from nbc news, this is "today" with savannah guthrie and hoda kotb. from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> good morning. 7:00 a.m. on the west coast. happy that you're joining us. and savannah has the morning off. >> we're talking about that extreme weather. >> your region is facing a second day of intense winds and torrential rains after hilary crashed ashore in southern california. that happened yesterday. it came upon as a tropical storm. >> here's a look where that storm is right now. at this hour and also where the storm is heading, flooding even impacting las vegas. >> amid that raging storm, parts of the region rocked by a 5.1 magnitude earthquake. fortunately no reports of significant damage but there are concerns over aftershocks. >> meanwhile, multiple wild fires forced thousands there to

evacuate. the largest blaze just 10% contained. >> so much happening along the west coast. we have live reports from across the region including hawaii where the president and ms. biden are set to survey the damage on the island of maui. but we do begin with erin mclaughlin. good morning to you. >> good morning. commuters are waking up to scenes like this. this lake so full, it's completely flooded this roadway, just one example of the destruction from tropical storm hilary. >> reporter: hilary slamming the southwest. officials calling the dangerous event a once in a lifetime storm. heavy bands of rain barreled towards southern california, the national hurricane center warned of catastrophic and life-threatening flooding. overnight mudslides forcing cars off the road and bringing traffic to a total standstill on i-10.

the storms so severe there the city announced overnight its 911 phone lines were down. and in forest falls, fifirefightersrs trapped a afte mudsdslide cut o off roads a ar their station. around los angeles, a double dose of mother nature's power as a 5.1 magnitude earthquake rattled the earth. a tropical storm, earthquake, and tornado warnings were announced within an hour of each other. toppling trees, submerging cars and triggering landslides. the massive system drenching the mountains and deserts. even flooding this emergency room. experts say the area's terrain make these downpours more dangerous and potentially more deadly. residents in high-risk areas urged to evacuate. but some choosing to hunker down. why are you saying? >> because we always stay.

we rode every one of them out. even the fires, right to the door every time. >> reporter: the storm was a category four hurricane made landfall in mexico where treacherous flash floods turned roads into raging rivers. mexican authorities say one person died after their car was swept away just north of santa rosalee ya. now as california deals with the deluge, hilary's fury is moving north. tropical storm hilary has smashed any number of rainfall records as authorities survey the damage. hoda? >> a lot for the west coast to handle. erin, thank you. let's take a look now where that powerful -- still powerful system is heading. dylan in is in for al. >> the storm is weakening and the storm is picking up its forward motion. winds are still at 35 miles per hour. but you can see the rain is winding down across southern california. it's moving north at 29 miles per hour.

but we do still have the flash flood risk across parts of southern nevada, also into parts of southern california too. 26 million people are under flash flood warnings. we picked up about 2 to 4 inches which is still a lot of rain for that part of the country. but you go inland and up into the mountains. we saw about 8 to 12 inches of rain. mission creek picked up 13.54 inches of rain. more than a foot of rain. the ground doesn't absorb it quickly because it's really, really dry and all that water washes away and creates the mudslides and damage that we're seeing. you can see the center of the storm is up into idaho. that's where the heaviest rain is going to fall later today. we'll see additional amounts of rain across parts of california. it's winding down. down through nevada too. the next round of heavy rain will be across eastern oregon and up into idaho. >> dylan, thank you so much.

let's move to washington state now where crews are battling dangerous wildfires that have led to evacuations and a state of emergency. those fires still burning out of control. jesse kirsch is in washington for us. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this is incident command for the gray fire. officials say this fire has destroyed the most structures and has threatened the largest population of washington state residents. hundreds of firefighters are working around the clock to battle this blaze which at this hour is still burning out of control. this morning as the summer of wild weather and vicious wild fires contues, blazes raging overnight in the northwest. the oregon road fire turning structures into rubble. so far fires causing 25,000 acres to burn in spokane county ale. the gray fire burning more than 10,000 acres. >> we saw a big plume in the air. and we were like, oh, that looks

close. >> reporter: sparked friday claiming roughly 185 structures in its path, forcing evacuation orders for thousands. mary cox and her daughter lisa were told to get out. >> if our home is there, fine. if it's not, we'll just take it as it comes. >> reporter: while the city of medical lake ravaged. >> i just can't imagine what medical lake is going through. there's going to be a lot of displaced people. >> also burning, a smaller winona fire. the trio of fires fueled by excessive heat and high winds. the governor touring an evacuation shelter sunday. >> you have to understand we're up against a monster here that we never felt before. that's climate change. >> reporter: some families now holding on to memories after leaving so much behind. people like melissa thurman who says her home burned down. >> reporter: when you lay eyes on that, what goes through your

mind? >> i can't explain the feeling that everything you worked for is gone. you know, yeah. so there is going to be insurance and stuff, but it doesn't make up for, you know, what you see when you see all of your stuff turned to ash. >> reporter: so much devastation out here. officials say they found one person dead in the gray fire zone. another dead in the oregon fire zone. however, officials have not confirmed if those deaths were caused by the wildfires. we'll be looking for an update there. there is some rain in the forecast which should calm things down. but it's expected, these fires will still be battled for weeks. >> that rain can't get there soon enough. thank you so much. meanwhile, officials in hawaii now say it could take weeks to complete the entire search of the burn zone on maui. later today, president biden, if first lady, they're both going to be traveling there to meet with survivors and first responders. miguel almaguer joins us now with the latest. let's start with the president's trip.

what can we expect from that? >> reporter: craig, the president and the first lady are expected in lahaina. they will visit the heart of the burn zone and spend some time. they're not being welcomed here by all. there is some concern when the president arrives here he could have several road closures in progress in the wake of his visit. those roads are used to distribute clothing and food and items that people need. there is concern about that. there's been issues raised about fema's help, and that initial $700 payment. some have criticized that payment saying it is simply not enough to rebuild their homes and their lives. all eyes will be on the president. the burn zone is 85% complete, the search there for the missing. the death toll still stands at 114. the number of unaccounted for was at 2200. that dropped down over the weekend to about 1300.

the good news today at this hour, it stands at 850. but, though, it is still a devastatingly high number of people who are still unaccounted for, craig. >> that's still a lot of missing people. you mentioned fema and the response. as you know, a lot of folks still asking a lot of questions about whether they did enough and whether they did it soon enough. what's been the latest there on the reaction to the disaster. >> reporter: craig, hawaii's governor spoke over the weekend saying he wished the sirens had been sounded. a few days ago, maui's top official resigned under pressure saying he did not regret citing those sirens. he cited health conditions for his resignation. but the governor said he wished those sirens had been sounded. it may have given folks more time to evacuate, especially with that devastate toll and the concern that it can continue to climb. meantime, the atf remains here on the ground. they're looking for the source of this fire, what caused this blaze. that is, of course, a major

question here, not just for victims, but also for survivors, craig. >> all right. miguel almaguer for us oncn in . thank you. two u.s. soldiers were arrested this weekend after the stabbing death of a man at a carnival in germany. police say it happened in the small town of wittlich in western germany. they say a 28-year-old man was stabbed to death during the fight. the two u.s. soldiers have not been identified. they have been handed over to authors who will take charge of the case in accordance with nato statues. the first republican debate now just two days away and donald trump, who will not attend that debate, faces a friday deadline to surrender to authorities in georgia after his fourth criminal indictment nbc's kristin welker is on the campaign trail in iowa with the latest and also with the results of a new nbc news poll just out this morning fresh off the presses.

kristin, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning to you. our new poll, a partnership with nbc news, the "des moines register" and mediacom shows former president trump with the largest republican caucus lead in the poll since 2000 when george w. bush won the state but there are gettable debates, which means it could be pivotal. he may be skipping this week's debate but our new poll of republican caucusgoers shows former president trump with a commanding lead over the gop field, more than 20 points ahead of his closest rival florida governor ron desantis 42 to 19%, while mr. trump is now facing four criminal indictments, nearly two-thirds of caucusgoers don't believe he has committed a serious crime. we spoke to some of those poll respondents. >> i think it is just blown out of proportion, the whole thing.

>> i felt like he was making a mockery of the office for his own enrichment and, yes, i did not appreciate it. >> reporter: with five months until the caucuses, a majority of respondents say they haven't made up their mind mr. trump says he's not only passing up wednesday night's debate, but he may decide to skip the next one too. he's expected to turn himself into authorities in georgia later this week following his indictment with 18 co-defendants on racketeering charges tied to his alleged efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss in georgia. he has denied any wrongdoing still, mr. trump's rivals are sure to face questions about his legal troubles in the debate, includes north dakota governor doug burgum. >> i think so, but he will lose to joe biden if you look at the current polls. >> reporter: meanwhile trump rival florida governor ron desantis is facing backlash from the trump campaign for his

comments in a recent interview, apparently criticizing some trump supporters. >> if all we are are listless vessels that follow whatever comes down the pipe on truth social, that's not a durable movement >> you mentioned the former president turning himself before the end of the week in georgia, any new developments in the special counsel's classified case against former president trump? >> reporter: well, in fact, there is a new development, craig. former president trump pleaded not guilty to charges related to his alleged mishandling of classified documents he said he declassified documents before leaving the white house. over the weekend, abc news out with a report not confirmed by nbc saying former trump chief of staff mark meadows told the special counsel that he was not aware of any broad effort to declassify documents before leaving the white house.

effectively undercutting mr. trump's argument no response from meadows or the special counsel. but the trump campaign is blasting this and calling it a witch-hunt and confusing them of selectively leaking information. all right. 7:16 we led with the weather. it is time to revisit it. >> good morning, guys. there is a lot going on besides the remnant of hilary. we also have record-breaking heat continuing down south, especially down through texas. this stretches in the upper midwest. in the northeast, highs today in the mid to upper 90s back b behind thisis beautifulu front hehere, it is s going to temperatures back down into much more comfortable areas like the mimid-70s, so o enjoy thatat that's's a look atat the weathtr acacross the c country we'll lolook at yourur local forecastst coming upup in 30 seconds.

england and green bay. >> a rookie cornerback for the patriots was attempting to make a tackle when he collided with a teammate he laid motionless for several minutes. eventually he was taken to the hospital and that scene all too familiar for the football community seven months after damar hamlin collapsed on the field sam brock joins us now with the latest details on this good morning. >> reporter: good morning. thankfully, positive news for isaiah bolden this morning the patriots signed him after a series of evaluations. he was released from the hospital he returned on sunday with his teammates to foxborough. the patriots have not identified the nature of his injury but the nfl acted to quickly suspend the game players' safety, top of mind a regular preseason game quickly elevated to something much more serious saturday >> immediately calling for the

medical team off the sideline. >> reporter: isaiah bolden went for a tackle but collided with a teammate, ending up on the field motionless for minutes >> patriots players taking a knee packers too. >> reporter: players praying with bolden ultimately carried off on a stretcher both coaches backing the decision to suspend play with more than ten minutes left. >> i appreciate the way the league handle it that was the right thing to do. >> it is a scary situation one you never want to see in our game. >> reporter: the team writing after undergoing a series of evaluations and being held overnight for observations, isaiah bolden has been released. returning home on the team bus and posting on social media, appreciate the prayers more excited to be back with the guys it follows another weekend scare with buccaneers quarterback who suffered a neck injury and also needed to be stretchered off the

rightfully so. data points are encouraging on that front as you talk about the guardian caps, that has reduced concussions in training camps some 52% according to the nfl. they also just changed the kickoff rules so when a player makes a fair catch before the 25 yard line, they start at the 25, instead of the 20, incentivizing players to not try the kickoff which do result in violent concussions. we know that number is projected to go down by 15% on kickoff the chief medical officer says this is an ongoing process and they're expected to make more changes especially as it concerns the safety of the helmets. >> sam brock for us in miami. thank you. also this morning, tributes are pouring in forever ron cephas jones who passed away over the weekend anne thompson is here with a look on his life and career. >> good morning. ron cephas jones' death is

the same year. the accolades continued on y where jones was nominated for a tony in a play, just a year after receiving a double lung transplant but this morning it is ron cephas jones the person, lauded by his former cast members mandy moore saying he was pure magic as a human and an artist i will treasure all of the moments forever. and sterling k. brown who played randall pierson writing, one of the most wonderful people the world has ever seen is no longer with us. the world is a little less bright >> this is quite sad, isn't it the end? >> oh, i don't know. the way i see it, if something makes you sad when it ends, it must have been pretty wonderful when it was happening.

>> though you know jones from tv, it is the stage that nurtured him and where he honed his talent both on and off broadway telling the "new york times," my whole life has been the stage. and for those of you who looked at jasmine and thought, where do i know her she originated the role of peggy skyler in "hamilton. >> the legacy continues. still to come this morning, how the search for answers to a little boy's health struggles unlocked a life-saving medical mystery for his father. plus vicky is in the studio with a money-saving travel hack that's growing in popularity but apparently the airlines are not happy about it. >> have you heard about skiplagging? peoplele are usingng it to sava bucks. but the e airlines a are initia a crackdkdown. what you n need to knonow on "today."

7:42, en profundidad en depth today. as travel demands surge, more people are looking for bargains when they are trying to book flights. there is a controversial tactic they're using. it's called skiplagging and the airlines are taking notice vicky nguyen is here with the details. >> it can help travelers save hundreds of dollars on their tickets. but many airlines say it goes against their policies, and now they are starting to crack down. it's been called an open secret in flying for years. >> do you know what hidden city ticketing is. >> reporter: hidden city ticketing, also known as skiplagging. >> you said you were flying new york to denver. >> yeah, we are. >> it says we're flying to los angeles with a layover in denver >> reporter: when a traveler purchases a ticket with the connecting flight but gets off at the layover airport instead of the final destinations.

>> you can save hundreds of dollars per ticket that's why hidden city ticketing works. >> reporter: for instance, a nonstop flight may cost hundreds of dollars but a flight with a layover could be half the price at 130 for some, the choice is simple buy the cheaper ticket and skip is second flight to dallas but that decision comes at your own risk most major carriers including american, delta, united and southwest airlines all prohibit the practice and, though, it's not illegal, now american is cracking down filing a lawsuit against the travel website skiplag, accusing the company of deceptive ticketing practices and tricking customers into believing they've gained access to a secret loophole >> you look fresh. >> i travel with skiplag. >> reporter: expose even efficiencies in airline prices such as hidden pricing

it lists precautions this morning, you might upset the airline, so don't do this often. failure to comply with airline rules can have consequences. >> they can deny you boarding. they can confiscate frequent flier miles, even in some cases suspend you for a length of time from flying that airline. >> reporter: in june, american airlines canceled a north carolina teen's trip and made him purchase a direct flight after discovering his hidden city ticket. the family claims they purchased his ticket from skiplag and said they weren't aware of doing anything wrong cassie bought a ticket to save money. but when she checked in at the airport, she said american airlines knew she was planning to ditch her second flight. >> she's like, if you don't go to boston, you'll be banned from american airlines forever. >> reporter: she was able to cancel her trip but says she's learned her lesson about skiplagging. >> would never recommend doing it. >> yeah. some tough penalties there

we reached out to skiplag.com for comment. they have not returned our request. american airlines says hidden city tickets can create larger operational issues with checked bags and prevent other travelers from getting seats >> so then why is it that sometimes these tickets come out cheaper even though the routes are longer >> it is so counterintuitive that's what's frustrated to passengers airlines look at demands, whether consumers want a nonstop and they price accordingly, which is why consumers have found this hack. >> you can tell why they'd be frustrated saying i'm paying $100 more to go half the distance. >> people are saving money. >> i'm not sure it is worth the risk of a lifetime ban that poor woman. american said they would ban me for life. >> all the airlines say it is against their policies, not against the law. it is up to them to decide how directly they want to enforce the policy. >> people say, it is a legitimate website, so what's

wrong with it. >> you might have just killed skiplag. >> don't kill the messenger. >> thank you, vicky. >> have you guys heard of skip bagging. >> oh, god >> when you are on vacation and you don't see your bags ever again. >> you never got your bags >> no bag. >> i need to know. i'm not on your hour i don't have your details. >> someone in italy is wearing all of dylan's clothes right now. >> enjoy that worn-in t-shirt. we have extreme heat in texas where we have excessive heat warnings issued again. there have been more excessive heat warnings issued this summer alone than the past four summers combined it has been exceptionally hot and there is no change in sight. we have this area of high pressure it's keeping the heat around high temperatures around 106 degrees in dallas today. 110 is your feels-like temperature. springfield 113 degrees. nashville will feel like 107

hilary causing widespread flooding. erin mclaughlin joins us now with the latest on this. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. here in southern california, commuters are waking up to scenes like this. this lake is so full of water that this roadway is completely flooded. just one example of the flooding from tropical storm hilary with flood watches in effect for americans, 25 millions of them from california all the way up to idaho. officials are especially concerned about those low-lying desert areas as well as the mountains. one part of san bernardino county overnight the mudslide was so intense that it cut off a fire station and then in palm springs overnight, the 911 system completely shut down. intense flooding there as this storm swept in on sunday.

as the rain was fallen, there was an earthquake to the north of los angeles in ojai, california. a 5.1 magnitude earthquake. no serious reports of damage or injuries in ojai, but when it comes to hurricane hilary, given that it has smashed any number of rainfall records, it's a very different story, it could take days for authorities to assess the damage in this area. hoda? >> erin mclaughlin, thank you so much. everyone is wondering where this powerful storm is headed next. hey, dylan. >> it's moving north quickly at 29 miles per hour. you can see most of the heavy rain has exited southern california. although just to the west of las vegas, we do still have some areas of heavier rain. winds are at 35 miles per hour. it's a bit gusty. and we have flash flood warnings in effect. in southern california and southern nevada too. flood watches extend into idaho and oregon.

so far we've picked up 2 to 4 inches of rain. that was right along the coast in california. up into the mountains, that's where we saw 8 to 12 inches of rain and that's what caused the mudslides and the debris flows because the water pulls all of that mud down. we are going to see some of our heaviest rain move into idaho this afternoon and evening. we're looking at 2 to 3 inches of rain. some areas closer to 4. craig? >> we'll come back to you in just a few inches. the murder of a southern california store owner over the weekend being investigated as a possible hate crime. laurie carlton was shot after someone to someone took issue with a rainbow pride flag displayed outside her clothing shock in lake arrowhead the suspect was shot and killed by officers after a confrontation. carlton was a mother of nine and a beloved member of the local community there.

a local soeadvocacy group says carlton did not identify as lgbtq plus but was an advocate for everyone in the community. another case of locally acquired malaria in maryland it comes after a series of locally contracted cases this summer seven in florida and one in texas. dr. natalie say azar is here wi what you should know about malaria. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> can you put this into context, how common is it to get malaria in the u.s. and how worried should we be >> the u.s. sees 2,000 cases of malaria a year the cases are typically imported, people bringing malaria back what makes the cases news worthy, these were locally acquired in fact, the one -- the strain in maryland is one that is known to cause more severe disease than the other ones in florida and texas.

the cdc actually issued an alert in june, i don't know if you guys recall that, it was as much for public awareness as it was for healthcare providers to have malaria on the radar in case they see cases of unexplained fever to be thinking about that. >> let's talk about how you know you may have gotten stung. they're all over the place what kind of reaction should be expected >> what makes it challenging, you guys, is that early on in mild illness, the symptoms of malaria can mimic things like the flu, fever, headache, vomiting, diarrhea but it can cause more severe disease and even death if it's not treated early. >> what do you do if you manage to contract malaria? >> we have very effective treatments there are pills as well ass i v treatments but prevention, prevention, prevention

limit the amount of exposure and risk with mosquitos. you can wear loose clothing, remove standing water and if you are traveling to a malaria endemic area, ask your doctor about prophylaxis. it's about awareness more. common things are common if you get sick, is it likely to be malaria not necessarily, but we want people to know. >> let's move now to the world track and field championships in budapest the fastest man in the world is american noah lyles. >> noah lyles is going to have to find something special. it's noah lyles! world championship >> you just saw the whole race

generations of their family. ways both visible and unknown. while 1 in 5,000 people have the gene which can be passed down to their children, many don't know they carry it. and for some, it could be life threatening. kailey anderson remembers when she first noticed the early warning signs in her baby boy parker. >> he was about six months old we woke up in the middle of the night one night and he was struggling to breathe and his chest was super caved in. >> reporter: a years long search for answers led doctors to ted for marfan syndrome. a disorder that can damage the skeleton, eyes, blood vessels and heart. three in four people with the syndrome inherit it. >> he's very special to me >> reporter: many people are tall and thin with usually long arms, legs and fingers like parker's father, evan and while searching for answers about their son's condition,

parker's parents made a startling discovery. despite living 30 years of his life with no noticeable symptoms of the disorder, both parker and his father were positive for marfan syndrome. >> how do you explain the feeling of that lightbulb moment >> it's surreal. growing up, i was healthy and i realized that, oh, i -- i have major issues >> evan's long limbs were an advantage on the basketball court allowing him to play division i basketball at the university of wisconsin. now he knew the dangerous condition impacting his son's body is also ravaging his and his life was at risk the ct scan showed that the syndrome was weakening his aorta causing it to expand like a balloon. he needed surgery fast lucky for evan, at the mayo clinic just two hours from the family's home was one of only a

hand of the of surgeons in the world with extensive experience in the repair he needed. >> he was very lucky i have to say. a lot of these patients do not have any symptoms. because the ayoreaorta starts getting bigger until it's too late. >> reporter: it was after the surgery that they told us how close they were to losing evan. >> he told me i had two months left >> it's crazy. >> reporter: an intervention that might never have happened if not for parker. >> do you feel like your son saved your life? >> he definitely did >> reporter: as for parker, doctors check his heart regularly and so far he looks like just. but he's had to learn to live life at a slower pace. >> he did a basketball camp. he loved it. sorry, bud, you can't do that anymore. >> one of the biggest things that hit me hard was the fact

that i won't be able to teach him, coach him certain things through sports i feel like i'll have to try to teach him through a different route. >> what fish do you catch on this one >> bass? >> reporter: parker is taking on new hobbies like fishing with his dad and hero by his side >> seeing him smile and enjoy life, it touches my heart. >> reporter: a father's heart now healthy and full with every day spent with his family. >> now this surgery has a very high success rate. that is when the patient is operated on in time by one of the few doctors who can perform it the andersons stressed how lucky they were to live within two hours of one of those highly qualified surgeons the proximity might have made all the difference. >> how do the doctors know to test evan when he didn't have any health problems. >> he lived so much of his life thinking he was heavy, but he had these signs of the syndrome. you could see how tall he was there.

the long arm span. and he has superflexible joints parker to be tested for it initially. but because evan could and then was positive, it led to parker being tested. here he is at 7 years old. he will move through the world more carefully. >> the timing was so right for that family in th thank you. happy to have you sitting here. >> good to see you >> how are we looking in the weather department >> in california, we are going to have some improvements as hilary continue to lift north. we'll start to see some heavier rain through eastern oregon, also through idaho later this afternoon into this evening. it is hot down south, down across texas, temperatures will feel like it's 115 degrees that's extending up into the midwest. good morning. i'm meteorologist kari hall. we are still seeing scattered

activist and koala whisperers. that morning, they got news of a sighting by a residential driveway, high above in a eucalyptus tree, there he is. >> they're so cute >> the iconic face of this country, snacking, scratching, but mostly snoozing as he does 20 hours a day he appears healthy and this in the wild is rare >> koalas mean australia and koalas are like the face of our forest we might lose them from the wild this century. >> reporter: dr. blanch of wwf australia was part of the team that got the australian government to list koalas as an endangered species nationwide, the rough total estimate is half of what it was 20 years ago, 350,000 koalas

the fear is the rapid decline and extinction in eastern parts of the country by 2050 they face an expanding urban population, habitat destruction, the highest rates of deforestation of any developed country, disease and the threat of climate change which australia knows well >> a bit like the bush fires in maui we lose thousands of koalas. they burn to death we need to globally stop climate change otherwise, we won't have koalas in the wild. >> reporter: back in 2019, bush fires ripped through nearly 60 million acres of australia, displacing or eliminating 3 billion animals. but one of the ways wwf australia is working to grow the population now is with drones to

seed the areas and we spotted a second koala. >> you almost sound hopeful. i'm hearing a little bit of hope >> i have hope it's hard. >> reporter: we can help >> maybe >> reporter: at sidney's zoo, their 19 koalas are a priority and they're breeding for an insurance population >> hi, i'm molly >> one of the things i love about koalas, they're a flapship species. >> reporter: the doctor says it's a clear choice. >> we can have coal or koalas, we can't have both. >> reporter: pointing out the latest development plans threatening koalas, pat and barry are still fighting. >> any hope? any optimism
