hello and happy Friday Friday I'm Koy
welcome to CNN 10 many of you closing
out Teacher Appreciation Week showing
love to leaders like Miss Rivera and
Miss McDaniel at mcgoffin in El Paso
Texas lifting up all of your Lobos and
us and Miss Fay and young Mr Vincent at
wjc schools in Virginia big heart hands
for all of our Educators out there keep
showing your teachers love y'all all
right time to get you your news for the
day and we do start with some of the
scary weather happening out there
tornadoes hail flash floods severe
weather is rocking the United States and
there doesn't seem to be an end in sight
in fact there has been at least one
tornado reported in the US every day
since April 25th that's according to the
Storm Prediction Center a US Government
group that tracks and forecast severe
weather on Wednesday in Tennessee at
least four powerful tornadoes tore
through the volunteer state I just heard
it was a
roar that's all it was was a Roar and
it's
gone we have farm animals and we don't
know where nothing's at the severe
weather also brought flash floods which
led to water rescues and blocked roads
north of Nashville so far strong storms
across the central and southern us have
caused at least four deaths this
powerful tornado just pummeled Portage
Michigan earlier this week you can see
one tree toppled after the next luckily
no serious injuries reported in Portage
the Storm Prediction Center says April
to June is the most active time for
tornadoes in the US and may is often the
busiest month in Brazil more rain is
expected today through Sunday torrential
downpours have already caused
catastrophic flooding in the southern
part of the country affecting more than
1 million people
tens of thousands of people have been
rescued more than 100 have been killed
McKenna Yuan has more on the difficult
times in Brazil video shows an airport
tarmac in Rio Grande du's Capital
heavily
flooded this comes after heavy rains hit
the southern Brazilian State during the
past week
the rains and consequent flooding in the
region have caused a growing number of
deaths and resulted in many missing the
region has been increasingly hit by
extreme weather events in the past few
years the climate crisis caused by the
burning of fossil fuels is making
extreme weather events more intense and
more frequent around the
world next we head to Iceland a country
of fewer than 400,000 people it's home
to 32 active volcanoes now living near a
volcano Volo may sound scary but for the
folks in the small town of grindvik
there hadn't been an eruption for
literally hundreds of years but as you
will see in this report from CNN's Laura
Patterson that is no longer the case
it's incredibly deep it is incredibly
deep and there were huge cracks in that
area which they've filled up already and
this is actually the same crack that
goes through town as well all the way to
the crater area basically and it's
actually perilously close to your house
just there it is
yeah this volcanic eruption just a few
miles from the small town of grindvik is
a latest in a series of volcanic events
to rock the raikin peninsula in
Southwest
Iceland having laid dormant for eight
centuries the volcanic system here is
Reawakening marking a new period of
activity that could last tens or even
hundreds of
years for grindvik 3,600 residents that
means dealing with lava blows powerful
earthquakes destructive fishes and
evacuations Clara H do daa and her
family evacuated in November last year
and like many she doesn't plan to
[Music]
return
the yeah
show I was asking if he moved back but
he said no no no I'm not going to risk
it is he just visiting then yeah picking
up some stuff and so no one is really
living in this part no maybe there are
about 30 people already living in gind
yeah but um yeah the rest of us aren't
that Keen on that and you know nobody
knows what modern nature is going to do
next so did lots of houses around here
get damaged when this happened I guess
the ground must have moved quite a lot
it did actually the brown housee it
completely ruined and the black house
here is sinking more and more and the
gry house is my horse stable and we used
to keep our horses on this
pasture there are no pictures on the
walls now so it feels kind of like a
house with no
soul for me and most of the people in
GIC having the eruptions in 20121 and
the following years so close by it was
fascinating the earthquakes of course
were
the downside of it but then it happened
so close to town and that's a totally
different story and can you tell me a
bit about what the community was like
here it's a community of people who more
or less know each other and you would go
to the grocery store and have a talk and
it was like a closed community now we're
spread it through various towns and this
the feeling that we missed the most I
think your kids did they want to stay
here or they kind of still want to stay
here yeah it's it's harder for them
definitely this is where they grew up in
and they don't know anything else and
now we're cooped up in a small
apartment I think icelanders are quite
tough I mean we live in a harsh nature
and we've always known that this was an
active area but nothing has happened for
800 years and the last time that there
was an eruption so close to towns was in
the Westman Islands 51 years ago lasted
for a few months but then it was over
and then you could start rebuilding the
community but here we don't know when
it's going to
end 10c trivia which events motto
translates to faster higher stronger
together Super Bowl World Cup Olympics
or Nobel
Prize if you said Olympics you get a
gold medal the original olymp Olympic

OA La we wee the Olympic torch has
finally arrived in France ahead of the
Paris Summer Games an estimated
150,000 people came to see it arrive at
the Port City of Marseilles the torch
was lit a month ago at at the ancient
Olympia site in Greece then it set sail
for France on a 128y old boat the French
Air Force did a fly over and streak the
colors blue white and red across the sky
to mirror the nation's flag then the
rapper juwel a native of Marseilles took
that torch and lit The Cauldron for the
next few months the torch is going to
crisscross France ending up in Paris
