Look at that orange traffic barrel that made its way there it is like a buoy on the ocean there is ship bottom water tank, i dont know what you are saying mr. Producer take it easy. We are seeing traffic here, so you can sea water as far back as we can look down Central Avenue and people going through, guy in his truck going slow because some people with real nice cars have gone through here and they are paying a price. There is a guy in the corvette getting personally affects oust of there. We have watched flood bed trick take a few vehicles out and probably waiting for his turn to go next. You can see where a sidewalk would be visible here and that is deep under water and probably i dont know if you can make out the curb, that gives you a sense of the water tire well deep for sure. I dont know mix of salt water down here. You can see beach right there we are a couple blocks from the beach.

Do you see sign to the left as we look at wawa beach haven one of our favorite Philadelphia Police officers George Mcclay was in charge of the northwest detectives forever. Anytime is there a big storm he is asking me to check on his house. He touched it out. He was among those governor christie talk about in hurricane irene talked about when he said get the hell off the beach and george smartly got out of there for next Hurricane Sandy and didnt stay. But the fat being that george has not called me or texted me tells me he is not worried about his house in the storm. Here is the safe spot, i found a surf board that is, the right way and elevated.

We pulled off, we came across this fire, so utility wires. They were down and caught fire this happened 3 30 this morning. Crews responded but they had to wait for pse g to come here and turn power off so they could obviously safely douse the flames. It has been going on for a few hours. It is not really affecting traffic any more but it was a serious situation here a few hours ago and it shows you how strong these storms were, that came through this morning, when all this happened, it was during the height of the storm with torrential downpours and lots and lots of lightening, mike and alex.

Now karen, this is in san antonio walmart. Yes, exactly in the parking lot. They had this truck. It was found. We could have more people that lose their lives. That temperature inside there and people internal organs were being over heated and that is why we had those deaths. We know something about the accused driver a man in his 60 s from clearwater, florida. Is there the scene of the walmart. Ambulances taking people away. There was a call on sunday because a man asked for some water at walmart and that is when they found at lee three dozen people who were still in the back of the sweltering trailer with no air conditioning, temperatures about 120, noe water. Some say they crossed at lare do on foot and hundred people packed in the back of the truck. Some of the store Surveillance Video shows vehicles taking some people away, a vigil for the dead, turned into a rail for change. In one has to die in their search for a better life. In one person is responsible for that failure but it represents a systemic failure and today we saw part of the cost of that failure. We are expecting some charges today, the driver of the truck they say, prosecutors say is James Matthew bradley junior of clearwater who will be charged later today. U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement acting director says he is in custody right now. They are hoping to save the people that are already in the hospital, right now but we did have a tragic loss of life, and they had so many people talking about it right now because it was just such a tragedy that happened. We know some of those immigrants were from mexico, others were from guatemala. Outside temperature in san antonio were around 100 degrees to begin with. Exactly. And who are these people coming up in cars and trucks to pick up people outside of the tractor trailer. Yeah, what they were doing. Umhmm. Thank you. President trumps son in law, Jared Kushner says he only had four contacts, i dont know why were only using word only, he had four contacts with russians during the campaign and president ial campaign, and that none of those contacts were improper, and he said he never colluded with any Foreign Government during the president ial campaign, and the president s son in law disclosing the information in an 11 page statement to the associated press, this news comes a couple hours before he is interviewed before senate and house committees investigating russias meddling in the 2016 election. Doug luzader joining us this morning, with more on this as new information we have. Yeah, doug. Reporter good morning. Big statement put out by Jared Kushner about 11 pages explaining he did not have, as you mentioned any improper contacts with individual from his russia. He did have some contact. Certainly members of the house and Senate Intelligence committees will grill him about this over the next few days what does the president s son in law necessity about russia . Democrats anxious to face off with Jared Kushner now one of the president s top advisors who played such a key role in last years campaign. They are looking for any information about meetings involving kushner, donald trump junior and one Time Campaign manager Paul Manafort we want to know whether those meetings took place, other meetings took place, we have a lot of ground to cover, his counsel has said they will make him available for two hours. We expect this will be just first interview. Reporter president s new Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci says this will help settle the matter. Im confident that tomorrow when Jared Kushner speaks and i will keep my fingers crossed , probably last time he has to talk about russia. Reporter other issue for scaramucci, task with improving white house messag ing is trying to reign in leaks a issued that bedeviled the Trump Administration from day one and he is promising to crackdown. If you keep leaking i will fire everybody it is binary. Reporter in theory senate will vote, on a measure town due major provisions of obama care but there is still uncertainty. From the president last night this tweet if republicans dont repeal and replace the disastrous obama care, the repercussions will be far greater than any of them understand. Look that vote if it takes place this week will be extremely tight, especially because senator john mccain is not here now because of a health concern. So that means that republicans can only afford to lose one vote but all of this will be overshadowed over next few days by the appearance by Jared Kushner even though we wont see it, because it is behind closed doors and he wont be under oath. This is part of the agreement to get him to testify but you know someone will be leaking about this. There is always a leak. Oh, please. Doug, thank you. See you tomorrow.
