hour. we've been watching these increasingly aggressive waves crashing into the shore and spilling over the seawall. there are extensive concerns about flooding as florida is bracing for a long week ahead. this morning, tropical storm elsa drenching the keys as rain bands hit florida's mainland. a fierce gust of wind in sunny isles blowing this chair off a balcony sending it several stories below. the person who took the video saying the chair narrowly missed a woman. this storm's arrival on the heels of the fourth of july means it's hitting with thousands of tourists still in town. south florida residents taking precautions overnight. some already feeling the effects. >> just batten down the hatches and get ready. >> reporter: and while officials are urging residents to take necessary precautions -- >> make sure their boat is secure. make sure their patio furniture is all put away. get the last-minute supplies they need to get. >> reporter: near ft. myers, residents packing sandbags in preparation with many refusing to evacuate.

on monday, elsa made landfall in cuba battering the rural region with torrential rain and strong winds, rivers overflowing flooding fields and nearby towns. officials there evacuating 180,000 to higher ground after the storm killed three people in the caribbean. and some of the permanent residents of the florida keys can be a bit dismissive of storms this time of year, but officials are really urging everyone to find safe shelter especially people who live in houseboats or trailers. and when you look at the condition of the water, already this morning and it's expected to get worse, you can understand why the warnings are in place. robin? >> we want you and everyone to take care, trevor. thank you. we'll go to ginger in north redington beach in florida with the track and timing of the storm. good morning to you, ginger. >> reporter: good morning to you, robin.

you have the surf kicking up, but it looks like a fine morning until you realize there are storms brewing that things more than 200 miles away but these hotels while they look sleepy at this moment are chock-full of vacationers. this is a big vacation weekend. it's one of the main concerns we have as this thing moves north-northwest at 12 miles per hour right now. whipping key west as you saw in trevor's piece and it will keep moving north. naples, fort myers, you'll start to deteriorate later this afternoon. we're in a hurricane watch. all the way up through clearwater, sarasota, bradenton all on the lookout for tropical storm elsa. the worst of it will pass by late tonight through early tomorrow. so that's the timing and then you see it make it up to the florida/georgia state line, that's by tomorrow afternoon. it will cook and i'll show you where it goes next. in the meantime, impacts will be heavy rain and flash flooding could be a threat, tornadoes and then that push of water, especially in tampa bay. we saw yesterday dozens of people at one site picking up sandbags and they need it, because when they get a push of water and on top of it close to a half foot of rain you can have

significant flooding problems here, robin, so i'll track this and where it goes next coming up. >> we know that throughout the morning for us, ginger, thank you. michael? >> thank you, robin. tropical storm elsa is also threatening the search and rescue effort in surfside where conditions are deteriorating as crews search for survivors. victor oquendo is in florida with the latest. good morning, victor. >> reporter: good morning, michael. with the rest of the building demolished crews can now access every section of the collapse but now another challenge in their way, the weather. overnight, rescue crews in surfside pummeled by tropical storm elsa's outer bands amid thunderstorms and strong winds kicking up dust and debris. they continue their search for survivors in a newly expanded area. discovering four more bodies hours after demolishing the part of the champlain towers left standing. clearing the way to safely reach spots that were previously inaccessible. >> the dangerous situation where debris could fall down is now eliminated. so we're operating at 100%

capacity. >> reporter: it's a race against time to find the 117 still unaccounted for and the work is round the clock. these new images of teams meeting in their control room. more than 4.8 million pounds of concrete removed so far. remnants of the lives shattered by the collapse. for those who made it out alive some now homeless. all of their belongings gone. >> i lost everything. i lost everything. the people that survive, we have to start again our life from zero. >> reporter: many families still in that agonizing wait for word like ashley dean's sister who was on the phone with her husband when the building collapsed and is still missing. >> i would wait forever to be with you and to reunite with you and then i'm holding out every bit of hope. >> reporter: this tragedy now prompting a sweep of similar condos across miami-dade county and so far two buildings have been deemed unsafe. residents, hundreds forced to evacuate.

george? >> okay, victor, thanks very much. we're going to go to washington now where president biden is set to pete with his covid response team as the vaccination effort hits a wall and the delta variant spreads among the unvaccinated. on july 4th the president cited progress against the virus but also sounded a cautionary note. >> we are closer than ever to declaring our independence from a deadly virus. that's not to say the battle against covid-19 is over. >> chief white house correspondent cecilia vega has the latest. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. president biden is saying that getting a vaccine is really the most patriotic thing an american can do right now. that event he held here over the weekend at the white house, it was the largest event of his presidency, a thousand people here, military members, first responders, but you said it. he's striking a cautionary note and he's walking a fine line on this one. he wants to show the progress that's been made in this fight against covid but he and his team are acknowledging this july 4th holiday wasn't exactly what they hoped it would be.

they really wanted it to be the breakthrough moment of the summer where they could declare freedom from the virus where restrictions could be lifted as americans hit the 70% vaccination rate. america is falling slightly short of that. it's at 67% vaccinated right now. today we're going to hear from the president again. he will emphasize, of course, this need for vaccinations, he's really going to focus on economic investment efforts he wants to see done. he said he's not necessarily concerned about a major outbreak around the country going forward, but, george, he is really concerned about lives being lost. we've got to say hundreds of people are still dying from the virus every day. that delta variant is a major concern right now. >> magnified by the new study that suggests the vaccines may not be as effective against the delta variant. >> reporter: that's the concern at home, george, those who still have not been vaccinated. look at our new poll, why it's so concerning, three in ten adults say that they have yet to get a vaccine and probably or definitely will not

get one and then take a look at this. 70% of those folks say they think officials here in the states are exaggerating the risks of the delta variant at so seems to be stalled at this point and that's causing concern for the white house officials. >> cecilia vega, thanks very much. robin? now to the latest on pope francis, recovering this morning following his scheduled surgery. the vatican saying he is in good condition. amy robach is in vatican city with the latest. good morning, amy. >> reporter: hey, good morning to you, robin. that's right. this is the second morning pope francis has woken up at the gemelli hospital here in rome and, yes, we have some positive news to pass along to you. we've just learned the pope had a well-rested night's sleep so certainly that's good to hear but perhaps the best news of all the routine follow-up examinations by doctors today showed that pope francis is in good condition. this morning, pope francis remains at rome's gemelli hospital, the vatican saying the 84-year-old pontiff is in good condition breathing on his own. this following what officials call a scheduled surgery on

sunday. the holy see office releasing a statement saying the pope is expected to remain in the hospital for seven days barring any complications. a well-informed source telling italian news agency ansa that pope francis was in good spirits even joking with doctors after he woke up from surgery. >> i think people realize it's probably a minor thing in the grand scheme of things and he should be able to recover just fine. >> reporter: according to the vatican, the pope is being treated for diverticulitis, a condition where small bulging pouches along the digestive tract become inflamed or infected which can lead to symptoms such as abdominal pain and bloating. the vatican says the pope's procedure lasted three hours, surgeons removing the left side of the colon. >> removal of that segment should allow him to be relieved of his chronic symptoms and have a normal perfect healthy routine for the rest of his life.

>> reporter: meanwhile, among the many folks reaching out to wish him well is his predecessor pope benedict. the former pontiff's private secretary says the retired pope is praying for the current pontiff's full recovery. we have a few other updates to give you on pope francis' condition. we know that he had breakfast. we know that he read a couple of newspapers and he was actually even able to take a walk. we also know that pope francis has a television in his hospital room but no official word yet, guys, on whether or not he will watch the italy/spain soccer game tonight like the rest of the country. back to you. >> no doubt. amy, as always, thanks so much. very encouraging updates. >> it is. we're going to get the latest on the search for a gunman who shot a golf pro and two others at a georgia country club on sunday. will reeve is in cobb county, georgia, with the story. good morning, will. >> reporter: good morning, george. just over my shoulder here is the 10th hole. you can see the memorial for gene siller.

he was the head pro here who was killed in broad daylight. the truck -- or the tracks of the truck that the killer was in just beyond that memorial. the hunt for that killer continues. this morning, an urgent manhunt for a suspect believed to have murdered three people including lling a golf pro at this country club outside atlanta saturday. police say they were dispatched to the pine tree country club just before 2:30 p.m. following reports of a shooting. >> a white pickup truck drove on to the putting green. shots were fired and now there's a man laying on the ground. >> reporter: investigators finding that truck trapped on the green of the 10th hole and golf pro eugene siller dead from an apparent gunshot wound to the head. the suspect fled the scene and remains at large. >> he believes that the shooter had a white shirt on, possibly a dark-skinned hispanic male. >> reporter: siller's friend and pastor rand ebberhard believes when the golf pro saw the truck drive out on the course he approached it to help out. >> he didn't go up there demanding justice with intensity.

we all knew and were confident that he was offering a hand. >> reporter: police discovering two other victims in the bed of the pickup truck. the truck's registered owner paul pierson and another unidentified male both with gunshot wounds. the country club president telling abc news siller, who was a pine tree employee for two years, was out working on the course the day of the shooting and that the car's owner had no connection to the country club. siller would have turned 47 wednesday. he leaves behind a wife and two young boys. this is a heavily populated area. kennesaw state university is just through the woods here. there are plenty of houses along the golf course. authorities are asking residents here to check their doorbell cameras for any sign of that suspect who does remain at large, george? >> okay, will, thanks very much. what a sad and strange story. michael? >> it sure is. we're going to switch gears now to game one of the nba finals. it is tipping off tonight with

the milwaukee bucks looking for their first title in 50 years while the phoenix suns go for their first championship ever including suns star chris paul after a 16-year hall of fame career. kaylee hartung is in phoenix for us this morning. good morning, kaylee. >> reporter: hey, michael. this is where it's all going down tonight, games one and two here in phoenix before the series moves to milwaukee. suns coach monty williams tells me no matter how hard he tries to stay locked in on his team when the suns go on a run, this place goes so wild, it can shake. we are ready to feel that energy tonight. >> and the milwaukee bucks are headed to the nba finals. >> reporter: the stage is set for the nba finals. >> phoenix suns for the first time in 28 years are going back to the nba finals. >> reporter: two long suffering franchises trying to make history. >> we are not even close to being done. >> we're right in the thick of it. >> reporter: it's been 50 years since kareem abdul-jabbar led the milwaukee bucks to their only title.

>> it's been crazy back in milwaukee. i've never seen anything like this. to win a championship for that city would be the world. >> reporter: and the phoenix suns have never won a championship. >> off a double-team, yes. >> we got it all. we got the athleticism, the smarts, we got the discipline, we got the coaching. >> reporter: for the first time in his 16-year career future hall of famer chris paul getting a shot at a ring. >> chris paul does it again. >> chris being a leader for us he's making sure everybody is ready and they're on their ps and qs. >> all the hard work over the years, you know, hasn't went for nothing. and to have a team full of guys who -- nobody has ever won it. you know, so when you in a locker room like that, that's probably the coolest thing because we all sort of figuring it out together. >> reporter: and now, the biggest question hanging over the finals is will we see the bucks' two-time mvp giannis antetokounmpo on the floor after

hyperextending his left knee in the eastern conference finals and missing the last two games. we're told he's doubtful for tonight, but he's making progress and bucks players tell me because they've figured out how to win without him they're more confident than ever. >> rightfully so. you're not the only one who can pronounce his last name. she nailed giannis' name. rally the valley. >> it's going to be a great game. you can see game one of the nba finals tonight at 9:00 p.m. eastern right here on abc. also coming up here, the latest on britney spears. there are reports her longtime manager larry rudolph is resigning because he says britney wants to retire. we'll tell you the latest on that. also, an abc exclusive. tragedy at an amusement park. an 11-year-old boy killed on a water ride. we're hearing from his family this morning. but first, back to ginger and florida. ginger? >> reporter: and, robin, i gave you the breakdown of elsa and florida but i've got to show where it goes next.

well, from what we just saw over the past couple of weekends, that answer is yes. it's the box office blow-out ph. "f9," the ninth installment in the "fast and furious" franchise, didn't just beat the competition. >> where is the bridge? >> reporter: but brought in crowds and $30 million over the holiday weekend. that was enough to push the film's worldwide ticket sales past $500 million, the biggest global box office haul for a hollywood movie since the beginning of the pandemic. >> we're in a better time right now for movie going. if you see that it's been a soured weekend at the box office, the bulk of that has to do with what's on the marquee. >> reporter: while "f9" hasn't broken any prepandemic sales numbers its success comes on the heels of familiar blockbuster fare like "godzilla versus kong." which brought in $500 million as well. hollywood is banking on a number of films with spin-off characters or stories that have already proved successful. scarlett johansson's upcoming "black widow" among them.

we're going to see what she is cooking up for us this morning. we'll hear how her grandkids have been helping her out in the kitchen. >> looking forward to that. right now, we're going to get the latest on tropical storm elsa. let's take a live look at key west where it's picking up. the storm's outer bands have hit parts of the state and ginger is in florida with the track and timing. welcome back, ginger. >> hey, thanks, george. about 200 some miles to our south we have that just west of key west so we've got a decent beach morning but you only have a couple hours if you're here west of tampa and the conditions are going to deteriorate. already raining in marco island. you can see on the east side of florida what it looked like with those outer bands and tropical moisture fueling up gusts up to 50 as rescuers were trying to get through that debris. fortunately, most of the action is going to be on the west side of florida. so not as many impacts there but we'll be watching it there. as it moves, i want you to know that naples and ft. myers, you're about to see deteriorating conditions in the next few hours, but st. pete, you've got bradenton, sarasota,

all going to see it by this afternoon. tonight really is the worst for tampa bay as the tide comes between 8:00 and 9:00. we'll also see the surge of three to five feet. you see the timing here, it makes landfall sometime early tomorrow morning north of tampa and between that and the big bend, something like a cedar key or just south of there. three to five feet of surge there down to one to three feet if you're in key west or up the coast there and i want to mention it doesn't stop. of course, it moves through the southeast and there will be heavy rains even in south georgia or south carolina, charleston in tropical storm watch, and eventually elsa tries to reform off the jersey coast and impact parts of the northeast and new england and i will be tracking all of this. for now we head back to you. >> that's a lot to keep track of, ginger. we know you got it covered. thank you so much. that tropical storm is also threatening the rescue effort in surfside as crews search for survivors. victor oquendo is in florida with the latest. welcome back, victor. >> reporter: yep, good morning, michael. crews are now able to work in an

dr. jen ashton is here to explain this to us. what is this all about? >> it is about the why. we've been following rates going up in young people under the age of 50. this study done in 41,000 nurses and followed them into the future really wanted to ask the question, why is this rate going up and does it have to do with something that people are doing in particular drinking? so take a look at what the study found. they looked at over 41,000 women. they followed their beverage consumption habits from teenage adolescence through young adulthood and they found that the women who drank two or more sugar sweetened beverages a day had more than twice the colorectal cancer risk at an early age. and, robin, this is the alarming one, with each additional sugar sweetened beverage a day that rate jumped by about 32%. so, again, this is based on association, not cause and effect, but potentially there is something here. >> so give us the reason why and the types of these sugar-based

drinks. >> here's the good news. we are not, underscore, not talking about natural fruits or vegetables. we're only talking about things with added sugar. sports drinks, teas, things like lemonade, obviously colas or sodas, anything for which added sugar is in there and when you talk about prevention, the hallmark of colorectal cancer, i don't care what age, is diet. so you want to get as much fiber, as low red meat, and then again things that you can control, keeping your weight in a healthy range, minimizing or moderate alcohol consumption, not smoking and exercising all really important not just for colorectal cancer but all types of cancer. >> it is on the rise. >> yeah, that was the key. they were trying to figure out why and is it something in our behavior because, again, there's a lot in medicine and our medical destiny we can't control. potentially this is something we can control. >> hopefully so. i know you'll have much more on "gma3." >> you got it. >> jen, thank you. michael? coming up, gwen stefani and blake shelton are married. tying the knot in the surprise ceremony. what we know about the wedding.

so why do you think he would be a good fit for katie? >> i just know that he has a really good heart. he is genuine. he's sincere and he is ready for marriage. that's really what katie was looking for. she said from day one looking at me, i want to get engaged at the end of this, and blake had all the right intentions so i figure that he would be a great match. >> how do you think katie's journey is going so far? >> i mean, she's done a really good job navigating a lot of the drama and weeding out some of the guys that are just not there for the right reasons. she's in for quite a loop, so she's doing a good job, though. >> i was watching. not for the right reasons, one wanted to be the next bachelor and she got him out of there. but a lot said they're really proud of her. she's been honest and she's been candid during this season. how do you think she's handled all of it? >> i mean, she's really confident and strong in herself.

she knows who she is. i think she's definitely hitting things head on. she doesn't like to just leave things out in the open. she wants to get answers and she's been doing a really good job. >> okay, here's the question. >> uh-oh. >> who does she have the best connection with so far? >> you know what, i think greg and michael a. i see some sparks there. don't you? >> well, i'm waiting to see what blake does. you threw him in the mix. let's see what he does. don't count him out yet. >> you saw some chemistry there, i'm sure. >> absolutely. >> yeah. it's going to get good. >> we'll see and we'll talk more with you about it. >> i'm sure. >> you can catch new episodes of "the bachelorette" and watch tayshia as she co-hosts the show every monday night at 8:00, 7:00 central right here on abc. coming up, the one and only patti labelle. miss patti is busy in the kitchen this morning. she will join us live. we'll be right back.

>> i know. >> i'm so excited, so excited to see this movie. i know there was a big screening for fans in london last week. you had a chance to bring your friends and your family which i know is awesome for you. so i got to ask what did mom and dad think of the movie? >> yeah, you know what, it was just so wonderful to have all the people that i love there and it's been a long wait for everyone but it's so exciting being a part of a big movie like this. so it was nice to have an evening but i sat next to my mum and my mum and dad haven't necessarily watched all the marvel movies. so i essentially explained the plot pretty much all the way through which was fun. >> and you play yelena who is like a sister to scarlett johansson's character and the first time we see you on screen you get into an epic fight but that was also the first scene you filmed with her. so that must have been a nice introduction. >> oh, my goodness. it's a great way to break the ice totally.

i had only met her probably a week previously and suddenly we're jamming each other against kitchen counters and smashing plates. it was insane. >> kind of like my first day at "gma" here as well. so i know how you felt. we'll take a look at a clip of you at work. here's "black widow" with florence pugh. >> why do you always do that thing? >> do what? >> that thing you do when you're fighting. like this -- this thing you do when you whip your hair when you're fighting with the arm and the hair and you do like a fighting pose. it's a fighting pose. you're a total poser. >> i'm not a poser. >> now, that scene originally wasn't in the script. so explain how it ended up in the movie. >> bless, so i obviously did a lot of stunt training for this movie and we -- the stunt people were saying, you need to come up with your own pose. what are you going to do? i was like, oh, my goodness, i don't know. is it safe to land like that?

they said, like that you would break your back. so i went to scarlett and said are you aware if you landed like that you'd break your back and knees and everything and she was just shaking her head. i cannot believe it. i have done it for ten years and you start having a go at my fighting pose and the writer was watching this whole interaction and he was like, that's going in. so, yeah, you can see -- >> i'm sorry. but after all of that i got to ask, will your character have her own fighting pose? >> i think it has to be pretty -- i mean i have to come up with something good after teasing her for an entire film. so i'm a little bit wary of making sure it's not bad. so i'm going to have to do some thinking on that. >> we're also going to be lucky enough to see you in the new marel series "hawkeye." so is yelena going to become the new black widow? >> you know, i'm not going to talk about that. i'm just grateful to be on this film.

i feel like we waited so long for this movie to come out that i'm just -- i'm still appreciative for that one. >> well, i tell you what, florence, i'm appreciative you're joining us this morningment big fan of you and your work and we cannot wait to see you in "black widow." >> thank you. >> you're welcome. >> thank you for having me. >> of course, bye-bye, my dear.

in person, but you can be there by watching on tv. game one of the nba finals is at 9:00 p.m. eastern, tonight, right here on abc. coming up we'll take a look at caffeine and what's really in your cup of joe? ♪ tell me that i'm crazy never all of this started when we discovered the benefits of local, raw honey for our family. and then we said "hey, you know what? this is a business right here." we went out and started to sell it. to help us get going, we got the chase business complete banking ℠ account. it's more than a bank account. it comes with quickaccept, which lets us take card payments anytime, anywhere,

welcome back. while many enjoy your coffee we want to welcome best-selling author michael pollan. he's looking at how caffeine and other plants can affect your brain in his new book "this is your mind on plants." >> good morning, michael. >> good morning. >> i love how you put yourself in the middle of your books and make yourself a subject of the investigation and did it this

time around as well. no caffeine for three months. tough? >> yeah. it made me -- the reason i did it was to figure out what is our relationship to this plant. why is it so important to us? and what i found is i am, indeed, addicted. that's not necessarily a bad thing. but my relationship to caffeine like 90% of us was kind of essential to the formation of my personality. my ego. >> yeah, but you didn't actually drink all that much coffee. you were drinking a half caf each day before you gave up caffeine, yet you still found yourself addicted to it? >> yeah. when i got off it, i just didn't feel myself for three months and what that told me is that myself is caffeinated. my default consciousness is caffeinated. >> so when you started drinking coffee again, did you notice a change or did you just go back to normal? >> well, that first cup after three months is a revelation, i mean, of just how powerful this drug is. i just felt these waves of euphoria. i mean, it's worth getting off just to get back on.

it's almost psychedelic, the power of caffeine. >> well, the way you make it -- >> i was happy to get back on. i was sad to lose that sense of power. so for awhile i only had caffeine once a week on saturdays and i would look forward to saturdays and i would get so much done. >> but you say it's very addictive. the way you talk about it makes it seem incredibly addictive and the way most of us drink coffee it kind of proves the point. but it also sounds like you're saying it's not necessarily a harmful addiction? >> we tend to moralize addiction. we figure you're a failure or weak in some way but every culture on earth has some plant that they use to change consciousness. it just seems to be a deep human desire and i looked deeply into the health effects of caffeine and there's really only one thing to worry about. in general caffeine is protective against many kinds of cancer, against parkinson's disease, against cardiovascular disease. it's good for you in many ways. the only thing is if you drink

it late into the day, it disturbs your sleep. your deep sleep. and that is important to our health. so there's really -- if you can afford it, if you have access to it and if it's not ruining your life, enjoy it. >> you're more productive, happier on caffeine than without it. >> oh, without question. look, morning tv would not exist without caffeine. >> tell me about it. >> you guys know that. >> and, you know, that's what got me to the studio at this hour. and the modern world in which we work very long hours, in which we can focus and do double entry bookkeepi bookkeeping, all of this, the industrial revolution depends on this drug. and so we're actually quite lucky to have it. it is what has allowed us to disconnect from the rhythms of the sun and work -- get to work early or work late. and so, yeah, there's so much that, you know, we owe to caffeine in modern life. >> you make it sound like a miracle drug.

michael pollan, thanks very much.
