WE BEGIN TONIGHT WITH A DANGEROUS FLASH FLOOD THREAT STRETCHING ACROSS SEVERAL STATES IN THE SOUTH, AS MILLIONS OF AMERICANS MAKE THEIR WAY HOME FROM A RECORD SETTING HOLIDAY TRAVEL WEEKEND. THIS DRAMATIC VIDEO CAPTURES THE HEART STOPPING MOMENT WHEN FIRST RESPONDERS PULLED A BABY FROM A CAR SWALLOWED BY FLOODWATERS IN BEEVILLE, TEXAS, JUST NORTH OF CORPUS CHRISTI IN FORT WORTH, TEXAS. STORMS SWEPT ACROSS THE SKY WITH UNRELENTING FORCE. A STORM CHASER CAPTURED THIS TIME LAPSE OF DARK CLOUDS RACING OVER THE AREA. THUNDERSTORMS AND HEAVY RAIN CREATED SCENES LIKE THIS ON AN INTERSTATE SOUTH OF BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA, AND A GROUP OF BOY SCOUTS WERE RESCUED FROM FAST MOVING FLOODWATERS DURING A RIVER TRIP IN WEST VIRGINIA, LEAVING THEM TRAPPED FOR NEARLY AN HOUR, AND A BODY WAS DISCOVERED IN AN SUV SUBMERGED IN FLOODWATERS IN MISSISSIPPI. OUR WEATHER TEAM IS TIMING IT ALL OUT. STANDING BY WITH THE FORECAST.

IN TENNESSEE, SCHOOL OFFICIALS IN WILLIAMSON COUNTY ARE DEFENDING THEIR DECISION TO CONTINUE GRADUATION CEREMONIES THURSDAY. DESPITE THIS DELUGE, TODAY WAS THE BUSIEST DAY TO DRIVE SOME 39 MILLION HITTING THE ROADS FOR THE HOLIDAY, DESPITE GAS PRICES HITTING A FOUR YEAR HIGH. THE NATIONAL AVERAGE $4.50, ACCORDING TO TRIPLE A. ALL TOLD, EXPERTS SAY AMERICANS PAID $2 BILLION MORE FOR GAS THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND THAN LAST YEAR. AND WHILE THERE WERE SOME ISSUES IN CANCELLATIONS OVER IN DALLAS TODAY, IT ACTUALLY WAS A PRETTY SMOOTH MEMORIAL DAY AT AIRPORTS. AND ALL OF THESE TRAVELERS REALLY PROVED THAT IT'S GOING TO BE A VERY BUSY SUMMER OF TRAVEL. LINDSEY. >> SMOOTH SAILING, AT LEAST FOR THE UNOFFICIAL START OF SUMMER. GIO. THANK YOU. AND LET'S BRING IN METEOROLOGIST JEFF SMITH FROM OUR NEW YORK STATION WABC. HI, JEFF. WHERE IS THE GREATEST FLASH FLOOD RISK TONIGHT? >> LINDSEY. RIGHT NOW WE'RE. >> TARGETING AREAS FROM SOUTHERN LOUISIANA ALL THE WAY UP TO EASTERN PARTS OF TENNESSEE WITH A FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT. THIS INCLUDES HATTIESBURG, MISSISSIPPI, WHICH AT THIS HOUR IS UNDER A FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY, A PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION THERE WITH MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS KIND OF MOVING OVER THE SAME LOCATIONS. THESE WILL CONTINUE INTO THE DAY TOMORROW ACROSS MUCH OF THE SOUTH AS WELL. ELEVATED LEVEL TWO OUT OF FOUR FLASH FLOOD RISK. SOUTHEASTERN LOUISIANA, INCLUDING NEW ORLEANS ALL THE WAY UP TO PARTS OF ALABAMA AND A GOOD CHUNK OF TEXAS, SAN ANTONIO, AUSTIN ALL THE WAY UP TO LUBBOCK. OF COURSE, MUCH OF THE SOUTH HAS BEEN SUFFERING FROM A DROUGHT, BUT THIS IS TOO MUCH RAIN, TOO QUICKLY IN A LOT OF THESE AREAS ACROSS MUCH OF THE REST OF THE COUNTRY. NEXT 24 HOURS FOR POST HOLIDAY TRAVEL. FAIRLY QUIET, INCLUDING A BIG WARM UP ALONG THE EAST COAST, I-95 CITIES, PHILLY, NEW YORK, ALL THE WAY UP TO BOSTON INTO THE 80S TOMORROW AND ESPECIALLY INTO WEDNESDAY. LINDSEY. >> WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT. ALL RIGHT, JEFF, THANK YOU. NOW TO A DEATH DEFYING CLOSE CALL. A WOMAN WAS PARAGLIDING OVER THE AUSTRIAN ALPS WHEN A SMALL PLANE FLEW RIGHT THROUGH HER GLIDER THAT SENT HER HURLING TO THE GROUND. TONIGHT, THE EXTRAORDINARY IMAGES AND THE SPLIT SECOND SURVIVAL. ABC'S WILL REEVE HAS HER STORY. >> THIS IS THE MOMENT A PLANE SLAMS INTO THE CANOPY OF A PARAGLIDER, SENDING HER PLUMMETING TOWARD THE GROUND. THE WOMAN NAMED SABRINA FRANTICALLY REACHES FOR HER EMERGENCY PARACHUTE. IT OPENS, BUT IT'S BADLY TWISTED, SENDING HER SPIRALING WILDLY THROUGH THE AIR. THEN HER BACKUP CHUTE FINALLY CATCHES AIR. SABRINA REGAINING CONTROL, HER SHREDDED PRIMARY CANOPY SEEN DANGLING BEHIND HER THOUSANDS OF FEET ABOVE THE AUSTRIAN ALPS. TRACKING DATA SHOWS SABRINA'S PATH OVER THE MOUNTAINS, INCLUDING THE TERRIFYING MOMENT SHE DROPPED OUT OF THE SKY, FALLING 2000FT IN JUST TWO MINUTES, SABRINA LATER WRITING I ACTUALLY STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I'M SITTING HERE TYPING THIS AND THAT. ASIDE FROM A FEW NASTY BRUISES AND SOME CONTUSIONS. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAPPENED. POLICE SAY THE PILOT OF THE PLANE NEVER SAW HER UNTIL THERE WAS NO TIME LEFT TO AVOID IMPACT. SOMEHOW SHE MANAGED TO LAND SAFELY. >> AND AFTER ESCAPING WITH ONLY MINOR INJURIES, SABRINA WAS RESCUED FROM THE SIDE OF A MOUNTAIN IN A POLICE HELICOPTER AND TAKEN TO A NEARBY HOSPITAL FOR A PRECAUTIONARY CHECK.

BACK TO THE BATTLEFRONT AND SHOOTING, BUT BIGGER AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE. A SENIOR U.S. OFFICIAL TELLING ABC NEWS A POTENTIAL INTERIM AGREEMENT WOULD SEE THE REOPENING OF THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ, A LIFTING OF THE U.S. BLOCKADE AND A COMMITMENT FROM THE IRANIANS TO NEGOTIATE THE REMOVAL OF THEIR STOCKPILE OF HIGHLY ENRICHED URANIUM. >> THEY'RE NEVER GOING TO HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON, AND THEY KNOW THAT. THEY KNOW THAT. >> BUT IRAN, AGAIN, CONTRADICTING U.S. CLAIMS, SAYING MANY OF THE ISSUES HAVE BEEN DEALT WITH. BUT A SIGNED AGREEMENT ISN'T IMMINENT.

THOSE SCREENINGS WILL BE EXPANDED TO BUSH AIRPORT STARTING TOMORROW. LINDSEY. >> FAITH, THANK YOU. WHEN WE COME BACK, THE DANGER OF LITHIUM ION BATTERIES. FLAMES ENGULFED THE BACK OF A GARBAGE TRUCK. ONE COMMUNITY IS TELLING RESIDENTS NOT TO THROW THEM IN THE TRASH. FIREFIGHTERS TO THE RESCUE TO SAVE A BABY RED TAILED HAWK. AND FROM MONTEREY ALL THE WAY TO HONOLULU, AN AMERICAN WOMAN TRIES TO BECOME THE FIRST TO ROW IT ALONE.

TODDLERS AGES 22 MONTHS AND TEN MONTHS, THE BOYS ARE BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN ABDUCTED BY THEIR FATHER, WHO'S LOCKED IN A CUSTODY DISPUTE WITH THEIR MOTHER. AUTHORITIES HAVE ISSUED AN AMBER ALERT SAYING THAT THE CHILDREN ARE FACING IMMINENT DANGER, AND AUTHORITIES IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA ARE URGING RESIDENTS NOT TO THROW LITHIUM ION BATTERIES INTO THE TRASH. THE CITY OF ROSEVILLE, NEAR SACRAMENTO, RELEASED THIS VIDEO SHOWING THE MOMENT OF FIRE CAUSED BY ONE OF THOSE BATTERIES IGNITED IN A GARBAGE TRUCK. WHEN WE COME BACK, AN AMERICAN WOMAN SETS OFF FROM CALIFORNIA HOPING TO MAKE A HISTORIC JOURNEY TO HAWAII AND FIREFIGHTERS WITH AN UNUSUAL CALL WITH A BABY HAWK. >> TO THE INDEX. NOW A BABY RED TAILED HAWK WAS RETURNED TO ITS NEST IN COLORADO SPRINGS AFTER FALLING FOR STORIES. FIREFIGHTERS USED A LADDER TRUCK TO CAREFULLY CARRY THE BIRD. WILDLIFE OFFICIALS SAID THAT THE CHICK WAS UNHURT. IN THE FALL, AN ADULT HAWK WATCHED OVER THE ENTIRE OPERATION. AN AMERICAN WOMAN IS HOPING TO ROW HER WAY INTO HISTORY. KELSEY FIEDLER SET OFF FROM MONTEREY ON THURSDAY, HOPING TO ROW ALL THE WAY TO HONOLULU. SHE'S MADE THE JOURNEY BEFORE, BUT NEVER ON HER OWN. IF ALL GOES AS PLANNED, SHE WOULD REACH HAWAII IN AUGUST, AT LEAST 80 DAYS FROM NOW, BECOMING THE FIRST AMERICAN WOMAN TO MAKE THE JOURNEY SOLO.
