from officials. >> this may represent the new normal. >> what's behind the sudden increase? and full moon fever. a stunning super moon lighting up the night sky. the breathtaking snapshots of the biggest and brightest moon of the year that have people in awe. "today," thursday, july 14th, 2022. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with savannah guthrie and hoda kotb. live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. good morning. welcome to "today." thursday morning, 7:00 a.m. on the west coast. i hope you saw a huge, beautiful moon. >> the moon, you know, could wake you up it's so bright. >> yeah. >> really bright. a special moon. they call it the buck moon. we'll have more on that. >> i know you know the numbers came out yesterday, pretty staggering. inflation up just over 9%. and by now you've heard that

happens to be the biggest jump in four decades. so what does that all mean? >> we know gasoline prices are high. they're about $4.60 a gallon. but if you look overall, energy prices, gas, oil, electricity, up 40% from a year ago. >> and groceries up 12% from this time last year. to put that in perspective, beef is now 50 cents more per pound. >> housing and rent up too. up more than 5%. it's truly affecting everything we buy. we have our team ready trying to make sense of it, including how long it will last and what you can do to save money. >> we begin like we do with mornings with tom costello who has the latest. >> reporter: good morning, we are not alone in the world. we are paying high prices, the rest of the world is. we'll get to that in a minute. but most of the country does not need a stat to tell us what we need and feel and pay every day. we are paying more for everything, housing as you

mentioned, clothing, gasoline. and have you been to the grocery store lately? it's happening coast to coast, consumers feeling the pain in their wallets with inflation hitting the highest point in nearly 41 years. among the everyday staples over the past year, higher costs for chicken and beef. a gallon of milk up nearly 60 cents. and the price for a dozen eggs increasing by more than a dollar. it's not just what we eat. prices are also going up for clothing, housing and utilities. at this food pantry in san diego county, families are stocking up on the essentials. some of them first time visitors. >> i'm out of work right now and so is my wife so we need this. >> reporter: before the pandemic, the san diego food bank served about 350,000 families. now adding in inflation they're up to half a million every month. it's a struggle for them as well. >> when donations are down, the food bank has to buy food and

that food is a lot more expensive today than two years ago. >> reporter: and across america one of the biggest pain points has been gas prices but there may be some good news. they seem to be easing slightly down 41 cents on average from a month ago still many are feeling the pinch this summer as some families are modifying their vacation plans. >> the cost doubled. it was going to cost us over $2,000 just to get there and back with fuel prices. >> reporter: instead of going to the grand canyon, amber and her family decided they were going to stay in michigan. >> i like to think we postponed it, maybe it'll happen soon, maybe next summer, but who knows at this point. >> all of this as economists are hyper focused on the federal reserve, now expected to raise interest rates higher to bring inflation under control. >> the fed really has only one tool. they have one screwdriver, they can tighten, they can loosen. if you need a saw or hammer, they don't have that tool. >> reporter: what does that mean?

it means the fed is likely to raise rates again this month, three quarters of a point maybe even a full percentage point coming in september. we mentioned we are not alone in the world. in canada and mexico, they're also paying 8% inflation rates right now. in uk, 9%. this is clearly a global problem and there's so many reasons as we have spelled them all out over the last few months. back to you. the perfect storm, tom. thank you. here to dive into the numbers and tell us if any relief can be expected, melissa lee, host of cnbc's "fast money". the question is, as what the fed does, has any of the policy changes that have gone into effect done anything to ease inflation. if you look at those numbers, the answer is no. >> policy can only do so much. there are components where fed policy will not do anything, for instance, housing prices. you sign a lease for a year, so

you don't see things change. you don't see that price go lower right away, even if everything else in the world is going lower. the direction over the long term will be lower but what the fed is doing is not going to impact that. companies are raising prices, some prices are sticky, don't move as quickly as what's going on in the macroeconomic world so those prices remain high. >> the administration said that 9.1% figure obviously is stunning, but gas prices have fallen 40 cents in the past month. that's true. are these numbers in way not reflecting this incremental progress that the white house is pointing to. >> there is. that's the good news. seeing commodity costs go down. the average price of a gallon of gasoline has edged lower since the middle of june. commodities from wheat to corn to lumber, they've come well off of their highs by double digit percentages. but prices are sticky. it's going to take time for consumers see the decline in economy.

we heard from pepsico. they make pepsi, frito-lays. they reported their results. they were able to put on a 12% increase across the product portfolio on average and consumers are willing to pay it. >> bottom line, they're raising prices and people are paying the higher prices. that's the irony of this. they say in your business, higher prices cure higher prices. >> right. >> is it about when consumers say i'm not going to buy that anymore or i can't buy that anymore. is that when prices come down. >> yes. and that's what we're looking for the in the housing market, if the fed raises rates, consumers are priced out, they don't buy the house. they're hoping that works to bring that demand down. >> at the same time not wanting to put sludge in the economy and cause a recession. >> cause the wheels to stop entirely. >> a delicate business, melissa thank you. let's move to the december separate search and rescue mission under way in southwest virginia.

heavy rain caused devastating flash flooding. dozens still unaccounted for and more than 100 homes are damaged. kathy park joins us from oakwood, virginia. hey, kathy. good morning. >> reporter: hoda, good morning to you. the flooding here was so severe, even rescue crews are having a tough time navigating through these rural roads to get to people who might still be stranded. a lot of the roads are impassable at this hour and bridges have washed away and we're told the damage stretches for miles. this morning, scenes of devastation in rural virginia. cars stacked up like toys. roofs of homes scattered on the ground. and roads turned to rivers.

these images show the path of destruction left behind by the floodwaters. hundreds of homes this morning still without power. >> i could hear the river. it was roaring. it sounded like -- like a lion roaring. >> the devastation comes nearly a year after the same community was hit hard by hurricane ida. >> one of the things with this is the severity of the damage to the houses is not as extensive as we saw last year with some of the flooding. however, the number of houses that were affected is significantly more. >> reporter: on wednesday the governor declaring a state of emergency. >> this community right here is pulling together, we're all treating each one as family. >> reporter: and officials say that as of right now, there are no confirmed fatalities or injuries, because of the power outages and spotty cell services that might be the reason why the number unaccounted for is so high at this hour but we should have answers as the rescue

efforts continue. >> let's hope that's true. kathy park. kathy, thank you. >> let's bring al into the conversation, tracking the threat of more storms today. it was a scary night in a lot of places. >> it was. pilgrim's nob had the flash flood warning, by 8:30,. because of climate change we're seeing more and more of the heaviest rainfall days in 2021, 385 locations saw their top ten wettest day, 37 folks wettest day ever on record and that's happening more and more. other problem. the heat stretching from the dakotas down to texas. 18 million people impacted. for today the heat index is not so bad west of the rockies. because of the heat and humidity, triple digits in tulsa, dallas, san antonio for today. memphis is going to come close, tomorrow more of the same heat

saw on the video from police. ever since columbine the guidance is clear you run towards gun fire and neutralize the shooter as quickly as possible. parents here want to know why that did not happen. we have to warn you these images are disturbing. >> a devastated community searching for answers. >> they're the ones supposed to be in the front line leading the troops. >> reporter: new video released by the austin american statesman revealing a minute by minute time line that shows authorities were inside robb elementary within minutes, initially fleeing from the gun fire and then standing by with shields, body gear and rifles for more than 40 minutes possibly awaiting orders before approaching the classroom again. >> as you watch the video, what's the worst mistakes made? >> the first time they heard gun fire, they retreated. >> reporter: law enforcement waited close to another 30 minutes before border patrol finally took out the gunman. ana rodriguez calling their

actions cowardice. she couldn't bear to bring herself to watch the video after losing her 10-year-old daughter, who was remembered by actor matthew mcconaughey at the white house after the shooting. >> these were the same green converse on her feet that were the only clear evidence that could identify her after the shooting. how about that? >> they failed our community. they failed our kids. our kids and our teachers paid the price for their failure. >> reporter: we're also learning more about a uvalde police officer criticized by some on social media for checking his cell phone during a standoff. according to a texas legislature, that officer is reuben ruiz, the husband of slain teacher. his wife had contacted him saying she was shot and dying. adding he tried to save her but was held back and had his gun taken away and was escorted from the school. as uvalde families demand answers, now victims as young as

10 are pushing for change. >> no one has to go through what i've gone through at school. i felt sad because most of my friends passed away. >> it's hard to believe that the school year in uvalde starts up in just a few weeks. have they decided what they're going to do for the staff and students returning? >> reporter: hoda, that's right. the middle of next month is the time line we're looking at right now, and according to the school district, they just performed a comprehensive security and safety audit and are planning on implementing changes by that date using a million dollars they received in donations from the las vegas raiders. some of that is spacing around the schools, additional cameras and on top of that, upgraded doors and door locks given what

jarvis, he said thanks to blue chips he has a future to look forward to. >> if there's one piece of advice that lieutenant mike gave you, almost like a motto that you want to share to other people, what would it be >> be your own person. do what's best for you i remember living for everybody else and when i started living for myself, that's when everything big happen. >> congrats. guys, he was thinking about joining a gang his freshman year in high school now accepted to 11 universities, hundreds of thousands in scholarship money it's incredible. a program that works and because it works, the yankees are here, garrett cole, jose trevino and, of course, rizzo i want to start with you and talk about the season in a little bit because you guys are on an incredible run but this story and hope week, how special is it? >> it's a really cool opportunity we have as yankees to reach out to our communities and highlight excellent stories like this. and take a break from our normal day job. and make an impactful

difference. >> jose, i saw that video when you found out that you had been named to the all-star team going to happen in a few days out in los angeles i think we have the video here for folks at home to see your reaction it was so genuine, so authentic. tell me about the season so far. how excited are you to play in your first all-star game >> it's incredible i have guys like garrett, rizzo taking care of me. two days before the season starts i get traded here it's a dream come true everybody has been great the fans have been awesome >> they love you >> does aaron judge give y'all any advice or does he do his things and you all do yours? >> he's the greatest player. he's such a good leader. he's the whole brains behind the whole operation for the yankees. he makes our clubhouse run and it's been a pleasure to play with him. >> garrett, you're a big part of the success as well. what's working for the yankees this season you have the best record and a lot of nights you seem unbeatable? >> i think we're playing really well as a team
