JAKE TAPPER, CNN HOST: Welcome back to THE LEAD. The National Lead, 30 million people up and down the I-95 Corridor on the east coast are in for a rough drive home today. Severe thunderstorms and some serious flooding are pushing up the east coast. Let's bring in Chad Myers live in the CNN Weather Center. Chad, there could also be isolated tornadoes you tell me?</s>CHAD MYERS, AMS METEOROLOGIST: Sure. Actually just had a tornado warning not that the far from Nashua, New Hampshire moving up to the north, not toward Boston at all. Yes, any one of these storms at least briefly could spin up a brief tornado. That's always the possibility when you have a severe thunderstorm warning or watch in effect. Some of these storms all by themselves, one storm at a time, we call them a supercell. That storm can rotate. You can certainly get a brief tornado. Actually had some damage. You don't need a tornado to get damage today. Winds are gusting 60, 70 miles an hour. Nassau County in New York right along the ocean, had a couple trees down. The storm did moved through New York about two hours ago. It was so heavy. Rain was everywhere across the city, flooding, even had the cross Bronx expressway closed. Think what that would do to the night time travel. Airports are a mess. One to three in some places four hours of a delay. If your plane is even still flying because a lot of the planes have been canceled. There's your flash flood watches from Maine even to the nation's capital. It's all part of this polar air coming down from the north. Bigelow pressure center there crashing through the northeast. Making what you would want to go out and look at the fall colors tomorrow. But there won't be any fall colors. Everything will just be green -- Jake.</s>TAPPER: Chad Myers, thank you so much. Coming up on THE LEAD, Israelis are now dealing with what Palestinians have faced for over a week. One of their own killed in shelling. Does that end any chance for a ceasefire? We'll get a live update on the ground coming up next.
