here you can see the remnants of manuel. notice the stream of tropical moisture making its way into the u.s. not like last night. it's shifting a little bit farther east and we are going to be looking at texas and we are going to be looking out towards arkansas and louisiana and you can see the moisture headed their way. seems like a good thing since texas had a drought but when you see that, you see more runoff and flooding potential. this is heavy rain. we are expecting it to go through the weekend. to 5 inches in louisiana and arkansas and mississippi and this will make headlines this weekend as the heavy storms start to form. the mixed bag. can you see the drought conditions throughout the region which, again, sounds good and they are getting that rain but it means flooding potential is high as the ground can't handle as much water as normally a place that would get more rain could. look at the temperatures in the midwest. these are the highs from yesterday and now look at the drop. huge drop! we are talking about 70s in

behind me, some of them are tourists just desperate to get home. 40,000 tourists were stranded here when manuel hit on sunday. only about 15,000 have managed to get out. that's because the airport was flooded. the main roads were cut off. there's a glimmer of hope today for them. that's because the main highway to mutual fund monday cocity is opening back up. nonetheless, we've seen hundreds and hundreds of people waiting in lines, scrambling to get on these emergency flights because there's no guarantee these roadses will be 100%. they were covered in mud and rock. so it's just a vet cautious opening. if they can, they're still trying to get out on these flights. then of course, there are the many communities where the rescue work continues. 68 missing. we just don't know what has happened to them and what will come of that, suzanne. >> unbelievable. that picture we're showing right there, thanks so much. that hill just fell down the side of the mountain and buried half a village. absolutely horrifying for those people there. that's where a lot of those missing people are, by the way. >> a tra
