remains the immediate problem there. the utility energy power has been restored to 33% of new orleans, but it may be until september 29th before all the state has electricity again. with temperatures in the 90s this weekend and so many without air-conditioning, a post ida evacuation is now happening there. abc's elwyn lopez is live in albany, louisiana, with more. elwyn, good morning. >> reporter: whit, good morning. the destruction here just one of the signs of what people are up against. the other sign, those long lines for food, gas and water, hundreds now fleeing the heat. this morning one week after ida tore through louisiana more than 500,000 people without power. the storm taking out eight critical transmission lines into the new orleans area. >> i did stick it out. i can't stick it out no more. >> reporter: the city shuttling some of those struggling in the

northern louisiana and texas. several of these have been going out today. hundreds of people finally getting relief. people evacuating due to dangerous temperatures. the heat index topping more than 100. >> you've been in an apartment with no ac? >> for five days. >> reporter: after several days some could no longer take it. >> every night it would get warmer. then try to tough it out. without any air, you have to get out. it's too tough. >> there's no cold water. there's no ice. there's no food. >> reporter: the town of grand isle remains uninhabitable. the mayor there says recovery will take months. >> looks like a bomb went out. no water. we have no electricity. we have no food. >> reporter: louisiana's largest utility saying those hardest hit could be without power until the end of september. >> it's been just unbelievable. the heat, you know, it's just what can we do?

>> reporter: hi. good morning, whit. we are approaching the death toll of hurricane harvey four years ago. we may very well surpass that. aside from the human toll, the cleanup is a huge headache for millions of americans. especially here in westchester county in the northeast. the garbage trucks have come by once and the garbage continues to be piled up as people continue to clean out their homes. thousands of them across this part of long island sound. new jersey the hardest hit state. 27 fatalities there. the governor has been touring that area. ten inches of rain in three hours in some spots. manville hit hard. not only flooding but fires as well. biden will visit that state and queens tuesday. philadelphia, finally the vine street expressway has re-opened after flooding shut that down. 800 bridges are needed to be inspected here because of the water that was pushing up

against all those bridges and the infrastructure in philadelphia. according to "the washington post" one in three americans have been hit by a weather disaster just in the last three months, many of which are fueled by climate change. leaders are now discussing how do we respond to this? how do we alert better more? how do we build better infrastructure with this new era we're in? hurricanes amplified by warm water is one of them. we have another major hurricane in the atlantic, hurricane larry about 1,100 miles from bermuda, heading toward that island. this looks like it's going to peal away. it will rip up dangerous rip currents and high surf among the east coast, more so on wednesday. your holiday weekend should be okay if you're going to the beach. we're looking at this disturbance scheduled to get into the gulf of mexico. we have no idea what it's going to do. at the very least some moisture will be heading to the gulf coast and we could see more of

flooding rains and that could hamper efforts in new orleans. guys? >> rob, thank you. this labor day weekend. the mov- more than 2 million people passing through airport security on friday.they'lbeomg home soon. abc's phil lipof joins us live from new york city's laguardia airport. good morning, phil. >> reporter: good morning, eva. welcome to terminal b at laguardia. a little bit busier than usual, but while travel is down from last year, still during a pandemic after a hurricane, millions are expected to travel. as you pointed out, tsa screened 2 million people alone on friday. highest numbers since august 15th. we still have days to go. let's look at the numbers. we'll begin in the air. united tells us 2 million customers are expected to fly between thursday and tuesday. american has 26,000 flights planned between thursday and monday. travel app tripit says reservations to florida are up

200% even as the sunshine state has the second highest number of covid cases in the country, just behind california. if you plan to drive, here's some information to help you plan. the best and worst times to be driving, worst time between noon and 4:00. best time before 10:00 a.m. you still have a little time to get out there and beat the rush. tomorrow, labor day, worst time to be driving is between 1:00 and 5:00 p.m. best time before 11:00 a.m. tuesday, when so many of us are heading home, the worst time to be on the road is between 2:00 and 9:00 p.m. best time after 9:00 p.m. no matter how you're traveling, the cdc asked that you be vaccinated. urging unvaccinated people not to travel. health officials warn, with so many of us moving from state to state, the delta variant could spread with ease. if you are traveling this weekend, we hope you see family

and we hope you travel safe. dan? >> great advice, phil. staying with the pandemic, we have a new abc news/"washington post" poll that suggests vaccine hesitancy is easing somewhat, dropping to 17%. there's new concern as college football fans packed stadiums and cases rise in schools. trevor ault is in brooklyn with more on all this. trevor, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, dan. the return of college football brought up some mixed emotions for america. we had massive crowds and the atmospheres were electric, but they also stir up some real anxiety. there's been significant outbreaks bubbling up across the country, especially in schools. this weekend america welcoming back college football. stadiums across the country packed with fans, some for the first time in two years.

with students heading back to campus, some universities are seeing a surge in covid cases. >> it was unfortunate when we came here and covid started exploding. everyone is really nervous. it's a scary situation. >> reporter: the problems stem far beyond colleges. the delta variant driving up cases particularly among the unvaccinated leaving some schools coast to coast to temporarily shutter their doors. in texas alone abc station ktrk reporting at least 45 school districts with more than 40,000 students have shut down in-person learning because of covid infections. >> i think the delta variant being more contagious is just a game changer for pediatrics. >> reporter: doctors in texas say short-term closures could slow, but won't stop a surge. calling for tighter restrictions when students return. >> we think this is evidence we ought to have masking in classrooms for teachers and students.

>> reporter: in some instances covid protocols are sparking escalated altercations. an arizona elementary school principal said when a student who had been exposed to someone who tested positive was put into isolation missing a field trip -- >> we're going to confront tell them they're breaking the law. >> reporter: -- the student's father and two other men allegedly showed up at her office with zip ties saying they were going to arrest her. >> we're willing to make a citizen arrest in necessary. >> reporter: the school district saying it's exploring a possible restraining order using these videos obtained from one of the men. >> i felt threatened. there were three large men in my office. i felt violated. >> reporter: at least two of those men have been cited with misdemeanor trespassing. we reached out to the father of the student who missed the field trip. he told us that he disputed the fact that they were trespassing

and he was not aggressive. he stressed the zip ties have nothing to do with the citations they're facing. after that altercation the principal said she was sent an anonymous death threat. whit? >> trevor ault for us, thank you. we move to the upcoming anniversary of 9/11. next saturday will be 20 years since the attacks that took almost 3,000 lives and dramatically changed thi country forever. the department of homeland security is warning terrorists could exploit the anniversary. that's as the president is promising to reveal more about the original investigation. maryalice parks has the latest from the white house. >> reporter: president biden directed the department of justice to begin declassifying some documents from the government's years' old investigation into the september 11th terrorist attack. the new executive order gives the attorney general six months to make documents public, with one order of a review to be

completed by the 20th anniversary next week. it states information should not remain classified when the public interest outweighs any damage to the national security. the significant events in question occurred two decades ago. like his predecessors president biden was facing pressure from victims' families. hundreds told the president he would not be welcome at memorial events unless he declassified material, specifically anything relating to whether saudi arabia's government played a possible role in the attacks. >> a huge chunk of the hijackers were saudis. the bigger question with the saudis is what did they actually know about some of these players, about some of their own citizens and what was in their intelligence files prior to 9/11? some of that might come out in documents released. my guess is clearly some of it will not. >> reporter: late last week the department of homeland security and fbi warning that foreign terrorist organizations could exploit the anniversary. the agency saying in a bulletin

sent to law enforcement leaders obtained by abc news that they are not currently aware of any specific credible threats related to the date. to mark the anniversary, the president plans to travel to all three memorial sites in new york city, shanksville, pennsylvania and at the pentagon. whit? >> it will be a somber week ahead. maryalice parks, thank you. and the years' long fight for 9/11 records is the subject of the documentary series "9/11 plus 20" hosted by george stephanopoulos. it premiers tomorrow evening. eva? the u.s. mission in afghanistan was a direct result of 9/11. this morning, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff warning that afghanistan could fall into civil war and once again be a haven for terrorism. for the latest, let's go to jewel gentleman macfarlane in london. julia, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, eva. that's right. this weekend the chairman of the

joint chiefs of staff is in ramstein air base in germany to for himself how the u.s. and its allies are supporting afghan civilians lifted out of kabul. the general making some ominous comments about the future of afghanistan saying it is likely the country could descend into civil war which would bolster al qaeda and other terrorist organizations. last week the u.s. may have brought an end to its role in afghanistan, but let's be clear. for the people on the ground, the long fight for their rights, that is nowhere near its end. for days afghan women have been staging protests in kabul demanding rights under taliban rule. in an extremely rare show of defiance right outside the presidential palace women have been calling for participation in that new incoming government for their rights to jobs and for their children to receive an education. those crowds were met with some

pretty short shrift from the taliban. they fired tear gas and used tasers and allegations that some of the women were beaten by the militants. now disturbing news out of the evacuation centers. the state department saying they're investigating multiple allegations of young child brides among young girls who arrived back in the united states with adult men. the state department investigating those and other alleged forms of human trafficking. dan? >> really struck by the bravery of those women protesting in afghanistan. thank you, julia. really appreciate it. the crisis in afghanistan has driven down president joe biden's approval ratings, but it is not the only factor. according to a new abc news/"washington post" poll released overnight, among independents joe biden is down 7 points on his handling of covid and 9 points on his handling of the economy. that's just since july. let's bring in abc news political director rick klein. good morning. rick, you wanted to highlight

those numbers in particular. why? >> reporter: dan, it's truly striking because as rough as this summer was for the country you see this toll on president biden's approval ratings. it's that middle of the country, independents. so much of the key to his support in the past that appeared to have turned on president biden, not just on afghanistan, but on issues like the economy, on covid, even his legislative agenda. that's been the secret to biden's success. just barely above water on covid in particular that's a striking change from where he was earlier in his presidency. that core competency he was able to rely on appears to be gone. afghanistan is a piece of it, but it's spilled over into so many other parts of americans' lives. there's a lot of pessimism out there. pessimism in particular about president biden's handling of these big issues. >> with these poll numbers down, how does that impact his ability to get things done, particularly in congress? >> reporter: so much of the key to how biden governed is the

idea he has the middle with him. he has the independents on board. this month will be critical for so many parts of his agenda. congress coming back after labor day, they have a huge amount of things they need to get done. it's been predicated on the idea of a popular president doing popular things. when that changes, it changes the political calculus. that is what biden is going to be up against. he'll face significant head winds from inside his own party, from independents in trying to navigate these things with less public support than he's had in the past. >> potentially dicey days for president biden. rick klein, appreciate it. on "this week" george stephanopoulos will go one on one with white house senior adviser cedric richmond about the new texas abortion law and senator bill cassidy from louisiana on infrastructure and more. that's right here on abc later this morning. dan, another check of the weather. let's get out to rob marciano in rye, new york.

a break from the rain in some places, but many in the south still dealing with power outages. >> reporter: the heat not helping obviously. floods, fires, and other climate change amplified weather disasters. let's go to the dixie fire. remember that one? it's approaching 900,000 acres. here's some video of the canadian scoopers dropping 500,000 gallons of water on that fire in the last few days. excessive heat warnings for california, nevada, and arizona. temperatures there could reach 118 degrees. there's red flag warnings for fire danger across six states. the heat will only build.

>> reporter: warren telling abc news in an exclusive joint interview the stakes could include democrats losing control of the senate. >> the leading opponent here, larry elder, has already said if he gets the chance he will replace any democratic california senator with a republican. >> reporter: conservative radio host larry elder, whose name sent him soaring to a double digit lead and candidate caitlyn jenner seemingly relying on name recognition, not appearing in any of the debates or even traditionally campaigning. >> you spent part of this campaign in australia shooting a reality show. voters are wondering is that what they can expect from you if you're governor? >> no. when i go to sacramento, i'm working for the people, and that will be my job. i had something on the books. that was there months and months before i decided to do this. unlike a lot of politicians, i actually honor my contracts. >> reporter: no major republican has campaigned with the gop hopefuls.

candidates like former san diego mayor kevin faulkner and businessman john cox want to keep it that way. >> the governor is trying to focus on national leaders to come into california to save him. it's not going to work. what we're seeing is that we had 2 million californians that signed the recall petition. >> i think they'll say we tried politicians. we tried media celebrities like jenner or elder. these are people that don't know how to manage. >> reporter: governor newsom and warren making the case what happens in california has massive consequences for the rest of the country. >> ten months ago if larry elder were governor of california, who would he have appointed to replace kamala harris? >> this is a moment when we need to hang on to our majority in the united states senate. >> reporter: larry elder's team didn't make him available to us. as for newsom, amy klobuchar and kamala harris will be stumping for him as well. the other candidates say they'll be campaigning hard too to try to flip the numbers. it's tricky in california.

the way the numbers work if 50% of voters vote to recall governor newsom he's out. then the opponent with the most number of votes, regardless of how many, becomes california's next governor. eva? >> zohreen, thank you. coming up on "good morning america," saving you money this labor day weekend. where to find the best sales. where to find the best sales. if you have postmenopausal osteoporosis and a high risk for fracture, now might not be the best time to ask yourself...
