80 airlines were unable to operate during hurricane irma. this airport was shut down. that has had a pretty big impact on the local economy here in florida and throughout the region. coming up on the today nbc washington this morning, we're talk about what that means in terms of tourism, cruise lines, airports, hotels. it's been put on pause. we'll take you throughout the region and to the caribbean to show what's happening on the ground. all that coming up this morning on the "today" show. now to our other top stories. we're working to learn whether a day-care worker will face charges after a 2-year-old boy died in her care. the woman was watching three small children yesterday as she was cooking. the 2-year-old boy slipped through a book door on to the aboveground pool deck and fell into the water. when she found him the woman tried performing cpr but the little boy died at the hospital. today louden county sheriff's investigators will comb over every inch of

that is certainly something that metro has been dealing with and reports about sexual harassment up in the metro system. all of that is something that's concerning to metro officials here. this is a report as you guys mentioned. it looks like the first six months of this year compared to the same time last year. metro transit leaders have also been working on a serious crackdown against fare evaders and they have found that those types of citations have actually doubled. there's a lot of positive with this report, including the fact that crime is down overall but there are certainly some issues that still need to be worked out and that assault against metro bus operators that's something that metro really wants to figure out guys, back to you. >> adam, thank you. if you are an apple iphone junkie, get ready to get hooked. apple may be on the verge of taking a big bite out of your wallet. >> reporter: just retired at 91, we've got more special surprises
