At least one person is dead. Theres more flooding in mississippi and alabama. Omar villafranca is in amit city, louisiana. Reporter in tangipahoa parish, louisiana, rains flooded 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 floorpts proved deadly. A 68yearold man was killed after he was swept away while trying to escape. Drum was his friend. He got over and he went under and didnt come back up. Reporter several drivers in amit city teamed up to help an elderly man to safety who was trapped in his car. Jordan temple got to him first.

More than 70 roads have 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. Lonnie why is this happening . Reporter the culprit is a lowpressure system kind of acting like a paddle wheel sitting over louisiana, spinning and spinning and pulling if the gulf moisture and dumping it on top of louisiana. Heres the problem its like stuck in a traffic jam. It cant move forward. It cant move backwards. There are system on boabt sides of it. They have bikd up 10 inches in some shots. The spots shaded in yellow could pick up 812 inches of rain and that same low pressure system is pumping in the hot, moist air all the way up to the 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 milliondollar question right there. I can tell you probably not any time soon. Until the High Pressure system exits, maybe not until the end of next week. Pelley lonnie quinn, thank you so much. Today, can Hillary Clinton turned up the heat on donald trump to 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, it will 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 charity, almost all of it to the 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 of republicans criticizing 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. Un, when youre under a routine 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. Trump campaign put out a Statement Today responding to clinton. Scott, it resident in part, Hillary Clinton has turned over the the only records nobody wants to 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. Reporter in a bid to dispel persistent talk of disunity in republican ranks, this afternoon, Party Chairman Reince Priebus introduced donald trump in pennsylvania. Dont believe the garbage you read. 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 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 pact. Just so you not my fault. Not my fault. Its a tougher pabt. Reporter the difficulty of that journey is not helped by the almost daily 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. But now theyre analyzing. These people are the lowest form 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 marriage speech outlining his policy to combat terrorism. Pelley another battleground state. Dean reynolds, thanks. Well, with 88 days to election day, clinton has about an eightpoint lead, on average, in national polls. But the election is not decided by the popular vote. Its about winning enough states to get 270 electeral 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 of elections, is here to tell us about the 11 states that could go either way. Well, scott, lets take a look at those state. We call them the battlegrounds because theyre usually the closest, 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. Will will well, if you look at the polling leads that Hillary Clinton now has, even in some of theses states and well light them up in blue to show you she would today have enough electoral votes across those states to get 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 over that magic number, which 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 report are 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 today, this rescue worker plucks an unconscious child off a dead body. Injured children are taken to the few remaining medical facilities in rebelcontrol 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 Hospital in the area. 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 the hospital bombing, not even to deny it. Pelley debora patta in the the syrian capital, debora, thank you. Today, the National Transportation safety board said it may now hold the answers to a Bermuda Triangle mystery. After months of searching, the voyage data recorder from the american cargo ship elpharaoh, is in a lab for analysis. El faro, and its crew of 33, were lost last fall. The data recorder in this black box should contain the conversations of the captain and bridge crew in their final hours. The safety boards brian curtis says the the recorder is in good shape. We owe it to those who perished, the families and loved ones, to learn all we can from this tragedy. Pelley last october, off the bahamass, the cargo ship sailed into hurricane joaquin, with winds close to 130 miles per hour, and 30foot seas. In a story for 60 minutes, we joined the search aboard the u. S. Navy ship apache, with the n. T. S. B. s tom rothrofi. What do we know from the captains last report . We know he had lost propulsion, that the engineers were unable to restart the main engine. Pelley the the apache crew discovered the el pharaoh at the 23,000 feet. The bridge and crew quarters had been sheered away. Just to see the violence of the the sea and the winds that would have had to occur to cause that kind of 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. 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.

One of the patients today is located outside the onesquaremile area of miami where the mosquito transmission is thought to be contained. Dr. Jon lapook is here with us. Jon, does that mean the virus is getting outside that containment zone . Reporter well, the virus may be getting outside it, the but the question is, are mosquitos outside that zone infected with zika . And thats the big question. So far i just spoke to the daelg, 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 oneoffs, people here and people there, outside that year, the question is is it because they got infected within that zika zone socalled and then traveled or are there now local mosquitos somewhere else that have the zika virus . There is Important News on zika coming out of puerto rico this evening. Evening. Reporter right, you know, scott puerto rico is being devastated by the zika infection and the United States government is declare a Public Health emergency. Just this week, there were nearly 2,000 new caeses reported which would bring the total to over 10,000. The u. S. Surgeon general was there yesterday and said by the end of the year, one in four people there will have the virus. So declaring it a Public Health emergency would allow emergency funds and other resources to be allocated to that area. Pelley dr. Jon lapook, thanks. Coming up, soaring simone.

Donald trump doesnt understand the weight of sending americans into harms way. Hes unfit to be president. Priorities usa action is responsible for the content of this advertising. Pelley the breakout stars of the olympics yesterday, both happened to be named simone. Ben tracy is in rio. Reporter she soared off the vault, was a boss on the the beam, and simply owned the floor. By the 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 ever, were talking about her 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 100meter freestyle. She is the first African American woman to win an individual medal in swimming. The 20yearold texan is a student at stanford but was only 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 has three more events left here 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. But no gold for u. S. Women in soccer. In the quarter finals today, it was 11 at the final whistle, so it came down to penalties and sweden won 43. It was an agonizing loss for the fourtime olympic champions.

All right, whos next . Go reporter outside milwaukee, wisconsin, theres a kids camp that has all the makings of a typical summer camp. Except the kids who come here share one exceptional bond. Throughout the whole camp, you always have supporters. It was easy to make friends because we were all so similar. Reporter since 9 11, 5,000 kids have lost a parent because of war. And a few years ago, camp Hometown Hero started as a way to bring those kids from across the country together. This is james house. His dad, john, a navy medic, died in a Helicopter Crash in iraq. That was in 2005 when james was just a month old. Can you explain to me how can you miss somebody so much that you never met, really . I miss him because hes my dad. I might not have met him in person, but hes always with me.

At school, when fathers day passes, thats a big deal. And everyones making little fathers day cards, and a get a little sad. And they say, i know how you feel. Reporter but its not same. Its not same. And here, i get to cry and they can say, i know how you feel, and i know they know how i feel. And thats a great feeling. Reporter for many of the kids, this is their first chance to just let it out. To help in that effort, they do a balloon release where campers write messages to their loved oneses. Dylan simon lost his dad in 05. Dylan was a camper here for four years, but this year, hes back as a counselor. My first balloon release was one of the hardest because i had to physically let go of everything that he was holding on to over the years. One, two, three reporter a the lot of kids say the balloon release is the best part of camp, and at first, we could not understand why. Theres nothing you could say to a kid to make them feel better when someone is gone forever. Reporter but then something magical happened. The kids started reaching out to one another. Not a word was said because not a word was needed, proving that sometimes all it takes to let go is the right person to hold on to. Steve hartman, on the road, near milwaukee, wisconsin.
