  • a new week of CNN 10 starts.

  • Right now I'm Carla Zeus explaining events from around the world.

  • Thank you for taking 10 minutes to watch A massive storm system welled up last week in the United States consistently has the most violent weather in the world.

  • When we put this show together, there were 90 million people more than 1/4 of the entire U.

  • S.

  • Population who were under the threat of destructive weather in Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi.

  • At least five people were killed as the system swept across the South on Saturday and Sunday.

  • A tornado was spotted in southeast Alabama Sunday morning.

  • That wasn't the only threat, a CNN meteorologist said.

  • The storm's also carried damaging winds and hail.

  • The National Weather Service warned people in the path that torrential rains could cause flash flooding in some areas.

  • Monroe County and northeast Mississippi was hit particularly hard, according to its sheriff.

  • He said the area was a mess after homes, businesses and a fire station were destroyed.

  • There was also a lot of flooding there and two states east in Georgia.

  • Tee times were scheduled earlier for the Masters golf tournament on Sunday because heavy storms were expected to pass through later that night.

  • In fact, a tornado watch was issued for the city of Augusta as well as parts of South Carolina Sunday night.

  • Knowing the difference between a watch and a warning can help you know what action you should take when severe weather strikes.

  • One of the most common questions we get.

  • What's the difference between a watch and a warning?

  • Well, just for comparison sake, let's take this stop like green light yellow light red light.

  • Sometimes the National Weather Service will issue a hazardous weather outlook and advisory treat.

  • This is a green light.

  • Know that the possibility of rough weather is there, but go about your day as you would just stay alert.

  • But as conditions tend to ripen, we may see a tornado watch issued by the National Weather Service.

  • Use this with more caution.

  • This means conditions are favorable for tornado development, and so you need to know what you should d'oh!

  • In case a tornado strikes.

  • That's where the warning comes in.

  • If the radar has indicated a tornado or someone has spotted a tornado in progress, that's when the tornado warning is issued and you should get to your safe place immediately.

  • Stop what you're doing and seek shelter.

  • 10 seconds.

  • Where would you most likely find regular off Iceland's coast, in Earth's core, on the moon or on Jupiter's surface?

  • Regular, there's a loose, rocky covering of a planet surface.

  • Scientists say Jupiter has no firm surface, so the answer here is the mood.

  • It launched into space in February and circled the Earth several times before being sling shot.

  • In a way, it traveled a total of four million miles and finally reached the moon, but not in the way Israeli scientists hoped it would.

  • Their unmanned, privately funded spacecraft was supposed to make a soft controlled landing there, but communication was lost when it was about 500 feet away from the moon's surface, and it was traveling toward it 310 miles per hour.

  • So, well, boom.

  • If it had been successful, this would have been the first time a private organization made a controlled landing with the smallest budget.

  • Still, the team in their nation's leader have suggested this isn't the end.

  • There were high hopes and high drama, and in the end, hi disappointment for the people behind this ambitious, privately funded $100 million project.

  • From the beginning, it was a case of the little guy shooting precisely a soft landing on the moon, and they nearly made it with their spacecraft Barry Sheet, which means Genesis.

  • There was a crowd that included the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, watching on that the team lost contact with the spacecraft in the last moments before the plan.

  • Touchdown, apparently engine problems.

  • And then the descent became uncontrollable, and it crashed in a moment of classic understatement, one of the project managers saying, I'm sorry to say that our spacecraft did not make it in one piece to the moon.

  • If they had, Israel would have been just the fourth country to soft land on the moon after the old Soviet Union, the U.

  • S.

  • And China.

  • Still, though a major achievement for an upstart group that began eight years ago as part of a Google competition, they didn't make the deadline for that competition but decided to keep going with private funding and a lot of good old coots far.

  • And they came, oh so close to success still became only the seventh country to get to the moon if not successfully land on it.

  • A lot of pride in Israel in this project.

  • Plenty of people watching live, including school kids at the president's home and those behind the project, not letting the less than soft landing put them off for its part space.

  • I'll says quote, don't stop believing we will continue to work hard.

  • And then the prime minister, Netanyahu is saying, Quote.

  • We will try again next time.

  • It will be better A sign, perhaps, of government involvement going forward.

  • Hercules, also known as the Spruce Goose and the Strata Launch made history Saturday morning when it lifted off the ground, got up to speeds of 173 miles per hour and climbed 15,000 feet into the sky.

  • But you and I aren't gonna fly it as passengers.

  • This thing's designed to carry rockets loaded with satellites so they can be launched from an altitude of 35,000 feet into orbit that can save money over ground based launches.

  • Strider Launch was funded by Microsoft co founder Paul Allen, who died last October.

  • It does have competitions from other companies, and it has a series of test flights and certifications to go through before it can actually start working.

  • There are an estimated 1.3 million people in America who are classified as unaccompanied youths.
