TAPPER: Welcome back. I'm Jake Tapper. In our National Lead, right now Texas is in a state of disaster with historic floods washing out parts of the lone star state. At least five Fort Hood soldiers were killed and four others are missing after strong, fast-moving floodwaters overturned their military vehicle on a remote section of their base. Let's bring in CNN meteorologist, Chad Myers. Chad, the sad thing is, the worse may not even be over yet for Texas especially Richmond where you are.</s>CHAD MYERS, AMS METEOROLOGIST: Absolutely. You know, overnight, it took 24 hours, the water went down three inches. About 20 minutes ago, we had a gully-washing storm that put it back up two inches. So what we got back, what we went down in 24 hours, came right back in 20 minutes. It's been an unrelenting storm after storm, 20 minutes of sunshine and then another storm, Jake. I was above this today because you can't get a feel for on the ground what these pictures look like. I've never been there, but this river looks like the amazon. It's miles wide at times. Now, where we have the levees, those fortunate people, usually more financially fortunate as well, are doing OK. But those that are a little bit less fortunate are the ones that are getting hit the hardest. The water out of its banks, we are over record, you said historic, it certainly is. We're at 53 feet. I know that number doesn't mean anything, but that's 6 feet higher than it's ever been before. People who have never seen this water high are flooded this time and they were prepared, but you can't be prepared for what is a life-changing event today -- Jake.</s>TAPPER: All right, Chad Myers, thank you so much. That's it for THE LEAD. Live from California. I'm Jake Tapper. This Sunday morning on "STATE OF THE UNION," my interviews with Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump plus we will add Bernie Sanders to the mix. That's 9 a.m. and noon Eastern. I turn you over now to Wolf Blitzer in "THE SITUATION ROOM."
