5:31 am
"today" september 14th. >> this is today with lester holt and erica hill, live from rockefeller plaza. >> good morning. welcome to today on a saturday morning. i'm lester holt. >> i'm erica hill. thomas roberts is here this morning in for jenna and dylan dreyer is out in boulder covering the floods. you are back and nice to have you back. >> back for a full weekend while i was on vacation last weekend. >> a well-deserved vacation. >> thank you. filling in and topsy-turvy and things are back to normal. >> all is right with the world. >> i'm back to sleep deprived! something i know well. lot to cover on this saturday morning. we beginning in colorado. devastating scene out there where some neighborhoods are under water and others simply cut off from the rest of the area because the roads are impassible. or washed out. >> in some cases, just gone. here is the latest for you this morning. at least four people are confirmed dead.
5:32 am
now, there is concern that number could rise. 181 people still unaccounted for in boulder county but official there do caution, this does not mean those people are missing. what it means, in most cases, no one has been able to contact them. of course, in most areas no phone or cell service. >> rescuers are taking advantage of the break to get people as safe as possible but the worst could be on the way. heavy rains expected today and tomorrow and keep in mind, the ground is saturated and means more of those questions devastating flash floods could be triggered any moment. >> we have dylan dreyer in boulder and joe friar. >> you can see just how much water has built up in the creeks and streams highlighting the danger here in northern colorado. as you mentioned, at least four people have died. that includes a young couple, a boyfriend and girlfriend, who were both 19 years old. rescue efforts are now under way with help from the national
5:33 am
guard. helicopter rescues taking place from the isolated town of jamestown. they are plucking people from there and bringing them to the boulder airport. also ground rescues taking place in the town of lyons. both communities completely cut off by floodwaters. many there have not had power since the flood began. as of last night, we are told about 130 people were rescued from jamestown and about 190 from lyons with many more to go. now, the sheriff says every roadway that leads to the western part of the county is basically gone, which means rebuilding will take a while. for those who have been rescued, it's unclear when they are going to be able to return home to start assessing the damage and to start the cleanup. one person told us yesterday, it could be a couple of months before she is able to return to jamestown. but simply, this flood is massive and spanning 130 miles. disaster emergency is declared in 14 counties, which should tell you the size of the
5:34 am
footprint of this 100-year flood here in northern colorado. erica. >> some of the numbers do take your breath away. joe, thanks. >> lieutenant colonel mitch utter is back with me of the colorado national guard and coordinating some of the rescue efforts. colonel, good morning and thanks for being with me. >> good morning, lester. >> tell me about the number of people that need to be rescued. any clear concept how many people are trapped right now? >> yesterday, we were able to send helicopters in the air firpt. when the pilots came back to the command center, they were shocked with the number of people that they could see from the air that are completely cut off from ground rescue. we think the number is in the hundreds in the foothills west of boulder, that we have helicopters from the national guard, and from ft. carson going up there today to bring them out. >> are these folks you view in eminent danger and safe where
5:35 am
they are but can't get out? >> great yes. we don't assess them in eminent danger but in the elements for a couple of days. when those people got off the helicopter yesterday, they were tired. you can tell they had to walk through mud and their animals and dogs were tired and hungry and covered in mud and a striking sight to see them. >> we understand you're getting a bit of a break from the rain right now but the ground is saturated and wouldn't take much to push this over the edge. are you you in a narrow window to rescue those folks? >> i'll listen to the 7:00 briefing at the command post and no better what weather window we have. the meteorologist here at the post can predict down to the hour. so we are throwing everything we have from the ground and from the air at this thing today to get as many people out as possible. >> i think a lot of us were startled when we saw the number of people unaccounted for. again, this is simply a matter of record keeping.
5:36 am
they have not necessarily checked in with anyone, correct? >> that's right. my phone battery is about to die itself. a lot of people just have their phones washed away, got wet, the battery died and the power is out at their home. we think many of those people don't have a means to communicate right now but are okay. >> liste for taking a moment to talk to us. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> dylan drier also in boulder as we mentioned she has more on not only what's next for the region but a story of survival. a man trapped inside his car for hours after the car was swept down the raging waters. dylan, good morning. >> good morning, erica. it happened thursday morning when he was trapped under water for two hours and now he is sharing his horrific ordeal. >> the tide sprung me forward. when it stayed right there, the water coming up.
5:37 am
i was just thinking to god, i just said thanks, my god. >> right behind me is boulder creek and actually early friday morning, this creek did crest at about 7.9 feet. flood stage for the river is 5.5 feet. we did obviously see major flooding around this creek. right now, though, it has dropped down to about 4.5 feet which means we are not seeing major flooding any longer at this river. but we've already picked up in boulder 14.7 inches of rain since monday evening. that's about 75% of a year's worth of rain ins just one week. now we are getting a break right now and there really doesn't look like we're going to see a big chance of heavy rain in this area through the morning. although west of here we have about a 40% chance of seeing some of the showers and again, they trickle down the mountains and fill up these rivers and creeks so that's why we do end up with the flooding more locally. but again, any additional rain
5:38 am
is going to cause issues here in boulder and the surrounding area. it's all this setup with this area of low pressure that is streaming in moisture from the south. it's blocked from moving out of here by an area of high pressure to the east. so as long as that moisture streams in from the south we have the threat of those tropical like downpours which we have seen off and on this entire week. now we do still have river flood warnings and flash flood watches all across new mexico and up into this boulder area and we are looking at the chance of more rain to redevelop especially on sunday. you can see we are getting a much needed break with most of the very light showers just west of boulder but they will fill in to the west of here as we go into this afternoon. but watch what happens as we go into sunday morning. we are going to see the threat of another several inches of rain in this area and again, because the ground is already soaking wet, and because the rivers are already close to flooding, if not flooding, any additional rain is going to cause more issues here.
5:39 am
again, sunday will be the day where we could see more of that heavy rain. lester? >> all right. dylan, thanks. investigators are combing through the wreckage of the jersey shore this morning trying to pinpoint how that massive blaze started. dozens of businesses destroyed along the boardwalk. michele fransen is live in seaside heights this morning. good morning. >> well, good morning, erica. investigators will want to be getting a closer look. they will be able to do that. look behind in me here. this is the fire break, the one that worked, the new area of pier that was cut out that kept the fire from spreading further. investigators will get the access to the charred area but there are areas smouldsering this morning, not ruling anything out yet in this investigation and what they will be looking at, they're asking people to send in their cell phone video. they are honing in on areas where witnesses say this fire may have started at the frozen custard stand. they will be looking at that area. in the meantime this blaze, of course, swept through this pier.
5:40 am
this pier that had just reopened near memorial day weekend. businesses here burned to the ground nearly three dozen of them or more business owners just devastated by this latest blow to their area and, of course, this community is just been rocked since sandy and they're going to have to rebuild. they are going to be bringing counselors too this area to help them deal with the emotional toll. the financial toll and getting back and rebuilding might be tougher. in the meantime erica, investigators will be moving in this morning trying to preserve what they are considering an active scene. >> and michele, in terms of the businesses that were destroyed in this fire, they were all just basically reopened after sandy, correct? >> they were. of course memorial day weekend, the ribbon cutting ceremony and many of those same businesses that were affected by sandy now only to realize that their buildings have burned to the ground, they're going to have to start from scratch.
5:41 am
many may not have even worked out all the insurance. just whether or not they're going to have the stamina to rebuild. most of the people we talk to say yes, they will. >> michele fransen, thanks. >> thomas roberts with the other headlines including breaking news out of that meeting between the secretary of state kerry. >> such a hot story. good morning, everybody. that's right. we have learned that u.s. and russia have both reached an agreement for a framework on securing syria's chemical weapons for the latest on this, we go right now to ian williams standing by for us in geneva. ian, good morning. >> good morning to you, thomas. that's right. we do have an agreement after three days of negotiations. now john kerry called this agreement a step, he said the implementation of this agreement would have to take place by the middle of next year. this was a number of quite tight
5:42 am
deadlines. he said that by the end of -- within one week, syria must fully declare its nuclear arsenal. he said that by the beginning of november, they must give unfettered access to u.n. nuclear inspectors. now these are pretty tough deadlines. where there wasn't so much clear-cut agreement was over the use of force. kerry said that if the syrians didn't fully comply, if they dragged their feet, then this would be referred to the security council under what they call chapter 7 and under that the use of force is one option. but the russians also pointed out there are many other options and it wouldn't necessarily lead rapidly to the use of force if there was noncompliance. >> ian williams reporting from geneva thank you. tropical storm ingrid lashes mexico's gulf coast. these torrential rains have caused massive flooding near vera cruz. the national hurricane center says ingrid could become a hurricane before making landfall
5:43 am
late sunday or early monday. riot police in mexico cities for forced thousands of striking teachers out of the streets with tear gas and water cannons. demonstrators accused officers of using excessive force to clear their camp. now police say nearly two dozen protesters were arrested. teachers matched through the capital at least 15 times over the last two months protesting government plans to break unions. two climbers who were trapped for days near the peak of a 14,000 mountain in colorado are now safe. they managed to get down from the mountain on their own after being trapped by an ice storm. they had sent some desperate text messages asking for help and raging floods at the bottom of the peak made it nearly impossible for rescue crews to reach them. so united airlines saying it will honor those extremely cheap flights that it offered by accident. lucky travelers were able to snag flights for between $5 and $10 on the airline's website and if it weren't for the pesky airport and security fees the tickets would have been free altogether.
5:44 am
the airline said the issue stems from human error, not a computer glitch and it's going to honor those tickets. here's an example. houston to washington, a dulles flight would be $877 according to ui need's internet -- united internet site. you can get this for 5 and $10. in the two-hour window when they found out, we're doing christmas in maui, going here and there. >> yesterday a man had bought 12 tickets from d.c. to hawaii. this happened once before years ago when i was living in california, living in san francisco and covering technology and it happened. and the worst part about covering that story you're trying to get a statement and going i really want to buy that ticket but i probably shouldn't. journalism ethics kicked in. >> ten bucks and on the aisle seat, the meal, the luggage, that's about $800. >> it all adds up in the end. >> checked bag will get you no matter what. >> two-hour window was a sweet spot for a lot of people that booked travel. they'll honor it. >> good for you guys. >> thanks.
5:45 am
>> sure thing. >> want to get a look at the weather forecast across the country. >> let's check in with dylan drier in boulder this morning. hey, dylan. >> hey, good morning, guys. good morning, everyone. we are getting a break from the rain this morning here in boulder, but we will see some more showers redevelop especially to the west of here later on this afternoon as that moisture continues to stream in. new mexico will see pockets of heavier rain. we have a stalled front along the gulf coast where we could end up with off and on showers and thunderstorms today but across the eastern half of the country, it is absolutely gorgeous. feeling like fall with morning lows in the 50s, afternoon highs in the 70s and lots of sunshine. the northwest enjoying temperatures above average. that's a good morning. temperatures are very mild to start. 57 in san francisco, 56 in
5:46 am
sunnyvale. by this afternoon, plenty of sunshine. 68 in san jose. heads up, fall does begin next weekend. potential of showers and maybe even some thunderstorms as we get toward next weekend. forecast. erica, of course, we will have much more coming up from here in boulder in a few minutes. >> see you in a bit. thank you. there is a major environmental disaster in hawaii this morning. after more than 1,400 tons of molasses spilled out into the ocean. while it may sound harmless, the stick, sweet syrup is blamed for killing ocean life and we are warned this could just be the beginning. >> reporter: there is nothing sweet about hundreds of thousands of molasses spilling into the ocean. it's a recipe for disaster. >> there is nothing alive down there at all. everything is dead. >> tons and tons of the dead fish floating around.
5:47 am
>> reporter: this underwater video shows the damage covering the sea floor in honolulu harbor. thousands of dead fish, above and below, others gasping for air. >> this is the worst environmental damage to sea life that i have come across and it's fair to say this is a biggie, if not the biggest that we have had to confront in the state of hawaii. >> reporter: the molasses leaked while being piped between storage tanks and a ship. the shipping company, matson navigation has taken responsibility. >> we will take care what have we did. we have to minimize it and reduce it and try not to prevent any further damage to the environmental. >> reporter: the mess won't be easy to clean up. it's laying on the bottom, sucking the oxygen out of the water. dredging is an option, but officials may just let the molasses dissolve and disperse, which could cause other problems. >> while molasses is not likely a pollutant that will harm people directly, it is killing
5:48 am
the fish and that can cause an increase in sharks or bare c cue -- barracuda or eels. >> swimmers and surfers are warned to stay out of the waters near honolulu harbor or at least for the time being. a major nascar race is underway inhicago speed land but the build up to a cheating scandal than the actual sporting event. the cheating in question is concentrated on a spinout in the middle of race last week. kevin tibbles has that story. >> reporter: it's fast and loud and loudly popular. but many of nascar's fiercely loyal fans are angry. >> nascar was built, you know, mainly red-necks and integrity and all that. you know, it was just a bunch of bull crap that happened. >> reporter: he is referring to
5:49 am
last week's race in richmond, virginia. in the final moments, driver clint bowyer finally lost control. some suggest team leaders sent coded radio messages signaling him to do it. teammate brian vickers, number 55, was told to make a pit stop. radio communications here seem to suggest that vickers is confused. >> i don't understand. >> reporter: vickers is c congratulated when he pits. nascar's governing body has now ruled it was all done to allow a teammate to move ahead and win a spot in the chase. nascar's playoffs. >> stuff goes on a lot. i think that people are just more subtle about it. >> nascar leveled the largest fine in the history of the sport, $300,000 against the michael waltrip racing team and deducted points from each driver. >> there was no master plan to manipulate the race. >> reporter: owner michael waltrip says deals have always been a part of raving. >> reporter: do you consider it
5:50 am
cheating? >> not a rule saying you can't pit your car. not a rule that says you can't help a teammate. >> reporter: for nascar's legion of fans bumping is part of the excitement but many here today say the waltrip team went too far. >> yes, i do think it was cheating. >> when you're making big money, you, i guess, do whatever you need to do. >> there is bending rules and then there is breaking the rules. do you think they kind of got too close to the edge? >> i think they went over the line, yes. >> reporter: citing unfair tactics, the fans say jeff gordon who didn't make the chase would be reinstated. still as the crowds gather at the chicagoland speedway some maintain it's all part of the game. a game in which billions of dollars are at stake. for "today," kevin tibbles, joel yet, illinois. a new library is opening
5:51 am
this week in texas but one thing you won't find inside of it. books. not a single one. janet explains. >> reporter: when you're given a website, take a look what could be the library of the future. san antonio's bexar county they have titles and not a hard cover or paper back in sight. >> it's more streamlined and i think more user-friendly. >> reporter: what some call the library of the future. everything can be checked out as a digital download. >> we grew up borrowing and our kids did too going to the library once a week. it's just the library of today. >> reporter: called the bibliotech you don't have to come in. books can be downloaded at home. those that don't own a reader, 600 for loan and 200 preloaded tablets for children. the devices turn off if they are not returned. the transition from paper to

pixels isn't without some growing pains. hundreds of titles not available from digital licensing from best sellers to old classics. yet this is a big money saver. it was built and stocked with ebooks for 2.5 million dlaers and a fraction of the cost of a traditional library. >> we are paying more for ebooks than hard cover books but on the other side i'm not double stocking and never lose it and never wear out on me. >> reporter: he is among those that miss holding a hardback and physically turning a page. in the digital domain, brousing books like this. >> i don't think we will go digital but i think this is a portion of the future for libraries. >> redefining what a library is without paper or print. >> it's pretty exciting. >> a new take there. still to come, encouraging news of a presurgery drug that

6:02 am
the fda has proofed to given to patients before surgery. doctors hope using drugs earlier could help shrink tumors and making them easier to remove. in some cases, it could mean video game removal of the full breast. >> it allows us to have choices for these women. so that not everyone needs to have a mastectomy. >> reporter: the drug helps block a protein called her2 and believed to play a role in at many of a quarter of all cases. they estimate 15,000 able to use it. genentech which makes the drug says women in its study used perjeta as a presurgical treatment for 12 weeks, 39% found their cancer came undetectable. among those who didn't use it, only 21% achieved that result. the move toward fda approval reflects the agency's push for faster action on potentially life saving treatments. >> a lot of the drugs take a
6:03 am
long time to get approved and with this newer approach, it is possibly that the drugs will come online faster. >> reporter: the drug maker now is in evidence of possible side effects, including an increased rate of heart problems, but an fda panel says that's outweighed by the possibility of pushing survival rates higher. for "today," john yang, nbc news, chicago. let's get a check with the forecast with dylan who is in boulder this morning. >> good morning, lester. we are keeping an eye out for some rain in this area, especially on sunday, as that could just enhance the fears of flooding that we are already seeing in this area. but another region that is going to possibly deal with some flooding is in southern texas, down near brownsville, texas, where tropical storm ingrid could bring several inches of rain the next 48 hours. the tropical storm developed friday in the gulf of mexico and it is moving to the northeast at
6:04 am
about 3 miles per hour with maximum winds right now up to around 60 miles per hour. i want to point out that as we go into next tuesday and wednesday, some of the remnants of ingrid could perhaps bring more rainfall into the southern rockies so we will have to keep the eye out for a possibility of that happening as we go into the middle of next week. today, though, we will see off and on showers across the rockies, but heavier morning. i'm anthony slaughter. we have lots of fog and cloud cover. drizzle at the golden gate bridge. overall temperatures mild. 67 in san francisco, mild off to the east and south today with a few low 80s there. fall begins next weekend. with that we're talking about the potential for some showers as early as friday. have a good one.

6:09 am
warren jeffs was once one of the fbi's ten most wanted for crimes he committed while leading the fundamentalalist group of. he forced women into young marriages as young as age 12. one woman who was once part of that church fought back and became one of the faces of the resistance and testifying against her former leader and opening the public's eyes to the plight of these women. today, rebecca is speaking out. her book is "the witness wore red." the 19th wife who brought polygamist cult leader to justice. nice to have you with us. >> nice to be here. >> the 19th wife, the title, when you were 19 years old, you were the 19th wife of the 85-year-old leader. >> yes. >> of that sect in which you were raised. >> yes. >> when you were told you had to marry that man, what was your reaction? >> you know, in a society like this, what is normal, what is taught to the girls is one day they will grow up and be found
6:10 am
worthy to marry a priested man regardless of the age. polygamy is taught and it's taught holy. on the one hand, i knew it was my duty but, on the other hand, i was overwhelmed and horrified at what relate was facing. >> and you were very young, too. i mean, this isn't -- you grew up knowing that this was what you wanted to strive for and, yet, there was so much about what a marriage entails, especially aspects of the wedding night you knew nothing about that young girls were not educated about. all throughout this, though, you had your reservations, it seems, in reading your book. where did some of that doubt come from for you? >> i think for as long as i can remember, there was some voice inside that just different things would come up saying something is not right here. i think everybody has that voice as, you know, my life, the details are different, but everybody has dealt with that. and so as time went on and i got older and more and more things happened, that voice just got
6:11 am

6:32 am
or cell service. >> right now, rescuers are taking advantage as we mentioned of that quite to get as many people to safety as possible. the worst we are werned could be on the rain because heavy rains are expected today and tomorrow and means potential for more devastating flash floods. >> we have plenty of coverage in colorado this morning. we begin with joe fryer who is in boulder. >> reporter: good morning. with no rage right now the creek is continuing to dropping but still a dangerous situation in colorado. still too early to say exactly how many lives may have been lost and how many homes destroyed. it will take time to assess that. for now, the focus is on the rescue. heavy rains and floods stretching roughly 130 miles can submerge homes and isolate towns with roads offering no way in or out, rescuers are getting creative and flying over swollen rivers by zip line and
6:33 am
navigating brand-new bodies of water by boat, and delivering families to safety by helicopter. >> we had two ways in to the house. we had two driveways, and they are just totally gone. >> reporter: the national guard is working to pluck stranded residents from water-locked jamestown and air-lifting them and their pets to the boulder airport. >> i have no idea when we will get back into jamestown. they said maybe a couple of months even. >> reporter: it's a similar scene in the town of lyons where as many as 2,500 people need to be rescued by extra high vehicles. but as this video from a fire truck in longmont shows, even the tallest rig strug lged through the streets and they have lost every roadway leading to the western part of the county. >> the roadways aren't simply blocked by mudslides or rock slides or debris.
6:34 am
the roadways are, in fact, in many, many places completely gone. >> reporter: that is why so many, including this family of seven, now call an evacuation shelter home. they haven't seen their house since escaping during the storm. >> we live here. and we just got to get through it. in the end, we just have each other. that's all we have. >> reporter: throughout flood ravaged colorado, the daring rescues are merely step one. it's the rebuilding that will offer challenges for months to come. the number of people considered unaccounted for has risen in the past day from 80 to 172 to 181. the hope is that that number will start to drop as rescue crews access those stranded towns. lester. >> joe, thanks for the update. dylan dreyer is also in boulder this morning with more on what is next for the region and a remarkable story of survival. a man who was trapped inside of his car for hours after it was
6:35 am
stuck upside down in those raging waters. you can see that picture there. dylan joins us now with more. good morning, dylan. >> reporter: good morning, erica. it happened thursday morning. two hours, he was trapped in his car under water. but now he lives to tell about his horrific story. after crews made this dramatic rescue in colorado this week, they had no idea there was one more person trapped below these raging floodwaters. a man was pinned in his car, which had been submerged from more than two hours on thursday morning. remarkably, he is okay, and now sharing his story with his family by his side. >> the car was going forward so when it stayed right there, the water coming up. >> reporter: as the water rushed into his car, rory ortiz was left with a small space of room to breathe. >> all in my head. can feel right there in that space. so i had a way, i had to pray.
6:36 am
>> reporter: firefighters who reconnected with ortiz at the hospital were stunned. >> for him to be able to find that one air pocket inside the car was amazing. and to be able to -- the air to last that long is nothing short of a miracle. >> reporter: a remarkable story of survival that ortiz, himself, prayed for. >> i just say, thanks, god. i was singing to glory for god, my god. >> reporter: truly an incredible story. right now, i am standing along the banks of boulder creek which, right now, is below flood stage. it did crest at nearly major flood stage early friday morning, but it has been receding ever since. keep in mind boulder, colorado has picked up 14.7 inches of rainfall since monday evening. that is almost 75% of its total yearly rainfall picked up in less than just one week.
6:37 am
so with the ground saturated, with still three rivers in the area at major flood stage, any additional rainfall is going to pose more problems. we have got this area of low pressure that will continue to stay in place. meaning moisture is coming in from the south and off and on heavy down pours are still possible. not so much this morning but later on this afternoon to the west of here in the mountains, so keep in mind, it does trickle down the mountains into the creeks and rivers in the foothills of those mountains. so we are still going to see the threat of some showers today. but a better chance of heavy rain tomorrow and perhaps another 2 to 3 inches of rainfall as we continue through the rest of the week end. erica. >> a tough forecast. thanks. for people living along the jersey shore the disbelief is still settling in less than a year after recovering from sandy, they must rebuild again from an awful fire that destroyed their iconic boardwalk and businesses. but their resolve is incredibly strong. michelle franzen is live in

6:39 am
crews created a fire break carving out a section of the boardwalk. but embers skipped over that line in the sand. but they tried again a block away and the fire break held. it's only been several months since businesses reopened on the pier. the promise of bouncing back now up in flames. >> it's just sad that it's another page gone. >> sadness and shock mixed with the resolve to build again. >> seaside is strong. we've been through so much, we have to resolve. >> a lot of layers of change here. businesses will hold a roundtable to see how they can move forward financially and economically. emotionally, the toll taking its toll. counselors are expected to be brought in as well for people who need to cope. >> michelle franzen, thanks very much. >> thomas roberts is here with the other top stories. including breaking news on a bus
