would be a cool one to see. >> yeah. >> you feel like it's not going after you. >> the size of the bite. >> they can tell how big they were from the bite. they were able to do that. that looks like a floating grilled cheese sandwich. >> he was too big to be close. >> how big? >> too big. on a more serious note a top story is the baseball fan that fell to his death during a braves game. now, this is happening as alex is coming up to bat we're here with more details. >> good morning. meantime fans that witnessed the event are still reeling. >> that was a horrifying scene for those and even for the games sports cast er. >> someone just fell over the upper deck right below us. oh my gosh. they have to stop the game.

oh my gosh. as alex was coming and being introduced a fan fell from the upper deck. >> the man landed head first and very close to where the families of the players were sitting. >> he just came down like a thud on to the concrete. >> steps. >> we did cpr until the paramedics came and put him on a neck collar and took him away for about ten minutes or so. it was pretty nerve racking. people in shock squl this shows the victim being carried out on a stretch er. the man fell to his death in his seventh inning. many did not realize what happened and the game went on.

>> at was hit by a foul ball. >> accord he was a season ticket hold er that was yelling when he lost his balance and this is the third death at turn er field since 2008. >> that's terrible. the other top story is the execution of the sheriff deputy. >> reporter: this town is coming together to heal the unprovoked killing is reignited a debate. >> our father -- >> amist a conversation about questionab questionable.

killed and a 10-year-old girl at a birthday paerrty. there were half a mile people without power at one point during this storm. this is the moisture, and it's producing heavy rain. this is a winter storm system that you see. when the winds are that high, there are no leaves on the tree. it was a different situation to get this big of a storm when the leaves are on and causes a lot of them to topple. tropical storm erika is no more. now we have the heavy rain moving in this morning in miami. we could see three to five inches of rain in florida. we could see some areas of flooding when you get the pockets of rain. that's the concern, and because of that we have to flood watches in affect. we could see three to five inches of the amount. i also want to point out a

category four and it's going to stay well to the north of hawaii, but we have 20 foot waves and rip currents. it's not going to get that close, and it's going to do downgrade to a category one. donald trump is still the party's favorite and chuck today is a moderator for "meet the press" good morning. >> good morning. >> people said that it would be near impossible to last this long especially as a republican. the poll comes out, and the numbers are strong. chuck, this seems to be more than a summer fling. >> yeah the most significant number in there may not be trumps but the second place number at 18 percent because what do trump and carson have in problem. neither one of them have never held an elective office. the two of them together going

together nearly 50 percent by themselves shows you that this establishment sentiment is huge. i think that the most important number in the poll is 75 percent of iowa republicans say that they have an unfavorable or unsatisfactory review of republicans in congress. they're mad at your own party and why they're attracted to the outers like trump and carson. >> okay. distracting from what we can figure out and looking at hillary clinton and not great for her at all. you see sanders gained a little bit and only seven point there. it was an assertive week last week and she was also very apologetic on the e-mail server thing. can she survive the scandal or slow it down? >> well, the good news is that 61 percent of the democrats say that it's not an issue for them.

it's an issue among the democrating. however, you do get it and that they're nervous and that's why the chatter and joe biden is not going away. i think you can't ignore the bernie sanders number. it looks similar to the rise of barack obama eight years ago in iowa. >> kruchuck, thank you so much. we will be watching this morning when your guest is governor scott walker. the owner of the first triple crown winner says that he may retire after the shocking defeat this saturday. we have more this morning. >> erica, good morning. this stunned the racing world. he is the most significant horse and his run could be over for good. >> it was a stunning upset.

>> triple crown winner american pharoah was in the lead in the final moments of the stake until they rallied from behind to take the gold. >> k 9. >> the horse started to go down and come back to me. i thought that i had a chance to win the race. >> in june american pharoah became the first horse in 27 years to sweep the kentucky derby, the belmont stakes and another. a request that began last may with a victory and then two weeks later with another finish and the prenotes. >> american pharoah has opened up a lead. >> the winning streak capped off with the belmont stakes. a much longer race than the

kentucky derby. >> american pharoah is finally the one. >> at last they obtain the grade yard and role away is the only one and it's beautiful and today no one would argue that american pharoah obtains it in the racing history. >> going into the race there's a concern that the travel schedule would take a toll. that's more than 18,000 miles. >> crazy. 18,000 miles. >> he was jet lagged. >> not his fault. >> give him so airborne before the race. >> same thing. gloets to amazing rescue of the hierk lost for a week. >> yeah, they have been found and treated for nonlife threatening injuries this morning. she fell and injured herself in

reconnect with something that has come to mean a great deal to us. it wasn't a hurricane but a state of mind. if you were in the storm zone, it was the only thing you thought of for months and years. the storm didn't come and didn't go. it stayed and in many ways, it's still here. ♪ the gulf of mexico roared up out of there. storm surge almost 30 feet. nobody has ever heard of a 30-foot storm surge. and wiped out just house after house after house, and as you can see, it's not exactly like there's a re rush to rebuild here, either. >> when people think of the hurricane they think of new orleans. but mississippi got hammered, too. days after the storm earnest got his restaurant open again. his gum bbo is second to none. >> it was worth it.

we got to cooking. >> that to me says a lot about us right here, you know. that's what we did. this is the big bridge between the two it was destroyed in katrina as were hundreds of houses and businesses around here. wednesday night early thursday morning you sleep in your car because there was no place to stay. there was independent folk around here. we don't count on the government for much but where is the cavalry? nowhere was the cavalry needed more than in new orleans when the levees failed the city became a cruel example offing .
