you're flying anywhere from charlotte all the way up towards boston you're going to likely have delayed. pack your patience. >> hail the size of grapefruit? unbelievable. >> the damage caused would just be extraordinary. always a pleasure, many thanks. >> investors have plenty to celebrate thi

well, we had record rain in tallahassee, they had multiple swift water rescues under way as a resultain. it had never rained this much since we've been keeping records on december 23rd in tallahassee and they picked up 7.4 inches, 189 minimum meters and the hail was coming down, grapefruit side, 11 centimeters, 4 1/4 in louisiana. just an incredible day across the southeastern u.s. so here comes the storm towards the eastern seaboard. it will be impacting with the major cities but as i mentioned as a rain event, as a wind event, the snow will be confined towards the north and west. we have flood watches still in effect across the southeastern u.s. and move up. this will be round two, this will be part of the storm that will be hitting boston here, i think we'll have significant delays especially late if you have an early flight getting out of boston, you'll be in better shape than later in the afternoon because that's when i think condition also turn for the worse and, of course, on the back side of the storm, cold air, it will be snowing 3 to 5 inches accumulation so winter storm wa

record torrential rains hit tallahassee, florida, today.hat weather system is already impacting air travel. joining me now is wnbc meteorologist. steven? >> good evening, lawrence. a big storm, a scary night across lots of parts of the south here. here are thunderstorms moving through eastern areas of alabama, western georgia, luckily the line has weakened a lot, but earlier on this evening as it tore though areas of mississippi and louisiana you saw lots of damage. 14 reports of tornadoes today. 11 were in mississippi. there's the line right now, good news for those folks. they can relax now. the threat for severe weather is over. but that threat is moving to the east. we have stronger storms now moving through western areas of georgia. the line is weakening, though. good news there, but we will still see the elements of heavy rain through this storm system. it encompasses through texas and northern new england. the storm has many faces to it. we saw the severe weather threat for today. it will involve more into a heavy rain threat atlanta

really didn't know where he was going, whether he was headed east towards charleston, south to tallahassee, southwest to mobile. it turns out he went southeast to savannah, and it is not surprising that the confederates didn't know because even the federal planners did not know, and their logisticians had supplied positions all along the coast that wherever sherman struck at blue water he could be resupplied. once sherman made his march and captured savannah on december 21, the confederates were still not sure what he was going to do next, and they positioned their forces all around him to include south of savannah to guard against the danger that he might march against thomasville, the railhead in southern georgia, or to liberate andersonville, or perhaps to threaten tallahassee. it really wasn't until he moved north through the carolinas that it became clear to the confederates in richmond how dire was their peril. i don't think lee or anyone else foresaw that danger as early as any point in 1864, and that he is continuing to do his duty to bravely and honorably uphold the struggle. othe

in fact, never rained this much on december 23rd in tallahassee over 7 inches of rainfall falling at a very short amount of time so that resulted in dramatic rescues that were underway across the i-10 corridor. that's what happened in tallahassee then in louisiana and not only with the tornadoes but also hail coming down, 4 1/4 inches, size of a grapefruit, incredible scenes in louisiana, but that at this point is done as we push the storm further to the east and then we'll get into the big cities here now getting in on the heavy rain and very gusty winds. the anticipation of flooding is there so we have the flood watches in effect, the red you see here still seeing some flash flood warnings, that means flooding is occurring and is imminent in those areas and then we have the northeast which will see the storm here as it moves in today with heavy rain and very gusty winds. there will be some snow added. not on the east but on the back side so chicago will be in on some 3 to 5-inch totals perhaps as we talk about snowfall there. certainly something they can handle and also across port

in fact, the region going from louisiana into mississippi and alabama, even into the tallahassee portionf florida, you are looking at the possibility of some severe weather. so look out for that. thunderstorms will extend as far east as the carolinas as we go throughout our monday. and then further up toward the north is where we'll see a chance for some snowfall into parts of new england, also into the upper midwest, and then into the upper rockies we'll see a chance for some snowfall. 4 in denver. 2 in winnipeg. rain in seattle and we're seeing that rain extending from chicago all the way into new york and way down into atlanta. now, as we go through the week, christmas is coming very soon and austin you will see some sunny skies by wednesday into thursday. highs in the upper teens. and in newport beach, the weather very appropriate for the christmas boat parade, sunny skies, highs will be relatively warm as we go throughout the next few days. now, in europe, a very wet weather scenario for the northern areas. we have a couple of low pressure systems that's going to really whip up the
