reporter: california is taking a beating from a series of el nino storms. after 24 hours of extreme flooding and one dramatic rescue after the next, the damage is extensive. just look at the water pouring in from a roof collapse wednesday at this salvation army store. and now,he concern is landslides. these boulders shut down a road in yosemite. in southern lifornia, the saturated ground is

interior, as well. we are concerned aut roadway travel delays. storm number two. bigger storm for the weekend spreading a large area of showers and thunderstorms which will eventually get into the southeast and oh, yeah, we're concerned about some wintry weather, as well. a lot of arctic air back behind. warmer air out ahead. and back behind low pressure, we are concerned about heavy snow. >> our thanks to justin at accuweather. we're following a developing federal agents arrested two people in separate incidents on terrorism charges. first in sacramento, a 23-year-old iraqi man arrested accused of trying to travel to syria to fight with terror organizations. and then in houston, a 24-year-old, also an iraqi man was apprehended and charged with providing material support to isis. although s silar, the feds have e yet to link the e o arrests. >> french investigators nonosay they are treating a foiled attack outside of a paris police station as an act of terror. they shot and killed a screaming knife-wielding man pledging his allegiance to isis. abc's alex marquardt is there. >> reporter: this cell phone video shows the moments after that takedown. at about 11:30 a.m., the man carrying a meat cleaver shouted, "god is great" in arabic and threatened the police. then, officers fired at him. >> i heard shouts coming from the police station. when the man didn't stop, they started shooting. >> reporter: a bomb squad moved in to analyze what looked like a suicide belt. fake. but on the young man, wearing jeans, were a paper isis flag and a note pledging allegiance to its leader. french authorities say that the man, in his early 20s, was born in morocco, and was not known to have been radicalized. the incident comes on the first anniversary of the massacre at the satirical newspaper "charlie hebdo" by two brothers tied to al qaeda that you left 12 dead. and after the isis attacks in november that killed 130, this man told us, we talk every day about the attacks that have happened and the attacks that will happen. just before the attack, france's president gave a speech, thanking the country's security forces. but he has warned that france is not finished with terrorism, and the country remains at its highest alert level. alex marquardt, abc news, paris. also new this morning, dozens of police officers dead after a truck bombing in libya.

to violence. libya has been in chaos since moammar gadhafi was overthrown more than four years ago. >> so instead of the running of the bulls it's been the running of the bears on wall street this week. u.s. markets are off to their worst start in a long time because of problems overseas, specificallylyhina. where stock trading was halted twice this week because of big drops. this morning we can say the shanghai index was both up and down before closing up 2%. and a good u.s. jobs report today could actually bolster the markets here. >> tonya couch has a date in court this morning. she's the mother of the so-called affluenza teen bught back to texas yesterday. couch will be arraigned on charges she helped her son flee to mexico. ethan was convicted of killing four people while driving

of trump supporters waited for several hours in the cold as well as hundreds of protesters. it came as trump unleashed a new attack on the clintons with a new ad challenging hillary clinton's record on women's rights saying she enabled the former president during his sex scandals. but mr. clinton on the campaign trail in iowa refusing to take the bait. >> it hasn't been a very pretty picture for her or for bill because i'm the only one willing to talk about his problems. >> and are you worried that your past could hurt your wife's campaign? >> i don't have a response. if he wins the republican nomination, we'll have plenty of time to talk about it. >> you know, it really is a distinct possibility actually. just yesterday, "time" magazine put trump on their cover with the headline "how trump won." >> well,n the meantime, trump is also throwing punches at his closest competitor in the gop we're talking about ted cruz. he's again raising the question of whether the canadian born senator is eligible to hold the nation's highest office and now trump is finding an unexpected ally on capitol hill. abc's tom llamas is on the campaign trail in iowa. >> reporter: as senator ted cruz drove through iowa, donald trump tweeted him a helpful message -- "ted, free legal advice, how to preempt democrats on citizen issue. go to court. you will win." the senator's answer.
