>> thanks a lot. i know you guys at the weather channel are staying on top of this. a busy day for you. our viewers are helping out as well, sending in photos of storm damage in the midwest. these next shots come from the kentucky highway department showing a grain bin that blew across the road and slammed into a truck. let's go to michigan and check in with the weather channel's mike sieidel. >> reporter: it's taking some of the beach with it, much like we see on the east coast with a nor'east nor'easter, but this wind is primarily from the north and southwest. the low level stratus, it is just racing by because the wind is running 50, 60, 70 miles an hour. look at the trees there, how they're getting blown around by this wind. this is nothing compared to what they're going through later tonight into wednesday and thursday morning. some of these gusts will be at 60 plus miles an hour, so power outages, a big deal. what we're going to do in about an hour is relocate. all this area is going to be underwater. in the november '98 storm, a one-day deal, the waves were crashing on the road and up against that wall there at the city filtration plant, so we've got to head to higher ground. going to be a lot of sand erosion, but the real impact for many across the midwest is going to be the risk certainly serious risk of power going out. much like they've seen this morning in illinois, possible tornado out in will county, down there in the loop area where doesn't look too bad right now as far as the wind goes. >> he's in muskegon, michigan and the weather channel has their folks across these hard-hit areas. this is indiana, where homeowners are seeing roof damage and are out there trying to get the tarp on. this is a rain event as well and across indiana, there have been reported winds of 80 miles per hour. the other thing is, lake michigan, they're expecting waves in the middle of lake michigan to reach as high as 25 feet. so that's disrupts even big ship traffic. the smaller craft, that could be dangerous even potentially deadly for small water craft to be out there. i'd like to ask, if you have pictures of this storm, the damage it's caused where you are and can get them safely, we'd love to see what you're seeing. you can do both pictures and video on our website or you can e-mail them or just send them to me. i'll look through my e-mail, too. the fund raising hot streak for sharron angle gets even hotter. politico is reporting that week that the nominee raked in more than $5 million in just the first two weeks of october. that helped buy attention-getting ads. >> illegal aliens streaming across the border, joining violent gangs, forcing families to live in fear and what's harry reid doing about it? voting to give them tax breaks, college tuition, even siding with obama and the president of mexico to block arizona's new immigration law. it's clear who's side he's on and it's not yours. >> wow. bill is the washington bureau chief of the "st. petersburg times." i want to look at some specific senate races here, bill, and especially in indiana, where we're seeing a big lead for dan coates, the republican. he's got a pretty major lead over brad elsworth. we look at the most recent dan coates ad, let me play it and get your reaction to it. >> that's right. elsworth voted with nancy pelosi to force seniors into barack obama's government-run health care program reducing the protection medicare provides. that's wrong. >> what did you find out? is he telling the truth? >> not at all. in fact, that ad got our lowest rating, pants on fire, it's just ridiculously false. there's nothing that would force seniors into the government-run health care. they're already on medicare for the most part, so that ad was just ridiculously wrong, so we rated it pants on fire. >> let's go to illinois and look at the race between alexi giannoulias and kirk. >> mark kirk lied about going to war. opposed middle class tax cuts and said unemployment's not that big an issue. what do you say? >> his whole political career is probably a lie. >> his lies are going to catch up with him. >> i would not trust him with my left shoe. >> let me go to my map of illinois. here's the two candidates. what do you rate that as? >> we rated that as barely true. there are a lot of big challenge rations in that ad. we addressed previously on plit fact, the claims that mark kirk has lied about going to war has to do with an award he said he won that he didn't actually win. his unit in the naval reserve that received an award and he said he won a different award, so it's a big exaggeration. the other pieces of that add up to barely true and that's what we've seen in a lot of ads this time. >> so then let me ask you about this other one. you've got kirk saying giannoulias gave money to gangsters and lost $70 million in kids' college savings. >> what do you call someone who lent $20 million to mobsters? alexi giannoulias. what do you call a man who lost $73 million in our kids' college savings? state treasurer alexi giannoulias. >> aren't these ads great? i don't recall a rating for that one. i think it was barely true. >> half true. which is what i tried to get away with when i was a kid. but it was half true. does that count? >> what happened with that ad, you know, they have really distorted giannoulias's role as a banker and they've taken some liberties. we've done a couple of checks on kirk's attacks and there are things that happened at this bank when giannoulias was not there. it's sort of classic. a great time for exaggerating and half truths. >> good to see you. we're going to keep talking to you as we go through the election results on tuesday. and by the way, we're watching nationwide, because there are a lot of these ads. they're getting a lot of attention and the fact checkers here are labeling some of them false. my big question today, isn't the damage already done by those false campaign ads? i'd like to hear your thoughts on twitter, facebook or e-mail me. the obama administration is warning schools ignore antigay bullying and lose your funding. the department of education is sending out new guidelines today to protect students. the department reminds them that the law protects them from gender discrimination. turns out a parade not to blame for dozens of sick college kids and wait until you hear about the culprit. plus, is a snooki costume insensitive to native americans or a lady gaga costume to vegetarians? when it comes to housing, it's still a buyer's market. the price of a single family home is nearly 28% lower than in july of 2006 when the market peaked. i'm joined by my friend, melissa francis. when we look at the home prices and the fact they are still so flat, what does that do to the overall housing industry? >> it's a really tough time. first of all, you're talking about the case shuler study. you'll see that all real estate is local in places like phoenix, we're looking at prices down another 1.3%, but there are place where we were higher like new york, detroit, chicago and washington. overall, we're off the bottom. we saw bottom a while ago, but we're so far off that peak that we saw it's tough if you own a home. if you're somebody who's out there looking to buy for the first time, you say, wow, affordability is better than ever. if we think back to 2005 and 2006, there were new families forming that said, my goodness, we're never going to be able to get into the housing market. look on the other side. it's a different feeling. >> it's interesting because when we look at the lot of the numbers, we're seeing unemployment slowly, slowly declining. i'm looking at the markets today. we stand, dow jones industrials, above 11,000 right now. what's that doing for the way consumers feel about the economy? >> yeah, i mean consumer sent m, it was slightly better this month than last. it seems no matter what stoir we're talking about, it comes back to employment. consumers aren't going to feel better until they know for sure they have a job. even if you have a job, you feel worried about spending money because you're going to join the ranks of the unemployed. the stock market is looking pretty good and there's definitely a disconnect there. you have to think, does the stock market know something we don't or is it a function of the weak dollar? >> thanks. an update on a story that we brought you on a party that sent nine students to the hospital. investigators thought somebody might have spiked the drinks, but police say this was the case of binge drinking made worse by a caffeinated malt product. this is the product some of the students call blackout in a can. >> our investigation showed that every one of them that were hospitalized had drank the drink. it's 23.5 ounces, 4% alcohol. five to six beers in a can. >> the drink has been banned from the university, but the company says they go to great length to make sure the product is not sold to underage drinkers. they are they are be blamed unfairly, that the central washington students were drinking all kinds of alcohol -- they say -- in. in florida, one man a taking the phrase, keep on trucking to heart. he's racking up 250,000 miles on his ford truck. he uses it to drive greyhounds to racetracks or adoptive homes. he said the odometer stopped at 999,999 miles. one of the world's most famous airplanes have undergone a makeover. air force one has been out of rotation since shortly after president obama took office. it underwent major refurbishing and is now in service. most of the work involved maintenance. we have a crush into a story we aired yesterday. when reporting that the center for health solutions would consider dropping benefits if others did, we want to clarify they're not considering dropping benefits for employees. they're hearing the consideration from pulling clients. a handicapped man installed a surveillance camera in his bedroom because he was worried he wasn't getting adequate care and wait until you hear what happened next. and are the attacks on christine o'donnell sexist?

>> sure, allowing it is a fair, workable solution as immigrants work towards their citizenship and it rees establishes voting righting for immigrants. for the first 120 years of america's history, we based voting on residency. they're living here, paying taxes, sending their kids to our schools and we believe they should have a right to be able to have a say on what goes on locally. >> would you envision a push to do that national ly, too, for legal residents because after all, the same thing if you could argue at a national level, they're paying taxes and the issues of highway funds and the environment affects the air we breathe. that affects people here legally, but are not citizens. >> that's a really great question and i think here, locally, maine is the whitest and oldest state in the nation and portland, we have 7 to 10,000 immigrants living in our communities, so in maine, that's a large chunk. people that are -- larger than most towns in maine. so, that's -- i think it's a local issue for us. but it does spark a trend nationally. >> if you want to see those people having a voice then, william, why wouldn't you push all those residents to become citizens? >> we think they should become citizens and unfortunately, our citizenship, our pathway to citizenship is broken in this country. congress has refused to step up and fix that over the past session. a lot of americans don't understand how long it takes to become a citizen once you become a permanent resident here. a lot of the folks we talk want to become citizens. it takes a long time. thousands of dollars. and as immigrants and refugees coming to this country. a lot of these are barriers they can't get over. >> we'll continue to follow how that turns out. thanks. >> thanks so much for having me. we're learning more about the case of the florida teenager once famous for the hiccups. now, she's facing murder charges. jennifer mee's life turned from constant sympathy to constant trouble with the law. the police department spoke on today. >> sometimes, when you live a transient lifestyle, you tend to hang around unsavory individuals. she didn't live on the street, but it's transient in nature because she moved from one location to another. >> now, mee is living in jail. being held without bond. police they don't believe she was involved in the shooting itself. the cast of "back to the future" was on the set of "today" this morning. christopher lloyd told meredith viera he almost didn't play brown because of an offer for a play. >> i didn't know anybody who was involved with it. i looked at it, thought, you know -- hell with it. you know?
