impacted all of florida, from key west to here in jacksonville and now much of the south. in recovery is only just beginning. as weakened irma marches north this morning, hurricane rave advantaged florida is starting to pick up the pieces. but in some areas, it won't be easy. in jacksonville flar flooding has sexualwallowed entire sheet. the surge inlike any residents have seen before. >> it's

and south carolina, its wide bands lashing charleston. bringing intense rain and flooding, delivering a nearly 10-foot tide in certain areas with the water swamping downtown. high winds knocking out power. bringing more destruction and anguish to the southeast. as the power comes back on, officials are urging residents do not mess with powerlines, leave them alone. there are 30 rivers in major flood stage but have all crested and starting to recede. now the cleanup is going to take a long time going forward. >> really is. thank you very much. >> jacksonville's mayor is with us now on the phone. mayor cur ray, good morning. we heard in the piece that about 100 people had to be rescued is there a back doilog of calls? >> no. we our rescue efforts, jumped into that mode yesterday, and 15 neighborhoods and right now, the call volume has stopped, and people are safe and secure. >> mr. mayor, what is the flooding condition there? are these waters finally starting to recede? or are you worried about worsening situation? >> they likely won't recede for days if not a week. what happened was we had evacuated the number of zones because we knew that this was going to be a major storm, major impact. and then yesterday morning, the information came to us we weren't getting category three surge and tropical stormy, and unfortunately some people did not leave those areas. the we were able to mobilize rescue crews, secure assets through governor scott. we had the president, senator rubio and his team on the front end offering help and will be helping us in the recovery mode. but what's most important is yesterday was a rescue day. and first responders and the people of jacksonville did their jobs. >> you've got to go to rescuing to recovering. i think you're also an accountant. have you done some preliminary marry math, mr. mayor? have you tried to figure our out what this might cost the city of jacksonville? >> we don't have cost estimates but we have very financially stable budgets. firm financial grounds. we have reserves. we went through moatthew and ar able to fund the needs we have to begin rebuilding and recovering as we work with the federal government, senator rubio and the state to get our fema and state reim bustments. we can get to work now. >> as you are walking or in some cases perhaps using a boat to get through your city, can you characterize the scope and severity of this damage here? >> yeah. so when i got the information yesterday morning and went to rescue, i got into the neighborhoods that were at risk and you see these big public safety huge vehicles with huge tires that can't even get into some of these roads and then dropped the boat in, and they go in, and to see families coming out, kids coming out in these boats, with the public safety men and women bringing them in, loading them onto vehicles to get them to either shelters or other secure places, just a moving moment. humanitarian, just unbelievable the way the people, first responders and neighbors stepped up yesterday. >> and the work continues. jacksonville mayer. thank you for spending a few minutes. we appreciate it. >> well the storm may be weakening but this morning its threat is expanding to some other parts of the south. let's go back to al roker in tampa. good morning. >> good morning, guys. this city is breathing a sigh of relief since they missed a direct hit. the that's good news, but as we look at what irma is still doing, it is still pretty breathe taking. in fact, as we go to the maps, we are looking at a post tropical cyclone. it's located 65 miles southwest of atlanta, georgia. moving west -- i should say north, northwest at 10 miles per hour. it has 15 miles per hour winds with it. now, it will continue to push further to the northwest today, so by tuesday, at 7:00, look at this. the it's in western tennessee. it is bringing more heavy rain into memphis, parts of little rock and will continue to move by wednesday at 7:00 in the morning, it's still part of a system that has 25 miles per hour winds and still causing big problems, and in fact rainfall amounts out of this thing are going to be felt alt the way from mississippi and as we take our way to the east, we've got anywhere from 1 to 3 inches of rain, but the biggest event is going to be along the north carolina coast. still have feeder bands coming in from the atlantic. that's going to bring rainfall rates hourly up to 2 inches. in total they could have five to six inches of rain before it's all over. we're still going to be dealing with irma into the middle toward end of this week. guys, also have to tell you we are watching jose in the atlantic. it is a hurricane. in the next half hour we'll look at this. the it is something to watch and be concerned about. >> all right. thanks check back in with you on that and all things weather related. as mentioned at the top, the storm des nated the florida keys. only way now in is closed except to emergency personnel. officials say it could be weeks before all residents are allowed to return. name's gadi sh wards is there. he's made his way to where irma first made a landfall. good morning. >> good morning, savannah. this is kujo key. this is where really ground zero. you can see when it came through here it had so much force the winds blasted through these homes. in fact ore here this is a washing machine thrown across the street. if we can take a live look from the drone that type of devastation stretches from the bay all the way into this neighborhood. all around the keys, the remnanting of irma are apparent. waterways clogged with what was once in people's homes. ship wrecks lining the small islands. and in kujo key, survivors so many feared. >> when it finally hit us and came in it started rocking the house. >> this is video brian holley shot as irma pounded the keys. >> whole house started shaking. >> almost a full day of winds of over 100 miles an hour. >> looked like a nuclear bomb went off. >> emergency think 10,000 people stayed behind. those who didn't evacuate are just happy to be safe. >> it's okay. everyone's safe. no problems. >> even happier when we tell them their daughter wanted us to check on them. >> do you want to talk to your mom or dad first? >> this family able to re-connect with a quick call on a sat phon >> hey, sweetie. >> how are you? >> we're okay. everything is good here. right now, we don't need anything. to use your word, it's stuff is gone. but we're okay. >> reporter: right now, from is no food, no water, no electricity. first responders are in triage mode, their supplies and communication limited. thankfully reinforcements are beginning to arrive. it will be months before things are back to normal. power is out to all of the keys. part of the nearly 8 million floridians without electricity because of the storm. and even though the damage is substantial, it could have been much worse. in key west, unmistakable landmarks, like duval street, margarita ville. ernest hemingway's home, battered but still standing. just like those who survive the storm, now ready to rebuild. >> key west will be strong as ever. we're good. >> reporter: one thing that's important to note, particularly for residents who live here but can't come back into this area. if you take another live look at our drone, if you can look closely, most of these homes are still standing there. there's go be to be a lot of debris to clean up and there's damage to the roofs but the concrete structures are still standing. let me show you what i'm talking about. this is one of the homes that took a direct hit from hurricane irma. there's damage. everything ripped through the homes. it's still structurally found. hopefully solace for the residents out here. matt and savannah. back to you. >> appreciate it. irma has hit the airlines hard. in 2 days, delta canceled 1,200 flights at its atlanta hub. many of the hubs are

afternoon. and in the last few minutes, the line has started to build. irma has forced the cancellation of 14,000 flights in an area so dependant on tourism. at miami international airport, it's the passengers who are m.i.a. today. escaping the path but not the wrath of irma's eye. florida's busiest airport, like many parts of the state, is flooded. >> we did take a beating in some terminals. a lot of water damage in a lot of the gates. >> reporter: with winds whipping 100 miles per hour, roof tiles rained on abandoned gates. some flyers grounded for almost a week. we were at the airport

get to, as well. including some new developments in the north korean crisis to tell you about. the u.n. security council has approved new sanctions on the north korean regime. but those sanctions fall well short of what the trump administration had sought. nbc's national correspondent peter alexander at the white house with more on this. peter, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. nikki haley calling this round of sanctions the strongest measures ever imposed on north korea. this was a unanimous vote. but the sanctions were dialed back a bit to make sure that russia and china would sign on. broadly speaking here, these are designed to try to tighten the economic screws on the north koreans, to crack down on jun jun kim jong-un's ballistic and nuclear options. here at the white house, the white house is pushing back on a new report that claims that some of the president's lawyers, representing him in the russian investigation, wanted jared kushner, his son-in-law, to step down as senior adviser this summer. this is the "wall street journal" citing anonymous people familiar with the matter who said some of the legal team members worried about complications from the special council's russia probe. and kushner's dealing with the business people. some being looked at by federal investigators in congress. one of the president's lawyers heading up the team now, confirms to me he thought the proposal was, in his words, absurd. and that it was never to his knowledge presented to the president. the president's in-house lawyer calls the story false. he tells nbc news that jared kushner who has denied any collusion remains one of the president's most trusted, able and intelligent advisers. and speaking of entrusted aides, nbc news has confirmed that hope hicks who is one of the president's most trusted aides will now become the third communications director officially in the white house for the president. officially, she is the woman who will replacing anthony

"unbelievable." as time has passed since election day, is your view of the campaign the same? or has it evolved a little bit? >> it is still unbelievable, every day. when i went back and wrote the book and reviewed the diary notes i took and a lot of the reporting i did, i couldn't believe i experienced what i did. there were memories that i went back and i didn't think happened. and i found a clip of it on television. >> you were in the thick of it. i think it's important to remember that you didn't have a ton of experience. >> no. >> following politics or covering politics before that. do you think that impacted the way you covered the campaign? >> i think that benefits it greatly. donald trump is an outsider candidate. and everybody in washington counted him out immediately. the headlines were so severe. donald trump is running for president and it's going to be hilarious. because i didn't have preconceived notions. because i wasn't living in the bubble of washington, not so say anything negative about washington, but i felt i was able to assess his support and what he was enjoying more easily. >> there were moments in the campaign when you found himself in the news, as well, as part of the story. i want to play two clips. these are comments that donald trump made about you. i'll put them together and we'll talk about them on the other side. >> she's back there. little katie. she's back there. what a lie it was -- third-rate reporter. remember that. third-rate. >> katie tur, what happened? i saw her back there. gave her a big kiss. she was fantastic. >> okay. >> how did you deal with the very different versions of donald trump, when it came to his attitude towards you? >> it was like a rollercoaster. you had to put it aside and continue doing your job. that's why i saw so many different mood swings with him. at first, he was very charming. when he realized his charm wasn't going to change my reporter, he would go on the k atta attack. but he switched back and forth throughout the entire campaign. what i did every day, and you saw this, was go out and try to honestly report on what was happening and hold him accountable for the things he said. >> you said you kept a diary. i would love to hear the entry on the day he called you little katie tur. >> that's in the book. you can read what it felt like in that moment. it was jarring. it was scary. and one of those feelings in a i don't think i'll be able to shake. >> i was at a few of the rallies where he would target the press. and while he didn't mention me by name, but i remember the entire room turning around and looking at the pressu pool. it was -- >> we had to have armed security. i think everyone but fox and cbs. the crowd would all -- they would turn on us. and they would yell. and he riled them up to do that. and i'm not saying his supporters were violent people. the concern was what if there's one person in that crowd who might take this too seriously? who might feel like this is not just a show or part of the act and take it further. >> another campaign coming up, faster than we would like to admit. would you be part of that, as well? >> absolutely. i hope that nbc says they want me to do it. i would love it. >> an amazing account.
