Killed. Eight others injured by falling trees. Downed pour lines have left hundreds of thousands of people without electricity this morning. Indra petersons is here with much more. What happened . It happened so quickly, indra. Thats the problem. We had fast moving systems. Six reports of damage from tornadoes alone. Severe weather system made its way from the ohio valley and eventually spread right into the northeast. Heavy wind and rain pummeled Central New York as severe storms sweep across the northeast spawning at least three tornadoes, destroying homes and killing at least five people, including one child. The powerful storms downed power lines, cracked utility poles and uprooted massive trees leaving over 400,000 people without electricity this morning. You cant even see out the windows it was raining so hard. Reporter in maryland the storm moved in quickly killing one child at a church camp who was trapped under a tree and injuring eight others as they ran for safety. Something like this has never happened in our history, and it was a freak storm that came up, and, unfortunately, this is whats happened. Reporter in syracuse, new york, homes almost completely leveled, leaving four dead and authorities still searching door to door for survivors. We got our search dogs out right now looking around. Were just picking up houses looking to see if anybody is underneath them. Reporter the significant damage prompted a state of emergency in the new york area as crews work to clear roads blocked by debris. Went from bad thunderstorm to crazy and, i mean, just thats about the way way we can describe it. It was just crazy. Reporter take a look at line of storms that really pushed through the ohio valley eventually making its way into the northeast. That same frontal system is there still this morning you can see the very end of it kind of sagging into the southeast. That will continue to fire up some storms into the southeast today. Meanwhile into the northeast, High Pressure is building in, so well get nicer as we get closer to the weekend but another frontal system is out there eventually by friday making its way into the mid well. Showers are still on the forecast. Looking at the biggest threat farther down in the southeast kind of right around the carolinas where we still have the frontal system this morning. John . Thanks, indra. Now to the border crisis affecting tens of thousands of undocumented immigrants, many children, after some political back and forth. President obama and Texas Governor rick perry will meet today to discuss this Immigration Crisis, but the sparring is only beginning in congress after the president s emergency request for almost 4 billion to address this issue. Senior White House Correspondent jim acosta joins us now with the latest. Jim . Reporter good morning, john. Later on this afternoon, president obama and Texas Governor rick perry will be getting together for what promises to be a tense meeting over the crisis at the border. The meeting will be taking place in dallas. And back here in dallas theres another showdown brewing over the president s border plan. With the ink barely dry on the president s nearly 4 billion plan to halt the flood of undocumented immigrants republicans in congress have said no deal. They have asked for a blank check and an awful lot of money coming to tens of thousands of dollars for each one of these children. Reporter nearly half of the 3. 7 proposal is to care for unaccompanied minors from Central America. The rest goes to detention and removal costs, more Border Patrols and surveillance and immigration legal teams to speed up deportation proceedings. Administration Officials Say gop critics want to have it both ways. They dont get to acknowledge this is a serious humanitarian problem and then say offhand that they wont provide the support to make sure we can deal with the problem. Reporter part of the problem, existing u. S. Laws, that require Border Crossers to be returned quickly if they come from mexico, yet the undocumented from Central America receive special legal protections, a distinction former president bush signed into law to fight Human Trafficking. It is the protection that is required under u. S. Law, but it has now escalated to the point of creating a migration emergency. Making the border crisis tougher solve is the political brawl between the president and Texas Governor rick perry. After an exchange of insults i have to believe that when you do not respond in any way that you are either inept or you have some ulterior moed motive. The truth is its hard to take seriously governor pers concerns. Reporter two leaders will meet in dallas hundreds of miles from the border, aides say, the president wont be visiting. I hope the president reconsiders. He needs to go and see this for himself and not rely on his advisers. Reporter as for that meeting between the president and rick perry, officials here at the white house and down in austin have plenty of differences, but, kate, they do have one thing in common. They are being very tight lipid about how this meeting is going to go on later today in dallas. Very few details. But a lot of people watching. Jim, thanks for sure. Jim acosta at the white house. Jim asked the question and we all do. Whats behind the surge nun documented children coming into the country and what is the fix . Whats the way to fix it . Here to kind of discuss this further, explore it is anchor and Senior Correspondent for cnn espanol juan carlos lopez. Good to see you. Good morning. Its caught up in politics. You cant deny that. What does the evidence show that youve seen so far . What is behind the surge of children and families coming across the border . There are many reasons, kate, and many of them might fit the talking points of different party, but one of the main reasons weve been hearing about is violence in Central America. This started 20082009. It didnt start some weeks ago as many might understand from watching news coverage. Its been going on, and the numbers have been growing exponentially every year, so many pointed to lack of economic opportunity, the violence in Central America, the drug war in Central America and a very difficult Economic Situation for many. That does push back on that one question of how did they not see this coming though, right, because this has been happening for years . If you look at the numbers and Border Patrol numbers on posted on the website. We have two different flows of children. If you look at the children that come from mexico, its been stable, around 17,000 since 2009. If you look at the number from Central America, you combine them, in 2009 it was 3,400 kids. This year were almost at 40,000. If you look at 2012, it was almost 11,000, so this isnt something that happened overnight. Somebody wasnt obviously looking where they should, but this has been building up, and its at the point where we are right now. A couple of things i want to talk about that people point to part of the problem that the government is facing, part of the reason behind the influx, the 2008 trafficking law put in place to try to help children, to make sure that they werent sent back to dangerous situations in Central America. The government has said that this is hindering their ability to deport them in a speedy manner if they dont meet that threshold. What role do you think that plays in this . Theres an interesting discussion between those who say this is an Immigration Crisis where you have undocumented crossing the border, and then you have others who say this is a humanitarian crisis where you have refugees looking for asylum. Now, which one is it . Is it asylum . Are we receiving the children of a conflict in Central America and are they looking for a safe haven or is this an immigration influx . Thats a debate that hasnt been defined. The government talks about humanitarian crisis. But still wants the proses to send these kids back in a quick manner. If you look at the information from the United Nations high commissioner for refugees they have information that its not only the u. S. They are coming, to the main country, many have relatives here. I spoke to the first lady of guatemala. Most children she spoke with in arizona where she visited told her they were trying to reunite with the families, but the u. N. Says asylum requests for panama, mexico, costa rica, countries south of honduras is up by 700 , so people want to leave these countries and obviously things there arent very good right now. The u. S. Isnt alone. I want to get your take on this. What about the comments that we have heard from president obama over the past couple of years when hes been talking about the d. R. E. A. M. Act, when hes essentially said were not going after young kids. Listen to an example of it. Classmates of our children who are suddenly under this shadow of fear through no fault of their own. They didnt break a law. They were kids. Send me a law that gives them the chance to earn their citizenship. I will sign it right away. It makes no sense to expel talented young people who for all intents and purposes are americans. Juan car low, republicans say that the president has essentially brought this on himself because hes sending the wrong message to Central America in making those comments. Are you seeing that there . The numbers simply dont back that up. If you look at the numbers, the Deferred Action Program was announced june 2012, implemented at the end of that year, so if you look at the numbers for 2012, that year you had over 10,000 kids coming in from honduras, guatemala and el salvador which is more than triple what you had in 2009 so that flow had already started. If you look at the number of kids from mexico, it was bloat average, so its not deferred action. Its interesting to believe that people in central are so privy to our immigration policy. There are many reasons. Maybe some parents do believe that they will benefit from deferred action, but from cnn espanol well be reporting on the requirements and they are very strict so theres a combination of issues, but theres no simple answer, and theres no simple explanation. Absolutely not especially when politics becomes very much involved. Juan carlos, great to see you. Thank you so much. Have a great day. Of course. Thanks so much, kate. Now to the middle east where hundreds of rockets and missiles were fired between israel and hamas overnight. Hamas firing more than 130 rockets towards israel in just the last day. Some of them being fired at civilians as far away as tel aviv where they were intercepted by israels Missile Defense system, the iron doe. Israel warning of a possible Ground Invasion as it launches 160 air strikes against militants. That was overnight. Lets get to diana magnay live in israel near the gaza bothered, and youve seen a lot of activity over your head in the last several hours. Reporter hi. Well, john, thats true. Weve seen intercepts in the sky when rockets have come over from gaza. The iron dome Missile Defense battery system behind me is one of the mobile units that they use to make these interceptions and there have been interceptions from long range missiles out of gaza late yesterday evening. Towards tel aviv and beyond over jerusalem. That is, of course, the big fear when hamas starts aiming towards those cities. Israel says that it is going to get very serious and clearly their end game now, the Israeli Defense forces, not just to stop the flow of rockets but to really make sure that they damage once and for all hamas capability to wage rocket terrorism. Lets take a look at the last few stages of operation protective edge. Overnight israel launched at least 160 strikes on the gaza strip. Middle east on the brink. Hamas responding with just four rockets overnight. One of hamas rockets, an m302 just like the missile shipment israel intercepted from iran leading the Defense Force to believe that hamas is supplying hamas with weaponry. On tuesday the border between israel and the gaza strip illuminated by the flames of war. Video released by the Israeli Military shows hamas militants stealthily emerging from the mediterranean sea, guns in hand, ready to attack. The incomes shot show Israeli Soldiers crouching in wait firing at their incoming enemies and targeting rocket attacks and reportedly eliminating the hamas militants. They came to the wrong beach party. Should have stayed on their own side of the fence and paid dearly for this. Reporter sirens echoing the battle cries of hamas and israel. Get inside. Reporter my own crew, myself, running for shelters at the sound of the sirens in western israel on tuesday afternoon. Many moments of normalcy cut short. One jewish wedding in israel interrupted by air raid sirens. The bride seen crouching in fear at the altar as the ground shakes and running down the aisle with her wedding guests seeking cover. Even as hamas pulls back, israel says its not backing down. Were beyond that point now. Hamas are going to pay for the attacks that they are carrying out. Its just unacceptable. Reporter israels iron dome Defense System has intercepted dozens of hamas rockets. Mean while, craters and rubble dot landscape where homes and buildings once stood, as the people who runs inhabited them are left injured, mourning and struggling to survive this all too familiar scene of warfare. And on this side in israel, of course, you hear the sirens and people run for cover but theres no injuries. Iron dome proving effective and in gaza its a completely different story even though israel says that it tries to operate with precision. It has these knocks on the roof as they are called, warning family that its about to strike a house. We know theres been 26 civilians dead, 26 casualties so far, some of them civilians and eight of them children and that is the pain really of this conflict when you have, you know, types of armaments being used on each side. However precise it is in a highly crowded population like the gaza strip. You will have civilian casualties. John . Thanks so much, diana magnay for us right along the board they are in israel. Michaela. Quarter past the hour. Start with breaking news overnight. North korea firing two short range missiles off its east coast into the ocean as south korean Officials Say they are believed to be short range ballistic missiles.

Workers discovered the viles last week in a lab not authorized to store the virus. The samples will be destroyed after they were tested first to see if the virus is viable.
