the brake. it ran right in front of me. bam, $6,000 damage to my car. >> my first accident was with a deer. >> most of the cars in the body shop being repaired, were from deer collisions. it was around this time of year. a lot of, they're out there now. i see them every morning driving in now. and they blend right in with the background. that's the other problem. you can't tell. >> a word to the wise, they are out there. we know >> how much more of this do we have to put up with? i'm ready for fall. i'm done. let's move out of the 80s. take a look outside. there's the sky overlooking washington, d.c. and american university in the foreground. off in the distance, on the horizon is tyson's corner. don't have any rain or anything on storm team 4 radar. the temperatures are climbing into the 70s, 75 at reagan national. on its way to the low 80s, a

natural gas at home? what if you hear that hissing noise of the gas leak or you catch a whiff of that rotten egg smell? would you know what to do next? keep watching, nbc's jeff rossen is about to show you. >> it's the latest explosion caught on camera. people running for their lives. an entire building up in flames. it's buildings completely obliterated, parts of buildings all over the street. >> the culprit, officials say? a gas leak. eight people injured, including emergency responders. making desperate calls for help. >> mayday, mayday. >> just two weeks ago, another gas explosion in new jersey. two homes completely leveled. luckily, only minor injuries. >> and believe it or not, it's more common than you think. >> oh, my god it blew up a

homes as flames shoot in the air. >> oh, my god, the house, there's lots of flames. >> natural gas blowing houses to bits. >> there were big flames coming from the house. >> police dash cam rolling as this house explodes. injuring 15. so what do you do if you hear that his or smell gas inside your home? >> there's a few things you can do. >> james altman >> if you want to walk over to the stove. make sure all your burners are turned off. >> that's a common mistake? >> absolutely. somebody bumps it, they turn it on and now you have free-flowing gas. >> if the stove is off, then what? >> don't use any lights or open flame. >> so even though it's dark out, don't turn on the lights? >> that could bleed into a spark which causes an explosion. you want it make sure you have a flashlight handy. >> won't cause an explosion in.

the gases out. >> you want to make sure you ventilate the house. >> and when you open door and leave, keep it open. >> another great tip, to know where the gas meter is on your home. >> when there's not an emergency like right now. come out your house to check to see where it is. >> know where it's at, know where to operate it. up and down is on. perpendicular, means it's off. >> you have a wrench on, and quarter-turn it until it's off. >> and finally you want to how far away do you need to be to make sure you're safe? >> you want to make sure across the street. somewhere where you feel is safe. once you get there, you want to make sure you dial 911 from there. >> simple tips to keep your family safe. and your home standing. >> some scary scenes there, jeff rossen reporting. here's another tip, if you

could be a sign of a leak. the gas could be pouring out of the pipes. if you see any of those things, call 911 immediately and call the gas company. >> after the break, a look at how to explain the name-calling involved in this year's election to your children. >> we do a little fact-checking on both candidates.

can you make the same comment that you will absolutely, sir, that you will absolutely accept the results of this election? >> i will look it at the time. i'm not looking at anything now. i will look at it at the time. >> let me respond to that, that's horrifying. >> look -- from everything i see, has no respect for this person. >> well that's because he would rather have a puppet as >> no puppet. no puppet. >> it's pretty clear -- >> you're the puppet! >> both candidates have their fair share of inaccurate statements in last night's debate. let's start with a fact-check on what donald trump said about hillary clinton's position on abortion. >> if you go with what hillary is saying in the ninth month, you can take the baby and rip the baby out of the womb of the

okay. and hillary can say that that's okay. but it's not okay with me. >> according to nbc news, that's mostly false. trump misstates clinton's position on abortion, in 2003, then senator hillary clinton voted against the federal partial birth abortion ban, because it lacked an exception for the woman's health and life. hillary clinton was asked about the thousands of emails that have been released by wikileaks. in a 2013 speech to a brazilian bank. have a listen. >> well if you went on to read the rest of the sentence, i was talking about energy. you know we trade more energy with our neighbors than we trade with the rest of the world combined. and i do want us to have an electric grid, an energy system that crosses borders. i think that would be a great benefit to us. >> well according to the nbc

energy. but apparently less than an open border, that immigrants can spill across at will. according to the transcript clinton said in this speech, that my dream is a hemispheric common market with open trade and open borders, sometime in the future, with energy that is as green as sustain alba as we can get it. powering growth and opportunity for every person in the hemisphere. the remarks suggest a broad interest in open trade. but we're not necessarily ev the unfettered movement of people as trump suggested. >> we have much more on the debate on the nbc washington app, including the top tweets from the face-off. just search debate. well it's been a contentious campaign season. and parents are finding it hard to decide if their children should be watching this stuff. nbc's rehema ellis has more on how teachers are trying to tackle the tough issues while teaching about the democratic

>> it's not easy teaching seventh graders lessons in civics. >> you've got to have pros and cons. >> during a campaign that's anything but civilized. in one word, describe how you feel about this presidential campaign. >> doubtful. >> disappointed. >> nervous. >> why are you nervous? >> because these candidates are the people who are deciding our future. >> the principal at pinellas park middle candidates' behavior contradicts educators' messages about appropriate conduct. >> you see highly paid professionals, highly educated people, that are basically bullying each other in front of millions of viewers. and the kids come to school and we tell them it's inappropriate behavior. >> donald trump is being disrespectful to women and i don't like that. >> she lied about like the 33,000 like emails.

>> it's a hard election for students, it's a hard election for adults. >> as the final weeks of the election unfold -- >> i would say to donald, you need to be more respectful towards the united states and women. and i would tell to hillary, that you just need to be honest and tell the truth. >> it's hard to see what would happen to the country if one were elected. so that's what makes i think everybody anxious. and uncomfortable. >> but one of them will be elected. >> >> a sigh, that pretty much sums up the nation's feelings. rehema ellis, nbc news, pinellas park, florida. that was rehema ellis reporting. the numbers are shocking -- and yet, it may be striking closer to home than you know or can admit. on average, nearly 20 people per minute are being physically abused by an intimate partner. in this country. that equates to more than 10

every year. all this month we're continuing to shed light on the issue of domestic violence, it's a frightening, sometimes deadly situation that more people than you might imagine experience. and joining us is dr. glenda hodges, founder and ceo of community-based empowerment organization called still i rise. welcome, good to have you with us. >> thank you so much, barbara. >> how did you happen to start this still i rise? >> well in 2001, my life in the presence of her then 5-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter. thank god she did survive and she left him. but in 2006 she married another person who was just like him. he didn't physically abuse her, but he psychologically abused her. so i was really motivated to do something and to try to help her. so hence the birth of still i rise. and the name from maya angelou's poem, "still i rise."

going through. i think we need laws to let the abusers know that we're not going to continue to allow you to do this to the victims. some of the victims are suffering in silence. they actually -- >> most of them are. >> that's exactly right. they've been victimized for years, the laws need to be tougher, they need to be more stringent. once we discover that you are indeed a batterer, that the laws will then be protecting the victim and not so much getting the victim, the abuser, getting them off or allowing them an opportunity to go back and revictimize the same person. >> dr. glenda hodges, thank you so much for what you do and for coming to talk to us. >> thank you for having me. doctor, barbara, thank you. get ready for changes, the sun is out and the temperatures are up again. but tomorrow, awhat, tomorrow we have a very different weather story and tom is coming back to talk to us about the chi fios ills not cable. we're wid differently.

i'm melissa at the live desk. another woman has come forward with accusations of sexual misconduct by donald trump. corina virginia says trump inappropriately touched her back in 1998 at the u.s. open tennis tournament in flushing, queens new york. she said she was waiting for a car to pick her up when she overheard him talking about her. she said he later approached her. this is the first time corina has spoken in public about the allegations, take a one. we haven't seen her before. look at those legs. he then walked up to me and reached his right arm and grabbed my right arm. then his hand touched the right inside of my breast. >> now since all of this is

had time to respond. and nbc has not verified the allegations. nine women have come forward here, trump has called all of the accusations lies and fiction, during last night's debate he said the claims have been largely debunked and their stories are false. also worth mentioning, her attorney, gloria allred is a clinton supporter. you or your children may have been one of the 19 million people who took part in the great shakeout t businesses, people around the world dropped and took cover as part of an earthquake preparedness drill. the shakeout began in southern california and has grown to include participants across the u.s. and japan. southern italy. new zealand and parts of canada as well. >> well, we certainly have to, because we had an earthquake in our area, remember that, tom? thinking about that. how -- >> a few years ago. >> five?

often in our area. >> but i'll never forget the image of my refrigerator rocking back and forth in my kitchen. what is going on. it was something else. >> we have rain to worry about now? >> a little bit. we don't need to worry about it, we could use it maybe to tamp down some of the dust. it's been so dry. and it's going to be getting in here by mid afternoon tomorrow into the evening hours. between now and then we'll stay dry. there's a look over potomac river and the washington temperatures by noon, should be the upper 70s, low 80s between 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. and by 6:00, back to the upper 70s, a bright moon tonight. we'll be back to the low 70s by 9:00 p.m. we have nice autumn color. upstate new york and up in the upper part of new england, past peak color there in southern new england. and nice color in the orange zone and we have patchy color

beautiful color here, a photo taken in west virginia, babcock state park. we're going to see the autumn color getting closer by halloween and the first week of november. tomorrow, low 70s, the rain coming in the afternoon and evening and then it ends, blustery chilly saturday and might get more showers next thursday. that's the way it looks. makeover. and apples, after the break, a special sweet treat with the

man: hey baby, how are you? woman: i have a surprise for you. man: you have a surprise for me? narrator: at dominion, 1 in 5 new hires is a veteran. but they won't miss out on financial support. because we cover any difference between their military pay and their dominion salary, and continue benefits for them and their families. why do we do it? because our vets sacrifice enough. "dominion. depend on us for more than energy."

arrive. in new orleans we have a company called hubings, the hand pie that was always in my lunch box. this is how we do it at the restaurant. we start off with a little bit of flour. we add our little bit of shortening. this is going to go right in the center. >> and then what about butter? >> not in this particular crust. this is a specific crust that's designed to fry. so unlike a baked crust it's a little diffe. and then the shortening. you want the shortening to be melted and cooled down slightly, okay? and then we're going to add our milk. you see we're doing this just by hand. you don't have to have a fancy mixer. >> it looks like more biscuit dough to me. >> it comes together almost like a pizza dough.

working it by hand. and we're left with this sort of beautiful dough we've allowed to refrigerate. and then that's essentially the dough that we're working with. nice and cold, is the key to working with dough. we're going to go ahead and roll this out. and i brought a nontraditional rolling pin because i think it's important -- >> is that -- >> anything, yeah. >> anything heavy duty. we use pvc pipe that we cut down. we do a lot of kids cooking of little pvc pipes that fit their hands. we're going to start in the center and rolling out. you want a nice even dough. you keep working it. and i'm kind of starting in the center. you see how i'm doing that? >> i see you start in the center and work your way out. >> that's going to give you a nice even dough when you're working pie dough. you see there's a little elasticity to this one. it's a little different than

>> we're going to work something again, i brought something nontraditional. not a biscuit cutter or anything traditional that would you find. i'm all about using what's right in front of me. can you see i'm using a knife and this is a funnel. i just, it was really just about the template and getting a nice sort of circular round space here. and you see we've got some beautiful pie filling ready to go. >> let's get that in here. i want to see how you do >> you put a little water on the edge. >> as you put it in there, tell me what has gone into the filling. >> the apple pie we do an assortment of apples and it's got a little bit of sugar, some spices, little bit of vanilla bean, nutmeg, cinnamon. i choose to use whole spices and use my microplane, my fine zester to grind the whole spices

a little cider. >> you see how we form that? >> i call it granny crimp, can you do a granny crimp. that reminds me of my grandmother like this. please, help yourself. >> have fun with it, you can do different sizes, go traditional with a fork and prick the sides like we've done here for it's up to you and there's nothing wrong about doing it any particular way. you can do canola oil or peanut oil. vegetable oil. you want to get it about 350, 375. nice golden brown. delicious and they bring back so many memories, it's like a cupcake, it's my pie, not your pie. i don't have to share that, it's a personal pie. that's what i love about it. >> he has a fabulous cookbook on
