CNNW Early Start June 25, 2012



it's 5:00 a.m. in the east. let's get started. first, it's a super soaker. tropical storm hammering florida with extreme weather. the slow-moving snow sith off the coast of alabama and the florida panhandle. the outer bands whipping up dangerous surf and triggering this huge water spout off juneau beach. also spawn ag deadly tornado in florida as it drenches the coast. officials say a woman was found dead in a home in venus located in the middle of the state between port st. lucie and sarasota. a child in one of the damaged homes was also injured and taken by the hospital. people say they were blind-sided by the twisters. >> i got my wife and my dog put them in a hallway there and said it's coming. about that time it started blowing real hard. >> it happened real fast, in a matter of 30 seconds. we saw a bunch of wind pick up. shoved into the bathroom. scared half to death. it was pretty traumatic. meteorologist alexandra steele is tracking the storm for us. slow and fierce. >> those two girls made a really good point. tornadoes and flooding may be the calling card of this thing, but the tornadoes as is a land-falling tropical storm, they are quick to spin up and quick to dissipate. so it is hard to even warn them. we had myriad tornado warnings yesterday in florida. every little one that spins up because they're so quick -- you heard her say it, it came out of nowhere. that's one thing to be mindful of in south-southwestern florida and northern florida. that was video from sarasota, clearwater, flooding. major flooding with this thing. here is a couple of reasons why. it is large and expansive. also very slow moving. been stationary all through the night, maybe moving 3 miles per hour. stationary now and not a lot of movement in the next couple of days we're talking about. so soaking northwest florida and now the axis of interest getting into southeast georgia. the track with this has been so uncertain, continues to be uncertain. the reason is, the steering currents are very weak. there's not one steering current taking it west or one taking it east. this is what we call the spaghetti models. you see each different color, a different computer model, looking where they think the track will be. and disparate nature, some taking it west, some taking it east. national hurricane center, their official track had it going into louisiana. changed yesterday afternoon, now moving north toward panama city. so the foot of rain we're expecting was around apalacha bay, now farther eastward. biggest threat is flooding from storm surge and heavy rain. we could see 10 to 15 inches, even 24 inches in isolated spots. gusty wind and tornadoes. here is where the axis of heavy raven is. look at southeast georgia between i-75 and 95, that vol does that corridor, savannah, that's who really could get soaked with this. we'll have more on this tropical storm in a little bit. >> alexandra is probably going to be a busy day. out west, the high dry conditions providing perfect fuel for fire. thousands of people -- thousands more people have been told to get out as the wildfires are burning across that state. about 11,000 people have now been evacuated in and around colorado springs. this after the waldo canyon fire began there just on saturday. the entire nearby city of manitou springs is a virtual ghost town. etch ref single person told to leave ahead of that fire. but the biggest problem they continue to face is that pesky high park fire. it's going into its third week now and still burning strong. it has now destroyed close to 250 homes. it's only 45% contained. governor of colorado saying close to half of the nation's airborne firefighting force is on this fire. it's already the most destructive wildfire in the state's history. it's four minutes past the hour. three people are presumed dead this morning after two freight trains in oklahoma collided head on and exploded into flames. this happened yesterday evening in the town of goodwell near the texas border. reuters is reporting the two trains were traveling toward one another on the same track. about 50 firefighters from five nearby towns helped to put out several small fires there. the waiting is almost over. supreme court almost certain to announce a decision on president obama's health care law this week, maybe as early, in fact, as today. four months to go until election day. so the centerpiece of president obama's domestic agenda which would extend insurance to at least 30 million americans is on the line here. the supreme court could uphold the law, sometimes referred to as obama care. they could toss part of it, the individual mandate, which requires almost every american to have health insurance or pay a penalty. the supreme court could decide to throw the whole thing out altogether. another decision coming that could add a lot of heat to the campaign. the high court is poised to rule on arizona's controversial immigration law as well. many states and cities have already adopted laws like it giving police new powers to demand that people show proof of u.s. citizenship. critics say the part requiring people to show their papers amounts to racial profiling and harassment. the host of jeopardy, alex trebek is recovering in a los angeles hospital this morning after suffering a mild heart attack over the weekend. the 71-year-old trebek is undergoing a few more tests but is expected to make a full recovery and also expected to return just in time for the new season of the show which begins shooting
