Im Melanie Zanona in washington and this is cnn hello again, everyone. Thank you so much for joining me on for greek of whitfield and we begin with the dangerous weather situation okay. Texas that could get even more treacherous this weekend, heavy downpours and parts of the state have swept away vehicles, damaged homes, and triggering evacuations some areas have gotten hit with almost two feet of Rain Triggering widespread flooding and more rain is in the forecast cnn correspondent rosa flores as in houston for us. So rosa, People Living in the flood ravaged communities are bracing for more rain. And i see the air boats behind you. Theyre ready for evacuations, are picking up people this just happened in the last few seconds fred, so ive actually havent been able to talk to them other than one individual who just got off this vote and said that there was water in his house and he literally was just rescued but this is literally happening as were going live. So i havent talked to to them yet, but let me set the scene for you because this is just an extraordinary amount of water that has a fallen in this area and is impacting real people and real communities. This road that im on leads to an area that has that has waterfall current property that you cant see anymore because the San Jacinto River just swallowed this road and you can see that people are using jet ski hey, its right now to get around instead of cars because the river swallowed the road and just to give you a sense, this road limb leads to what Community City that has many homes in the rib and the rio villa area. But fred, you cant see any of these homes. You cant see the road and you see that people are using air boats, are simply boats to get around right now that we have a map of the Evacuation Area and that gives you what . In what part of the City Of Houston and Harris County that we are in right now because it is the north east part of that area. Its where the san jacinto East Fork Sayyed of the river is now the tour that he river as just east of there and there, there are issues down both of those rivers, those of course, empty out into the gulf of mexico. Now, we do have a video of some of the rescues that are happening. I just got off the phone with the Houston Office of Emergency Management and they tell me that a rescues are happening, but also that they are trying to vince people to evacuate if they are in these Evacuation Zones and all you have to see is what you see behind me, this river that has swallowed up a road. And you can see the current. This is not normal, this is not supposed to be when youre seeing here, youre supposed to be seeing a road cars driving by and instead, you see a Roaring River thats emptying and to obey which that bay empties out into the gulf of mexico. Now about the number of people who are impacted, i asked as any of Houston Office of Emergency Management that question and they say that they dont know at this point theyre best estimate is that hundreds of homes are impacted, but they havent been out to do damage just testaments. Those will be happening on monday. So on monday, well get a better sense as to the number of individuals who are impacted, the number of homes who are impacted. Now, fred, one of the biggest frustrations for First Responders right now is individuals who are moving barricades from roads and trying to drive through rising water. Not only is this dangerous for the individuals who are in those vehicles, but you can imagine fred, that this creates a nightmare for First Responders because its First Responders who have to go into dangerous areas to rescue these individuals and the office of Emergency Management put it like this for any of the people who are trying to do this, you dont know whats in the water. Not only are there reptiles, snakes nutria if you dont even know what a nutrient is, you dont want to find out, you dont want to go into the rising water. Theres could there could be chemicals. And this individual that i talked to you from the office of Emergency Management said that there was even people in swimsuits trying to go during to enjoy the Flood Floodwaters they say that is not what you want to do. And fred, as we look ahead for the next day or so, were expecting more rain and thats why officials here are urging individuals who are in the evacuation zone. First of all, to evacuate, to leave those homes and also to be very cognizant checking checking on their neighbors. And of course, if there are barricades and roads and look like this, just dont do it. Turn around, right is what theyre what theyre recommending for individuals. Of course and, you know, ready, youre underscoring how deceiving it can be, right . Because while the water behind can you in some pockets looks rather placid, maybe some folks find that very inviting. Like you said, to walk through drivethrough or even try to swim, theyre currents when its very unpredictable and hopefully people will find out and learn earn, and he to the warnings very quickly not to try to traverse it, not to try to drive through it. But like you said, turnaround, dont drown. A rosa flores. Thank you so much. Were going to check back with you and hopefully will also find out where the people in the air boats went off to who theyre trying to help or assist in all of this. Thank you. Re joining me right now as well. Is haley atoms and meteorologists for the National WeatherService Office in houston and gas pelvis and haley great to see you. So were talking about one to two inches of rain expected today, right . What are the big concerns that come with that . So of course we already have widespread flooding going on generally north of the city so of course that additional rainfall is not going to help matters in any case our main concern is for the next 24 next 24 hours really . Through sunday night, expecting another complex that thunderstorms that should be rolling through and could be dumping anywhere from one to three inches, average. But were seeing some potential swaths of higher amounts, four to eight inches possible within that watch area and then we currently have oh, go ahead. Sorry go ahead i was just going to say that we currently have a flood watch out for the area through sunday night. Okay. And then lets talk about what some five day rain totals in parts of texas and louisiana are reporting when theyre talking about 20 inches of rain in a very short period of time in parts of texas. And louisiana, very flat. A lot of this water doesnt have anywhere to go some of them like in houston, right along the river of the San Jacinto River. So help people understand you know, how this concentration of water what its resulted in. I mean not a lot of this water has any were to go. Its only accumulating and some places when i talked to Emergency Management a little bit of go in the water has even in credit, hasnt even crested in some areas, and its already dangerously high right so even before this event, we had another rainfall event, so our soils were already pretty saturated so you add on all this rainfall that weve gotten into last week and it just its created a mess and over the last seven days, weve had portions of northeast Harris County received just over 11 inches of rain in the last week and in the Lake Livingston area, thats in polk county . That location, weve seen some reports of around 20 inches of rain in the last week alone closer to the city and generally south of ai tin. Weve seen less rainfall in those areas one to three inches isolated, four inches in the week, but i would say north of the city around Lake Livingston area, huntsville. Have seen an enormous around amount of rain in the last week alone. And of course, as i mentioned earlier, weve had rainfall prior to that. So this rainwater really hasnt had anywhere to go. And you tack on the rivers nearby with that its created a really big mess here, right . So were talking about more rain today when, when is the big dry out . When is that going to happen . Whats the longterm forecasts over the next few days, i should say all right, so were hoping that these storms move through an exit tomorrow night, sunday night we might see some lingering showers monday, but not as widespread is what were expecting for tonight through sunday and then the main concern after that becomes the heat and you have all this water that has been sitting there and draws moisture coupled with the increasing temperatures. Next thing that were going to be worried about as those Recovery Efforts with a key going on, were going to see heat index values reached to the triple digits. So thats gonna be our next focus.

Hes meeting with Top Republican donors and potential running mates at the Annual Rnc Spring Retreat near his florida home cnns Alayna Treene during now from palm beach, elena. Good to see you. So what do we know about trumps plans for the weekend right . While fred theyre wrapping up now a fundraiser being held at his marrow logo club in palm beach. When ive talked to people, they said lara trump, his daughterinlaw, and shes to cochair of the rnc, as well as the rnc chairman michael whatley. They were some of the featured speakers alongside donald trump. And a lot of people in the room. As you mentioned, who could potentially be one of Donald TrumpsVice President ial picks, people like ohio senator j. D. Vance two of his former republican primary challenges heres tim scott and doug burgum, all of them in the room brushing shoulders with the former president this weekend. And i do just want to be clear though, fred, when i speak to Donald Trumps team, they insist that hes still a long ways away from deciding who his running mate is going to be. They expect that decision tend to be made closer to the Republican National convention in july. However, its still a really Good Opportunity for them to brush shoulders with the former president and show him his support. Now another interesting figure who is also here this weekend at the Rnc Retreat In Palm Beach each theyre all staying at the four seasons is south dakota governor kristi noem. Of course, she has been at the center of a lot of headlines lately over some of the excerpts and her book including one where she describes shooting and killing her dog. Shes been trying to do Damage Control for the last week or so around that and shes here as well. And so im eager to hear what that reception has been like and hoping to bring you some more of that news later today. Okay. I think everyones intrigued to hear about that as well. Alayna treene, make you so much all right. On monday, donald trump will return to a new york courtroom as testimony in his Hush Money Trial continues the second week of testimony wrapped up on friday with a day of dramatic testimony from one of his top former officials, hope hicks, the former White House Communications director, look noticeably uncomfortable as she avoided eye contact tasked with her former boss while on the stand, she described the fallout from the access Hollywood Tape and the Trump White House response to stories about hush money payments. And after a key moment in her testimony, she began crying, joining me right now to talk more about the trial as cnn legal analyst, jennifer rodgers, she is a former federal prosecutor. Jennifer great to see you. So let me start with that dramatic moment. Where hope hicks started to cry on the witness stand. How might that impact a jury . Well, i think fred really the issue is that she was very believable. I think that her discomfort she started crying at the end of the direct examination before she was asked any questions on cross, and most people who were in the room who ive heard relay what happens, said that it seemed like she just kind of real lysed. She had said some things that could hurt her former mentor and the former President Donald Trump. And so she was emotional about that. So i think the jury is going to look at her in a human way and say she was emotional. She didnt want to hurt his prospects, but shes here telling the truth. So i think it
