The forecast in a moment, but first, abcs aditi roy in california tonight. Reporter tonight, the west bracing for another round of stormy weather. Forecasters projecting up to six more inches in the already rainbattered areas. When youve got two storms coming through backtoback, that takes a lot of energy. Reporter all hands on deck . All hands on deck. Reporter throughout northern california, high winds already downing trees and power lines. Wires falling onto this mini van in sonoma county, trapping a mom and her three kids inside until crews could shut off the electricity. Take a look at the roots of this 90foot pine tree here in berkeley, california. Feels massive just standing next to it. It fell on three homes, but luckily, no one was hurt. In the eastern sierras, 200 firefighters battling this blaze. Were right there on paradise point. Reporter 250 people evacuated. 20 structures destroyed.

Now, we just heard aditi talk about the storm thats on the way. You were just telling me its even going to be bigger than this last one. Reporter yeah, a bit of a break tonight, but the next one is a big one. You can see it on the satellite picture, already developing. It will strengthen over the next 24 hours and by tomorrow afternoon, it will be just off the coast. But close enough to spawn strong winds and heavy rains from San Francisco north towards seattle. Some of the winds will be damaging. Some of the rains will be flooding. And some mudslides across northern california. The beneficial rains not getting all the way to Southern California los angeles and san diego, unfortunately for them. Really need the rain out here. Out here, its been snowing today, but theres a bigger storm on the way . Reporter yeah, its going to be increasing. Part of the Pacific Energy is going to get to the east coast. Its a little bit milder. The freezing line is going to be important as we go towards tomorrow. The snows increase across upstate new york and new england.

We turn now to a Terror Threat right here at home. Six people now under arrest, accused of sending money, weapons and supplies to isis. Abcs senior justice correspondent Pierre Thomas has that story. Reporter Mediha Salkicevic stood in federal court in chicago today, accused by the fbi of supporting the murderous group isis, known for its vicious beheadings. Her neighbors were shocked. Its something you get caught offguard by it. It makes you sort of feel less safe. Reporter salkicevic was one of six people from across the country, from suburban illinois to upstate new york and st. Louis caught in what prosecutors described as a conspiracy to funnel thousands in cash and military gear to isis. According to authorities, the suspects, all immigrants from bosnia ages 26 to 42 used the u. S. Postal service to quietly ship rifle scopes camouflage clothing and boots to isis terrorists. Those items were mailed to istanbul, turkey and then smuggled into syria. If you are willing to support fighters in syria, you would also be willing to take up arms here at home and carry out attacks here at home. Reporter one discovery in the investigation signifies law enforcements concerns. The suspects are accused of supporting a st. Louis man who traveled to syria to join islamic radicals. Sources say that suspected terrorist, who has since been killed, bragged on facebook about capturing and slaughtering prisoners. The fbi believes the suspects knew they were supporting killers. Cecilia, the fbi believes theres mounting evidence that isis has a pool of support, right here inside the u. S. In the past year alone, 20 americans have been arrested for going, or trying to go to syria. Pierre, thank you. Next, to that new and heartbreaking look behind the scenes of a familys desperate bid to free their daughter, held hostage by isis. Kayla mueller captured nearly 18 months ago and now isis claims she was killed in a bomb raid. Tonight, her family breaking their silence. Abcs chief investigative correspondent brian ross with that part of the story. Reporter u. S. Officials tonight say, they still have no proof and lots of doubts about the isis claim that 26yearold Kayla Mueller was killed in an air strike. She could have been killed some place else. She could have been dead for months. Reporter kaylas parents, marsha and carl, remain in seclusion in their arizona home. In a statement, they pleaded with isis to contact them directly as the terror group had apparently done before. You told us you treated kayla as your guest, they said. As your guest, her safety and wellbeing remains your responsibility. Their daughter had gone to syria to work with war refugees. Posting this video on youtube, shortly before her capture a year and a half ago. I am in solidarity with the syrian people. Reporter if the reports are confirmed, kayla would be the fourth of four american isis hostages to be killed, along with peter kassig, Steven Sotloff and james foley. U. S. Officials say, an American Rescue mission last july 4th into syria missed all of the american hostages, including kayla, by just two days. Today, james foleys mother, diane, told abc news, the white house has done too little, too late. Kayla, along with our son and others, were held for nearly two years. And there were many opportunities along the way. And yet, nothing was done to save our young americans. Reporter tonight, the parents of Kayla Mueller say they are Still Holding out hope their daughter is alive. Brian ross, abc news. Our thanks to brian ross. And one note tonight. The u. S. Now saying it is reviewing its policy on how it deals with the families of hostages. Also, another middle east ally rejoined the fight against isis. The United Arab Emirates ordered a squadron to jordan to take part in air strikes there. Jordan is leading the charge, after isis brutally murdered one of its pilots by burning him in a cage.

Reporter in a statement to abcs chicago affiliate, comcast said, we are continuing to investigate this thoroughly, and have reached out to our customer to apologize and make it right. Comcast has already had to apologize before, for another obscenely labeled bill, and it follows an embarrassing 20minute conversation, caught on tape last summer with a comcast customer representative recorded by a customer named ryan block. Wed like to disconnect, please. All right, so why is it that you dont want the fastest speed . Help me understand why you dont want faster internet. Help me understand why you cant disconnect us.

You know, its not about apologies. Its about doing it right the first time. Reporter bauer says her complaints were ignored until she went public. Customers should never need to have to go to the press or to social media or sending an email to the ceo to get the right service. Reporter eliason believes comcast really is trying to change.

It is part of so Many American childhoods. Nearly a quarter million children suit up for pop warner every year, but now, one wisconsin family is suing the largest Youth Football League in the country, saying its too dangerous for kids and is the reason their son is not alive tonight. Heres abcs linzie janis. This is the pop warner picture. Joseph is on the left. Reporter from the time he was 11 years old, Joseph Chernach loved playing football. But his mother is now suing the Youth Football League pop warner for 5 million, saying the repeated trauma to her sons brain resulted in his suicide at 25. I just couldnt understand why a happy kid turned into someone so depressed. Reporter in her lawsuit, pyka alleges pop warner football disregarded the plaintiffs right to safety. Pop warner allows children who still have to sit in the backseat in a carseat to play tackle football with helmets. That is the problem. Reporter knowledge about the dangers of youth football has evolved. A recent Boston University study found that former nfl players who played tackle football before the age of 12 are more likely to have serious brain damage. Pop warner says they have made rule changes to make the game safer, but in a statement, says, we question the merits of singling out four years of youth football amid a career of sports that lasted through high school. Even if this mother was able to demonstrate that football was the cause of the injury that doesnt mean she wins a lawsuit. You still have to prove that they knew or should have known how dangerous football is. And i think thats just incredibly unlikely. Reporter pyka says she hopes her lawsuit will make other parents think twice about letting their kids play football. Linzie janis, abc news, new york.
