7:02 am
jim miklaszewski. >> reporter: at least one high-ranking american military official was killed in in attack, sudden attack at this training base for afghan soldiers in kabul. according to official, the americans along with german allies had gathers with afghans at this base for some kind of event or meeting when suddenly, one of the afghan soldiers, at least somebody dressed like an afghan soldier opened fire with an automatic weapon. as many as 12 were seriously wounded. right now, the death toll stands at one senior high-ranking military official killed. according to officials we're talking about here at the pentagon, some of the wounds are so severe that that death toll is likely to rise. >> i have to ask you. there was a time we were talking about the insider attacks all the time. it seemed like it was a downward trend.
7:03 am
this is a disturbing tre ining different direction. >> reporter: there were steps taken to put the americans in a safer position when working side by side with armed afghan soldiers. and that did lower the death toll some what. but, you know, working side by side with armed afghan military right now is absolutely critical to the u.s. strategy. in fact, it is the strategy going forward to work with armed afghan military to train them and advise them and there is no way that -- according to military official, that you can guard against this kind of attack at all times an unfortunate incident. according to a senior official here this one is really bad. >> jim miklaszewski, thank you. breaking news on the ebola crisis as well. the specially equipped plane bringing back the volunteer just refueled in bangor, maine, it's
7:04 am
now on the way to atlanta. kate snow is standing by at emory university hospital. >> reporter: the big question is, will nancy reibold walk into the facility behind me? we expect an ambulance motorcade. we're learning this morning more about the experimental drug treatment that nancy and kent brantly, who is being treated here, have had that may have saved their lives. this morning, nancy will arrive at emory hospital in the fight for her life. the 59-year-old american mother contracted ebola. she has been taking an experimental medication. >> her appetite has slightly come back. as a matter of fact, i talked to
7:05 am
her husband. she asked for her favorite liberian meal. >> reporter: the virus was ravaging her body. so three doses of an experimental medicine were flown to liberia and the two americans decided to try the treatment that had previously been used on monkeys. brantly told colleagues he was dying. his wife asked friends to drop everything and pray. after his first dose of medicine, he made a remarkable improvement. what sit that's working? >> when you and i are infected with any virus, we make anti-bodies for the virus. that kills it. these are special aent bodies just for ebola. >> reporter: once at emory,
7:06 am
they'll each have a room in a special isolation unit. lab tests are done inside. any contaminated materials are cleaned of virus and incinerated. while there are no other confirmed cases in the u.s. right now, hospitals are on edge. on monday, a man with a fever was put in isolation at new york's mount sinai hospital. this morning, we expect nancy's son, jeremy, to be here to greet her. he says the first thing he's going to say to her is i love you, followed by encouragement for her. we know god is good, we trust him, he said. >> nice to have her back in the country. thank you. >> earlier this morning, we talked to president obama's national security adviser. i began by asking if u.s. officials are confident that
7:07 am
this can be contained to africa. >> we are actively collaborating with our african partners in west africa to help them contain and address this challenge. we have surged up to 50 workers from the centers for disease control and our disaster response teams. we are actively helping them to detect and contain and manage the outbreak. the risk to americans is deemed by the centers for disease control to be very low. and that is because of the nature of the transmission and the fact that it is largely contained now in the west african region. this is not a disease that can be communicated by sneezing or airborne or food or water. it requires a degree of intimate contact. and it requires a person to be actively symptomatic. to be contagious. and we have the protocols in this country to manage any isolate any patient who may present with those symptoms of the disease.
7:08 am
>> i want to move on to the after leaders summit for which you are appears today. but let's turn to the news of the day. we just learned that israel and gaza have agreed to a temporary truce, this cease-fire. but then again we've seen them collapse within minutes or hours in the last couple of weeks. how confident are you that this time it's different and the cease-fire will hold? >> well, we think it's very important that it holds because there's been a great deal of suffering in israel and in gaza. and our hearts go out to the people of israel who suffered rocket attacks and tunnel attacks and of course the horrific suffering in gaza. so we are hopeful but mindful of the record that these cease-fires haven't held for very long in the past. we think it's very important both sides remain committed to it. and more importantly that they use this opportunity of the 72-hour cease-fire to begin the negotiations that we have been working so energetically through secretary kerry, president obama, and others to get off the
7:09 am
ground so that the underlying causes of the conflict in gaza can be addressed at the negotiating table. >> i mentioned this african leaders summit. all of these leaders coming to washington in an unprecedented way. part of this is to encourage business leaders in the u.s. to invest there in africa. but then we hear about the ebola virus. does that make it harder to sell -- of course it's just confine topd one region, but does it make it harder to sell the u.s. businesses that africa is ready for their investment? >> well, what makes this is a unique occasion is that first of all to start, we've never had a gathering of up to 50 african heads of state with the american president in history. and we are bringing together business leaders and society leaders, faith leaders all who understand the importance and potential of africa. today's event is truly unique because we have some of america's leading ceos, some of africa's leading ceos, all of whom understand, as do
7:10 am
many of our competitors overseas, that africa presents an extraordinary opportunity for trade and investment. and as we've seen instances of disease and obviously corruption remains a challenge, but what is changing is that african people and african businesses and african governments are poised to grow and to thrive. six of the ten fastest growing countries in the world are in africa. and american business leaders recognize that potential. african business leaders are eager to partner with their american counterparts and this poses an unprecedented opportunity to take that collaboration to a new level. >> well, national security adviser susan rice, it's great to have you with us. thank you. meantime, al you're following dangerous flooding. expecting more today? >> yes. take a look and a listen at this. >> get out! get out! >> this is just north of las vegas.

7:15 am
with if two wildfires burng here this morning, one is 20% contained, the over 0% contained. crews say they're making progress. the rain today will help. they're concerned about thunderstorms. the crews will be doing all they can to build the containment lines to snuff out remaining flames. >> miguel almaguer, thank you. natalie is here with a scare over great britain. >> fighter jets had to scramble to escort qatar airlines flight after a report of a possible device on the plane. armed police took the man off the plane with handcuffs. four people are recovering this morning, injured during severe turbulence on a flight over florida. the flight was headed from ft. lauderdale to asheville, north carolina, when it hit rough air

7:17 am
water was in the boat. and i rel lay couldn't steer well or maneuver. >> reporter: stranded and sinking 12 miles from the nearest shore, the eight passengers did the only thing they could. >> we knew it was going to go down, so we started getting anything we really needed like life jackets. i put my fins on and we all jumped in the water and the boat went over. >> reporter: they then detached three kayaks from the boat and tied them together, and activated a beacon that told teams of their distress and location. >> once we received the distress alert, we immediately launched a helicopter. >> reporter: hovering helicopters managed to grab the passengers from the sea. all eight escaped injury and now have the ultimate home video to prove it. >> it could have been bad. it really could have. you have to have a lot of respect for that ocean. >> and fortunately, a happy ending there. well, you know, you should not

7:32 am
we begin with the recently fired director of the ohio state university marching band. he'll talk to us live if a moment. first, the investigation that the school says exposed sexually explicit and hazing rituals within the band. here's kevin tibbles. >> reporter: from superman soaring to t-rexs chomping. the ohio state marching band's fantastic formations earned it the nickname the best damn band in the land. but now, band director jonathan waters is out of a job, following the university's two-month investigation into the band's culture. in a statement late monday, an osu spokesman said the investigation revealed an environment conducive to sexual harassment. that waters was aware or reasonably should have known
7:33 am
about this culture and failed to eliminate it. >> it's pretty damning stuff. >> reporter: among the findings? written x-rated quizzes for new band members with questions like how many people have you had sex with. x-rated trips for band members. and sexually explicit nicknames. printed in direct ris and printed on t-shirts. waters played with the band in the '90s and in 2012 became the school's youngest band director. his attorney says waters started anti-sexual harassment and alcohol programs long before the university started its investigation. >> jon experienced inappropriate conduct when he was a rookie in the tuba section. as marching band director, he set out on his own to eradicate inappropriate behavior. >> reporter: as waters fights to clear his name, the band promises to march and play on. >> and jonathan waters is with us now. good morning. good to see you. >> good morning. >> let me ask the basic
7:34 am
question. do you feel scapegoated here, that you're being blamed for what amounts to apparently decades of a tradition, a culture within the band? >> indeed, this is an entrenched culture that dates back to the 1930s. you know, we have taken steps to eliminate activities in the band. and what is so shocking by this report is its inaccuracy and its one-sided nature. and so that's really what we're here to do today is to get the message out. that this report was one-sided. and i'm here to stand up for our students. >> let's talk about the report. it lays out inappropriate practices, sexually explicit names for band members. can't repeat them here. new band members ordered to simulate sex acts. newcomers to run down the bus aisles while upper classmen try to tear off their clothes. and questions about fell
7:35 am
bandmates. very, very sexual. were you aware of those practices? >> i was aware and i took great steps to eliminate them. we have eliminated all of those things. we've eliminated the midnight ramp. we have eliminated these rookie quizzes. let me be very clear that harassment of any type is not tolerated and should not be tolerated. and we have, as a staff, and as leadership team, taken steps to eliminate those behaviors. >> you know what the school says, though, that a lot of these changes like getting rid of the midnight ramp where they run out in their underwear. or sometimes naked and perform a ritual on the field. they say you didn't change that until after this investigation started. if you didn't like this culture which you say dates back decades, why didn't you end it on your first day? >> the culture in our band is entrenched. and because it's entrenched, it doesn't turn on a dime. so on my first day i did, indeed, engage with our leadership and our leadership team in trying to shape that
7:36 am
culture and trying to eliminate poor behaviors. we have instituted a wonderful program of leadership training for our student leaders as well as sex abuse training and alcohol abuse training. all of these trainings that we have instituted in our band have made it truly a better place since i've been the director. >> let me just press you on that. you're saying, it doesn't changeover night. it changes over time. you wanted change to come from within. why? you're the band director. i mean, this is nonsense, some of this. why don't you go in and say it's over. >> i have. i have, indeed. in fact, this report cites things that happened before my leadership of the band. >> you were assistant band director for ten years though. >> i was. and i did move to change those behaviors. but i couldn't effect total policy at that time. when i was director i assure you that we moved very quickly to take steps to complete these things. and i'm just very disappointed
7:37 am
that we didn't get a chance to finish that job. you know, all of our wonderful students, the message that i want to bring is the wonderful students who've marched in that band, the students who have sacrificed and given to the university, the alums who have given of their time, and the fans, they know that that report is flawed. they understand because as they read this report, they say this is not the band we know. >> i should mention you have a lot of support in this town. people have signed petitions. a lot of the former band members and current band members say they were not talked to for this report. they support you. what is your next step? will you sue the university to get your job back? you said this was your dream job. >> this was my dream job. i love ohio state. i love those students. i'm here to set the record straight. i'm here to point out the fact that we have taken tremendous steps to improve the culture and move the band forward. let me just put it in terms of this. you see the great performances on the field. you see the wonderful things
7:38 am
that the band has done. and that does not happen without an atmosphere of respect, camaraderie, discipline. all of those wonderful things that we see on the field were also happening in the hearts and souls of our band members. and that was done as a group effort. >> got to let you go, but to clear it up, will you try to get your job back? >> you know, i love ohio state and i would love an opportunity to work with the university to improve the culture. >> jonathan waters, thank you for your time. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> send it over to al for the weather. thank you so much. let's see what we've got for you as we look at the week ahead. above normal temperatures here in the east. wet weather in new england to the southwest. below normal temperatures along the west coast. then for a midweek period, above normal for the central plains into the southeast. it stays cool also along the great lakes. and above normal temperatures in the southeast.
7:39 am
going to be wet down into florida. and the below normal temperatures continue out west. . the reason why we're seeing below average temperatures, cloud cover and yes rare august rain falling in parts of the bay area. most of this morning around the tri-valley and up tards contra costa county. heading into livermore, light showers there around danville, slowly heading off towards the south and east. today, highs in the 80s. 60s to near 70 around san francisco. slight chance of an isolated thundershower north of santa rosa. mid-80s closer to pleasanton. warm up, low 90s back in the tri-valley beginning tomorrow. >> that's your latest weather. still ahead on "trending," a heart warmer. what taylor swift did to brighten one boy's day. but up next, would you want this flying on your wedding day? the buzz surrounding the hot new wedding accessory. that's right, the drone. right after this.

7:42 am
my doctor told me about eliquis for three important reasons. one, in a clinical trial eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three, unlike warfarin there's no routine blood testing. [ male announcer ] don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. those three important reasons are why i'm shooting for something better. eliquis.

back now at 7:44 with the latest way to remember your wedding day. more couples are now turning to drones for help. kerry sanders joins us from downtown miami with more. kerry, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, carson. i'm inside the alfred dupont building. this location is a popular venue for people to have weddings. enter the drones. yes, it can be a little noisy indoors, but outdoors not so much. as you see the drone going up, on board there's a camera. and that camera can provide a unique angle that folks getting married say they must have as an ever lasting memory for the wedding album. it's all the rage. spectacular drone images posted on youtube. the uncommon angles intoxicating to an amateur audience that has only seen footage like this in the movies. last week martha stewart posted
7:45 am
pictures from her drone. photos of her new york estate. with drones costing as little as $80, it was only a matter of time before they started making the guest list. for today's newlyweds, capturing that special day like this is about being different and cutting edge. >> it's neat we have one of a kind photos from our wedding day that no one else has had before. >> reporter: new york democratic congressman shawn maloney hired a drone photographer for his wedding recently. an especially glaring problem because the faa says commercial drone photography is illegal and the congressman sits on the committee. which would allow friends to take pictures from his drone at no charge. >> the faa has been dragging their feet on this. the more they wait, the more people are flying without rules. >> reporter: a drone literally
7:46 am
crashed a wedding when a photographer flying a drone lost control leading to a painful bump and a minor cut to the groom. yet despite the risks, wedding photographers say increasingly they're hearing requests for drones. but veteran photographer carl bies says the weddings he shoots is about respect and not turning it into a flying circus. >> the biggest compliment is they don't remember me photographing their wedding. i think having a drone there would leave a mark on people remembering that one sound of the drone buzzing above. >> reporter: the faa reports increasingly that they're hearing from commercial passenger pilots about drones that are in or near their flight path, and that is a safety concern. how is it we're able to fly a drone here this morning? it's because we're indoors. and this air space here is not controlled by the faa.

8:12 am
>> i don't like the name of the collection. >> they're trying to have a sense of humor about it, but maybe more category than just those two. >> those campaigns that make you think. kind of edgy. >> you know, i think you should empower women. how about the board room shoe. >> kenneth cole shoes bring awareness to aids and homelessness. not finding a husband. >> maybe they'll add more categories. >> ceo shoes. >> it's a big day. scientists are finally revealing the key to happiness. are you ready? >> yes. >> i can actually show it to you. here it is. sorry. so researchers at university college london -- that's right -- use this math equation to get the answer. >> i feel great. >> here's what it means. the key to happiness is low

8:17 am
it's charming. >> i understand you are a big fan of the franchise. obviously mikey as well. did you have to fight to get cast in this movie. >> well, i went in for a meeting and it was valentine's day. i stayed for five hours to prove i was a superfan. then i sent out a bunch of e-mails saying i understand if you cast someone else, but know i'm still going to be at the first day midnight showing because it's going to be the best ever. >> you should have sent them pizza. >> man, where were you when i was trying to get this movie? >> there you are in this movie. you play april the news reporter covering the story of a lifetime. question to you, the director said he's looking for someone who is obviously beautiful and capable, but not just a traditional damsel in distress. something that more than meets the eye.
8:18 am
>> he likes to say that about me because that's the transformers theme song. but it's important for him not to sexualize april at all or exploit her or do gratuitous shots especially with me in the character. the point of the movie is she's saying what i'm seeing is real. you've got to take my story seriously. she's aspiring to do bigger things. we didn't want to undercut that. >> obviously there are huge fans of this franchise. >> yes. >> they can be very outspoken and vocal. some of them were already criticizing the reboot of this before it was out. you had some choice words for them recently. >> i did. but you cannot say them on the show. >> but i can paraphrase. you said buzz off. >> something like that. yeah. i mean, i was asked about the fans -- they're not fans, they're haters really. that say it's ruining my childhood. i said you know what? how much money did these movies make, obviously these people go
8:19 am
see these movies and they're going to see this one. if you don't like it, then, you know, go have a steak or whatever you say. i don't know. >> again, your earlier words were more to the point. >> but i know better than to say that on this show. >> thank you. tell me about what's going on at home. you've got two little boys with your husband brian green. they keep you busy all the time? >> yeah. my oldest is not two years old. and my baby is turning six months here. is this your first? >> it is. >> so you have no idea and you probably haven't been sleeping because you're pregnant and you're uncomfortable. you're never going to sleep again. so congratulations. >> i thought i was going to do nothing but rest from here on out. >> you have no idea what you're in for. >> are you trying to make me cry? >> i know it's easy to do right now because you're so close. but we're exhausted but it's fun and amazing and they're both special boys.
8:20 am
i'm lucky. >> you were about two weeks pregnant when you first started doing this role. >> well, i got pregnant ten days in. >> did you do your stunts while you were pregnant? >> i did. i tried to do most of them. there were some i couldn't do like wire work because it's a legal issue. i had an amazing stunt woman who's much more talented than me at that. she did it when i needed her to. but i tried. oh, there's video of me doing a stunt. >> there you are. while pregnant. >> there's a fan blowing my hair and i'm like, rafael no! >> a little preview of teenage mutant ninja turtles. >> it's so much better than that. >> megan fox, a delight. i'm going to go cry now. >> okay. >> we'll send it to carson. >> thank you very much. now to our special series this is 50 as we celebrate hoda's mild stone birthday. our new survey found out that more than 60% of single people in their 50s are either currently dating or they're considering it.
8:21 am
hoda is an expert on that. >> how do you know? dating is weird at any age, but it gets extra daunting when you hit the big 5-0 milestone. the pool changes, it gets smaller. i decided to sit down with a group of women. some divorced, some never married. we wanted to have a candid conversation about the ups and downs and challenges of finding a companion. take a look. meet the single ladies all ready to play the dating game. >> allison. >> susan. >> ivy. >> joyce. >> laurie. >> six women with six journeys all navigating the world of relationship and love. raise your hand if you enjoy dating. >> one up, one down. >> sometimes. describe what it is like to date in your 50s. >> it's really starting over and starting at a different place.
8:22 am
>> at a certain age, for the women it dries up -- the pickings dry up. the men in the same age group want to date the younger women. and the men older than me that might want to date me are, you know, dead. >> sometimes for this group it's a matter of taking the plunge. >> it does take courage, doesn't it, to get back in there? because we're used to our lives. >> it's a scary experience to set yourself up for rejection again. >> i can't help but be myself on dates now. i don't know how to go back to that giggling girl that didn't know what she wanted or what she was interested in and just wanted to be liked by the best looking guy. >> i'll dare myself to flirt. >> it's hard sometimes. >> it is, but you know what? when you have nothing to lose, it's just kind of fun. >> but to get there, it may mean leaving that comfort zone. i've talked myself out of going out to anything sometimes because you're like, i can't. i have to put the dress on and
8:23 am
meet someone. and i would think to myself i know who i'm going to meet in my apartment watching a rerun of "law & order." nobody. i don't know who i'm going to meet if i step out the door. and sometimes it's just showing up. isn't it? sometimes you have to put yourself back in the game. but that takes confidence. >> sometimes i'll feel very positive and optimistic and i'll go online or i'll meet someone at a party and that will go along okay. and then i'll get discouraged and go back into hiding. >> sometimes a little expert advice goes a long way. >> you can meet men everywhere and anywhere. >> meeting dating coach bobby palmer. >> really focus on you and what you have to offer and what you want to give and what a great relationship looks like and feels like to you. every date you go on is not going to be magical. you can go on a lot of dates before you find the one. >> we asked bobby to run a mini
8:24 am
boot camp to help our women. >> taking responsibility for your actions and outcomes. >> when it was finally time for susan's big date, she was able to use some of her new boot camp skills. >> it's just about having fun with people and sharing. >> bobby weighed in working with susan to negotiate the nuances of scoring a successful date. >> you know, the third principle is taking responsibility for your actions and outcomes. and you nailed it. nailed it. >> well, it was fun. >> for all the women it's a delicate balance of caution and confidence. what advice do you have about finding love the second or third time around? >> this is the best time in life to find love. we know ourselves so much better. >> it's a game that's well worth playing and winning. >> instead of waiting to be chosen, i remind myself now that i'm doing the choosing. >> yes.
8:25 am
you get to choose. >> it's about you. how do you feel when they say certain things? do you feel safe? do you feel adore? how do you feel? it's about deciding how they make you feel. >> i got to tell you, sitting down with those women was so empowering. you saw these people putting themselves out there and it is hard. >> she said it right. it's about you. you have to feel good about yourself to go out in a setting of 50-plus. however the actions are coming in from the guys, you have to take it with confidence. >> and remember when you had past relationships that were crummy, you can't take it out on the guys you're meeting. sometimes you're like you're probably just like he was or they were. >> and it helps to be hot like hoda. you can't have any problems. >> just wear a bikini. >> they did say one of the myths is -- and this is what bobby said -- men in their 50s or older only want 20-somethings. that's what you see.
8:26 am
but statistics don't bear that out. so i said, please, these guys aren't a very good morning to you. it is 8:26. i'm laura garcia-cannon. a missing sailor whose salmon bo boat washed ashore is now in hiding. yesterday, his fishing boat ran aground along the san francisco shoreline. now crews are trying to haul away a boat that's been spilling fuel for more than 24 hours. traffic's flowing nicely and we had a backup at 580 and el charo, or just before you get to el charo. things are starting to get better now. we had an earlier crash, which has cleared over the last 20 minutes. it happened and then it cleared. that's not bad for traffic tuesday around the dublin interchange.

8:57 am
this morning and the north bay. and through this afternoon, partly cloudy skies around san jose, where we'll see 80s, closer to 70 into san francisco, and in the north bay, highs into the mid-70s. slight chance of an afternoon thunderstorm north of santa rosa and still scattered showers around the tri-valley. skies clear later tomorrow. 90s coming back to the tri-valley later this week. toot update in 30 minutes.
9:00 am
from nbc news, this is "today's take" with al roker, natalie morales, willie geist, and tamron hall live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> savannah guthrie just blew through there. >> i'm impressed she is sprint still. >> in heels. goodness. >> also impressive, our crowd. august 5th, 2014. i'm al along with natalie and tamron. willie is off. >> welcome back. >> thank you very much. did you see "guardians of the gala galaxy." it made $94 million this weekend. >> it's so fun. lots of '80s references. great stuff for the parents, not just the kids. >> i love that perfect combo
9:01 am
when it's funny for the kids but adults get it too. >> chris pratt, he just blew that up. he was amazing. >> and everyone's popping up in the movie, a lot of celebrities in this. >> you will not recognize bradley cooper's voice. he plays a raccoon, but he's unbelievable. so great. it's fantastic. anyway, must go see. meanwhile, a big story we're also talking about the latest on the ebola virus. the latest victim nancy writebol is soon to arrive at emory hospital in atlanta. her plane briefly stopping in maine there for a refuel. and the hospital already treating as you know dr. kent brantly. he's the other american victim. writebol and brantly have received doses of an experimental medication never before used on humans and doctors are calling their progress miraculous because of
9:02 am
this vaccine that they had. meantime, little bit of a scare here in new york yesterday. a man with a high fever had recently travelled to west africa, returned to new york and went to the hospital. he had signs of gastrointestinal disorder and a high fever. so he went to new york's mt. sinai hospital and they immediately started treating him and raised concerns because of where he traveled. but they said it's unlikely he has ebola. they feel they don't believe it's actually the ebola virus. but it is raising concerns and questions. of course the cdc saying here are the things you need to watch out for. telling people what the symptoms are. >> and also putting it into realistic perspective. you can have symptoms but they don't want people to believe everything that fits into what you've heard, fever, upset stomach. >> a transmission is very
9:03 am
difficult. >> bodily fluid. >> you can't just catch it by touching somebody. >> it's not airborne. it's exchanged through bodily fluids. i think matt lauer said we idolize athletes, but researchers on the forefront of creating this serum, for example, that we're just learning about and other infectious diseases, they are 24/7 looking at ways to cure these deadly diseases that affect the globe. it's so intriguing. >> sometimes putting their own lives on the line. >> and people like nancy writebol who went there as a missionary and was basically helping clean and decontaminate the areas that are effected. and dr. brantly there to treat the patients. they really are heroes and deserve the best care and treatment which they're getting now. >> the other thing, there's an amazing piece of video. let's just roll it. i want you to hear this from the top. there's a flash flood in las
9:04 am
vegas. >> get out! get out! >> about four inches of rainfall. >> it's like a river. >> it turns this road into -- >> look at the guy. >> you see from the nearby base get out of his car. and another group of airmen rescue folks out of this prius. you see the crown vic. that prius really amazing stuff. they had flash floods in southern california yesterday. one person was killed. in the meantime, we've got these wildfires going on continuing out west. a state of emergency, 14 major wildfires going on at the same time. air national guard pilots captured that scene above the gulch fire. and there's one whole town that is getting ready that's on alert to evacuate in northern california. but they're still worried about this. because lightning strikes could
9:05 am
set off more wildfires. as many of these have been set off by lightning strikes. >> we see flash flooding often, but such a tremendous force of power. you wonder how much time they had. no time. >> three inches of water is enough to knock you off your feet. a foot of water is enough to move a car. >> and people think they're in suvs and they can get through that. you really can't. >> that's why it's turn around, don't drown. this became a raging river in a matter of about five minutes. >> another story that a lot of people are reacting to. ohio state university, their amazing band considered by all accounts one of the best college bands in the country. i think they might be the best. you know, there's a controversy hovering over the band after allegations that students were
9:06 am
hazed, sexual harassment amongst band members. the band's director was let go, jonathan waters. he's now the former band director. he was fired to weeks ago after an investigation found a culture of harassment and alcohol abuse. students mimic sex acts. just a laundry list of things as a parent it's your worst nightmare. you send your kid to college and this happens. anyway, savannah spoke to waters on why he did not stop this culture. here's what he said. >> and because it's entrenched it doesn't turn on a dime. and so on this first day, i did, indeed, engage with our leadership and our leadership team in trying to shape that culture and trying to eliminate poor behaviors. we instituted a wonderful program of leadership training for our student leaders as well
9:07 am
as sex abuse training and alcohol abuse training. all of these trainings that have instituted in our band has made it truly a better place since i've been director. >> in a statement late monday, a spokesperson said the investigation said waters was aware or should have known about the culture but failed to eliminate it. he was a band member back in the day. then he became an assistant director and then the direct. >> assistant director for ten years, so he knew what was going on there. i'm sorry, you're the band director. day one you just come in and you say it's done. no more. >> you say you're a scapegoat when you've been a part of that culture for so many years. >> i don't like to read into people, you get under the hot lights of a studio, you're being interviewed. but i wish he had said, parents, trust me. i wasn't aware. just something more heart felt. >> but he was aware.
9:08 am
>> i'm saying whatever his stance is, he's saying you can't turn around the titanic or whatever. i just needed more emotion. because what some of these students went through is frightening and they don't deserve that. i wanted more heart from him. >> pretty horrific and clear cases of allegations of abuse. all right. this happened to me the other day. has this happened to you guys? you're walking down the street -- i think this happens more to women, not guys. you walk down the street and a complete stranger says hey, pretty lady, why don't you smile. do you get this? smile, al. well, it happened to me. i was at the airport thinking i got to get home and get my bag. and a guy said with such a pretty face, you should put a smile on it. i was like, okay, creep. anyway, this was a schedule on "the huffington post." they started this discussion.
9:09 am
but rachel krans photographed women when they're told to smile. first, because i'm intimidated by you. another, because i'm worried about finding a job when i graduate. reasons, perhaps, why i'm not smiling. and i smile all the time, if i'm not it's just because i'm tired. which is probably what a lot of us would say. what would you respond? >> what would i write? usually if i'm not smiling with -- because i think i smile a lot probably to the point people think i'm ill. >> on the street? >> yeah. random thoughts. you're preoccupied. but usually i think -- >> but it is true. i do think about, you know, what you put out there. it's hard. it is weird though. >> because you are a stranger
9:10 am
danger. >> i'm busy. get out of my way. >> i think your point, i don't think it happens to guys. >> actually, i have had people say you know you seem so happy on tv, why aren't you smiling? well, i'm thinking about something else. >> people to get to and things to do. >> i was walking the other day and these guys were probably the nicest guys in the world, but there were ten guys on one side of the street. i'm faced with this dilemma. do i walk past or cross the street? i crossed the street. >> the little tamron walk. >> jiggling it all. >> a lord of the dance, you know. >> just smile and talk to myself. >> i'm walking across, i'm smiling, i'm a little nutty. so you might not want to stop and talk to me. anyway, because that's what i do all the time. hey. we're looking at more rain out
9:11 am
west. so we may see some more flooding out there. especially anywhere from a half inch to an inch or more of rain. and in places where it has already been inundated, it's going to be a problem. we've also got double trouble. first time since 1982 we've got the potential for two hurricanes affecting hawaii. first we've got iselle 1115 miles east of hilo. also tropical storm julio. so iselle makes its way and started to come across hilo right around thursday. and then continue on. and then right behind that, we're going to be watching julio. it should be a minimal hurricane when it comes on shore, but we will continue to m and we're seeing some unusual weather of our own with showers in the north bay, lake county into northern napa county, and what's left of the showers around east bay hills have wound down for the moment. and today we'll see temperatures in the 80s around the south bay,
9:12 am
partly cloudy skies. still a chance of an isolated shower around the peninsula, up into the north bay, where there is a slight chance of some thunder north of santa rosa this afternoon. mid-80s around pleasanton, with showers shutting down for tomorrow morning, drying out and warming up as we head towards the beginning of the weekend, with those inland temperatures in the tri-valley. back into the 90s for the second half of the week. >> and that's your latest weather. all right. we are calling all of you home chefs. if you have a recipe for a healthy and delicious treat you've been enjoying all summer, we want to hear from you. submit your creation for the chance to come to new york and help whip it up right here for joy bauer and all of us on the air. >> has to be healthy. >> low cal. send it on. >> please let it be tasty. >> i can't wait to taste it. all right. up next, how one of baseball's biggest stars darryl strawberry,

9:18 am
became a different person. that's what we all really want. i wanted to know who i was. >> you wanted to be different and better. tracy, what made you believe in him? here you were living in the basement of your family's home. you called yo urs a spouse in waiting. what made you believe he could turn all of this around and be your husband? >> i believed in the greatness in darryl. his heart has always been revealed. he has a great heart. he had issues, though. he had to make the choice to get well. there's a chapter in this called the spouse in waiting. >> what does that mean? >> that means when you are doing the right thing and you're walking the right way and your spouse has not. your spouse has checked out. and that's several people. in this book we've suffered adultery, addiction, everything. and maybe people haven't gone down that far, but we challenge reede readers to get real with themselves. even if you haven't gone down as far as we have, you can still make this work.
9:19 am
>> most people who go that far down the road, that road usually leads to divorce. why didn't it happen for you guys? >> well, i think because we put principles. we put biblical principles in our life and god at the center of our life. a lot of times we're so selfish, people are so selfish. it's about us, us, us. what i realized, it had had to be a me first. i had to get me well first because it's a we. i think a lot of times we come in and want this great marriage and white picket fence that life is going to go great. but there's a lot of rooted issues from childhood or something that i needed to deal with. i think when we all deal with our issues, it brings us together. and then there could be a we. it's got to be a me and then a we. >> it's a fascinating read. i think a lot of people can learn so much from your story. darryl and tracy strawberry, thank you for sharing it with us. you can read an excerpt on today.com. up next we've got all the

9:51 am
>> it's different from a conventional oven because there's a fan attached to the heating element. that means instead of the heat being stationary and just working off the radiant heat from the walls, the fan is blowing the hot air around so it cooks super evenly and a little bit hotter. >> natalie says she's obsessed with it as well. i have a small kitchen and this allowed me -- al got me a grill. i can grill a steak. then i throw in my vegetables and prepare those all at once without heating up my kitchen. that's why i love it. >> and you get all the benefits of a regular wall oven. >> my guests are hungry. i've prepared one of my favorite things. >> steak? >> where's the protein? >> so vegetables. one of my recipes i learned from a dear friend is two tablespoons of cumin and one of curry. i don't have a favorite brand or
9:52 am
anything. and so what i do is drizzle olive oil on this, then this with a bit of salt. i don't pretend to be martha stewart, although i do pretend. i do it at 400 for about 15 minutes. >> the only thing to keep in mind with the convection oven is it's hotter in there. that's heavy. >> it is. >> so if you want to -- if you're go i think to use convection, reduce the time you're baking or roasting. >> it's different. 400 is different from conventional to convection. >> that's right. reduce the temperature by 25 degrees. instead of 400 roast at 375. >> now, these are scones. i make scones every weekend. meyer lemon scones. we have a picture of what i cooked this past weekend in my convection oven. that's not what i cooked.
9:53 am
that's me. i did bake eggs this weekend and i do scones. and they turn out wonderfully. >> the great thing about baking in -- you know, when you're baking in a traditional oven most ovens have hot spots. that's why you have to rotate your trays. >> keep rotating. >> i will keep chatting about this on twitter. we'll have more for you next tuesday in my trends. this "today" on nbc.

10:08 am
this up. i want to give credit to hoda about this. say what you were thinking. >> i just said maybe the girl was just being a real pain in the neck and the mother says, look, i'm telling you right now, one more word and i'm going to put these tickets and sell them on facebook. and the mother pushed the button. maybe that's how it happened. >> you know, any time -- it seems harsh, but she's not beating her. don't beat your children. and you have to be very, very careful because those things live forever. if you're a loving parent -- i bet she wants it back now, even though she did get $90 for the tickets. >> here's another reason to love taylor swift. she visits often kids in the hospital. she visited this young child who's going through -- at boston's childrens hospital. taylor showed up and gave him a little impromptu concert. let's take a look. ♪ we are never ever ever getting
