foreign
happy Monday sunshine I hope you had a
wonderful weekend I'm Coy wire this is
CNN 10 here to help you fuel your mind
and dominate this week and have a little
fun while doing it first though our lead
story of the day a hurricane with Fierce
winds and heavy downpours it's forced
residents in Southern California to
evacuate and First Responders to brace
for water rescues as it was expected to
slam into the U.S coastline yesterday
hurricane Hillary was a category one
storm with maximum Winds of 80 miles per
hour at the time of this recording as it
moved on a North Northwest path at 21
miles per hour it was expected to weaken
to a tropical storm before reaching the
coast but large swells were likely to
create life-threatening Surf and rip
current conditions the California
governor's office said Hillary could be
the wettest tropical cyclone in State
history and one of the most devastating
storms in more than a decade the
national ocean organic and Atmospheric
Administration or Noah said if Hillary
makes landfall in California as a
tropical storm it would be the first to
do so in the state in nearly 84 years
storms like this rarely hit California
because of the cold currents off the
coast they tend to weaken storms and act
as somewhat of a shield around western
coast there parts of California and even
Nevada and Arizona could suddenly
receive a Year's worth of rain or more
so today I assigned an emergency
declaration a proclamation in
preparation of the storms California
governor Gavin Newsom proclaimed a state
of emergency Saturday for a large swath
of Southern parts of the state with up
to 10 inches of rain expected in some
areas winds were expected to knock out
power for many on Sunday and Monday
parts of Mexico roughly a 300 Mile
Stretch along the Baja California
Peninsula were also under Hurricane
Warning with quote locally catastrophic
Flash and urban flooding a according to
the Hurricane Center CNN's Natasha Chen
was in Southern California ahead of this
rare Storm's impact
this is a weather event that's created a
lot of questions for people in Southern
California because they have never seen
a tropical storm warning and the last
time a tropical storm made landfall in
California was more than 80 years ago so
a lot of people are wondering what
exactly they should do officials have
said a lot of the preparations that
folks would have made for winter storms
and flooding months ago apply here
asking people to please take advantage
of the sandbags that are being given out
to bring materials indoors to not go
outside or drive in the weather on
Sunday and Monday if they don't have to
officials have also been very proactive
and going to outdoor areas where there
are encampments of unhoused people
trying to convince them to take shelter
inside before the storm really comes
through the most intense of which is
supposed to be Sunday afternoon at least
through the San Diego area with very
strong rains and winds we are seeing a
lot of events being canceled or
postponed in fact Major League Baseball
moved their Sunday games to Saturday
there are concerts like the ones at the
Hollywood Bowl being canceled the U.S
Navy has even temporarily moved their
ships and submarines away from San Diego
just during this storm at least until it
passes through Catalina Island in Los
Angeles County has been warned for
people just they're strongly encouraged
to leave that island that they're likely
to get hit a lot of high water rescue
vehicles pre-positioned a lot of
personnel out there ready to act as soon
as this weather comes through
in the U.S flash floods kill more people
than tornadoes hurricanes or lightning a
flash flood creates a rush of moving
water that can sweep a grown man off his
feet a car off the road and even your
entire home off its foundation
when the ground becomes so saturated
that water can no longer seep into the
soil it begins to run off quickly into
rivers and streams and this causes a
rise in water and a flash densely
populated areas have an extremely high
risk of flash flooding with the
additional Concrete in less grassy areas
for the water to soak into the soil and
they can see flash flooding very quickly
and mountainous terrain the combination
of gravity plus the easy runoff can lead
to catastrophic flooding when all of
that water is funneled into rivers
creeks and even The Valleys remember
flash flooding can happen in The Bleak
of an eye that's why it's important to
stay alert and pay attention in case a
flash flood watch or warning is issued
for your area
10 second trivia which of these
locations would be found on the moon
plain of jars Sea of Tranquility Crater
Lake or Mount Olympus
one of these sites are actually located
on earth except
of Tranquility
[Music]
chosen for its smooth flat terrain the
Sea of Tranquility was the site of the
first moon landing by the U.S in 1969
but did you know that there's a new
space race going on between the United
States China India and Russia and the
big focus is landing on the moon's
Southern pole why the lunar Southern
pole it's all about terrain and lighting
large mountains and deep craters at the
South Pole of the moon create
permanently shadowed and very cold areas
that scientists believe could hold ice
that would have valuable scientific
information but that terrain and those
conditions make for a difficult landing
and on Sunday there was a major setback
for Russia's Space Program Ross Cosmos
Russia's space agency reported that
their Luna 25 spacecraft crashed into
the surface of the Moon this was set to
be Russia's first lunar lander in 47
years the pilotless craft would have
been the first ever craft to land on the
moon's South Pole but it went spinning
uncontrollably while in orbit so next up
is India India's pilotless craft is
scheduled to make a lunar Landing there
just two days from now India's last
attempt to land on the moon in 2019
ended with that craft also crashing into
the moon's surface the U.S well they're
aiming to be the first country to land
there with a crude Mission planned for
2025. China they're also hoping to land
there before the end of the decade as it
stands only the United States the Soviet
Union and China have successfully soft
landed anywhere on the moon
[Applause]
and for today's story getting a 10 out
of 10 we're hanging 10 with a Sealy
Marine Mammal Making Waves in San Diego
it's become a bit of a celebrity among
local Surfers there who say it brings
them pure joy CNN's Jeannie moose seals
the deal
there's a rookie rookie Surfer off the
coast of
coast of Zago and all of the human
Surfers have given him their seal of
approval a moment of pure happiness for
me Jenny Kim gladly made room for this
harbor seal pup on her surfboard day
after day he showed up at Pacific Beach
and hung out with those who usually Hang
Ten
even Marine experts like Sea World's
Jenny Smith were mystified for some odd
reason was hopping from surfboard to
surfboard to surfboard definitely not
normal harbor seals are usually
standoffish but this one was extra
friendly chill climbing aboard rolling
off
instead of being anti-social he was in
sync riding the waves with abandon
the Surfers named him Sammy after the
children's book Sammy the seal the man
who shot this Drone footage Ed hartel
found the seal inspiring in a time of
Darkness this has been the light Sea
World San Diego's phone rang off the
hook with calls about Sammy the rescue
team
UTC why would he gravitate to surfboards
my first instinct was maybe there's
sharks in the water sharks have killed
seals and sea lions at this beach but
Jenny says Sammy seemed calm and
unafraid his face was really close to
him as if he was going to kiss me like
sealed not with a kiss but a sniff she
posted on Instagram never getting rid of
this board such a magical moment of
connection with the nature when the
Beach Boys said everybody
who knew everybody would include Sammy
the seal serving USA finally my favorite
part of the day special shout out to
Lake County Middle School in Ridgely
Tennessee go Falcons fun fact about
Falcons did you know that some Falcons
can see their prey from more than a mile
away and when they spot that prey look
out they can swoop down with
mind-blowing speed a peregrine falcon
named frightful set the world record in
1999 diving down at 242 miles per hour I
love Falcons rise up seal you tomorrow
everyone I'm koi weyer and we are CNN
10.
