Tonight the big apple is a big mess, and tens of millions of americans are experiencing torrential rain and record flooding. Heavy downpours are expected to continue through the night and into saturday in the northeast, with remnants of Tropical Storm ophelia lingering. Large parts of the nations most populous city, new york, were paralyzed today, subway lines turned into waterfalls and buses looked more like boats. Residents are urged to stay indoors, as dangerous flooding covers entire neighborhoods. Record rainfall is falling across the city with manhattans central park getting more than 4 inches in just three hours. Weve got Team Coverage tonight starting with cbss Errol Barnett from a waterlogged brooklyn. Good evening, errol. Reporter hey, norah, good evening. Look, the issue in this part of the country is that the ground is just fully saturated with rain falling 17 out of the last 18 weekends and much of this last week. In fact, the historic rainfall in this part of the country is on par right now with a once in 100year event. Brooklyn was in the bullseye today with a torrential storm overwhelming city streets. More than half a foot of rain fell, bringing with it lifethreatening flooding. If youre at home, stay home. If youre at work or school, shelter in place. Reporter those floods made travel treacherous. Countless drivers were stuck when the water overtook busy highways. One driver seen with their legs out the window. Cbss Carolyn Gusoff is and also in the flood zone. Streets like this one flooded out, cars stranded, officials are urging folks not to go out on foot or by car tonight. Many will be staying home out of necessity, drying out flooded basements and garages.

Floodwaters overtook buses and this terminal at laguardia airport, where almost a quarter of flights were canceled. Jfk airport seeing its wettest day on record. At least 8 inches of rain. Back in brooklyn, parents rushed through the danger to pick up their middle School Children early. Theres a big flood downstairs in the basement. Its chaotic. In the auditorium. Reporter in flatbush, one of the hardest Hit Neighborhoods in brooklyn, Michael Earls showed his flooded basement. We had a similar one last year. This is by far the worst. Reporter where ankledeep water swept in, leaving this brown sewage. When you see the images of the flooding, i would imagine theres a certain sense of panic as well. Yeah, for sure. When you see brown water coming into your basement and you dont know when its going to stop, it really makes you panic. Reporter meanwhile, new jersey also remains under a State Of Emergency tonight as streets sit underwater. While parts of connecticut are approaching 5 inches of rainfall. The rain just picked up again. The Grand Army Plaza Subway Station behind me remains closed tonight after it was flooded. Im seeing plenty of confused commuters all around me. The mayor, the governor, and the Mass Transit Authority advise everyone to just use extra caution getting anywhere. Norah. Norah a miserable friday night for so many. Errol barnett, thank you. For how long this record rain and historic flooding will be around, lets bring in meteorologist mike seidel of our partners at the weather channel. Good evening, mike. Good evening, norah. Lets show you how it all came about. Look at the Satellite Photo and the radar. Everything coming up the east coast, the jet stream, the lowlevel flow from the east northeast like it has for days and the rain over the same area. What we call training. How about New York Citys central park now, almost 14. 5 inches. Their fourth wettest september on record. They have had plenty of rainfall and its still raining tonight, mostly east of the city. On long island into connecticut and Southern New England where Flood Watches continue at least through saturday morning. Heres the forecast, heavy rain will move out of long island and connecticut. Tomorrow morning, most of the heavy rain will be off the coast. Still some showers around boston and providence. Then by sunday, norha, get this, for the first time in nine days, the sun will shine in the northeast and here in New York City and it will shine for four or five days in a row. Nobodys complaining about that. In fact, thats all theyre asking about tonight. When do we see the sun . Norah i know. Hopefully very soon. Mike seidel, thank you so much. From a Natural Disaster to a manmade one by congress, with just one day to go before a Government Shutdown. Lawmakers appear to be no closer to finding a deal to keep the lights on. Cbss Scott Macfarlane is on capitol hill, where time is running out. Reporter with soldiers, Border Patrol agents, and air Traffic Controllers among the millions facing the prospect of losing their paychecks. The bill is not passed. Reporter a plan to keep the federal government open failed in the u. S. House. You think a shutdown is inevitable at this point . Imminent, inevitable. Its going to happen. Reporter House Speaker Kevin Mccarthy tried to pass a Spending Bill with only republican votes and lost more than 20 members of his own party. What is the logical next step, mr. Speaker . Keep working and making sure we solve this problem. Reporter mccarthy has refused to work with democrats to avert a shutdown, afraid the farright flank of his party will push him out of the speakership. But with no breakthrough before 12 01 a. M. Sunday, more than 1 million Military Members will go without pay. President biden said republicans are failing the troops. Its an absolute dereliction of duty. Reporter alice silver is the wife of a coast guard Petty Officer and mother of two in virginia. Times are hard as it is and a Paycheck Being missed is a big problem. We are normal people who really, really need paid. And its not fair. Reporter the shutdown puts at risk the federal wic Program Providing Grocery Assistance to nearly 7 million women and children, including emily church from ohio. I have a lot of different emotions. I think, though, that in the end, im just saddened by it. Reporter federal workers do get backpay after a shutdown ends, but it often takes time. Federal contractors like maintenance and Cafeteria Workers may not. But norah, members of congress, they get paid throughout. Norah and thats what makes people outraged. Scott macfarlane, thank you so much. Tonight, tributes are pouring in for senator Dianne Feinstein. She died last night at 90 years old. In recent months, there was growing concern over her health and her ability to govern. But she voted on the senate floor hours before her death and as the statement from her office read feinstein never backed away from a fight. I do have a point of view. Norah Dianne Feinstein was a trailblazer. I have found that being a woman isnt a disadvantage. Norah whose career was forged by triumph and tragedy. Both mayor moscone and supervisor harvey milk have been shot and killed. Oh norah she tried to save the life of harvey milk when he was assassinated in 1978 and then became the first female mayor of san francisco. Walter mondale considered her as a running mate in 1984. I view that as a major opening of the door. Norah in 1992, she became californias first female senator and introduced legislation that effectively banned Assault Weapons for a decade. Militarystyle Assault Weapons have no place in our society. Norah she fought again for that ban after it expired in 2004. Im not a sixthgrader. Senator, ive been on this committee for 20 years. Norah she was also the first chairwoman of the intelligence committee, challenging the cia on its interrogation techniques. The cias actions a decade ago are a stain on our value and on our history. Norah and in recent years was the champion of dr. Christine blassey ford and her allegations against now Justice Brett kavanaugh. And never before have we had a nominee facing allegations of sexual assault. Norah tonight, flags are at halfstaff across washington in honor of the longestserving female senator. Whether we like it or not, we are our sisters keeper. We do open doors for one another. Norah and she did open doors. Senator feinstein was 90 years old, and now californias governor, gavin newsom, will appoint someone to finish her term. The first codefendant of donald trump pleaded guilty today in the Georgia Election interference case. Bail bondsman scott hall is accused of trying to breach Election Equipment to access voter data. Hes 1 of 19 defendants indicted for trying to overturn the 2020 election in that state. Hall will receive five years of probation and hes agreed to testify. Now to the shocking arrest in the murder of rapper and music icon tupac shakur nearly three decades after his death. Cbss Jonathan Vigliotti reports the suspect has been long linked to the 1996 shooting. Today justice will be served in the murder of tupac shakur. Reporter more than 27 years had passed since legendary rapper tupac shakur was gunned down near the las vegas strip. There had been no arrest until now. A clark county grand jury has indicted Duane Keith Davis with one count of open murder. Reporter now 60, davis had been linked to the case for years, even admitting in a 2019 memoir that he was in the car during the driveby shooting. Police today showed hotel Surveillance Video of a gang fight they say incited the attack on shakur. Hands on top of your head right now reporter in july, davis nevada home was searched. Police seized several items. Shakur was just 25 but already a hiphop icon, with 75 million records sold. I like to think im a rebel. Im revolutionary. Reporter his music still relevant today, a life that ended too soon. Davis has denied firing the weapon, though prosecutors say he did call the shots which is enough to warrant a Murder Charge in the state of nevada. He will appear in Court Next Week for arraignment, norah. Norah Jonathan Vigliotti, thank you very much. The auto workers strike expanded today as it entered its third week. 7,000 more workers are joining the picket lines, the strike now targeting a ford plant in chicago and a General Motors Assembly Factory near lansing, michigan. About 25,000 of the unions 146,000 workers at the Big Three Automakers are now on strike. With the Government Shutdown just a day away, theres another deadline that could also have serious consequences for families. Billions of dollars in pandemic era Child Care Funding is set to expire, meaning millions of parents could lose a vital service. Cbss nancy cordes takes an indepth look at this looming crisis. Reporter like many preschools, Hopkins House in alexandria, virginia, is still bouncing back from the pandemic when it lost nearly half its staff. But the head of Hopkins House is bracing for another blow next week. We are at the precipice of a major cliff, and unfortunately as we look over that cliff, its not water that we are jumping into. All i see is hard ground. Reporter thats because 24 billion worth of covid era Emergency Funding for the child Care Industry is set to expire on saturday. We keep our hands to ourselves. Good job reporter that money went to boost salaries and add benefits in a field where workers only make on average 14 an hour. We project that about 70,000 Child Care Providers could close. Reporter julie kashen is a senior fellow at the century foundation, a progressive think tank, which estimates that this socalled Child Care Cliff could cause up to 3. 2 million children to lose their spots. First theyll raise their prices and then they will shut a classroom, and then they will close. Reporter where do all those kids go . Thats exactly the challenge. Reporter Congressional Democrats are pushing to extend the funding, 16 billion a year for the next five years. Letting this funding expire is fiscally irresponsible. Reporter but with republicans still fighting over how to fund the government, a deal on this is unlikely. We cant do everything. So the fair question is, where is the money going to come from . Reporter Glenn Hopkins worries hell lose more staff to a nearby amazon operation where they can make up to 20 an hour. This shouldnt even be a conversation. This is about an investment in the future generation. Reporter the investors are still on the fence. Nancy cordes, cbs news. Washington.

Norah Mountain Climbers call it the seven summits challenge, reaching the highest peak on all seven continents. Cbss Steve Hartman found a man with a similar goal a bit closer to the ground on the road. Reporter not since early explorers came here to florida in search of the fountain of youth has there been a crazier quest than that of 47yearold andrew karr. The Amateur Climber and professional French Horn Player admits hes obsessed. We all have things that grab us, you know. And i just found myself just charmed by this. Reporter andrew is what they call a county high pointer. These are people who try to clclimb to the highest point of every county in a given state, typically colorado. Andrew spent some time there doing it but now teaches at the University Of South Florida and lives in tampa, which got him wondering. Could he climb floridas high points . Unfortunately florida makes kansas look like kilimanjaro. Its arguably the Flattest State in the nation. Doesnt have any high points, really. But if you want to get technical, topographical, and you are truly desperate for adventure, it can be done. And andrew karr is doing it using maps and apps and good oldfashioned sightlines. I feel like were going up. Reporter Andrew Pinpoints every peak. This is potentially the Mount Everest of union county. [laughs] reporter this one was in a wellmanicured public place but other county high points are Deep In The Woods or on private property. I think that tree over there is it. Reporter in this case, the home of debbie mitchell. Do you think its at all strange that somebody drove all the way from tampa to stand in your yard . Yeah. Reporter okay. This isnt even his most absurd ascent. Pinellas county, countryside mall, front door of jcpenneys is a strong contender. I bought a shirt at that one. Reporter Sir Edmund Hillary he is not. But andrew says so what and has now hit the high points of almost every one of floridas 67 counties. On any adventure and also in life in general, you have to make the most of wherever you are. Reporter maybe theres a lot more adventures out there waiting for people than they realize. Absolutely. And every peak is equal. Reporter every peak is equal, he says. Because attitude trumps altitude. Whether youre conquering colorados front range or just debbies front yard. Can i go up here . Yeah, absolutely. Reporter Steve Hartman. On the road high above florida. Norah and that is tonights Cbs Evening News. Im norah odonnell. Good night and i hope you have a great journey this.
