marion barry was released from the hospital when he fell ill and was brought to another hospital hours later. he died after midnight. despite never holding national office, he was a national figure after a hi profile arrest nearly 25 years ago. >> marion barry was one of the most charismatic politicians in our nation's history. so popular one d.c. newspaper called him mayor for life. despite his accomplishments, he may be remembered most for the night he was arrested in a downtown washington hotel room smoking a crack pipe with a woman who was not his wife. he said he'd been set up, but despite spending six months in federal prison, barry returned to politics. he was elected to city council and later as mayor one more time. local residents loved him seeing him as a champion for poor.

controversy was never far away. in 2006 he received probation for failing to file tax returns. he also sent a government contract to a girlfriend. in recent years he suffered from health problems. he remained a beloved figure to the end in washington d.c. this morning, the current mayor calls him a true statesman. >> barry was 78 years old and survived by his wife and one son. this morning there's no word on funeral plans. all right shanel. thanks very much. the temperature is slowly rising in buffalo, new york this morning. that has residents buried under feet of snow worried about what may happen next. the area bracing for flooding as they continue to dig out from the massive snowstorm. kristen is in buffalo this morning. good morning. >> reporter: good morning lester. you can see what people are dealing with here. you might think a warm-up would be a welcome sign.

think about the snow sucking up that water getting heavier and heavier. we could see more roof collapses. there are flood warnings across this area. in buffalo, new york, there's no sigh of relief. there's no time. days after the massive early season snowstorm, roofs are caving under the weight. >> 20 years gone in four days. >> reporter: he already lost one of his industrial workshops. the second is on the verge of collapse. >> we've been working our butts off to keep the snow away from the building so when the flooding comes it's away from the building so we don't have flooding. we didn't realize up above how much stress was going to be on the roof. >> reporter: residents across the area are in a fight to clear the heavy snow before it's too late. >> i'm worried about the weight on this roof.

there's not much pitch. there's cracks in the ceiling already. >> reporter: several neighborhoods remained buried. reinforcements are arriving. they're pitching in to make sure snow bound residents are safe. everything okay? >> everything is fine. >> got your medication? yes, i cadid. >> reporter: this melting could mean flooding. the battle continues. >> making sure the sewers are clean getting the snow on the streets. >> reporter: residents are bracing for round two. to give you an idea of what we're talking about. look at this snow difficulty four and a half feet. that behind me even bigger. firefighters are out there. here's what's on the way. the governor says they're going to be ready with 425 pumps and generators, boats, helicopter hers and almost 200,000

sandbags. they say they're ready for the worst lester. >> kristin, thanks very much. dylan is up in boston with a look at what's next for residents in western new york. also a closer look at severe weather expected to batter the south today. good morning. >> reporter: good morning erica. yes the warm up and rain that could cause problems up and down the east coast. let's focus on buffalo and the area where there are feet of snow on the ground. it's going to start melting. if you boiled it all down, you would end up with two to ten inches of water. not all will melt at once, but you'll see some leading to flooding along with showers. it's really just about a quarter of an inch of rain. creeks will start filling up. especially low lying typical flood prone areas will see minor to moderate flooding tonight

lasting through monday night. we do have severe storms especially down across the gulf coast. we have heavy rain moving through new orleans. it's the panhandle of florida that a could see the best chance of isolated tornados breaking out today. we don't have the tornados and looking at damaging winds, flash flooding with heavy rain and hail is possible. we're talking about this warm-up causing problems of its own. down south with the storms and up near buffalo we'll see the moderate flooding tonight. >> dylan, thanks. we have been keeping a close eye on what's going on in ferguson, missouri. the community still waiting about the word from the grand jury whether they will charge the police officer with the shooting death of michael brown. a decision was widely expected today. with nerves on edge, there's one more day of waiting. today national correspondent craig melvin has more. good morning. >> reporter: lester, good morning to you. sources tell nbc news, the 12

member grand jury will reconvene tomorrow behind me. we don't know if they'll vote tomorrow. we don't know if they'll announce the decision tomorrow. they could continue to listen to testimony and review evidence. the waiting game continues. so do the protests. cold and rain did not stop the nightly rituals in front of the ferguson police department. a small crowd of protestors stopped traffic and confronted police. earlier saturday, the man who's son death sparked it all gave thanks. michael brown sr. passed out more than 60 turkeys to people that live in the apartment complex where his son was killed. >> just showing my love back where the people looked out for my son by putting it on social media to expose what's happening over here in this community.

we appreciate it, for real. >> johnson is thankful for the gift. he and his fiance will be most thankful when calm is restored to ferguson. >> sometimes i can't sleep because i don't know what's going on outside. it's really hard. the stress level is beyond the scale. >> reporter: as a barricades go up around the courthouse where grand jurors are hearing the evidence, the process is taking so long. captain johnson in the after math of the shooting helping ease tensions after violent clashes. he now expects protests no matter what. >> i expect no matter what the decision, people will take to the streets and voice their opinion. >> violently? >> i don't think it's going to be what people expect it to be and what some may want it to be. >> reporter: captain ron johnson has a great deal of faith this

the protestors born from meetings, conversations. in fact the proposed ro tee pro and law enforcement have rules of engagement. he did not rule out using tear gas and rubber bullets if needed. >> thanks. a look at a scary scene inside a train station overnight. >> there were tense moments inside the train station after a fire. passengers captured the drama on video. some 100 people were evacuated. smoke and flames come are from the front of the train. two were treated at the scene. now to florida. police say the man behind the deadly police ambush was known for making threats to police. the gunman torched his own home seen in this cell phone video leading a neighbor to call 911. police were blindsided by the

gunman hiding outside the home. he fatality shot one and wounded another. an off duty officer living nearby ran outside and shot the suspect. a man is in custody after going on a rampage. the suspect held in the ceiling of the women's bathroom before crashing to the ground. he reportedly ran out bleeding and attacked an 84-year-old man biting his ear and attempting to choke him with his own cane. he was arrested after a scuffle with police. now to sydney australia. a newborn baby was found in an eight foot drain after cyclists on a track herd him crying. they sprang to action rescuing the baby boy wrapped in his hospital blanket. the baby believed to be two or three days old is expected to survive. police are now questioning a 20-year-old woman. officials in japan say the damage from a strong earthquake

is worse than expected. on saturday, a woman was rescued from the rubble of a house hit hard by the earthquake. 37 homes were destroyed and 39 people injured. a 9-year-old north carolina boy is now the youngest to travel cross country by bike for a good cause. the fourth grader arrived in florida saturday after leaving ocean side, california september 1st. he raised $100,000 for children's cancer during the trip. speaking of cycling, our today show team pedalled with a purpose saturday. we'll have that the next half hour. nice to see the pictures on instagram and twitter. >> it was fun. a great organization and great event. >> it was a chilly might. we had a lot of fun. >> that kid is remarkable by the way. wow. let's head back to boston for a check of the rest of the country's weather with dylan. hello again. >> reporter: hey. good morning guys.

i'm not in boston because there's a nor'easter coming. i had a charity event last night. that's why i'm here this morning. it's nice. most of the northeast is enjoying warmer temperatureses. down south we have our heaviest rain. could see strong storms across florida, heavy rain in georgia and south carolina making its way up the east coast. there's an area in red from eastern louisiana to the coast of carolinas where we could see isolated tornados and downpours. in the buffalo area, we have flood warnings because that snow is going and a good sunday morning. i'm meteorologist michelle grossman. a milder day today. back to normal temperatures. right around 54 degrees. we'll see a mixture of sun and clouds. and then rain arrives overnight. it could be heavy at times. it is out of here monday morning. then the big weather headlines will be warm and windy. could break some records.

we're back to the winds on tuesday. cold on thanksgiving. 45. and temperatures into the 40s friday and saturday. >> reporter: and that's your latest forecast. >> dylan, thanks. president obama is on his way to washington from las vegas. there's been heavy opposition and the most recent poll shows americans aren't behind the president. 48% are opposed to president taking action on immigration. chuck todd, good morning. >> good morning erica. >> the president knew this would be an uphill battle. we hear talk of a government shutdown. how toxic is this? >> on capitol hill it's toxic. republicans are united on one issue, they don't like how the president went about doing this.

after that, they don't quite know how to retaliate politically. yes, a few said hey, use the power of the purse and congress and legislation and force a government shutdown. it's unclear and republican leaders don't want to go near the idea of a government shutdown. they think that would be politically toxic. at this point they can pass a bill but can't unite the party around any bill. the policy the president is implementing is not unpopular. it's how he went about doing it that's unpopular. that adds to confusion of how republicans should respond. congressional leaders are hoping some state or two sues the president so it ends up in the courts and they can tell conservatives to retaliate, keep your powder dry. let the courts work their will. >> you made a nice segway for us. speaking of courts, we know health care is still a major issue, specifically for

republicans. a lot of them ran on that. on friday, house republicans filing a lawsuit as all this immigration action is happening, filing a lawsuit challenging obama care. where is that going to go at this point? >> by the way, that was though the a coincidence that the house of representatives released details of that lawsuit friday right after the immigration action. that was their way, almost like a carrot to conservative base of republicans who want some retribution against the president. some have brought up the word impeachment. this is a way for speaker boehner to tell them, look guys we're going to try to sue the president over unilateral actions. they picked health care because it's obviously unpopular with the conservative base. they're hitting him on following this action or that action saying it's not following the law passed. whether that lawsuit will make its way to the supreme court is

unclear. >> what do you have coming up on meet the press? >> going to do a lot of immigration and also what's going on in ferguson and how government officials are handling ferguson. by preimpively planning for protest are they accidentally encouraging it? >> nice to see you. thank you. >> you got it. why some kid cans at a georgia chart area school may have a leg up on mark zuckerberg. alka-seltzer plus presents the cold truth. i have a cold, with terrible chest congestion. better take something. i'll catch up later. awww... truth is, theraflu severe cold doesn't treat chest congestion. really? new alka-seltzer plus day powder rushes relief to your worst cold symptoms plus chest congestion. oh, what a relief it is. here we go! woooo! woooo! and now, alka-seltzer plus has a complete line of powders to treat your worst cold symptoms.

58% of the children here are on the free or reduced lunch program. some student's parents are chronically unemployed. at this tuition free charter school, they believe learning another language will end poverty. >> we want our students to be prepared for a world they don't know exactly what it will look like in a few years. we think that chinese gives them a leg up. >> it was not lost on the instagram generation, mark zuckerberg revealed now he speaks mandarin. >> when you saw that he could speak fluent mandarin what did you think? i think he admitted that. most student's parents do not

speak chinese but still encourage their kids to speak the language as often as possible. >> the way i got them to practice speaking it, i said you can talk about me, and i'll never know. it was like oh yeah, we can do that. it started immediately. >> as i discovered, sometimes you don't want to know what they're saying. that's hello and good-bye. for "today," nbc news atlanta. >> oh my goodness. >> wow. i'm impressed. >> great story. so well done by kerry. >> he's a great writer. good deal. still to come on "today," a miraculous recovery. we'll tell you how the 4-year-old is doing after falling 200 feet down a cliff. an amazing story of
