I cant use the word huge anymore. I know, i know, i know. Reporter those crowds turned out to caucus for him out west, favoring him by double digits in nebraska and 2 to 1 in kansas. Today, as i understand it, kansas had the largest voter turnout in the history of their caucus process. Reporter but in louisiana, Hillary Clinton turned the tables. Thanks to overwhelming sport from black voters, she beat him there nearly 3 to 1. Im grateful to everyone that turned out to support us. But now all eyes turn to michigan.

Its a good thing were going to put a lot of money into mental health, because some of these guys need it. Reporter on that, the two democrats agree. I mean, really, you just want to pull your hair out when you see that insultfest that goes on among the republicans. Reporter make no mistake, michigan is critical, especially for sanders. He has some ground to catch up on the delegate count. And hes count ogen a big win in michigan. He has to beat expectations. There are more delegates at stake in michigan than in all the weekends contests combined. Crunch time for Bernie Sanders. All of the campaigns are really closely watching the delegate numbers. As we head toward what many think could be a contested or brock brokered convention. This is the big number. 1237. The number of delegates a candidate needs to clinch. Donald trump with 378. You can see cruz, roub yeo trailing behind. Lets look at the big map. These are states up for grabs. Ten days over the next ten days, nine states, including ohio, 66 delegates in that state.

A split decision with donald trump for cruz. Their only home is being spoil nrs their home states to take this to a brokered convention. Ted cruz has a slight chance to get to the 1237. Donald trump, some what better. As long as kasich and rubio stay in, it will be awhile before we get to the twoman race. What do you think the results last night tell us about what success, if any, the mitt romney and stop Trump Movement is having at this point. A couple of things. If you look at all the states last night, donald trump underperformed his polls. Going into this weekend. Most of them taken before the debate, before mitt romney came out. He overperformed on the early vote. Those votes cast before the attack on thursday. So there are some signs that theres been some impact over this week. The other point you have to look at, when you look at the states yesterday. Kansas, maine, those were closed primaryies primaries. Only republicans were allowed to vote. Not independents. A lot of Donald Trumps strengths has been with independents. Its interesting you say this, because the conventional wisdom, at least in some quarters, has been, mitt romney, john mccain, coming out against trump, will only make Trump Supporters support him more. It could lock in the 30 to 35 that have been supporting him all the way. The question is, has the momentum he had been stalled . I think there are at least some signs of that from yesterdays voting. George stephanopoulos. Fascinating as always. We love having you on. George will go one on one with both john kasich and Bernie Sanders. Later this morning on this week. Right here on abc. Looking forward to that. We want to turn now to the nasty supersoaker blasting the intense weekend storm causing downpours and fears of flooding and landslides. Its only going to get worse with more storms on the way. Aditi roy is in pacifica. Near san francisco. Aditi, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, cecilia. Nasty is the word. Take a look at these waves behind me. Clobbering the coast. Eating away at the already eroded shore. This extreme weather making conditions downright dangerous. This morning, powerful waves slamming into the coast and digging into the shoreline in northern california. Stay up on the sea wall. Dont get down on the beach. You people have died down here. You have to be very careful. Reporter the region battered by el ninopowered storms over the weekend. More than six inches of rain in 18 hours. More than 55mileanhour wind gusts. Snapping trees and bringing down powerlines. A tree fell over the fence property. It just goes to show you, you dont know what youre going to run into. Reporter in pacifica, the weather gnaws away at this crumbling cliff. Construction crews have demolished a redtagged Apartment Building sitting on the cliff. Its just its hanging on by a thread. Reporter a 48yearold woman died when she drove her car into rising floodwaters. The coast guard rescued three surfers on the oregon coast saturday. Urging residents to avoid the dangerous conditions. At the moment here, its dry. That wont last long. The next round of storms expected to hit later tonight. The weekend washout, cecilia . Thank you. Lets get more on the threatening storms from indra petersons. Good morning. Good morning. Thats correct. Youre seeing a little bit of a lull right now. A series of storms expected to make its way into the west coast. Remember, that is not the big story. We have to take a look at the setup that will be occurring for the middle of the week. Winds go clockwise around a low. Clockwise around the high. Now you have two pinwheels in here, pulling all this moisture right out of the gulf. You have a bulls eye sitting right here. All the moisture right in the middle of the country. Were talking about five, even ten inches of rain in areas that are already flooded. Cecilia . Dan . Well pick it up pr here. Serious concerns in the Weather Department this week. Also serious concerns this morning about the zika virus. An alarming new study shows that it can cause a variety of problems for developing babies at any stage of pregnancy. Not just the beginning. Thats right. There are at least 192 reported cases in 32 states and washington. And abc news chief Womens Health correspondent dr. Jen ashton joins us now. The study changes the way were thinking about this. Should expectant moms be worried . Thats what a lot of people want to know. I think everyone is concerned. Pregnant women and obstetricians at this time, absolutely still more questions than answers. I want to be clear. This was a study appearing in the new england journal of medicine. Followed 88 pregnant women in brazil. Most of them had symptoms and went on to test positive. The findings were concerning. Two suffered first trimester miscarriages. Two suffered third trimester fetal death. And 29 of those women who had ultrasounds had abnormalities on the ultrasound that showed the fetal brain was being affected. This study indicated zika can affect women in all stages of pregnancy. It suggested there is a compromised function of the placenta, which then affects the fetus. We need to emphasize, this is association, observation. We havent proven cause and effect. But this was a big study. Devastating for those families. Doctors, right now, the advice worried you have been exposed, you should have ultrasounds. What would a doctor like you be looking for . Deeper dive on those. When we do ultrasounds in pregnancy, were not looking at one point in time. Were doing that, making observations. Were following that fetus over time to compare changes. Were looking at the size of the baby with respect to the dates that the mom is in her pregnancy and were seeing if the baby stays along the growth curve. Were measuring the circumference of the fetal head. Were doing doppler studies that look at the umbilical blood flow and the flow in the babys brain. Were looking for an indication is that fetus okay. Were lucky to have your guidance on a story affecting a lot of people. Thank you. For the other headlines, to ron.
