to 22 inches of rain. north carolina, flooding downtown. take a look. i used to live in houston and thought i had seen a lot of rain there. this is incredible. i ve never seen flooding like this. i m on the third floor. i think it s okay. i have to get food for my kids. i went to get food for my kids, went half block and the road was flooded. so i got my kayak out. also st. mary s, maryland. a foot of rain. what we don t have with this flooding. will be rivers that are above record crest. okay. because we didn t put the water mountain areas. up toward new england. talking about where the 22-inch rainfall happened. 22 inches. wilmington ever been here? i don t think so, no.
nuclear weapon, no diplomacy is going to stop them, sanctions are too late, the possibility of regime change won t come in time. so absent preemptive military force by someone, and it won t be the obama administration, the most likely outcome, the near certain outcome, is that iran gets nuclear weapons. that s going to be extremely damaging for american interests in the region and for peace and security there and around the world. jane: that is the view from john bolton, former ambassador to the u.n., as we await these comments from the iranian president. ambassador, thank you for your thoughts. thank you. jon: a major weekend storm across the south killing at least 19 people in three states. take a look at the dire flooding situation in nashville now as the cumberland river edges toward a record crest. and two inmates could have made a run for it when the deputy watching them collapsed, but didn t. what they did instead.
above flood stage. but that s lower than many had once feared. now, more than a million sandbags are in place in fargo and nearby morehead, minnesota to hold back the waters. and city officials have cigars at the ready to celebrate if the river does not overflow. jacqui, let s hope they ll be smoking those cigars. it s not only that, but we ve got the snow, and that s it s kind of all adding into it, right? it is, yeah. and you know, it may not over top the levees that they ve built. the other thing you ve got to worry about is make sure those dikes hold. so if they get any kind of break in there they re in big trouble as well. and one of those concerns we have is we think we re going to stay under that record crest for tomorrow. however, the river s supposed to stay in major flood for at least a week. so those sandbags are going to be up there, you know, with that water pressure pushing on them for a good week. so that s something we ll be watching. so that s a little bit of good
