Hi from miami. 25th anniversary. Good morning. Welcome back to today on this saturday morning. Our crowd on the plaza joining us to say hi. Im Sheinelle Jones alongside craig melvin. They make me happy. We will get out on the plaza in a bit. Out west, up to 10 inches. The powerful pacific storm affecting millions of americans out west. Steve patterson is live this mortgage. Reporter good morning, craig and sheinelle. This is the most powerful storm to hit Southern California in years for good reason. First of all, the rainfall has been absolutely incredible. More rainfall in some places in one day than those areas would get in one month. What does that mean . It means flash flooding, absolutely everywhere. Washed out roads causing dozens of accidents. In one case, rescue crews found a man submerged in flood waters. Pronounced dead on the scene. The wind has been just as bad. Wind gusts up to 80 miles an hour. In some cases, toppling trees and landing on power lines. The power lines arcing and sparking. In one case, a tree land oed on top of a car which killed a 55yearold man. About 150 calls for downed power lines last night. About 150,000 customers without power in the los angeles area. Mudslides also a major problem. Nearly 200 homes in the hillside communities thought to be in the red zone or the threat zone. That situation will only get worse after the storm ends because the rainfall saturated so much of the land here. The mudslides will be more likely. Back out here live, we have been watching the incredible situation. Crews pulling cars from the massive sinkhole that swallowed two cars. Because of a miraculous rescue, nobody was hurt. The full power of the storm has been on display and we are nowhere near over with it at this point. More rainfall expected today and another system moves through early next week. Craig and sheinelle. Steve, thank you. Indra is standing by with a deeper look at this thing. When can they look at relief . It is not just this storm, but another one behind it. The ground is saturated here. 22 Million People with the risk and flood treat. The greatest threat in the burn areas. Anything where the water is coming down. Here is the first storm. This is the last 12 hours. You are talking about 2 to 6 inches of rain in the coastal sections. In the foothills, up to 10 inches of rainfall. Now you have the second storm making its way in. There is going to be a difference with the first storm and second storm. That is where the focus is. Remember the river . The Atmospheric River . That is pointed at northern california. Especially out toward san francisco. The next system makes its way in tomorrow. You are barely getting relief. Heavy rainfall making its way through oroville. Southern california, scattered showers with the Second System. Remember, the winds gusting 76 miles per hour. Powerful storm still in the area. Meanwhile, the Second System focusing on northern california. Craig. Thank you, indra. A look at other headlines we are following this morning starting with the president and Vice President on the road. Vice president pence at the Munich Security Conference trying to calm allies about the american support. He said the u. S. Is unwaivering in the commitment to nato. The president is touring a boeing plant in south carolina. Promising workers he would return jobs across the nation. He is now in florida to hold a campaignstyle rally. A new development in the suspicious death of the half brother of north korea leader he. The north korea man arrested in malaysia for what is called the assassination of kim jongnam. The estranged half brother of kim jongun. Said he was sprayed with a chemical at the airport. And now to the exciting countdown in florida. The launch of the spacex rocket planned to liftoff in the next few hours. Kerry sanders live at the Kennedy Space center. Kerry, good morning. Reporter good morning. The countdown is under way, sheinelle. Tminus 1 54. 38. The engineers had been concerned that the liftoff was an issue with the helium leak. They have plugged that up. Based on the weather, there is a 70 chance of liftoff. The falcon 9 rocket poised for st take off from pad 39 a. Where the rockets have launched and shuttle missions. Liftoff. Reporter a private company spacex is now using this pad adds a nostalgic weight of getting it right. How do you feel . Very high anxiety. Worse for this particular one. Falcon 9 off pad 39a. Historical mission. Its nerve wracking. Reporter Gwen Shotwell is the president of spacex. What does this make you think of . I remember being a little girl. My father sitting me in front of the tell e my father sitting me in front of the tell vision screen. Back and white. I saw astronauts land on the moon. Reporter she and spacex founder elon musk hope to inspire similar feelings for another generation when spacex lands on mars. Target date . Only 16 to 20 years from now. You know, spacex, everybody told us we would never get to orbit. With a little rocket, we did that. We would never get to the International Space station. We did that. Mars . Absolutely. Reporter another tricky part to the liftoff. That is after it lifts off and the top goes away. Then the lower part, the lower stage will come back toreuse it. It is like bringing a pencil back down to earth and try to land it on something that is the size of a dinner plate. If they can capture the lower stage, again, that means they can then reuse it. Thats all part of the economics that they believe will eventually allow them to head to mars. Amazing. Amazing. Kerry, i will never look at my pen the same way. Amazing college professor. Kerry, thank you. We have a milestone in migration to show you this morning. Check this out. Officials in argentina say this is the largest gathering ever seen of the south american penguins.

It can cost 66,000. Steep. That is why the school is offering a way to ease the financial burden by letting students graduate faster. Acceleration program will help students graduate in three years instead of four. It does it by increasing the number of twocredit courses it offers and allows students to transfer more credits from other schools. Think other schools follow suit . I hope so. I enjoyed the fouryear experience. I would not trade that extra year. For 66,000. My kid would come out in two years. Kids dont agree. I dont think four years of my college cost that much money. Its a lot. Did you come out in four years . I did and went back. I finished in three. I stayed the fourth and had fun. Sorry, mom and dad. It is actually loans. You didnt have to go the fourth .

It looks like things worked out. You are looking at the all grown up couple right there. With sams on screen dad liam neeson. I love this. Look at the side by side. First of all, lee iam hasnt ag. You are thinking ten minutes for a sequel doesnt sound a lot. It will squeeze in hugh grant and keira knightley. Lets talk jessica biel. Just like us, she understands the multitasking that comes along with being a mom. She stopped by the tonight show this week and confessed to eating in the shower. Her 22monthold son keeps her so busy. She has two words for it. Mom life. I feed him in the morning. Trying to get ready. I realize i have not eaten. It is a huge success. Sometimes it is a huge failure. It doesnt work with cereal. It does. If you get a little water in the milk, not a big deal. What is tough is a sandwich. Thats hard. It can be sausage works great. I feel you. Especially this morning. That is your popstart. Thats funny. Just like us, but hotter. Sounds like she and j. T. Need to step it up.

You cannot tell between models with furniture. It is not like clothes. Im trying to redeem myself after the grocery. Spring cleaning tools. I imagine the folks who sell these tools would want to jack up the prices. I say wait. You are 100 correct. A few reasons for this. Spring cleaning is not called Spring Cleaning for nothing. I recommend waiting on things like Home Organization items and vacuums. Wait for the warmer weather. The Companies Know that household enthusiasts and families do a deep clean twice a year. Spring cleaning is the biggest. They know that cheaper prices sell more products. You will see them marking dow y down items. Last year, we saw data conclude big names like dyson and hoover discount up to 40 off. Home appliances here. Buy now. Wait later. Ill use the same longer. Wait. Ill have to tell you you are wrong. I hate to say it. The thing with Home Appliances. Lets say you entertain and your appliances have seen better days. It is isa great time to upgrade. A lot of stores are trying to clear inventory. They need to get ready for summer. What they do is discounting to sell. The other thing about Home Appliances for viewers in maryland, actually, energy star is actually offering taxfree weekend this weekend. Taxfree on big appliances. And Winter Weather here. This is luggage. Buy now. Wait later. Buy now. You are right. March is considered shoulder season. Late february or march. Not a lot of travellers. Holidays have passed.
