We begin with neil reporting in from minneapolis. It only takes one look at this buckling bridge in henderson, minnesota to get a sense of power of a flooded river. The bridge is slowly collapsing.

Were talking record rainfall totals receiving 25 inches of rain since january. Normally for this time of year theyve only received almost 14 inches of rain. Where are we expecting the rainfall again . Very similar situation what theyve been dealing with the last few days.

When he came to my First Response was just i need to get out of here and we had a window on the floor. I grabbed a blanket off the bed and broke the window with my forearm and jumped out. Reporter a call weve seen before. In 2012 a small plane crashed into the garage of this home near seattle. Inside just a few feet away, two teenagers playing video games, both escaped. But Small Plane Crashes are often deadly. That year there were more than 1400 accidents killing 432 people. The ntsb is saying 96 of all aviation accidents involve small private planes.

You never know when your day could come and it was too close for comfort today. Reporter abc news, new york. Were glad his day did not come. A bold step from a pope who has become famous for taking risk. But this latest move, excommunication of the italian mob could endanger pope francis. These are criminals like mobsters like in america and today the pope in effect said no more. Heres abcs ron claiborne. Reporter before a crowd in hundreds of thousands where organized crime runs rampant. The pope issued a blistering attack on italian mafia. Those who follow this path of evil are not in communion with god. They are excommunicated. As the crowd cheered pope francis said it must be fought against and must be pushed aside. A vatican official said later the popes strong words were a message that italian gangsters should not be looked up to as men of honor. Do you renounce satan . Reporter as shown in the movie the godfather, many of the italian organized crime families consider themselves devout catholics. Todays words by the peoples pope were the harshest by a pope since 1993 when john paul ii warned the mafia it would one day face the justice of god. A few months later the basilica of st. Johns and several others were bombed. The pope spoke in a region of italy where a local boy was murdered along with his grandfather last january by the local mafia, the popes message, to them and all organized crime, youre not wanted in the church. Dan, very brave words from pope francis. Indeed. Well see you first thing in the morning on gma. Thousands of heavily armed shiite militiamen and women paraded through major cities including baghdad. Are we on the cusp of a faith fueled civil war here . Reporter the situation tonight is extremely grave. The iraqis have now run out of hell fire missiles and lost dozens of tanks to isis, its clear the offensive capabilities seriously diminished. This is a country under siege from within. Shia fighters are showing their numbers and weaponry and will power in baghdad and beyond.

She was sentenced to 20 years in prison. Drop the charges. Reporter it ignited a outcry for the harsh sentence. Does the new law add more confusion . Exactly when is it okay to fire a warninging shot. With a law like this there could be complications. Its all arguable, its going to be the burden of the shooter to articulate he was either in fear for his life or at the very least in fear that he was going to be serious ly injured. Its a good day for people interested in their own selfdefense but over time it will be proven how it will affect the residents of florida.
