forward to getting out there in a couple of minutes. seven days ago we were talking about harvey's impending land fall. >> can you believe we're still talking about it and now it's looking to be one of the most dangerous and deadly storms in this country's history. new threats to public health and safety. surfacing as southeast texas struggles to recover from the hurricane. miguel is in port arthur for us. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this is what many people are waking up to. floodwaters all around the neighborhood and seeping into homes. we now know at least 100,000 homes have been affected by the storm. death toll stands nearly at 40. officials fear that number will rise as they continue to go door to door looking for those who have been left behind. those search and rescue missions have been continuing for several days. we know they are going on today. both by air and by boat. it is a devastating scene across this region as many more seek shelter. some of those evacuees are actually being taken further out to outlying communities where they have room. we know cities like houston, many are returning home for the very first time as the floodwaters recedes. revealing heart breaking damage. we know in the end, the damage not only to homes and infrastructures will be in the billions and as you mentioned, this storm is still moving on, but the damage here is still mounting, savannah? >> miguel, thank you. the storm's impact on oil refineries and gasoline supplies is now showing up at the pump. tom costello joins us with what holiday weekend travelers can expect. >> reporter: good morning. the national average right now, national average as luck would have it is exactly that where we are in red. $2.52 a gallon. up 16 cents in just a week or so. we have a big problem, a quarter of the nation's refineries, 25% right now offline. those are in the gulf of mexico. a massive pipeline that runs from the gulf of mexico up to new jersey carrying more than 3 million barrels of oil and jet fuel and diesel, that is going to be shutdown until at least sunday. as a result of that, the white house tapping the strategic petroleum reserve. million barrels of oil that will flow into the system. however, we've got an awful lot of gas stations along the coast that don't have any gas at the pumps. where there is gas, pump prices are jumping. national average expected to jump anywhere between 15-35 cents a gallon depending where you are in the country. we're going to see this play out over the next couple of days, maybe a week or more. the question is how long will it take for all of that oil refining capacity to get back online. this is the labor day weekend, we're going to see a lot of americans hitting the roads, pump prices are already on the increase. guys, back to you. >> tom costello for us this morning. thank you. the georgia police officer who was caught on dash cam video telling a passenger that, quote, we only kill black people

of course driven by the surge in opioid abuse. nbc medical contributor is here. there's news this morning about a new effort to actually ban some of those opioids. who is asking for that ban? is it likely to succeed. >> this is something called a citizen petition. almost anybody can file to the fda. this one specifically is made up of victim's families as well as doctors and public health organizations. they have petitioned the fda to reanalyze the availability of what we call high dose formulations of opioids. >> what drugs would those be. >> something like oxy cotton, oxycontin 30 milligram tablets. anything in a typical prescribing fashion would exceed 90 milligrams of morphine a day. the cap that the cdc has allowed sort of in routine practice. >> why these particular drugs. >> well, okay, so let's do the statistics will talk for themselves. in 2015, almost half of all open owed ov opioid overdoses were from prescription drugs. they have more than quadrupled. >> they're not talking about banning all opiates. >> absolutely. there's two really important points here. opioids will be available and, certainly, appropriate for a subset of patients who have life limiting or terminal illness, palliative care such as cancer. another thing to think about too is what feeds addiction is not just the dose. a statement from the american academy of pain medicine says okay to reduce the dose, there are other things such as depression and anxiety and other things that feed into addiction. so just reducing the dose alone is not going to eliminate the problem. >> do you get the sense this is going to be a successful effort. >> i think so. i'm going to be optimistic about this. i'm going to use this as an example. in july fda recommended all removal of a drug of an opioid, we assumed it was not tamperable, but people were able to andinjectable. i think the fda is on board with analyzing the risk of narcotic from a public health crisis point of view. i'm going to be optimistic. they have 180 days to respond to this petition. >> that's interesting. thank you for the information. history made on a high school football field in florida last night. check this out,
