florida lawmakers can w disney on the docket, the one that ended the tax district after the magic kingdom came out against the don t say gay law. i m hallie jackson in washington, but let s start with nbc news foreign correspondent molly hunter, and nbc news meteorologist bill karins. let s take a look about what we know about the story that has developed quite a bit over the last 18 hours or so. very strong earthquakes, two of them, in a region that includes part of turkey and syria. the first was early in the morning. 7.8 magnitude. the second later in the afternoon, 7.5. we know at least 3,000 people are dead. it s very likely that number, horrifically will go up. rescuers on the ground, countries around the world promising to send help as well. the quakes took place near the turkish city, pretty large, population, more than 2 million people, people as far away as egypt and israel felt this thing. that s the difference between new york and chicago. i want to get to molly
