The days of passengers bringing rabbits, turtles and birds on planes as emotional-support animals could be ending. The U.S. Department of Transportation on Wednesday proposed that only specially trained dogs qualify as service animals, which must be allowed in the cabin at no charge.Airlines could let passengers bring other animals on board, but hefty fees would apply. Airlines have complained that some passengers try to get their pets on board for free by claiming they need them for emotional support under the current rules. 543

The massive storm system that killed several people from Texas to Mississippi is now barreling east, threatening to spawn tornadoes and other catastrophic weather from New England to the Gulf Coast.About 90 million people are under the gun for destructive weather Sunday, CNN meteorologist Haley Brink said.While Sunday's storms might not be as severe as the ones that battered the South on Saturday, they will hit far more people in heavily populated cities."New York, Washington DC and Atlanta all within the zone," CNN Meteorologist Derek Van Dam said.At least one tornado was reported Sunday morning in southeast Alabama, near Troy and Goshen, the National Weather Service's Birmingham office said."Heavy rainfall may hide this tornado. Do not wait to see or hear the tornado. Take cover now," the NWS office said."Flying debris will be dangerous to those caught without shelter. Mobile homes will be damaged or destroyed. Damage to roofs, windows, and vehicles will occur. Tree damage is likely."Not just tornadoesBut tornadoes aren't the only possible cause of destruction Sunday."Damaging winds and some hail are also associated with these storms pushing through the Southeast this morning," Brink said.The threat of severe weather will likely increase throughout the day, the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center said."Some storms may also produce large hail or torrential downpours resulting in localized flash flooding," the weather service tweeted.At least 3 children killed in this storm systemThe storm system's first two victims were two children in east Texas.The children, ages 3 and 8, were killed when a tree fell on a car. They were in the back seat with their parents in the front, Angelina County Sheriff's Department Capt. Alton Lenderman said.A preliminary damage survey showed an EF-3 tornado, with winds up to 140 mph, touched down in Robertson County, the 1907

Texans are scrambling for cover Saturday as reports of tornadoes roll in and much of the central US readies for heavy rain, strong winds and large hail.More than 70 million Americans are under the threat of severe weather from Texas to southern Minnesota, CNN meteorologist Haley Brink said. That total on Sunday jumps to 80 million under threat as storms are predicted to move into the Great Lakes area.A tornado destroyed two homes Saturday morning in Comanche County, Oklahoma, southwest of Oklahoma City, said Ashleigh Hensch, an emergency management spokeswoman there.

The House of Representatives will vote Wednesday on significant gun control legislation for the first time in more than two decades, a move that Democrats hope will increase a pressure campaign for a vote in the Senate.The universal background check bill, H.R. 8, will come to the floor for a vote and is expected to pass with the Democratic majority. The legislation would require background checks on all firearm sales in the country. Currently, only licensed gun dealers have to perform background checks for anyone seeking to purchase a firearm. Most unlicensed sellers do not; H.R. 8 would make that illegal. There are exemptions to the law like "gifts to family members and transfers for hunting, target shooting, and self-defense," according to the House Judiciary Committee website.The bill, sponsored by a bipartisan duo of Reps. Mike Thompson, a California Democrat, and Peter King, a New York Republican, remains an outlier right now in the House since it has bipartisan support. Most of the legislation related to gun control has been sponsored by Democrats.Four other Republicans co-sponsored the bill: Brian Mast of Florida, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Chris Smith of New Jersey and Fred Upton of Michigan. King told CNN on Tuesday that he may get a few more Republican colleagues to vote for the measure, but "no more than a handful."At a 25-year anniversary party for the gun control group the Brady Campaign on Tuesday evening, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi expressed confidence that the universal background checks bill would pass the House of Representatives. At the event, Pelosi also recalled her her efforts with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer in the 1990s on gun control as "hard," but a "triumph that saved millions of lives.""Tomorrow we're going to send him the background check legislation," Pelosi said to her Senate colleague with a wide smile.Schumer predicted that the country is on the "precipice of great change" on the issue of gun safety."We have a Democratic House that will not flinch. We have a Senate Democratic minority that will not flinch. Most of all, we have a public who is aroused and strong."Democrats, including Pelosi, have made this a top policy priority in the new Congress, staging public hearings on the topic which had not been held for years in Congress. The legislation also has the backing of a multitude of outside groups, including the former congresswoman and gun control advocate Gabby Giffords, the Brady Campaign, Everytown for Gun Safety and Moms Demand Action.Once it passes the House, the bill will move to the Senate, where it is unlikely to pass in the Republican-majority chamber when legislation often needs 60 or more votes to advance.On Tuesday, King urged his Senate colleagues to consider the bill."I would think that they should let it come to a vote," he said, adding that the average American supports the universal background checks bill."This is not going to affect more than probably less than 1% of the American people and the ones it will affect either suffer from mental illness or are criminals. So to me, it's a phony issue being raised by some of the gun groups," he said.King understands that public opinion is on his side on this issue. 3247
