Jamaica, also battered by flash floods and now eastern cuba is bracing for impact. Hardest hit, haitis are early reports of devastation, in a region where many people live in shacks of wood. But villages and communications are cut off after a key bridge washed away. Around portauprince, raging rivers and the threat of mudslides. Authorities tried to evacuate people from the most vulnerable areas but many refused to leave. Now as it churns north, its roughly the size of arizona.

All the models are coming into agreement, the southeast needs to prepare now. Dylan dryer, thank you. Lets turn now to president ial politics and a critical night with just 35 days until the election. The vp candidates face only debate, and maybe not a moment too soon for donald trump as the latest nbc news, survey monkey online tracking poll shows trump down six points to Hillary Clinton nationally. Trump also losing ground in some swing state polls. So as their lesser known running mates go head to head tonight, can something shake up the race . Reporter tonight, the supporting characters turn into to the biggest night in their political careers. Now its mike pence with the tougher role, cleaning up after one of his running mates worst week yet. Its up to mike pence to turn the ticket around. Reporter pence will have to defend donald trump on issues where they have disagreed, trade, the iraq war and releasing their tax returns. Pence has, not trump. Pence may also face fire on his own record in indiana, not an especially popular governor th n then reversal of a controversial religious liberties law. After a memorably awkward start, the two talk daily. Trump on the trail, planning to live tweet tonights showdown. I want to send our best wishs to our greatest governor mike pence. Reporter tim kaine, meanwhile, will play to a hometown virginia roots. His fatherinlaw a former governor too. Kaines challenges, make clinton seem more trustworthy, combat attacks his ticket is too much of the status quo, and push pence off his game, without looking too mean. This is something that you should expect senator kaine to push him on. Is he going to defend all of the offensive things that donald trump has said . Reporter its their first and only faceoff. Both with experience in congress, both have sons who serve in the marines, both relative unknowns. Even now, far from marquee names. Theyre running for Vice President. I dont know who they are. This is i know it right on the tip of my tongue. Pence and kaine will be seated around this table tonight. A more intimate dynamic for two men who have never met until now. One will be just a heart beat away from the presidency, Hillary Clinton, the second oldest. Lester . And while their running mates duke it out on that stage, clinton and trump launched more attacks on the campaign trail. Clinton continuing to hammer away at trumps alleged treatment of women. While remarks from her own husband, the former president , have put her in an awkward position. Reporter tonight donald trump in arizona. I made my money as a very successful private business person. Her money as the corrupt public official. Reporter and Hillary Clinton in pennsylvania today, trying to remind suburban republican women about the past week. In this moment, with a 15yearold girl. You see with my own eyes the damage donald trump does, when he talks about women and how they look. You are more than the way you look. You should be healthy, you should take care of yourself. But were not all going to end up being miss universe. I hate to tell you. Reporter clintons surrogates out in force, including complaining about his debate microphone. When she gets knocked down, she doesnt complain. She doesnt cry foul. Reporter but clintons husband so you have this crazy system where all of a sudden 25 Million People have health care and then the people are out there busting it, sometimes 60 hours a week, wind up with their premiums doubled and their coverage cut in half. Can you imagine what he went through after making that statement . R clinton and the Campaign Walking that back today. President obama has talked about that, that obamacare needs to be improved. It doesnt need to be sacked and scrapped. Reporter awkward moments on the trail for republicans too. Like New Hampshire senator kelly ayotte, asked if she would point to trump as a good role model for children. And i believe hes he can serve as president , so absolutely i would do that. Reporter gary johnson defending his Foreign Policy flub. Be commander in chief. The fact that somebody can dot the is and cross the ts on a foreign leader or reporter as clintons lead widens, shes less worried about gary johnson taking away votes. Lester . Andrea mitchell, thank you. Our primetime coverage of the Vice President ial debate begins at 9 00 eastern time here on nbc. Theres a new report out tonight that says the beleaguered intt searched every incoming email, snooping through hundreds of millions of its own customers messages looking for a specific term at the request of the u. S. Government. The revelation again igniting concern over privacy and our justice correspondent Pete Williams has late details on this. Reporter yahoo, one of the Worlds Largest providers of email services, scanned hundreds of millions of incoming messages looking for a specific term last year, according to the yahoo says its a law abiding company and complies with the laws of the united states. The decision to obey, not fight a court order was made by the ceo, the former google executive running yahoo since 2012. Well, the news is troubling. This is precisely the type of mass surveillance that gave rise to so many objections here in the united states. And of course also in europe. Reporter documents leaked three years ago by Edward Snowden di agency tapped into email traffic to search for specific terms connected to terrorism. But reuters says yahoo itself was doing the searching itself last year in realtime, looking for an item specified by the government. The company would have to do that search, experts say, after yahoo began encrypting traffic last year, making it impossible for the government to read. The idea that yahoo scans email isnt and stores content from incoming and outgoing email. U. S. Intelligence agencies arent commenting tonight on whats apparently a classified program. In the past theyve said theyll use all lawful means to prevent terrorism. There were terrifying moments today when an explosion leveled a pair of homes in a new jersey neighborhood.

All of a sudden we heard the explosion and it was a surprise. It was such a big explosion at a house.

In 2010, a natural gas explosion leveled the san bruno, california, neighborhood, killing eight people. Eight people died when an explosion brought down two apartment buildings in east harlem, new york, two years ago.
