Flood warnings again today. In cranford, new jersey, stunning video showing water right there, just rushing right into the home in the basement, plowing down that wall. In nearby passaic, new jersey, the search continues after two College Students still missing were swept into a storm drain. Their car can be seen sitting atop a railing above the storm drain. And across louisiana, the situation is becoming increasingly desperate as temperatures soar and Food And Fuel run short. In jefferson parish, a man was Shot And killed while waiting in line at a gas station. Cnn has Team Coverage on the ground, as the cleanup continues. Well check with Nadia Romero in New Orleans in a moment. But first, Evan Mcmorris Santoro is in paterson, new jersey. Evan, whats the situation . Reporter well, fred, you mentioned that video out of cranford of that water rapidly filling up that basement. Thats what happened here in paterson, as well. The Passaic River runs through this town, it flooded very, very quickly, put feet of water all over parts of town. And three days larts, theres still a lot of water around parts of this town. Youre looking down this road here, you can see water, theres subemergencied vehicles. Weve seen some vehicles trying to make it through here, but this water is still sitting here doing damage. Its going to take a long time for it to dry and after that for the damage to be assessed and repaired. I spoke to the mayor of paterson earlier today about what his city is facing once things like this dry up. About 300 people have been rescued to date. Very daring rescue here in the North Side of our city. There have been countless cars left abandoned, about 100. We have 30 families that are at the Emergency Shelter that we opened up and our streets are strewn with debris. So, fred, i spoke to the mayor, what he said was, theres a lot of examining that has to be done, decisions that have to be made about what to keep and get rid of, what to fix, how to pay for it. Theres a lot of ida still to come here in the northeast, fred. Yeah, and the cost to tackle, i mean, its exorbitant. Nobody really knows. No ones really put an exact figure. Evan mcmorris santoro, thank you so much. On to louisiana, now. More than 700,000 remain without power nearly a week after ida hit. That on top of fuel shortages, leaving many in dangerous situations as the temperatures rise, just sweltering levels. Cnns Nadia Romero is in New Orleans for us. Nadia, youre speaking with people who are evacuating to shelters, but tell us about what theyve been experiencing and what theyre hoping is around the corner for them . Well, fred, a lot of people are just looking forward to some ac, fresh clothes, food, water. I mean, the basics, right . The basics that you need really to survive, and not just be comfortable, but to go daytoday. So fred, were inside of the Convention Center here in New Orleans. There are about 12 pickup locations all across the city. People can get on a Coach Bus, come here, and this is where they do their registration. You can see behind me, there are people who are coming in. A lot of them, the city tells us, are coming from assisted living facilities, nursing homes, places where they didnt have power, they didnt have generators, and not living in the best conditions. So they were transported here and other people who wanted to come here, who were living in their homes who had Roof Damage from the storm, or mildew, mold that is growing, because they dont have ac and its so hot, and they were flooded out during the hurricane. They were able come here, get registered, and then they get on a Coach Bus to go to Northern Louisiana or to texas where they can finally find some relief. I spoke with a man named terry. Terry told me, nady, i have been in a storm since february. He said his wife died of covid19 in february, then the storm hit. Hurricane ida, and now he has nothing left and No One to lean on. Listen to terry. This seemed like it was worse than katrina. Like you said, Nobody Try to they aint trying to make sure that they ought to be at work and try to get them old folks out there. How is it worse than katrina . The lights, the electric. You know, the power, you know . Stuff like that. You know. As far as katrina, katrina was worse. But, you know, this right here, this is ridiculous. Tough for terry. It has been so tough for terry. He lives in a building. Its him, people in their 70s and 80s. The electricity went out. They have to go upstairs. They have no airconditioning in those biuildings. The Heat Index today, 102. So he said, i found a mask and found my way to the evacuation center. Im getting out of here so i can get some relief. But his heart is broken, fred. He misses his wife. He wishes she was here to lean on during this hard time and hes doing it by himself as an evacuee from a major storm. Those are the stories that were hearing time and time again, fredricka, as people are trying to find their way out of New Orleans and to some sense of whatever their new normalcy will be. Its so sad, many times over. And yeah, it is hard for him and a lot of people to try to see anything hopeful that is around the corner, because the misery is just so deep. Nadia romero, thank you so much. So ida is now being blamed for at least 63 deaths across the nation. Cnns Ed Lavendera has the tragic story of a father in louisiana who died in his backyard after he was hit by a falling tree. Reporter recovering from the aftermath of a major hurricane is hard enough. Figuring out how to recover from a broken heart at the same time, is even harder. Thats the Nightmare Chasity Fathery and her family are cleaning up. I close my eyes and just see the tree hitting him. Its just its horrible. The tree that he hated. The tree that he hated. He wanted it gone . He wanted it gone. Reporter 60yearold Dennis Duplessis was finishing lastminute Storm Preparations at his home in louisiana. That tree that he hated so much, a nearly 100foot tall oak crashed down on him in The Darkness And Driving Rain as he stepped out of this truck. My mom called Me And My Uncle had to break it to me. Reporter duplessis says that a Tree Limb severed a an artery in his leg. As they waited for medical help to arrive, a relative held him. She was with him when he took his last breath. And im so thankful that he was not alone. Reporter they say duplessis recited the our Father Prayer and asked that one last message be shared with his life. Tell hope i love her. Those were his last words. Storms like Hurricane Ida changed lives. The Damage Cant be measured solely by the physical destruction. Storms take symbols of the past. A lot of plaster damage. Reporter Joy Banner is the Communications Director for the Whitney Plantation museum, west of New Orleans. Shes a descendant of the slaves who once lived here. Whitney plantation is the only plantation in this region that focuses on the experience and the life of the enslaved people. Reporter Hurricane Ida flattened some structures and damaged the plantations historic church, artifacted touched by the hands of slaved and freed slaves. History that leaves today. There were lots of tears when i was walking through the site. Ive never it was such a surreal experience. And it was such a sinking feeling in my heart, just walking around and seeing some of our buildings did collapse. Seeing the trees and the debris all over the site. Reporter Banner Rode the storm out in the plantations main house, built in 1791. It was built by the art artis artisanship, the craftsman, the skill of the Enslaved Africans and their descendants. Reporter 230 years of history survived the storm. Taking measure of all thats lost is part of recovering from a storm like Hurricane Ida. The landscape changes in ways big and small. Life is never quite the same. Ed lavendera, cnn, laplace, louisiana. Coming up, Booster Shot confusion. Why the biden administrations September 20th Rollout Plan may be scaled back. Plus, voters will decide to keep or replace California Governor Gavin newsom in just ten days. And latino voters could be key on Election Day. 77 you need an ecolab scientific clean here.

With 24 7 roadside assistance. Okay. Think im gonna wear these home. Excellent choice. All right. This just in. The u. S. Navy has confirmed the deaths of five missing sailors off the San Diego coast. They were in a helicopter that crashed into the Pacific Ocean tuesday afternoon. One Crew Member was rescued on wednesday. The helicopter was conducting routine Flight Operations off the deck of the uss abraham lincoln. And cnn has learned the White House may have to scale back its Rollout Plan for Coronavirus Booster shots set for later on this month. The planned Rollout Set to begin September 20th may now be limited to just the pfizer vaccine, but it could take a few weeks longer to move forward with modernas shots, because the fda needs more data on that companys doses. And this week, dr. Anthony fauci explained why he thinks a Booster Shot may be inevitable for most people. But i must say, from my own experience as an immunologist, i would not at all be surprised that the adequate full regimen for vaccination will likely be three doses. All right. Lets talk more about this right now. Joining us right now, dr. Carlos del rio. He is the executive Associate Dean of emory University School of medicine at grady Health System in atlanta. Always good to see you. So are the White Houses ambitions matching the science on boosters right now . Well, you know, fredricka, we need to remember that were learning about these vaccines as were using them. But i want to remind people that a fair number of vaccines we use are actually threedose vaccines. Many vaccines, you give a first shot, a Shot A month later, and a shot six months later. So that consesequence that sequence hello . I can hear you. Can you hear us okay . Yeah, i can hear you fine. Can you hear that sequence tends to be very characteristic of vaccines. So i would not be surprised if many covid vaccines require something very similar to that. Mmhmm. Okay. Lets talk about georgia. Its called out the national guard to help in some of the states hospitals, overwhelmed by covid patients. Almost two dozen of them were sent to help at grady hospital. Other hospitals in the area say that they, too, are at capacity. So describe the scene for us, whether it be at grady or other hospitals particularly in georgia. Well, hospitals in georgia, like in many places in the united states, especially in the southern u. S. , are at capacity. We surpassed 6,000 people hospitalized with covid in georgia. And while those numbers dont seem very large, youve got to remember that there are many other hospitals with other diseases. And i am very thankful of the national guard coming in. Unfortunately, many of those in the national guard are not medically trained, so theyre being used in other activities that you would see nurses and other medical personnel to be doing, for example, bringing food into Patients Room or answering calls or bringing water. And those kind of activities will then release some of the medical staff to be able to do other activities. But i want to emphasize that we have a serious problem with exhausted Health Care workers and not enough nurses to go around. That is very worrisome. How are, in general, you know, medical personnel . Doctors, nurses, everybody that are helping to care for people in hospitals. How are they holding up . At some point, just everyone reaches a breaking point, right . Just a Stress Level where they just cant handle it any longer. Were obviously in totally unchartered waters, right . But clearly, resilience is very important. Clearly, i want to commend all of our Health Care workers for what theyre doing and the resilience theyre showing and the commitment theyre showing, but people are having Mental Health issues, people are physically and mentally exhausted and you have to realize that they also have lives outside of Health Care. So they may have a sick re relative, they may have kids going back to school and coming back infected. And all of that is adding additional stress to their lives. And then more children have been going to the hospitals and Emergency Rooms in states with lower vaccination rates, according to a new study of the cdc, so director Rochelle Walensky explains how she sees it. Take a listen. Although we are seeing more cases in children and more overall cases, these studies demonstrated that there was not increased Disease Severity in children. Ins instead, more children have covid19, because there is more disease in the community. What are your thoughts and concerns particularly about children and especially, you know, the area of children who are not eligible for vaccines . Were seeing an increase in hospitalizations with children. There are not many, but there are more than they were ever before. And pediatric hospitals are experiencing something they have never experienced before, which is sick children coming into the Y Icus and the hospital, many requiring additional support measures, such as those for extra corporeal measures, which is an extreme way of delivering oxygen. We are seeing sick children with covid. But i want to emphasize for those children under the age of 12 not eligible for vaccination, the best things we can do to protect those children is number one, vaccinated al all the adul around them and use masks. Face masks and vaccination are the key to keeping our children safe. Very true. Still got to wear those masks. All right. Dr. Carlos del rhio, always goo to see you. Thank you so much. Thank you.

Americans could soon learn more about the 9 11 Terror Attacks as President Biden orders the government to conduct a Declassification Review of topsecret documents tied to 9 11. Any documents deemed eligible for declassification will be released within the next six months. More than 1,600 people affected by the attack signed on to a letter by biden last month, calling on him to stay away from 9 11 Memorial Events at ground zero, unless he released documents related to the attacks. President biden is expected to attend events to commemorate the 20year inadvertence next week. And this disappointmenting August Jobs report shows the surging Delta Variant has become a major roadblock in the Nations Path to economic recovery. Only 235,000 jobs were added last month when economists were expecting more than 700,000 jobs. Cnn chief business correspondent, Christine Romans has more on how the rising number of Covid Infections stalled the Job Market last month. Reporter call it the delta drag. Jobs growth slowed in august as the Delta Variant surged. After very strong hiring in june and july, august was the slowest Job Growth since january. And the very sector that drove so much of the job gains this year stalled. Hiring in Leisure And Hospitality was flat. Employment in that sector is still down about 10 since before the pandemic. Job losses last month were in retail stores, even without renewed lockdowns, americans are turning more cautious about going out as the variant spreads and hospitals fill up. There was strong hiring in professional services, think architects, engineers, Computer System designs, scientific research, gains in Manufacturing And Transportation and warehousing. And notable, the jobless rate fell to the lowest of the pandemic, 5. 2 , as households reported stronger Job Growth there. Big picture, 17 Million jobs have been added since the crash in the spring of 2020. The economy still down 5. 3 million jobs since the pandemic began. Christine romans, thank you so much for that. All right. Coming up, in just a couple of days, voters ten days, voters will decide to keep or replace California Governor Gavin Newsom And Latino Voters could be key to his political fate.

This hour, Senator Elizabeth Warren will be campaigning for the governor in Los Angeles and Tomorrow Senator Amy klobuchar is expected in that state to campaign for newsom. Recent polls show his chances of keeping his job are looking good, but if newsom is to remain governor, latino voters could be key on Election Day. Cnns Kyung Lah explains. Reporter gary Montanas Day as a Maintenance Technician is so jammed he doesnt have time to care about the upcoming recall election. A registered independent, he carries one overpowering feeling about democratic Governor Gavin Newsom. That lack of, i dont think he really understood the average person voted you in. Hes most upset about Newsom Dining at an exclusive restaurant in the middle of the pandemic, why he worked. It is in californias latino communities where covids impact was felt the most. Everyone in Montanas Family got covid. I just saw the lack of leadership, feels like. That like to me was like, okay, thats when i thought that we needed to recall the governor. Reporter latinos make up an estimated 30 of californias voters. All roads to victory come September 14th are going to lead through every Latino Neighborhood in the state of california. Am i right . Reporter Key in whether Governor Newsom keeps his job. Thanks for your help. Why democrats are blanketing Spanish Language media with ads. [ speaking spanish ] reporter as are the republican challengers. [ speaking spanish ] reporter with less than two weeks to go to recall Election Day, the drive is getting the base out to vote. Progressives have been knocking on doors through this central Los Angeles neighborhood, while some say this have you heard about the recall . No. I have not. Reporter and there is frustration over the governors economic policies. Theyre recalling Governor Newsom, right. Yeah, we dont want that fool in there. Reporter most in this predominantly latino community say theyll vote no on recalling newsom. Im going to vote no. Most likely would say, keep him in office. We could end up with something worse, something like donald trump. Reporter in 2018, 64 of latinos voted for newsom, part of a resounding victory sending the democrat to the governors manchin, while the most recent Recall Poll shows latinos support keeping newsom, there are questions about whether those voters will even cast a ballot. Sometimes we show up, sometimes we just dont. It depends on what the issue is. And sometimes were the ones who can change the whole paradigm and sometimes we just dont show up and everybody wonders what happened. Reporter one frustrated independent feels so disconnected, hes considering voting republican. Yeah. I would rather see someone more in touch with the people. Reporter montana and the other voters we met in the story, none of them had actually turned in their ballots yet. That is something important to watch. Now, the governor will get some help trying to rally those voters in addition to other democrats in the state with some national figures, senators Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren. Both will be in Los Angeles this weekend, standing beside Governor Newsom, hoping to energize that democratic base. Kyung lah, cnn, Los Angeles. All right. Interesting situation becomes even that much more fascinating, which is why we have brought in seema meta. She is a political writer for the last times and she has been covering this election very closely. Seema, so good to see you. So, Mailin Ballots, have they been flooding in or trickling in . Well, each of californias 22 Million registered voters received a Mailin Ballot because of the pandemic, and so far about 5. 7 million have been returned. So thats roughly a quarter of the electorate. But different groups are returning them in different numbers. Democrats have returned twice as many as republicans. Seniors have returned a lot. But latinos have not been voting in their share and young voters have not been voting as much. And these are two key coalitions for the governors chances of Holding On to his seat. So war feelings about were still in the height of a pandemic. And if you dont have significant turnout with the mailin opportunity, is there a feeling that people will actually show up at polls and it could make an impactful difference . In Los Angeles county where i am, voting centers just opened today, so starting today, you can go and cast your ballot that way instead of just mailing your ballot. But there is also, before you know, a couple of cycles ago, it was very common for republicans to vote early and democrats to vote on Election Day. But because of former president trump, that math has just been completely thrown in the air. The former president questioned the integrity of mail voting. So when you talk to republican voters, there is a concern about, if i mail my ballot in, is it really going to get there. Is somebody going to mess with it. A number of voters are waiting until Election Day to cast their vote. As we saw in kyungs piece, the latino vote is pivotal. Is newsom working hard to appeal to them . Does he feel fairly confident that hes got them in his camp . I think he realizes that both young voters are more likely to vote in president ial elections, but are notoriously more difficult to turn out during off year elections. Its an off year. Its september, you know, people are just finishing up their vacations, sending their kids to school. You dont have a history of voting at this time. So theyre cognizant of the task thats ahead of them and i think they are spending at least 10 Million in communities of color around the state. Theyre bringing out influencers like celebrities like George Lopez and Katy Perry and some instagram people that ive never heard of who are meant to attract the young people. So theyre certainly cognizant of the task ahead of hem. So celebrities and even some big democratic heavy hitters who are holding national office, senators Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar. Does that move the needle for voters in california . I think Elizabeth Warren is popular among progressive voters, so i think that shes effective there. And even though hes not physically here, hes on the air. And that is somebody whos very popular in california latinos and california young people. So theyre clearly bringing in national fireworks. And were Hearing Rumors that the Vice President is indeed coming back next week. She was supposed to be here about a week and a half ago, but unfortunately, there was a tragedy in afghanistan, so they canceled the trip. But it sounds like she will be coming out here next week.

And it comes as residents from the Gulf Coast to the northeast are struggling to recover from the devastating impact of ida. On the west coast, massive historic fires continue to burn out of control. These extreme weather events around the globe are raising serious questions about what Role Climate Change is playing in these large weatherdriven events. Natasha chen has the story. Reporter from coasttocoast, people are fleeing flames, wind, and water. They are very dangerous conditions, and in 22 years of doing this, weve never seen Fire Conditions like were seeing now. The Caldor Fire has forced Tens Of Thousands of people in the South Lake Tahoe area to evacuate. Its the 15th largest wildfire in california history. And out of the largest 20 california fires, 11 of them happened in the last five years. Up the coast, the Pacific Northwest saw a recordbreaking Heat Wave earlier in the summer. The Red Cross traditionally doesnt support cooling centers, but this is unfortunately our new normal. This is the first time it was 116 degrees. It wont be the last time. Reporter in the south, people are displaced from Hurricane Ida, which arrived on the 16th Anniversary of hurricane katrina. And in the northeast we are in a whole New World now. Lets be blunt about it. Reporter the remnants of ida brought Flash Flooding and tornados to areas that rarely saw these events in the past. The records that were brown in central park, for example, 3. 5 inches in one hour. It broke a record literally set one week earlier. That says to me that there are no more cataclysmic unforeseeable events. Reporter in august, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change says it is, quote, unequivocal that humans have caused the climate crisis. The report confirms that widespread and rapid changes have already happened, some of them irreversibly. The Lead Author of that report, kim cobb, explains how the Earth H has warmed more than 1 Degree Celsius since preindustrial levels. We have known for decades that rise in Fossil Fuel emissions are driving warming across the planet. This warming is related to the heating of the atmosphere that has caused a 7 increase in the amount of Water Vapor that the atmosphere can hold. Reporter more Water Vapor leads to higher humidity. In some areas, more drought. Weve had drought cycles, but this is the first time weve ever seen a megadrought, where its year after year. Reporter and in other areas, the potential for more rainfall and more frequent heavy rainstorms, with oceans retaining more heat, hurricanes can get stronger, slower, and wetter. And ida was a prime example of those changes. With every fraction of a degree of warming, the effects get worse. If we think this is bad, we have to get ready for the climate of the next decades, when we know we have a couple of tenths of degree warming more. Reporter in the u. N. Reports most optimistic scenario, the worlds emissions need to drop sharply, beginning now to net Carbon Emissions by 2050. Even then, well peak above a dangerous Warming Threshold before falling again. Cal fire tells us since the beginning of this year, nearly 2 Million acres of land have burned in california. Thats a size larger than the state of delaware. And in just thinking about when i was growing up here in the state in the 80s and 90s, we didnt hear about as many frequent, large wildfires. And so in looking up those lists of largest and most destructive wildfires, indeed, most of them happened in the last 10, 20 years. So fred, this the effects of climate Change Arent just for future generations to handle. Its happening in front of our eyes right now in our lifetimes.

Tennis star Naomi Osaka planning to take a break from the game after suffering a stunning loss in the third round of the u. S. Open last night. The defending u. S. Open champ and third ranked player in the world got emotional as she contemplated her future after the match didnt end well. I feel like for me, recently, like when i win, i dont feel happy. I feel hr more like a relief an then when i lose, i feel very sad. I dont think thats normal. And i didnt really want to cry, but basically, i feel it. You can hear her pain in her words and just look at her too. Osaka cited her Mental Health and decided to take some time away earlier in the summer. She withdrew from the French Open and then did not play at wimbledon after she was fine for refusing to speak to the media back in may. And then of course we saw her on the World Stage during the Olympic Games and even being the Torch Bearer in tokyo. Lets discuss all this now with christine brennan, Cnn Sports Analyst And Columnist for usa today. I mean, christine, i find it very painful. You know, im hurting for her because i think were all trying to figure out even though shes been very open, right, she even penned that time magazine article, very open about struggling with something at the root of her Mental Health, but did we hear from her anything more telling about whats at the root of why she says she feels very happy when she wins but very sad and then doesnt want to cry, but shes kind of like, sharing with us all a little bit but i think theres still a lot of questions about what is she really going through. Whats happening . Totally, fredricka. Its heartbreaking and your heart goes out to her. Of course, we wish her well. Shes 23 years old. Shes already won four Grand Slam titles. Shes had a career of a lifetime in four years, and actually three years, and so its all coming to bear. Its coming down on her. She has been so honest over this summer, a summer that has highlighted Mental Health for her. For simone biles, obviously, other athletes. Thank goodness theyre talking about it and have the forum to discuss it and hopefully helping others as this is going on but in the meantime, its just heartbreaking. Shes going to take a break. Who knows how long that will be. Certainly, we hope for the best for her. If she never plays tennis again, shes already one of the greats of all time. I certainly hope though, that we see her again and that she does play and can get everything settled in her mind to become that great Tennis Player that she wants to be and well see how it goes, but all the best wishes for her, of course. Also very courageous of her to try to express all that she can and wants to so publicly. I mean, this is often a very private struggle, can be a very private struggle and she has felt compelled to share as much as she can and i think thats what makes it, i guess, all the more palpable about her pain because you want to have some answers for her and you almost want her to articulate the answers for herself, but of course, she cant do that and shes letting everybody know how hard this is. I wonder if, too, is fame, is that part of the struggle too of just, you know, shes got her earned spot, but its the weight of the world because of the expectations. Fredricka, we hear this all the time. Too much too soon. Its not too much too soon, she deserves everything she got, but its been really, really hard and its played out on a worldwide stage in front of our eyes and i think thats why shes let us in and thats wonderful, but also, it is so difficult to watch, but i give her lots of credit for the courage, as youre describing, to be able to talk about this and bring it to the fore. Womens soccer players. Theyve let us in on this pursuit. By u. S. Women national team players against the u. S. Soccer federation in 2019. I mean, thats colossal. The player allege theyre not getting equal pay with the mens team, a Federal Court Last Year dismissed the claim saying Womens Team negotiated a different play structure. This all new Cnn Film Lfg brings you a Behind The Scenes look at the determination that these women bring to their game, both on and off the field. Heres a preview and then talk some more to you about it. It took true blood, sweat, and tears to obviously get to where i am today. There were times i wanted to give up. I mean, here i am, three time pro champion. Two time ncaa champion. Ive achieved my dream. I wanted to make usa team. And i did. But even though all of these accolades sound absolutely incredible, we dont get paid very much. Christine, i love that shot with her son helping her work out. Its just so sweet. So talk to me about this path. I mean, it would seem like, okay, they should be able to get their way. I mean, look at these amazing athletes and their determination, but this has been quite the fight. Theyre not getting their way. No, it has been going on since the 99ers basically, the World Cup in 99. The next generation. Theyre taking the lead from billy Jean King and others. Very important national and international conversations. They are, the womens soccer
