Announcer this is nbc nightly news, reporting tonight, willie geist. Good evening. The dangerous storms that unleashed tornados, torrential rains and knocked out power to thousands have turned deadly in east texas. A woman and her four grandchildren were swept away in the middle of the night by rising floodwaters and that threat is not over. 10 Million People remain under a Severe Weather watch across several states tonight. Nbcs jay gray begins our coverage. Reporter violent storms that have battered texas and oklahoma all week turned deadly overnight in palestine, texas. I dont know how it happened or why it happened, but it is disturbing though. Reporter 64yearold Lenda Asberry and four grand children were swept away in the floodwaters. She had four kids trying to lift it up out of the water and it got too strong for her. Reporter water that kept rising, over mud and mailboxes. Firefighters saved this womans life. How close were you from being under water when they got here . I was this far from being under water. My head was like this from being under water. While in lyndale, texas, two drain popes split apart a rode. Lyndale also cleaning up after tornados ripped through the town. In a Sporting Goods store, people took shelter in the fitting rooms. Moments later the wall and the roof collapsed on the building but everybody got out alive and everybody is okay. Reporter across texas and oklahoma, seven reports of tornados in the last 24 hours. We were inside of the storm shelter at the school and never would have thought that not have a house to come home to. Reporter this mattress flung into a telephone pole. A lot of trees down as you can see and it looks like people dont have power. Reporter more than 25,000 across arkansas, louisiana and texas lost electricity. And back in palestine, as families struggle to clean up and salvage what they can, they may understand better than most what lost property and power can be restored but this community has lost something that can never be replaced. And these families continue their recovery, we want to give you a firsthand look of what conditions were like during the storm overnight. Take a look outside. You could see the water line. That is where the water was. As you move inside, you could see the devastation that water left behind. Officials tell us at one point, this community took on seven inches of rain or more in just 30 minutes. Too much water, way too fast, willie. And your heart breaks for those four beautiful little children. Jay gray in palestine, texas, thank you. For more on what is ahead, we turn to our meteorologist dylan dreyer. Dylan . Good evening, willie, we should see improvements down through texas and louisiana through the night and especially into tomorrow. But as jay pointed out, the heavy rain is due to the moisture streaming in from the gulf of mexico. You add in the strong jet stream digging into texas and louisiana and it triggers the wind and the large hail. But as we go into tomorrow, what were going to notice is that the storminess we saw from the midwest down to the gulf coast, were going to lose the threat tomorrow because the storms themselves will move eastward, but the jet will not. So instead of the strong storms, well have the heavier rain instead. So as we go through tomorrow, well see the rain start to spread through the appalachians and up through the midatlantic and could see pockets of heavier rain but not widespread as far as hail and damaging wind gusts. Now flash flooding is still a major issue down near louisiana. An additional two to three inches of rain on top of a saturated ground could lead to more flash flooding. As for the northeast, a very wet and unsettled day on sunday. Most of the highest rain totals are down through new jersey into delaware and maryland into the midatlantic where we could see one to two inches of rain. As for texas and louisiana, monday is the next chance for severe storms. Willie. Thank you very much.

Reporter state of emergency in baghdad. The iraqi capital in chaos as hundreds storm the most heavily fortified part of a violent city the green zone. Protesters took over parliament, led by a popular religious leader, al sadr, demanding a overhaul of a government accused of rampant corruption and incompetence. We are peaceful, the man said. The thieves must be kicked out of the government. The green zone, in baghdad for more than a decade, a four square mile fortress, the iraq government and foreign embassies and the United Nations there and a mile from the parliament building. Todays protest building for months and the Prime Minister struggles to keep control. President obama last week in saudi arabia said he is watching closely. Im concerned. I think the Prime Minister has been a good partner for us. Reporter it could distract iraq from the fight against isis at a time when the u. S. Believes it has momentum. Capturing territory and killing isis leaders. Some 200 additional u. S. Military just added to the fight. Vice President Biden in baghdad just days ago to support the government, following visits by the secretary of state and defense in recent weeks. Everybody is worried, in both the United States and europe. The Iraqi Government crumbles and there is not anyone really, any reliable partner fighting Islamic State on the ground. Reporter and today isis struck again with deadly consequences, taking credit for a truck bombing near baghdad that killed at least 21 people. Here the administration monitors all of this very closely, especially relief, that while the green zone is breached, the protests have been for the most part nonviolent and watching how they emerge from yet another crisis. Ron allen, thank you.

Meantime, Ohio Governor john kasich, attacked trumps Foreign Policy knowledge during the town hall. He hasnt said anything about Foreign Policy that makes any sense at all. It is the same old blather. Reporter but many of the gop establishment are running out of patience with party infighting. Trump said an indiana win for him ends the quest by Washington Republicans for a contested convention in cleveland and plans a pair of rallies here on sunday, looking to move 67 delegates closer to the number of 1237.

It would be a young boy with white hair circled it three times, long enough to clearly see a person laying on this debris and the person was moving their arms. Reporter but once he radioed in, the makeshift raft disappeared. Last year the parents said the two often set out fishing alone. Theyve been through rough water, theyve been through thin water, it doesnt matter. Reporter today their families are hoping this phone might be the missing key to unlock this painful mystery. Morgan radford, nbc news. A desperate search in east africa after a sixstory Apartment Building collapsed in nairobi, kenya. It happened in heavy rain which delayed rescue teams to reach the scene. A dozen people were killed. 130 were rescued, among them a baby lifted out of the wreckage. Officials said the building did not have an occupancy permit, not uncommon in nairobi with a severe housing shortage. And a much different scene in kenya as the government set fire to more than 100 tons of ivory, with the stockpile confiscated from poachers, with tusks to more than 6500 elephants. The biggest burn of ivory in history, while the aim is to discourage poaching, some say this will increase the value of ivory and encourage it.

Several children and a couple of adults for decades cuban refugees have made the trek to u. S. By sea. Now many are risking it by land. They fly to guyana and trudge through Central America and mexico, but in november nicaragua shut its border. Now costa rica has done the same and forcing a bottleneck in panama. The only hope cubans have is to get to the United States, said this man who brought his 7yearold daughter through ecuador. He doesnt see himself as an economic refugee, but a political one. Many of the migrants say the urgency is due in part to the u. S. And cuba renewed diplomatic ties.
