the midwest. tornado touch do you think just moments ago near st. james, minnesota, which is a city about 100 miles southwest of minneapolis/st. paul. meanwhile, more tornadoes are expected to strike in the midwest. tonight we begin our coverage with chad myers. and chad, where is the biggest threat right now, as these pictures start to come in. the storms look so severe. >> really close to shakopee in the eden prairie, minnesota. even though 35 to 40 minutes away, the storm is still a very stout storm. and erin, what we don't like about this storm that it's all by itself. we would love to see a big line of weather with all these storms fighting each other for power. but this is the powerful storm, and it is still moving up towards the northeast at about 30 to 35 miles per hour. so shakopee, eden prairie here, you would be the first suburbs to witness this. and maybe even toward bloomington as it moves up toward minneapolis. whether you get a tornado with this storm or not, minneapolis/st. paul, you are going to see wind. you're going see hail damage probably with this. get the cars, the pets, the kids inside. you have about 30 minut

the ground in st. james, minnesota. that's about 120 miles southwest of minneapolis. ngly, no injuries have been reported, but there has been damage in some midwestern communities as tornadoes reported throughout the day on thursday. >> that same storm system drenching northern texas. these pictures are from dallas. some areas got more than 5 inches of rain, and the winds blowing it sideways in some cases. and that wind was so intense, it destroyed this mobile home. it's about 50 miles from ft. worth. residents say this storm had them on edge. >> all of a sudden, i heard this whoo, whoo, whoo! then i just seen trees just out of control and then poles coming out of the ground. >> in oklahoma city, take a look at this. those are people out driving in areas they probably should not have been driving as the rain piled up on the roads. thousands lost power at the height of the storm. >> all right, indra petersons is here. what can we expect today and for the weekend, indra? >> more travel woes. yesterday, dallas-ft. worth had a ground stop thanks to severe weather, and we'r

the upper st. anthony falls lock in minneapolis. my lock closure provision included in the water resources development act conference report will simply require the army corps to close the upper st. anthony falls lock within one year following the date of enactment. the language is a product of years of working with state and local stakeholders, and today with the passage of this provision, we will take a significant step forward in the fight against invasive species to make sure they don't move up into minnesota's northern lakes. this provision has the support of senator franken and also representatives ellison, paulson, walls and nolan in the house. it was bipartisan. it was supported by governor dayton and the city of minneapolis as well as a large number of environmental and wildlife organizations, including minnesota's trout unlimited, the national wildlife federation, the mississippi river fund, the minnesota izaak walton league, the national parks conservation association and the friends of the mississippi river, just to name

the northeast. >> so what does that mean, chad? what does that mean? where is it going? is it going toward minneapolis/st. paul? >> it is, wolf, but we're hours, or at least an hour away from that. the cell is all by itself. it is that super cell using all of the energy, not battling any other storms. remember the game battling tops when we were kids. if you pulled one string and let the one battling top go, it would go forever. pull a bunch of them, they'd battle each other and fall down. this is battling nothing. this is going to move up toward the north and northeast, about 100 miles, maybe a little less now into minneapolis suburbs. it will be from the southwest first. we'll keep an eye on it as it makes its way that way. there's nothing at this point to stop it. there you go. probably 48 miles, moving at 30, 35 miles per hour. do the math, that's at least an hour out, wolf. >> all right. we'll stay on top of this story for our viewers obviously. tim purington, be careful over there, one of the storm chasers in the middle of all of that. chad, we'll stay in touch with you. >>> we're following new development

the upper st. anthony falls long and dam in minneapolis, my hometown. this would stop the spread of invasive carp, which causes harm. it decimates the fishing industry and wipes out native fish species and when a 60-pound silver carp jumps out of the water, needless to say, it limits recreational opportunities and causes injury to the people. this was a real picture. fish jumping all out. it's not a good thing. the language provides for an -- for a proactive approach. it protects our vital fishing and recreational industry. it protects jobs in northern minnesota. it prevents us from spending government dollars to manage carp if it invades northern minnesota waters. i want to thank the members of the minnesota delegation to make sure the language was passed. i'd also like to thank a staff member, ann christensen. you were tireless. you never gave up. i'm grateful to you. and i'll yield back. thank you. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. does the gentleman from pennsylvania continue to reserve? mr. shuster: i continue to reserve my time. t
