it's nice out and friday, and we're going to drag summer in with us. you wear the purple and i will wear the blue. >> well, you look fabulous. the weather is the top story. the violent storms over night. a lightening strike sparked a large fire in texas. just this morning high winds are being looked at as a train derailment. the damage and concern is not linked. dylan is in oklahoma city. good morning. >> reporter: to access the incredible damage, i flew into dallas airport. as soon as i left, one of the terminals were shut down the flooding. passengers were not allowed in or out of terminals. then i had a frightening ride

here and yesterday was day two of the severe weather outbreak, and it's possible that the worth is yet to come. >> over night it was texas under the dpungun. >> now that's lifting in there. >> a line of storms moved into the dallas area just as i was driving through reporting for the weather channel. >> >>. >> reporter: i am pulled in a gas station with the rest of texas. >> a twister generated three tunnel cloud. >> there you can see the multiple. >> that's really nice. >> there were tornados, high winds and hails and rain. i was nearly stopped in my tracks by flash floods. for the most part they dodged the bullet with no major damage. on thursday oklahoma got a short break from the violent weather over the last couple of days.

>> these are not packing the punch, and that's really good news. the damage is already done, and it's heart breaking. >> i lost everything. >> reporter: over night this video was released and shot from inside a shelter from wednesday night's storm. the clean up is under way and in some cases, it will take months. >> we're going stay out here. this is our home. if it hits again, it hits again. >> reporter: the stories of survival coming out of this area are amazing. the family that lived here is a family of five with three small children. when it hit, they climbed into the storm shelter and it trapped them inside as water and gas started to flow in. a neighbor camed and rescued them. the family is totally safe. we're looking at another round of stronger storms to redevelop later on this afternoon and al tomorrow there's an additional

threat for the same area before it does start to move a little further to the east al. >> that's for sure. it's going to be a ruf 72 hours for that region. we have severe storms firing up and moving out of texas and into parts of arkansas and northern mississippi. here we go. we're going to be looking at warmer air coming up from the south and the cool air behind it. the dry air is tunnelling in and causing a lift. so the storm threat is basically dallas about 7 million people and wind gust of 60. there could be tornados. over night tonight over night storms between oklahoma city and wichita falls. 16 million folks at risk. rain wrapped and impossible to see. saturday is 22 million people at risk for this. we're talking of strong long tractor or thes. they stay on the ground and do a

lot of damage. hail with three inches or more. that's going to be difficult. we're talking anything and some inches may have seven inches of rain. the other big story is the south eastern atlantic coast and this is the subtropical storm ana. it is kraulgcrawling. let's check in myrtle beach with gab. things are going to be changing gabe. >> reporter: yeah, it was named and a tropical storm watch is in affect despite the sunny skies here. the maximum sustained winds are 45 miles an hour. it's forecasted the bring lot of rain and rip currents. it prompted a coast guard rescue. two people were trapped in their

boats. the coast guard came in and thankfully, no one was hurt. now here is the biggest problem, it's moving northwest at one mile an hour. so that means that it could linger for much of the weekend. >> that's absolutely right. as we look at the path you can see that saturday it's many the atlantic. it's not until early monday morning that it makes the way on shore. we're going to watch this. because it's so slow, look at the rainfall amounts. we're talking three to five inches, but right here along the north carolina coast there could be seven inches or more guys. not only do we have to worry about that, but tomorrow we're calling this all season saturday. we have the record breaking heat and severe weather. we have winter storm warnings and watches and a subtropical storm to deal with. crazy stuff. >> wow.

[ applause ] >> absolutely not. >> but brady declined to discuss

the thought of the deflategate report. >> i don't have a reaction. it's only been 30 hours and i don't know how i feel about it. >> are you that slow a reader? >> well my athletic career is better than any academic career. i am used to reading x's and o's and this is a little bit longer. >> cameras were only allowed to cover the first ten minutes and the moderator. >> there's an elephant in the room. >> where? [ laughter ] >> you may be the only one that does not see it. >> reporter: is brady's legacy tainted? >> no, not to me. >> reporter: in a statement thursday blasting the wells report as a significant and disappointment including them leaving out key facts and

portions of brady's testimony. the question facing the nfl is what punishment will they face? they will protect the integrity of the game. with the league policy distacting the failing to cooperate is subject to discipline discipline. >> he is picking a finding by not cooperating by over cooperate asking who knows what they would have found in the text messages and e-mails. >> weighing in is the reporter that broke the show. >> if tom is not suspended, i think that it will be another black eye for the league. >>. >> reporter: over night, social media is sounded off. >> what a cheater. but fan added tom brady is innocent. >> reporter: this morning we're getting a look at the other key players as part of the

deflategate scandal. this is jim that calls himself the deflator. he is accused of taking air out of the footballs this past january. he also ripped on tom brady in a trail of text messages. this morning we're waiting to hear when brady will speak. hopefully soon but will that be before any punishment is by the league. back to you. >> thank you. the fbi is sounding the alarm in the wake of the terrorist attack in garland, texas. nbc pete williams has more on this for us. pete, good morning? >> good morn to go you. the fbi director says that hundreds or thousands are following the media. open in every state. the fbi says the texas plot is dramatic proof of the power of isis propaganda through social media.

fbi director james comey says i know there are other elton simpsons out there. the isis message, he says, is relentless urging followers to stage attacks. it's almost as if there is a devil sitting on the shoulder saying kill, kill, kill, all day long. congress is worried, too, about social media as a powerful recruiting tool. >> if you have an interest in jihadism, you can find other people who are interested in that very easily, very quickly and you can establish relationships with them. >> reporter: comey also disclosed that three hours before sunday's attack in garland, texas, the fbi sent police there a bulletin with elton simpson's license and car number shortly after learning he has interest in going there. but comey said the fbi had no idea that he wanted to attack it or that he left phoenix. and there's no indication that the officer who ended up shooting simpson and the other gunman nadir soofi ever saw that bulletin.

garland police declined to say what they did in response to the information, but insists they had no warning of any planned attack. the fbi says the information about elton simpson was not a warning because agents had no idea he left phoenix. willie. >> fascinating that it came just three hours before the attack. pete williams on this for us. thanks, pete. meantime, quite a scare in the air last night. imagine being in the middle of a flight when smoke begins filling the cabin. it's what passengers faced on a new york-bound flight last night leading to an emergency landing. nbc's tom costello is on the story. tom, good morning to you. >> reporter: hi, savannah. this was delta air lines. 89 passengers on board. at 39,000 feet alarms went off as they were over the ocean forcing them to make an emergency landing in south carolina. tense moments aboard delta flight 2028 on thursday. passengers film as the cabin begins filling with smoke. >> that was the first time i experienced something like that so it was scary.

>> reporter: the flight took off at 3:00 p.m. bound for la guardia airport. but as the plane flew above the atlantic ocean, passengers began noticing smoke. >> white smoke came up in the front. around 11 c. and when i turned around. smoke was black. >> reporter: delta said one of the boeing's engines like this one experienced a mechanical problem. pilots telling passengers the smoke came from oil that somehow leaked in the engine. the crew quickly rerouted to land in south carolina. no one was injured and a new plane brought passengers into la guardia late thursday. >> i just felt that we'll get through it. i just had this feeling. >> reporter: delta says the engine problems are still under investigation. it issued a statement saying delta's top priority on every flight is safety and it apologizes for the delay. guys, back to you. >> thank you so much. can you imagine how terrifying that would be? meanwhile, natalie is here with a new probe tied to last

week's unrest tied to the city of baltimore. >> good morning, everyone. the justice department expected to announce a new civil rights or rather a new civil rights investigation into the baltimore police department. and the city's mayor had requested a federal investigation of police procedures after the death of freddie gray touched off rioting there. six police officers have now been charged in that case. attorney general loretta lynch told congress this week that she was considering looking at whether baltimore police engaged in a pattern of excessive force. a disturbing crime has police in the san francisco bay area is searching for a sexual predator after a 13-year-old girl manages to fight him off. the surveillance video was captured inside the girl's san jose home. >> reporter: it's a parent's worst fear. watch as a stranger follows this 13-year-old girl home from school. he then forces his way into her home and forces himself on her. the girl spoke with nbc station

kntv. her voice altered to conceal her identity. >> i'm thinking, help me, help me, please. that was actually the only thing that was going through my mind. >> reporter: she managed to fight and scare off the attacker before police arrived. on april 2nd, the same suspect is believed to have followed a 28-year-old woman into a public restroom at a nearby grocery store forcing himself on her. she was also able to fight the man off. police say both victims did the right thing by fighting back and hope these images will help them find the suspect soon. until then, members of this community in northern california are shaken. >> somebody's got to know who this guy is. you guys have the picture. somebody needs to call us immediately to start doing follow-ups and take him off the streets. >> by the way, safety experts say that young girl did exactly what she should have done which is to scream, to fight off the predator in this case. so hopefully seeing these

pictures, they are so clear you would think that pretty soon they'll have the guy. >> good for her. federal health officials, meanwhile, say texas-based blue bell creameries had evidence of listeria bacteria at its oklahoma plant more than two years ago. however, a government investigation found that blue bell continued to ship ice cream from the plant despite inadequate cleaning. officials have linked three listeria deaths to blue bell products which were all recalled last month. love him or hate him, alex rodriguez this morning is alone at number four on baseball's all-time home run list. a-rod slammed his 661st home run last night to pass willie mays. the homer helped the yankees beat the orioles and the hometown fans actually cheered for their controversial hero to take a curtain call there. he seemed unsure what to do. a bus crash caught on camera shows why seat belts are so important and required for bus

drivers in many cities. take a look here. philadelphia driver slipped out of her seat making that u-turn. passengers then in the bus went flying as the bus jumped a barrier and landed on train tracks. three people were hurt. fortunately, though, there was no train approaching then. thank goodness. the bus driver's required, but passengers not required. holding onto that steering wheel is terrifying. >> thank you. al, what's happening outside? >> we're going to get to your local forecast coming up in the next 30 seconds.

it's a good series. meantime we begin this half hour with the nba's cleveland cavaliers issuing an apology with this video that was played during a playoff game against the bulls. and it's stirring up a lot of controversy. tamron has more on that. >> good morning, everyone. it was shown in the cavaliers arena in an attempt to inspire fans. but instead it has inspired a fire storm of controversy for making light of domestic violence. ♪ i've had the time of my life ♪ >> it's our song. >> reporter: the video starts off sweet. a couple dancing to the song "time of my life" from "dirty dancing." but once the girlfriend reveals she's a chicago bulls fan, things get nasty. running in for the infamous leap instead of catching her, the boyfriend slams her to the ground. >> bulls fan? i didn't know you were a bulls fan. >> reporter: later she's seen with a bag of ice on her head. >> i thought you were all in. >> i'm all in now.

let's just watch the game. >> go cavs. >> reporter: the video shown during the cavaliers playoff game against the chicago bulls on wednesday parodies a united health commercial where the couple accidentally falls after attempting the same leap. a very different take. backlash to the cavs video was instant calling it tone deaf and awful. fans asking if the video was even necessary. have they lost their mind? >> the reaction has been what were they thinking. and clearly they weren't. >> reporter: in a statement thursday the cavaliers said the video was not intended to be offensive admitting it was a mistake to include content that made light of domestic violence. it comes during a troubling time for professional sports. the nfl still reeling from ray rice's elevator abuse scandal. boxing coming off the biggest fight in years still under fire of mayweather's domestic

violence incident with his then-girlfriend. he says she was on drugs and he was restraining her at the time of the allegation. >> given everything that's happened within the last year domestic violence is not something you joke about. >> so the video has now been deleted from the team's website. so far no disciplinary action has been taken. and i think you would imagine at least five people. who do you discipline for it? surely a multiple number of people saw that and nobody said no. it seems there would be a group of people to discipline. >> thank you so much. carson i guess you gave us a poll earlier. what are people saying? >> i put up the survey there. let's get to results. overwhelmingly as you're talking about, 78% saying yes. 22% saying no. go to the today.com site and add

always clear. >> the science has overtaken the law. the law has not can caught up with the silence. >> reporter: while loeb signed an agreement with vergara saying any change should be agreed by both of them, he feels he still has a case. >> none of the forms discussed if there was a separation. there was no thought of well now she's going to change her mind and now we're not going to do it. >> reporter: but vergara told howard stern the agreement is clear. >> there is a contract. he can't do anything. >> reporter: courts do often adhere to signed forms but they could balance that with other factors. >> do they have an opportunity to have future children? is this nick's only chance to have a child? and it's not. >> reporter: so what if someone can't have another child? in illinois jacob's ex-girlfriend was awarded custody of their frozen embryos in part because chemotherapy made her infertile. he's now appealing.

as for loeb he could have other children but feels that's not the point. >> let's pretend you meet a girl tomorrow. you fall madly in love and you say let's have a baby. is it possible this whole issue would go away if that were the case? >> absolutely not. this has nothing to do with one woman over another woman. this has to do with the two lives that we've already created that already exist. >> reporter: controversial issue now getting a lot of attention thanks to one high-profile case. for "today," joe fryer, nbc news, los angeles. >> really interesting to see what the judge does. >> absolutely. al let's get a check of the weather. >> that's right. we're calling it all-season saturday coming up. not only do we have record-heat -- hello. we also have snow to talk about. we've got snow. we've got a subtropical storm. and we've got severe weather to talk about as well. this is the sierra in california. folks actually picked up about 6 inches of snow. well guess what. there's more on the way for the rockies as well. as we look at the radar, you'll

hold on to your tissues, this spring is shaping up to be the worst allergy season in years. and why? experts say this so-called pollen tsunami is due to mother nature's record-setting winter. with at least 12 states hitting over 100 inches of snow and delaying the start of spring. now all the molds, grasses, trees, and weeds are releasing spores all at the same time. an onslaught of pollen affecting 40 million americans who suffer with seasonal allergies. so before you start wheezing and sneezing, what can you do to clear the air? and dr. natalie azar joins us to talk about this. pollen tsunami, sounds like we made it up. but it's a terrible allergy season. >> it is. a couple reasons is a late winter. a bunch of pollens converging on us. trees and grass. and raised carbon dioxide

levels. >> some people think do i have allergies or a cold. how do you tell a difference? >> time of onset. colds start slow and build up and last seven to ten days. allergies last the entire season. allergies are entire season. >> you have a lot of great temperatures. exercise indoors. maybe a good idea. >> you want to leave the pollens outside. you want to stay indoors between 5:00 and 10:00 in the morning. showering before bed at night to wash off the pollen. >> and you have gently rinsed your eyelids. >> pollen gets stuck in the lashes. you start itching and scratching. rinse yourself. >> dr. natalie azar thank you. willie. savannah thank you very much. when can you do to alleviate your symptoms? we have an attending physician with the new york medical

center. nice to have you with us. >> nice to see you. >> this is a big deal. how can you keep it away from the house? before i enter the home? >> before you enter, invest in a good door mat. you really want to not track in all of the allergy triggers. clean the shoes off on the mat. front porches, we don't have to worry about that in new york city. instead of sweeping off the front porch. mop it. you will breathe it in. get a good wet mop and clean off. >> i still have my clothes on. presumably. i don't want to go too far from the laundry room. >> once you enter the house, strip down and throw them in the wash. you need to take a shower. you want to wash that pollen out of the hair and off your skin. natalie mentioned eyelashes. everything. get a good cleaning before getting into bed. speaking of your bed, invest in allergy proof bedding. they are resistant to dust

writer. so when they came to you with this role this concept, any trepidation about playing god? >> no i didn't. which was partly naive on my part. i read it and thought this is funny, thoughtful. there's something even sweet to it i think. it was only once i completely committed that i was going, not everyone is going to be thrilled you're going to be playing god. but you know what? haters going to hate. i don't know. i don't know. what would god say? >> i never heard god say haters going to hate. >> well welcome to the new being. >> the voice of god obviously is critical. when i think of voice of god, i don't necessarily think of sheldon. >> no? that's rude willie. >> how do you pull off the voice of god? >> a microphone and lots of warming up. i don't know. i really just kind of go into it and say it with force. >> can we hear a little bit of it? >> certainly. i am creator of space and time. though i reside in all forms, my

essence is formless. i transcend all dualties. >> i'm in. >> thank you, thank you. >> let's talk a little bit about your other life. "big bang theory" has been an explosive show that has taken off in ways you probably couldn't have imagined. you win the emmy every year. the other actors have stopped showing up because you win it every year. >> that is not true. >> i understand you're pulling off this broadway show in the tight window you have between shooting the show. >> yeah but i will be frank about it. theater is so rejuvenating for me. it's what i started out doing. and i did it for years and years. every time i go back it's like touching home base again. it really is. sometimes you get tired, but again, the spiritual, emotional rejuvenation from it really makes going back into a season of "big bang" all the sweeter. >> and you've got about three days between the end of the show and beginning of it? >> yes. you did your homework.

>> i did. always good to see you. congratulations. >> thank you. >> the show is at "an act of god" here on broadway. coming up gifts to make for mothers from the special ones in their life. but first this is "today" on

can find at the supermarket. >> so you put it on a paking sheet or something? >> on parchment. we have details instructions on today.com. >> you let it melt partially. these are adorable. >> and it's pretty with the light. >> then what's jesse doing over here? >> he's you know breakfast in bed is the classic mother's day treat. and he's helping us make these really pretty napkin roses. you can use fabric napkins. he's folding a nab kinpkin in half and folding it in a coil. he cut paper leaves to tuck in. butt that on the breakfast tray. also take your child's artwork and use it as a place math. you can laminate that. or at home with contact paper. something like that. >> here's the final product over here. it looks so cute. good job. >> you know what you can do have them help make breakfast as well. help them cut up fruit art. this is portrait of mom.

the sportier utility vehicle.

well good morning, everybody. it's a part of "today" and our countdown to mother's day, i'm partial but siri happens to be the best mom and partner i know. she actually wrote that. >> you read well. >> this morning we're going to cook up our favorites. when we think about our mm ooms, we will cook these. for me it was fried chicken going up. the recipe still has grease on it from how many generations i don't know. we're going to cook that in a second the way she made it. siri your mom is from iowa. and you grew up with what? >> that casserole. carson didn't know what a casserole was. she made tuna casserole for me

once a week. i loved it. her version was awesome but it had the potato chips and the canned cream of mushroom soup. no cans except for the tuna in my version. this is basically hot oil and finely chopped onions and mushrooms. >> why do you need to ruin your mom's classic recipe? >> i'm not ruining it. i'm just doing an interpretation on it. >> you're heightening it. >> exactly. so i'm going to saute this for about five minutes until it gets caramelized. and then we're going to add some flower because this is going to be the thickening agent. >> ingredients that are easy to find in the '50s, the casserole became popular. this is nice to elevate it. >> next to make the mushroom soup i'll add whole milk and chicken stock and white cheddar cheese. >> delicious. >> because you can't have a casserole without cheese.

>> so you're going to whisk that together for five to eight minutes until it gets thick. then over here is the finished thickened version. i cooked my pasta prior to the segment al dente because it's going to cook in the oven. so i'm going to add the pasta. you can do shells. >> can you make wit chicken if you wanted? >> we made this the other day for a barbecue and it was a huge hit. >> you can do chicken or salmon. now i'm adding the peas and the did -- >> and it's just canned tuna right? >> we've only got a minute left. i've got to do my chicken. >> crispy onions. >> with the chicken you want to soak soak this is buttermilk overnight. i'm going to dredge it like my mom did in egg and flour. season the flour if you can. >> his mom takes a bite of the

flour to test the season. >> you get the seasoning in the flour. it's a good opportunity if you season the flour. then we're usinge ingcrisco oil. this aroma, this is synonymous with my childhood. straight up south carolina chicken. unapologetic. you cook it about ten minutes on one side. it will start to crisp up. flip it do another ten minutes. or you can just pierce it and if the juices run clear you're good. >> so good. >> skin is amazing. >> the old fashioned way and then a twist on iowa. >> now you know what a casserole is. >> that's right. hot dish. i learned it all. >> what are you looking for? >> i had something for you. >> try this one. >> oh stop. >> for you. it was worth the wait. happy mother's day. >> thank you.

it was flight 2028 to la guardia in new york city. had to make an emergency landing in charleston south carolina after smoke filled the cabin. passengers noticed it and many started filming it. that's how we got the pictures. one passenger said people on board actually holding hands because they didn't know where this was all headed. delta said the two engines experienced a mechanical problem. they said the smoke came from oil that somehow got into the engine. a new plane did bring passengers into la guardia late yesterday. the engine problems are still under investigation. after the fact you hear everything was okay. you don't know when that's happening. >> i was flying on a late night flight from cincinnati back to la guardia and all of a sudden i was having trouble reading and i look up and i see there's smoke in the cabin. just at that point we started to hit turbulence and people started to screaming. and i started writing a good-bye letter to debra. we ended up landing in pittsburgh doing an emergency landing in pittsburgh.

>> my husband had the same thing. >> i got on a train. >> i was going to say. after that i'm not getting on a plane. >> my husband had the same thing happen. he was on his way to europe. they were just about to get out over the ocean when they saw the smoke coming out of the cockpit and immediately they turned around and landed. but my husband said they were told to brace in case there was a -- yeah. to this day he's still a little shaken and touches the plane before walking in and says a little prayer. scary. >> yikes. >> have a nice flight. >> yeah. >> hope you're not flying if you're watching this. >> no. that is a good point. >> the movie "airplane." >> no. the movie with denzel washington "flight." it was playing on a flight i was on. >> that's excellent. >> didn't you say that happened to you too? the executive producer of the show on the plane and they played the movie "flight". >> that's like a joke from

"airplane." >> yeah. that's like watching "titanic" on a cruise. >> i want something like shrek on a plane. something not happy, the cleveland cavaliers upset just about everyone with a promotional video. the plan was to show that you're all in. the cavs are doing really well. and the fans are charged. so this little video aired during the home game but the reaction to it i think is spot on. let me play it and then we'll talk about it. ♪ ♪ this could be love ♪ >> bulls fan? i didn't know you were a bulls fan. i can't believe she's a bulls fan. >> when it's playoff basketball time you have to be all in. so don't make the same mistake she made. >> i thought you were all in. >> well i'm all in now. let's just watch the game. >> go cavs.

>> wow. >> yeah. not even funny. horrible. >> it's bad taste. it's badly produced. >> it is. >> it's just a perfect storm of awful. and it's supposed to parody the united health care commercial where the couple accidentally falls when attempting that dirty dancing lift. >> that's funny. >> it's cute. it goes on. ha-ha. you know they fall together. she's not beaten into submission. imagine if you're at the game and you're watching the monitor and that pops up. you're like what? no one's been disciplined for it. the cavs issued a statement saying while the video was not intended to be offensive, it was a mistake to include content that made light of domestic violence. domestic violence is a very serious matter and has no place in a parody video in an entertainment venue. we sincerely apologize to those

who have been affected by domestic violence for the obvious negative feelings associated to this. they should say we apologize to everyone. i hate the non-apologies. you could have then went on the left-hand side and offended. >> and they deleted it. >> yeah. but how many people saw it before it aired and did anyone say, guys -- >> that's the question i have. these things go through marketing and people. >> it was low budget. >> it did look that. but people look at these things before putting it up. >> you have the production teams. they probably produced it. now you've got the gm and the president of the team and lebron james having to answer for this. >> and given all that's happened with the nfl and the ray rice thing, i mean just come on. >> it was whack as my niece would say. >> well somebody who is making the best of her week is sophia

vergara. seemingly not letting her ex nick loeb get to her. he was here on our program yesterday, of course talking about their custody dispute over the embryos that they have frozen. yesterday she got a star on the hollywood walk of fame. if we could see that photo there. by the way, she's beautiful. looking gorgeous and glamorous as she's getting her star. her son was right by her side. and fiance joe manganiello as well. later on they celebrated with a big columbian feast along with her family and friends. yeah that's her 22-year-old son. you know what? that's how you say, hey, i'm just going to enjoy the moment. pretty good answer. >> yes, she's celebrating, but you know her heart is hurting. this is somebody that was in her life. you can do the best you can and these things go on but this guy is not going away.

i mean he made the media rounds yesterday. and she still has this great family love support system. i just cannot imagine still waking up and your ex is on different channels saying you are trying to take my rights from having a daughter. it's a tough time for her even in the midst of all that celebration. and everyone i run into they're talking about it. everyone's talking about it. it's lingering. >> and it'll be interesting to see what the judge decides in this. because, you know a lot of cases where you do have a contract signed they just say, okay done deal. >> a solomon-esque type of situation. here's an interesting -- how many of you and you guys have used shazam? >> me. >> all the time. >> well there's a new app called blippar to scan everyday items with your smartphone. so you blip it. you bring this out.

>> if you don't know what that red thing is if you came down from -- >> if you're from a foreign country and you don't know what it's called in english -- >> foreign country, yes. >> they don't have a translator though. >> i agree. >> i guess i do this. and then i take that -- >> but you want to know it in english. >> and it goes and looking. bananas. >> banana. it doesn't give you the word for it. >> you could hit and it will load recipes for bananas. and this is fairly useless. no. for things you don't -- for example, vempblly you can hold it up to somebody and a face racial recognition. >> that one day you could put it up and i walk past you on the street and they say that is an al roker. he is known as a da da da. >> wrangler come in here buddy. it won't recognize wrangler?

>> no. >> it doesn't. >> let's see. >> it has about a hundred things it can recognize. it's still being worked on. >> still being worked on. anyway it's fantastic. it's good to see you wrangler. >> hey, buddy. >> i like that it has the recipes. you click on the banana and it gives you -- >> yeah. it's good. >> i like that too. banana cream pie. >> natalie has it as a translator. you have it as a human figure outer thing. and there's recipes. there's an idea there. >> it is. if it can do weather, i'm toast. anyway we've had heavy showers and thunderstorms. our friends in oklahoma city have been dealing with so much damage and unfortunately we see more for this weekend. for example, tonight -- today we have a risk of strong storms from san angelo to dallas. then tonight, oklahoma city to

wichita falls, we have a strong risk. 16 million people at risk for this. strong tornadoes possible. and overnight it's hard to see them. bad news. then tomorrow here's when we're really scared. 22 million people affected. long track tornadoes. that's going to be bad. we also have subtropical storm ana off the coast. 160 miles southeast of myrtle beach. it's not moving. and look at the rainfall with this thing. we're talking some areas up to 7 inches of rain along the north carolina coast. so that's going to be that's what's going on around 9:11. happy friday to you! we do have some lingering cloud cover courtesy of the storm system that came through yesterday. behind we have a trail of good air quality. 73 for the south bay. 72 on the peninsula today. and 66 on the east shore. our pollen levels have dropped off significantly.

he announced that in conjunction with share fair nation he would fund 1,000 south carolina school projects. that's $800,000 in pencils, books, erasers for over 375 schools in his home state. colbert said he auctioned off pieces of his set from "the colbert report" to help with funding. he finished by saying enjoy your learning, south carolina. is it coal-bear or colbert now? still doing coal-bear? >> as far as i know. we'll find out. >> well, he's not doing the character. >> the pronunciation, you're asking. >> colbert. >> i think he's going to stick with it. >> now it's oh -- coal-bear. >> all right. so moving now to bruce jenner's journey. as we continue to learn more about this family and what was happening behind the scenes, people are wondering how the kardashian kids reacted when bruce broke the news he was transgender. now e! has released an emotional

christy turlington burns. she's not taking her dress off. we're all talking good things. good to see you. >> how are you? >> hey! congratulations on everything. we're back after this. yet i'm so awake? did you know your brain has two systems? one helps keep you awake- the other helps you sleep. science suggests when you have insomnia, the wake system in your brain may be too strong and your neurotransmitters remain too active as you try to sleep, which could be leading to your insomnia. ohh...maybe that's what's preventing me from getting the sleep i need! talk to your doctor about ways to manage your insomnia. when we go to the store i find my box of honey bunches of oats, and i'm checking to see if i packaged it. he says "it has a certain code that's my line, this is the date." if the last 3 letters were p22, that's me.

i'm phil mickelson, pro golfer. if you have painful, swollen joints, i've been in your shoes. one day i'm on top of the world... the next i'm saying... i have this thing called psoriatic arthritis. i had some intense pain. it progressively got worse. my rheumatologist told me about enbrel. i'm surprised how quickly my symptoms have been managed. enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections.

good morning. >> good morning. >> i know for mother's day this is near and dear to your heart. being able to celebrate moms and the health care and the wellness leading up to becoming a mom, right? tell us about the organization. >> well mother's day is an important event. it's a time when everybody thinks about mom more than any other time. but we believe that every day is a special day. all moms could agree with that. and we're kind of celebrating what is possible. you know there's a lot that can be done for the women who do not have the safe experience they should around the world. >> tell us about the special campaign you've got going on for mother's day. >> so there are hundreds of thousands of girls and women whose lives are at risk when they deliver their children. and -- but 90% of those deaths are preventable. we're celebrating what a possible. we know what to do. we know how to bring life into the world safely and have moms be empowered when they go through the experience. we're trying to rally more people around learning more about what the possibilities are

and hopefully getting them involved. >> you say it is possible. what would you say in the last ten years have been the key to improving these numbers worldwide? >> well it's interesting. you say there's some countries that are doing much better. and there's others who are doing worse. i think awareness is a big part of it here in the u.s. where we take it for granted that there is health care for all. it's not necessarily that way. and chronic diseases are on the rise. obesity is on the rise. and that's playing a role in the numbers here in the u.s. internationally i'd say that women's independence and economic you know freedom has definitely impacted the ability for women to make decisions on their own to get the care that they need to recognize signs. and then training of more providers in the world, more midwives more people helping women. >> you just ran the london marathon. a personal best as i understand and for this cause. >> i did. i've been running to raise

credit cards. new numbers from the fed show that credit card debt is actually lower this year than it's been in the past four years. experts say people are reluctant to take on debt while wages are low. but student and car loan debt is still up for the year so far. mother's day might be a little more special than usual for a michigan woman who is expecting her 13th child. that's because her first 12 children are all boys. the chance of that happening, by the way, is .02%. her may 6th due day has been moved to the day before mother's day. they say a little girl would be neat but they joke that the odds seem to be against them. and of course they'd be more than happy to add to their boy brood. 13 children. oh my. let's get a check of the weather right now from mr. roker. >> the lid's always up in that household. >> that it is. >> thanks so much. we'll show you what we've got happening for today. strong risk of storms mostly in

know what we have in common? we talked to our doctors about treatment with xarelto®. me, when i had a blood clot in my leg that could have traveled to my lungs. that's why i took xarelto®, too. xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. i took xarelto® for afib... an irregular heartbeat that can lead to a stroke from a blood clot. xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. hey, well i'm glad we got together. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. i tried warfarin before, but the blood testing routine and dietary restrictions had me off my game. tell me about it. let's see, golf clinic, or blood clinic? ooh, that's a tough one. not this time. not with xarelto®. anything else? i'll have another arnold palmer. ok. make mine a kevin nealon. really, brian? hey, safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor as this may increase your risk

of a blood clot or stroke. while taking xarelto® you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding and in rare cases may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto® watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle-related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve, or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® has been prescribed more than 11 million times in the u.s. and that number's growing. like your guys' scores. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring, and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®. you may be able to get up to 12 months at no cost.

now to our series mother cooks best. recipes that remind us of our mother. this comes from the caribbean where my mom is from. i always remember this dish because when you hit the door it's like -- it fills the house. my mom was a wonderful, loving person. for most of my childhood she weighed almost nothing. and looking back on it i realized why was because she never sat down to actually eat. she was always getting up and getting food and this and getting seconds for people. she was never sitting eating. the meat was good but the dumpling that's the best part. the dumpling absorbs the juice and meat. so very good. we would try to sneak in and get extra dumplings. and there's one added ingredient we like to put in as well. oh yes. bottle of wine.

red. hearty. something you would use in hand-to-hand combat. this is a stick to your ribs meal. but there's vegetables in there. there are vegetables. it's healthy. kind of. mm. just like momma used to make. >> ox tail basically -- now it's just the tail of a cow basically. what you're going to do is get ox tail at your local butcher. it's very simple to get. just drizzle this with olive oil, some salt some pepper. you're going to throw it into the oven for about 20 minutes just until it browns at about 450. so it looks like this. in me meantime while it's browning you want to take carrots, leaks, celery chop it up roughly and put it all in. saute until it starts to soften up. then tomato paste, some sage

rosemary some thyme. and then you want to add some beef broth after the wine. then you're going to put the ox tail in here cover it up put it in the oven. 325 for about four hours. while that's happening, you make basically a biscuit. it's a biscuit dumpling mix. it's flour, baking soda some milk and butter. we put some barsparsley in to give it a health sort of thing. and you're going to drop it right in for about 18 to 20 minutes. you drop it in. you cover it up it will cook. and then you end up with this. >> it's delicious. >> that's amazing. so savory. >> phenomenal. >> it's a good winter comfort food. >> it's any time food. isabel roker, i miss you, i love you. happy mother's day. recipe on today.com. up next one mom's personal

>> announcer: this portion of "today" is brought to you by nissan. innovation that excites. join nissan and make the #redthumb promise this mother's day. >> you probably remember what it was like getting that driver's license. for a lot of folks and a lot of kids and parents, the statistics are scary. one in five 16-year-olds have an accident in the first year of driving. distractions like texting likely to blame. >> that's what happened to a woman who lost her daughter because of a text. >> my daughter was a high school senior with big dreams for the future. all of that was cut short because of a simple text message. the day before graduation she was driving to a minor league baseball game when she received a text. still driving, her need to answer that text cut her life short. i lost my beautiful daughter just days after that tragic car

accident and was faced a with the choice of shriveling up in a corner or sharing my story to help parents from going through a similar situation. i will never get my daughter back but every life i can help save takes the sting out of losing her. >> and mary is with us. thank you so much for being with us here today. here to show us how to prevent driving distractions with some new technology that's out there. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> again, i'm so sorry for your loss. i know this is something that's very personal for you, obviously, because of your loss and you're very passionate about preventing such distractions and preventing deaths. and why is that? why does it mean so much? >> well distracted driving is such a senseless death. and so just by sharing the message, that helps, you know make my loss not seem so you know senseless. >> as parents we can only remind

our kids so many times not to do this. what do you say to parents that will help them drive that point home? >> first of all, you have to be a good example. that is the number one. whether we think they're listening or not, they're watching us. and if you're consistent and not being a hypocrite, they're going to get that message. you have to be that example for them. >> and it was just a three-word text that your daughter was answering. and i know that's something when you speak to young people you say that message can wait. >> absolutely. where are you at. pull over. you know it's not worth risking your life for. >> so phone service carriers now are getting ready to put a plan in place to help out. >> yeah actually they have been having a plan for a few years now. a lot of the carriers not only have a plan in place and campaign but they have apps that are free you can get. verizon, sprint, at&t they all limit the phone's features. things like blocking cell phone

calls or text messages or e-mails. there are other apps that can autoactivate when your car is moving 10 miles an hour. it will automatically kick in on the device. some set safety zones. if there's an area where your kid is going to be going to for a party or going to a friend's house and you don't want them driving outside of the area you can be alerted of that as well. >> and there's another option called the canary project, what's that? >> this is interesting. this app is a way to get a dialogue going. no app is going to take the role of being a parent but this particular one, the canary app, it's free on iphone and android. what's different about it is parents get more features. so you get more alerts. you'll find out things like what's the speed that my child is driving, where are they going. but you can also get things like how are they using the phone? are they picking up the phone and making a call while they're driving? you can get all of that e-mail sent to you as a text. so it makes the parent a little bit more understanding about how

their son or daughter is really driving behind the wheel and you can have a better conversation around that. >> mary and mario, thank you so much. >> can i say one last quick thing? >> yes. >> people don't know when you're driving 55 miles an hour if you look down for 3 or 5 seconds you're covering the length of a football field. keep that in mind. for a short glance there's a lot of space. >> so important to think about. thank you, again. all the information on our website today.com. remember the best gift that you can give mom this mother's day is a promise to put your phone down while driving. and we at "today" along with our sponsor nissan and red thumb.org encourage you to make the red thumb mother's day promise. be sure to do that. we're back in a moment. this is "today" on nbc.
