zone. >> with his young administration recently moving from crisis to crisis, trump is attempting to regain his footing and reclaim the narrative by going into campaign mode. now, he held a campaign-style rally at a boeing plant in south carolina yesterday and later today in central florida he's going to hold an actual campaign rally. that's right, just four weeks into his presidency, we're already talking about 2020. this day is being organized by his re-election campaign, not by the white house. already in campaign mode. but we do want to start with that severe weather on the west coast. a major storm slamming southern california. look at this airport in santa barbara where flooding shut down this runway with up to 9 inches of water, just one of many startling images and we have team coverage and start with rob who is in pacific palisades. rob, good morning to you. >> good morning, dan. it's still raining here and the waves continue to pound the coastline of southern california after one of the worst storms this area has seen in the last

decade. wins gusting over 100 miles an hour, over 8 inches of rain in spots. take a look at the radar. stretching out and weakening but the core, the heaviest in phoenix, las vegas, we might see some flash flooding there and maybe thunderstorms across parts of california. so flash flood watches are still up. we have another storm that is lining up for northern and central california tomorrow night and that comes in really during the day on monday. going to be a nasty day for the bay area. winds potentially damaging and rain potentially over 5 inches in spots. that area still straining it's infrastructure worried about the oroville dam and the infrastructure here was strained making for a bad rush hour, landslides and dangerous sinkholes happening late in the day yesterday a our marci gonzalez is live near one of those in studio city this morning. good morning, marci. >> reporter: it is a massive sinkhole. more than 10 feet deep. so deep it swallowed a van and a car. now, both vehicles have been

pulled out of this sinkhole. there's also a woman rescued from this hole. she told rescuers she thought she was going to die. the gigantic hole opening up without warning, rescuers finding the woman standing on her upside down car as a river of water surrounds her pulling her to safety. minutes later --- >> there it goes. >> it's crazy. i turned around for a second and the second car fell into the sinkhole. >> reporter: that second driver able to get out of the car before it fell in. the powerful storm also eroding freeways leaving this fire truck dangling off the edge of interstate 15. the firefighters inside escaping before the roadway gave out. around los angeles, other roadways overwhelmed by the floodwaters forcing drivers to abandon their cars. >> i never seen it like this around here. >> a commute from hell. >> reporter: this mountainside giving way threatening homes below.

>> there goes the tree. >> there it goes. >> the whole thing is sliding. huge sections of interstate 138 turning into a muddy swamp. firefighters struggling to free stranded drivers. so far at least four people killed by the storm. the driver in this car unable to get out before the floodwaters rushed in. a driver in front of them had to be rescued. another man electrocuted by downed power lines. damaging winds ripping the metal off of this tractor trailer. massive trees crushing cars. this man barely escaping in time. in huntington beach this man fighting against the heavy winds and rain trying to walk along the pier. during the height of the storm more than 78,000 customers lost power in los angeles county alone. fortunately the power is on here and they have been putting it to good use throughout the night securing this area. and incredibly the woman who was rescued from this sinkhole is expected to be okay. she was taken to a hospital and was last listed in fair condition.

>> marci, thank you. now to politics. slamming the media in a new tweet saying don't believe the mainstream fake news media. the white house is running very well. i inherited a mess and in the process of fixing it. mike pence is making his first overseas trip speaking at a security conference in germany with questions swirling about the controversy. mary bruce has the latest. >> reporter: good morning. well, the president has escaped washington as he tries to escape some of these challenges of his first month in office back in his element talking to voters hitting that economic message that got him elected and as you mentioned he's looking ahead, just 30 days in and already campaigning for a second term. president trump is back on the

road. >> we're here today to celebrate american engineering and american manufacturing. we're also here today to celebrate jobs, jobs. >> reporter: touring a boeing plant in south carolina touting their new plane. >> the name says it all, dreamliner. great name. >> reporter: just one month after taking office, trump's in campaign mode literally. later today holding his first campaign rally for the 2020 election. and he is setting high expectations. >> i'll be in melbourne, florida. and i heard, just heard that the crowds are massive that want to be there. >> reporter: a change in venue for the president this weekend but not a change in tone when it comes to the press. trump tweeting, the fake news media is not my enemy. it is the enemy of the american people. it comes after he ripped into reporters earlier this week. >> quiet, quiet, quiet. >> reporter: focusing on the press over policy during his

77-minute news conference. >> the news is fake, it's all fake news. this is fake news. the press should be ashamed of themselves. >> reporter: meanwhile, vice president pence turns his attention towards security. in his first trip overseas, pence talking tough as questions mount about the administration's possible ties to russia. >> the united states will continue to hold russia accountable even as we search for new common ground, which, as you know, president trump believes can be found. >> reporter: hours before, senator john mccain at the same security conference in germany suggesting there's a long road ahead. >> in many respects this administration is in disarray and they've got a lot of work to do. >> reporter: now back here in florida, the president is hoping to change the conversation with these events. this is now the third weekend in a row that he has spent here at his mar-a-lago estate. dan and paula. >> mary, thank you. let's bring in amy holmes, a conservative political analyst who works for rasmussen reports. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> i know you like my pronunciation on that.

>> i did. i love the emphasis. >> you schooled me before we came on the air, just so everybody knows. let's start with today's rally. remarkable as we said he's holding a campaign rally organized by his 2020 re-election campaign just a month into his presidency. why is he doing this? >> because we're covering it, and it's his way to reach the american people through the media. he doesn't have to bring the camera. we're bringing the camera. we're going to be broadcasting it. if you turn on your cable news this afternoon, i'm sure you'll see donald trump delivering his message and as he said in his thursday press conference, which i found fascinating, he said, i'm making my case to the american people and the press get to be present. >> speaking of the press, there seems to be this battle brewing between the press and trump. i want to talk about that tweet yesterday, he called the media, quote, the enemy of the american people. do you think this is a blatant undermining of the media and freedom of the press, the first amendment?

>> well, those are two very separate questions. i do think that it is a tactic on the part of the president to undermine the press, to blunt their impact on his administration, all of the negative stories that are coming out, many of which i would say i think are a little half baked. a lot of insinuation, light on fact, very heavy on accusation and donald trump is saying to the american people, don't believe everything you read. and you -- and guess what, at rasmussen reports we found out throughout the campaign and even last month in january that a majority of americans, likely voters, say they don't trust the media and think the media is biased and biased against donald trump. your second question, is this an attack on the first amendment and the fourth estate? yes, of course, it is but is it an attack on the truth, well, that's up to us to keep reporting it. >> let me ask you about something that's going to be interesting to watch unfold, this week congress is on break. members going back to their home districts and many of them holding town halls, a lot of left wing activists are vowing to show up and make noise. not dissimilar to what the tea party did here. are we seeing the beginning of a

tea party on the left and is it likely to be a powerful force? >> i think we are and one of the really interesting reports that i saw is that the progressive left is thinking about challenging democrats in primaries. remember, that's what the tea party did to republicans. they fielded their own candidates to put republican feet to the fire. you know, this energy that we're seeing post-election, post-inauguration coming from the progressive left with all the marches, with all the rallies. at first it looked very diffuse like what is the cause. now it's starting to gain focus and if they can field these candidates to actually challenge democrats, you might see a left wing tea party in the making. >> we're seeing a lot here in the dynamic of politics, perhaps for many years to come. amy holmes from rasmussen, thanks. >> come back. it's great to have you. a woman arrested in this killing claims she thought she

was taking part in a prank tv show. abc's jennifer eccleston is on the story from our london bureau. jennifer, good morning to you. >> reporter: dan, this morning the investigation into the death of kim jong-nam taking another interesting turn with an international he said/she said raging across several asian nations. this morning, north korea vowing not to accept the outcome of today's second autopsy of kim jong-nam, the older half brother of dictator kim jong-un. >> they're deceiving us. >> reporter: the investigation complicated by an assortment of asian nations seemingly add odds. on friday indonesian officials weighing in on the international murder mystery reporting one suspect is believed to be the victim of a deadly deception. >> the whole story doesn't really work for me. >> reporter: according to the investigators, the 25-year-old woman, an indonesian living in malaysia, told police she

thought she was part of a hidden camera tv show spraying kim jong-nam along with several others in the face for laughs with no knowledge of the possible dangerous chemicals inside. south korea, however, is calling kim jong-nam's death an assassination by north korean agents. >> the public shouldn't assume that this is a prank. there's every indication based on north korea's history that this was a targeted kill. >> reporter: and overnight a fourth suspect carrying a north korean i.d. was arrested by malaysian police. and this morning malaysian authorities are requesting a matching dna sample from family before releasing the body of kim jong-nam and that's unlikely to come from the highly secretive dynasty. dan and paula. >> head scratching details for sure. jennifer eccleston, thank you. back at home in indiana authorities are intensifying their efforts to find a suspect responsible for murdering two

teenage girls, abc's adrienne bankert has more on the story. >> reporter: this morning sorrow turning into frustration and anger. neighbors in delphi, indiana, stunned as the tragic murders of two teenage girls remain unsolved. >> i think it's terrible. makes me sick to my stomach going down to the bridge thinking one of my friends died down there. >> reporter: the hunt for whoever killed 13-year-old abigail williams and 14-year-old liberty german entering its sixth day. police looking into hundreds of tips searching this farmhouse near the crime scene. >> we're checking the cell foaps. we're checking social media places. we're looking at every possible option. >> reporter: search teams scouring the majestic trails where the girls were dropped off to go hiking monday around 1:00 p.m. just after 2:00 p.m. liberty snapchats this photo of abby walking across the bridge. at 3:00 p.m. the girls were scheduled to be picked up but never returned. their bodies found tuesday in rough wooded terrain less than a

mile away. >> for them to get from there all the way here with all that rough territory, they had to walk. >> reporter: investigators want to speak to the man in this photo believed to have been in the area at the same time as the girls. police saying he may be a witness. this morning only calling him a person of interest. >> we have no suspects at this point in time, and we need information. >> reporter: residents in this close-knit city of just about 2,800 are on edge wondering if whoever committed the crime is someone they know. and hundreds came out for the search. it's expected that a large crowd will be attending the girls' viewer later today, which will be held at the delphi high school gym. just a heartbreaking and cruel story. i mean, you think about these two little girls and we still don't know how they died. >> and no suspects yet. thanks very much, adrienne. >> we are thinking about their families this morning. adrienne, thank you very much. let's get it back to rob who is in pacific palisades, california, covering the big weather news out there. hey, rob. >> hey, good morning, dan. this surf is just rocking behind me. this is an area known for its surfing but yesterday was way
