more than 1,200 unaccounted for. one member of the national 2k3w5rd says it's the most people rescued by helicopter since hurricane ka try fa. the struggles continue. 16 rescue helicopters remain grounded because the storms won't let up. george howl begins our coverage live from longmont, california. good morning, george. >> reporter: chris, take a look at the. this is what people are make waking up here in colorado after more rain sent rivers and streams rushing again, cut off more communities and brought rescue operations to a temporary standstill. at least four counties in colorado qualify for disaster relief and they'll get that help today as fema moves into the hardest hit areas. the floodings so widespread officials haven't begun to estimate the full extent of the damage. over the weekend, president obama declaring a major disaster while his state's governor touring the devastation, his helicopter rescuing seven people. >> we will rebuild better than it was before. >> reporter: but mother nature isn't helping r

more than 1,200 unaccounted for. still, so many areas rescuers haven't reached, couldn't because the choppers were grounded by rain today. >> the question i had is, how can we ever recover from this? and i know exactly, inch by inch, mile by mile, community by community, they're taking this stuff back. >> reporter: the national guard rescued 1,700 in all. some of the rescues, beyond human. this horse floated to safety. longmont shelters full of evacuees, including tim hess, caught in it all. >> i was up to 4 1/2 feet of water and got pinned at a light post. >> just extraordinary. four feet of water. ginger back with us live. ginger, we know the rescues were halted today because of the continuing rain. >> reporter: right. and it's still sprinkling here but it has gotten lighter and it will. let me show you the numbers. a half inch to one inch in colorado springs in that purple. the flood watches and warnings are still in place. the rivers still very high. as they converge, that's what we worry about going through tomo

as we mentioned 80 people still unaccounted for this evening. you got to think of the vast breadth and depth of this storm. it can impacted people as north as fort collins and south as colorado springs. the sheriff said we are not out of the woods yet. incredible video of people stranded cars, stranded animals getting out of the deep water. these floodwaters are yet epic. the national weather service said that the floodwaters could get a little bit worse when little thompson and the south platt converge. they have taken out bridges and roads and again pushed cars completely down out of the community. so john it's going to be a long time before people can actually get their minds wrapped around and be able to assess the damage here and even figure out the cost. it could be weeks maybe even a couple of months, john. >> all right, tamera banks reporting, in colorado, tamera, thank you. >> the heaviest rain showers have been primarily in new mexico, and we have still some showers in eastern colorado where overnight tonight the temperatures dip down

behave approximately 350 people that are still unaccounted for this morning. six people now believed hisave died in this tore flooding. and again, the rain coming down. the ceiling has dropped here, dale, this is not a good situation. they had hoped to get 24 there 20 used those helicopters to get to the people that are trapped. but again, as you can see this rain coming down, and it is predicted much to last all day long. >> jim, how do you rescue people you don't even know exist, officially? i understand that some of these people are in remote regions without power, and the batteries on the cell phones have died, how do you rescue them? >> well, thats the tremendous challenge right now. especially if they can't get the aircraft up today. it is going to be very difficult. they were lucky yesterday, the governors helicopter, they were able to get down and get those people. it's not the fact that the roads have a lot of water on them, as you go into the foothills there is roads that are completely wiped out. so they can't get access to those towns it is a very

more than 1200 unaccounted for. nearly 12,000 evacuated. 19,000 homes damaged or destroyed. >> reporter: the flooding is spreading across parts of 15 counties. stretching almost 200 miles from north to south. some 15 inches of rain over the course of a week has saturated the ground so much it forced a mudslide in boulder that split this office building right in half. leaving about ten feet of mud behind. >> i woke up this morning and looked out our backyard to make sure how it was raining. there was a guy kayaking right outside our fence. >> reporter: even where the roads are still technically passable, the scramble for higher ground has been terrifying. the national guard opened a road to evacuate a caravan of 15 suvs buses and a service truck filled with 87 sixth graders. >> oh, my gosh. this is scary. this is really scary. >> reporter: fema is bringing in two 80-person search and rescue teams. the rising flood waters have become so dangerous that colorado national guardsmen and first responders are now evacuating

. >> houses have been lost and we still have people unaccounted for. we literally have not been able to get in to a lot of areas. >> the roads, or the bridge have been totally compromised, big gaps. >> ahead, the massive cleanup in colorado. >>> and a kidnapped girl back home. >> we're very happy to see her mom and dad. >> now there's word her mother has a link to one of the suspects. i'm in for shepard smith. emotional testimony today from

four are dead and the numbers could rise. 181 people still unaccounted for in boulder county. officials caution. this doesn't mean they are missing per se, it just means no one has been able to contact them. in many areas, there is no phone or cell service. >> right now, rescuers are taking advantage as we mentioned of that quite to get as many people to safety as possible. the worst we are werned could be on the rain because heavy rains are expected today and tomorrow and means potential for more devastating flash floods.

that's the number of folks who are unaccounted for.is going to go up from four or six to considerably higher? do we think that the lion's share of those folks are just people we can't get in touch with? >> there's hundreds of people if not thousands that are stranded. meaning they can't get in or out of their homes because of roads. many don't have power or water. we hope they're not in immediate danger in most cases and have supplies for a few days. it might take another day or two before the national guard can get them out. i don't know about the death toll. you know, where that's going to go. i think that we'll eventually rescue most of the people that are stranded. but it's still probably going to be higher than what it is now. >> is the rain, is it continues right now there? >> it's raining as we speak. the helicopters aren't flying. it's not getting any better. >> i know that president obama has already declared a state of emergency there. what kind of federal assistance do you plan to be seeking? >> well, you know, i mean, what

they now have 183 people who are unaccounted for. larimer county, according to their official twitter account, say that now 197 people unaccounted for. so, again, we're seeing these numbers go down substantially. what it means, it's people whose cell phones may have died, weren't able to call family or friends, perhaps phone lines were down in the neighborhood. they weren't able to call. so what we're seeing now, people are reconnecting with family members and friends. and the other thing officials are asking residents to do, if you reported someone missing, follow up with that report. let them know if the person is still missing or if that person has indeed been found so they can be crossed off this list. we're seeing the numbers go down. that's great news. if you look back here, guys, you see the river. i can tell you, from where i'm standing right now, a few days ago i would have been standing in the river. so fair to say the floodwaters are subsiding as well. it's all good news as we get more sun and more sun is in the forecast.

thousands have been evacuated from their homes and hundreds are still unaccounted for tonight. rescue teams have worked around the clock, but rain stalled efforts today. weather grounded 16 helicopters that had been brought in just for air lifts. mudslides and flash floods made ground operations dangerous as well. president obama has already ordered extra federal aid for three counties. they're asking to add 12 more counties to the link. tamara banks joins us live from fort collins with more on this. what's the latest tonight? >> reporter: well, jonathan, i can tell you that about 1200 people are still unaccounted for, and the reason for that is because there is no power. so people don't have their cell phones in order to change and they don't have land lines. so while the death toll is expected to rise possibly, a lot of those people that are missing may just be unaccounted for because they can't reach their loved ones and tell them they're okay. >> have they pinpointed where these people are? do they have a general idea who these 1200 people are and where they may live? >> re

more than 170 are unaccounted for.e are live on the ground as more rain heads their way. >>> there can be no games, no room for avoidance or anything less than full compliance by the assad regime. >> diplomatic deal, from a certain strike to asking congress for permission to strike to, hey, we're going to secure syria's chemical weapons. i'll look at the agreement and what happens if syria does not deliver. >>> and come hell or high haert, the jersey shore has survived both now. we're live with the investigation into the boardwalk inferno that is still smoldering today. all those stories in just a moment. >>> but we start with developing news in colorado at this hour where the death toll from that historic flooding is now at four. the latest victim was a woman whose body was found friday. water swamped her car, swept her away. that was north of boulder. today, the national guard is back in the town of lyons, northwest of boulder. guardsmen there are helping residents get out. officials have urged the entire town of 2,5

over 60 are unaccounted for and they may or may not emerge alive from this. but either way, one of the worst terror attacks of recent years. what do we know about the perpetrators? >> the shabaab movement started as a nationalistic movement. their main focus was in somalia. they never conducted attacks until 2010 outside somalia. the first attack outside somalia was actually the attack in uganda in july '13, i believe 2010 on the eve of the world cup. but recently after the african union participated in a peacekeeping mission inside somal somalia, shabaab has been defeated from mogadishu and from other main cities to include the port city. they lost wide territory. they lost significantly in many areas of somalia. they lost even among the population, the support that they once had with the population. a jihadi faction that already sought alliance to al qaeda and to ayman zawahiri appears to be in control of the shabaab movement. that faction was already in the -- in, you know, claiming that they are part of al qaeda now. >> we know there was a warning recentl

hundreds are unaccounted for. heavy rains grounded rescue helicopters. sunday president obama signed an emergency declaration. fima is asking for more counties to be added to the list. how many people are unacted for. we are joined by tamara banks. >> several hundred. you can see behind me the helicopters. they are not going anywhere. it's been raining off and on all day. emotions are running high - all the way from the residents to the sheriff. this place looks like a war zone. they've gone through a tough time and have a tough road ahead. four are dead, one dead in alpaso county and two missing presumed dead in larama. there are 500 unaccounted for in larama county. 16 chopers are standing by waiting to help, but the rain is too bad to fly. some have been trapped for days with no food and water. the good news is 7,000 people have been evacuated due to the raging flood. as you mentioned earlier, president obama ordered three counties get federal help and the governor is asking for 12 more counties to get aid. this rain has not let up all day and is rain

the people who don't have it, how is that going to affect people unaccounted for?reporter: the reason they want to reestablish phone service is so they can close the gap. what rescuers are saying today is they are hoping for the rain to clear up so they can launch he helicopters into the air. if people need to be rescued, trying to flag down the aircrews. all of the essentials ready to go. once they get in there get out of there quickly. >> already. thank you. >>> and workers from the american red cross bay area chapters are among those helping in colorado. >> out of a town that's basically water locked at this point. there's no electricity. >> the rescue efforts are continuing around the clock. >> cooler weather in california is helping firefighters take care of destructive wildfires here in northern california. upstate crews have contained the fire now. killed one man and destroyed 68 homes. nearly 13 square miles have been burn. >> expected to reopen finally today. now that the morgan fire has been contained. much of the weekend repairing buildings. the wildfire

also i want to talk about the 482 unaccounted for. basically that means that there are people who may have dead cell phones or phone lines may be down. there is a continuous effort underway to try to get in touch with people. again, that is a very high number at this point. 482 unaccounted for at this particular point. the hope is that that number will go down. t that operation continues. for now the helicopter operations pulling people to safety, that has been halted for the moment. >> so, george, hold on for a moment because i have with us now liz with the boulder office of emergency management. liz, give me an idea, what is the biggest obstacle right now? you heard our reporter, george, talk about the national guard rescues on hold because of the weather. what are the challenges for you and your crews? >> at this point it is a big concern with the weather. we don't have much visibility so the national guard held caicohe are grounded for now. >> how do you reach those who need assistance right away? >> we have been unable to reach j

red cross officials in kenya say 65 people remain unaccounted for as well.is the latest there, arwa? >> reporter: the westgate mall is just down the road and around the corner. earlier this morning, we heard an explosion there. there have been sporadic burst of gunfire. authorities were trying to sweep through the mall and repeatedly saying they are are in full control of the mall but that seems to be a relative term. we are hearing reports from them they are still trying to track down some of these gunmen that remain holed up inside there. there are various reports, concerns that part of the building might be boobytrappe r and gunmen may still be inside the building. we don't know how many but three have been killed according to kenyan authorities. you were speaking about some of them possibly be americans. the kenyan foreign minister saying that they also appear to be perhaps somalia or arab origin. the u.s. state department saying it is investigating that report. we are continuing to hear stories from those who survived the attack. >> hearing a blast and

>> 80 people still unaccounted for. is the water still too high? >> reporter: yeah, despite the dry ground here, looks can be deceiving. still very dangerous flood waters over much of colorado right now. so we're told those 80 people unaccounted for, they are hopeful are okay and simply don't have phone service and haven't been able to make contact perhaps with the people looking for them. so they aren't calling them missing at this point. i think the wording is crucial here. they are calling them unaccounted for and optimistic they will be found and be okay. >> anna, thanks very much. joining me is katy farmer. i understand you're searching for your parents. what is going on. >> i know where they are. they are both at my dad's house on high ground and i'm told safe right now. we're waiting to see if they will be able to come down to boulder on -- i hear one now -- i'm sorry. they might be flown down today or tomorrow and my mom's house is gone. >> your mom's house is gone? >> yeah, she's at my dad's house on higher ground. they are divorced and he

we are at 218 people unaccounted for right now.nd we did expect that number to fluctuate as people report that they have been able to reach their loved ones or friends. >> so that is absolutely the hope. while it is an awful number, there's a very good chance it's not merely that many. >> absolutely. as we continue rescues we know people will be reunited with their families. they will be able to contact family members of friends having said that, how many confirmed deaths to you know of? >> we have three confirmed fatalities in boulder county, and there's another one outside of our county, but in the state of colorado. >> so what is the most pressing situation you are dealing with now? is it rescuing people? it is evacuating people, is it both? >> it's both. we are definitely in the middle of life safety is our priority. the national guard and first responderred up in the mountains to rescue people that have been isolated for a while. and, of course, keep people away from running water on roads and everything. >> are people able to
