02:52 At least 3 killed after flash flooding in New Mexico, including children, as death toll rises in Texas

 

Good evening. We are just back from Texas tonight, the Hill Country and the heartbreak there. We heard from so many of you at home, your thoughts with all of those families.

 

And we begin tonight with a new tragedy here. First, it was Texas. Now it's New Mexico.

 

A terrifying wall of water, a new flash flood emergency, and it's been deadly. Homes swept away, one family, a soldier and his wife, their two children swept away. Only the parents were found alive.

 

The images tonight here, that powerful wall of water sweeping right through this community in New Mexico, the river rising 20 feet in just 30 minutes. At least three people were killed. Powerful currents ripping homes right off of their foundations.

 

Dozens of water rescues reported. The governor of New Mexico tonight declaring a state of emergency. Meantime, in Texas, search and rescue teams now in their sixth day.

 

The death toll there rising just as we come on tonight. At least 119 now dead and 170 people still missing, including children. And further north at this hour, along the east coast tonight, severe thunderstorms and now watches and warnings for more damaging winds and possible flash flooding.

 

Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia. We have it all covered tonight. Ginger Zee is standing by with the forecast.

 

And our chief national correspondent, Matt Gutman in Texas, the son calling for his mother from a tree. And you'll see it right here. And now this new horrific tragedy in New Mexico.

 

A long night ahead for residents of Redoso, New Mexico, after a ferocious and deadly wall of water blasted through the streets.

 

ferocious [fəˋroʃəs] adj. 凶猛的；残忍的；【口】非常的；惊人的

blast [blæst] v. 轰击; 喷出，爆发出

 

At least three people killed from the banks of the Rio Redoso River outside Albuquerque rose a record 20 feet in just 30 minutes. A young soldier and father of two stationed at Fort Bliss, Texas, was on vacation with his family at a campground when they were swept away in those raging floodwaters.

 

He and his wife were found safe, but their four-year-old daughter and their seven-year-old son did not survive. Oh, my God, they just pulled somebody out. Oh, no.

 

This home ripped from its foundation and sent smashing downhill. Crews today combing through the debris left behind. That horror in New Mexico comes just days after those devastating floods 500 miles away in Texas, where recovery teams in Kerrville are scouring riverbeds for a sixth day.

 

At least 170 people still unaccounted for after that catastrophic July 4th flash flood killed at least 119 people. Dispatch audio exclusively obtained by our affiliate KSAT details emergency crews' initial response to the devastating floods here.

 

We still have water coming up. The Guadalupe Schumacher sign is now underwater on Highway 39. Is there any way we can send a code red out to our Hunt residents asking them to find higher ground or stay home?

 

code red: a warning of or signal indicating imminent danger

 

Lindsay Roberson and her teenage son, Jack, swept from their home into those roiling waters. The next thing I saw coming for me was a house, and I don't even know how it all happened.

 

Lindsay spoke to me from her hospital bed recovering from surgery.

 

But I went under, and it was like being in a washing machine, just flipping around under the water. She fought to the surface, but debris also pelting her son.

 

pelt [pɛlt] v.（连续地）投掷；连续抨击，攻击

 

They were separated. Then both Jack and his mom grabbing onto trees. There's boats and helicopters coming.

 

What? I am. I can climb higher, but I'm okay. Are you high? Mom, are you in a tree? There's boats coming.

 

They weren't boats, but cars floating by. Lindsay, grateful Jack was okay.

 

I don't think there's a word that describes the overwhelming, oh my God, there's my baby, and he's alive.

 

Thank God he's alive. He's alive. He's alive.

 

And in a remarkable turn, Lindsay's two daughters were at Camp Mystic where so many little girls were lost. Like their cousins, Eloise and Georgia Jones, they survived.

 

It was unlivable, and that's when we got news that people had vanished from their cabins, and that's when we realized truly something terrible happened.

 

unlivable [ʌnˋlɪvəb!] adj. 不适于居住的

 

We're not running. We're not going to hide from anything.

 

Officials here grilled about the county's lack of answers about warning systems in a region nicknamed Flash Flood Alley.

 

grill [grɪl] v.【口】拷问，盘问（犯人等）

 

Those are important questions. We will answer those questions. I wish y'all would bear with me in that.

 

ABC News Learning Kerr County commissioners discussed some sort of a flood warning system 20 times just since 2016. And finally, in April, authorizing a contract worth up to $73,000 to develop a system.

 

Council Member Ray Howard fuming. That just blows me away. That's unfathomable that I never worked on it. This is lives.

 

fume [fjum] v. 发怒；怒气冲冲地说话

blow someone away 使…大为惊讶

unfathomable [ʌnˋfæðəməb!] adj. 不可理解的

 

This is people's. This is families. This is heartbreaking.

 

And just 20 miles downriver from here in Comfort, Texas, they have sirens and test them every day at noon. Every day at noon, every day at noon, that siren goes off, alerting people that the system is working. Authorities say those sirens save lives.

 

And back upriver tonight, we're learning more about those families lost here. Water just started coming, like, super fast.

 

Leo Romero Jr. turns 19 today. He watched his father, stepmother, and his two-year-old brother ripped away from their home.

 

I don't want to say I accepted it, but no, I mean, I thought I was going to die.

 

His father, Leo, remembered for having the sweetest smile.

 

Leo's wife, Natalia, is the kindest living soul. And Carlos is a sweet little boy who loved to play, smile, and laugh.

 

And David, just a short time ago, Texas Governor Greg Abbott announcing a special session of the state legislature that will largely focus on flood preparation and relief.

 

session [ˋsɛʃən] n. 会议，集会

 

And just a reminder, Comfort, Texas, 15 miles down river from here, it only cost them $70,000 to buy those two sirens there. David?

 

Those sirens that definitely saved lives. We know this emergency meeting is just days from now.

 

Matt, we'll stay on this, of course, for the people of Texas. Thank you.

 

08:57 27 million from Carolinas to Pennsylvania under severe thunderstorm, flood threats

 

Tonight, we're also watching very closely a line of scattered storms north of Kerrville, where Matt was just outside that area.

 

And in the east at this hour, there are also damaging thunderstorms and now flash flood watches in effect from Washington, D.C., right up through Philadelphia. So let's get right back to Chief Meteorologist Ginger Zee, back with us again tonight. Ginger, first, Texas, of course, and you're tracking storms there again?

 

Yes, and they're just north of Kerr County.

 

So you can see them on the map. We're talking about the storms one to three inches that will fall really quickly. Even a flash flood warning in place for the town of Brady.

 

You see how they're kind of sinking south? Be aware of that tonight, especially in Hill Country. Now, it's going to dry out Thursday and Friday before rain comes back for the weekend. Ruidoso, though, under a flood watch again at this hour, because we see the futurecast moving through 8, 9 p.m. mountain time.

 

futurecast 未來預測、未來展望

 

That's another storm that could produce an inch or two really quickly. And that swollen river has not gone all the way down yet.

 

Let's go to the east. Washington, D.C. is currently in a flash flood warning. We've just heard reports of trees into cars. Severe thunderstorm warnings are happening from there into Virginia.

 

Richmond about to get hit with that line as well. Delaware, New Jersey, Philadelphia, you still have it ahead of you. We're going to get rid of this entire thing after midnight.

 

As you can see that severe thunderstorm watches up. But many of these storms are moving slowly. They could produce two to three inch per hour rainfall rates, David.

 

Three, level three out of four for flash flooding.

 

All right, watching these storms here in the east through midnight, Ginger says. And Ginger, we thank you.

 

 

10:22 Police: 1-year-old boy dead after mom allegedly leaves sons inside hot car in California

 

There's no shortage of heartbreak tonight because we move on now to authorities and their new warning amid the rising number of hot car deaths involving children in this country.

 

Tonight, a young mother is now facing charges accused of leaving her two sons in the car while she went to get a cosmetic procedure. The temperature outside above 100 and one of the boys did not survive.

 

cosmetic procedure 美容手術

 

Here's Kayna Whitworth.

 

Tonight, a 20 year old mother in California facing child abuse and manslaughter charges after allegedly leaving her two young sons in a 100 degree car while she had a cosmetic procedure. The one year old later dying at the hospital.

 

Their grandmother haunted by what the boys endured. They were strapped in their car seats. They couldn't even get up to save themselves.

 

She literally locked them in their car seats and shut the doors.

 

According to arrest documents, Maya Hernandez told police she left the car running with the air conditioning on when she went into a med spa. But investigators say the engine automatically turned off.

 

Authorities say one year old Amilo Gutierrez's body temperature measured 107 degrees. So far, 14 hot car deaths have been reported this year. Newly released body camera video shows police outside an Atlanta mall breaking into a car to rescue two toddlers locked inside after someone passing by called 911.

 

Police say the real feel temperature inside the car was 117 degrees.

 

And David, that California mother now being held on more than a million dollars bond. Authorities think her two children were in that hot car with no air conditioning for nearly 90 minutes. David,

12:06 Russia launches largest aerial assault on Ukraine hours after Trump's criticism of Putin

 

Next tonight here, just hours after President Trump lashed out at Vladimir Putin, Putin responding with the largest airstrike on Ukraine since Russia invaded. Rachel Scott at the White House.

 

Just hours after President Trump railed against Vladimir Putin, saying he's very nice all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless.

 

rail [rel] v. 责骂；挑剔；抱怨[（+at/against）]

 

The Russian leader unleashing his largest aerial assault yet on Ukraine, firing more than 700 drones into the country. It comes as Trump makes it clear his patience with Putin is wearing thin.

 

wear thin 逐渐失去作用或消失

 

We get a lot of thrown at us by Putin for you want to know the truth.

 

He's very nice all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless.

 

The administration now resuming weapons shipments to Ukraine, shipments the Pentagon put on pause last week. The president has insisted he didn't know who ordered the pause.

 

Yesterday, you said that you were not sure who ordered the munitions halted to Ukraine. Have you since been able to figure that out?

 

Well, I haven't thought about it because we're looking at Ukraine right now and munitions, but I have no, I have not gotten into it.

 

President Trump today saying he's now considering sending even more weapons to Ukraine, including granting the request for another Patriot air defense system.

 

When you talk about a system like that, highly sophisticated, tremendous amount of money, and they're doing it because they want to prevent death. They're getting hit hard, very hard. So we're looking at it.

 

And David, President Trump has long praised Russian President Vladimir Putin. The question now, is this a real turning point in their relationship? Putin has not responded directly to those attacks from the president. David.

 

Rachel Scott at the White House for us. Rachel, thank you.

Police say her body was found the next morning near 100 Acre Island, which is only accessible by boat. The coroner later ruling her death a homicide. No suspects identified so far.

 

When you have a case where you don't know who committed this act, things that are found on her, near her, etc. may give the police some clues.

 

Stewart was working as a contractor and had previously been a marine biologist, lobsterman and boat captain.

16:59 Son searching for parents after Texas floods hopes tragedy will bring people together

 

Finally tonight, we won't forget that son we met searching for his mother and father in Texas and what we learned late today.

 

We heard from so many of you at home after our interview here last night. So many of you moved by the man we met along the Guadalupe River, Robert Brake. Hey, Robert.

 

Oh, man. I'm sorry. I'm sorry you're dealing with this.

 

Thank you guys. He has been there every day since the 4th of July looking for his parents, Robert and Johnny Brake, who were swept away in their cabin.

 

You've been out every day.

 

Yes, sir. Yes, sir. His brother and his brother's girlfriend escaping their RV nearby.

 

And this is the video of that RV being swept away just moments later. And by the time his brother could then make it to his parents cabin, they were gone. So many of the cabins had been washed away.

 

We were there for the moment. Robert's wife texted him the last known photo of his father. His father's back right there at the edge of the stone pier, his brother to the side.

 

Both were fishing the day before this all happened.

 

My father and that's my brother just there.

 

I know it's hard.

 

If you ever wanted to see the kind of man he was, there it is. He's patient, humble, spending time with people he loves. That's my father. That's my father.

 

And just a short time ago, Robert telling us his father's remains have been found. He believes they were found miles and miles away.

 

remains [rɪˋmenz] n. 遗体

 

And he is hopeful tonight that his mother will now be found near his father. And Robert telling us he has received thousands of messages from strangers all over this country.

If we can be this kind to everybody every day, this will be a much better place.

 

We will not forget what he told us.

 

And tonight, his message about his own parents and his hope for the rest of us.

 

If my parents' tragedy brings people together in this country, if that's what my parents' tragedy created for one day, I can live with that.

 

Some common humanity.

I'll see you tomorrow. Good night.
