Good evening, in for diane tonight. Its great to have you with us on a tuesday evening. We do begin with that line of storms on the move right now. Its been a terrifying 24 hours for so many families, some close calls for flash floods. Look at the radar this hour, the severe thunderstorms and powerful winds moving across much of the east. This is college park, maryland a short time ago, the wind whipping the trees, the relentless rain and this tonight. Look closely at that car, there was a family inside, the father and daughter clinging to a tree. As i mentioned at the top, the mother inside swept away for miles. Tonight here, her survival story and lets get right to it all. Meteorologist ginger zee tracking it again tonight. Its going to be another tough evening. Reporter it is. David, all right 50 severe storm reports. At least that number is going to go up, we know that. 17 states threatened by flood watches from california to maine. Tonight we take you inside the storm. Thunderstorms taking over new york city. Major highways and airports shutting down for a time around the big apple. Cars foolish lg plowing through water in new jersey. In ohio, flightening accidents like there for a family near cincinnati, their car hydroplaning in heavy rain, hitting a poll and falling into a flooded ditch before washing away from the road. Because of that water going out fast, where it was stuck in the tree, so i climbed up a little bit on the tree and waiting for some help. Reporter dad and daughter straddling a downed tree for safety. The water sweeping mom another four miles away. When i found him and the baby hanging onto a tree above the car, she they were he was screaming that his wife drowned and she was screaming the same thing over there, my husband and baby drowned. So pretty happy reunion when we got them together. Reporter remember it only takes two feet of fastmoving water in a flash flood situation to move a vehicle, even a big suv like this. Two feet takes you right there to the top of the rim. That is not a lot of water. In arizona, monsoon rains filling the streets. Georgia arnson swears the water wasnt that deep when she entered the intersection. Just like a minimal amount, like a little puddle. All of a sudden the water came rushing through with tree debris, wood, everything just came flying at my car. Horrific ordeal. Ginger back with us looking at the next 24 hours. Thats right. Theres a pocket in the mountains but i wanted to show you the severe storms. From raleigh all the way up to new hampshire. Weve seen even tornado warnings in maine, david. Then the cold front will move on. Tomorrow were going to get rid of it along the east coast. Until then the flash flood potential is there, locally over three inches from South Carolina through new england. Afternoon tomorrow, david, is when we see things dry out along the east coast.

The governor has been begging residents to conserve water and water usage were told is still going up. Now we turn to that horrific scene playing out in moscow tonight. You can see behind me the deadly train disaster as thousands were headed to work, subway cars jumping the tracks, chaos in the tunnel, twisted steel and look at this, victims pulled from the wreckage, so many with bandages wrapped around their heads. Abcs kirit radia on the seen all day as theyve been pulling passengers out. Reporter the morning commute turned into chaos. Passengers trapped in the mangled wreckage. There was an abrupt stop and the lights went off. Then fire and smoke. We were blocked in. In all, at least 22 dead, over 160 injured. This is the station near where the accident happened. Theyve been bringing victims out throughout the day and now these emergency workers are going back in with heavy equipment to try to get to some of the victims and the bodies that have been trapped for hours. It all took place 275 feet below ground, the train speeding at 45 Miles Per Hour when it skipped the track and jackknifed. Authorities ruled out terrorism but the cause is a mystery. Todays crash is a wakeup call not just in russia but the u. S. Where federal straighters have warned that the countrys largest Transit System are billions behind on repairs.

On the streets of gaza today, those we spoke with rejected any talk of ceasefire. They say israel is laying siege to gaza, denying it goods and basic rights, making life here miserable. I want to continue defending our rights until we get something. Its not just sending rockets without meaning. Reporter and david, tonight more than 100,000 people here in gaza are getting recorded calls and Text Messages from israels military telling them to evacuate their homes, warning that more strikes are imminent. Israel sending the unmistakable message that hamass rejection of the cease fire will now have consequences. David . Abcs Alex Marquardt in gaza, thank you.

So, the desperate mom called on these Good Samaritans to help, gabriel dell biay recorded the rescue. I was like, man, this is really relevant right now, and everybodys worrying about this. Reporter each year, roughly 40 children die of heat stroke in hot cars. At least 17 this year alone. Many because parents simply forget their kids are in the back seat. This week, a new petition called on the white house to Fund Research into a high tech solution. Many cars already have Camera Technology to monitor whats going on outside of your car. Ford is reportedly working on Camera Technology to monitor the inside of your car after youve left it. It could alert parents if a child is still in that car seat, but the new technology is still years off, which is why parents are making their case with video diaries online. I can barely breathe out here. Reporter a parents common sense still the only solution. Linsey davis, abc news, new york.

Many people leaving a big art auction couldnt tell which was which. I think that this is the real one. You think this is the real one . Yeah, is it . Lets see. Oh, thats the fake. You got me. Reporter the fake rothko, which once sold for 8. 3 million, is one of dozens of lookalike works that Authorities Say were created by one of the great fakers of all time who left new york last year as the fbi began to close in. But now abc news has found him, in china, in a tiny studio apartment in shanghai. His name is rei shen qian. He was working in times square drawing portraits of tourists when he says he was recruited by two new york art dealers to create fake masterpieces that would sell for a total of some 80 million. My intent wasnt for my fake paintings to be sold as the real thing. But Authorities Say qian actually forged the signatures of some of the artists he copied. He told us i was shocked that people mixed them up. But the scam went on for years until this london billionaire, pierre legrange, realized he had been conned when he paid 17 million for this supposed painting by jackson pollock. Experts discovered the yellow paint in the painting was not sold until 14 years after pollocks death. It turns out it was the work of the accused times square faker. The two art dealers who allegedly recruited the artist also have been charged in the scam. One has pleaded guilty, the other is under arrest in sprain. Many of the fakes were sold through one of new yorks most prominent art galleries, which has gone out of business because of the scandal. Brian, thank you.

Heres abcs cecilia vega. Reporter the alist actress was asleep in her Hollywood Home early one morning last month. Sandra bullock told police a loud bang woke her up. And then, she saw a man dressed in dark clothes walking in her hallway, right past her bedroom door. New details in a search warrant show how terrifyingly close bullock came to her alleged stalker. When police arrived, they say they found Joshua James Corbett inside bullocks home and that he screamed, sandy, im sorry. Please dont press charges. According to the search warrant, corbett was obsessed with the megastar, writing her without you in my life, theres only misery. Police say bullocks son, louie, was not home at the time. Corbett was charged with felony burglary and felony stalking. Stalking is a crime in every state, but less than a third of states consider it a felony on first offense. You cannot lock up the stalker forever. The answer lies in Mental Health intervention. Reporter this isnt bullocks first stalker.
