hello there, everybody. this is your cnn saturday morning for the 2nd day of october. i'm t.j. homes. we start, those with that deadly flooding that's hit much of the east coast. north carolina pretty much getting the worst of it. one town just about all it is under water. got that four and reynolds wolf standing by for us as well with the forecast. also some new questions this morning about that tragic case of cyber bullying. a rutgers university student commits suicide after his sexual encounter is posted online. but the question some are asking now did the university ignore some red flags? live report on that just minutes away. also a home improvement product that could actually not improve the home coburn the house down. the massive recall ordered for do it yourself books that give out dangerous advice. those details you need to see.

those are coming up. but let's go to this desperate situation. tens of thousands of people all up and down the east coast dealing with this now. flooding from north carolina to new england killed at least eight people, homes, businesses under water. roads are closed. some people have to get out of their homes. high water starting to recede in some areas. that's great. warnings and watches are still in place. flooding triggered by remnants of a tropical storm. that tropical storm nicole and another weather system that interacted with that region. we bring in reynolds wolf who can give you a better explanation. those two systems came together and just sat over north carolina. >> it was a deadly combination of both of those that brought this on. just incredible amounts of rainfall. right now if you look at radar a few tell tale showers off the coast. very heavy. in many spots along parts of north carolina but into new york. absolutely brutal the heavy rainfall. some places in north carolina

came very close to getting up to two feet of rain. much of that has gone which is great news. still the ground absolutely saturated. clean up will begin today as those waters quickly recede. what we can anticipate is for shower activity forming back to the west and south of the great lakes. this area of low pressure and trailing cold front will pull eastward and as they do it will bring rain to parts of cincinnati back to columbus, ohio, cleveland before the day is out. as that front gets very close to the carolinas you might see more cloud cover, maybe a stray shower but not of the magnitude we've had. back out to the west coast mix of suns, clouds, few spots san francisco maybe san jose, you could see a few stray showers. just east of say san diego but for the most part a fairly nice day out there. temperatures across the nation, for the big bowl game today in

dallas, the game between the longhorns and oklahoma sooners 84 degrees expected by kickoff. 57 in chicago. 66 in st. louis and atlanta with 78 degrees. as we wrap things up, this tropical system that brought the rough weather to parts of the carolinas the heavy rainfall is moving out to sea. however we're keeping an eye on two other areas of concern. one here in the center of the atlantic, east of the leeward islands. western caribbean, watching a few stray showers there that there's no reason for major concern but some things keeping a very sharp eye on. the season goes all the way through november 30th. you have to watch tropics especially this time the year. t.j.? >> we appreciate you as always, buddy. talk about the big major flooding we had here in the u.s. look at this in mexico. they still have major flooding situations. disaster declaration now cover about three dozen cities and towns. red cross say up to 100,000 people are affected here.

high weather triggered by weather systems that pounded the country late last month. this morning we're getting word of another audio message that is once again purportedly from al qaeda leader osama bin laden. this would be the second message we've gotten in two days and in this one he's urging muslims to do more to help flood victims in pakistan. cnn has not been able to verify the authenticity of that voice. in pack stone drone attacks have killed 18 people most of them suspected militants. target area is a tribal region near afghanistan. we have more from islamabad. >> reporter: this latest series of drone strikes has left at least a dozen militants dead all of them occurred north of waziristan, which is a stronghold of the taliban and al qaeda. this comes after a month of increased drone strikes by the u.s., way more than we've seen in almost any month in the past. some of these strikes causing a

lot of controversy as well, especially helicopter incursions that have happened by u.s. military helicopters into pakistani territory, one of those incurrings caused the death of three pakistani border soldiers and since then pakistan shut down the main supply route for nato goods headed through pakistan into afghanistan. that route remains shut down and only yesterday one of these convoys was attacked by militant, set on fire of 27 trucks in that convoy, 25 burned out. what's happened since then is that a lot of these convoys which were stationary at the side of the road in many places have been moved into depots to get them away from the road and help improve security. a deadly rail collision in central indonesia to tell you about. the transportation ministry says 34 people were killed when one train rammed into another. at least 36 people were hurt as well.

both trains were headed for jakarta. rutgers university planning a moment of silence before today's football game to honor tyler clementi, the 18-year-old student jumped off a bridge after a video of a sexual encounter with another male was online. stephanie elam has the latest. good morning to you. what do we know now? we're trying to figure out timelines of how this all went down and try to piece together exactly what happened. >> reporter: it's so tragic, t.j., to think about at 18 feeling like there's no other way out other than to just take your own life. what exactly did tyler feel, what dethink? that's the mystery here. we found some posts on the internet that appear to be from tyler. we don't know for sure they are from him. the person post is upseptember

his roommate taped him. he said he contacted his r.a. and two university officials above him, we've asked the university about this and they said they can't comment on it because of federal privacy laws that protect college students. we don't know exactly what transpired. we asked the university if they could characterize how they handled the situation and did they handle it well. here's what the university spokesperson told us. i have spoken to virtually every principle involved in this matter and they have attempted to handle this matter to the best of their ability. that leaves us with a lot of questions. university president says he plans to reach out to the leaders of the community to see if twlas that they can work together so that students don't feel like they are isolated in situations like this. >> a lot of questions we all have but i assume, i guess one of the questions that the investigators, everybody is looking into this, we all have questions. >> reporter: oh, yeah everyone is asking so many things. they are in the mid.

an investigation now. they are not telling us exactly what they are or are not finding. they do say they are considering bias charges against the two students they charged in the case but haven't made a determination on that yet. you got two 18-year-olds. these two students actually knew each other from high school and just randomly ended up living on the same floor in college is what we're understanding. these two who are dealing with this now. >> we're hearing anything else now from tyler's family? >> reporter: we've gotten a couple of statements out from them. there was another one that came out yesterday. obviously, they are still very much in the grieving process and haven't spoken to the media. but they have put out messages through their lawyer. here's one we saw yesterday. quote, we understand our family's personal tragedies present important legal issues for the country as well as for us. regardless of our legal outcomes our hope is that our family's personal tragedy will serve as call for compassion, empathy and

human dignity. at rutgers a very somber campus. many students wore all-black yesterday. there's that moment of silence that's planned for today's football game and a vigil that's in the works for tomorrow night. it brings up that whole question how do you police what people put on the internet. we need new laws because there's this whole social networking outlet that a lot of people are involved with. >> this case is so wrong in so many ways. >> reporter: so easy to put something out there without it even thinking about what you could be really doing. >> up can't take it back once it gets out there. we appreciate you as always. good to see you this morning. coming up, they are armed with cameras and a right-wing agenda and cnn giving you and unprecedented look into the new breed of america's conservative activists.

blogger. he's been on a cross country trip blogging across america about some of the hot button political issues. i asked him why he thought it was important for in the home at the rally. >> i'm part of 400 groups being here. we're here to bring people together, to talk about the issues that are of concern right now in the country. i think when you look at what's been going on not just in the past eight years but the last couple of years there's a little bit of frustration, i think there's a need to move beyond divisive politics. that sort of brought all these organizations together. i see a ton of people from t naacp is one of 400 groups. their hope is people on the hill, our representatives will notice that we have concerns and we have something to say and that we want them to refocus on what's going on in the country. >> you said upset about what happened. you also mentioned what's been happening the past couple of years. is this rally meant to send a

message directly to president obama that some of you all, you maybe in particular not happy with what you've been seeing the past couple of years? >> i'm not going to say me in particular. i do think there are people that are just concerned would probably be the right word. other people are frustrated. for me it's an opportunity to say hey we still -- there's still things that need to be done. i think two years is a short amount of time. i'll give the administration a little bit of credit. i think they did a lot of great things. but i think the administration knows themselves there's still work to be done. i think this is geared more towards the hill, though, not necessarily the administration. that's my personal feeling. >> that's your personal feeling. is there a feeling as well that this rally needs to in some way compete with, at least match or maybe outdo what we saw several weeks ago when glenn beck had a huge rally there or with some of the huge tea party rallies. >> should have seen that question coming.

>> do you have to compete in some way? >> i wouldn't necessarily say compete. i think it's just the -- for everyone here it's an opportunity for us to just -- we want our voices heard. i wouldn't, to me, competition, et cetera. look tea partiers have a right to speak as well. that is the -- that's what's written in the constitution. so i wouldn't necessarily say compete at all. bawe'll have live reports fm the rally. they are getting started with official program and things kick off in a big time at noon eastern time. off the coast of italy a search goes on at this hour for two mission american balloonists that were part of an international race when their balloon got caught in rough

transit bathroom station, with a baby tied on back, major difference between reality and the film, and james smith plays my son, in reality my son was 14 months old. one of the things i had to ask myself looking in that mirror in that bathroom every day, how did i get here? >> what was the answer you came up with in. >> i drove here. i had something to do. i had something to do with the circumstances and conditions that were now my life. but there's also something very, very empowering about that because when you say i drove here, the other side of it is, i can drive out of here. >> wait, wait. why did we kit off. >> there's more. chris gardner is a pretty as if knitting person. everyone agrees with that. he's touring the country.
