Pelley this is our western edition. Louisiana is under a state of emergency tonight after intense storms dumped as much as three inches of rain an hour. Livingston, louisiana, got 17 inches, and its not over. At least one person is dead. Theres more flooding in mississippi and alabama. Omar villafranca is in amite city, louisiana. Reporter in tangipahoa parish, louisiana, rains f out businesses and entire neighborhoods. Motorists abandoned their vehicles and homeowners were forced to evacuate. My house is completely flooded and i have never flooded before. Reporter emergency crews went after those who couldnt get out on their own, using boats and highwater vehicles to take stranded neighbors and pets to higher ground. Residents chipped in. Where is all this water supposed to go reporter but in baton rouge, the rising floodwaters proved after he was swept away while trying to escape. Vernon drummond was his friend. He got over and he went under and didnt come back up. Reporter several drivers in amite city teamed up to help an elderly man to safety who was trapped in his car. Jordan temple got to him first. I just told him, you know, dont panic. Im here for you. Im going to get you out of these waters. Im going to rescue you. Reporter since last night, more than 16 inches of rain has fallen, causing several rivers to overflow. Closed. Officials are warning drivers to stay off the road. 24 people were evacuated from this apartment complex behind me. The good news is, the water is receding. At one point, it was waist high. But, scott, there is more rain in the forecast. Pelley omar villafranca, thanks. Lonnie quinn is chief weathercaster at our flagship station in new york, wcbs. Reporter well, the culprit here is a lowpressure system, that is kind of acting like a paddle wheel and its sitting right over louisiana, spinning and spinning and pulling in the gulf moisture and dumping it on top of louisiana. And heres the problem its like stuck in a traffic jam. It cant move forward. It cant move backwards. There are systems on both sides of it. So it just continues to rain. They have already picked up 10 inches or more in some spots. They could pick up another four to eight. And the spots shaded in yellow could pick up 812 inches of rain and that same low pressure system is pumping in that hot, moist air ale northeast. These are the feellike temperatures from earlier today. Felt like 113 in dallas, 105 in houston. Pelley i can hear the audience yelling, when does this end . Thats probably the Million Dollar question right there. I can only tell you, it doesnt look like any time soon. Because you have that traffic jam until that leading High Pressure system exits, nothing changes. The earliest that happens is maybe next week, maybe not until the end of next week. Pelley lonnie quinn, wcbs, thank you so much. Release his tax returns. She did it by releasing hers for 2015. Heres chip reid. Reporter hillary and bill clinton filing jointly made about 10. 7 million last year. Most of it was speaking fees, 5. 3 million for him, 1. 5 million for her. She also got 3 million for her book, hard choices. Their federal tax rate was 34. 2 . They gave about 1 million to Clinton Family foundation, which is separate from the controversial clinton foundation. But clinton didnt just release her taxes. She used them as a club to try to bludgeon donald trump into releasing his. It began yesterday in detroit. Because he refuses to do what every other president ial candidate in decades has done, and release his tax returns. Reporter the Clinton Campaign also released a video trumps refusal to turn over his taxes. He doesnt want to do it because presumably theres something in there that is bad. Reporter trump said last night on fox news, hes being audited and has no choice. When youre under a routinene audit, you dont give out your tax return. Reporter the i. R. S. , though, says candidates may release their tax returns, even while undergoing an audit. The Trump Campaign put out a Statement Today responding to clinton. Scott, it reads in part, Hillary Clinton has turned over see from her. The American Public wants to see the 33,000 emails she deleted to obstruct an f. B. I. Investigation. Pelley chip reid, thank you. Well, trump was in a battleground state today, where the Republican Party rushed in reinforcements. Heres dean reynolds. Reince priebus reporter in a bid to dispel persistent talk of disunity in republican ranks, this afternoon, Party ChairmanReince Priebus introduced donald trump in pennsylvania. Let me tell you something donald trump, the Republican Party, all of you were going to put him in the white house and save this country together reporter but the surprise b onstage embrace came amid plenty of backstage bickering between trump forces and the Republican National committee. Discord that must end for trump to have a chance in this state and elsewhere. The republicans do have a tougher path. Just so you not my fault. Not my fault. Its a tougher path. Reporter the difficulty of that journey is not helped by the almostdaily controversies spawned by the candidates own words. The latest . I call president obama and Hillary Clinton the founders of isis. Reporter trump repeated the false charge several times yesterday, and with a straight face. But today, he denounced reporters for taking him literally. Obviously, im being sarcastic. Then, then but not that sarcastic, to be honest with you. These people are the lowest forp of life. Reporter scott, mr. Trump is on stage right behind me. And you know, he tends to get into trouble when he veers off message and starts attacking his perceived enemies. But he will have little room for improvisation on monday when he goes to ohio to deliver a major speech outlining his policy to combat terrorism. Pelley another battleground state. Dean reynolds, tha well, with 88 days to election day, clinton has about an eight point lead, on average, in national polls. But the election is not decided by the popular vote. Its about winning enough states to get 270 electoral votes. And there, if the election were held today, clinton would have a massive advantage. Most states are either reliably republican or reliably democratic. Anthony salvanto, our director about the 11 states that could go either way. Well, scott, lets take a look at those states. We call them the battlegrounds, because theyre usually the closest, the most contested. These go across the country here from nevada, colorado, all the way out to pennsylvania, virginia, and, of course, we always talk about ohio and florida. Well, if you look at the polling leads that Hillary Clinton now has, even in just some of these states and well light them up in blue to show you she would today have enough electoral votes across those states to g over the 270 that she needs to get elected. Pelley what could trump do to turn this around . Well, his path is in danger of getting very narrow. Let me show you. Lets suppose donald trump were to win florida and ohio. Well light those up in red. That still wouldnt get him enough to go over the 270 that he needs. He would also have to flip, lets say, pennsylvania, a state that he was in today, to get him tells you, scott, that he still has a difficult road ahead of him. Pelley a tough hill to climb. Anthony salvanto, our director of elections, thanks so much. Well, the next president will be facing syrias civil war, where 400,000 people have been killed. Tonight, in syrias largest city, aleppo, rebels are holding out under Syrian Government and russian air strikes. But civilians are being slaughtered. Debora patta is inside syria. The images in her rere hard to watch, but should be seen. Reporter over a dozen reported dead in rebelheld aleppo today. Just another statistic in the countrys fiveyear civil war. But for the villagers of al hayan on the outskirts of the city, these victims were not numbers. They were mothers, sisters, and as always, children. In video footage posted online an unconscious child off a dead body. Injured children are taken to the few remaining medical facilities in rebelcontrolled aleppo, but instead of being safe havens, they have become targets. Just 24 hours after the last remaining doctors wrote to president obama for help, this Childrens Hospital was hit in an air strike. The equipment was smashed, services all but demolished. This was the only childrens in rebelheld aleppo, a medical facility is attacked every 17 hours, say doctors, and so the statistics mount. In aleppo, there is always someone who has to deliver the worst possible news. Here in damascus, scott, there was no mention of these incidents anywhere on staterun media and no Syrian Government official would talk to us about pelley debora patta in the syrian capital. Debora, thank you. Today, the National Transportation safety board said it may now hold the answers to r Bermuda Triangle mystery. After months of searching, the voyage data recorder from the american cargo ship el faro, is in a lab for analysis. El faro, and its crew of 33, were lost last fall.

Pelley the apache crew discovered the el faro at 15,000 feet, deeper than the titanic. The el faros bridge and crew quarters had been sheared away. Just to see the violence of the sea and the winds that would have had to occur to cause that im sorry. To cause that kind of an event. Pelley because, certainly, there would have been people on the bridge. Yes. Pelley when that happened . Yes. Quite certainly. El pelley that event was so violent, the data recorder was nowhere near the ship. The safety board believes it will take weeks to extract all of its information.

Jon, does that mean the virus is getting outside that containmenn zone . Reporter well, the virus may be getting outside it, but the question is, are the mosquitoes outside that zone infected with zika . And thats the big question. So far i just spoke to the department of health, a representative in florida, and she said theres no evidence of any spread, active spread of the virus outside of that wynwood area. But when you see these little there, outside that area, the question is, is it because they got infected within that zika zone, socalled, and then traveled . Or are there now local mosquitoes somewhere else that have the zika virus . Pelley there is Important News on zika coming out of puerto rico this evening. Reporter right, you know, scott, puerto rico has been absolutely devastated is being devastated by the zika infection, and the United States government is declaring a Public Health emergency.

Pelley the breakout stars of the olympics yesterday, both reporter she soared off the vault, was a boss on the beam, and simply owned the floor. By the time 19yearold simone biles was through, she was officially what everybody already knew she was the best gymnast in the world. I was composed until i saw, like, my score, and then it finally hit me that i had done it, and then i lost it. Its like, everything that has led me up to this moment has paid off, and its all been worth it. Reporter she won by the largest margin in 50 years, in part due to this move in the floor exercise, now known simply as the biles. What she does on the floor is absolutely incredible. Reporter Shannon Miller has won more olympic medals than any other american gymnast. When we talk about simone biles being the greatest, if not the greatest female gymnast power, her consistency, her difficult skills because she just kind blows the rest of the world out of the water. Reporter in the water, another simone made history. There is a tie for gold reporter Simone Manuel seemed as surprised as everyone else when she won the gold and set a world record in the 100 meter freestyle. She is the first African American woman to win an individual medal in swimming. The 20yearold texan is a t four when she swam the entire length of a pool. Manuel hopes to be the first of many in a sport that currently has few people of color. I feel like people are becoming more aware of the sport and saying, oh, we can do this, too. So i think seeing people like them will get them sparked into trying something new. Reporter Simone Manuel swims again tonight in the 50meter freestyle. As for simone biles, well, she in rio, so, scott, that means three more potential gold medals to add to the two that she already has. Pelley ben tracy at the games for us. Ben, thanks very much.
