WHAT HAPPENED IS THIS STORE CONTINUE TO GAIN IN STRENGTH AND ALSO SHOWED A FEW VELOCITY SIGNATURES THAT CAUSE CONCERN.

>> ADAM SAYS HAVING MULTIPLE WAYS TO ACCESS WEATHER INFORMATION IS THE FIRST STEP TO BEING PREPARED FOR POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS WEATHER.

>> IMPORTANT TO STAY HYPER WEATHER AWARE DURING THIS TIME WHICH IS OUR MOST ACTIVE WEATHER SEASON FROM DECEMBER TO MARCH.

>> THE NEXT TIME A TORNADO WARNING IS ISSUED THAT'S WHEN IT'S TIME TO TAKE ACTION IF YOU'RE INDOORS, PUT AS MANY WALLS BETWEEN YOU AND THE THUNDERSTORM PRODUCING A TORNADO.

OR IN YOUR CAR THE BEST THING TO DO IS TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WE OUT THE CONDITIONS.

THAT WILL SHELTER YOU FROM THE FLYING DEBRIS AS IT SOARS OVERHEAD.

>>> CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY IS EXTENDING THE INTENT TO REGISTER DEADLINE FOR FALL 2024.

IT COMES AFTER THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION MADE CHANGES TO THE FREE APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL STUDENT AID, OR FAFSA AND NOW THE DEADLINE FOR FIRST-YEAR ADMITTED STUDENTS IS MAY 15th.

THE EXTENSION APPLIES TO EACH OF THE 23 UNIVERSITIES IN THE CSU SYSTEM INCLUDING SAN DIEGO STATE AND CSU SAN MARCOS.

AFTER MONTHS OF NEGOTIATIONS THE BIPARTISAN BORDER DEAL AND FOREIGN AID PACKAGE FAILED TO PASS IN THE SENATE TODAY.

DEMOCRATS SAY IT'S BECAUSE REPUBLICANS ARE GETTING THEIR MARCHING ORDERS FROM FORMER FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AS HE MAKES THE BORDER A CENTRAL CAMPAIGN ISSUE IN HIS RACE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE.

JULIA BENBROOK HAS THE LATEST FROM THE CAPITAL.

>> THE MOTION IS NOT AGREED TO.

A VOTE ON A BIPARTISAN DEAL AND AN AID PACKAGE FAILED WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

REPUBLICANS DEMANDED THAT BORDER SECURITY BE A PART OF THE BILL BUT TURNED AGAINST IT AFTER FACING PRESSURE FROM FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP.

>> MY COLLEAGUES HAVE DECIDED THEY DON'T WANT THE SOLUTION AND DON'T WANT TO SECURE THE BORDER.

>> SEVERAL GOP SENATORS INSIST THEIR OPPOSITION TO THE BILL HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH TRUMPS PUBLIC COMMENTS BASHING IT.

>> THIS JUST BLEW UP TO McCONNELL'S FACE AND NOW HE'S TRYING TO BLAME PRESIDENT TRUMP, I'M NOT SURE ANYBODY HAS TALKED TO HIM.

WE WANTED TO SECURE THE BORDER.

TWO U.S.

ALLIES HAVE MADE HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE FOR CIVILIANS IN GAZA.

ON TUESDAY JOE BIDEN WEIGHED IN ON THE DEAL DEBACLE.

>> BY POSING THIS BILL AND DENYING AID TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE REALLY SUFFERING AND DESPERATELY NEED HELP, REPUBLICANS HAVE TO DECIDE, WHO DO THEY SERVE?

DONALD TRUMP OR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE?

>> REPORTING IN WASHINGTON I AM JULIA BENBROOK.

>> IN MARCH, SAN DIEGO WILL VOTE ON WHO WILL REPLACE MONICA MONTGOMERY'S DEBT AS THE DISTRICT FOR CITY COUNCIL MEMBER.

KPBS REPORTER KATIE-SPOKE WITH THE CANDIDATES.

THE MOST PRESSING ISSUE IS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

THEY ADVOCATE FOR DIFFERENT APPROACHES, WARREN DARBY STRESSES EMPOWERING RESIDENTS TO DISSIPATE IN CITY COUNCIL.

BUT THEY WOULD BE BETTER INFORMED ABOUT WHAT THEY NEED.

>> FOSTER SAYS THE CITY HAS A ROLE AS AN EMPLOYER.

>> THE CITY IS EMPLOYER OF CHOICE FOR OUR REGION.

EMPHASIZES SUPPORTING SMALL BUSINESSES.

>> SMALL BUSINESSES WERE DRIVING ALONG THIS CORRIDOR AND NOW THEY ARE VACANT.

>> THE WINNER WOULD LIKELY BE THE DECIDING VOTE IN A COUNCIL PRESIDENT THE REELECTION OF SEAN RIVERA.

FOSTER VOICES SUPPORT FOR RIVERA.

DARBY SAYS SHE NEEDS TO CEASE CHANGE.

UNDECIDED.

CANDIDATES NEED MORE THAN HALF THE BOARDS TO AVOID A RUNOFF.

A RUNOFF WOULD COST THE CITY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN THE DISTRICT FOR MORE THAN HALF A YEAR WITHOUT REPRESENTATION.

HEIDI IS THE COFOUNDER OF THE GLOBAL PROJECT AGAINST HATE AND EXTREMISM.

SHE IS HORRIFIED TO HEAR AN ACTIVE-DUTY NATIVE STEEL USING THE SLOGAN.

>> I HAVE NEVER HEARD ANYONE USE THAT OTHER THAN PROUD BOYS AND PROBABLY ACOLYTES.

THIS SHOULD SEND UP THE CHAIN OF COMMAND.

IT'S DANGEROUS TO HAVE SOMEONE WITH THE KINDS OF SKILLS HE HAS WORKING WITH AN ORGANIZATION THAT IS KNOWN FOR STREET FIGHTING AND VIOLENCE AND INSURRECTION.

I FIND THIS QUITE HORRIFYING.

>> HE HAS LEVERAGED HIS LARGE SOCIAL MEDIA VIBRATE FOLLOWING TO AVOID PUNISHMENT.

WE REACHED CHIEF HANSEN BY EMAIL ABOUT WHAT HIS RELATIONSHIP IS TO THE PROUD BOYS AND HE SAYS ONLY THAT HE IS A PARENT'S RIGHTS ACTIVIST AND HE IS BEING DEFAMED.

THE NTSB SAID IN THEIR PRELIMINARY REPORT TUESDAY THAT FOUR KEYBOARDS WERE MISSING.

>> BY DESIGN IF THE BOLTS WERE THERE IT PREVENTS THE DOOR FROM GOING UPWARDS AND DISENGAGING FROM THE STOP FITTINGS AND FLYING OFF THE PLANE.

>> THEY TRACED THE BOLTS TO BOEING'S WASHINGTON STATE PLANT WHERE THE PLUG WAS REMOVED TO MAKE REPAIRS BEFORE THE JET WAS DELIVERED TO ALASKA AIRLINES.

>> IN ORDER TO REMOVE THE DOOR PLUG THEY HAD TO REMOVE THE BOLTS AND THEY WEREN'T PUT BACK IN.

>> TO FIND OUT WHY THEY REQUESTED PROCESS.IMITATION FROM BOEING.

>> WE ARE WAITING ON THE DOCUMENTATION IF IT EXISTS.

THE SEARCH FOR ANSWERS IS ALSO REACHING BEYOND BOEING.

WE ARE ALSO TAKING INTO FAA'S BEYOND BOEING.

WHATEVER THE RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION BOEING ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT HAPPENED.

AS FOR SAFETY, JENNIFER SAYS PASSENGERS CAN BUY WITH CONFIDENCE.

>> I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM TOMORROW TAKING A FLIGHT ON THE MAX NINE.

>> I AM LAURA FOR KPBS NEWS.

>> A FLOOD WARNING EXPIRED JUST MOMENTS AGO, THESE ARE WITH THE FLOODWATERS LOOKS LIKE AROUND FASHION VALLEY MALL EARLIER, IT WAS EXTENDED FROM 2 TO 5 THIS AFTERNOON.

THE RAIN CAUSED THE SAN DIEGO RIVER TO SPILL OVER ITS BANKS, PROMPTING ROAD CLOSURES.

IT'S SIGNIFICANT, TAKING OFF IN THE ROOTS, IT JUST MAKES IT HARDER FOR US.
