good morning. state of emergency. florida braces for the worst with tropical storm hermine expected to become a hurricane as it bears down on the gulf coast. evacuations now under way there and then it's set to slam nearly the entire eastern seaboard. day plans? who's telling the truth? donald trump meets with the president of mexico and then says this about that wall he wants to build. >> we did discuss payment of the wall. >> the mexican president says it not only came up, he told trump mexico isn't paying for any wall. back in the states, trump is back to his biggest applause line. >> mexico will pay for the wall.

to mexico pay off and what does the clinton campaign say about a string of new polls showing a much tighter race. we'll ask clinton's running mate tim kaine. promising breakthrough. a new drug delivers tantalizing results in the fight against alzheimer's. this morning how it works and why researchers are hopeful but cautious. and britney is back fresh off her performance at the vmas and with her new album just out, we're catching up with britney spears and she'll have a special exclusive performance just for us "today," thursday, september 1st, 2016. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. good morning, everybody. welcome to "today" on a rainy

great outdoor plans you had for labor day weekend. not looking so good. >> we're going to confront al. i mean, talk to al. it's our top story. the weather. a state of emergency in florida. tropical storm hermine expected to make landfall later today. it's already brought heavy rains to the gulf coast. could strengthen into a category 1 hurricane and, yes, the entire east coast is now looking at a wet holiday weekend. let's go right over to al. he's following the storm's pa let's start with nbc's gabe gutierrez who is in florida this morning. gabe, good morning to you. >> reporter: savannah, good morning. we've already seen some rain on and off here throughout the morning and as you mentioned hermine is strengthening. the national weather service now saying it's expected to make landfall here in florida either later tonight or in the overnight hours as a hurricane. now, dangerous storm surge is expected and overnight we've already seen some flash flooding and over the last 24 hours north

effect for where we are at in franklin county. mandatory evacuations are also in effect. storm surge expected up to seven feet in some places and hermine is expected to bring up to 5 to 10 inches of rain in some areas even 20 inches in isolated spots. if hermine were to make landfall as a hurricane here in florida, it will be the first hurricane to hit the state in nearly 11 years. savannah? >> all right. gabe gutierrez, thank you. >> al is here and he's g some pretty big problems for what millions of people up and down the coast. >> that's it exactly. it's been 11 years since a hurricane has hit florida. this could strengthen as gabe mentioned to a category 1. latest on hermine, 270 miles south/southwest of florida. looking at the path right now, we expect landfall sometime late

of and then continues inland until early saturday morning and comes out around the carolina coast but look at this cone of uncertainty that widens out. washington, d.c., philadelphia, new york, parts of connecticut, providence, all of the way up to boston all have to worry about this system. now, for the first time in four years, we've got a hurricane warning in effect along the gulf coast from panama city down to we've got tropical storm warnings as well and we also have to worry about the risk of storm surge. that's when all these waves, this wave energy piles that water up against it and we get flooding moving its way inland. right now we've got storm surges that will peak 1 to 3 feet around tampa. 4 to 7 feet as you get to big bend on top of high tides. we also have to worry about the

typically small in scale but still we have to watch it. the other big problem is going to be the rainfall. anywhere from 10 to 20 inches of rain especially in northern florida but as you get up into the carolinas and georgia, could be upwards of 7 to 8 inches of rain and coming up in the next half hour, rip currents are going to be a very big problem stretching from florida all of the way into nantucket by the time the labor day weekend is over. >> we talk about plans for the happen along the coast. >> absolutely. let's turn to politics now and headlines there. the long awaited speech on immigration that donald trump delivered to a roaring crowd in phoenix wednesday even after conflicting reports emerged from that surprise visit earlier in the day with the mexican president. in a minute we'll speak to tim kaine to talk about his thoughts on that speech when he joins us. first, let's go to nbc's hallie jackson.

this morning already reaction now to donald trump's tough talk on immigration. some of his most conservative supporters are applauding what sounded like a speech trump might have given during the primaries but even some of trump's open surrogates say they feel disappointed with hillary clinton calling it trump's darkest speech yet. in front of a fired up crowd, a fiery donald trump trying to clarify his immigration stance. >> anyone who h united states illegally is subject to deportation. >> reporter: for the roughly 11 million undocumented immigrants living here, no legalization. >> you can't just smuggle in, hunker down, and wait to be legalized. not going to work that way. >> reporter: the gop nominee promising a new deportation task force. trump going after hillary clinton. >> maybe they'll be able to

consistent campaign pledge. building a border wall. >> and mexico will pay for the wall. 100%. they don't know know it yet but they're going to pay for the wall. >> reporter: that confidence coming despite a disagreement just hours earlier over who would cost the cost of the wall after a surprise sit mexico's president. i made it clear that mexico will not pay for the wall. a dramatic and diplomatic shift in rhetoric from the gop nominee. just one year ago. >> they're not our friend. believe me. >> reporter: now -- >> i call you a friend. thank you. >> reporter: hillary clinton calling it a photo-op. >> it certainly takes more than trying to make up for a year of insults and insinuations by dropping in on our neighbors for

>> reporter: trump insiders tell nbc news the candidate insisted his visit happened the same day as his big immigration speech. both trips showing two types of trump in mexico a softer touch. >> we had a very direct and constructive exchange of ideas. >> reporter: in arizona, a harder line. >> we will bring the cycle of amnesty and illegal immigration. >> reporter: and this morning trump is his stance on the border wall tweeting again, mexico will pay for it. not backing down even as he makes some new overtures to the country with his surrogates showing off new swag. you know those hats that say make america great again. we saw hats saying make mexico great again also. matt, savannah? >> hallie jackson, thank you.

presidential nominee on hillary clinton's democratic ticket. good morning. good to see you. >> good to be with you. thanks. >> i want to start with this meeting with mexico's president. afterward, there were conflicting reports of whether or not they talked about who in fact would pay for this wall on the border. mr. trump said it didn't come up. the president of mexico said, yes, it came up early in the meeting and he told mr. trump that mexicold which one is trying to save face in your opinion? >> well, i think this is kind of a diplomatic amateur hour by donald trump. what are the odds, matt, that he has been telling the american public for months now we're building a wall and mexico is going to pay for it, but then that did not come up in the meeting? i find that kind of ridiculous. even if it didn't come up, he

the president of mexico after he's been saying it every day for the last many months? so i find his statement that he didn't bring up even if it's true, it shows that he sort of folded under pressure and didn't have the backbone to say to the mexican president what he's been saying over and over. >> donald trump stood there with the mexican president. he was toned down. no outrageous rhetoric. s even his best presidential behavior. is that one of the difficult things for you running against a donald trump that you never know exactly which donald trump you're going to get? >> you know, i think the important thing about leadership is you have to be consistent. you can't say different things to different audiences. and so, you know, he came back across the border and it's about mexico is going to build a wall. mexico is going to pay for it. he was divisive.

deportation nation. but when he's looking the leader of mexico in the eye, he can't bring himself to say it. that tells me something about his backbone and his resolve and so it's an interesting -- yesterday was an interested display of, i think, kind of a diplomatic lack of resolve and then this language of division deportation that shows that donald trump is not changing anything. >> back to optics for a second. if you look at the side by side of this week, to mexico. he sat down. he had a dignified meeting with a foreign leader. hillary clinton spent most of this week scooping up money in the hamptons for fundraisers. doesn't trump come out on top on that? >> i don't think so. do the contrast in 24 hours yesterday. donald trump choked on the fundamental promise that he's making in this campaign when he had the opportunity to talk to the foreign leader about it by his words he didn't bring it up.

it did come up. i told trump we're not paying for your wall. so that just shows that i think kind of not ready for prime time but then back over on this side of the border, he just doubles down on this divisive deportation nation strategy. >> let's talk about the state of the race. most national polls we're seeing battleground polls show a tightening race. that's the trend. and if you look into some of those polls, what you see really it's a matter of hillary actually going down. the question is if trump is as weak a candidate as you portray, why isn't she putting it away? >> i encouraged secretary clinton to run in april of 2014. i gave a speech in south carolina and i said i hope that she runs, and we talked about it. i said make no mistake, this is going to be incredibly difficult. i think it will be hard. you cannot assume anything.

that nobody has ever done before. i always assumed this race would be hard. we feel good about our position in a number of true battleground states. we don't feel any sense of complacency. we're organizing and making our case to voters every day because we felt from the beginning this would be very, very difficult. >> senator tim kaine, thank you for your time this morning. i appreciate it. >> you bet. thank you, guys. good to be with you. we turn to a possible game alzheimer's. researchers announcing an experimental drug produced results in slowing memory loss in some patients. dr. natalie azar is with us now. explain what's going on. >> we want to say we want to temper the enthusiasm. previous drugs have shown promise in early phase one trials and gone on to not show significant improvement in patients clinically. that's kind of important.

alzheimer's. we do know it's characterized by these abnormal plaques of protein in the brain. patients given this drug for a year and in a time and dose dependent manner had a significant reduction of these plaques which means people that got highest dose had almost complete disappearance of these plaques. i want to say again does that translate something meaningful in terms of cognitive function. >> just because you have a reduction doesn't mean you slow the production of memory and thinking problems or even halt the progression. >> exactly. here's where the important thing is that we do know that these plaques can start to surface years, even a decade before symptoms start so imagine if you could take a population of people who are at risk, either by screening or genetic risk and give them this drug that early and prevent the plaque from ever developing, could that translate into a truly meaningful

>> the notion being something that speaks to prevention or stopping it before we get to this terrible situation. >> can you imagine? right now there are two phase three trials ongoing. >> small study. >> right now 165 patients of phase one trial. we're hoping to have data by 2020. if we can show halting in memory decline and improvement in cognitive function, cautiously optimistic. >> let's get caught up on other news. >> president obama will make a very unusual visit to today. land halfway between airborsia north america. it's the next stop on a whirlwind ten-day trip.

g-20 summit and meeting with china's president. hundreds of protesters smashed windows of downtown businesses. the protests turned violent after the new president addressed the nation in a televised message. he promised to revive brazil's troubled economy. to an example of what goes up must come down in spain. teams were competing to build the tallest human tower. members of one team reached an amazing 45 feet but ran into big trouble when they tried to get back down. that tower collapsed in a heap. as frightening as it looks, no one was seriously hurt. >> wow. >> i see a "today" show segment in the future right there.

>> it doesn't end well. let's see what we have going on as far as your weather is concerned. we are looking at a risk of strong storms down through florida. we've got wet weather, monsoonal moisture through the southwest. cooler conditions making their way through the northern plains and the western great lakes and looking for beautiful sunny skies through southern

>> that's your latest weather. >> always nice to have a dr. seuss fere>>'l get to it. >> i'll google it at the break. coming up, cruise ship cocaine bust and it's a biggy. how a dream vacation documented on social media led to a $22 million drug arrest.

damper on labor day plans just ahead the holiday weekend. donald trump is back on the campaign trail this morning after a quick trip south of the border before wednesday night's big speech on immigration in arizona. he emphasized he's not softening his stance on immigration. differing accounts of his conversation with the mexican president quickly emerged with trump reiterating his claim that mexico will pay for the wall he wants to build on the border insists his country will do no such thing. restoration work on the u.s. capitol dome is almost finished on time and under budget. house speaker announced a two-year $60 million project will be ready before the president inauguration. the last time the dome was spiffed up was back in 1960. let us start this half hour with the story of two women that documented almost every detail

and dumber. when it docked in australia, around 200 pounds of the drug were seized. reports valuing it at $22 million. >> a lot of work went into this particular operation. it's not the sort of operation where you turn up to a cruise ship and wander on and happen to come across 90 kilograms of cocain the women had written and now looking at the inside of of a prison cell. the third man is reportedly in his 60s. all will appear again in court in october and nbc news did reach out to the women's family. we have no word from them. we weren't able to contact them or their legal advisers so far. matt? >> long time until they take another cruise. keir simmons, thank you very much. let us check in with mr. roker and there's so much going on in your neck of the woods as

into that house and had to recover the bodies. >> kprc was the first on the scene. >> they brought andrea out and her clothes were still wet and her hair was still wet from the bathtub. they brought her out. she looked like a zombie. there was a sort of wildness in her eyes. >> even with a long and documented history of mental illness including suicide attempts, she was charged and the verdict was later overturned and in a subsequent trial she was found not guilty by reason of insanity. she testified she believed her children's deaths would save their souls. andrea yates was committed to a texas mental hospital where she remains today. now, 52 years old. you talk to andrea on a weekly basis? >> i would say probably about every seven or eight days. >> how is she doing?

she has excellent care. >> george parnham was was and is still in andrea's attorney. >> there isn't a day that goes by where she doesn't care for, talk about, is happy about her children's lives before june 20th and grieves for her children. >> parnham says she makes unanimously to charity and she also spends time watching videos of her children. >> the hospital where she is, there are no wires or bars, there's no armed guards, no fences. >> for the most part it's a life of solitude. she never leaves the hospital and has few visitors. while the case comes up for review yearly, andrea has never sought to be released.

had another child, a son who is now eight. according to recent court documents, his second wife filed for divorce last year. in a 2015 interview with oprah winfrey, he spoke about his grieving and where his acceptance is now. >> for some reason when i think about them today, i think of them as being teenagers or young adults. >> your oldest son would be 20 now. >> it's easy to get caught up in how they suffered or the fact that tre tried to do was say, look, i'm not going to let these events steal that joy. the joy that we had for those seven years. >> maybe with the exception of sandy hook, the added element here, of course, is that the children were killed by the one person that should have guaranteed their safety. >> five beautiful lives lost. 15 years later a tragedy that still resonates.

>> his hair was a work of art. >> let's make a couple little waves. >> i used to fall asleep. right out. >> what does carson have going on? >> maybe "pop start" right over here. >> let's go. we'll start with john legend. the singer calling the national anthem weak. he said this in support of nfl quarterback colin kaepernick who caused quite the stir for sitting during the national anthem. for those defending the current anthem, do you really truly love i don't and i'm very good at singing it like one of the best. my vote is for "america the beautiful." john then linked to an article that argues the anthem is a celebration of slavery because of a line in a rarely sung third verse. others argue that the word slave is referring to the british enemy of the war of 1812. we'll move to hoda kotb up late last night with seth myers. she told seth about how she got her big break in news business

local station in greenville, mississippi. she was not on the air. she wasn't an anchor. just a writer. here's how she ended in front of the camera. >> as i was typing away, my boss ran in and says who has a blazer? i said what? he said who brought a jacket. i have a blazer. it's hanging up over there. good. you need to anchor the news because ann is sick. okay. so the litmus test for who anchors the news in mississippi is who teleprompter is in front of me. good morning. i'm hoda kotb. ann martin is out sick. good evening. i'm ann martin. i just said i wasn't my own name. >> hoda, are you down there? hoda says that it was funny. you did great job. immediately after that you went into a supermarket and were so embarrassed and met a nice lady. >> she walked up to me.

had blown it like that. oh my god. i just seen you on tv. i felt so sorry for you. burst out into tears. by the way. look at the magic happening right here. >> bob ross term going. >> finally, the black eyes peas it's is the love" debuted. in light of recent events. the band reuniting for a remake of the song and the music video.

? >> look who we have. black eyes peas. good morning, fellas. tell us about this project. >> this project took place online. people were asking us we need a new version of "where's the love" after the paris attack and after brussels and turkey and orlando and all of the things that were happening in inner cities with law civilians so we were aching like everyone else and went out in the studio and reunited the group and answered the call and brought our friends along and we made this song "where's the love" again. >> powerful video. >> i don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing that the song sounds so current because the problems are still so real. >> we were talking about that earlier. we actually released the first version in 2003 on the heels

years later and revamp it adding all of these great people that were affiliated with the video and movement means a great thing because even though it's such a crazy situation that we're dealing with, the fact is that all of us got together for a great cause as human beings and it wasn't just celebrities. it was actually people. everybody joining forces for this great cause. >> what can people do? and people can go on and support this. >> go to where's the love.com. 16 charities there. you can pick through all of the -- it's like bringing all of these charities together and wherever your heart leads you. you go to itunes and download the song, every single dime goes to education and apple in the u.s. is matching the donation.

youth by providing them skill sets to create jobs in the future so we don't repeat the same mistakes. >> when you guys get together after a little bit of a hiatus, does that get your creative juices going. >> fergie is in the video. i worked on her new album. this was a call asking us to spread love out there and so we're doing our part. this but it was needed to ask that question again and to raise awareness for the kids to pay attention and spread the word of love. >> we were talking before it was 2010 last time you guys were out on our stage. >> it rained then. >> open invitation if you guys want to come back. >> thank you. >> where's the plaza booking? >> i've been putting these stickers up.

>> there you go. >> i don't know if you can drink out of that now. >> at 5:00 in the morning, that's where the love is in the coffee cup. thank you so much. >> thank you so much. >> good to see you guys. >> congratulations. >> thank you so much. >> thank you, everyone. >> mr. roker, check of the weather? >> announcer: "today's" weather is brought to you by camping world. get one stop shopping for everything rv at your nearby campingld all right. so the latest on hermine, this just in from the hurricane center. 195 miles south-southwest of a lat a a lash -- merge out along the carolina coast saturday morning and then hang a left and head up

>> don't forget you can always take us with you. "today" show radio. >> we go from black eyed peas to britney spears time. >> fresh off her big return to mtv video music awards. she's back performing in las vegas and natalie got to catch up with her. good morning. >> guys, good morning. las vegas is britney's home away from home for the past three years her show her at access to planet hollywood is one of the city's most popular attractions. now with the release of her ninth studio album "glory" britney is back and she says busier than ever. >> britney spears making her return to the vma stage on

>> how are you? >> we caught up with britney backstage before her special "today" show concert. do you see this as a comeback in your career? >> i never really left. i've always been here. maybe a reinvention of myself and just a different time in my life. a good, glorious time. >> at 34 years old, britney spent more than half of her life in the limelight and now she's proving that she still is the reigning princess of pop "glory." showing off her silly side and extending her hugely successful past. this show has been going strong for three years. are you still loving vegas? >> i honestly do. it's like my second home. i've been here for six weeks and i go home for six weeks. it's amazing. >> 90 minute shows three times a

busy. when she's not performing to a packed house, britney's top priority is spending time with her family. to stay cool and unwind, these california kids like to hang ten las vegas style in planet hollywood's surf simulator. are you going to show me how to do this? i hear you guys what did you think of mom's performance at the vmas? did she rock it? >> we didn't see it. >> is mom pretty cool. are you guys ready? let's show them what we can do. >> is this what you guys do preshow to blow off steam. >> sometimes. >> look at his hair. >> sean's new hair color clearly not a concern. >> blue hair and all. i don't know if i can do it.

good morning. i'll tell you what, at least it's mostly dry out there right now.

yesterday. you can see cloudy on the hula bay restaurant in tampa. but tropical storm hermine is out in the gulf of mexico pushing north. could make land fall overnight tonight. this red shaded area, where the hurricane warning is many effect, it could be the first hurricane to make land fall in florida in 11 years. locally, tropical storm-force winds are expected within 36 hours. there's a warning there. but the flood watch continues. i know it seem only are there small rain chance showers but look in the gulf of mexico. again, tropical storm moisture wrapping around tropical storm hermine. and i expect at least some of that to wrap itself into our area. so with the saturated ground, higher than average tides with this onshore wind flow, the water is going to pile up in the bay and the rivers and when the rainfall come, not going to have anywhere to go. more flooding problems today.

that we had yesterday but any rain is a problem basically. and as far as the wind threat, we will see very rough surf and stronger winds obviously up to about 30 miles per hour. and with the soggy ground, there's a possibility that could bring trees down, just because the ground isn't stable anymore. and when you have the tropical storm, isolated tornadoes, water spouts come onshore a possibility as well. and we are keeping the rain chance high on friday as tropical moisture spreads in. it doesn't start to dry out until early leslee, how about the roads? we start off in pinellas county because we have flooding on the roadways. grounds are saturated. right now, you need to know, st. pete, martin luther king, also known as 9th street, is closed right now between 47th avenue south and 38th avenue south. and that is due to standing water in the roadway. this general vicinity in this area, we've got other portions of roadways that have a lot of

for the alternate, 4th street is a great alternate. not only that, but traffic is light overall. you know, many of the schools are out of session today because of the weather. so i definitely want to you keep that in mind. in general, lighter and we have the crash on the tamiami trail southbound at jacaranda. >> thank you. and look at this, this is a live look from eagle 8 hd over the lake in st. petersburg. very close to that standing water that leslee was about. you can see the extensive flooding right now. it's hard to tell the difference between the lake and the roadways there. you can see people, it's flooding up to the doorsteps for some of the homes. and this is a popular park right at 9th street south and 40th avenue south. a hot spot for birthday parties and walking the dog but clearly, that is not going to be happening today as eagle 8 hd pulls out there. you can see how extensive the flooding is. and it's creeping into

popular lake there. >> yeah, definitely as you can tell, a residential area. now much of it underwater. and the concern here if you're watching us in this area, over the next few hour, you might see more water. so if you haven't taken the precautions to protect your home is the time to do it before it gets worse later today. >> and this isn't the only problem. you heard leslee lacey talking about flooding problems on roads, martin luther king street specifically. >> yeah, st. petersburg. south and 47th avenue south. and we have jamel lanee' live this morning. tell us what's happening there, jamel. >> reporter: good morning, gene and gayle. again, as you said earlier, this street, that lake that's next to the neighborhood is flooding into this neighborhood street. this is dr. martin luther king, jr. street. and highlands street here in st. petersburg. i've talked to several neighbors. they told me at 4:30 in

started to creep into the neighborhood and they saw an alligator swimming down the middle of the street. residents are now moving their cars out of the way because again this water is creeping up closer and closer to the doorways. so again, we have seen a lot of st. petersburg officials out here, turning around and they're keeping the barricades up, telling people, turn around, don't drown. >> and as i say when we're covering storms like this, my pet peeve is, if you encounter something like this, if tough drive through it, so you don't displace that water and create a mess for other people. >> in many cases, it's best not to drive through it because you don't want to risk it. and your car is going to be a mess. >> yeah. and people's homes as well. we will stay on top of this. and we will have more. right now, back to the today

quality time with your family. >> we have five apps. the first one addresses the problem getting out the door. are we do it here? >> we're doing it here.

and you know, it's always the worst time of the day is the morning. kids are fighting. there's a power struggle. and no one gets out of the door in time. it sets up a schedule of different activities. you can set the timer and give it to them. so they'll have a minute to make their bed and brush their teeth and when they're done, they can get stars and awards and basically it means the phone does all of the nagging for you. good conversations with them. >> makes it like a game. >> gives them control over their own schedule as well. >> we're out the door. let's talk about the commute. kids like to fight over the radio. you have a solution. >> it's time to get the brain working on the way to school. podcasts are really a great thing to listen to on the way. the one we like is called pocket cast. this is an app that cost $2.99.

podcast you want. we like podcast called story pirates where kids write stories and then these really funny comic actors act them out. gets creative juices flowing and hit school with their brains activated. >> homework time. another struggling situation for a lot of parents. >> one of the struggles is sometimes your kids ask you for help and you don't remember -- >> google . >> and now schools teach math in different ways you may not understand. khan academy is the gold standard. it's a series of videos and exercises that can help kids stay up to date but also parents can use this maybe while their kids are at school so when kids come home, they know what they're dealing with and they can look brilliant. >> it's true. for some of us, a long time

many times you sit there and go what am i going to make? you have an app for that. >> you either do the same go-to things again and again and again or you spend hours looking through recipe books and online. so this is a subscription service called gathered table. for seven or eight bucks a month, they'll suggest meals for you and plan it out on a calendar and you can actually import your favorite recipes and organize it all on a you can go to the -- >> are there degrees of difficulty for these things? >> they are all makeable things. >> nothing fancy. and then your final app. tell us about this. it justifies giving your kids screen time. i know a lot of us -- >> i'm uptight about screen time. sometimes what are you going to do? you have to go do something. at least you can make sure that your kid is being active and working on something opposed to just passively receiving stuff.

it's kind of an introduction to programming. what you can do is there are icons that you can move around and make your phone do things. so for instance in this one if you get your face on the camera, the light lights up. when you talk to technologists they talk about when they were kids they learn they could control the computer and a mind-blowing experience that was. it's letting kids do things with the phone and be creative. >> i like that it has educational aspect. appreciate it. coming up next, we'll cook papaya next with katie lee's magic touch. on a thursday morning, this is

all right. we're back now with more garden on the go recipes. it's the gift that keeps on

nearly two does different herbs and veggies and katie lee will make the most out of the bounty. good to see you. summer wrapping up. you're making one of my favorite dishes. it's good for the summer dish. >> i love it. home and wonder what to do with it now. >> let's look at the ingredient gr sausage here. >> bacon, zucchini, all stuff at its peak. first step is the meat. i have chicken legs.

it's good for the grill and garlic salt to give it more flavor. toss it around in there. chicken you should grill at medium heat so it doesn't dry out. it will cook for 20 or 25 minutes until it registers 165. >> i'll be back with you in a second. talk about vegetables. zucchini, squash, tomatoes, oil on there, garlic salt and pepper. they cook for a lot less time. only a couple minutes. you want tomatoes to get blistered and yummy. and next step is the rice. this is really the base. >> can i stop you for a second? >> i don't like it when rice is mushy. i like a crunch. >> that's the best part.

onions and bacon. bacon will help it crisp up because it has that fat in there and it's going to give it a lot of flavor. you can even use leftover rice. you know when you have those containers from the chinese takeout. a great way to use it. i'm actually doing this in a cast iron skillet instead of a pan so you don't have to have a special pan for this. >> you know what's amazing, we have our tasters at the table. they began eating this dish in our 7:30 half >> the two sausages, chicken and vegetables are perfect. >> awesome. >> i want to know where charlie is. don't you think he would like some? >> he gets the leftovers. >> there won't be leftovers. >> you are pressing it down. >> i press it all of the way in. you want that rice to have good contact with the bottom of the pan so it gets crunchy. you can put this right on the grill at high heat for 20 to 25 minutes. it's not going to burn. that's how you get the crunch.

tomatoes and lemon zest. i'll hold that for you. you will add fresh herbs. a lot of fresh herbs and lemon juice. use whatever herbs you have. i'm using basil, cilantro and parsley in this one. one time i did lemon basil. that tasted great. add the protein. cooked. you don't have to take it off the bone. you can slice sausage if you like. shrimp is really good. there's all kinds of things you can do with it. put that vegetable in here too. >> okay. >> guys, what's your favorite kind? >> this. >> do you like seafood? >> seriously though. >> do you like it? >> you nailed it.

>> with seafood you have to peel the shrimp. >> even the vegetables are good. >> whenever you put stuff on the grill it takes on such a good flavor. it's really easy the cleanup is nothing then. >> did you try it, matt? >> i'm going to try it. katie, we'll walk over there to the tasting table. there isn't a dish for me. never mind. >> too bad. >> we'll take it right out of here. >> look at this. >> you get a big boy spoon there. >> perfect. all of the cru there. >> how great is that? >> really good, right? >> you have to have crunchy rice. it's everything. >> best thing you ever made. >> katie lee, rave reviews. thank you very much. this recipe e-mailed to you sign up for the "today" newsletter. go to today.com/food or text food 66866. up next, an exclusive

good morning. i'm gayle guyardo. >> i'm gene ramirez. time now 8:59. leigh spann is tracking tropical storm hermine. >> exactly right. and i know we've had this reprieve from the heavy rain of yesterday but look in the gulf of mexico. this is deep tropical moisture rotating around tropical storm hermine which is why you see the green shaded counties, just about everybody touching the coast under a flood watch. anymore more rain will lead to the more flooding. and we will see the winds get stronger through the day today. and citrus, hernando and pasco, under a tropical storm warning meaning you could feel tropical storm-force winds within 36 hours but i believe you will see them as early as this evening. farther to the north, the red area is a hurricane warning where they could feel hurricane-

southeast up to 23 miles per hour in st. petersburg. lighter once you head inland. and we have stronger gusts, up to about 18 miles per hour just offshore at this point. and look at the wind speed forecast now as i go forward this time. closer to the coast, 30 miles per hour wind speed expected by this afternoon in st. pete. 34 in venice. and breezy inland, just not as strong. and then everybody gets in on the strong 25 to 35 miles per hour speeds this evening. again, after this brief ea dsrain at times coming onshore as tropical storm hermine heads north. and it could come onshore after midnight early tomorrow morning. the problem is, it's still going to be drawing in moisture for us tomorrow. just three days now with possible heavy rain. and by the way, if it does make land fall as a category one hurricane which is the forecast, it would be the first one in 11 years to make land

fall was wilma back in 2005 locally here in florida. so good rain chances today and tomorrow. drier toward labor day weekend. i want to focus on pinellas county. i want to zoom in to the st. pete area because we have a lot of roads that are flooding from the rain that came through. this could be a major issue, especially tomorrow as more rain comes through. this is what you need to know right now, martin luther king, some people call 9th, but martin luther completely blocked here between 38th avenue south right around that bend at jasmine way south. it is completely closed could be. due to flooding. and there's flooding that is continuing into other areas coming off of the lake as well. and we will have more on that. but you need to know, it's blocked completely here. and come over here, 4th street at this particular area near the lake turns into 6th street. so that's when you can take to get by 6th. it does run parallel.

mind, aside from that, traffic looks great on the interstates because basically school is out for many of the counties and the interstates look really good. not that many people on the roads. >> thank you so much. we want to take you to bradenton right now. this is a live look from eagle 8 hd over vista mobile home park. again, this is bradenton. it's located on 53rd avenue west and you can see that the water is inching very close to the there. and it's also an rv resort. but you can see a woman in the front driverway of the one home there. >> you really feel for her. >> she is trapped. as eagle 8 hd pulls out, you can see the flood waters are relentless in the community. some dry spots in the area. but thank goodness for the reprieve without all the rain because they need to dry up before the next wave of storms. >> and something i noticed here, these homes right now, the water is coming up to the

back up to where that woman was. notice that the driveway, the driveways have a pitch, more elevated. that could be helping them keep the water out. so forpet for them. but not so much for these folks here. you can see this car, that water rising several inch, almost to the halfway mark of the tire. >> right, so just perspective of how deep the water is. the folks who have not evacuated yet, they might to figure out how to get by. by car may not be you can see the flood water is deep. it's a large community there in bradenton off 53rd avenue west. if you're familiar with that area, it has a fishing pond. i'm sure the fish are having a field day, probably swimming through the streets. but serious flooding issue right now -- yeah, look at this gentleman trying to communicate with somebody driving through this. you don't want to displace the

see how it's pitched enough to raise the structure a little bit out of the water. and look at this poor guy. >> and again, point out, we've had this reprieve of rain for many, many hours throw the night. so they haven't been inundated with it but the rain is on the way again. so the hope is that these folks have either moving out now or making their way out because it could be a problem later with additional flooding. >> yeah, hopefully they'll stay with more water. again, live look here at the story and bring you developments as we learn more. for right now, back to the "today" show in progress. last night -- i use blue apron. >> what is that? >> it's a service so they deliver all of the ingredients for your meal but you still prepare it. there are several of them. i use a lot of them. >> training wheels. >> no. it's not like training wheels. it's like chef.

>> everybody is googable these days. >> even if you think, okay, it's only celebrities. google your name and even just your address and all of this stuff pops up about you. >> while you were on a hot date last night, i went out to the u.s. open. >> let me google that. >> u.s. open tennis. that's my friend there. you see the device in the ear there. they hand these it's espn. you can listen to the play by play. as i was listening, i could barely hear them. it's very chatty in the stadium these days. used to go to u.s. open with my dad way back in the day, you could hear a pin drop. these guys were so -- they did not let go how rude the audience was and i'm stunned by it. >> people were yelling. >> my gosh he's drinking beer

this is tennis. sure enough roker and lauer were back there. stunned by that. a big change. i wasn't ready for it frankly. >> i think it's because people aren't as purist about a lot of things anymore. you feel like i can do what i want to do. i bought the ticket. they can do whatever they want. >> nadal asked 15 times for silence. they kept reminding people and speaking of googable like we were a second ago, halle berry looking flawless at 50. >> don't google it. we'll show you. >> on instagram. unbelievable. >> if you are looking for fame, david spade is looking for you. his prank series is exactly what you would expect.
