00:00avoid the rising water. Severe storms and flash flooding slamming the east coast.
00:06Emergencies declared in New York and New Jersey. Rainfall rates of three inches per hour making
00:12a mess of rush hour. Water filling up this bus. More than 100 passengers had to use ladders and
00:17ropes to escape this Long Island railroad train. When they said we had to climb down,
00:22I was like having a panic attack. Drivers trapped in vehicles along this expressway.
00:26Powerful thunderstorms hitting Pennsylvania. Multiple lightning strikes reported. In
00:31Maryland, the storm's turning deadly. A boy in Mount Airy was playing when he was swept into a
00:36drainage pipe. The water was all the way across and again probably about chest level. There was
00:42too much suction and unfortunately it ended tragically. Outside Baltimore, water swamping
00:47roads, stranding drivers. Heavy rain also in D.C. This massive tree crushing cars. A different
00:55problem in the upper Midwest. Smoke from Canadian wildfires causing some of the worst air quality
01:00in the world. Alerts issued from Minnesota to Indiana. Meanwhile in Texas, we're learning more
01:06about the catastrophic July 4th flood that devastated Kerr County, killing more than 130 people. At a
01:12hearing, the county's emergency management coordinator, William Thomas, revealing he was
01:16sleeping as floodwaters swept the region because he was sick at the time.
01:20I was awakened around 5.30 a.m. on July the 4th by my wife following a call from the city of Kerrville
01:26EMC, Jeremy Hughes, requesting that I mobilize. But by then, hundreds of people, including 27 young
01:34campers and staff members at Camp Mystic, had been swept away by the rising water. You should have been
01:39here directing that response. That's your responsibility. As for those storms in the east,
01:45they're blamed for 1,800 flight cancellations.
