gallons of water into area hospitals. >> we're going to continue to provide the water to the houses as long as we can sustain it, and we just don't know how long we can sustain that. >> firefighters and water system like most everyone here, pushed to their limits, but the struggle for many is still far from over. >> when it finally does stop raining and the floods recede then we have to deal with

case is different because it involves three different murders and it could last as long as six weeks so the initial round of questioning with prospective jurors just asks whether or not being here

three well-known alexandria residents and then opening fire, but one of the first things the judge is telling jurors, this will not be a death penalty case. 100 prospective jurors are being questioned

significant decline on the ridership. >> adam, there is a term in the transit industry called a death spiral. how close is metro to that? >> well, it's a very real thing. i didn't come up with the term, pat. it's a term that they use and basically what it signifies is that as ridership drops and revenue drop, transit agencies look for ways to make up the difference in cover thes so what they do is they raise fares. when you raise fares you encourage people to take the system which means ridership goes down and you have to raise fairs again and that's why they call it a death spiral and metro is not there yet, but they plan to -- >> how does metro expect to make up the revenue? >> it's a hard thing to try to figure out, pat. the reliability and the service quality just hasn't been there recently. you've had fares steadily go up and how do you bring more people back into the system? you're also dealing with more people riding bikes and more people taking care-sharing services like uber. metro says it's looking for ways to leverage its real estate options and as we know that only goes so far and there's only so much real estate around the metro stations that you can sell to make up the difference and metro has a tough task coming up. >> all right. adam tuss, thanks, adam. this morning, kids at secondary school had an out of this world experience in fairfax county. they were
