Amy Williams,and her cousin Don were camping with a large group of friends and family in Leicesterville.When she says before dawn, floodwaters rushed away their eight campers and three other vehicles.Fortunately, everyone in the group accounted for.
We were just in total shock, didn't think this was really happening.We got out of the campers and the water was up past our knees.
Tens of millions of Americans now under the threat of severe weather from Colorado to New Jersey, where police on Thursday rescued this driver from knee -deep floodwaters in Brunswick.In central Georgia, these trees uprooted after winds up to 60 miles per hour tore through the state.And north of the border, this Air Canada jet with 156 passengers on board veering off the taxiway while landing amid a heavy downpour in Montreal Thursday afternoon.Passengers deplaning with the jet still resting on the grass.And Rachel, all that severe weather still taking a toll on air travel.Nearly 6 ,000 flights delayed or canceled.

OK, Morgan, thank you.So let's get right to WABC meteorologist Jeff Smith.Jeff, you're tracking that heavy rain and the flooding threats heading into the weekend.

Yeah, digits out west.Okay, J turn now to the deadly i Texas, the Department of admitting that a man fat was not the intended targ A community is in shock t Tonight, federal authorities revealing that Lorenzo Salgado Arraujo, the husband and father killed by ICE agents while on his way to work, was not their intended target.
A DHS official saying Arraujo was stopped after officers observed a white van with an individual who resembled the target.Araujo's family sharing this video showing him getting into his white van early Tuesday morning.ICE officials claim Araujo rammed a federal vehicle during an attempted arrest and that he was shot after he refused to follow commands.But witnesses inside Araujo's vehicle casting doubt.
All three of my clients reiterated that at no point was there ever an agent standing in front of the vehicle, nor was an agent ever placed in the line of danger.
It's a nightmare.Araujo, the father of three sons, all US citizens, the young men telling me their father, a Mexican national, had been in the country for almost 35 years and was close to obtaining legal status.
We miss him and that I know that in his final moments, as fearful as he was for his own life, I know he was thinking about us.
Rachel, Homeland Security officials say the agents involved were in unmarked vehicles and were not wearing body cameras.Tonight, the Harris County District Attorney's Office says that anyone with video of this incidentcome forward.Rachel?
Okay, John, we appreciate your reporting.Thank you.We turn now to a major housing bill that's on track to become law at midnight without President Trump's signature.The sweeping legislation focused on lowering costs was supported by both Democrats and Republicans.Tonight, why the president says he is protesting the bill.Here's ABC's Selena Wang.
Tonight, that historic bill Congress passed with overwhelming bipartisan support aimed at lowering housing costs for Americans is set to become law at midnight, but without the president's signature.Trump says he's refusing to sign it in protest over the fact that the United States Senate is not capable of passing the Save America Act, his sweeping voter ID law that would greatly restrict mail -in voting.It comes just hours after the president forced out the last three members of the election Assistance Commission, a bipartisan group put in place decades ago as a guardrail for election security.The president has tried to sow doubt about the election system and reshape how votes are counted ahead of the high stakes midterms.This latest move shocking election officials across the country.
It's irresponsible and dangerous, and it causes chaos because we're not going to have the guidance, the bipartisan, level headed, steadfast commission that we had that we could depend on.
Now, the White House is defending the president's decision, pointing to the Supreme Court's recent ruling that the president has the authority to fire the leaders of most independent agencies for any reason.

Police are looking at video posted to social media that the family says shows an argument involving Wells, but the contents are unclear.His mother told ABC News his phone was left behind and his Snapchat accounts were empty.
And I was just like, that can't be.I've seen Nolan whenever he snaps.When he goes and he's having fun, he does videos.There was absolutely nothing.
Tonight, the Sheriff's Department is asking the family to turn over the phone to investigators.
We're working towards the same goal as the family.We want a thorough investigation.
