mary's. so i would urge you to adopt the legislation, but strike the provision requiring that any net pro seeds from the sale of t.d.r. from tfer lots, again, transfer lots of some 450, that that provision be strin. thank you. -- stricken. thank you. >> good afternoon, my name is charles coleman. up until two months ago, i was pastor of old st. mary's cathedral and got transferred from my religious community in austin, texas. i'm glad to be with you this afternoon. i worked on this project for the last eight years prior to that in terms of getting old st. mary's seismically retrofitted and off the u.m.b. list. i'm here to assure you that regardless of what the legislation states or will state, all these proceeds that come to old st. mary's will basically go into historical preservation and renovation of the building. we have completed the second phase which completed all of the technical seismic work, the exact seismic work. we still owe a debt of $518,468 on that phase, which is completed. t

mary's. they're very worthy of the scheme that has been developed, but this legislation goes far beyond what is needed to take care of old st. mary's. the concern is the t.d.r. scheme worked because we were telling owners of buildings that they couldn't use the development potential of their site, they had to keep the building that was there, but as "compensation," they could sell their unused development potential. we're very concerned that requiring those proceeds to be used for maintenance undercuts the rationale for the t.d.r. scheme and i think will inhibit the continued workability of the t.d.r. scheme. that provision is not needed to take care of st. mary's, though the preservation mandate applies to those 450 buildings that were protected by the downtown plan. obviously, that goes far beyond what is needed to take care of old st. mary's. so i would urge you to adopt the legislation, but strike the provision requiring that any net pro seeds from the sale of t.d.r. from tfer lots, again

mary's county, saint indigos through sane maries. leonardtown, calvert county, any of these storms may go severe or even tornadic. little tornadoes but still over the next few hours. talking an it. we are looking at flood warnings with all of the rain we have had. covering the met tremendous right now until 10:45 a.m. i want to throw it over to devon lucie because we are getting totals in an some are impressive. >> calvert county, the worst of the rain coming in over southern maryland. flash flood warning there several roads are closed in the north beach area and flash flood has close route 17 in parts of northern virginia, spotsylvania county and near belvedere, too. log on to wusa9.com and we have storm reports from you. telling us four plus inches in southern maryland. click on the storm reports if you go the weather tab. submit your report and get it to our in box and keeps us updated on what is coming down where you are. >> calvert and sane mary's county, four plus inches already. the tornado watch we are talking about. it cover

mary's. that, too, is going to be moving in and heading off to the north and west, and perhaps impacting the metro area as we get into the later part of the afternoon hours. now let's check the impact on trfic around the region. jerry, how's it looking? >> m, very miserable. we'll start on the maryland side, inner loop of the beltway, right side of your screen. authorities are trying to remove a jackknifed tractor trailer on the inner loop just after the exit of the i-270 spurt but old georgetown road. right now police are telling us the shoulder may be getting by under police direction. right now we're just going to say that all traffic is blocked so stay away from that stretch. 270 spur the left side of your screen is the alternate. but what's very dangerous now, folks are actually stoping in the travel portion of the northbound spurt, trying to merge over here. because obviously they don't know the beltway's shut down. so, st up with us we'll keep you updated on that. now 270 southbound ha

mary's county. let's take a look at the day part. i think it's important to know we're going to get a break in the action through the midday but this is not an all clear. there will be an equally heavy amount of rain coming our way through the afternoon and the evening hours. this is going to hit us in two different waves today. expect before it's over-- it's over and done with, three to six inches of rain. >> part of interstate 70 is closed. here's sharon with wjz traffic control. >>> we also have several lanes on the beltway blocked. that's going to be on the west side outer loop, an area of wilkens. we have an area blocking three right lanes. on to the problem on 70, all lanes remain blocked on 70 eastbound. that's between u.s. 29 and the patapsco river bridge. they hope to have did cleared by 8 a.m. traffic is being detoured with a backup to baltimore national pike. watch for an accident on the beltway that one will be on the outer loop at 795. a car spun out there. the second accident involving

mary's, an important part in my district. this has been an important part in chinatown, and as we have discussed in prior meetings, it is an institution that is in danger of collapsing in the event of an earthquake. there is a severe need for additional seismic work. this legislation conversation started many, many months ago as a way to figure out how to direct the proceeds from the sale of old st. mary's transferrable rights, tdr rights, to preserve this important building. i want to thank the commission for the work they did over many months to bring forth this legislation, which would strengthen the connection between the sales and the preservation of historic properties. what i would like to ask the committee to do today, colleagues, is to move item two to the full board tomorrow, the report, and and to amend item three and then continue it for a week, because -- and then to amend item. and continue it for a week because what we are doing with it is significant. -- and then to amend item 3 and continue it. we want to mak

mary's. they're very worthy of the scheme that has been developed, but this legislation goes far beyond what is needed to take

mary's county until 7:00 a.m. so another 40 minutes to go as this system moving towards the north at 40 miles per hour. tornado warning for southeastern calvert county and eastern st. mary's county until 7:00 a.m. on top of this warning, we also have a tornado watch in effect until 1:00 p.m. this afternoon. also a wind advisory to the south and east of d.c. until 6:00 p.m. and a flash flood warning for the entire metro area until 6:00 p.m. this inc. so a lot -- this evening. so a lot going on. that's why we have doppler radar indicating tornado warnings. nothing has touched the ground at this point. look at the rain totals. 6.2 inches in fairfax as of midnight. annapolis closing in on the two-inch mark and bethesda almost 1 1/2 inches since midnight. rain totals for today, impressive. anywhere from two-five inches of rain. heading toward the delmarva peninsula, could be looking to as much as six inches before the rain heads out. today, 72-78 degrees. conditions will improve during the overnight hours as the skies

mary's. they've had 6 to 8 inches since midnight and through the morning hours and into the afternoon it should begin to taper off there a little bit as well, thankfully, as we'll see a little bit of a dry period cominin. as i mentioned, unfortunately, we may get some more rain later on tonight. maybe several more inches perhaps later tonight that may cause more flooding. jerry, how is our traffic? >> time to take a live look in northeast washington. this is the flooding. as peteold us earlier, some folks had to be rescued. it's a low-lying area of rhode island avenue traveling through ortheast. just an example. to the beltway in maryland, tractor-trailer accident on the inner loop near the 270 spur. fire and rescue crews have just been dispatched. be careful. plan accordingly. be aware conditions are still very, very difficult. barbara? >> thank you, jerry and tom. and that's nws 4 midday for today. we thank you for being with us and invite you to tune in at 4:00, 5:00, and 6:00 and then lat

mary and i started talking and texting, and it kind of just went from there. >> reporter: mary did the recruiting, or -- >> we were texting and talking before he and i were texting or talking. >> what happened is, we stop in to see friends of ours that happen to be relatives of robin, mary and robin hit it off. as we're driving away mary is going, hey, what do you think? >> reporter: this is the image many americans have of polygamy. se kre tef societies, women wearing prairie dresses. young girls allegedly abused and church leaders standing trial. is it your hope by exposing your lives that you'll counter some of the negative publicity that's been out there? >> that's one of the biggest things. we have so many stereotypes and so much bad media about this life p lifestyle. there's not abuse in our home. we don't have underage brides we don't have all the other things that are actually very wrong and our children are happy. >> reporter: do you think your arrangement is a good one for raising children? >> very good one. >> for this family it is. >> we feel like our children are very well

. >> i'm mary bubala. here's what people are talking about tonight. >> police say the suspect was upset about his mother's condition when he shot a johns hopkins doctor and then shot and killed his own mother before taking his life. we know the identity of a doctor who was shot. he was dr. cohen. derek valcourt is following what happened. mike schuh and andrea fujii has reaction. we begin with derek valcourt for an update on the identity of the gunman. >> reporter: police identified him as 50-year-old paul warren hardis of arlington, virginia. he has been responsible for creating hours of chaos here at one of the world's most prominent hospitals. police say just after 11:00 this morning, a patient's son became emotionally distraught as a doctor explained to him his mother's medical condition. the son then pulled out a gun and shot the doctor. >> collapsed outside the doorway of the room, and mr. davis was last seen running into the room brandishing the handgun in the direction of his mother, who's confined

i talked to james and mary about this earlier in the program. i want to read what the president said to "rolling stone" magazine. he said "i could have had a knockdown, drag-out fight on the election that would have energized you and the huffington post. what are we trying to do here? keep everybody ginned up for the next election or win elections because you're actually trying to govern? you have heard, amy goodman, that from the president. the vice president said last night stop whining, get out and vote or you'll get the other side. is that enough to convince you to set aside differences? >> it's interesting the mascot of the university of wisconsin is the badger. i think that the president has gone to madison to badger his base. i think the issue is what he promised leading up to the election and what he has delivered. and there's no one better to symbolize that than the senator of wisconsin who now faces a real battle. that's russ feingold. look, russ feingold did not support the surge in afghanistan. he did not support the usa patriot act.

i will start with mary. >> thank you. i thought all this testimony from the community speakers was incredibly moving and shows a wide range of issues that really has to be addressed. i guess i slipped into my pragmatic mode at some point and try to figure out what the calculation is, basically in terms of what the market will bear. it is clear, political pressure from around the country is often what helps to determine that, but we can also tell by watching how things develop, that there are forces impinging on what will actually get accomplished. i think the critical thing is to remember there are two ways that we can influence what the government does. there is the legislative, cir approach, and there is the administrative reform. some of which does not require legislation. some of the stories we were hearing, particularly from the business perspective, is about changing the way people do business, in terms of the government, changing the way we think about the relationships that exist. a lot of that can be done by pres

mary and i started talking and texting, and it kind >> reporter: mary did the >> we were texting and talking before he and i were texting or >> what happened is, we stop in to see friends of ours that happen to be relatives of robin, mary and robin hit it off. as we're driving away, mary is going, hey, what do you think? many americans have of polygamy. se kre tef societies, women wearing prairie dresses. young girls allegedly abused and church leaders standing trial. is it your hope by exposing your lives that you'll counter some of the negative publicity that's been out there? >> that's one of the biggest we have so many stereotypes and so much bad media about this life there's not abuse in our home. we don't have underage brides, we don't have all the other things that are actually very happy. raising children? >> very good one. >> for this family it is. >> we feel like our children are very well balanced. they're proud of their big family. and they love telling their and, i think that they are turning out very well balanced. >> they'll be very decent >> reporter: do you want your

. >> you want to elaborate, mary? >> we do have jobs opening up in phoenix and we are working with companies opening up jobs in warehouse, financial services, but the nature of those are entry level positions. what we're not seeing a lot of is that idea that there are some, there are not a lot of middle income jobs opening up. so people that we bring in, what a i called the degree professionals, are having to look outside the state for work. >> mary, thank you so much for your story and sympathies for the struggles. diane, congratulations on the great piece. author of the article. mary wolf francis, one of the americans every day who is living through the stories we describe and debate in this environment. we can't thank you enough, mary, for sharing your story. >>> coming up, did steven colbert make a mockery of congress today? of course. or did lawmakers take care of that mockery without any help from colbert? that's probably also true. >>> plus, chris christie leaping to defend meg whitman at a california fund-rais

mary's county. this is an area of some perhaps very heavy rain and there may be some circulation now being reporte on radar, it does appear there is me circulation here just to the north of prince frederick. that is traveling to the north. it's moving icklyand moving into southern anne arundel county here perhaps in another ten minutes or so. this is the heaviest downpour right nowhat's in the region. and this does show some circulation just now coming in from northern and eastern st. mary's county into southern, now calvert and central calvert counties. this continuing to move off to the north, and will continue to track into anne arundel county in the next few minutes. so definitely stay away from windows. get to an interior room. if you don't have a basement, get into a closet if you sense that there is strong wind coming towards you. but this is going to be affecting, again, northern st. mary's county where it meets the calvert county line, and across calvert county into anne arundel county over

now, mary katharine, i think it would have been smarter for ms. o'donnell to show up with chris wallace and i think she cancelled the cbs program as well, correct? >> look, yeah, i'm sure she has a lot of fans in the fox audience that would have been nice. she would have faced tough questions. and she could have gone after coons for being a tax hiker there would have been opportunity as well. i don't think it's strategically wrong the problem is that she committed and then didn't go. >> bill: i liked the fact that she actually called wallace. that was good. you can have a picnic in delaware with all due respect any time you want. and an invitation on two national programs on sunday when all the media is looking forward to it everybody would pick it up, you know. it just seems to me, i don't know, juan, i'm trying to be fair to christine o'donnell. she has been on this program a number of times. we have some kind of crazy stuff that she said. we're not going to play it yet. i don't think it's relevant yet. we still like ms. o'donnell to come on the

mary's city, as well. east of leonardtown. any of those cells have possibility of producing a short-lived tornado. i will be back shortly. over to you. >>> as howard told us we are under a flood watch until this afternoon and right now we want to take a look at things close to the district. jessica doyle is live from old town alexandria, which is always a place with concerns of flooding. good morning, jess. >> reporter: good morning, andrea. that's right. we are here in old town alexandria. we are on king street, right where it terminates by the waterfront and i want to give you a sense of how it is raining this morning. you can see it is coming down. we have seen it coming down at a fast clip in some instances. i want to take you for a walk over here. we have a storm drain and this will be an indicator for us of how quickly the rain is coming down. you can hear it coming down. we see a lot of ponding in the waterways because of the rain we have gotten. we want to show you video. we have video of storm prep are from yesterday.

mary's county. that could be the next tornado warning we are looking at and heavy rains also south of fredericksburg. devon, let's zoom in to calvert and st. mary's county where it is really coming down. folks trying to come in on route 4 and route 2 it will be will have really, really tough. here's saint leonard over lusby. good luck. going to mechanicsville. and 301 by the way, moderate rains there, but it is torrential. from saint leonard south of lusby. again a very difficult ride this morning. all of this is lifting to the north. here we go. i believe these are the storm totals. one hour or three hour. >> storm total here. >> these are storm totals. i want to show you the numbers. these are storm totals not one hour. four inches here between hollywood and mechanicsville. we drop off to one to two inches in southern maryland and you can see the six-inch storm totals that are coming in the northern neck. we are just beginning. some of this is from yesterday, as well. and these heavy rains a littl

we have had rain totals of ten inches in saint mary's county. to the north and west, rain totals one to three inches. more manageable but drought conditions extreme to severe in northern virginia. i want to show you what is going on. this storm system is pulling to the north a little bit now. we are seeing the rain shut down there in parts of southwestern virginia, heading over to charlottesville. much quieter. over to culpeper, much quieter but that batch of tropical moisture is involved and while we have a lull now we believe we will see more rain moving up toward us as we get in to later this evening and overnight. eastern sections, even if it stops for a while, we don't think we are done with the rains yet. and with all of the rain we idea, look at the counties under flash flood warnings through 4:30 this afternoon. weather service will re- evaluate and may expand this and we have had a lot of rain. chief meteorologist topper shutt has been watching the totals. we are both amazed by this in yeah. really you have to go back to agnes in ' 72 o

mary, mary, mary. they do not all form off the coast of africa although many of them do. particularly touring -- many of them do, particularly during the peak of hurricane season. i'm going to get tucker involved because he is better with the science. it is essentially tropical waves that come off the west coast of africa, move out into the atlantic so -- ocean where the waters are warm. >> what happens, you get little kinks in the atmosphere and you get spun in the foyer as these waves come off the coast of africa. we call them easterly waves. during the peak of hurricane season, which is right now, that spin in the atmosphere, sometimes showers and thunderstorms can originate and grow up and around that spin. this is where you get the storm development. you meningitissed that they don't all originate off the coast of africa. many times, they can originate in the gulf of mexico or off old frontal systems that hang out across the gulf or across the southern atlantic. >> typically, however the strongest hurricanes that we see do originate off the coast of africa from the t
