considered extreme or exceptional in three-quarters of the state with rivers drying and fields unplanted, something's got to give. here's teri okita. >> reporter: in this mook community, house boats that should be floating sit on cried land. collapsed train trussles, underwater for 50 years are visible again. the area's main water sowrks lake mcclure is down to just 9% of capacity. >> the history of this rez vork we would be underwater right now now. >> reporter: john sweigard manages the merced irrigation network. >> we may get to the point where there is no water to release and that's a very scary proposition but it's also a proposition that's staring us straight in the eye. >> reporter: in december, residents here were ordered to cut water use by 30%. it wasn't enough. now homeowners like sally punte must cut consumption by half. >> we just hope that we're doing enough and you think before you poranything out. >> reporter: she doesn't even empty her bath tub collecting the used water in a bucket the district gave her and pouring it on what's left of her garden. what has this drought been like for you? >> devastating. really devastating. >> reporter: today, the state's water board began hammering out strict new measures to try to get californians to conserve 25% more water. the new rules may take months. >> thanks for coming out. >> reporter: but david klein isn't waiting. he installed this smart meter outside his long beach home to calculate his family's water use every five minutes. >> we're just trying to do as much as we can do in our little home. >>

even oprah who was giving a speech. local utility company pepco said that shortly before 1:00 p.m., a transmission line fell down at a maryland substation, causing a flash and a dip in voltage across the d.c. area. in a tweet the department of homeland security security said, "there's no indication of any malicious activity at this time." at the white house, the fountains went dry but backup generators kicked in after a few seconds. others weren't as lucky. state department spokeswoman marie harf used her iphone light to conduct the daily press briefing. with students stuck in elevators, the university of maryland closed campus and classes were halted at george washington university. d.c. metrotrains kept running on emergency power. escalators were a different story. pepco says all of the backup systems worked as they should. scott, most of the outages were cleared within a couple of hours, including here on the national mall, where tourists saw a different kind of d.c. gridlock today. >> pelley: julianna, thanks very much. there was a terrible accident this morning after the national celebration of n.c.a.a. basketball. seven people were killed when a private plane returning from the tournament crashed in bloomington, illinois. the cessna went down just short of the runway in heavy fog. among the dead are illinois state university's associate head basketball coach and a deputy athletic director. carbon monoxide killed eight people at a home in princess anne maryland. the bodies were discovered yesterday, and chip reid reports tonight the family seems to have made a tragic mistake. >> it hurts. it hurts. it hurts me. >> reporter: the grief was indescribable monday night after war learnedbonnie edwards learned 36-year-old rodney todd and all seven of his which were, ages 6-15 had died here in their home. the cause-- accidental poisoning by carbon monoxide that came from a generator todd had bought to keep his children warm after their power had been cut off. today, friends and neighbors left flowers and stuffed animals on the doorstep. around back, past the police tape were bicycles and bicycles and toy cars. >> i just want america to know he was a great father. he went beyond the call of duty for these kids. >> reporter: safers a close friend of the family. she says todd, who was divorced had full custody of the children and worked full time. he often needed help taking care of the kids. >> yeah, he made probably a crazy mistake by putting a generator on the inside of the house, but when you're thinking about your kids in the cold, all you think about is getting them warm. >> reporter: according to the centers forcenters for disease control and prevention unintentional exposure to carbon monoxide caused an average of 430 deathaise year nationwide between 1999 and 2010. rodney todd's family was last seen alive the weekend of march 28, when the low temperature was 26 degrees. today, delmarva power said just three days earlier, the company had discovered a stolen electric meter was being used at the home and disconnected the illegally connected meter for safety reasons. one of the many mysteries of this tragedy scott, is that in the past, rodney todd has applied for assistance from a local community service program to help pay his utility bills but this year, he did not even apply. and by the way, what you see behind me, scott is ray group of local boy scouts putting a tarp over that makeshift memorial to protect it from the rain. >> pelley: chip reid reporting for us tonight. chip, thank you. a federal jury began deliberating today in the boston marathon bombing trial. dzhokhar tsarnaev faces 30 charges, 17 of them carry the death penalty. no verdict yet. this is exactly the kind of case however, that involves homegrown terrorists radicalized online, the kind of terrorism that the f.b.i. is struggling to keep up with. jeff pegues has more on this. >> reporter: andrew mccabe is the man in charge of the f.b.i.'s washington field office and runs one of the bureau's largest and most robust counter-terror programs. but now he's concerned about the f.b.i.'s ability to track every potential homegrown terrorist. how does f.b.i. manpower keep up with all these threats? >> it is not hard to anticipate that as numbers begin to grow at some point, our traditional investigative approaches and capabilities will be outstripped by the sheer numbers we're facing. >> reporter: in just the last two weeks federal prosecutors have charge seven people in terrorism cases men and women. many cases are time consuming and involve lengthy undercover work. when prosecutors announced charges last week against two new york women, it was the culmination of a nearly two-year investigation. and a growing number of cases involve teenagers lured to isis by the group's slick social media presence. the group is enticing middle school and hool-aged students to sympathize with its cause, or even to travel to syria to join the fight. how young are you seeing? >> we've seen several cases recently of very young people, early and midteens. >> reporter: 11, 12, 13? >> i'm not going to go into specifics on exactly how young but we've seen some very disturbingly young people compelled to try to travel overseas. >> reporter: mccabe believes the f.b.i. has to broaden its reach by engaging even more with local police, local mosques community leaders and parents to counter the message. scott, it's an approach similar to what law enforcement has used to combat gangs in america's cities. >>

2:00 this afternoon. >> i like to say that i'm going to quit but i'd probably be lying to you. >> reporter: did you know sharing needles is risky? >> i think we all knew that, that was in the back of our minds. the number one priority was to to feeling better. >> reporter: austin, indiana sa place of high unemployment and low self-esteem, where some people dull the pain of everyday life with this current drug of choice. opana is stronger than oxycontin and easier to shoot up, but the sharing of dirty needles among users is feeding the hiv infection in this community. so this neighborhood is sort of the epicenter of the outbreak leer? >> this is one of the areas, yes. >> reporter: william cooke is a local doctor. >> all it takes is one, you know person that's hiv positive sharing needles. it spreads like wildfire in a situation like that. >> reporter: the crisis is so severe governor mike pence lifted indiana's ban on needle exchanges for 30 days so addicts here can replace dirty syringes with clean ones. >> these are what i got yesterday. i got 35 of them. that's enough to do me for a week. >> reporter: dr. cooke says the nation should take notice. >> i've described this community as a canary in the coal mine. this could happen anywhere. we're all austin, indiana. >> reporter: and one of the more disturbing things we heard around here, scott is that some elderly people have been trying to supplement their income by selling opana on the street instead of using it for pain relief as their doctors intended. >> pelley: dean reynolds reporting for us from indiana.
