Bitter Cold Hits Sandy Victims; Squatting at the Mansion
LEMON: It's already claimed three likes. Now this arctic air system is wreaking havoc as it moves across the southeast. Snow, freezing rain, and dangerous amounts of ice causing scenes like this one in Virginia on roads across the country. This is Kentucky. Ise (ph) road blamed for this ten vehicle pileup. The great hand bus also sliding off the slick interstate. And in New York, the cold is so bitter the water in this fire hydrant froze solid. Firefighters forced to chip away at it. Meteorologist Alexandra Steele is in the CNN Severe Weather Center -- Alexandra.</s>ALEXANDRA STEELE, AMS METEOROLOGIST: Hi, Don. Another freezing rain event, but this time for the Upper Midwest. Chicago has a winter storm watch posted for Sunday morning into Monday morning. That's when we could see the freezing rain. Here's Sunday afternoon. So from Sunday afternoon around 2:00, it will move in, through the afternoon. And then through Sunday night into Monday, the axis of this freezing rain and snow moves to the northeast. Also in terms of temperatures, forget it, the arctic air is moving out. Temperatures coming up about 20 degrees. So, from the Midwest to the southeast, expect 20 degrees warmer than where you were at the beginning of the weekend -- Don.</s>LEMON: Thank you, Alexandra. As we shiver through this arctic blast, bear a thought for the victims of super storm Sandy. Many still don't have enough heat, holes in roofs and walls making small space heaters useless. CNN's Susan Candiotti is in New York and visited some of these folks still struggling. Susan.</s>SUSAN CANDIOTTI, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Don, three months into the cleanup following super storm Sandy, a lot of people are still waiting for repairs, and now they have this wintry blast that's just adding to their misery. Now, for some, their heat and power has been turned back on. But for others, well, they're still living with family or friends and still more are living in hotels or apartments being paid for by Fema. Now, the owner of this house is in a battle with the city. They say it can be repaired. She has other experts telling her it needs to be demolished. She told us how tough it is on her family.</s>NICOLE CHATI, MOTHER: It's hard. I mean, it's been emotionally hard from the beginning. You know, you first have the shock, and you don't realize what's going on. And then you basically go through the motions of what you need to do and what you have to do and all the red tape.</s>MIA CHATI, DAUGHTER: I just can't take this anymore. I just want my mom -- I just wish my mom doesn't have to fight with the insurance companies. And it's OK. I wish I could just get back in my house.</s>UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: I'm sorry.</s>CANDIOTTI: All of this can be so emotionally devastating, especially for children. And then as you walk around Staten Island, you still see things like this. Dotting the landscape, another sign that the cleanup has a long way to go -- Don.</s>LEMON: All right, Susan, thank you very much. You probably know someone. We have all known at least one person like this, who prides themselves on how little sleep they need. But in the end, it's that lack of sleep making them a bit of a jerk. We've got the details. So you can judge for yourself, but first this. It's easy to say that you like to change the world, but this week's CNN hero recognizes a kid who is really doing it. At six-years-old, Will Lorsy saw a man asking for food and decided to do something to help? Now, the nine-year-old Will and his friends are attacking hunger in their home town. Take a look at this.</s>WILL LORSY, CNN YOUNG WONDER: One day when I drove home from a Little League game, I saw homeless man with a cardboard sign and said, "Need a meal." So I told my mom I wanted to do something.</s>SODERBERGH, FOOD BANK DIRECTOR: Will Lorsy is a 9-year-old child. I hesitate to call him child, I think he's in a category of his own. And as a 7-year-old, he decided he was going to take on this issue of hunger.</s>LORSY: Welcome to FROGS. My group is called FROGS and it means Friends Reaching Our Goals, and our motto is having fun while helping others. I want you to write what we can do for a spring project.</s>WILL'S MOTHER: Will's big personality does not come from me.</s>LORSY: Fire me up. Pepper me.</s>SODERBERGH: I think every time you meet Will, you look at him and you say, are you kidding me? But together with his buddies, they have raised over $20,000, or the equivalent of 100,000 meals for Tarrant Area Food Bank.</s>LORSY: How about some French baguettes? Made from India. The Indian peaches are a delight.</s>SODERBERGH: When you see somebody who gets so engaged and gets so much of the community engaged, it's an endorsement of the battle we fight to end hunger. Thank you for your time, and remember that no matter how tall or small you are, you can make a big difference.</s>LEMON: So you know those times when you're not getting enough sleep? Maybe you're too busy. Maybe you have insomnia. It's hard for you, but your lack of sleep may also be hard for others to deal with. Wendy Walsh is a human behavioral psychologist. I don't mean to laugh Wendy but we all know it's unhealthy to not get enough sleep, but I mean, this is me. I'm a jerk sometimes because I don't get enough sleep, and I have insomnia. I had insomnia, I don't anymore. Magically, it disappeared. I wonder what happened.</s>WENDY WALSH, HUMAN BEHAVIORAL EXPERT: In this stage of your life. Who knows, it may come back.</s>LEMON: It may come back. It just went away one day. How does our lack of sleep affect others?</s>WALSH: Well, first of all, let's say that we do know that lack of sleep does affect our health. It can raise anxiety levels, even bone density, and it's links to obesity even.</s>LEMON: Yes.</s>WALSH: Because we eat a lot during the day to stay awake. But it can affect our romantic relationships because we're less able to express and feel gratitude for the other person, and also we're more likely to feel like we're taken for granted.</s>LEMON: And it can be especially troubling for new parents, correct?</s>WALSH: Well, of course. Now, first of all, I would say the time of anyone's relationship where they have a small newborn baby and toddlers in the house is probably the most stressed time that any relationship can have anyway because you're projecting your own infantile memories and feelings on this baby and you're arguing with each other about what to do while the baby is screaming, and you have lack of sleep. So, in this particular time, sleep deprivation can make it very hard to remember why you are with this person and express gratitude.</s>LEMON: And I know that there are theories about why we may be more selfish when we're tired. And I know this is true. I don't think it's a theory, I think it's true.</s>WALSH: Because we're needy. We're selfish little babies. When you're overtired, you become more selfish. So, sometimes, you know me, Don, so you know I'm a sleep junky. I have said for many, many years I need to get my beauty rest every night. I'm still an eight to nine hour a night person. And friends don't ever call me after 9:00 p.m. That's why I have so much gratitude for the world. But Don, in relationships, it's really important you get enough rest. Remember why you love that person, and not be so sensitive because when you're overtired, you're also more sensitive. You're a needy baby.</s>LEMON: Yes. But there all certain occupations where you can't just do. I mean, if you work the night shift, you're a physician, emergency worker, police officers, people who are in news, you can't always get eight, nine, ten hours of sleep. You sleep is interrupted.</s>WALSH: Yes. It's a difficult thing, and you have to make really hard lifestyle choices. But if you find your relationships are falling apart, it might be time to think about it. Also, one other study showed that if you have lack of sleep, if you're thinking of finding a new relationship by the way, you are more unapproachable. That we're more shut down when we're overtired.</s>LEMON: Let's talk about feeling appreciated. Why does feeling appreciated mean so much to us in our relationships? I mean, it sounds a lot like codependency. Why does it matter so much?</s>WALSH: Oh, there you go. All these Americans think that codependency means you can't be interdependent. That's a much lighter version. That's like codependency like. Remember, relationships are an exchange of care. We're supposed to trade care giving behaviors to each other. So if you're in an overtired state, you're not going to be as able to give that kind of care.</s>LEMON: Yes. I am a firm believer in naps. They're the most wonderful thing in the world.</s>WALSH: That's a good one. You keep taking those naps.</s>LEMON: Does it help?</s>WALSH: Yes, it does help. I have noticed just how happy you have been lately, expressing lots of gratitude.</s>LEMON: Thank you, Dr. Wendy. I appreciate it.</s>WALSH: Thank you.</s>LEMON: Always good to see you.</s>WALSH: Take care.</s>LEMON: In Florida, a squatter is using an ancient law to stay in a Boca Raton mansion, but as Terri Parker with our affiliate WPBF reports, the bank is now making its move to reclaim the property and kick the squatter out.</s>TERRI PARKER, WPBF REPORTER (voice-over): For weeks, neighbors knew there was trouble at this formerly empty water front home.</s>BECKY DAVIS, NEIGHBOR: I got an e-mail from the Homeowners Association saying that there were intruders living in the house.</s>PARKER: Twenty three-year-old Andre Barbosa had somehow gotten in and was claiming the house as his citing the little known adverse possession law.</s>UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: I did walk around the back of the house, and I noticed that they had changed out all of the locks.</s>PARKER: But now, after neighbor outrage led to international news coverage, the owner of the house, Bank of America, has fired back, filing a lawsuit Friday to force Barbosa and his friends, some of whom drove off Thursday without answering questions. Their license plate taped over. Bank of America says, in its complaint that Barbosa is a squatter in wrongful possession of the home without permission or consent. It asked for a permanent injunction restraining Barbosa and others from trespassing on the property, but some are questioning how Barbosa came up with the scheme in the first place.</s>DAVIS: I have heard that the theory is this kid is working for somebody else. He's just a warm body that has to occupy the house to make it legal because I don't know how he would have found this law that most of us had never heard of.</s>LEMON: Terry Parker reporting from WPBS, a CNN affiliate. A woman collapses and dies in a Colorado hospital. Her unborn twins die as well. Now the hospital, a Catholic hospital, claims a wrongful death lawsuit in the case should not include the unborn babies. And wait until you hear the reason why.
