to offer much protection. >> hawaii might have been a false alarm, but next time it might be real. so they should have a fallout plan. the mayor should have one. >> reporter: hawaii senators say fema is launching an investigation into the incident. also the fcc is sending two officials to hawaii to help develop new protocols for the emergency alert system there. in los angeles, adam housley, fox news. the snow has stopped in the deep south but the dangerous weather is far from over. >> the slow-moving storm dumped up to 12 inches of snow in north carolina. other southern states got snow. at least 10 people died. the snow tapered off this morning. there are still dangerous conditions in the area because of cold temperatures and black ice. a police officer in charlotte took the opportunity to have some fun in the snow and to issue a social media challenge. that officer in short sleeves, there he is, stopped and made a snow angel posted the video and then challenged other people to see who could do the

best job. it's been viewed thousands of times in the past 24 hours and other people now including the city's mayor got in on the snow angel challenge. not your usual swim practice. this was the scene this morning for the virginia beach swim team. despite heavy snowfall in the area, practice went on. the swimmers say despite the cold conditions and the snow, they were comfortable in the water because the pool was heated to 82 degrees. that's always fun when you're in really warm water but it's cold. >> getting out. >> outside, yeah. >> okay. let's check the forecast now with chief meteorologist bill martin. >> you just described a hot tub. tahoe snowing 104. >> getting out is sketchy. >> yeah. they have had some crazy cold weather and snow out there. we have had just kind of drizzle, wet weather all day. um, but that's going to continue all night. i think by the time it's all done we could see a quarter inch to half inch of rain in some places. we have already seen a half inch in the north bay.

um, so here's -- these numbers have been updated since last time we -- we talked. not big differences but it's going to keep coming. the models and the radar not picking up on a lot of this. copious amounts of moisture are moving in. without a lot of dynamic, but the coastal hills, mount tam, mount diablo, mount hamilton, those lifting dynamics or those hills are causing a lot of the rain. we have had nearly an inch of rain on the south side of twin peaks area out in south san francisco. i can't verify that. that's one of the observations. but that would make sense, south wind, moisture hitting the side of the hill there and condensing out. um, the afternoon commute is slow and messy. it's not heavy rain, not, you know, like it was a couple well, last big storm we had when the commutes were just hammered. this is more of a persistent -- got a little seattle vibe to it huh, julie, doesn't it a little bit? yeah. >> total seattle weather.

>> exactly. i kind of feel -- i spent a little time in seattle but julie spent time there. that's what you get. you don't get heavy rain. you get a lot of heavy mist or light rain. here we are at midnight. it keeps coming. i suspect there will be more than what we're showing here. there will be moisture in these areas and it will be drizzle. that's 3 a.m. by the morning commute time, it should be kind of dry from the sky. foggy maybe because of the moisture, um, and wet roads. round 2 a weak pulse around noon on friday and that's it. break on saturday. break on sunday, but then sunday night, things get going again. so we'll watch that for you closely. these are the forecast highs for tomorrow. >> what are you thinking about sunday night? >> it's starting to look pretty good. >> more than just drizzle?

>> more than just drizzle. this next one might give us an inch of rain in some places, and that's a significant amount. >> that's real rain. >> that's real rain. >> and upside is they are producing snow in the mountains at lower elevations. >> that's what we need. >> thank you. it seems like a simple question. one of many asked in the census. [ pause ] >> we'll have that question for you coming up. [ laughter ] >> yeah. the question is, potentially causing trouble for some in california. and it also could potentially hurt the state financially.

a three-story home in malibu is teetering on the edge of a canyon during an active landslide. no one knows if it's from the recent rains the ones that triggered the montecito mudslides or from some type of water leak. the home is red-tagged as unsafe but it's vacant. the owner remains out of town. the home with the views of the pacific and the valley is the only home threatened in the area at this time. there is a growing controversy surrounding a new question proposed for the 2020 census. the question would ask about a resident's citizenship status. >> as reporter mike luery tells us, many people worry it would incite fear among illegal immigrants and hurt

california as a whole. reporter: julio molina lived in sacramento since childhood but is an undocumented immigrant. he is worried about a newly proposed question for the 2020 census asking people if they are a u.s. citizen. >> with that question, you're targeting undocumented immigrants. >> reporter: molina says the question puts thousands of people in the undocumented community in jeopardy. >> that means that you are likely to be targeted now. you know, you're a higher risk for deportation. >> reporter: california's top elections official, the secretary of state told us today he believes the question is politically motivated by the trump administration. >> this is yet another attack on the people of california. we embrace diversity. we embrace immigration. >> reporter: padilla is concerned about intimidation. if immigrants are afraid to participate, it could be an undercount of the population.

>> it could be the loss of billions in federal revenues and it could certainly mean the loss of a seat in the house of representatives which has never happened since california became a state in 1850. >> reporter: less power in congress and less money for california is a big concern to governor brown's administration. >> for every californian who isn't counted in the next census in 2020, we estimate that for each of those uncounted individuals the state will losenearly $2,000 per year for 10 years because of that undercount. >> reporter: that's $2,000 per person per year for the next decade. billions of dollars that won't be there to pay for healthcare, education, or transportation. what's more, the 2020 census is expected to survey most people via the internet while deemphasizing door to door counts and this person wonders if the federal government will be ready. >> they have failed to do the most recent test of the new online system.
