good morning. please stand by. technical problems knock game air. >> we have lost -- we have lost our picture. >> the broadcast interrupted not once by twice for minutes at a time, delaying a dramatic game that ended in the wee hours of the morning. >> here comes escobar. the royals win game one! battle in boulder. the next republican presidential debate just hours away with ben carson the new national front-runner, so how is donald trump handling being number two? >> what the hell are you people

>> and florida senator marco rubio gets dealt a tough blow from one of his state's newspapers. green strike. >> a green laser hit. >> another passenger plane hit by a laser, this time over san diego's airport. the second incident there in recent weeks. and they are kind of hot. one of pop music's biggest acts, 5 seconds of summer heating up the fall and we have a huge crowd counting down to a live concert on our plaza today, wednesday, october 28th, 2015. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. and good morning, everyone. welcome to "today" on a wednesday morning. 5 seconds of summer, or as we might say in an hour 5 seconds of soggy.

crowd out on our plaza, they will play rain or shine in just a little bit. >> no umbrellas out there right now. that's a good sign. meanwhile, big debate tonight. we'll talk more about that, but we'll start with our top story. plenty of drama during the opening game of the world series between the kansas city royals and the new york mets, both on the field and in homes all across the country. that >> you said, it matt. it was a long night filled with because of the game. millions of fans were watching the royals take on the mets last night when technical difficulties brought the opener of the fall classic to a halt. >> we have lost -- we have lost our picture. hi. we're having some technical difficulties. >> in the middle of the fourth inning for mets and royals fans it seemed like it was game over. >> i don't think it was a weather problem because it wasn't raining at the time of this. we lost power to the truck, we're being told, but as soon as we regain power we will get it

>> reaction on social media was instant. this is what happens when you don't pay the bills. dear fox. did you try unplugging it and plugging it back in? for four minutes technicians scrambled as analysts stretched. >> all right. i hear our music. does that mean we're going back to kansas city? >> the broadcast resumed with fox sports international coverage forced to take over. >> and the u.s. broadcasters of this event are having a broadcast issue. >> for another nine minutes everything seemed to be fine until it happened again. >> once again, we're having some technical difficulties in kansas city. once we regain power to our there. are we heading back there now? >> it's not the first time things have gone wrong with all eyes on the big game. >> half the power is out. >> remember when the lights went

out during super bowl xlvii or when an earthquake hit during game three of the 1989 world series in san francisco. as for this technical difficulty, fox released a statement overnight saying in part that a rare electronics failure cause the both the primary and backup generators inside the fox sports production compound to lose power. and as the fall classic finally got up and running, turns out it was only the beginning after the royals tied the game in the bottom of the ninth. it went on for another five innings past 1:00 a.m. >> into right. granderson back, escobar tags and here comes escobar. >> when the royals beat the mets 5-4 in the bottom of the 14th, the longest game one in world series history. the longest game one and the longest night for the poor fox announcers who had to do a mean tap dance. >> we've all been there. it's no fun, and our hats go off to them for trying their best. >> i know.

in a truck somewhere saying this wasn't for the coffee pot, no, okay. >> exactly. >> and, you know, the internet was not kind, that's for sure. one other thing getting attention, the father of the royals starting pitcher edison volquez died in the dominican republic prior to the game. his wife told the team and asked her not to tell her husband until after he finished pitching. the team also asked fox not to broadcast it so he wouldn't have to hear it in the clubhouse and eventually his wife did tell him after he was taken in the game after pitching six innings, and he left the stadium with his family so our hearts go out to him as well. >> absolutely. >> natalie, thank you very much. >> we move now to politics, the presidential race, big night tonight. the republican candidates set to debate in colorado with a new front-runner in place. ben carson has now inched ahead of donald trump in national polls. this is just the late twist in an already volatile race. we've got it all covered for you this morning. we'll start with nbc's national correspondent peter alexander. he is in boulder as t the debate

peter, good morning. savannah. this is debate night just ahead of us right now, and it will be the first real showdown between the top two republican candidates, two men with polar opposite personalities, donald trump and ben carson. how will trump respond for falling out of first for the first time? well, we may have got a clue overnight in a rally that pep talk. iowa, please. this is ridiculous. >> reporter: donald trump for the first time in months dealing with life somewhere other than first place. >> i mean, i am second, it's not like terrible, but i don't like being second. second is terrible to me. what the hell are you people doing to me? >> reporter: republicans remain deeply divided. only 48% say they would support ben carson enthusiastically if he's the nominee, just 29% for trump and only 18% for jeb bush. still, trump quickly cast a potential loss as a campaign win.

>> it's certainly a possibility that i won't make it. i'll still be proud of my effort because i think i've done very well. >> i've about had it with these people. >> reporter: lagging behind in the polls ohio governor john kasich who stayed out of the fray until now ripping into his republican rivals, trump, carson and bush. >> i'm done with being polite and listening to this nonsense, and it's time we educate the american people about the consequences of very bad choices. >> reporter: after huddling with his family in houston, bush will try to kick start his campaign gearing up by hiking with veterans here in colorado but with weak poll numbers he faces a tough climb tonight. marco rubio's advisers telling nbc news they know he'll have a bullseye on his back. one major newspaper slammed the candidate overnight for his record of missing more roll calls than any other senator this year. the "sun sentinel" writing you are paid $174,000 per year to represent us, to fight for us, to solve our problems. you are ripping us off, senator. earlier this month rubio spoke

out about the issue, defending himself on "today." >> everyone that's run for president in the past has faced this. there are times when you're not going to be there. my visions are for the country and for florida, and that's why i'm running for president. >> reporter: and it turns out the first debate battle may have actually started last night over green rooms of all things. after a walk-through here at the site yesterday, chris christie and the rand paul campaigns complained that the higher polling candidates received preferential treatment from the republican national committee. here's what the green rooms looked like. trump you can see with a spacious room, plush chairs, that flat screen. another tweet showed rand paul's with a white concrete set of walls and a toilet in the back and then for rubio, quote, check out marco's theater, all sorts of plush chairs in there for him and his team. all is well apparently thaernds well. the paul campaign tweeting out overnight they have finally upgraded their quarters and they are satisfied with the way things ended up. >> everybody wants a first class seat, right?

peter alexander in boulder, thank you so much. let's bring in our panelist, nicole wallis, msnbc analyst and former white house communications for president george w. bush and steve kornacki, msnbc political correspondent. >> is it fair to say that donald trump is a guy who depends a lot on confidence and bravado and now that he knows he's no longer the national front-runner, steve, i'll start with you, how is this hit to his ego going to impact his performance tonight in your opinion? >> it's interesting. i think we got a good tees last night of what to expect that. bravado and swagger, he thinks he has to crank it up a little bit in the situation where the national numbers are starting to fall but interesting thing is this. the fact that it's carson of all people who has overtaken him. carson has to be his target. when you look inside the numbers, there is no republican candidate who republican voters respect, like and really you could use the word revere more than ben carson, so there's a big risk there for donald trump in turning his fire on somebody like that. >> nicole, if you're ben carson you're now the front-runner

nationally how does name pact your performance? >> i heard something comforting from a doctor of all people who said he was an excellent doctor which doesn't surprise me, but back to trump's numbers. inside the polls it does reveal that people still think trump is more electable with carson, while they are having a love affair with carson, love his civility and demeanor and love his record as a physician, who doesn't love their physician, but i think that the political awards for chutzpah still go to trump and i lost way he answer the the questions in your town hall and he asked about humility and he said i can't show that side of myself so i think supporters will really like what they are seeing. >> i bet if you polled this group you would say jeb bush needs a breakout performance. he's been training his fire on marco rubio as of late and rubio was dealt a break. "the sun sentinel" said resign your seat. if you hate the senate, leave. how much might that affect what happens? >> that's one of the questions, too, because what jeb bush has to show in this is something he

hasn't shown in these debates it's life, energy, that knock from donald trump that i think has haunted jeb bush the last few months, the low energy knock, so he's got to show up tonight, and he's got to show some energy, but he also has to deal with the fact that he's been overtaken by marco rubio and overtaken by ted cruz. he has to draw a contrast and the challenge there he's got ammunition to go after marco rubio but when it comes to glibness, the performance aspect of politics, marco rubio so far has been much stronger than jeb bush. if you're jeb bush and start that fight, have you to make sure you can win that fight because marco rubio can parry with you. >> others that need to turn it up, john kasich and carly fiorina who was boosted up after the last debate and dropped back down and we'll be talking about hillary clinton, and we'll talk about her in a second. how often do you expect her name to come up given last week because last week he she had a

>> i think bush will show the voters he can be the nominee. hillary clinton is experience and her asset is confidence. that's what she will sell to the electorate next fall. he needs to present himself as a guy that can best go toe to toe with her experience in government. >> all right. nicolle wallace, steve kornacki, good to have you both here. thank you. >> more on the front-runner on the democratic side, hillary clinton, nbc's kristen welker is in new hampshire where clinton is campaigning today. kristen, good morning to you. >> reporter: hey, matt, good morning to you, that's right. secretary clinton will be far from the debate stage, instead courting voters here in new hampshire, but she's got her own battle plan heading into tonight. with republicans set to go on the attack tonight, secretary hillary clinton is preparing to counterpunch releasing four sleek new ads during tonight's gop debate in iowa and new hampshire, 309-second spots aimed at prebutting the republicans by painting clinton

voters touting equal pay and college affordability. >> i'm hillary clinton, and i approve this message. >> reporter: new ad campaign comes as clinton is gaining strength. a new poll in iowa shows she's trouncing vermont senator bernie sanders by a whopping 41 points. 65% to 24%. it's the first poll of its kind conducted on the heels of clinton testifying before the benghazi committee, and after vice president biden announced he's not entering the race. part of clinton's strategy, distancing herself from some of the obama administration's more controversial policies, such as bailing out the banks, on display tuesday night when she appeared on "the late show" with escole sigalert if you're >> yes. >> and -- and the bakes -- and the banks are failing, do we let them fail this time? >> yes, yeah. >> we let them fail this time? >> yes, yes, yes. >> wow. >> they will fail, and the if they are too big to fail, then under my plan and others that

to be broken up. >> reporter: all this while trying to connect with voters on a more personal level, letting people in on what she's binge watching. cards." it took a while because we were -- >> reporter: while clinton is firmly in the lead in iowa, the race gets much tighter here in new hampshire where one recent poll shows her running neck in neck with vermont senator bernie sanders. she will try to gain more traction during a politics and egg breakfast a little later today. matt, savannah. >> thank you very much. a reminder you can catch the republican debate, "your money, your vote the" tonight at 8:00 eastern on cnbc. now to a surprising shift out of washington. defense secretary ash carter saying the pentagon will step up its attacks on isis in syria and iraq, including the possibility of, quote, direct action on the ground by use troops. nbc's chief foreign correspondent richard engel has more on this. richard, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. this administration has long

strategy against isis, and it's struggling again with the white house insisting nothing has change the, even as the pentagon is considering an expanding role for u.s. troops in both iraq and syria. when american and kurdish commandos stormed into an isis prison last week freeing hostages, it was the first time the world saw u.s. troops in combat against isis. defense secretary ashton carter told congress there will be more missions like this. >> we won't hold back from supporting capable partners in opportunistic attacks against isil or conducting such missions directly, whether by strikes from the air or direct action on the ground. >> reporter: but direct action on the ground sounds a lot different from what the president has repeatedly promised. >> the american forces that have been deployed to iraq do not and will not have a combat mission. >> reporter: the white house seems to want it both ways,

in combat, only small numbers of special ops forces will do that. to some it's washington double speak. >> anybody in combat is boots on the ground. the white house has been trying to play politics here and try to convince everybody that special operations forces are not boots on the ground. >> reporter: u.s. has already lost one soldier, master sergeant joshua wheeler, in close combat with isis. the pentagon says there will be more dangerous raids to come, so the u.s. admitting it or not appears to be getting deeper into the war on isis. and to make it even more complex, an iraqi official, a government spokesman, told nbc that his government does not want american troops on the ground engaging in direct combat unless there is specific approval from the government. savannah, matt, back to you. >> richard engel on that big headline, thank you. yet another laser strike on a passenger plane is under investigation this morning. this late incident overnight

near the airport in san diego. nbc's tom costello covers aviation for us. tom, good morning. >> reporter: hi, matt. this is a growing problem across the country. these lasers start out with a small point of light, but as that beam travels it widens out and can light up an entire cockpit and blind the crew this. late incident, as you said, happened last night, 9:00 in the san diego as an american airlines flight from phoenix was landing at lindbergh field. we can tell you the plane was four or five miles out when the pilot radioed air traffic control to report they had been hit by a green laser. >> a laser just south of a two miles inbound, about two miles from the ground, a green laser 563. >> reporter: san diego airport representative says the pilot american airlines says that's not true. the crew declined medical treatment. we've seen previous cases that the pilots have actually suffered temporary blindness, including retinal damage when

both the fbi and the faa take this very seriously. the fbi says there were last years almost 4,000 cases of lasers hitting planes, targeting federal crime. the penalty is up to 20 years in prison and a quarter million dollar fine. matt? >> tom costello in washington, thank you very much. in other news, former house speaker dennis hastert is expected to plead guilty today in his hush money case stemming from improprieties committed decades ago. >> an indictment that hastert alleged to pay $3.5 million to an individual to hide a past wrongdoing. the indictment didn't specify, but a.p. has reported the payments were meant to conceal claims of sexual misconduct. a plea agreement would allow the 73-year-old hastert to avoid trial and perhaps keep the details of the case secret. the storms tied to the remnants of hurricane patricia are said to intensify today, the threat expanding to include most of the east coast. dylan is here and is in for al and talking about rain and

damaging winds. >> yes, that's what we're going to see. not raining here in new york and might actually hold off until the concert is over. that's a good thing, and the heaviest rain right now is back through ohio and the eastern great lakes and later on this afternoon this area of low pressure is going to intensify. that's what we're going to seat heavier rain take hold of the east coast and then eventually move up to new england as we move into tunnel. we could see wind gusts up near 55 miles per hour and some isolated stronger storms once this whole thing intensifies, and that could lead to an isolate the tornado. so here we go through 7:00 tonight. that's when the heavier rain really starts to fall from new york city down to philadelphia into washington, d.c., and then as we go into tonight and tomorrow the heavier rain moves up into boston, up through downeast maine and on thursday the whole thing will start to pull away. the winds could linger. could see major airport delays from boston into new york city and washington, d.c. later on this evening. how much rain will we see? looks like a widespread inch or two with some isolate the the higher amounts up near three inches.

also looking at a lot of onshore flow and that could lead at coastal flooding right through the beaches with minor beach erosion. doesn't look like that will be all that significant. that's good. very good. you see something moving off the shelves and your first thought is to investigate the company. you are type e . yes, investment opportunities can be anywhere... or not. but you know the difference. e trade' s bar code scanner. shorten the distance between intuition and action. e trade opportunity is everywhere. >> reporter: good morning. grab the rain gear. we have rain in new york and pennsylvania. heads into new england this afternoon. around 3:00, 4:00 p.m. light showers. steadier rain toward the back end of the evening commute. then we'll have rain overnight tonight. that's with us up until about 6:00, 7:00 tomorrow morning.

this storm? most towns around an inch of rain. some locations close to 2. that might lead to minor street flooding where you have forecast. >> all right, dylan, thank you very much. coming up, the fbi and justice department open investigations into that violent arrest of a high school student in south carolina. this morning one her classmates who caught it on video is speaking out. >> and prince harry goes to washington. the

was in that classroom. "today" national correspondent craig melvin has the story. craig, good morning. >> reporter: matt, good morning to you. this is the latest case raising questions about excessive police force. the 16-year-old female student was tossed to the floor in her math class monday behind me. the deputy who did that, as for his fate, the sheriff will decide whether to keep him or fire him by the end of the day. mean while lawyer representing the girl tossed to the floor says she's hurting. across the country growing outrage this morning of the video now viral social media still lighting up, school resource officer ben fields called in when a student refuses a teacher's request to leave the classroom. >> she was tossed like a weight doll by a 300-pound weightlifting man. >> reporter: this is the lawyer who represents the student seen in the video and he says there's no way she's going to be okay. >> she has a cast on her arm and injuries to her back and

injuries to her neck and to her forehead and injuries to her arm. >> reporter: tuesday night a tense school board meeting. >> you do not treat a child like that. >> that student was given ample opportunity to do the right thing and she chose to not do that. >> please stop blaming victims when they are victim of excess excessive force. >> reporter: ben sfeelds a senior deputy and received a culture of excellence award from one of the district schools last year. nia kinny shot one of the video. >> i just told my class, y'all, get your cameras out, get your cameras out because we already know his reputation. >> reporter: what was his reputation? >> known as officer slam. >> reporter: kinny was arrested for disturbing schools and is out on bond and other students have a different view of fields. >> he's a really good officer, and sometimes he can be like pretty mean, but he can also be a really nice office sneer sheriff lyon lott say some witnesses say he did what he had to do. lott is reviewing the video shows.

>> it shows the student hitting the school resource officer with her fist and striking. what she does is not what i'm looking at. what i'm looking sat what our school resource officer did. >> reporter: nbc news tried melt multiple times to reach fields unsuccessfully. what would you say to those she's clearly resisting arrest? >> i would say that this officer had no business in the classroom. multiple things that he could have done. nothing justifies what he did. >> reporter: sheriff lott insists that his officers are taught to de-escalate situations before using force, especially in school settings. additionally officer fields has been placed on leave with pay while investigation continues. he's been banned from school grounds. there is one thing that the sheriff and the attorney for the girl thrown to the floor agree on. cases like this aren't necessarily becoming more common. it's that everyone, even in classrooms now, have these and when they see police interacting they start to roll video. matt, savannah?

>> all right. craig, thanks very much, walking around yesterday crossing in front of television sets, that video was on over and over again all day long. it will be very interesting to see what those investigations turn up. >> as craig mention the the video is really a game-changener those investigations. moving to another topic, new online. we all have been told to change our passwords on a regular basis but are the ones we're picking too short, too obvious? nbc's tom costello is back with more of our "hacking of america" series. tom, good morning. >> reporter: savannah, good morning. do you use the same password for most of your online accounts and apps, bad idea, cyber criminals, listen to this, are offering $7 to $20 per passwords so using your kids' name, street you grew up on, maiden name, that can leave you very vulnerable. there's some of the easiest passwords to remember but experts say some of the worst possible choices. a favorite sports team and a number, your high school or

college and graduation year, a child's name and birthday, and maybe the worst password password even with a series of trailing numbers. >> we picked up 2,372 passwords in a matter of seconds. >> reporter: that's james line, he have of security at sophos, passwords on the internet like candy. he's fed them into a common wednesdayite used by hackers. >> these are people's passwords right here that are available on the internet. >> a lot of them are passwords that people would assume are secure. >> reporter: not so much. password cracking programs are constantly targeting banks, insurance companies, retailers and any place that stores your personal information. how easy is it, let's just say thankfully james is one of the good guys. >> you can see this has popped up on the screen. >> reporter: you've already got my password on your screen.

>> costello123, very original. >> reporter: while most websites run sophisticated security software to protect customer passwords it only takes one breech to compromise you and most of us use rather weak passwords like any word found in the dictionary followed by numbers so here's what you really need to know. forget eight-character passwords. security pros say you need at least 14, even better 28 or 36. how do you remember 36-character passwords. >> why not take an easy-to-type sentence. take the lyrics from a song that you can remember, you take we built this city on rock 'n' roll. >> reporter: 34 characters when you include the spaces. combine that are some numbers, some symbols and we have something that would be an astronomical amount of computer and trivial for me as a human. >> reporter: use phrases, song lyrics or gibbery you remember and mix english words with another language, add special characters and numbers and use

typing and what if you forget your password. how should you answer the security passwords, mother's maiden name, street you grew up on, favorite color. >> you get questions, if you forget your password, should you be honest in the. >> lie through your teeth. if you use honest details the cyber criminals will be able to find that on your social media page and numerous other pages. >> reporter: not all security pros agree with jails. some say it's better to be honest about the challenge questions because you never know if you're going to forget your fake answers but everybody does agree that using a password manager is a very good idea. you may already have it on your computer. it stores all of your passwords automatically. that way you only have to remember one password, not two dozen or so. guys, back to you. >> hope that one doesn't get hacked. what if they get that password, like the rosetta stone. >> tom, thank you very much.

>> let's get at check of the weather from dylan who is in for al. >> it is going to be a windy day today, not just in the northeast but also back through the northern plains as well where we do have some wind advisories from north and south dakota, winds could gust up to 40 and 50 miles per hour and in the northeast this could lead to some airport delays, especially later on in boston. we're looking at winds to gust up to near 55 miles per hour, but today, right now, this area of low pressure is still back through the western great lakes. that's where the windiest conditions are, but then as it moves to the east we'll start to see those winds gusting again, up near 40 to 50 miles per hour, so it's a powerful storm, and it's also producing a lot of rain, too. again, isolated amounts up near 3 inches or so and could see isolated severe storms through the mid-atlantic. on the back side a couple inches of heavy wet snow possible through west central parts of minnesota. >> reporter: good morning. grab the rain gear. we have rain in new york and pennsylvania. heads into new england this afternoon. around 3:00, 4:00 p.m. light showers. steadier rain toward the back

then we'll have rain overnight tonight. that's with us up until about 6:00, 7:00 tomorrow morning. and then things will settle down after that. how much rain is to be way with this storm? most towns around an inch of rain. some locations close to 2. that might lead to minor street flooding where you have clogged >> and that's your late forecast. >> dylan, thank you. a young woman vanishes in the middle of the night and is found nine miles away at a relative's home. the question this morning did she sleepwalk there in. plus, the prince and the president. the big plans on harry's agenda as he heads to washington today. but, first, these messages. guapo doesn't know that he's eating natural food made with real quality ingredients, and no soy, no wheat, and no corn. all he knows is, there will be no crumb left behind, and you're to thank for it! petsmart has a wide selection of natural foods and knowledgable associates to help you

the 30 empty champagne bottles. >> all right. when your kids misbehave, it's your instinct to do something like say you should apologize, right, and make them say i'm sorry, but a child psychologist says you should never force them to say that. she argues most kids don't mean it when you force them and you could be shaming them and only making them feel worse. so what is a parent to do? well, you're supposed to help them figure out how to fix the situation. the psychologist laura markham says give your child some ideas, but ultimately let the child choose what he or she should do to make things better. >> what do you think in. >> i can understand that. >> case-by-case better. >> but if the child did something a little egregious and something. >> isn't that what you're teaching them. something. >> i say sorry for everything. someone walks into me, it's like i'm sorry, so i guess i don't

>> i guess i was forced to say i'm sorry when i was little. >> good person, good heart. >> 6-year-old who gets it, my 3-year-old, i feel like she might feel a little bit of that shame. it's an interesting point. >> it is would. it be better if it came from the heart but at some point you have to teach them. earlier natalie was talking about the major disruption at the world series. and the on twitter people vented about the so-called technical difficulties when the world series went out for a couple of minutes. of course, people had some time on their hands. >> right. >> if the game wasn't on so they came up with fun meme sze, exclusive image of the fox sports broadcasters during the outage. a look inside the fox sports control room, and when the game resumed, of course, sources say this is the man who brought back fox's world series. >> that's the hero. >> love it. >> yay. >> the griswolds. >> bad karma for us to be pulling up. >> i know. >> at their expense. >> exactly. >> all right. now to khloe kardashian speaking

what stunned "the voice" coaches into silence? carson? "pop start." >> the my original room hit. first, khloe kardashian speaking out for the first time since lamar odom was hospitalized and setting the record straight about their relationship. khloe is on the cover of "people" magazine just out this morning responding to rumors that their divorce is off following his hospitalization. khloe saying that while she still loves lamar the two are not getting back together. there you go. jimmy fallon had a bit of a roller coaster week, we all know, that celebrating at harvard he injured his other hand so the news he broke on his show last night is pretty fitting. jimmy is getting his own roller coaster ride at universal orlando resort called race through new york starring jimmy fallon. it will open in 2017. jimmy saying it will be just like the harry potter ride except it's new york city, maybe they will be sitting in little yag mifrter bottles. >> next to the hospital. >> and you're one of the biggest

actually get to have. >> that is cool, beautiful. >> dylan, a check of the weather. >> no rain until after this concert, but we will see some heavy rain move through later on today. we are looking at also very gusty winds. gusts up to 45, 50 miles per hour from the mid-atlantic and great lakes today. tonight this whole storm system moves up into new england where we will see heavier rain into boston. gusts could be as high as 50 to 60 miles per hour, and then tomorrow we're also looking at some snow to develop back through the northern ro >> reporter: good morning. grab the rain gear. we have rain in new york and pennsylvania. heads into new england this afternoon. around 3:00, 4:00 p.m. light showers. steadier rain toward the back end of the evening commute. then we'll have rain overnight tonight. that's with us up until about 6:00, 7:00 tomorrow morning. and then things will settle down after that. how much rain is to be way with this storm? most towns around an inch of rain. some locations close to 2.

flooding where you have clogged >> and i think we've found the best seat in the house. how excited are you girls? >> very. >> very excited. >> what song are you hoping they play next "she's kinda hot". >> and i think there's a chance that that could be the next song coming up. guys? >> dylan, thank you very much. now to our revealing conversation with drew barrymore. her journal frechild star to hollywood a-lister is filled with interesting chapters and opens up with some of them in her new autobiography called "wild flower. ". >> the life is when you remember it is not in order so i thought these stories would be better like a shuffled deck of cards because that's truly how we remember our lives. >> drew barrymore has lived a fascinating life, famous by age 7 7.

>> thanks for this award. >> and after starring in the hit film "e.t." >> aghh! >> at 1 she was e mancipated from her mother, one of the chapters in her life and new autobiography "wild flower." >> the one of the sentences that stood out to me in your book when you talked about your mom you said zero protection, zero consistency. >> yeah. >> and that's a haunting sentence. >> yeah, and i hope, you know, that she knows when she reads it, because we've talked about, you know, the book and she's going to read it, but i think she will understand, and, you know, she will read in the next sentence that i give her a compliment, but, yeah, our lifestyle together was not traditional, so putting it mildly. like walking away from my mom and shaking hands and saying we need to emancipate. that was the facts, where our journey led us to and we were actually okay with that that's where we needed to go at that point.

>> i just want to focus for a moment on the literal fact that as a young girl. >> yeah. >> you hadn't been taught how to do the laundry. >> yeah. >> or you need to clean out your fridge. >> yeah. >> all those foundational elements were missing which i find to make it all the more impressive what you've made of yourself. >> thank you. ikea furniture will also send one into a very dark spiral. >> that little wrench. >> yeah. i feel like i could run a company but that ikea furniture still to this day i'm like how is that going to erect itself? >> do you ever think about how much different things could have been for you had you had these exact same set of experiences in this age where everything is so public and it's so unforgiving? >> well, i did have that, like in the '80s, you know, i was like on the cover of the "national enquirer" and that's the worst feeling ever, but, on

the other hand, having a very public experience when i was young taught me a lot about responsibility in a weird way. it definitely gave me a wake-up call of like, okay, if, you know, everyone is going to run your business, maybe you would like your business to be really classy, and that's a hard lesson, but it was a very good lesson for me. >> drew's life has been full of lessons which have helped her as she and her husband raise their two daughters 3-year-old olive and 18-month-old frankie. the book, drew says, is a love letter to her girls. >> i do think i have a responsibility to tell my daughters why i feel the way i feel about things, why i've become this person, how i became the person i am, the truth and nothing but the truth. >> do you ever think about them when they get older looking at some of the crazier past, parts of your life in. >> sure, when people are like aren't you worried that people

b, i hope in some ways they do now, in the later years and in the younger years like they are not going to have my life, you know. not going to studio 54 at 7 years old will probably make them a lot more normal than i was. >> drew's book is full of personal and sometimes candid details. she reveals that she had post-partum depression following the birth of her second daughter writing i just felt like a failure on every level, but she overcame those feelings and says parenting is something she has dedicated her life to. >> i'm glad i did it when i was older, because i got to be a lot more willing to be selfless and turn it all over to them. if i hadn't had such an odd childhood i'm not sure i would be this voracious to be traditional and, you know. >> i remember once as a little girl asking my mom, you know, why didn't you have any other kids after me, and my mom said, well, i just knew after you came my family was complete, which i actually think is a great hall fame mom response.

>> so i guess that's my way of sort of asking like do you feel like your family is complete? >> i feel pretty complete now. i feel like certain things are settled. certain things still feel, you know, like they are constantly garden. i think things are good. >> we could have sat and talked all day long, cameras or not. she's amazing. >> and she says, you know, you ever think about what happens if your daughters turn out like you, i think they would be really lucky to turn out like her. i think she's an impressive, impressive lady. >> and all the more impressive when you think about what an unorthodox childhood she had. truly a self-made woman and she writes a lot about her friends and career, including some great stories, really cute stories from the set of "e.t." and read an excerpt were "wild flower" at our websited a today.com. >> up next, it'slmost time.
