one, you know? >> do you know her name? >> i couldn't name the last 50 miss america's. >> i couldn't either. >> welcome to "early start." i'm john berman. >> i'm zoraida sambolin. it is 5:00 a.m. in the east so we begin in colorado. new warnings this morning that severe flooding promises to only get worse before hopefully it gets better. days of intense pounding rain have left 15 counties drenched and led to images like this from westminster about 20 miles northwest of denver. 11,000 people are out of their homes and the floodwaters have washed away so many roads and bridges, many communities are simply cut off. officials are learning those who don't leave when they can should be prepare to be stuck in their homes for weeks. right now, authorities fear as many as six people may be dead. more than 1,200 people are still unaccounted for. upwards of 19,000 homes have been damaged or destroyed by all

of the flooding. >> this is what it looks like in boulder. that's a street or what used to be a street. look at the water there. it's torn out in estes park, there was a bridge somewhere in that. the water ripping that structure down. 50 bridges are said to be damaged or destroyed so far. that means the only way in or out in many areas is by helicopter but that requires good weather. they have not had that. they did not have it on sunday. officials hoping the choppers back in the air today, but despite all this, there is the hope and the determination that the state will bounce back. >> the question i had is how can we ever recover from this? and i know exactly inch-by-inch, mile-by-mile, community-by-community, they are taking this stuff back, they are doing it. people are getting those things done out there.

>> wow. >> indra peterss ons is trackin the weather for us. they lost over 140 people years ago and a lot of folks are missing here and hoping they will get to them. will they get break? >> one the biggest concern is the location. once you get the winds out of the east and the moisture, it's the mountains. the key. you get this enhanced amount of rainfall and what we saw last week. keep in mind saw 15 to 20 inches of rain last week. yesterday saw each more rain in addition to what they couldn't handle so colorado springs area about 3 inches of rain in the region. let's remind you what we saw last week was all of the southerly moisture that went into the area. i was talking about those easterly winds. once you have that eye east of the area you xin it up against the mountains and never ending amount of rain that never seems to leave the region. that's what we saw last week. a chance for thunderstorms in the area today. nothing major but, again, more rain where they do not need any

more rain but here is the good news. finally they are getting the relief they are expecting. throughout the week, the water vapor satellite, where you see the brown is dry air and that is pushing into the region so things will slowly start to improve and take until mid week or so when we finally see the better conditions. the seven-day, temperatures are warming up and, most important, drying out. >> tuesday or wednesday? >> yes. >> it's heavy or rain? >> it's scattered showers. it depends which tropical storm is right above you. >> thank you, indra. 4 minutes past the hour. to syria now. a new report that could change what the world thinks about a deadly chemical attack near damascus. the u.n. security council is expected today to get its first at what weapons inspectors found when they visited the site where more 1,400 people died and days after the u.s. and russia reached a deal to take chemical

weapons away from the assad regime. talks under way this morning to push that resolution. chief national security correspondent john sciutto is in paris. what is the very latest? >> secretary kerry is meeting this morning with the french president and now the french foreign ministers behind me and later today meet with the turkey and saudi foreign ministers. secretary kerry is building confidence in this deal with u.s. allies favor a more aggressive stance regarding syria. these are the allies that are arming the rebels. in effect, he has his work cut out for him to convince them that this deal was thhas teeth verifiable and syrians won't string this out and why he was here and similar what he was doing in israel yesterday with the israeli prime minister. >> what are u.s. officials saying about this deal?

>> reporter: they are saying the same thing now that they have been saying to me all week, as i've been traveling with sect secretary kerry. they believe they left geneva with a good deal and have the russians on board and verify is plan and do the russians deliver the syrians to the table to meet these commitments. we have the very first test later this week. in five days, syria has to turn over a full accounting of its entire chemical weapons stockpile. early on, you'll get a sense of how quickly and how faithfully the syrians are going to abide by this plan. >> jim, as we expect this u.n. report, how will it affect the administration's case? >> the administration thinks this report will give them nor ammunition for this deal but in some way the ship has already sailed. the ally's position is the syrian government is behind this

attack and even though you have the russians still saying, well, the syrian rebels might have done this, as far as the u.s. is concerned and they believe the international community, assad was behind this attack. if there are people to convince, it would be the russians. if there is evidence in this plan that further removed any doubt that assad ordered this attack, that will help the u.s. case with partners like the russians but as far as its allies are concerned, they have all the proof they need. >> john sciutto live in paris, thank you very much. 7 minutes after the hour. japan is a nation without nuclear power this morning. the japanese government shutting down radioactive reactor with no timetable for a restart. ever since the melt down of the fukushima plant. before that accident, 30% of the country's power was supplied by nuclear facilities. taliban is claiming responsibility for a roadside

now, summers was reportedly president obama's number one choice to fill ben bernanke's seat when he leaves in january. 40 were expected to vote against his nomination and summers was a lightning rod with his close association with deregulation. why are stocks rattling? the move brings this woman as a strong contender to run the fed and she would be the first woman to hold that job in the fed's history. it's not certain at all and some tongues are going in washington. it pushes against the president's top choice which was summers. maybe other people he is looking at like like donald cone. the president has mentioned him and time geithner but sources say close to him says he doesn't want that job. the latest name whispered to me, stanley fisher, someone who knows all of the players.

officials haven't begun to estimate the full extent of the damage. over the week, president obama declaring a major disaster in the state, while the state's governor touring the devastation, is helicopter rescuing seven people along the way. >> we are going rebuild better than it was before. >> reporter: but mother nature isn't helping rescue efforts. clouds and heavy rain grounded air rescue missions sunday. more than a thousand people have yet to be evacuated. and with roads and bridges crumbling under the deluge for some ressing others is the only way out. >> i think what we have going on the last 24 thundershowers is the greatest number of americans rescued by helicopters since hurricane katrina. >> reporter: jamestown, this town is isolated. cities like aurora already plagued by flooding contending with hail that pummeled the area over the weekend. officials in boulder county

unfortunately, in between the two, we will still get the thunderstorms today and then start to back off. the reason we will see them back off is dry air is moving and exactly what they need. you can see in the water vapor satellite we are seeing a little bit of that action and continue to see that dry air as we move through the rest of the week. looks like a dry forecast from pretty much wednesday on and the great news. we have a lot of tropical moisture to be talking about in mexico. heavy potential for flooding here. remnants of emmanuel is there from the pacific and combine it with ingrid that is making its way into the atlantic. unfortunately when you combine the two of these, we are talking about 10 to 15 inches of rain, possibly 25 inches of rain into the mountains any time see something like that. you talk about devastating flooding concerns and brownsville and corpus christi rain in that region. devastating for that area today. now to syria. a major development just a few hours from now.

eventually, quote, a process of accountability. as possible, ban ki-moon had seen the possible report before he spoke and one official telling me it was likely complete by then. the u.n. inspector's report on august 24th attacks will be presented to the u.n. security council at 11:00 a.m. on monday in enough detail for other to perhaps work out who was behind the attacks, though it's not the inspectors' job to do so. syria has officially now beyond the chemical weapons convention the u.n. declared saturday, whose rules mean it must declare all of those weapons by mid november. that is that's not fast enough for the united states or rush sho what agreed in geneva that syria must tell all in a week. in syria's first major comments on the dial its information minister talking to the news saying it wants to wait for a u.n. resolution to set the timing of its disarmament. another round of negotiations begins, past fast, past tortuous

what rescuers are dealing with and we are going to get reports on the ground and experts weighing in to see which way the situation could go. the next couple of days is incredible. we have awe exclusive. a former college football player from florida shot and killed by police in north carolina. he was not armed and he was apparently just looking for help after a car accident. so why did police then open fire? his family clearly searching for answers this morning and they are going to join us live to discuss. >> a tragic story. >> yes. >> thank you. see you here shortly. coming up, brother versus brother and manning versus manning for the third time. the ultimate grudge match. who came out on top? tell tell you in the bleacher report coming up next. thank you orville and wilbur... ...amelia... neil and buzz: for teaching us that you can't create the future... by clinging to the past. and with that: you're history.

it is, in fact, official. seattle seahawks are really, really good. >> seattle made a statement to the relative of the nfl with a dominating win over the san francisco 49ers. boo hoo. joe carter has more in the bleacher report. >> i was surprised by the outcome. i thought it would be much closer game but it was unusual night. a one hour lightning delay and 5-0 halftime score. it was football. not baseball. it was really seattle's defense that looked elite. a lot of has been said about their quarterback and running back and seattle offense but the defense that dominated what many believe is the best offense in the nfc. 49ers quarterback colin kaepernick threw three interceptions as many as he threw all of last season. the offense finished with five turnovers in all and no touchdowns. appropriately, seattle's richard sherman celebrates a big win by dancing with the cheerleaders.

peyton manning is 3-0 against his younger brother. yesterday's game was not even close. eli threw three interceptions and he leads the league with seven total. as for peyton and the broncos, just another 40-point win. you know unless these two teams meet in the super bowl, this is the last time we will see the manning brothers play each other. >> strange feeling. it's not like beating another team. it's probably not quite as enjoyable as it would be if you were, you know, beating somebody else. >> get this. ravens quarterback joe flacco skipped the birth of his second child to play the cleveland browns? that's right. wife dana gave birth an hour before kickoff. he got the news during pregame warm-ups when he was pulled off the field and handed a cell phone. bad husband? good teammate? any way flacco delivered in otherwise own way by scoring this touchdown and pulling off a 14-6 win over the browns. trending this morning on bleacherreport.com, here is

something you won't see again any time soon. the boston red sox honoring a new york yankee, mariano riviera in his final game at fenway park was given all kinds of goodies. several months tribute by the players but perhaps the most surprising moment, in my opinion, was how well the boston crowd showered rivera with love. a standing ovation and respectful during the whole tribute. he didn't get into game last night, but the red sox did end up winning 9-2 sweep. berman, way to go. way to go. your boston fans have a lot of respect. >> i think we all respect greatness and no question, he is the greatest relief pitcher, i think one of the top five baseball players of all time and seemingly a very good guy too. >> it could have went so wrong but it went so right the whole night. >> including the sweep which was the most important part at all. >> i'm still having a problem with flacco missing the birth of his second child. we will talk about something
