good morning, everybody, welcome to "today." it is a thursday morning. we've been watching matthew for days and now it seems the very path we feared it would be on is the path it is taking. >> the breaking news on matthew is not good news because the storm is now intensifying this morning as it inches towards the united states. >> now, millions in florida and georgia and south carolina have been told to evacuate and thest could spell double trouble for the region. we have all of this covered but let's start with al in i know the forecasts are coming fast and furious now. >> they really are now and this could be the worst case scenario. you can see matthew is a category 3 but we expect it to start to intensify as the forward motion begins. here is what we're looking for. it is a close call. the snow storm center by late tonight, early tomorrow morning will be 15 miles off shore. if that shifts a little bit to the west, those 140 miles an

coastline for hours. it will continue through saturday morning up to jacksonville as a category 2 storm, again, pounding the coastline, sunday morning, it makes a turn out into the atlantic but then as we move into monday, it starts to create what we could see, a loop. there is another storm system throughout that could keep this close to shore. so, this is just about as bad a scenario as you can see. we have hurricane warnings from the ha . . georgia. 11 million people under hurricane warning. 2 million under hurricane watches the impact aerkz the bahamas this morning, 10 to 18 foot storm surges. southern florida starting late tonight, wind gusts, 60 to 95 miles an hour. rain fall, three to seven, with storm surges. a 6 to 9 foot storm surge as you get into northern florida. wind gusts of 100 miles an hour. we move into friday evening.

carolinas down to georgia. wind gusts of 80 miles per hour. 15 inches of rain. the storm surge is another big problem we have to worry about. ahead of high tide, one to three feet. from miami to ft. lauderdale. three to five feet west palm beach to ft. pierce. we move up the coast to melbourne to savannah, georgia. six to nine feet. then you look at the carolina coast, three to five feet. and the rainfall amounts we're talking anywhere from five to seven inches. but between savannah and ten inches or more. and the problem is there's going to be just catastrophic possibilities of power outages, of storm surge, of flooding. and it's going to be going on the this thing does get caught up too a loop we will be talking about this into next week. >> the worst case scenario at the moment now. thanks very much. matthew is hammering the

you know, the northern edge of this hurricane is just pounding the island. the wind and the rain is incredible. we're protected up here but let me give you a look at what's going on down there. the wind and rain is so strong it is blowing sideways. the trees are bent. another concern out here is this storm surge as al mentioned. we could get swells up to 15 feet. that could wipe out most of the homes on this island. residents have boarded up the homes. many have evacuated. there are still about 3,000 the airport is closed so everybody who is here now, they are stuck. and they have to wait out this storm. some tourists from a nearby hotel very evacuated from their rooms. they had to sleep on the floor in the ballroom. now, we were out there just a short while ago looking around and there's already a lot of damage. trees have been ripped from the ground. roads are flooded. and i'm assume that the worst is still to come because the hurricane is not quite over us. matt and savannah.

impact here in the u.s. this morning the evacuations are ramping up across the south. millions preparing for what may be a direct hit. nbc national correspondent is down in west palm this morning. miguel, good morning. >> good morning. this is usually a very busy block with foot traffic and also local restaurants. but today a much different scene. businesses here have been boarded up. so have homes in the neighborhood. we're just a block from the beach. this could be the area of impact. this morning floridians are brace for hurricane matthew. racing to get out of the way. >> i'm hoping it doesn't hit us because it's a mess. >> reporter: nearly 2 million people along the coast from florida to georgia to the carolinas warned to leave while they can. the massive slow-moving monster could be catastrophic. >> it could mean a difference between life and death. >> reporter: with some mandatory evacuations under way, roads are

bare. more members of the national guard activated to keep order while swift water rescue teams are being deployed across the region. nearly 1600 flights canceled. trains and cruise ships suspending service in south florida. the arrington family one of many packing their lives into a car. >> pictures and entertainment for the kids. that's really it. the rest is j just hoping that it all pans out. >> reporter: for several days matthew pounding the caribbean, including swaths of haiti which were decimated. not just washing away bridges but lives and communities, too. the death toll certain to climb. >> board her up and fly. >> reporter: this morning matthew is poised to strike again, moving closer to florida

away. businesses near the coast have already shut down. places like this gas station may not reopen for several days. they are bracing for the impact of this storm. it is still unclear just how devastating it will be. but folks say they will be ready for hurricane matthew when it rolls ashore. back to you guys. >> all right, miguel, thank you. by the way, we will follow matthew all morning long. a storm chaser is in the thick of the storm as it is bearing down in the bahamas right now. let us turn now campaign trail and the state of the race with just 33 days to go. donald trump and hillary clinton are sparring over this week's vice presidential debate. trump using words like incredible to describe mike pence's performance while clinton said tim kaine did a great job making pence bob and weave. >> new poll has the race tightening in the key swing state of ohio. showing up two points, 44-42%. >> and as you might expect,

pence. >> i'm getting a lot of credit because that's really my first so-called choice. >> reporter: just blocks from the white house star-studded fund-raiser hillary clinton accusing pence of being unable to defend trump. >> i think that tells you everything you need to know about who's qualified and president, even mike pence doesn't think donald trump is. >> reporter: still, despite a thumbs up from his kaine concedes he was too agress sg ive. >> the key part of the debate, i felt like i was going after donald trump and mike pence was kind of going after trump with me. >> reporter: ahead of the debate s

as the toxic smelling smoke began filling the nearby rows. >> i did see the cloud of smoke and somebody yell it is the phone, the phone caught on fire. >> it was brown, electronic smoke. the brown, green, gray, real ugly stuff. >> it was last month that samsung issued the worldwide recall offering replacements for all note 7's. >> we apologize, especially to those who were personally affected by this. >> reporter: with roughly 100 reports of its own strict orders for passenger planes. >> please, be sure that you turn that galaxy 7 off completely and please do not attempt to charge it at any time during the flight. >> brian green says his phone was replacement for his original note 7 he turned in as part of the recall. incates it should be good. samsung tells nbc news, until we're able to retrieve the device, we can't confirm that

coming up on channel 20. >> here's a look at what's happening on channel 20 for 9news 7:00 a.m. it's been more than a decade since the u.s. has seen a storm this big. now the countdown to hurricane matthew is underway and millions could be affected. cleaning up after the 2013 floods is expensive.

stepping aside while the feds look into how the town of lions is spending its federal recovery money. let's check weather and traffic with tracey anthony and -- >> lots of brake lights because there is an accident. so these accidents are on major roadways and they have been blocking lanes so causing major delays, i-25 almost completely in the red north southbound. i-225 several accidents and also on santa fe numerous accidents, one right after another so with all that rain, marty, you got to slow down a little bit today. >> i know, and it's been so long since anyone has driven in rain around here, especially rain like this. we will continue to see it around here during the course of the morning this morning with rain over the area, decreasing as we go through the afternoon. the showers have been really heavy here over the front range over the last couple of hours and, yes, we have had snow in

fallen and it's going to start tapering off here in the next couple of hours so the focus now is going to be this rain moving through the eastern plains. it's slacked off a little bit in northern colorado. we are anticipating slight rebound in the rain later in the day but really impressive rain anticipated here in the quarter inch to 1/2" rainfall amounts for us during the course of the day today.

we're back now, 7:30 on a thursday morning. it is the 6th of october, 2016. the surf starting to get pretty rough around palm beach, florida. this is in the general area where al says we can start expect landfall, if it does that, for hurricane matthew. >> in a few hours it may look very, very different there. hurricane matthew getting stronger by the moment, warnings and watches issued along the florida coast. in the meantime, we are getting a better look at the destruction matthew has already caused in haiti, including widespread flooding and mudslides. overnight the death toll there rose to at least ten.

we'll get the latest from al in a moment and also talk to a storm chaser who is being hit by the storm in the bahamas right now. in politics, donald trump taking a new approach to prepare for the next presidential debate. it is a town hall format, so today trump will practice by holding a town hall event in new hampshire, according to aides. hillary clinton, meanwhile, is preparing as she did last time with aides in washington. on "today's" campaign moment, kids say the darnedest things. political edition. listened to what happened on wednesday whenal vegas. >> i'm nervous. i'm nervous. i'm nervous. see i told you. >> can't make that stuff up. that little boy was obviously nervous. the video proving yet again kids have zero filter. >> they do not. let's get more now on hurricane matthew, it is on a

across the area. >> reporter: good morning, guys. we have kind of took a little bit of shelter here. as you can see, we were standing out, pieces of the roof of our hotel started flying off so we had to kind of back up a little bit. but major hurricane matthew is making its way toward nassau rather quickly now, continuing to strengthen. last night when we went to bed it was around 960 millibars. i bie millibars in seven hours. waves are starting to crank up pretty big behind us. pieces of roof here are coming off. we have a restaurant right behind where our room is. there goes roof right there. pieces of the roof are flying off of that. so as we continue to go through the morning hours here on nassau, at least for the next eight hours or so, i'm thinking that we are going to deal with some major hurricane conditions that are going to continue to get worse and not get better. >> brett adair, stay safe. thank you very much.

this over in our hurricane center. hey, al. >> guys, here's a point i want to make. this doesn't necessarily even have to make landfall to cause real damage. in fact, it is forecast to just stay offshore and that's going to be the problem. by tonight we start to see tropical force winds from miami up to west palm beach. then we move in to early tomorrow morning. the eye could get onshore, but even if it doesn't, you can see this area in white. these are hurricane-fords beach. we move in to friday night. we're now up around jacksonville. again, right on shore. we are talking about hurricane-force winds. the center of the eye is about 45 miles wide. all right? i should say, it's 25 miles wide. the hurricane-force winds extend out about 45 miles. again, as we move into saturday morning, you've got some those winds from savannah into charleston, all the way up into

midsection of the country. we've got an enhanced area of severe weather from des moines down to wichita. hail, wind, possibility of tornadoes. and we are looking at rainfall amounts anywhere from three to five inches in parts of kansas on in to parts of missouri. that's what's going on >> for the latest on matthew and your forecast, head to the weather channel on cable. >> good advice, al. now to a, frankly, bizarre

really have communities across the country on edge. nbc's joe fryar has the latest on it. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. those creepy clowns are making headlines from coast to coast now, in some cases there are actual clown sightings. in many other places, just hoaxes. either way, police are paying attention and making arrests. with halloween still a few weeks away, the creepy clown craze is causing quite a square. >> our children shouldn't be terrified. stay away from our >> reporter: michigan police are investigating after he says he was scratched by a clown wielding a butter knife. >> he grabbed my wrist. then he used the other hand, too. he dragged the knife from my arm slowly. >> reporter: in new jersey, officers say men wearing these masks drove around town scaring other drivers. in new york state, photos of an armed clown made the rounds on social media. police say it was a teenager

the country are rving online threats from people posing as clowns. so far police have not considered most of the threats credible, but many schools are boosting security. >> we deployed our resources, we've added out the threat, we called fbi, joint terrorism task force. we take the threat seriously. >> reporter: no one in laughing in new haven, connecticut where students banned students from b wearing clown costumes or masks this halloween season. scary sightings prompted neighbors to call 911. >> a clown last seen wearing a red nose and all white clothing asking kids if they want ice cream. >> reporter: police departments are working to calm fears. so is author steven king, the man who wrote the horror novel "it" and created the character, penny wise the clown. king tweeted, hey, guys, time to cool the clown hysteria. most of 'em are good, chief up

professional clowns. >> mostly i feel bad for the kids that have to deal with being scared of these, you know, mentally ill people. it is annoying to us as real clowns. it makes us sad that we even have to address this. >> police across the country have been tracking down and arresting teens who are making online threats against schools. they've also arrested some of those who are dressing up as clowns and scaring people in person. in fact, one man in kentucky was charged not only with disorderly in public which is a city ordinance. matt and savannah? >> joe, thank you. really not funny. just ahead, we'll turn back to politics with a live interview with the republican vice presidential candidate, mike pebs. pence. >> we're going to get the i'm jamie foxx for verizon. in the nation's largest independent study by rootmetrics, again, verizon is the number one network. hi, i'm jamie foxx for sprint. and i'm jamie foxx for t-mobile.

ing performance means. and this is where it lives. the 503-horsepower mercedes-amg c63 s coupe. we're back now at 7:42. we've got donald trump's running mate, indiana governor mike pence. morning in gettysburg, pennsylvania on the wake of this week's vice presidential's debate. so the pundits have had a couple of days now, or 36 hours, who digest your performance in the vice presidential debate. so has your running mate, donald trump, who seems to be saying, you did a great job, and he wants to take some of the credit for that because it shows he had great judgment in selecting you. isn't that a little bit like

yards for a touchdown, then saying did you see that handoff? >> well, first, before i respond to great question, great reference, too, matt, thanks. let me say our haurts and our prayers are very much with the people of florida and haiti as the hurricane matthew approaches. i hope every american is keeping our neighbors to the south in their prayers and in their hearts and we certainly people to support relief efforts that will likely be challenged in the days ahead. but with regard to that, i have to tell you, i got some people think that i won the debate the other night. i leave that to the pundits. but i honestly do believe that donald trump did win debate. it was donald trump's vision that i was describing. it was donald trump's message to make america great again and for me to be able to be there at that table share that vision

as americans was a great honor for me. >> governor, you are getting a lot of credit for your performance at this debate but a lot of people have noticed you spent time denying things that trump said that he did, in fact, say. as one paper put it, it's a clinton attack ad waiting to happen and, sure enough, take a look. >> let's start with not praising vladimir putin as a great leader. donald trump and mike pence have said he's a great leader. and donald trump has -- >> you know -- >> putin's has been a strong leader in russia. >> vladimir putin has been a stronger leader in his country than barack obama has been in this country. >> more nations should get nuclear weapons. try to defend that. >> he never said that. >> wouldn't you rather in a certain sense have joo ja pan have nuclear weapons? >> saudi arabia? >> absolutely. >> governor pence, that ad goes on for more than a minute with a bunch of kron tra dictions. i guess the question is, even though it worked in the moment, was at this time wrong approach

going to come right back to bite you the next day? >> well, i don't think so at all, savannah. the mischaracterizations and the way tim kaine and hillary clinton continue to take donald trump's statements out of context, it was something i just wasn't going to tolerate during the debate. >> those are direct quotes. >> donald trump as i have observe owe-- tim kaine said thi had said that vladimir putin was a better lead >> i corrected him. >> you said stronger leader. >> i said stronger. and, savannah, there's a difference. he was wrong, i was right. what i was observing is quite frankly that the russian reset has been a disasterous failure for hillary clinton. she said it was her number one priority when she was secretary of state. and now since the russian reset, we've seen vladimir putin exercise -- exercise the kind of strength on the world stage

invasion in ukraine and the -- now the humanitarian crisis in syria being driven by russian aggression, relationship that they have with iran. i do think -- i do think observing the small and bullying leader of russia has been stronger on the world stage for his country than hillary clinton and barack obama is just simply a statement of fact and saying that we have to change -- >> governor, on a couple of occasions tim kaine gave you a comments that donald trump has made over the course of the last year and asked you to defend them. instead of defending them you either said he really didn't say those things or you changed the subject to hillary clinton. do you find it hard -- can you say to us today that you cannot defend some of the things that donald trump has said about women and mexican immigrants and john mccain and the federal judge of mexican heritage? >> well, it's the greatest honor

shoulder with donald trump. what i think most americans saw was that after tim kaine ran through a rapid obviously memorized litany of personal insults, then he said that donald trump and i were running the insult-driven campaign. >> yeah. but in all due respect, governor, you just did it again. >> i told him i'd be happy to go line by line, let him saying that donald trump said something about all trump was talking about the whole issue of criminal aliens in the country. he conveniently omitted that donald trump has said that even many of the people that come in to this country illegally are good people. he left that out. but look, this campaign has been focused on the issues of most importance to the american people. i want to give the moderator a lot of cred it in that debate. you all have a tough job out there and you all do it well. i thought elaine did a good job keeping the debate focused on

national security, getting this economy moving again, and so to be honest with you, i'm incredibly proud to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with donald trump. we'll take on all those things. but i will point out to you that when i pointed out that hillary clinton had called half of donald trump and my supporters a basket of deplorables, tim kaine didn't say a word about that or defend that either. >> he actually did. he said that she had apologized for that statement. >> i thought it was a campaign is better for it. >> short question, governor pence. do you think that donald trump is a role model for children? >> i, frankly, think hillary clinton and donald trump have many admirable qualities that young people can look up to today. i think donald trump is a strong leader. he fights for what he believes in. he's man who we learned 20 years ago went through a very

and the smarts to marshal a real comeback. it is the kind of comeback he can lead for america. and i want to recognize hillary clinton as the first woman to be a major party nominee in american history. so there are aspects of these people -- you know, nobody's perfect. i can only think of one person in human history that's perfect. but i think there is qualities in both of these people that young people can admire. >> to be continued. >> we got to let it go there, unfortunately. governor pence, thankor appreciate it. >> good to see you. >> thank you. good to be with you. coming up, hurricane matthew matthew gaining strength on a path towards florida. what millions need to do right what millions need to do right [vacuum sound]

mentoring where you pair young girls with mentors. do you follow the young girls later in life and see how they're doing? >> well, this is a surprise. i don't know if i'm supposed to say this but it is hard to have a filter here. today we're celebrating our 10th anniversary. it is hard to believe that it was ten years ago that my daughter nicole and i put this together. and we have our first mentee coming back as a mentor. >> how great stl >> now that's really getting old. you're supposed to give back, if you can. you know that. that's the right thing to do. if you've been blessed, as i have been blessed. but when i was in the family court, i always noticed that the squeaky wheel got the oil. the kids who did the wrong thing got the computers, got the psychiatric help they needed, got the psychological help, got extra tutors, got extra, extra. and the kids who came from the same environment and who did the right thing got nothing. and that was really the

program. for women. because these young women, most are first generation going to college, need a little boost. they have the academic skills but they didn't have the rest of the stuff that they should have had to prepare themselves for the world. >> we kind of take off the subject of mentoring, you're known for your nuggets of advice. so leave me with a nugget of advice. i hate to put you on the spot but i'm going to. >> as a parent, you're supposed to figure out what your children do naturally adept at. and nurture that so that they always have a feeling of confidence, and then, as they get older, and are looking for something -- a way to make a living for the rest of their lives, they will take that thing and figure out how to make a living at what they are naturally adept at, what's been nurtured and cultivated in them as children. that's my best advice. >> that's a good piece of advice. isn't it great to do something

became a sitcom. >> yeah. i mean the show is really -- it really -- i mean it is a country song. >> like the ranch hands. >> like. it is like beer and football and your dog got run over by a train. it's like that's what the show is. >> your character is named colt. you're just a guy trying to regain high school glory, which we can all relate to. >> it is a funny thing. i think there is like a growing trend across the country people go off to pursue whatever it is that they think their career is great at. they go to college and they get a degree. then they get out of college and go, wait, there's not a job for that degree. it is like kind of the realization of your nightmare, which is like you fail at the very thing that you thought you were going to be great at. now you have to move back home with your parents and like work for your hard-nosed dad and like deal with your brother. it is like all of the adult relationships of families. >> but you get a lot of laughs out of it. >> yeah. it is definitely funny. but it is also i think has a

bent than most sitcoms which makes it really fun to act on. >> it is also potentially a big "'70s show" reunion. >> we like to work with our friends. >> basically like i've got an idea. >> a lot of these ranches are run by immigrant labor. i think it is a hot button topic in the country right now. i think for a socially conscious sitcom that's representing a conservative point of view, i think there is probabl immigration in rural mamerica. think it is important to connect. >> i feel a connection because we both have little girls that just turned 2 and we both have babies on the way. so give me some advice. >> give you -- give me advice! all my friends are like you're going from playing zone to going to man-to-man. >> that's what everyone says. >> it's like intensely scary. >> totally scary. >> plus, like the first one -- i

possibly read. this one i'm like, yeah, it's coming. like you have a recognition that they're pretty durable. you're not going to break them. and so, and how am i going to run after this one and deal with -- i thought the first one was exhausting in the beginning. i'm a little terrified, to be honest. >> it is terrifyinging. people have been talking to you about how you have to get her ready for the new baby. >> yeah! there is is a whole pattern. don't be the -- like -- i'm sure my parents were holding someone when something and like and we're okay. >> i know. i know. it is so exciting though. is wyatt excited? >> she like -- she points at mila and she's like baby brother when she points to the belly. then she points to dad and she goes beer. and so i think she gets there's something in the belly. but i don't quite think that she knows that it is not going to be a plastic doll yet.

we are looking at west palm beach up to melbourne to see the significant effects from this storm with winds tomorrow morning perhaps up near 145 miles per hour. keep in mind, hurricane-force winds only extend about 25 to 40 miles outside of the center of this storm, so if this storm is only 15 miles offshore, we could see the entire east central coast of florida be raked with hurricane-force winds causing damage, causing coastal flooding. that storm surge, and also significant rainfall, too. it should weaken to a category 2 storm as it is just off the coast of georgia, and then it takes this weird loop all the way wrapping back around which we'll see what happens at that point. but we are looking again for as much as up to 12 to 15 inches of rain in florida and three to six-foot storm surge along with winds up near possibly 145 miles per hour. that's a look at the weather
