Governor pence who is also the gop vicepresident ial nominee is expected to survey the damage there today and incredibly nobody was hurt. Welcome news. We had unofficial reports, winds as much as 160 Miles Per Hour on the border. Heres radar from the time of the storm yesterday. Heres indianapolis just south of here. 40 mile north, thats where kokomo, indiana is. A lot of dramatic video coming in this morning. These storms progressed farther off to the east and eventually brought a little Severe Weather to western parts of ohio yesterday, late last night. For us, today, we had a clear sky out there. Its a mild and dry start to the day today. The Severe Weather is going to stay well to our north. We wont worry about that. However, there will be a chance for a shower or thunderstorm primarily north and west of the metro area for today. Of course, haguerstow
New developments from that huge earthquake in central italy. Its causing even more problems this morning. The biggest one, aftershocks striking the country right now. A magnitude 4. 3 magnitude collapsed at least one building in the town of amatrice this morning. The death toll is at 241 people right now. Thats actually less than what officials were saying this morning, but still a staggering number. At this hour crews are leading dogs through the streets to try to find any survivors and recover any bodies in the mess. Italian leaders say it is possible to give an estimate of how many might still be missing right now. Some of the most dramatic moments have been the scenes of rescuers pulling survivors from the rubble in italy. We saw what was likely the most intense and rewarding scene like that this morning. Take a look at this, rescuers pulle a pile of rocks and debris. People clapping as she was pulled from beneath all of that. Amazingly she seems to be okay. People applauding as th
There was no mention of what happened to this mother, begging questions of whether or not this incident was reported. Hear from the mother who describes what it was like when it happened to her son. Numb. It was a little numbing that he would have been able to leave school, period. To get off a playground. There should have been watching him. Just its numbing. You dont know what to think, you dont know what happened. Reporter now that mother wrote a letter to the Prince Georges County School System outlining what happened to her child, she says that she did not receive any followup from Child Protective Services and doesnt know what happened. Lots of questions about why the report wasnt filed, leading to the real possibility that there were other improprieties that e the Prince Georges County school board will be meeting tonight. Were expecting them to address the head start issue, although it is not on the public agenda. Well have more on what happened with this mother and what she be
The pope will be in the u. S. From tuesday to sunday including a wednesday welcoming ceremony at the white house with president obama. Security upgrades and road closures will disrupt daily routines in washington, new york and philadelphia. We probably wouldnt be able to drive and well be trying to take the metro. Former secret Service Agent said the popes openness causes challenges for protection. He doesnt want that security presence and he wants to mix and mingle with the people which is completely understandable and i think honorable, but it creates a security nightmare for secret Service Agents. One of the biggest Security Issues will come from the city of brotherly love. Final touches are made in the Benjamin Franklin parkway where the pope will hold a mass for a crowd expected to reach a Million People. Jay johnson visited the command center in philadelphia today. We know of no specific credible threat directed at the popes visit here to this city. The director of the secret ser
Vatican and buenos aires, with a special edition of gma. And good morning, america. Robin off today. Great to have Elizabeth Vargas and john muller here on this historic day. It is great to be here on such a big morning. It certainly is. Right to rome right now where pope francis began his first morning as head of the Catholic Church by visiting romes largest cathedral. Something of a humble start. Went through a Side Entrance before an icon of the virgin mary. See him right there, spent about 30 minutes in contemplation and went outside and see people kissing his ring. Hes not really used to it this first day. Almost seems if he wants to shake their hands, but, of course, he is going to get used to this. He is the leader of 1. 2 billion catholics right now. A man famous for being out amongst the people washing their feet so this must be a change. You may remember that last night he told those crowds packed in st. Peters square just after his announcement that he intended to pray to th
