The unexpected problem in colorado as it goes mainstream today. Monday, july 28, 2014. 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 monday morning. Weve got willie in here for matt this morning. What a strange situation in california, the Lightning Strike on the beach. How rare these are, al. This is such a tiny storm. In fact, the last time somebody died in california from a Lightning Strike was 2009. So you dont see that this often. And that violent Weather Coast to coast actually is our top story this morning. Lets start with the deadly Lightning Strike on californias famed venice beach. Thats where we find Nbcs Joe Fryer this morning. Joe, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, savannah. One person was killed, another is in Critical Condition. In all, across Southern California, 14 people were injured by Lightning Strikes. Something that doesnt normally happen here on the beach especially this time of year. Complete chaos across venice beach moments after the lightning bolt hit. People rushing to help a victim who was lying on the edge of the water. It literally sounded like a bomb went off. The loudest clap of thunder ive heard in my life. Reporter paul deon was swimming when the shock pulsed through him. You know, i was struggling to get my head back above water. Reporter luckily nearby friends pulled him to safety. Thank god they were brave enough to jump in and not hesitate. Reporter in all 13 people were treated at the scene, eight of them taken to hospitals. One of the victims, a 20yearold man, passed away. The Lightning Strike was produced by a rare band of summer thunderstorms that moved through los angeles on sunday. That big cell right there, ill zero in on, thats where the Lightning Strikes were this afternoon. Reporter another lightning bolt on a golf course on Catalina Island injured a 57yearold man. Hes expected to be okay. And this was the aftermath in Redondo Beach where lightning singed a house and a car. A path of destruction on the ground caused by a sudden jolt of electricity from the sky. This is the 16th death this year in the u. S. Caused by a Lightning Strike and the first in california. Al, as you mentioned the last time someone in Southern California was killed by a Lightning Strike was over five years ago. Thats right, joe fryer in venice beach, california. Joe, thank you so much. And as we mentioned, 16 people generally so far this year have been killed by Lightning Strikes in 2014. Out of that number, six were in florida so far. And as joe mentioned, 2009 last Southern California death. In fact, on average about 52 people die a year due to Lightning Strikes in our country. Weve also had Severe Weather in the east. As you look, this is in eastern tennessee. A rope tornado. And youll see some power lines flashing as you can see them right there. Boom. Transformers blowing as lines get ripped up. A lot of damage in parts of eastern tennessee. In fact, out of the 36 eastern counties, about ten of them saw major damage. You can see buildings knocked down, power lines pulled down. Poles literally pulled out of the ground and that is now making its way to the east. As you can see on the map, weve got more showers and thunderstorms starting to crop up as the warm, moist air makes its way along the eastern seaboard. Well see the humidity levels still hanging in. But behind this, much cooler air comes on in. Thats going to generate more strong storms from new orleans all the way down into wilmington, tallahassee, charleston. Cant rule out tornadoes, damaging winds, and a decent amount of rain, guys. Were talking 2 to 3 inches of rain that may cause flash flooding on top of everything else. Wild Weather Coast to coast. Al, well talk to you in a couple minutes. Thanks. Now to the heavy fighting in the middle east. Israel and hamas exchanged new attacks overnight following a temporary truce. And with the death toll now topping 1,000 people the u. N. Security council is calling for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire. Nbcs chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel is in gaza city for us. Richard, good morning. Reporter good morning, willie. The u. N. Security council held this emergency meeting overnight calling on both sides to stop their hostilities to implement this unconditional ceasefire. President obama in what has been described to us as an especially blunt conversation spoke with israels Prime Minister to stress the same point. Israel has agreed to stop most of its offensive operations in gaza, but this conflict is certainly and by no certain terms over yet. After three weeks of punishing air strikes against the gaza strip, nearly 2,500 palestinian rockets lobbed at israeli cities. And a 12day ground operation into gaza in which at least 43 Israeli Soldiers were killed in close combat. Now the most promising sign yet that this war could be turning a corner. Israel says it wants to trade quiet for quiet. But israel isnt stopping its gaza mission entirely. The army said it will continue to destroy hamas tunnels along gazas perimeter. It gave no time limit for how long that might take. What is hamas getting in return . So far nothing. No deal, no immediate lifting of the closure of the gaza strip. Just a reprieve from israels assault that has flattened entire gaza neighborhoods and killed more than 1,000 palestinians. Many of them civilians, many of them children. The war could easily escalate again. Hamas wants an agreement to end the fighting. Not for israel to unilaterally scale back the assault on its own terms. After this harsh and blunt phone call from president obama, israel said it will stop taking unilateral action and only respond to attacks. Hamas has rejected that. It says that it will probably hold a ceasefire for 24 hours. This is a muslim holy day across the arab world, across the muslim world. But its very likely when this holiday ends, tomorrow or the next day, hamas rocket attacks in israel could resume. All right. Richard engel in gaza city for us this morning. Richard, thank you. Now to another troubled spot. New fighting in the ukraine. Once again slowing the investigation into the downing of malaysia air flight 17. And nbcs keir simmons has the latest from donetsk this morning. Keir, good morning to you. Reporter savannah, good morning. This morning, the u. N. Says the shooting down or apparent shooting down of mh17 may constitute a war crime which makes the investigation even more important. And yet this morning we were with the investigators as they struggled to even get to the scene of the crash. Determined to reach the crash site of malaysian flight 17, a convoy of western monitors and media is forced to pull over. Theres gunfire ahead. The monitors have been stopped in the road just up here further up we heard fighting, tank fire, mortars, clashes between the separatists and the Ukrainian Military. Tense negotiations begin. Finally the two sides agree to cease fire long enough to allow safe passage. But locals are fleeing with terrible stories. We heard antiaircraft guns trying to shoot the plane, he tells me, then it dropped two bombs. And there are reports of both sides using indiscriminate ground rockets like these. Pictures unverified by nbc news. The Ukrainian Military and the rebels blaming each other for the death of 13 civilians including two children yesterday. Most of this unverified video is too sickening to show. Secretary kerry is urging russia to stop arming the rebels. But president putin taking part in a Russian Naval ceremony isnt listening. Vowing to strengthen the russian fleet in crimea, still considered by ukraines leadership to be their country. And this morning the state department has issued satellite images it says supports its assertion that Russian Forces are firing artillery into Eastern Ukraine in support of the separatists. Meanwhile were hearing those monitors in the end did have to turn back, savannah. They are saying that artillery fire got closer and closer to them. And they are describing themselves as sick and tired of it. Savannah. It makes a hard job even harder. Keir simmons in the region this morning, thank. Concerns are intensifying today after a second american tested positive for the potentially deadly ebola virus while working in africa. Nbcs Janet Shamlian in london with that story. Janet, good morning. Reporter good morning, willie. One is a doctor and one is a missionary. They contracted the ebola virus while working in the area. Dr. Kent brantly and nancy writebol, who have been working in liberia to save the lives of ebola patients are now fighting for their own. Despite wearing protective suits, like the one dr. Brantly is seen in here while treating a patient, both have contracted the highly contagious virus. Were all sort of devastated by it, but at the same time we find room for optimism because in both cases the disease was not only diagnosed very quickly, but we were able to begin intensive supportive care. Reporter ken isaacs is with the samaritans purse group dr. Brantly is working for. Writebol is a missionary, also part of the ebola team. Dr. Brantlys wife and two children had been living with him in liberia, but are now back in texas. They are selfmonitoring themselves. Checking their temperature. That would be the first sign is if they had any fever at all. Reporter writebols husband david, also a missionary in liberia, doesnt have symptoms but told his North Carolina church that says his wife is not doing well. Both writebol and brantly are in isolation infected with the virus they hoped to save others from. The virus is spreading quickly. In the countries of new guinea and sierra leone and liberia. And the airports are now tracking and testing passengers after one died. There is not treatment or vaccine. Death rates can be as high as 90 for ebola. Chances of survival are higher when its caught early. Samaritans purse say both americans are getting the best care possible, but willie, again, there is no vaccine. Willie, back to you. Janet shamlian on a scary story out of africa. Janet, thanks so much. Now to natalie. Top stories of the west including a fire. Crews are making progress against the fast moving wildfire in the sierra foothills. The sand fire has destroyed 13 homes and burned 6 square miles of steep, rugged terrain. Hundreds of people have been evacuated. It was 50 contained sunday night but more 500 homes remain in danger. It started on friday when a vehicle drove over dry vegetation. The costa concordias long journey is finally over. This is a time lapsed video of the cruise liner arriving in genoa. It shows the wrecked concordia making its way through a span of seven hours. Its arrival marked the biggest maritime salvage operation costing more than 2 billion. It capsized more than two years ago killing 32 people. Newly released audiotapes reveal a Heated Exchange between a Delta Air Lines pilot. Along with the air Traffic Controller. This happened friday at atlantas hartsfieldjackson international airport. After the air Traffic Controller suggested that the pilot was on the wrong taxiway. Take a listen. It looks like you joined lima. You know what . Well taxi out there any way we want you tell us to. I dont like your attitude. Good morning. There was no attitude. I was just trying to correct you. You didnt tell us how to get there. Next time you can try doing that. Settle down captain happy. A little cranky. At the very end, that was another pilot from another plane saying settle down. Delta now is reportedly investigating. Somebody needs a little timeout, i think. Well, any baseball executive is going to admit during the dog days of summer it could be hard to get the fans in the seats. But a team in south korea has potentially the answer. Take a look. The eagles have installed what they call fan bots into a section of the stadium. They hold up digital signs and encourage fans to cheer and can even do the wave. So who controls the fan bots . Theyre real human fans who are sitting at home. They can rent a digital body and have their face then displayed on its head. No word on whether they can order a beer though. Not quite the same effect. I dont know how to feel about that. Still processing what you told me. I dont think it works. Should we get fan bots for the plaza . We have real fans. Are you real . This was all worth it just for captain happy. You can apply that nickname. You really restrained yourself on that one. I did. Lets show you whats going on, commander smiley.

Especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. I was taking warfarin but wondered, could i focus on Something Better . My doctor told me about eliquis for three Important Reasons. One, in a Clinical Trial eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. Two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. And three, unlike warfarin theres no routine blood testing. [ male announcer ] dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Those three Important Reasons are why im shooting for Something Better. Eliquis. [ male announcer ] ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you. Good morning it is 7 26 im kris sanchez.

A higher number of homeless. A couple people said im from texas. Im just here to smoke.

But the protected mother is defending her daughter from rumors surrounding her disappearance. People believe she was pregnant. She was not. She did not run away. I firmly believe that. As far as her knowing her attacker, i believe she did not know the individual. Reporter police are looking for this man in connection with her disappearance. New hampshire attorney general issued a statement saying Law Enforcement officers must now obtain satisfactory answers to the questions surrounding the facts and circumstances of abigails disappearance and ninemonth absence. Abigail thanked those who searched for her in a statement saying, my gratitude is beyond words. Its an incredible feeling to be home. And i believe in my heart that your hopes and prayers played a major role in my release. But for abigail and her mother, the battle is not yet over. I feel like they just took and ripped somebody out of our souls. And just as i swore that ill find her, ill find the person. Ill find out what happened.

Theyre representing strength, power, and love. And those dont come cheap. Some going for thousands of dollars each. You can buy them at about every Major Department store. But our investigation found some of the rubies in those display cases are actually filled with cheap glass. This morning our hidden cameras are rolling. Were going on a shopping spree. Were interested in some of the rubies you have here. Searching for radiant rubies and shelling out thousands for them. They must be the real deal, right . Its almost all glass. Reporter wait. Did he just say glass . 90 glass. Correct. Reporter wow. Just imagine our surprise when we had them analyzed by world renowned gemologists. This is fish tank gravel thats been modified. Thats what i call it. Reporter in fact, both our experts say these rubies are just imposters. But we found them on display at some of the nations biggest stores. First up, lord and taylor where this salesman is up front about it. Lead glass. Reporter but then he said what . Its a real ruby. Reporter youre sure its natural . Yeah. These are not rubies. Period. Reporter we were told the same thing at this jcpenney. Its lead filled, genuine ruby. Reporter thats not true either. But at least these mentioned the lead glass. This macys saleswoman never did. It is natural. Yes. Reporter its pretty. The price tag . 1200. And no glass disclosure by littmans jewelry. Its real . Absolutely. Reporter remember we had them tested and theyre filled with glass.

Reporter this is literally falling apart. If you left it long enough, it would literally fall apart. Reporter they mark with tags and some mention it online. But now our investigation is getting results. Littman and macys are retraining their associates. And penneys is removing any reference to the word genuine. When a salesperson says youre getting genuine. Wrong. Youre getting lead glass. Were told the salespeople never meant to mislead. What are these really worth . Weve been showing you on the set. This is the 1200 ring from macys. Our experts say its worth maybe half that. And thats only because of the diamonds around it and because of the gold if you melt it down. By the way, we contacted one of the leading makers of lead glass rubies. They said they will work to improve disclosure. Will stores be knocking down the price . You keep waiting for that. All right.

A 20yearold man died at venice beach from his injuries and about a dozen other people were hurt. Another lightning bolt struck a golf course on Catalina Island, injuring a 57yearold man. There was another accident on the beach in venice, florida. Two people there were hit by an airplane. Nbcs Kerry Sanders joins us with more from venice. Good morning. Reporter good morning. For a father and daughter, this accident came without warning. As we look down the beach here, you can see the scene where the plane came to rest. This morning investigators are there looking for clues to explain what went wrong. A summer walk on the beach turned to tragedy sunday afternoon when a 36yearold father was killed and his 9yearold daughter was critically injured by a private small plane that made an emergency crash landing. The pilot who was unhurt in the crash is identified as 57yearold carl kokomoore. Its unclear what happened, but as he was flying his single engine piper cherokee, he radioed a nearby Airport Tower in venice, florida, saying there was an onboard emergency. He reportedly told air Traffic Controllers his plane, built in 1972, would not be able to land safely. Minutes later it came down on this stretch of sand. There was a matter of minutes between the time that the tower was alerted, the Sheriffs Office was alerted, and Venice Police department. Everybody was en route to respond and the plane went down at that same time. Reporter its unclear if the father and daughter who were here from georgia were struck by the plane itself or by debris, but the aircraft remains largely intact. Neither the pilot of the plane nor a lone passenger along for what became a terrifying ride, suffered any injuries. This morning the National Transportation safety board is investigating the accident as well as the reason for the initial distress signal. The father who died posted on his facebook yesterday, today, nine years ago, i tied my life to my beautiful wife rebecca irizarri. Wow, how fast time has passed. They say time flies when youre having fun. It is true. Thank you for being with me through thick and thin. I love you with all my heart.

The trailer was released at comiccon this weekend. I mean, seriously, it was like brad pitt just walked out. One thing that struck me was how many people were holding up signs saying save us bat kid. I looked at those kids and thought you mean that literally. In helping him to live this dream, we were saving ourselves. Wow. He is in remission from leukemia and is ready to take over the world. Glad to hear hes in good health most importantly. That is whats trending today. Coming up, Whoopi Goldberg joins us. Plus one dads push to ban if youre like most parents, you spend a lot of time organizing your kids schedules. But one dad wants us to cross play dates off of our calendars. Good morning to you. Many parents love the play date, that preplanned organized way for kids to interact in a controlled setting. But one stayathome dad says enough already. His blog is setting off a fire storm of debate with parents now asking are play dates ruining childhood . Chris is a stayathome father of three whos become pretty good at making boo boos better, helping with homework, and high fives too. He loves afternoon adventures on the playground and at the zoo. But there is one thing he absolutely does not do. Play dates. Structured formality of it. Reporter he thinks play dates stifle creativity. They become dependent on the schedule. So theyre constantly going to be coming to you, going to be asking you whats next, whats next. Reporter the former teacher featured in our modern dad series runs a blog for stayathome dads. And hes now opening up about precisely why he loathes the play date so much. It makes me feel like i should be preparing a cheese plate and some activity that as a host our guest kid will be taking home a fabulous parting gift. His article is striking a nerve and generating overwhelming response. One person wrote times have changed since we were kids. Our kids are no longer safe to play in their front yards or go riding off on their bikes unaccompanied. Experts say play dates really have little to do with the children. We often have two parents working outside the home and they need to know whats going on because the schedules are all over the place. I think thats part of the bigger issue of how do we slow ourselves down as the adults in these childrens lives. Reporter chris wife thinks stomaching them might be easier if he were her. Men socialize differently than women do. Women tend to group together and have more of these play date type activities. Reporter that may explain why he started organizing outings like this one at the zoo. Theyre all stayathome dads and insist whats happening here is not a play date. When i grew up it was just really kids getting together in the neighborhood. We would just go knock on neighbors doors and play flash light tag, that kind of thing. Al roker loves play dates. They all just find each other at the zoo . Our expert did say that its not really so much the play date that may be threatening childhood. Its our childrens obsessions with these. Smartphones, tablets, video games, computers. Those are the things she says are actually stifling imaginations. I think it needs a rebrand. We dont like the title play date. Get together. Yeah. Get the kids together. Things should be more organic. Like it used to be as a kid, you asked do you want to come over and play. Now the parents say can you have soandso come over. Just change it to get together. Get together. Well call them that. And the kids can put them in their outlook calendars. Craig melvin, thanks so much. Up to savannah.

Well check in with carson in a few minutes with his fresh cooks live series. Were back with smarter ways to save. Everybody wants to spend less at the Grocery Store. But 28 of women say they cant be bothered with coupons. 15 call them a necessary evil. Lisa freeman is with shop smart magazine. Good to see you. Good morning. A lot of people love their coupons. But some people cant be bothered with them. You say theres another way. Thats right. We sent secret shoppers out to supermarkets without coupons to see if you can save. You can. You just have to practice strategies and be consistent. Lets dive in. First of all, look for the bags. Youre going to save with bags versus buying individual items. But most people dont know how much. You can save as much as 40 on these potatoes. As much as 30 on the apples. And buying prepackaged of chobani. Thats no coupons. Just smart shopping. Reach for the bulks. Its easy to reach for the prepackaged deli meat. But you say theres an advantage at the counter. A lot of people think its a treat to have them happened cut. The truth of the matter is our secret shopper found it actually saves you money. When we compared the prepackaged and presliced versus deli sliced, we saved 30 . Ham as well. Almost 20 for the ham. It does pay to wait in line, get it fresh. Heres one some people avoid like the plague. The clearance rack at the Grocery Store. Its one thing at the clothing store, but with food people get scared. The thing is you can save up to 50 or more. A lot of the things are discontinued items. Things that didnt sell. Seasonal items theyre trying to get rid of. Things close to their expiration date. Always check the dates. But look at this. 50 off, these are still good. Are there certain things to avoid from the clearance rack . Again check the dates. Lets move over here now. Were looking at dollar store shopping. Thats right. A lot of people dont think Dollar Stores and food shopping. Theyre carrying more and more food. And not just weird brands, theyre carrying big name items. And staples like eggs and bread. And theyre a great place to pick up eggs and bread. We found the price there is even cheaper than walmart. Really . Yes. Thats their new tag line. Avoid the weirdo brands. Sometimes the big packaging with cereal or ketchup is the way to go. Its not always the better deal, but it is many times. With the ketchup you could save 40 by buying the larger size. Cheerios, 37 . And also mayonnaise. So if you know youre going to use it, go for the bigger size. Makes sense. Thats good. Talk organics.

Coming up, fresh cooks live summer sizzle. But first this is today on nbc. All right. We are back. Were streaming live at today. Com with our weeklong series fresh cooks live summer sizzle. This time were outside. Weve got guy turland. This last half hour weve been making a jerk chicken. You surf down in australia. A great backdrop. Youre a trained chef. Your friend ask a film maker. Thats how you got your start. Its grown so quickly. Its a match made in heaven. Hes a producer and chef. We dont get in each others way. A great thing. Check it out. Were making the jerk sauce. Make it the night before. Describe it. Youve got some ginger, all spice, spiced rum, peppers. You can control the heat by what pepper you pick. 100 . The caramel from the dark sugars. Grind all that up and get it on that jerk chicken. Which were doing with the steak too. Let it marinade how long . Cat least at least 12 hours. Its going to penetrate the flesh. It will smell out of kroul. What kind of heat on the grill . Youre going direct heat on one side and direct on the other. The idea is you get caramelization on the one side and then push it over and cook it. Weve got our guys over here eating. So good. Pop this on there. Okay. Here we go. Go ahead. Coals on one side. Put on the direct heat. Right on the direct heat. 12 hour marinainatmarinating. How do you put the garlic on the bread . Just rub it on there to break up the garlic. Literally just rub it on the bread. Then whack it on the grill. Were going to whack a lot on the grill. Absolutely. Get the beautiful colors and lines. And a beautiful steak sandwich has that crispy toast. How is it . Have you had a bite . What do you think . Its good, huh . Makes something that can be great. That little bit of that beautiful flavor. Very good. This is one weve done beforehand. Look how beautiful it is. Perfect. Slice it up. Are you tasting the jerk flavor in the meat . The ginger. Really good. Get some of this going. Do you serve this in your restaurant too . We do. We do a mean steak sandwich. Have you serve surfed on the east coast yet . I havent. How long do you marinate it . A good 12 hours. Really let it soak up. You want that flavor to really penetrate the meat. And the butterflying of the chicken is a cool thing. But its intimidated. The butcher can do it and take the backbone out. I love this cavocado salad stuff. What is that . We didnt get to that. You have avocado and coriander. Is it meant as a side salad or put it on the chicken. However youd like to eat it. I always have a hard time figuring whats the best steak for a steak sandwich. I like flank steak. Well, thats the answer. Beautiful tomatoes. Look how healthy. Its got green and tomatoes. Its like a salad. Good morning, everyone. Im scott mcgrew. Its 8 56. Linda rchl onstadt was awarded the bay area native at the white house. Well, lets get a check of your weather this morning with christina. Thats quite an honor. Good morning to you. 89 degrees. Of course, im not accepting that. In the bay area, its humid out there and hot for today but were also going to get a little shower activity. Not that bad. 81 degrees on the east shore. 70 in San Francisco and 86 degrees in the north bay for today. I want to give you an idea of where were headed and temperatures will level off. Well lose the humidity as we head wednesday into thursday. I hope you have a fantastic day. From nbc news, this is todays take with al roker, Natalie Morales and wylie geist. Its july 8th, 2014. Big, loud crowd on the plaza this morning. Good looking group. Im willie along with al, natalie and tamron who was not selected for jury duty. I did my duty and i was rejected. Did they tell you why . No, they basically said get out. But there was a moment of pause for everyone. Their friday, criminal court building. And they select the six jurors and then the clerk person says, were done with you here but that doesnt mean the court is done with you. Youve got to go down stairs and get back in the jury pool. Back in the pool my dream is to appear on walking dead. I was in walking dead friday. We zombied our way to the room and then they said were free. I love jury duty. They gave you a document and said you need to keep this, just in case. In case they call you back, dont lose this. No. Thats what happened when i got called. I lost it. How did you lose it . I dont know and i got a call on jury duty. It was fantastic. And al roker loves jury duty. He said you can bring your lunch, you can meet people. Meeting folks. I love jury duty. Time away. Because you get to meet folks. Youre downtown. Youre downtown, and youre in a different world. I love it. Different world. Here im sorry. Occupy time. Sitting next to this wonderful woman who wants to take a selfie. I said, maam, there is no camera, but ill sneak she said you know who you guys should book on the show. And i said no, who. And she said Tracy Chapman. All right. Not that we dont love Tracy Chapman. But it just came out of nowhere. Would you have thought about that . I have Tracy Chapman on my playlist. See . One of the most talented people who ever sang a record. Please. Orangeroom. Youve got a fast car, call us. While were at it. Thats what happened. Anyway the weather yeah. Yesterday as i was watching this stuff develop yesterday, they almost never you know the old song, it never rains in Southern California, even rarer to get lightning storms. And they had a bad one yesterday, very localized over venice beach, california. One man was killed, at least 12 others injured, one critically, after being struck by lightning on venice beach. Another struck on Catalina Island. A huge clap of thunder. On average, 52 people a year are killed by Lightning Strikes. So far this year, weve had 16. Six of those in florida. It is rare in Southern California. Last time anyone was killed by lightning in Southern California was 2009. And then other side of the country, these powerful storms moving through which just moved through the northeast. But yesterday through tennessee, they had at least one tornado destroyed, at least ten homes, a gas station, a couple businesses. Rock springs, tennessee. Look at that video. Yeah. A lot of damage. Theyre going to be National Weather Service Going to check that out later. You can see the power lines getting yar getting yanked out there by the explosions going on. And out west, wildfires going on. Right around yosemite. 13 homes destroyed. Fires 50 contained, but there are at least 500 other homes that are being threatened at this point. So its just a wild summer of everything. And now this cooler than usual air invading into the midwest. Temperatures are going to be in the 50s in parts of the upper midwest. This is the second time theyre getting that coldness in there. Everybody getting little bit coast to coast. We know youll keep a close eye on that and i know youre keeping a close eye on this story, your favorite of the day. Get ready to meet captain happy. Ever wonder what the conversation is like between the pilot and air Traffic Control . We dont want to know. This is an exchange between a delta pilot and air Traffic Controller, very heated on friday. At the Atlanta Hartfield jackson airport. Check it out. It looks like you joined lima. Hey, you know what, well taxi out there if you tell us to. I dont like your attitude. Good morning. There was no attitude. I was just trying to correct you. You didnt tell us how to get there. Next time tell us how to do that. Settle down, captain happy. Yeah, settle down captain happy. Al wants to be captain happy. You are captain happy around here. I thought that was another pilot who had been listening in and told the pilot, chill, man. Settle down. Take a break. Theres folks taking a break right now. Whats this . Hi, guys. I think weve got a different feed. Were seeing Something Different at home. Also investigating that incident, to go back to it. We reached out to delta and they said mind your business. No, they didnt say that. All right. Well, heres a story, i think its certainly going to open your eyes and if youre a parent with a teenager at home who always has their cell phone next to them, especially when theyre sleeping, you want to Pay Attention. 13yearold ariel tolfre fell asleep with her galaxy s4 in her bed. The phone slipped. She said it was under her pillow during the night and she woke up to the smell of something burning. It turn turns out the phone had burnt under the pillow into her bed. Yeah, it apparently had burnt a hole through the bed, into the mattress, two inches into the mattress, in fact. Is that possible . Well, the battery can overheat and the father said the battery overheated. It was a Battery Replacement from samsung. So maybe was it the brand samsung wasnt the original that came with the phone. We did reach out to samsung. Appears to be an isolated incident. As of now, we havent heard back from samsung about this. By the way a lot of kids do that, sleep with their phones right next to them. A lot of adults do that too. Nikki just got a phone for her 12th birthday. And part of the deal, he has to give the phone back at the end of the day. Thats good. Good idea. You know what i noticed, the girls last name, how fitting. What is it . Tolfre. I didnt Pay Attention to that. Pretty cool. Tollfree number. Unfortunately, left its mark. Oh, my gosh. All right. Well, something that can leave a mark when you shake someones hand and theyre sick. And you end up with their cold. I dont know how i got this one. But, you know, it may come as a nobrainer to you. Which is the best way to greet someone, a fist bump, handshake or high five . Fist bump. A british study they did a study and experimented, putting a glove into a bath of ecoli and gave a fist bump with people wearing clean gloves. Tested the glove for bacteria. Fistbumping was the cleanest, least amount of bacteria transfer, followed by high five and the dirtiest greeting, a hand like a handshake. So handshake, ten times more bacteria than a fist bump. And i actually googled the history of hand shakes, according to wikipedia. Yeah. And other sources. Very reliable. I threw it out there. Anyway, it was seen as a way to greet in the medieval days to prove that you were not armed. Yeah. And later became, as we all know, a sign of power, and you were measured when you walked into wall street or business meeting on how firm your hand shake was. How firm the fist bump is . You dont get sick from going in and out of cold buildings. I cant convince my mother of that. My mother is convinced that cold weather im like, mom, its not that. But it can suppress your immune system if youre always freezing going in and outside. I like the handshake. This is too casual. Why cant we just say hi . I like hugs. I do like greeting with hugs. A full body hug . Come on, everybody in here. Aww. Now we all have tamrons cold. Thank you. Yeah. Probably should have rethought that, shouldnt we have . All right. So here we go, this warm, humid air, pushing in, showers and thunderstorms. A risk of strong storms up into the northeast. Also mid atlantic, down into the gulf coast on into biloxi, mississippi. Looking at the possibility of about an inch to an inchandahalf of rain in some local spots. But we are also looking for showers and thunderstorms during the day today, down through that area. Were looking at wet weather through the four corners and the rockies. A toasty day in the pacific northwest. A high of 92 in portland, oregon. Thats whats going on around the country. Heres whats happening in. Oh, roker, we love you. Were going to get dry heat that were so accustomed to back in the forecast but not until thursday into friday. It will be muggy, at least for the first three days of the week. 89 degrees in the south bay. Still mostly clear. You can see that high atop mt. Hamilton. Expecting answer overcast sky as you head through the next few hours. There are showers along the way, albeit thunderstorms this afternoon. Everybody the text you just got from a family member.

Thats the latest. We just turn all on the lights and its bragt in here all of a sudden. And it wasnt the advil sudafed combination. You know what they say, age is just a number. But how does that number stack up to your bodys health . On today. Com we asked you to take a quiz to determine your biological age. We took the quiz as well. We have advice to slow down the aging process. Shes at health magazine. What is my biological age . What does that mean . Age is just a number and its not all about the number of birthdays youve had. Its really more important to know how is your body aging, whats going on inside. Biological age is not like a true scientific term but we use it to refer to how healthy you are on the inside. We did a true age quiz which you all took and it kind of assesses factors whether you smoke, how you exercise, how much sleep youre getting, how connected you are to people in your community. And we got some interesting results. Lets go through them. I guess im up first. We all four took it. Im 39 years old. According to the quiz my bodys age is 36. 6. What helped me lower that age . One thing you do well is the way you manage stress. You answered that if you were stressed out you take a few deep breaths and move on. Stress is so important. It really can age us bil biologically. All right. My score. Im 42. My result puts my biological age at 38. 4. Almost as young as you are. And i do a lot of exercise as people know. Im a big runner. I try to eat well. Pretty healthy lifestyle. But i do like my glass of wine every now and then which increased it. But what you also do well is you learn new things. Youre always trying new things. We see here on the today show youre always out doing new things. Education, the higher level of education you have thats been associated with Better Health outcome. Probably because you have better access to health care, more knowledgeable about health. But also learning new things. Were exercising different parts of our brain. Its wonderful to keep your brain active and slow down the dementia. Trying to stay young, people. So im almost 60. And lets see 56. 7. What happened there . So youre good. You eat very well which is great. You also are very lucky because you have a lot of relatives that have lived into their 90s. That actually does boost up your score. Because genes are important. However, even if you dont have longevity in your family, lifestyle factors can affect whats going to happen to you. You definitely want to know your family history. What are the medical problems that run in the family so you can be proactive about going to the doctor and getting checked. Sleep is the thing you didnt do well on. I dont think any of us did. Yeah. All right. My actual age is 43 and according to this im 41. I eat red meat. And i eat it three times a week. So red meat, we really want to reduce the processed meats and the red meats that were eating. The mediterranean diet has shown to be great for your cardiovascular health. Thats more fish, whole grains, vegetables. Tamron, you werent great on the sleep also. I dont have time for your criticizing me. What she also did well is stays connected. And i run. We gave this quiz to the viewers. How you think it differs from your actual age. Five years younger, one to four years younger, exactly the same, one to four older. Overwhelming with 45 said they feel five years younger. Isnt it what you feel . Doesnt that count for something . I feel younger than 43. I feel younger than 41. Yeah. I think age exactly. It is just a number. Mentally as well how you feel makes a big difference. How should she feel taking advil and sudafed . Its fine, tamron. Youll be okay. Just dont have a cup of coffee as well. That would push her over the edge. Very interesting stuff, doctor. Thanks so much. You can take the true age quiz to find out your bodys age by heading to today. Com.

Toaster strudel todays travel is brought to you by sleep inn. Dream better here. As you may have learned the hard way this summer, packing up the family for a trip can be stressful. If you dont pack wisely it can make or break your getaway. You may want to Pay Attention to these tips. Good morning. Good to see you. Youve got great tips. Pack each day the outfits you need. You can prepackage the outfits into little baggings. You have socks, undies, then you hang onto the zip lock bag afterwards. If you have a wet bathing suit or something messy, you zip it back up. Remember question dont need to overpack for kids. They stay in the same outfit the whole time. Smart idea. I love this one for shoes. You have a dirty sole. You dont like it to get grow i did. I bought shower caps for 99 cents. You put them on the bottom of the shoes. You dont want it touching all your stuff. Nice, simple, inexpensive way to keep e everything clean. And reusable. Something else if you have a carryon bag. I have chargers and headphones. Use an old eyeglass case. You put it on the inside of the sipper part, if you have the outside package, say you got a carryon bag, makes it easy to get to your chargers, keeps everything organized. Otherwise you start digging. Thats so smart and efficient. Sticking along with the electronics, this is an old fashion portable dvd player. Make technology your travel companion, but if youre on an airplane or train, not Everybody Loves dora the explorer. So bring your head foehphones fe kids to listen. Isnt that the worst . Kids watching at full volume. Now this looks organized. This is cool. This is what i call a boredom back. Its a travel cosmetic case. You fill each pocket with ageappropriate activities that the kids can get to. Its got snacks, handheld alongs games. Willie i can make one of these for big boys on the go. You have poker here. I didnt know what age group that was. And selfcraft sets. Travel cosmetic cases and they hang from the seat back in front of where your child is sitting. I also want to remind people that youve got to bring everything on board an airplane, a train, anywhere that youre going to be traveling. Theres nothing on board to help you to help your kid other than an airsick bag. Which you can fill up with hot water and warm a baby bottle if you need to. Nice. Whats down here now . So this one is once you get to your destination, you have four people, five people sharing a really small space. Its one of those hanging shoe trees. You bring it with you, hang it up in the bathroom over the door and put all the different toiletri toiletries. It keeps everything organized. That space in the room is small. I want one more tip that is nothing to do with packing. Kids are creature of habit. They know whats coming next by what comes before it. So when youre traveling with little kids, stick to those routines around naptime, potty time, meal time. And make sure they have a special thing they sleep with at night, bring that. If you have a ritual around bedtime, you do that. And i hope everyone has happy travels that are less stressful and more enjoyable. Youre so comforting. I want a blanket and travel with you.

Pattie is the host of patties table on public tv and recently cooked for president obama at the Cinco De Mayo celebration. Everybody was warm and welcoming and it was so nice. Youre going to make for us a classic mexican dish. Its home style, easy. Someone once said when you share your food you share your heart so better make it tasty. Thats great. And easy. So here we have fresh squeezed lime juice. Help me pour olive oil. Fresh rosemary chopped. You can use dried. You guys are a great team. Super simple ingredients. Doesnt have to be fancy. Then pour it on the chicken. You dont have to marinate it, but you can if you want to. Then put it on the grill. How long would it have been in there . You have to have your grill or skillet really hot over medium high hit. Sizzle right away. Five minutes per side. While it grills, i want to show you how to make a mexican red rice. Rice can go every color and flavor. For mexicans, we love it red. We have oil with heating. We soaked the rice for five minutes in warm water. Drained it with cold water. If you let it soak, it will soften. If you dont have time, no worries. You do like my mom does. She does the olive oil first and then it coats and gives it that crunchiness too. Its that first step we always do. As you say it coasts it and gives it a nutty flavor. And you know the rice is ready to receive the flavor broth. When it turns from the grayish white to a shiny white. As it does, what were going to flavor with today is a pound of tomatoes. Fresh or canned. Add the garlic, onion, salt. And then you puree until completely smooth. Perfect. And then so you can flavor it with anything you want. Here were doing tomatoes, but you can do poblano peppers and cilantro and make it green. If you want yellow, do saffron. The next step is you add the broth. I always say if youre going to a mexican chicken and you dont see sizzle and smoke and noise, dont eat there. Its not a mexican kitchen. So you want to cook that until the rice soaks all the tomato broth and it gets pasty like this. Then you add the chicken broth. And you make it healthy a by adding all the veggies. Here were adding carrots and peas and corn. Once your chicken is done and once the chicken is done its here. You bring this to a boil. 15 minutes youre set. Once the chicken is done, you can have your chicken and rice. Just slice it. But a great thing with these lime chicken, if you have leftovers or want to do Something Different. You make a sandwich. Theres chicken in here. I cant stand it. How could we miss this . They came in to join the party. So you can make it on the side or with rice and avocado. We were premature. What else is new . Recipes on today. Com. Dig in. Were still having a little bit here. That was fun. Weve got clever cleaning products coming good morning, everyone. Im scott mcgrew. The city of san bruno is accusing pg e of illegal misconduct. This comes after the deadly gas explosion in san bruno that killed eight people and destroyed dozens of homes. Leaders have uncovered 40 violations of state law through documents that were obtained through a lawsuit settlement. Were going to have lots more on this story in our next newscast at 11 00. Investigators in san jose trying to figure out what sparked a fire near a propane depot. It broke out around 11 00 last night near interstate 280. Crews had to shut down the interstate in both directions and evacuated a neighborhood for a while. They managed to stop the flames before any of the tanks exploded. Lets check your weather this morning with christina. Temperature for today, upper 80s. Feeling more like the 90s when you add in the humidity. A stray shower or two as we progress throughout the day today. Overall, though, were looking good. Hot with a few showers and staying muggy through tomorrow. Dry heat will return later in the week. First, though, lets check your drive with mike. Christina, were looking towards 101, its slow at 680, the interchange there. Look at the approach up towards trimbull. The rest of the northbound route is starting to recover. So is 101. Were hearing about clearing for west 580. They are trying the last stages of the clearing where a big rig has been turned over since 1 00 a. M. The bay bridge toll plaza, basically very little backup. A couple of folks looking for cash. Back to you. All right, mike. Thank you. Another local news update in half an hour. From nbc news this is today with Kathie Lee Gifford and hoda kotb. Live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Hey, everybody. So happy youre with us today. Its fun day monday, and were going to check our attitudes. Yes, we are. Its fun day monday. We have a whole nice week to get to until we get to the next weekend. Its july 28th. I decided attitude is everything. Attitude is everything. Everything. How was your weekend . It was very nice. Me and boots cooked on friday night. I made my fondu fish. It has only three ingredients. I was googling the show i couldnt remember how long it was supposed to be in there. I couldnt remember anyway, i followed our recipe. Sea bass, right . They said thats all fished out. I did cod instead. Thats how she cooks. Did you even put pam on the no. Just put it in. Two ingredients, and then we just hung out. Did boots enjoy it . He did. He liked it. Boots also enjoyed the other thing you made. What . Mojito. Yeah. I made a mean mojito. We had a really kind of fun just stayed in the city, and the city new york is really great in the summer sometimes because everyone gets out of the city. You have it to yourself a little bit. Yep. How was your weekend . Not good, but thank you for asking. No, it was pretty good. This is the weekend that i couldnt decide what it wanted to be. It was weird, weird weather, right . It was like really sunny and beautiful a couple of mornings, and then dark. Then it was like at 5 00 gorgeous. Happy it came out for happy hour. Thats for sure. You know when its going to be happy hour around here . Friday. Friday. Friday. Yep. Regis is going to host with me. Reg is back. Im so excited about it. Its been two years since he was i have seen him a lot. Weve had a lot i havent hosted with him, and he is excited about it. He says where is hoda going . I said koda is going a vacation with her mom and sister, a couple of friends. He is going to pitch in. Well have a good time. Okay. So another woman is celebrating 50. Youre not the only one, hoda woman. Sandra bullock turned 50 this weekend. That shocked me. Im sorry. The woman looks 25 years old. I know. She looks half her age, and shes full of life. I know. You want to hate her, and you cant. Do you remember speed. That movie was 20 years ago. 1994. This is what she looked like in 199 when she was 30 years old. What we meant was not yet. Later were going to discuss that. Anyway we cant even afford pictures of ourselves anymore on this show, much less anybody else. She did celebrate her 50th with friends, and one of her friends, good friends yes. Is Chelsea Handler. She instagramed a couple of pictures over the weekend. One is with sandra with her sister, and look who is mooning . Look closely. We see chelsea. Sandra, her sister. Sfroo i cant make it out. There is somebody they said theyre in jackson hole. We blurred. Someones bottom was on there, right . Somebody mooned it. We didnt know that Sandra Bullock and Chelsea Handler were such good friends, but then we remembered the shower scene. The shower scene. Do you remember on chelsea lately. 2012. Show it cant show it wrash it was too darn expensive. Youll have to take our word for it. What is your favorite Sandra Bullock movie . I loved the proposal with Ryan Reynolds and betty white. I watched that 100 times. Miss conjeanality. Blind side, fantastic. Blind side when she was you. Zoog everybody says i want you to watch the blind side on demand. Well show you what you can. Picture close your eyes and picture it. Thats our new theme for our show. Use your imagination. Nobody does that enough anymore. When you watch that when you watch that movie blind side and you see Sandra Bullocks character, think for one second about kathie lee. Just think about her when you watch that character and we promise you it will all make sense. All right. Piper parabo, who we really love shes come on the show to promote her show covert affairs, which she got married. We didnt know. Producerdirector of covert affairs. She is just a doll. This is what their wedding looked like. It looks like something out of game of thrones, doesnt it . Not him. Her. Shes got like a gold veil and a Silver Wedding dress, and he looks like he has his own sense of style. A little funky, and they got a new orleans brass band behind them. They probably had a lot of fun, obviously. Yeah. Shes such a sweet one. Didnt know she had that wild side. Kind of like hodie and boots. The roon you guys dont know boots and have not been introduced to him because hoda very wisely has learned that sometimes things are best unshared if you want to keep them special. Im proud of you. There is boots. I think im having a hot flash, by the way. I think im starting to get them. Im not kidding. I didnt start until last week. You said whats going on . I said im just hot from the gym. Oh, my god, im sweating. You start freaking a little. Because you have no control. The air conditioner can be on full blast, but you are, like, ah then youre freezing. Its weird. Its like youre sweating through your clothes, and then are you lucky you just had them happen to you like two weeks before you turned 50. I wonder if it was just suggested because i saw we had a menopause segment. What a difference. Wow. How long is this going to go on . I dont know. I googled it this morning. Its kind of like how long does this last . They said sometimes they are every hour. I think mine are more than every hour. I think mine happened. Mine started at 41, and it went on for ten years. Yeah. You know, my doctor who tries me on all kind of hormonal things which have made me crazy, and i just thought, you know what, women have fwaun through menopause since cave man cave woman times. Its a natural part of life. Get over it. Stop taking pills. Im not i said, you know what, its a part of life, hoda. Man up. Oh, thats funny. Man up about menopause. God. More couples want cash im sorry. As a wedding gift. Im always cold in here. How would you feel if somebody said please dont give me a toaster. I just want cash. Thats what people are doing now. 80 of couples getting married this year prefer money to a wedding present. You would think if you registered you know what you need, so that means you get things you like. People are getting married at older and oftentimes they already have a toaster or theyve lived together for years so they have those things, but theyre still struggling with i dont know. People are on their third and fourth marriages. Im sorry. Im not giving you anything. All right . Im going to pray for you, but i am not giving you a dag gone thing. You know what, though, i think cash seems so impersonal. It seems crass to me. It seems weird to hand people a pile of cash. They do it at bar mitzvahs and other things as well. I think its quite cultural. In certain cultures people like money. You know what i dont like . Maybe it was amanda saying that at a wedding she went to people pin cash on the brides veil. Its a southern tradition. Doesnt mean like i got money moye veil. Its like, hey, good luck. You know . I think its its a lot like exotic dancers with the youre right. It kind of does. Okay. Lets go to some good video. Its time. We paid for it . We paid for this one. So you know this were about to show you video of a dog who has not seen its owner in two years. Rebecca has been overseas for two years. This is the moment that her schnauzer, casey, first saw her for the first time in two years. Casey. He, like, fainted. At first he jumped up on her, which we musd. He went crazy, and then the pitch of him look. Then ready and down. Dog is fine. Oh, my god. He cant even believe it. Hyperventilating. Oh.

[ male announcer ] xarelto® is the first oral prescription blood thinner proven to treat and help prevent dvt and pe that doesnt require regular blood monitoring or changes to your diet. [ brian ] for a prior dvt i took warfarin, which required routine blood testing and dietary restrictions. Not this time. While i was taking xarelto®, i still had to stop racing, but i didnt have to deal with that blood monitoring routine. You made great time. I found another way. [ male announcer ] dont stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. While taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. Get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of dvt and pe. With xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto® was the right move for me. [ male announcer ] ask your doctor about xarelto® today.

A couple of problems caused headaches for morning drivers during the morning commute. In sunnyvale, a power line came down north of the 280 interchange. Crews had to shut down both directions for about 90 minutes before they could clear that scene. And then take a look at this mess on 580 near livermore. A truck carrying thousands of bananas overturned just west of the Altamont Pass and closed most of the lanes through the morning commute. Nobody was hurt.

And we are counting on some very light showers to roll through the bay area. We head throughout the day today. Also, a slight chance of thunderstorms as well. Mostly between the hours of 12 00 and 5 00. Overall, though, a few showers today, muggy tomorrow and then dry as we head throughout the weekend. Here is mike with your driver. 580 was smooth.

Invokana® is a oncedaily pill that works around the clock to help lower a1c. Heres how the kidneys allow sugar to be absorbed back into the body. Invokana® reduces the amount of sugar allowed back in, and sends some sugar out through the process of urination. And while its not for weight loss, it may help you lose some weight. Invokana® can cause important side effects, including dehydration, which may cause some people to have loss of body water and salt. This may also cause you to feel dizzy, faint, lightheaded, or weak especially when you stand up. Other side effects may include kidney problems, genital yeast infections, urinary tract infections, changes in urination, high potassium in the blood, or increases in cholesterol. Do not take invokana® if you have severe kidney problems or are on dialysis or if allergic to invokana® or its ingredients. Symptoms of allergic reaction may include rash, swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop taking invokana® and call your doctor right away or go to the nearest hospital.

You can dread it or you can approach it with a sense of humor like one woman has. Check out this video. Take a look. Girl, you thought you were done learning about your body after age 12 . Well, your uterus. And your ovaries didnt agree. Menopause is when your period has been over for one solid year its the process of menopause starts much earlier holy crap you can start getting symptoms ten years before and thats called perimenopause, perimenopause, peri menopause, gross its the idea of a cler woman with the blog weekly menopause, and the author of love sex again. If you are wonder whying we have this hair blown look is because we have people in our studio helping us out as the whole process begins in ernest. Its not just psychological, is it, ladies, that shes just started right before shes turning 50 . Its the real thing. Its real. I saw your video, by the way. Can we talk about that for one second. I dont have a singing uterus. You dont . I had on my uterus costume, and i got to the airport, and the tsa was all over it. I had to take it off. The reason i made this music video is because i was completely blind sided by perimenopause, and i really want women to understand, the younger women, especially, what perimenopause is, how it affects their biological clock and their fertility and what the symptoms are so that they can become their own health advocate. Yes. Speaking of symptoms, hot flashes like number one by far. Absolutely the number one symptom. Again, talking about being blind sided. My patients say to me all the time im going to tough it out. Im going to do a little yoeg wra. Im going to get a fan. Then it hits them. Were not talking a little warmth. Were talking rivers of sweat. All those women that say, well, im just going to tough it out, they cant. You know, we always say its not your mothers menopause, and part of it is your menopause may be different than your mother, but your mother wasnt running a company and an airlines pilot, a talk show host. You have to function. You have to work. And when you are up all night flashing, my message is you dont need to do that. You dont need to suffer. There are solutions. There are safe, wonderful things you can do because this should be a good time of life. They must have made new products on the market because when i was perimenopausal at the age of 41 41 is not abnormal. 51 is the normal age, but any time after 40 is considered to be normal. Young women, often a lot more severe. Thats when my symptoms started. I was in the middle of a business meeting. All of a sudden i couldnt finish my train of thought. It comes on that fast. New then it looked like i had run a 5k, and i was drenched. I had its really hard to function like that. Its good to understand all the different options. There are some thekz you can do. Yeah. What are some basics . The basic thing is you have to look at what your symptoms are. Hot flashes, for example. The most common symptom. You can do some lifestyle things. All the yoga and fans in the world, its not going to help if are you that woman with rivers of sweat. You say avoid alcohol, avoid spicy foods, avoid again, switch to white. Red is a little bit worse. You can find some triggers. Beyond that, some women just really need to go to their doctor and get a prescription. Now, when we talk about going to your doctor, i wish i could say that every doctor was a menopause expert, but theyre not. While your doctor may be, you need to get good information. My favorite place to send women is north american menopause society. Menopause. Org. You can also get good information. Once you get your doctor, he or she will tell you, first of all, about the estrogen products that are available now. We should point out that there are links with estrogen and there are issues that come along with it when it comes to less than you think. Thats the beg disconnect. Thats why its so important to get good information. When i think of it as the pill. A lot of people dont know about the transdermal estrogen, meaning it goes through the skin, which in many ways are much safer. You can use a gel or a patch. I brought one with me. We have one of the sprays here, which is another way of giving estrogen. You can put a little patch on your skin that you just wear it. We have a couple of seconds left. I want to ask other guests, when is the best time to sex is an issue. It aint great after bloo it can be very painful. My vag passed out and went to sahara desert. Thats what she said.

If cleaning the bathroom and launtdry and kitchen wasnt enough, now we have a few more things you should be adding to your list. Your cleaning supplies. That is right. The brushes, the mops, even the machines youre using could be spreading more germs and definitely some bad scents around the house. Here with some Sanitary Solutions is editor of all you magazine nina waldorf. Hi, nina. Thank you for having me. Now, you can see that the mop can get a little bit icky if its sitting around. Even if you rinse it out or wash it. What you are going to want to do is once a week you are going to want to take one cup of vinegar, one cup of water in warm water. Dunk your mop. Let it sit in there. Marinate it a little. You pick it up, and you let it rinse it off and dry it out. Thats going to clean off the mop. It really is like you can buy it by the bucket full for so cheap. Then when it comes to your sponges, sponges, who knew, are actually the dirtiest thing in your house. Yeah. You want different sponges for your bathroom. Different sponges for your kitchen. With your bathroom sponge, you are going to pour one table spoon of vinegar. Again. You are going to exactly youre going to put it in the microwave for two minutes on high. Not only does this clean the sponge, but it actually cleans the microwave too. Youre kidding. Your sponge can last can you throw it in the dish washer . This is what you are going to do with your cousin sponkitchen. This is the bathroom one. I dont want to put that in my microwave. It actually cleans your microwave too. See, listen to nina. That counter intuitive. Do what you are comfortable with. Are you comfortable . Im very comfortable. Your dish washer, youre going to they this in every other day. Along with your dishes. It cleans it right out. No vinegar. Two weeks. When it comes to your dish washer itself, the great thing to do is once a week take out the bottom rack and wipe everything down. I have never done that. Its very simple. I just take paper towels and do that. Then once a month youre going to take a cup of vinegar. Youre going to put it in the top rack with nothing else in the dish washer. Sprinkles a little baking soda in the bottom. Let it roll. Let it roll for 30 minutes, short cycle. Clears out the odors. Take everything out. Wipe it down. Done. So easy. Maybe just throw them away, the sponges, because theyre not that expensive. Youll do that anyway every two weeks, but it extends the life of your products. So your broom. You have a broom. Once a week youre going take your hand vac, and ewe going to get all the debris off of it, so you make surure not leaving the gross debris on the broom. Yeah. Then once a month youre going to take just a couple drops of dish soap, pour it in the bucket, and then let it soak, rinse it out. Youre good to go. Use different brooms in different parts of your house so that you dont spread germs around. Oh, my fwosh gosh. Brooms. You are going to take a different wipe. Youre going to wipe down the handle once a week. This is a really great tip. Once a month youre going to take two cups of bleach, pour it into the toilet bowl and soak your brush in the toilet bowl. Rinse it out. I love this tip. Ure basically going to let it dry by clamp it like this so you dont you know, it just automatically dries like that. What do we need here at the end, nina . What we have here is this is part of the washing machine. You might not think that you need to clean a washing machine, but it can get some mold in it. Once a week youre going to take bleach, fill the dispenser. You can run your white through at the same time. If you get mold, then you can use one part bleach, four parts water. Spritz, dry. Then youre good to go. I will try about anything. Thank you, nina. All right. A kindhearted person thats touched kwountless lives. First, this is today on nbc.
