Search For Children Swept Away In Flood Waters In Arizona Turns Up Two Dead And One Still Missing
WHITFIELD: We're following breaking news out of the Arizona where we have just learned that two children have been found dead where a flash flood swept them away, one still missing. The kids were in a vehicle that was trying to cross a creek that was caught in the floodwaters. Natasha Chen joining me now with what we are learning. Terrible, sad news.</s>NATASHA CHEN, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Absolutely, and we're just learning this in the last few minutes. The Gila County Sheriff's Office in Arizona just sent us that update to the newsroom about these two children found dead and one still missing. Now they've been searching since yesterday afternoon when this happened at around 4:00 local time. They are part of -- these kids were part of a group of nine people who were in a military-style vehicle, and when the deputies arrived on scene, they said that the vehicle was almost completely submerged. Most of the people got out OK. They had to rescue two adults and four children, so they were looking for remaining three. Now they are telling us two out of those three they have found dead, one still missing. This is all part of very dangerous weather that people have had to contend with over the Thanksgiving holiday. On the west coast especially we've seen some high winds, power outages, snow in mountain passes, other flooding happening in places like San Diego. And if we have some video of the semitruck in Colorado that we saw from high winds just tipping over on the side of the highway. There you see it right there. That's the moment it gtips over like that from the high winds. That high wind warning is still in effect throuh this afternoon. Now, looking ahead, we are going to be seeing snowstorm really hit the northeast tomorrow. Massachusetts is expecting maybe up to 12 inches of snow. New York state expecting up to two feet in places like the Catskills. And that's all coming from this system on the west coast that's already wreaked havoc there. So it's just moving eastward towards the northeast. And of course, Fred, we know that tomorrow is such a busy travel day. So people are going to have to pack some patience, and we know that some airlines --</s>WHITFIELD: And flexibility.</s>CHEN: And flexibility. American Airlines is among those that have already talked about travel waivers beginning tomorrow. So everybody going home tomorrow, just take it easy, weather will definitely be an issue.</s>WHITFIELD: And take advantage of those wafers if you got it. Natasha Chen, thank you so much, appreciate that.</s>CHEN: Thank you.</s>WHITFIELD: All eyes on Iowa for Joe Biden as the campaign hopes to recapture momentum in that state.
