they were able to let some of those people leave last night. as darkness fell, it became unsafe, there are people waiting for a forced evacuation this morning at 9:00 a.m. overnight the death toll began to rise, 23 fatalities this morning. some of the most devastating flooding in its history. ten inches of rain pounding west virginia in just 24 hours. up to 500 people overnight. national guard troops built a shoppers trapped over 24 hours. inside this mall after a bridge collapse near charleston. >> i was panicking. because i knew there was no way i could get to my daughter? we're a whole lot luckier than a lot of people. >> reporter: flood currents so swift, they proved deadly. fatality is climbing as hours passed. an 8-year-old boy and 4-year-old toddler among the dead. >> it's been a long 48 hours.

>> reporter: across the state, houses floating by on fire. cars, completely swept away with people still trapped inside. >> i watched my car kind of flip into the abyss. >> reporter: others without electricity. >> nobody has anything. >> reporter: no, you are saying, there is nowhere to go? >> no, there is nowhere to go. >> reporter: neighbors scrambling to recover what little they have left. >> i have been finding parts of it as i searched down i lived around here my entire life. i never seen anything to this level. >> reporter: pain shared by both residents and rescuers. >> in a small town, you might not know everybody's name, you are still familiar with faces and it hurts. >> reporter: right now, 44 counties remain under state of emergency while more than 19,000 homes in the state of west virginia don't have power.

get to these people still trapped inside. >> morgan, thank you. meantime, out west, a devastating scene in california as a raging wildfire burns out of control, more people are fleeing their homes, trying to get out of harm's way. we are following it from south lake, california, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, kate. we now know a little more about the two people killed in this fire. it was an elderly couple they tried to get away and fire crews are still searching to make sure everyone is accounted for. one by one homes exploding from the inside as a firestorm brought on by wind ripped through hillsides and decimated entire neighborhoods. by the time reenforcements arrived, block after block of this california community had been reduced to ruin.

>> reporter: over 100 homes and buildings destroyed, over 100 people in evacuation centers. >> that's all that i have. we got nothing. >> i lost everything i own, literally everything i own, but i'm alive and i have my dog. >> reporter: so far, more than 30,000 acres devoured, destruction so widespread the homes of both these two sisters burned to the ground. >> i think about you know the clothes my grandmother hands to me, they're the picture of my daughters that passed away, they're gone. >> reporter: meanwhile, at the head of the fire, other neighborhoods are under evacuation. families packing up, but also struggling with the idea of having to run away. >> you have a couple dogs, a couple cats. then once you evacuate, they will not let you back. >> reporter: but the danger of this fire now clear to this closed community. fire officials confirming the

>> reporter: today there is nothing left. >> it's going to be all right. i hope. >> reporter: overnight, fire crews arrived, more fire crews bolstering those numbers on the fire line. we are now at more than 800 firefighters protecting more than 1,500 buildings, homes and structures in this fire is only 5% contained. kate. >> gadi schwartz, you really feel for people out there. thank you so much. >> dylan is here for the fires in west. how does it look like? >> it's above average temperatures. it's very dry. winds are gusty. we have red flag warnings in the areas where these fires are still growing. we have humidity dropping down

gusting near 60 miles an hour, it helps to flood the rain. we need an increase in hume, unfortunately, humidity will go up a touch, it's still going to be exceptionally hot. not record breaking. temperatures will be above average. that will make it very, very dichl for the four fighters trying to fight these fires. look at sacramento, 100 degrees, vegas 109. phoeni running five to 10 degrees above average. it will stay hot across most of california. the same goes for southern california with your highs close to about 105 to 110 degrees. we are looking at improvele on the coast, nothing is showing up on the radar right now. tomorrow should be dry. however, i want to mention there is the possibility by sunday that we could start to see more showers and more brief heavy

these have the potential, not producing ten inches like in recent flooding. still an additional half an inch up to an inch of rain will exacerbate any of the flooding still going on. so sunday is the day to watch in west virginia again. >> thank you. to politics now, more than 24 hoursf britain's shocking vote to leave the european union, the presidential candidates are taking this opportunity to go after one another. donald trump praising the vote as he tours his golf courses in scotland again today. we have covag we start with nbc's katy tur. >> reporter: good morning, it's amazing he was praising scotland, one of the few places that voted overwhelmingly to stay in the eu. donald trump is seeing this as a victory for him. those wanting to leave the same points he tries to make on the

the vote to leave the eu, donald trump is living it up. heading to trump international golf links in aberdeen this morning. friday at trump's other scottish golf course, he praised the so-called brexit. >> they took back their country. that's a great thing. >> reporter: and shrugged off the years of a global recession. >> if the pound goes down, they will do more business. when the pound goes down, more people are frankly. >> past presidential hopefuls have gone abroad to boast their credentials, trump crossed the pond for his brand. >> inside the white house right now is incredible sweets. >> reporter: he didn't leave politics at the water's edge, standing on foreign soil and trashing president obama for encouraging the uk to stay in the eu before they voted. >> but when he said it, people were not happy about it.

inappropriate. >> reporter: trump commenting the vote to leave the eu was an endorsement of his platform. >> i really do see a parallel between what's happening in the united states and what's happening here. people want to see borders. >> reporter: aberdeen is trump's last stop before heading home. some locals can't wait to see him go. michael forbes is something of a local hero here, for refusing to sell his home so trump could expand his prochlts today he's stage a >> god help this country. in fact, god help the world. >> reporter: aberdeen is the tenth property that donald trump has taken campaign reporters to, leading critics as to wonder if this is more of a brand tour than a race for the white house. craig. >> katy tur for us in scotland, thank you. there is is excitement as well as disappointment over the vote. good morning. >> reporter: kate, good morning, president obama and hillary

opposition to brexit, striking the need for consistency and trade and foreign policy, their strategy now, have a stiff upper lip and take aim at donald trump. as global markets cratered friday, stocks getting hammered. today the dow dropped 611 points. >> reporter: president obama's message, keep calm and carry on. >> one thing that will not change is the special relationship that exists between our two ti >> that will endure. >> reporter: but britain's vote to leave the eu is a clear defeat for the president. mr. obama took a risk campaigning against it. hillary clinton also opposed the leave effort. in this video, her expain suggested at turnberry, his new golf resort, that marketably could be good for business. >> when the pound comes down, more people are coming to turnberry. >> hillary clinton drawing a

experience than donald trump. >> they will navigate this continued unexpected developments on the world stage. >> reporter: but the british exit could spell trouble for clinton if the u.s. economy stalls, voters might be more willing to give the white house to the other party. on friday a mixed page from bernie sanders. sanders says the vote confirms his argue that the global economy isn't working for everyone and yet for the first time sanders revealed he'll vote for his former ril. hillary clinton in nof? >> yes. i think the issue right here is i'm going to do everything i can to defeat donald trump. >> reporter: but some democrats are privately worried. the british exit underscores a stronger than expected populist deal here at home. >> if brexit deal is better for donald trump in the broader sense, populism, immigration into the country. anger at institutions.

clinton is working hard to rally the populist in her own party. she is expected to speak publicly for the first time tomorrow in indiana. >> msnbc contributor josh barrow. when you look at the parallels of what happened in britain with voters there and what's happening with voters here in the u.s. as we approach this election, do you parallel situations? >> i think there are broad similarities. i think there was a populist movement behind brexit and donald trump. i think there are differences. first of all, everyone was surprised by the polls. lead led and the polls in the eu rising, it was still basically a tie, whereas, donald trump has trailed quite significantly in nearly all of the polling in

electorates are different here in the uk. 83% is white. 63% in the u.s. is white non-hispanics. they are a lot easier to succeed in britain that is more homogenous over there. >> this was an emotional vote, because britain of all the countries didn't have the most reasons to leave the eu. >> yeah, the eu is a flawed institution t. biggest s relate to the euro, the currency, that caused big economic problems, especially in places like greece and italy. the uk isn't in the euro. it doesn't have the problems that continental europe had with not being able to control its borders. a lot of the complaints about the eu made lessens from the uk. i think in large part, this wasn't about the economy. you had experts lining up saying this will be bad, predicting what happened in the markets yesterday. one of the leading campaigners

during campaign that people in britain are sick and tired of experts. it sort of got made fun of at the time. the mood of the electorate were sick of being told, what was going to work in the economy, especially because so many things went wrong. there is a real decline of trust in experts and institutions. >> which is what donald trump supporters say all time. thanks so much, good to see you again. >> all of this is having a huge impact on world ma break this down for us. the dow closed 610 pints, that wiped out 8 million in value. >> good morning. >> yes, this is clearly important in the news, but for the average american, what does it mean to them? >> for the average american the first place they're going to notice is in their 401k. half of all americans have a 401

lost $3100. more long term americans will feel is this brings in all of this new financial uncertainty. that means the fed is a lot less likely to raise rates any time soon so that's food news if you are making mortgage payments, your rates will stay lower longer, it's bad news if you have a savings account, you are making basically zero interest still interest for those looking the market took such a massive hit s. is that a shock hit? >> the markets didn't expect this to come. they don't know what is coming next. that's a flashing sell signal for investors. that has people biting their nails t. fundamentals of the economy is good. we're 5% unemployment, growing at 2.5%.

were already betting on which would be the next european country to vote to leave the european union. they're worried about a lot of uncertainty ahead. this process is going at least a messy two-year divorce. we're not expecting any new info any time soon maybe in the words of jim cramer, it will put a lid all summer, it won't drag them down all summer. >> thank you to our own olivia stern. iis two escaped murder suspects is now back behind bars. the 29-year-old was nabbed after a relative tipped off authorities. he and a fellow inmate escaped through a hole in the jail. guards found them empty during a routine headcount. people in florida arrested quarterbook tavares jackson.
