[ laughter ] >> george: i'm very impressed that you were able to pull it off. >> michael: you should have heard me after i said it. wasn't so nice. what is nice is that you're joining us this morning. it is a busy morning indeed in times square. our team is tracking our top story. >> rebecca: helene is on the move right now. there is a live look at atlanta getting slammed this morning. >> george: it is the strongest hurricane to make landfall in florida's big bend region on record. brought massive amounts of rain, historic flooding. we have team coverage across the zone including ginger.

good morning, ginger. >> ginger: george this storm is remarkable for so many reasons. we had five to seven feet of record storm surge. see the piling of that pontoon. this boat here, they're in front of the house, as are dozens of others up and down the street. they were pushed up and over four lanes of a causeway. this is just the beginning of the damage. at best we were 110 miles from the center of the storm. it has plowed through georgia. flash flood emergencies in atlanta up to north carolina right now. overnight hurricane helene slamming into florida's big bend, making landfall as a deadly category 4 storm. catastrophic sustained winds up to 140 miles per hour, first ever cat 4 on record for the big bend. the warnings of unsurvivable storm surge eerily playing out. entire homes swept away. >> whole house is floating away. >> ginger: ripped off their foundation by helene's surge. the porch on this home left

behind. the scene illuminated by lightning. at least five people are dead across florida, georgia and north carolina. one of those deaths happened when this sign fell onto a car in florida. >> it just shows you that it's very dangerous conditions out there. >> ginger: the storm footprint massive. you can see it from the satellite there in space. tropical storm force winds extending up to 310 miles from the center. had a 76 mile per hour wind gust and we are 150 miles from the center of the storm. that's how far reaching this thing is. florida highway patrol shutting down major bridges across tampa bay. record surge making it too dangerous to pass. waves battering all lanes. in ft. meyers rescuers fighting the wind. this boat in waist high flood water. in pasadena first responders rushing to emergency calls of raging fires surrounded by storm surge. and in clearwater a man and his dog rescued after his 36 foot sail boat started taking on water. officials in the big bend asking those who chose not toe vac wait before the storm to write their

name and birth date on their body with permanent marker hoping that could help with identification in case of the worst. >> i think my roof is coming apart. yes, this is the real deal. >> reporter: michael bobbitt staying behind rescuing his neighbors on cedar key. >> their house will be completely covered in water. they would have died in that house. >> reporter: our whit johnson reporting overnight from a flooded tampa. >> you can see we're elevated, but look at that water line down that step. you can see how deep it is. >> ginger: more than 3 million customers without power, florida, georgia, south carolina so far. this storm chaser capturing transmission towers igniting. 911 overload. cars abandoned on roads, water too high. >> this storm is raging. >> ginger: waves crashing over walls, flooding homes. >> i couldn't evacuate if i wanted to at this point. >> ginger: water flooding matthew heller's living room forcing him to break out his kayak.

>> i have got probably five feet of water in my lower level right now. i was walking around and got a cactus to the leg. so i decided to jump in the boat to avoid all my plants that were floating around my lower level. >> ginger: i can't emphasize the flash flood emergency threat at this moment is the biggest life threatening thing we have left with this storm. just northeast of atlanta, atlanta proper but also decater up to parts of georgia and south carolina/north carolina. you do not want to get in the car and drive in the next couple of hours. >> michael: ginger, thank you for that. let's go to victor oquendo in perry, florida. the storm made landfall as a powerful category 4 hurricane. victor, you are already seeing some of the damage. >> reporter: we are. good morning, michael. we made our way to perry from tallahassee. it's about an hour to the east. there were downed trees lining the entire route. perry is the closest city to where helene made landfall. packing wind gusts of maximum 99

miles per hour. look at all of this mangled metal, even taking this green street sign along with it. this was part of a roof from a building that's a block away. a church being used as a shelter. we checked. thankfully, rebecca, they're all doing okay. >> rebecca: 99 miles per hour winds. okay, victor. thank you. one of the biggest concerns here from the hurricane is the storm surge. whit johnson is in tampa, where it hit a record level. good morning, whit. >> whit: rebecca, good morning. you're looking at the devastating impact of that record storm surge. this is the popular bay shore boulevard, lined with businesses and homes. the water came crashing over that sea wall, stretching into the neighborhoods here. meteorologists and officials have been predicting up to eight feet of storm surge. that's exactly what we got. it was six to eight feet in some places, shattering previous records. what made matters worse, even more dangerous, was that high

tide and peak surge happened at the same time, in the middle of the night, after dark, while people were sleeping. that's exactly what we experienced at our hotel. the fire alarms started going off around midnight. people got up to see what was going on. the lobby, the first floor, was completely flooded. across the region we have seen dozens of swift water rescues, power outages, even fires associated with the flooding. as people are getting up this morning they are only starting to assess the damage. george? >> george: what a horrific ed situation. flooding has prompted rescues in atlanta. faith abubey is there. good morning, faith. >> reporter: yeah, good morning to you, george. the winds of helene have not been as much of an issue as much as the rain is dumping on this area. it's caused a creek to overflow its banks dumping a lot of water into this parking lot complex. there are several vehicles completely under water. officials tell me they had to

rescue about 25 people. nearby they had to rescue an infant, two adults stuck on top of a vehicle with rushing water around them. helene has battered the state for several hours now. at least two people have been reported dead. hundreds of thousands of people are now without power. the state remains under a state of emergency. michael? >> michael: thank you, faith. now to north carolina, which is getting hit hard this morning with a flash flooding emergency and damaging winds. this is just the beginning for them. wsoc's jonathan lowe is in asheville for us, where a mandatory evacuation order has been issued. good morning, jonathan. >> reporter: good morning to you, michael. emergency management officials here western north carolina say we have an escalating flash flood emergency that is unfolding right now. as you can see, local police and emergency management officials have blocked this major road. it's the historic biltmore village. water as far as the eye can see. just overtaking all of the

historic businesses in this area. all along major low lying areas along the two major rivers here, they are executing mandatory evacuations, trying to get residents out before the water rises too high. rebecca? >> rebecca: thanks so much for keeping us posted on your community there and please stay safe. we are going back now to ginger, who has the storm warnings, as this storm is moving inland. as you said, it is massive. ginger? >> ginger: this damage is from surge from water. the winds gusted here to 82. they were close to 100 at landfall. you see warnings from asheville back to charleston and even jacksonville. but wind alerts. it doesn't lose its tropical content. louisville, nashville could all see gusts over 40, even 50 miles per hour. let's time it out. this morning still has a lot of gusto. paducah nearly 30, memphis

getting gusts, as will nashville. going to be a blustery day. anyone who has been very wet is going to get more rain. that's where we worry about trees down and power outages. this thing sits and spins through the weekend. finally loses some of its power by monday. look at the significant flash flood risk. guys? >> george: thank you very much, ginger. the storm is creating an air travel nightmare. stephanie ramos is in at newark airport. >> reporter: good morning. hurricane helene is causing widespread travel disruptions. more than 600 flight cancellations reported nationwide already today and hundreds of delays. the largest impact is being seen in the southeast. hundreds of flights cancelled over the past two days charlotte, atlanta, tampa as helene moves through. and with multiple airports closed in florida ahead of the storm's arrival, including tampa international and st. pete clear water, we could see ripple effects for flyers heading into the weekend. travellers are urged to check with airlines for the latest flight information and monitor local weather updates. guys? >> george: okay, stephanie. thank you very much. michael?

>> michael: all right. thank you, george. the extreme rainfall could be devastating for some areas in the path of helene that have been hammered by severe flooding in recent weeks. sam is here with more on that. good morning, sam. >> sam: good morning. some headline, terrible news. we just have a flash flood emergency issued for atlanta. flash flood emergencies are rarely issued. they're only issued when there's an immediate threat to life and property. now, the city of atlanta is under one. i'll show you where it is it is. why is there so much rain? we've had two days of rain in this area already before the center of this tropical moisture gets in here. so the training rain is what we call it when the rain comes over the same area. flash flood emergency in at least ten counties here. atlanta's involved in this right now. again, that's an extremely dangerous situation. in the mountains of north carolina, we are about to see catastrophic flooding to the level these people who live there now have never seen before in their lives. why is this happening? there's the training, number one. but number two, think of all this tropical moisture making a rush through georgia from the gulf. now it sees mountains so it lifts to get over those

mountains and drops all of that rain, 13 inches of rain already before the tropical moisture gets there. when it drops this rain, it's at least six inches. same situation back into kentucky and tennessee where it has been raining so much. let's button up with that climate change stuff. look at the history here. since 1958 to 2021. it is much more likely on the eastern seaboard for these big wet systems to drop huge amounts of rain. they do not have to be hurricanes to do that. it is likely we will see this continue into the future. michael? >> michael: all right, sam. thank you for that. we'll have much more on helene throughout the morning. we're gonna turn now to the corruption scandal surrounding new york city's mayor, eric adams. he is expected to appear in court in a few hours to face federal charges. our senior investigative correspondent aaron katersky is at the courthouse for us. good morning, aaron. >> reporter: good morning to you, michael. mayor adams is due to turn himself in here at noon after federal prosecutors accused him of engaging in a long running conspiracy to take bribes.

>> how you doing, mayor adams? >> reporter: this morning eric adams defiant after he became the first sitting mayor of new york to be charged with crimes. >> there's no corruption. this is not a real case. we're going to see everybody in court. >> reporter: the five count indictment tells the story of alleged bribery, fraud and cover-ups. the mayor is accused of taking more than $100,000 in bribes including stays in these high end hotel suites and business class travel in exchange for using his influence to help turkey. >> these are bright red lines and we allege the mayor crossed them again and again for years. >> reporter: the indictment quotes a message from a turkish business man to someone working for adams. i think i can raise money for your campaign off the record. max 100k. the staffer responded, 100k? do you have a chance to transfer that here? we can't do it while eric is in turkey. when the staffer asked adams whether to move forward the indictment said adams directed the staffer to pursue the illegal scheme. the mayor's defense providing

other messages including this one from adams telling a staff member, we can't take any money from people who are not u.s. citizens. prosecutors allege a turkish official came to adams in 2021 telling him that it was his turn to help. turkey was about to open a new consulate on manhattan's east side and wanted adams to rush the fire department safety inspection despite concerns the building was not safe to occupy. a fire chief complied fearing he and others would lose their jobs if they crossed adams. >> they got out of the way and let the building open. the turkish official got what he wanted. >> reporter: for weeks several members of the adams administration have been subject to federal scrutiny, with some stepping down. now adams is facing calls from fellow democrats to do the same. >> frankly, under this constant stream of scandal, i do not know if the city will be able to even name a replacement for all of these resignations and vacancies at this point. >> reporter: adam insists he's staying put. >> we have to get back to the

business of running the city. >> reporter: when adams surrenders here, george, he will be first sitting mayor of new york to set foot in a courthouse as a criminal defendant. federal prosecutors have pledged to keep digging and hold more people accountable. >> george: okay, aaron. thanks very much. now the latest on the race for the white house. kamala harris set to make her first trip to the border since entering the race. chief white house correspondent mary bruce is on the scene in arizona. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, george. well, immigration has been one of kamala harris' greatest vulnerabilities in this race. today she's going to tackle the issue head on, making her first visit to the border since entering the race. we are told she is going to call for more resources at the border, outlining more security measures including a plan to try and combat fentanyl struggling. she's going to push for more resources and border agents. these were all things included in that bipartisan border deal donald trump urged republicans to block earlier this year. that's a point kamala harris will make here today. now donald trump we know from

polls, he's had the advantage on this issue. harris is hoping trips like this one will help her to start to close the gap. trump, for his part, mocked harris for making this visit. he said she has done the worst job in the history of any border even though of course george we have seen in recent months encounters have come down since the biden administration imposed new asylum restrictions. >> george: yes, they have come down. mary, thank you very much. coming up bryan kohberger's first hearing before a new judge. why the start date of the trial could change. >> michael: the points guy is here with the goldilocks window for booking travel. >> rebecca: and the biggest showdown in college football this weekend. georgia at alabama. we have a big surprise for one big fan. michael, this isn't going to hurt as much as the cowboys. we promise. had to get that in. let's go to ginger. >> ginger: i know sam mentioned, guys, but a flash flood emergency in atlanta is not a joke. do not get in the car and drive if you absolutely do not have

to. that is how you will get killed in this storm. flash flood emergencies are rare. the rainfall rates are upwards of 1 inch plus per hour. you're going to see additional couple inches of rain. this is that back side or the west side of what's left of the tropical storm helene. so as that comes through, we have record storm surge around tampa bay. it beat the old record by three feet. cedar key all had that with more than nine feet. we'll get some numbers from up around the bend where that eye wall came through. i'm sure those will be impressive. saint petersburg 6.3 feet of storm surge. you can see the damage behind me. we are still concerned with the on shore flow so keep that in mind. high tide is in an hour or so. one to three feet of surge. they're starting to get that wrap around. charleston, back down to jacksonville. we'll be dealing with surge the next two hours then it will be all about that inland rain.

stay with us. your local weather is coming up in 30 seconds.

>> ginger: hey, good morning, george. some of the records around tampa bay as far as the storm surge were beat by three feet. that's really hard to do but not when you have a cat 4 making landfall in the big bend. that pontoon has another boat on top of it. you say, okay, are we at a marina? no, we are four lanes across a causeway. that's where all the boats came from. this is into a home. up and down this street there are boats into homes. this is minimal damage compared to what's going on in the north. there were hundreds of water rescues. there are water rescues happening right now. the immediate threat is with the flash flood emergencies. the city of atlanta has had 4 to 6 inches of rain and additional 1 to 2 falling really fast. morganton north carolina, decater, tucker, walhala, south carolina. all of these communities are in that rare flash flood emergency. that's beyond the normal flash flood warning. i just want to make sure everyone understands the next couple of days, it's not going anywhere. we're going to have a flood threat. it sits and spins. it gets stuck with this upper

level low. it's just been dancing with it the last 24 hours. the remnants will be bringing a significant flash flood threat west of nashville. unfortunately we will be dealing with helene right through the weekend, guys. >> michael: so much damage already. so unfortunate. thank you for being there for us. we're going to turn to the idaho student murders. the suspect appeared in a new courtroom before a new judge thursday. lawyers for the defense are fighting to take the death penalty off the table. kayna whitworth is at the courthouse in boise, idaho. good morning. >> reporter: michael, good morning. we thought yesterday we might see a hearing scheduled on that exact issue, but in a shocking moment the lead defense attorney ann taylor said an expert on her team has passed away and she needs more time. >> all rise. this court is now in session. >> reporter: this morning the man accused of killing four university of idaho students appearing for the first time before a new judge some 300 miles from where the murders took place in 2022. >> i would tell you i'm happy to

be here, but why start with an untruth? >> reporter: bryan kohberger wearing a suit, tie and initially cuffed at his ankles and wrists, appearing for the first time in front of judge hipler, who granted the defense request for street clothing for this hearing and said additional closed hearings will be held to discuss his attire. >> i expect to hear from the transport deputies and the baliffs so i can make a ruling in terms of his appearance here. >> reporter: kohberger charged with four counts of first degree murder. prosecutors say they can tie him to the case using dna evidence, cell phone data and a surviving roommate witness account recalling a man clad in back with bushy eyebrows in the home the night of the phurders. the exact timing now uncertain, as the judge proposed either a may or september start. the lead defense attorney ann taylor asking for september citing a death on the defense team. >> during the course of this case, we had an expert that we were working with, and that

expert passed away. >> reporter: she also reiterated a familiar claim about the vast amount of discovery and her challenge in meeting deadlines. the judge, dubious. >> i understand there's a lot of evidence but may is not tomorrow. may is many months away. >> reporter: defense, who says kohberger is innocent, filing a motion to have the death penalty tossed. recent court documents show they added forensic pathologist specialist barbara wolf to the team well known for her work on the o.j. simpson case. judge hipler overseeing his first death penalty trial, making it clear he wants to keep things on track. >> i think you will find i'm probably more inclined to hear things more quickly than you're perhaps accustomed to in this case. >> reporter: and in order to keep things moving the judge asked for an ex-parte meeting or private meeting immediately after that hearing yesterday to learn more about how ann taylor plans to replace that expert on

her team. but, guys, it appears once again the start date for this trial is in limbo. >> rebecca: you just think about those families who are looking for some closure here. all right, kayna. thank you. coming up later the urgent safety recommendation issued for some boeing 737 planes. and coming up next, the points guy tells us what the goldilocks time is for booking top cruise deals right now. stay with us. don't mind me. i'm just the flu. i'm quite harmless, really. and when people ask, “but aren't you linked to dangerous flu complications like pneumonia, heart attack, and hospitalizations?” i just say, “but i'm just the flu.” (sniffs.) it's him! who? i'm just the flu. demand more from your flu shot. sanofi higher-dose flu vaccines are proven to provide better flu protection than standard dose flu shots in older adults. they've even been shown to better protect against flu-related complications.

most cruise ships you get entry level tab around 1,000 bucks. here's the special tip. between october and november all those luxury cruise ships go from the med -- not all but go from mediterranean to caribbean. tack on a transatlantic crossing which may not sound luxurious but when you're on one of these ed fancy ships where the ship is the destination, you get a 13 day crossing including a week in the caribbean for less than one week in europe would be. spend more time on the ship which is what many people are there to do. >> rebecca: i'm a notorious procrastinator when it comes to planning travel and i love a deal. so what do you got for me, brian? >> so now there are deals where you can spend less than $100 a day to go cruising in the caribbean. i know people, a lot of cruise ships have star link. you can work from a cruise ship. i know people who are like this -- >> rebecca: this is your work from home, on a cruise ship. >> people are doing it. >> rebecca: their bosses don't know about this? >> i was just talking to someone who said, my boss has no idea.

you can put a cute little background. [ laughter ] i highly recommend going through a travel agent if you're booking cruises. >> rebecca: really? >> you can actually go to cruise compete.com where you can put out where and when you want to go and they'll compete for your business. in a day or two they'll say, this is what i can offer you. choose two that have the best and have them negotiate for extra perks and upgrades and things like that. >> george: what else new is out there? >> the cruise lines are all really focused on building their own ports. some of the major ports in the caribbean are getting crowded and the cruise lines can't really control their passenger experience. almost all of them are coming out with new destinations where they own. so you're going to that cruise line's private island, which is much less crowded than some of the other ports. the cruise numbers are just going up and up. cruising lagged a little behind the airlines post pandemic but

now the numbers are really strong. so in general, i recommend booking your cruises way in advance. >> michael: talking about airlines. we heard about low booking for air fare. holidays are creeping up. where should we buy airplane tickets? >> for thanksgiving, luckily this week and next week in general are the best. about six weeks prior to the date. thanksgiving is a little later this year so you're not out of time. what i recommend, if the price looks good, on google flights it will tell you low, medium, high. if you are seeing anything in that medium or low, take it. even if it's high, what you can do, if the airline does end up dropping the price, track it and you can get a voucher back. keep tracking your flights after you buy it. if it drops enough, even if it's a small amount, you can get a voucher. >> rebecca: how do you get a voucher? >> depends on the airline. delta will let you rebook online. you don't even have to call or do anything. just get a voucher in your account for the difference in what the price dropped. >> michael: get some peanuts or something. [ laughter ] >> george: thank you, brian. coming up later, lady gaga's new album.
