>> announcer: this morning's "eye opener" presented by toyota. let's go places. captioning funded by cbs welcome to "cbs this morning." good monday morning to you. gayle king is on assignment, so bianna golodryga is with us. they face a major new threat amid rising water levels. severe flooding is reported all over the carolinas and rain is still falling in some places. a major city is isolated and the flood risk extend 2/s 250 miles from the coast. >> some areas have seen more than 30 inches of rain since thursday. north carolina officials report over 900 water rescues across the state. think about that. this morning flood watches and warnings stretch all the way across pennsylvania where the remains of florence are headed. these pictures in fayetteville show how difficult it is to move around. demarco morgan is 40 miles south

of it where the flooding has been nonstop for days. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. pembroke is just one of the residential areas. the rain has stopped at least for now, but now authorities are keeping a close eye on levees and rivers that are now under pressure. all eyes are on lumberton, north carolina this morning. relentless rain from florence caused the river to swell, rising overnight to more than 24 feet in an already inundated city. emergency officials and volunteers have been working around the clock to keep the river at bay. as florence raised friday they sand bagged the area where hurricane matthew had rushed in two years ago. as you can see, the sand bags did not work. this is lumber river. >> the priority is getting

people out. the so-called cajun navy, a rescue team from louisiana helped transfer residents from a nursing home. a few miles away, firefighters raced sunday to rescue people trapped in homes surrounded by rain. jessica locklear and her two young children were rescued as floodwaters started creeping into her home. >> can't swim, and i don't want my babies to drown. >> reporter: the firefighters and local volunteers going through treacherous conditions. to the north downtown fayetteville sunday water and could be more submerged when the cap fear river is expected to crest this week around 62 feet. >> when they crest, this is really going get serious. >> reporter: authorities are also keeping a close eye on the hope mills dam. that's near fayetteville after

concerns overnight indicate it may fail. it could take a couple of weeks before power is fully restored. bianna. >> as expected, water is expected to continue to rise. dionerco, thank you. we've learn more of the deaths killed during florence. the victims include a 3-month-old baby when a tree fell on a home. mark carter king and debora collins rion died when a generator failed in their home and rhonda hartley was killed when her pickup truck hit a tree as she tried to drive through standing water. >> floodwaters have cut off the city of wilmington from the rest of north carolina. the rainfall total is higher than it's been for more than a century. the roads in and out are blocked no matter where you try to go.

david begnaud is in castle haine oust side where he's leaving. david, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. we're standing on 40. wilmington is in front of me and behind me is the rest of the world. we're essentially kitds ocut of. streets and roadways have been washed away. we went to the community of bishop and near the stoney creek neighborhood, we saw rescuers with fema evacuating families and pets from a subdivision where homes have water up to nearly the rooftops. from there we noticed people trying to drive through the floodwater including a man named william who was hauling in equipment. when we found him, he said, listen, i don't have cellphone service. would you call my wife and let

her know i'm okay. we did, but we also called the 911 to let them know his location. they found out they can drive in supplies. today they're going to figure out a roy toy drive in food for 60,000 people for four days. initially the route they had is cut off by floodwaters. they have 18-wheelers. we don't know when it's going happen, but enough food for 60,000 people is on the way. back to you. >> a reminder of how dire the situation is. david, thank you so much. thousands of other victims are having trouble getting food, water, and other necessities. people waited for hours to get fuel, hot snacks and more. many places are only accepting cash. >> it was a lot before we opened. >> please be patient.

we will get you taken care of. >> we've been everywhere for gas. there's no gas anywhere but here, so you have to be patient. >> i have never seen this before. i've been through hurricanes before, but i have never seen one like this. >> that gas station allowed customers to buy only $20 at a time. the waffle house limited their items to two items and coffee. we're going to ride along with the coast guard rescue crew and their rescue. the nomination for president trump's supreme court faces turmoil after a woman publicly accused him of sexual assault for the first time. the woman, christine blasey ford told her story to the "washington post." she accuses kavanaugh of pinning her to a bed in the 1980s when they were both in high school. nancy cordes is on capitol hill with the latest. good morning. >> good morning. the major new development this

morning is that ford has offered to testify publicly about the alleged incident, and kavanaugh said he's willing to testify as well. senate republicans are still trying to figure out what to do. they're very worried about allowing a scheduled confirmation vote in committee to slip, but they may have no choice. democrats are going even further. they want the fbi to investigate. 51-year-old christine blasey ford told the "washington post" that kavanaugh pinned her on a bed on her back and groped her over her clothes at a party when she was 15 and he was 17. when she tried to scream, she says, he put his hand over her mouth. he was trying to attack me and remove my clothing. i thought he might inadvertently kill me. ford is a psychology in california who initially sought to remain anonymous but spoke on the record with the "post's"

emma brown after she wrote congress. >> she said they weren't repeating her story right and she wanted to tell the story herself. kavanaugh said, i categorically and unequivocally deny this zbags. carrie severino says the allegation is at odds with other witnesses to kavanaugh's character. >> someone who passed six different background checks with over 25 years in public service without a whisper of misconduct, it just doesn't add up. >> reporter: ford described a rape attempt.

they called it very credible and urged the fbi to take statements. >> it would be an insult to the women of america and to the integrity of the supreme court. >> the top republican on the senate judiciary committee is downplaying this story as, quote, an uncorroborated allegation from more than 35 years ago, but at least one republican on the committee, arizona's jeff flake, says he wants to know more before he votes. the white house says its position on kavanaugh has not changed. >> nancy, thank you. deboradebra, good morning. >> good morning. >> let me ask you this. will your client be willing to testify under oath? >> my client will do whatever is needed so they have the full

story and the full set of allegations to allow them to make a fully informed decision. >> but testifying in public under oath in front of the senate judiciary committee with the american people watching, that's an enormous amount of pressure. is she willing to go that far? >> she's willing to do what she needs to do. she's willing to hopefully tell her story in a manner that is a fair proceeding. unfortunately what we're already hearing this morning is that the republicans intend to play hard ball, they intend to grill her. this is not an exercise that is designed to get at the truth. this is an exercise designed to terrify somebody who's already been traumatized. >> why does your client believe judge kavanaugh's alleged behavior in high school take away from his becoming supreme court justice?

>> she hasn't taken a position. she told an account. but she has not taken a position that he should not be confirmed. >> you're saying republicans are going to try to grill your client. explain your sense then where in this complicated place right now and with this particular story when allegations are made it's very important for everybody to take those quite seriously. on the other hand, there is an inquiry process that has to take place to find out what the truth of things are, but in asking questions, it can sound like grilling. how does one find the balance between asking probing questions and not seeming like you're doubting the accuser or allowing anybody to come forward with it. >> i think intention matters. i think if we're trying to engage in a committee hearing to get at the truth, a highly

politicized one like the one we're in is not designed to do that. >> that's a question on how dianne feinstein handled this letter and this allegation. the letter was dated july 30th, and your client wrote, as stipulated, i understand you'll keep this contained until we speak. >> she's very satisfied with how dianne feinstein handled this allegation. she did come forward with this letter, she said, on july 30th. she did have a conversation with the senator who made it clear she thought these allegations were important and that they were serious, and her staff checked in with us routinely. >> deborradebra, she said the o were stumbling drunk. was your client drinking?

>> my client was not stumbling drunk. another wrote about him being stumbling drunk. they were repeatedly, routinely. this was part of their culture. >> and i know, debra, she has accounts from her husband and from her therapist in around 2012 to corroborate her story. did she tell anyone about what happened, though, at the time of the incident? >> she did not. like many trauma victims, especially young trauma victims, they try to put it away and go forward with their heads and try to minimize it. unfortunately this issue continues to come up and be extremely problematic in her adult life including with her husband. this came up in couples therapy in which she had disclosed this traumatic event.

it was so traumatizing, she continued to have the anxiety and aftermath effects that really have defined her life in a significant way. >> debra katz, thank you so muc ining tmorning. thank you for having me. >> we should note that mark judge has not responded to our request for comment. he told us on friday, quote, i never saw anything like what was described. texas investigators described a u.s. border patrol agent accused in the deaths of four women as a serial killer. juan david ortiz is charged with four counts of murder and other crimes. he was caught after the dramatic escape of a fifth woman. omar villafranca has more, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. ortiz is in jail after detectives say he went on a two-week killing spree. his victims?

women. some were protty substitutes. he was apparently working as a border patrol agent. his life caught up with him when one victim managed to escape. ortiz killed two women in the days before picking up erica benya on friday. she fled to a gas station where she asked for help. he picked up two more women before authorities found him and arrested him in a hotel parking lot early saturday morning. in a statement they sarksd our sincerest condolences gout out to the victims' family and friends. ortiz worked for the border patrol for about ten years. they believe he acted alone. he's not going anywhere. he's in jail on a $2.5 million bond. >> omar, thank you. sunniee preven breaks her

the accusations and says she's only recently felt compelled to tell her side of the story. in an interview with "new york" magazine published sunday night, soon-yi spoke on her husband. he says her adoptive mother mia farrow is behind the claims. mia has taken advantage of the "me too" movement, she says in the article, and has paraded dylan as a victim, and a whole new generation is hearing about it when they shouldn't. >> i want to show my face and tell my story. i want to speak out literally. >> reporter: back in january she described incident to gayle king. >> let's go to august 4th, 1992. and if you could tell us what happened that day. >> i was taken to a small attic crawl space in my mother's

up by evidence. in an article soon-yi also spoke at length about the tumultuous relationship with her mother describing them as oil and water. she said mia had a tendency to play favorites and showed her power by slapping soon-yi. she said, it's hard for someone to imagine, but i can't come up with a pleasant memory. ronan farrow also released a statement defending his mother. i owe everything i am to mia farrow. she's a devoted mom who went through hell for her family, all while creating a loving home for us. following the publications, several journalists took to social media criticizing the magazine for allowing a pdecades-long friend of allen t write the piece. the publication defended its

new research new research raises questions about aspirin therapy where people take daily low doses of the drug. three reports in the "new england journal of medicine" found that among healthy senior

citizens the death rate for those taking aspirin was higher than for those who did not. the study found an increased risk of certain types of internal bleeding among those who take the drug and no significant cardiac benefit. our dr. david agus is in los angeles with more. dr. agus, a lot of people take this preemptively, a third of americans over 40 take a low dose daily aspirin. should they stop? >> it's a complicated picture and one that is confusing and that's why we're talking about it this morning. first of all, this is for prevention so people who have existing heart disease, no question they should continue their aspirin if their doctor told them to. there have been studies done showing people age 50 when you start an aspirin there's a clear benefit in this study it was ages people 70 and older. >> so what are the current recommendations for people who should take a daily low dose aspirin? >> this the this study 70 and

older, no benefit and potentially some harm. at age 50, there's a clear benefit in people who have high risk for heart disease that's greater than 10% and a benefit on cancer, particularly colon cancer, in that study. in age 60 and above, it's the decision of the doctor and patient together. so the bottom line is talk to your doctor, make a personal decision based on age and risk factor. this is an important study and a well-done study and it means if you haven't started in your fifth or sixth decades, don't start at age 70 based on these data. >> i've heards about taking a baby aspirin after you've had a heart event. people who claimed their lives were saved from that. what's your guidance on that issue? >> 100%. clearly during chest pain taken a aspirin. after a heart event that data is clear that you need to continue taking an aspirin no matter what age you are if your doctor says it's appropriate for your situation. >> so for those between 40 and

60 who haven't started taking a daily low-dose aspirin and are thinking about it, should they or should they consult their doctor first? >> 100% consult your doctor and have a discussion. a data in the clinical trial start at age 50 and with a significant risk of heart disease there's a benefit and there's a benefit on cancer that you see after taking the drug for five years and that continues for up to 15 years so it the a confusing area. the interesting part is when many studies were done 20 and 30 years ago we took less statins, we smoke more and we were smaller. we've grown larger since so it's hard to say do the old studies apply now or not? it's a confusing area and we'll get more data over the next several years but the data are clear. age 50 have the discussion, 60 have the discussion. >> i'm so glad you're here, dr. agus, even this morning in the newsroom and amongst the crew talking about this, some are like oh, gosh, another study, i guess i'm not supposed to be taking aspirin and you have

clarified this is about a specific age group and the overwhelming data is clear that it does have benefits, correct? >> yes, one size fits all is not a blikable so aspirin is a powerful drug but the discussion with your doctor needs to happen. >> dr. david agus, always good to see you, thank you so much. ahead, the important message from a young girl who was the first to do a very important job in all 30 big league ballparks. you're watching cbs "this morning."

as i said, as it gets closer to the atlantic and starts to recharge that moisture around boston and new york, we may see some additional heavy rainfall there. river flooding, though, here across the carolinas will be a big, big concern moving forward. the flash flooding will start to dissipate and go down a bit through time especially because we have sunshine right now. but looking at the river flood risk through the end of the week we're likely talking about at least 19 river gauges in major or even to record flood levels. and that's all across the carolinas. so while the threat was originally a little bit farther east, it now spreads all the way west to the state line. >> great visuals there to help put things into perspective and get a sense of how huge florence really was and how many states are affected. thank you so much, megan. one military couple escaped from florence just before giving birth. danielle digregorio was nine months pregnant when she and her

talk space as well, it's online therapy. it's accessible whenever you want. that's something that's so unique about the company that, you know, i'm always on the move n nd a message tomy phonend therapist, i can face time her. >> what about those of us who love somebody who has depression, what do we need to know about? >> just support. honestly, just trying to keep open communication. i have a few friends that always come to me and it's something that i always enjoyed helping. but i think the biggest thing is just making sure yew kmocommunie with them, trying to get things out. because somebody who knows how easy it is to stuff things down, it's not good when they come up. it's good to make sure you're open and communicating is one thing that's very, very important. and always also trying to get them to get help if they need it. talk to somebody. for me, i'm somebody who might not want to talk to my wife or brother or my sisters or my

friends. i might want a third party. so that, for me, that's what's works for me. i think everybody's different. >> and you've been open about communicating with other olympic athletes who suffered from mental health issues. >> i think there are a lot of us that, athletes and celebrities, that whun% go through it. >> we're happy to see you healthy and thriving, father of two little boys, maybe more to come. >> future swimmers? >> if they want to be. >> or golfers, right? >> i'd rather be like leaderboard of the masters but, you know, it's just a -- i don't know. we'll see. whatever they choose will be great. >> michael phelps, they have big shoes to fill. >> thanks, guys. >> and you can hear more of "cbs this morning" including extended interviews and original content on our podcast available on you could generate your own energy,
