Shortly after i left dfw, one terminal was shut down because of flooding. Passengers were stuck in planes not allowed in or out of the terminals. I had a terrifying drive from dallas to where i am now with lightning so vivid it was almost blinding. Yesterday was day two of the Severe Weather outbreak and its possible that the worst is still yet to come. Overnight it was texas under the gun. Now, thats some lifting in there.

Now heres the biggest problem with this storm system. Its moving north northwest at a whopping 1 mileperhour. That means ana could linger here in this area throughout much of the weekend. Youre right. As we look at the path on the map, saturday its still out in the atlantic. Its not until monday morning early monday morning that it makes its way on shore. So were going to watch this. Because its going to be so slow look at rainfall amounts. We are talking about generally 3 to 5 inches but right here along the North Carolina coast, there could be 7 inches or more.

Reporter good morning to you. The fbi director says hundreds of people in the u. S. Maybe thousands, are now following jihadist social media.

The fbi says the texas plot is dramatic proof of the power of isis propaganda through social media. Fbi director james comey says i know there are other Elton Simpsons out there. The isis message, he says is relentless urging followers to stage attacks. Its almost as if there is a devil sitting on the shoulder saying kill kill kill all day long. Congress is worried, too, about social media as a powerful recruiting tool. If you have an interest in jihadism you can find other people who are interested in that very easily very quickly and you can establish relationships with them. Reporter comey also disclosed that three hours before sundays attack in garland, texas, the fbi sent police there a bulletin with Elton Simpsons license and car number. But comey said the fbi had no idea that he wanted to attack it or that he left phoenix. And theres no indication that the officer who ended up shooting simpson and the other gunman nadir soofi ever saw that bulletin. Garland police declined to say what they did in response to the information, but insists they had no warning of any planned attack. The fbi says the information about Elton Simpson was not a warning because agents had no idea he left phoenix. Fascinating that it came just three hours before the attack.
