The sun did make a brief appearance after nearly a week you would say of relentless torrential rains, high surf and mud slides. We are told that todays respite unfortunately will be a brief one. Abcs brandi hitt kicking off 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, the concern is landslides. These boulders shut down a road in yosemite. In southern california, the saturated ground is also shifting. Thousands of homes are threatened by fastmoving mud. Along the coast, Million Dollar mansions are also getting pounded by high surf. Got nailed. Reporter waves up to 25feet high helping to create massive sinkholes like this one. And the extreme weather catching many tourists by surprise. Im from baltimore. I thought it didnt rain here. Taking advantage of any break in the rain to clean up before the next storm strikes. And that next dose arrives saturday. Luckily its expected to be lighter rain but still many are nervous in the mudslides areas already saturated. Its going to be a long weekend ahead. While it was rainy and windy along the coast, in the mountains it was a different story. In big bear, california, 30 inches of snow fell in just 48 hours. I know you love big bear.

People in separate incidents on terrorism charges. First in sacramento, a 23yearold iraqi man arrested accused of trying to travel to syria to fight with terror organizations. In houston, a 24yearold also an iraqi man was apprehended and charged with providing Material Support to isis. Although similar, the feds have yet to link the two arrests. French investigators now say they are treating a foiled attack outside of a paris police they shot and killed a screaming knifewielding man pledging his allegiance to isis. Abcs Alex Marquardt is there. 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 when the man didnt stop, they started shooting. Reporter a bomb squad moved in to analyze what looked like a suicide belt. A robot inspected the body. The belt turned out to be a 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 left 1 dead. And after the isis attacks in about the attacks that have will happen. Just before the attack, frances president gave a speech, thanking the countrys 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. About 200 others were injured. It happened at a police base where recruits were training. No one is claiming responsibility. But a local Islamic State affiliate is suspected. Smugglers operating in libya also resort to violence. Libya has been in chaos since Moammar Gadhafi was overthrown three years ago. So instead of the running of the bulls, its 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, twice this week because of big drops. This morning we can say the shanghai index was 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. Shes the mother of the socalled affluenza teen brought 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 drunk. A Youtube Video allegedly shows him violating his probation. He remains in mexico fighting extradition. On the other side of the country, donald trump packed a full house last night in burlington, vermont. Thousands 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 Clintons record on womens 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. Picture for her or for bill because im the only one willing to talk about his problems. And are you worried that your past could hurt your wifes campaign . I dont have a response. If he wins the republican nomination, well 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, in the meantime, trump is also throwing punches at his closest competitor in the gop race. Were talking about ted cruz. Hes again raising the question of whether the canadian born senator is eligible to hold the Nations Highest Office and now trump is finding an unexpected ally on capitol hill. Abcs tom llamas is on the campaign trail in iowa. Reporter as senator ted cruz drove through iowa today, donald trump tweeted him a helpful message ted, free legal advice, how to preempt democrats on citizen issue. Go to court. You will win. Thanks, but no thanks. Im not going to be taking legal advice any time soon from donald trump. Reporter trump relentlessly jabbing cruz for being born in canada. Do you believe senator ted cruz is a natural born citizen . I dont know, to be honest. Reporter and now, hes finding an unexpected ally in senator john mccain, someone he insulted last summer. Hes not a war hero. Hes a war hero. He is a war hero five and a half years hes a war hero because he was captured. I like people who werent captured. Reporter but despite their bad blood, mccain says he agrees with trump that cruz has some explaining to do. I think there is a question. Im not a constitutional scholar on that, but i think its worth looking into. I dont think its illegitimate to look into it. Reporter mccains comments, particularly notable since he, too, was born outside the u. S. , and faced questions about whether he was fit to be president. But mccain says his situation is different, because he was born on an American Military base in the panama canal zone. Whether legally, if you can become president. Do you have a problem . Oh, listen. It is no surprise, Everybody Knows that john mccain is going to endorse marco rubio. Reporter when he tells his life story, cruz talks about growing up in texas. So, i grew up in texas. Reporter he moved there when he was 4. But he never says anything about canada which surprised some supporters. I was surprised today, when he went through his bio, he just jumped right over that. I wanted him to speak to that, and he didnt. Reporter so, you think he should explain how he was born in canada and why . Well, at least just mention it. Reporter and we did speak with constitutional scholars. The general consensus is cruz is eligible to be president. The Supreme Court has never ruled on this issue. If cruz were to take this to court, the experts tell us, he would win. Tom llamas, webster city, iowa. Cold and rainy in iowa. That issue is gaining traction. Put it out there and then boom. A seemingly frantic dog in massachusetts did its best imitation of lassie running for help to save a friend in danger. Except that friend wasnt a danger like lassies owner timmy. It was another scottish terrier like himself. Jacques and annabell had run off into the woods near their home where they were missing for hours. Police tracked down jacques, but they couldnt find young annabelle. Jac led them to an embankment where a shivering annabelle was trapped at the bottom of a ravine. They rescued her. Both dogs are safe and at home this morning. I think thats a really cool story. And for the rescuers to let the dog lead them, you know yes, towards it. Especially for little dogs like that, you want to cuddle them up. Annabelles last name is skywalker. Annabelle skywalker. Tothat right in there. Yes. Coming up, insomniac theater. Leo dicaprios new movie and a horror show. Also ahead, a liver donor and the recipient sharing more than a transplant experience. The unbreakable bond. And the broken hearted man accused of a string of arson attacks on his groomsmen. Wait until you hear his explanation.
