a special edition of "today: the impact of irma." with matt lauer and savannah guthrie. live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> good morning, everybody. good to have you with us on a tuesday morning. it's picking up in the southeast. >> the more the reporters get into these areas, the worse it seems to get. >> the death toll is rising overnight. at least 11 people were killed by that storm in the u.s. another 29 in the caribbean. >> here's a number that's startling. nearly 8 million customers without power this morning across the south. the overwhelming majority of those, nearly 7 million in florida. that's almost a third of that state's population. >> one official is warning of a potential humanitarian crisis in the florida keys. an aircraft carrier is going there. >> and jackson is dealing with record-setting flooding. it's led to evacuations of people and rescues. the mayor says this could take days for the water to recede. we're going to talk to him live in a couple minutes. >> dylan dreyer is in jacksonville this morning. what's the situation? >> this is the st. john's river behind me. that's what overflowed its banks and flooded neighborhoods in downtown jacksonville, like never before. really incredible that irma has impacted all of florida. key west, here in jacksonville. and also to the south. and recovery is just beginning. as a weakened irma marches north this morning, hurricane-ravaged florida is starting to pick up the pieces. but in some areas, it won't be easy. in jacksonville, flash flooding has swallowed entire streets. flood levels along the st. john's river, surpassing a 153-year-old record. the surge is unlike anything residents have seen before. >> it's jaw-dropping. >> reporter: many neighborhoods, now under water. cars submerged. coast guard teams, rescuing more than 100 people monday. and the cleanup is just beginning. after violent winds uprooted trees, debris is littering neighborhoods, as crews try to clear the roadways. nearly 8 million throughout the state are still without power. >> sparking, arcing and downed power license planes should be to 911. >> reporter: farther south, highways are once again packed with bumper-to-bumper traffic. they're trying to return home, just days after evacuating. but officials are turning many away, until towns are secure. in miami, first responders are coming to grips with irma's impact. boats piling up on the score. putting down on a football field. and where irma made landfall, even more devastation. the florida keys, facing a possible humanitarian crisis in the lower islands. >> water is not working. the sewer is not working. and there's no electricity. it's very tough. >> reporter: according to early insurance estimates, irma costing $20 billion to 40 billion of damage in florida. now, it's stretching into georgia and south carolina. bringing intense rain and flooding. delivering a ten-foot tuesday in certain areas, with the high winds knocking out power. bringing more destruction and anguish to the southeast. as power is restored, officials are telling residents do not go out and move the power lines. leave them alone. there's 30 rivers in major flood stage across florida. but they are receded, which we noticed in our short time here this morning. we are going to see improvements. but cleanup now has to be done. it will be a long process. >> dylan, thank you very much. jacksonville's mayor, lenny curry, is with us on the phone. good morning. >> good morning. >> we heard in the piece from dylan that about 100 people had to be rescued. is there a backlog of calls? do you have people saying they're stranded that you haven't been able to get to yet? >> no. our rescue efforts, we jumped into that mode yesterday. and 15 neighborhoods. right now, the call volume has stopped and people are safe and secure. >> what is the flooding condition there? are the waters finally starting to recede? or are you looking at a worsening situation? >> it will recede slowly. we had evacuated the number of zones because we knew this was going to be a major storm, major impact. and then, yesterday morning, the information came to us. we were getting a category 3 hurricane surge, and tropical storm. some people did not leave a at-risk areas. we had the president, senator rubio and his team on the front end, offering help. but what's most important is yesterday was a rescue day. and first responders and the people of jacksonville did their jobs. >> you have to go from rescuing to recovering. i think you're also an accountant. so, have you done some preliminary math, mr. mayor? have you tried to figure out what this might cost the city of jacksonville? >> we don't have cost estimates but i can tell you this. we have financially stable and secure budgets. we're on firm financial ground. we have reserves. we went through matthew. and we are able to fund the needs that we have to begin rebuilding and recovering, as we work with the federal government, senator rubio, the president and the state, the governor and state of florida, to get our fema reimbursements. we can get to work now. we're in good order. >> as you're walking or in some cases using a boat to get through your city, can you characterize the scope and the severity, the damage here? >> when i got the information yesterday morning and pivoted to rescue, i got in the neighborhoods at risk, you see the huge vehicles with huge tires that can't get into some of the roads. and they drop the boat in. and they go. the and to see families coming out, kids coming out in these boats. the public safety men and women, loading people only to vehicles to get to shelters or other secure places, a moving moment. humanitarian, unbelievable the way first responders and neighbors stepped up yesterday to save everybody's lives. >> lenny curry, thanks for spending a few minutes with us this morning, sir. we appreciate it. >> thank you. the storm may be weakening. but its threat is expanding to other parts of the south. let's go to al roker in tampa this morning. >> reporter: good morning, guys. this city is breathing a sigh of relief since they missed a direct hit. that's good news. when we look at what irma is still doing, it's breathtaking. as we go to the maps and show you, we are looking at a po posttropical cyclone. it's moving west -- i should say north-northwest at 10 miles per hour. it has 15-mile-per-hour winds with it. it will push to the northwest today. by tuesday at 7:00, look at this, it's in western tennessee, bringing 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-mile-per-hour winds and causing big problems. and in fact, rainfall amounts out of this thing are going to be felt all the way from mississippi. as we make our way to the east, we have one to three inches of rain. but the biggest event is going to be along the north carolina coast. southeastern north carolina will still have feeder bands coming in from the atlantic. that will bring rainfall rates, pow hourly, up to two inches. and in total, could have five or six inches of rain before it's all over. we'll be dealing with irma, until the middle or the end of this week. we're watching, out in the atlantic, jose. it is a hurricane. and in the next half hour, we'll look at this. it is something we have to watch and be concerned about. >> all right, al. we'll check back in with you on that and all things weather-related. as mentioned at the top, the storm decimated the florida keys. the only way in now is closed except to emergency personnel. and officials say it could be weeks until residents are allowed to return. gadi schwartz is there. he is where irma made landfall. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. this is where irma made landfall. it had so much force. the winds blasted through these homes. over here this, is a washing machine that was thrown across the street. if we can take a live look from the drone, you can see that type of devastation stretches from the bay all the way into this neighborhood. all around the keys, the remnants of irma are apparent. waterway s clogged with what w once in people's homes. sh sh shipwrecks line the islands here. >> when it hit us and it came in, it started rocking the house. >> this is the video that brian shot as irma pounded the keys. >> felt like an earthquake. >> reporter: almost a full day of winds of over 100 miles per hour. emergency crews think 10,000 people stays behind to face irma. those who didn't evacuate are just happy to be safe. >> it's okay. everybody's safe. everybody's safe. >> no problems. >> reporter: and happier when we tell them their daughter wanted us to check on them. you want to talk to your mom or dad first? this family able to connect with a quick call on a sat phone. >> we're okay. everything is good here. right now we don't need anything. >> to use your word, the stuff is gone. but we're okay. >> reporter: right now, from is no food, no water, no electricity. first responders are in triage mode, the 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, ernest hemingway's home, battered but still standing. >> key west will be strong as ever. we're good. >> reporter: one thing that's important to note, particularly for residents here, if we take another live look from our drone, if you look closely, there's a lot to clean up here. those homes may have roof damage. most of the homes are concrete and 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. but the concrete itself, the concrete structure is standing. and for the last two days, we've been touring up and down the florida keys. 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 others are shut down but working hard to get open. gabe gutierrez is at miami international airport. gabe, good morning to you. >> reporter: flights here at m.i.a. are set to resume this 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 dependent on tourism. the passengers 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. >> 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 flyie flyers grounded for . hundreds of them were bussed to shelters. these are folks that were trying to get out of the country. one man was trying to get to argentina. his flight was canceled. and he has no place to go. we caught up with him again monday, helping roll out mattresses for fellow passengers. >> american canceled our flight. from that moment anwards, we are struck. >> reporter: some stranded so long, they've made friends. ft. lauderdale's airport is open this morning, after draining this water from the runway. 14,000 flights in florida and the caribbean have been canceled since the start of the storm. as irma churns forth, one person in the skufecurity line in atla. other passengers are seeing red. >> i'm so annoyed right now. >> reporter: delta dispatchers scrambled to reposition its planes and personnel. but not in time for this group of students to get to india. >> we have a church that's taking all 45 of us in. >> reporter: and flights over the next several days that had the flights canceled over the last few days. some airlines have capped flights at $99 for those returning to florida. but it will be a while before things get back to normal here. >> thank you, very much. there's other news to get to, as well. including 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 short of what the trump administration had sought. peter alexander is 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 to make sure russia and china would sign on. these are designed to try to tighten the economic screws on the north koreans, to crack down on kim jong-un's efforts to build up his nuclear and ballistic missile program. 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 a piece that says some of the legal team is worried about the special counsel's probe. 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 it was never in his knowledge presented to the president. the president's in-house lawyer calls the story false. jared kushner, who has denied 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 will become the third communications director in this white house for the president. officially, she is the woman who will replacing anthony scaramucci in that roll. tomorrow morning, hillary clinton will join us live in studio 1a. this is her first live interview and morning show appearance since the election. there's a lot to

"kingsman: the olden circle," next friday. coming up, katie's front-row seat to the presidential election. election. first, this is "today" on nbc. politicians playing gameston while south jersey gets short changed? then vote fran grenier. think it's time we had a regular guy, not a lifelong politician? that's fran grenier. looking for a fighter to take on the tax hikes and job killing regulations? elect fran grenier. want a leader who'll actually stand up for south jersey schools and communities? if you answered yes to any of these questions, there's only one way: fran grenier. we're back, now, 8:40. when katie was asked to move from london to new york, to cover a reality tv show star's run. she didn't think she would be here. she chronicles the campaign in her book, "unbelievable." katie, good morning. it's good to see you. the title says it all. "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.
