this movie came out. i think it's safe to say everyone here was. >> barely. >> crispy little nugget there. >> we went on the town with these uber-fans. sara is all over the story. much more on that coming up. but we do begin with dangerous labor day weekend weather, which is sending summer out with a bang. floodwaters are spoiling celebrations. big games have been canceled. and right now millions of people are in the bull's-eye of severe storms, and abc's linzie janis has the very latest. good morning, linzie. >> reporter: good morning, paula. the first part of the holiday weekend already a washout for millions of americans. parts of louisiana saw nearly 8 inches of rain saturday. kentucky, 5 inches. those rains triggering dangerous flooding, and it's not over yet. some 40 million people are in the threat zone for more severe weather today. overnight, flash flooding and lightning dampening the holiday weekend for millions across the southeast. in alabama, mississippi, and louisiana, heavy rain turning roads into rushing rivers. residents wading to safety.

this man was in the process of repairing his lake george, louisiana, home from the last flood. now it's submerged again. his neighbor's home in trouble, too. >> we've got, i mean, enough damage here, you can't have anything in your garage. >> reporter: and they may be the only ones. but these kids are carefree, splashing around in the streets. >> rain or shine, y'all have fun. >> reporter: in gainesville, florida, torrential rains drenching gators fans on opening night. they waited nearly three hours before lightning forced officials to postpone the game. severe storms in auburn, too. the entire stadium finally evacuated after a nearly 90-minute delay. and out west, the holiday weekend destroyed for dozens more. 40-mile-an-hour winds whipping up a dust storm across washington state's i-82, blinding drivers and causing a 50-car pileup. well, severe weather and flooding seen in the southeast isn't over.

it's now heading north with much of the eastern half of the nation expected to see storms throughout the weekend. that means us, guys. happy labor day. >> yeah. not so happy labor day. i want to pick up on what you just said. how dangerous is this going to be in some spots? how much of a washout will this be? let's bring in meteorologist stephanie roberts who is with us from our abc station in sarasota, florida. thanks for being here. >> glad to be here. but we are talking about some dangerous weather, two different areas of concern for us today. first, in the northeast from the mid-atlantic up to new england. these include philadelphia, newark, washington, d.c., you could see some very damaging winds, some hail and some heavy downpours later today. it stays west of new york city. kind of west of that i-95 corridor. now, in the middle of the country, a very widespread area of severe storms, stretching all the way from minneapolis down into the upper plains. and what we're looking at here is, again, the risk of an isolated tornado and the damaging winds.

we reported 70-mile-per-hour wind gusts yesterday in north dakota. for labor day, we still keep the risk. it slides to chicago, st. louis, and kansas city. it's not going to be a total washout. these storms likely later on in the day. but we could see 1 to 3 inches of rain across the area. paula? >> thank you, stephanie. and now to the first openly gay player drafted into the nfl, michael sam, cut by the st. louis rams yesterday. so, what are the chances that he'll land with another team? abc's gio benitez joining us with the very latest. good morning, gio. >> reporter: good morning to you, paula. the former mizzou star didn't make the final roster. passed up for an undrafted rookie and right now, the first openly gay player selected in the nfl draft faces the challenge of finding a new football home. this morning, michael sam's future is uncertain after being released from the st. louis rams. >> mike played well. he has the ability to play someplace, and it's got to be the right place. it's got to be a fit. >> reporter: the defensive lineman receiving the bad news friday night. >> sam was released by the rams.

>> reporter: and then enjoying his alma mater's first game of the season on saturday. he made football history as the first openly gay player drafted by an nfl team. >> it's amazing to think by what just doing what we can, we can all touch, change, and even save lives. >> reporter: sam cut, despite garnering a team best six tackles against the miami dolphins thursday. but the coach says this decision is based solely on football. >> there was no distraction. i was pulling for him. and it didn't work out. it just didn't work out. >> ethan westbrooks, another defensive lineman, who is a little more versatile. it was a tough call. but that's the reason why i think the rams kept ethan westbrooks over michael sam. >> reporter: overnight, sam taking the setback in stride, saying in a series of tweets, "i want to thank the entire rams organization and the city of st. louis for giving me this tremendous opportunity." adding, "the most worthwhile things in life rarely come easy. this is a lesson i have always known.

the journey continues." a fighter on and off the field, telling our robin roberts he hoped to be an inspiration to other gay athletes. >> i think i can be a beacon for those people in life. hey, i can be comfortable in my own skin and be like michael sam. >> reporter: and, you know, sam always knew this was a possibility. more than 20 players could be cut by the end of preseason for all teams. and now this morning, 31 other teams have until noon today to put in a claim for sam, and, guys, if unclaimed, he could end up joining a practice squad. >> yeah, this is not uncommon. just because you're drafted doesn't mean that you're actually going to make the team out of camp. >> exactly. >> gio, thank you. we have some big health news this morning. it involves an experimental drug that doesn't even have a name yet. but it could be a game-changer when it comes to treating congestive heart failure, which affects more than 5 million people here in america, and abc's dr. jennifer ashton is here with more. first, ki get you to define congestive heart failure? >> this is basically a weakening of the heart muscle, dan, that

then leads to a hormonal domino effect that causes problems with fluid overload, fluid in the lung, swelling in the legs. >> 5 million americans have this. what is so exciting about this new drug? >> it's called lcz-696. you're right. it doesn't have an official name yet. just rolls right off the tongue. it's a combination of two drugs actually and being called highly significant and clinically important by some of the country's top cardiologists. when compared to the traditional heart failure medication, patients on this drug had a 20% reduced risk of death from cardiovascular disease. 20% reduced risk of hospitalization for heart failure and, as we heard, they actually stopped this study early because the benefit was so clear-cut. >> 20% is significant. but is there any down side here? >> well, first of all, this study was funded by the maker of the drug. in terms of side effects, it had actually slightly fewer side effects than the traditional medication. if approved by the fda, it could be available for patients here by early 2015, but it comes at a price. might be as much as $7 a day. >> wow. $7 a day. that's $2500 a year. the question is, will health insurance cover it.

of course, jen, thank you very much. we appreciate it. paula, over to you. >> thank you, dan. and now attacking isis, that group of military extremists. the u.s. launching more air strikes against them in iraq, and this morning, there's growing cry for an international effort to take on these terrorists. so, let's bring in abc's chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz, who is in washington to host "this week." good morning, martha. and what is the latest this morning? >> reporter: good morning, paulg la. overnight the pentagon announced that air strikes and humanitarian drops have expanded to help the thousands of residents of another town threatened by isis in northern iraq. this morning, united states fighter jets and drones pounding targets in strikes like this one on an isis convoy, in addition to humanitarian flights from the u.s., france, britain, and australia helping the residents of amerly, the shia-turkmen residents. and overnight the terror group releasing another gruesome videotaped execution on social

media. showing the beheading of a soldier captured along the syrian border with lebanon earlier this month. officials say it's tactics like this and an expertise with social media which enables isis to expand rapidly. >> you can reach a lot wider of an audience with online videos than you can word of mouth. >> reporter: a question now more pertinent than ever, will america expand its air strikes? in a "new york times" op-ed, secretary of state john kerry called for worldwide support for fighting the hardened fighting force of committed jihadists with global ambitions. but in a response, senators john mccain and lindsey graham critiquing the white house writing, "isis must be confronted militarily, adding that combat in iraq alone and not syria would be fighting with one hand tied behind our back." >> the president hasn't yet laid out a specific plan for military action in syria, and the reason for that is simply that the pentagon is still developing that plan. >> reporter: for now, the u.s.

to aid forces while still crafting a plan to take down the isis black flags in the region. so there is no indication this morning that the president is ready to expand the fight to syria where isis has a solid, safe haven. the administration still working on a strategy. paula. >> yes, and that now infamous statement by the president. martha, can you tell us what you'll be discussing on "this week"? >> we're going to look at every angle of isis, how they recruit americans. that terror threat in britain raised to severe, and we'll have much more on the nfl and michael sam. >> don't miss it. thank you so much, martha raddatz. it's all coming up on abc's "this week." thank you, martha. had dan? a lot of news overnight and, as always, we check the morning headlines with this gentleman over here, mr. ron claiborne. >> still working. still working. >> work right up until the last second here. good morning to you, dan and paula. welcome back from the football wars. and good morning, everyone. we begin with some frightening moments over the nation's capital as f-16 fighter

jets were scrambled when a small private plane entered restricted air place. the plane which left waukesha county airport in wisconsin saturday morning en route to manassas, virginia, kept going passing over washington, d.c., before flying out over the atlantic and crashing into the sea. the coast guard said the pilot apparently lost consciousness and was not responding to radio calls. a map of the pilot's route shows a curved path through chesapeake bay before taking a sharp turn south where it crashed 50 miles off of chincoteague island, virginia. in california, two separate wildfires in north california have merged. threatening as many as 250 homes near wyreka. the fire service says low humidity and warm weather has refueled the fires that were sparked by lightning two weeks ago. all residents in the fire's path are evacuated. nearly 2,000 firefighters are battling that blaze. overseas, a third volcanic eruption has rocked iceland this morning, the same area that had a similar blast on friday.

only this time volcanic ash has raised the aviation warning to red reflects flights through the eruption zone. in france, a child is killed and a dozen other people missing in the collapse of a four-story building in a paris suburb. rescue crews are digging through rubble to try to locate 12 people, 5 of them children, believed to be trapped inside. france's interior minister is on the scene monitoring the search and investigation. and joan rivers remains in serious condition at a new york city hospital this morning. the 81-year-old comedian has been unconscious since arriving at the hospital thursday after she stopped breathing during an outpatient procedure. her daughter, melissa, who rushed to be at her side is thanking people for their prayers and support. and a downtown louisville, kentucky, street looked more like a whitewater rafting excursion location overnight. a huge water pipe underground exploded sending water crashing into the streets. the road remains closed this morning, and officials are actually not sure when it will be reopened.

and finally, talk about beginner's luck for a retired librarian in alaska. barb gorman is her name. she's 87 years old. she went on her first fishing trip ever last month on the kenai peninsula and reeled in that enormous halibut. >> that is a fish? >> it looks photoshopped. >> it looks like a balloon actually but it is a real fish, we're assured. the big catch tipped the scales at -- check this out -- 129 pounds, which is actually more than she weighs. >> how did she pull it in? >> she had a little bit of help. but that's a heck of a haul. >> why did she go fishing? just for the halibut. >> just for the halibut. >> oh, no. >> bad joke? >> bad is maybe too weak a word. >> okay. sorry. >> it worked out. >> a huge fish. that's right. >> i'm going to save us from the puns. anybody remember that line from the movie "the color of money"? paul newman's character, fast eddie, says, money won is twice as sweet as money earned. given that gambling has always held such a strong allure for some of us, how to explain then what is happening to the famous

casinos right now on the storied boardwalk in atlantic city. abc's michelle franzen is on the story. what's going on here? >> reporter: certainly the casino business has always been a little bit of lady luck and in the past few years, a dozen gambling venues in the ac has been rolling the dice to turn a profit. but too many casinos and too few tourists are leading to dramatic changes in this historic seaside spot. this morning, icons being shuttered as an american mecca of tourism crumbles. three popular atlantic city casinos cashing out and closing their doors after months of financial struggles. >> it's a sad day down here in atlantic city. >> terrible. i'm very disappointed. >> ah, it's a bummer. i hate to see it go. >> reporter: later today, the showboat packs up their playing tables followed by the $2.4 billion revel casino, just two years old. and finally, the trump plaza in two weeks. these closures expected to leave nearly 25% of the city's workforce jobless. >> i have family members that

actually have been working for the trump for over 30 years, and she doesn't know what she's going to do. >> a lot of bills, family, cars, lives, houses, children. >> scary. scary time for my family and i. >> reporter: the city embedded in american culture glamorized in shows like "boardwalk empire". >> atlantic city was built for good times. >> reporter: -- has been on the decline. since 2006, casinos have lost nearly $3 billion in annual revenue. now, just eight casinos will remain in what had been the east coast's gambling capital for decades. >> we have come here every single year for years. my grandparents going to the casinos. it's something that they look forward to every year. i don't know what they're going to do. >> reporter: now, atlantic city's mayor is saying new jersey may try to ease the pinch on those laid off workers with possible mortgage payment extensions. and the remaining casinos are also pledging to hire some of those laid off workers. but that's a lot of difference to make up. >> yeah. absolutely.

thinking about those workers this morning. >> thank you very much, michelle. and now a whole lot of trouble for whole foods, the popular and trendy grocery chain. a bit lawsuit claiming that their in-house greek yogurt has much more sugar than the label actually reveals, and abc's bazi kanani has the details from washington. good morning, bazi. >> reporter: good morning, paula. there are several brands of plain greek yogurt on the market. all of them have at least 6 grams of sugar per serving. but this whole foods brand says it has just 2 grams of sugar per serving on the label. so which one would you choose? well, that is the question some angry customers are asking in a lawsuit, alleging they were misled. shoppers looking for the healthiest option in the yogurt aisle are now suing whole foods to get their money back. filed in new york friday, the class-action lawsuit alleges the health store chain was fully aware of the true sugar content in its store brand of plain greek yogurt.

but claims customers were unaware until a "consumer reports" investigation in july revealed that whole foods 365 plain nonfat greek yogurt didn't have just two grams of sugar per serving, as marked on the label, but actually had 11.4 grams, more than 5 times the listed amount. >> this is important not just for our clients but for just overall for consumers to have confidence that what manufacturers and what companies are telling them is accurate. it's a health issue, and it's a health risk. >> reporter: in court documents, attorneys say whole foods sought to give itself a competitive advantage and to use this false statement of contents to induce consumer to purchase their brands. experts tell abc news bad labels can have serious consequences. >> consumers, like a diabetic, will be looking at that nutrition label and making decisions for their daily life and their intake and if they're counting, every gram counts for them.

>> reporter: whole foods tells us it's investigating the "consumer reports" claim saying, "we strive to provide only the highest quality products with accurate product labeling." this product was tested by a reputable third party lab using fda-approved testing methodology. whole foods says until the issue is sorted out, its shoppers will have many other brands of greek yogurt to choose from. whole foods has pulled its plain nonfat yogurt off the market. although the lawsuit is also challenging the sugar claim in this lower fat version. now, nutritionists say even though there is naturally occurring milk sugar in plain yogurt, they say it's still a better choice than the flavored kind which generally has added sugar in it. paula, dan. >> thank you, bazi. disturbing claims nonetheless. you would hope that you could trust what is on the label. >> you're already doing the right thing by reading it so to know that they could be misleading you kind of why try? >> around the horn, what do you eat for breakfast? >> eggs. protein. >> nothing ever. >> i have seen him, speaking of

eating, i have seen him eat a whole thing of ice cream before we go on the air. >> ice cream? >> ice cream. >> you know i'm a bacon gal. always, every day. bacon, bacon, bacon. >> do you eat yogurt? >> i do. i do eat some greek yogurt. i also eat eggs. >> the healthy one. the allegedly healthy one. >> that's why he has a healthy glow. >> that and the makeup that give me a healthy glow. back to the weather and wwsb, meteorologist stephanie roberts. stephanie, good morning once again. >> good morning, and we have florida-like heat and humidity headed up to the northeast today. 91 degrees this afternoon in philadelphia. a gorgeous start this morning. the humidity going to continue building in as we go throughout the day. a nice look at the delaware river there in between philly and new jersey. but the heat and humidity will be cause for concern all across the northeast as we get into the afternoon. that is warm, moist, tropical flow. that's going to help fuel those afternoon thunderstorms. so, remember, severe weather risks all in place from new

england all the way through the mid-atlantic. 94 degrees in washington, d.c. it does get a little bit cooler as you go inland toward the west. here's a place not cool. the south. sunny and hot. 97 oklahoma city this afternoon. 99 in laredo. we will continue to see those hot temperatures right into your labor day and hot and dry in the desert southwest. yuma, you hit 113 yesterday, one degree short of a record. right back up to 110 today. the cool spot is in the northwest. cool and cloudy there. but a reminder, there's a pretty big severe weather threat in the middle of the country from minnesota down to kansas city.

>> paula and dan, back to you. >> thank you. coming up on "gma," tackling trouble. police are investigating the college football star who lied about rescuing his drowning nephew. so was he involved in domestic violence? >> a lot of new questions this morning. and on a lighter note, three decades after the movie first came out, why the "ghostbusters" are causing such a fan frenzy on this holiday weekend. >> i love it. and the lawnmower man. a side of oscar winner matthew mcconaughey you have never seen before. all the details up ahead in "pop news." >> breaking "pop news." >> breaking "pop news." honey? what's our son doing in the bennett family portrait?

including some deranged fans that we left loose on the streets of new york. that's coming up. first, however, we have new information this morning in the bizarre case of josh shaw, the star player for usc's college football team. >> well, he has admitted to lying about just how he sustained painful injuries. but now he's suddenly gone silent as police dig deeper into this story. here's abc's ryan smith. >> reporter: while his usc teammates celebrate their big win over fresno state in last night's season opener -- >> and a touchdown, wow. >> reporter: -- this morning, police investigating football standout josh shaw for possible domestic violence. the team captain was suspended from the team indefinitely after admitting to fabricating a story that he injured his ankles rescuing his nephew from a swimming pool. >> he lied about saving his nephew and beg a hero. he lied now about how he fell and injured himself, and now any more statements could lead to criminal charges and a pr nightmare. >> reporter: the lapd telling abc news they received a report of a woman screaming saturday

night, the same night shaw claimed to have jumped from a second floor balcony to save his drowning nephew. witnesses telling police a man matching shaw's description was seen climbing off the third floor balcony of shaw's girlfriend's apartment. police claim our investigation showed he was there, but shaw has denied being there. >> if nothing else, the police can charge him with lying to the police, which would be obstruction of evidence and lying to a police officer. >> reporter: according to police, shaw's girlfriend did not indicate she was a victim of domestic violence, and police, trying to get to the bottom of what actually did happen that night, saying "we would have liked to hear mr. shaw provide some clarity about the situation, but that isn't going to happen." shaw's lawyer advising the player not to speak to police anymore about the case because he says shaw spoke to them twice and it is now time to move on. for "good morning america," ryan smith, abc news, new york.

>> unclear whether he'll be able to move on given the ongoing investigation. >> right. that's what happens when you potentially get caught in a web of lies. and, ron, back with all the other top headlines. >> good morning. >> nothing was meant by that. just so you know. >> thanks. speaking of lies, here's ron claiborne. >> right here. that eye contact. >> hi, paula. dan and sara. good morning, everyone. we begin with the renewed u.s. air strikes targeting the islamic extremist group isis in iraq. u.s. fighter jets and drones are pounding targets like this one. in a convoy of isis, this as the terror group released another gruesome videotaped execution of a soldier this time captured along the syrian border. and michael sam, the first openly gay player drafted into the nfl was released by the st. louis rams. sam took to social media thanking the rams for the opportunity to try out for the team. and in a meeting with eu leaders, ukraine's prime minister warned that his country is at the brink of a full-scale war if what he called russian

aggress is not stopped. russian officials are reportedly inside ukraine. meantime, putin has apparently called upon ukraine to start what he called de-escalating the crisis. and finally, college football kicked off this season in a big way. take a look at this. this is a great catch here. that was nebraska wide receiver jordan westerkamp making a seemingly impossible and amazing behind-the-back catch and he managed to stay inbounds. catch of the year on the first day of college football? catch of a century. >> possibly. >> nebraska went on to win the game, 55-7 over florida atlantic. the question, why is nebraska playing florida atlantic, by the way? >> we'll have that coming up in the show, right? ron. >> not exactly a powerhouse in football is where i'm going with that. >> deep thoughts with ron claiborne there. right? >> first she chews me up, accusing me of lying. now, deep thoughts. >> that was dan harris. read between the lines. right there. >> having your back. always. and instigating. >> i have stephanie's back, as well.
