good morning. >> good morning. many of the travelers have been here for days. mothers sleeping on the floor with their children. it's hot and steamy here, no a.c. backup generators are keeping lights on for about ten commercial flights a day. and there's concerns whether this exodus could be a sign of things to come. this morning, growing signs throughout puerto rico, of another crisis, already ravaged by the most powerful hurricane to hit the island in decades, it could soon face a huge migration. puerto ricans by the tens of thousands leaving what is left of their homes and coming to the u.s. mainland. the governor sounding the alarm. are you expecting a mass exodus of the puerto ricans to the u.s. mainland? >> if conditions are inhospitable, if we don't have the resources to rebuild properly, yes. this is going to cause a problem for puerto rico and a problem for the mainland, as well. >> reporter: all over the u.s. territory, these american

citizens are struggling to survive. no running water. gas is scarce. and they could be without power for months. these nighttime images from space show the island before hurricane maria and after. and most of the electric grid is completely wiped out. nbc lester holt flew along with the national guard flying into san juan to people who desperately need supplies. >> people talk how bad it is but you don't know that until you see it. >> reporter: president trump tweeting, because of its massive infrastructure and debt, they going to have a problem. luis and his wife have moved temporarily moved from san juan to near sarasota but thinking about making it permanent, unless there is massive aid to fix the devastation -- fast! >> people are not going to wait too long. they're going to start flying over here in droves. >> reporter: puerto rico's

ballooning debt crisis has already forced many people to leave this island. about 500,000 over a decade. now, there's concerns that the widespread devastation from hurricane maria, could speed up that process. guys, again, the governor is urging the federal government to step in and stop the bleeding. back to you. >> gabe, thank you very much. >> that's what's happened in the wake of hurricane maria. where is the storm now? >> as we take a look, we have live video from beaufort, north carolina. you can see clouds look threatening. the seas will start increasing as we get closer with hurricane maria. now, just barely a category 1 storm. so we will be watching this. it's 210 miles southeast of cape hatteras. 75-mile-per-hour winds. it's moving north at seven. but the tropical force winds extend out 240 miles from the center. this afternoon, into tonight and tomorrow, the cape gets brushed by those tropical storm winds.

in fact, dangerous rip currents from miami all the way up to east port. thank goodness a lot of kids back in school. not a lot of folks at the beach. we have tropical storm warnings from the virginia, north carolina border, all way down to the cape. look out. winds will be from 60-mile-per-hour gusts on the outer banks, 35-mile-per-hour to 50-mile-per-hour gusts up to virginia beach. we have a storm surge watch two to four feet, for roads could be washed out. lof erosion. a lot of erosion. and the waves, life-threatening rip currents. moderate damage to marinas and boardwalks. we heard in gabe's report, the heat index in puerto rico today and into tomorrow, well above 100 degrees. with no air conditioning it will be intolerable there. national weather service radar knocked out. probably won't get replaced for another six months. they are kind of blind as far as

any other weather coming their way. >> very bleak there, al. thank you very much. a lot more to get to, including escalating tensions between the u.s. and north korea. north korea's foreign minister says the president with his threats has declared war on the north. the white house rejecting that that notion quickly. bill neely has more on this heated back and forth. bill, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. good morning, everyone. we've all had them. misunderstandings that lead to conflict. but the risk of that on a global scale is, perhaps, higher this morning after north korea claim that the u.s. has declared war. south korea warning this morning of an accidental clash that could spiral into nuclear war. a new north korean propaganda video. a computer simulation of u.s. warplanes being destroyed. an aircraft carrier on fire. the crude illustration of a threat from north korea's foreign minister.

since the u.s. declared war on our country, he said, we have the right to shoot down its bombers, even when they are outside of our air space. u.s. b-1 bombers flew unexpectedly close to north korea this last weekend in a show of force, just as president trump tweeted that the north korean leadership won't be around much longer. but the white house denies any of this means war. >> we've not declared war on north korea. frankly, the suggestion of that is absurd. >> reporter: overnight, the american defense secretary in asia, trying to calm nerves. >> that is our goal to solve this diplomatically. and i believe that president trump has been clear on this issue. >> rocket man -- >> reporter: but the rhetoric, the personal threats and insults has the world worried. at the united nations. >> fiery talk can lead to fatal misunderstandings. >> reporter: in china, which says this is getting dangerous. no one would win a war.

and in south korea, claiming this morning that north korea is moving warplanes to new positions. the trip wires on the path to possible war are growing, as missiles, warplanes and the risks of miscalculation rise. now, i should say north korea has accused the u.s. of declaring war at least three times before. but kim jong-un sees this dispute as personal. and history certainly shows wars can start from small sparks. matt? savannah? >> bill neely, thank you. form former in the morning congressman anthony weiner was sentenced to 21 months in prison for sexting with a 15-year-old girl. as the sentence was read, the 53-year-old dropped his head and wept. in may, he pleaded guilty of transferring obtain pearl to a minor.

have ever heard. great anger, he says. clearly this controversy is still in the spotlight after president trump several days ago said that nfl teams should suspend or fire players who take a knee during the national anthem, something started by colin kaepernick to protest social injustice. this is not the only headline catching the president's attention here in washington. there's a lot of folks talking about what feels like groundhog day frankly in the nation's capitol. yet again the republican plan to repeal and replace obamacare seeming all but dead because maine senator collins came out against the bill. it means that despite republican control of the white house, the house and the senate, here on capitol hill, their crucial campaign pledge is going nowhere it seems, at least not this year. savannah, back to you. >> hallie jackson, thank you.

comedy? it would be hard to say a line when you were supposed to get a laugh. but we had to do it. what i noticed was the laughter from the audience was different and has been different ever since. there was something harsh about the laughter. and it hit my ear. and i thought, this is weird. the laughter is different. it's there. and eit's stronger. but there's an edge to it. and that's what i remembered. from that point on, it's been the same ever since. >> you talk about a different time. i've gone back and looked at so many of your movies. "the sting," one of my favorite movies of all-time. >> me, too. >> really? >> i looked at the film. i hadn't seen the beginning. when i saw the film, i thought, i don't think george has received the attention he deserves. but when i looked at that film and i realized that he did the whole thing himself, including the music, preparing the music, that's one of the finest made films i think i've ever seen. >> i love that movie.

you and neumann. good to see you, robert. come back soon. "our souls at night" starts in select theaters and streams on netflix this friday. up next, maria shriver has one woman's recovery after a brain injury robbed her of the ability to speak, read and write. this is "today" on nbc.

special series, "brainpower" today. one woman's injury that affected her abilities to read and to write and to speak. >> maria shriver with another great story. >> i love the support i get here on the couch. lauren marks was 27 years old when a brain aneurysm left her unconscious on the floor. when she woke up, her language skills were gone.

but lauren's story has a happy recovery and her story is an inspiration to us all. >> all of the things that could have happened to me, that was not on the list. that was not on the things that i worried about. >> reporter: in 2007, lauren marks was a thriving actress and ph.d. student. she was out with friends at this karaoke bar, when cell phone video captured the terrifying moment that changed her life forever. >> while i was singing and smiling and laughing, i collapsed. i was up and down. >> reporter: then, you're in the hospital and you've had brain surgery. >> yeah. >> reporter: lauren suffered a brain aneurysm that left her with a debilitating condition, called aphasia. affecting patients ability to read, write and speak. >> a heavy -- >> reporter: its affects on speech are similar to what this

cbs reporter went through live on the air during a severe migrai migraine. believe it or not, aphase ya strikes every 150 americans. while many are elderly stroke victims, many are young. lauren had to undergo two brain surgeries and months in the hospital. her family praying for her recovery. did you think she would come back? >> we didn't know. we didn't know. we prepared for the worst and hoped for the best. >> reporter: now, in her new book, "a stitch of time," this former actress shares her inspiring story of perseverance, to regain her language and identity. can you describe what it's like to want to talk and not being able to put the words and not being able to get them to come out? >> yeah. i call that being locked out of your own house. i woke up, i didn't have an inner voice? that voice was like, get up.

you're in the hospital. there's a problem. it would say some things. but a lot of it was just nonsense. >> reporter: through a year of intensive rehab, lauren went from speaking less than 40 words to recovering her speech. reading and writing skills. part of her therapy, keeping a journal of her struggle that eventually became her book and helped her to heal. >> not being able to work with one sentence, to finishing an entire book, that's as monumental as a task i could have set out for myself. >> reporter: a dk cade after her aneury aneurysm, lauren says writing is still tough. she relies on a text-to-speech software to read back her sentences, to make sure they make sense. now married with a baby boy, she wants to give hope to others

living with aphasia. she says losing her voice helped her to find a new one. you talk about in the book, this really is a gift. and i think that's hard for some people to think, it's a gift. not to be able to speak. >> the gift is finding a lot of joy in what i do have. in the moments i had, the life and a ph.d. student and i was doing all these things. and i was the most critical of myself. and when i had so little, i enjoyed every element of it. >> lauren says most of her language skills have returned. but she struggles with finding the right words. recovery rates for aphasia depend on the injury and the follow-up care. >> i love what she says at the end, she appreciates her life more. that's beautiful. >> she was really inspiring. >> keep bringing us the great stories. thanks, maria. up next, biggest names in golf, gearing up for a huge

sha shaky. i think it's 1-9-1. the last time you won, jordan said he was a years old. just saying. >> pretty close. >> can you win it this time? >> we have a good team. statistically, the americans have a better team, on paper. but saying that, we have come together as a team. and i think we're ready. i definitely think the americans have a lot more pressure on them than us. everyone is expecting us to lose. we don't have to worry about anything. we just have to play. >> you're lowering expectations right now. adam, you arrived in separate buses. is this one of the weeks where the game face goes on right now? or is there a lot of fun to be had here until the opening shot is hit on thursday? >> yeah. i think the next two days, i mean, everyone enjoys getting together in this different format. when we get to the course, the teams will separate a little bit for the rest of the week. there's been some get togethers on sunday nights after the matches are over in the past. the rest of the week, the game

face is on. our boys are fired up and ready to go. we'd love to have a crack at this u.s. team. >> is this play the round, hit the range, grind it out, go to bed early? or might some of you take part in some of the night life activities that new york city presents? i'm looking at the australians here. leishman, don't hide there. are you going to get into town and enjoy a little bit of new york city? >> we've already done that. >> yeah. we already did that already. you know, that was last week. so, we're getting ready for this week. >> is it okay that on a normal weekend, i will sit in front of the set, watching the pga tour and i'll root for all of you. hit it close. stick it. when this tournament rolls around, do you understand the fact that i may, from time to time, scream chunk it? does that make me a bad person? >> you're probably not the last person. especially out there. it doesn't make you a bad person, as all. >> you understand the competition. guys, have fun. we're really happy it's come to

enjoy these things is a lot of fun. and i think all the guys really like it because it's just so different. you know, we're doing everything as a team all week. it's a lot of fun for us to go out and play for all of the fans in a different format that we're used to. >> i'm going to take advantage of having you right here. i have my club. can you give me and folks at home one pointer when we're coming up to drive the ball? >> it starts with fundamentals. you want to make sure you're set up and everything is good. especially if you're rtrying to hit a long drive. >> don't wear four-inch heels? >> that probably wouldn't work. >> there's that. in the heels. i have a 6-month-old at home. a 9-month-old at home. how early is too early to get them started in golf? >> i get my oldest son out. he's 2 1/2.
