virtually every corner of our country. just minutes before air, numerous tornado warnings for parts of florida and alabama, and a confirmed tornado near panama city. residents urged to take cover this morning. ginger tracking the possible twister, flood warnings and blizzard conditions. first alex perez starts us off in chicago. good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning, robin. here in chicago, it is a rain, snow, cold mix that's making for a messy morning commute. mother nature is creating some major problems across the country. overnight snow crippling roads in western illinois. more than a foot of snow expected to be dumped on the state by the storm. in new mexico, at least one person killed after this multivehicle crash on i-40. massive trucks jutting into each other. the line of wrecks seemingly endless. several major highways throughout the region forced to shutdown amid dangerous driving

conditions. i-70 in kansas barely visible. snow blanketing areas across the country, from nebraska to oklahoma. >> we got snow blowing sideways. >> reporter: to texas. fierce winds whipping the panhandle with gusts up to 68 miles per hour in some areas. the powerful storms now sweeping east to north carolina and new jersey, declaring a state of emergency. >> there's a lot of rain, high winds and flooding can cause not just a lot of damage, but put lives at risk. >> reporter: even as this storm moves, it is expected to cause some problems along the way. several states warning drivers to stay off the roads if possible. michael? >> all right, alex. thank you for that. now ginger is here with the track and timing of the two major storms. good morning, ginger. >> reporter: that one storm is a power house waking us up with tornados throughout the night. that meant conditions were ripe. in the last couple hours,

we've seen warnings about debris flying in parts of the panhandle in florida and southern alabama. it doesn't stop there. it will keep moving east today. if you're there from jacksonville throughout southeastern georgia, all the way through most of south carolina and then southeastern north carolina today's your day to be prepared, have a place that you will shelter because there's a possibility of strong tornados. this system already showed us what it can do. it is one of two. we've got blizzard warnings in the cascades around seattle, portland. then you've got the wind alerts. we're talking about widespread wind 40 to 60 miles per hour, tennessee, to maine to florida. it's going to come with heavy rain, robin. flood watches are up in a lot of rivers that flooded just a couple weeks ago in new jersey. have the possibility of doing it again. gusts up to 70 overnight tonight. >> nasty out there. thank you. new developments in the investigation into the alaska airlines plane after part of it fell off midflight. now both alaska and united airlines report finding loose

parts on some of their boeing 737 max 9 planes. the chair of the ntsb joins us live in just a moment. but first our transportation correspondent gio benitez is in portland, oregon. good morning, gio. >> reporter: hey, robin. good morning. yeah, the ntsb now knows the top fitting of the door plug was fractured so the door moved up and then out. so the big question right now is, were the bolts to hold it there ever installed, or did they break? of course, there's that new concern, what about the other planes with loose bolts? this morning the growing fallout from that alaska airlines flight losing its door plug mid air. the company saying it found some loose hardware during its initial inspection of 73 max 9 fleet. why united airlines which has 79 max 9's said it found loose bolts on some of its door plugs which are used to cover and seal optional emergency exits. the airline won't say how many planes are affected but that they appear to relate to

installation issues in the door plug and need additional tightening. >> the fact that loose bolts have been found in a similar aircraft indicates possibly this is an endemic problem that was created in manufacturing. >> reporter: this after the missing door plug from alaska's max 9 was finally found. the ntsb searching for four bolts that should have stopped the door plug from flying off the plane at 16,000 feet. >> what everybody's lookg for in portland was in my back yard. i was the first one to see it. >> reporter: landing in the back yard of portland teacher bob suer. >> friend of mine called me and said, you shou probably check your back yard. once i finished my work for the day i came out to look for it and i found it. my heart started beating a little faster so i guess i was excited. i went back in the house and i first called the ntsb. we are very careful not to touch anything during that time. i figured ntsb would want to see it in the condition that it had fallen in. >> reporter: the images of the door plug and the plane triggering new questions.

>> there is more than likely a problem here with the latching mechanism or the way it was installed. >> reporter: attention now turning to the company that manufactured the fuselage of boeing 737 max 9aero systems. issues with its fuselages led to delays of boeing max planes last year. the company saying in a statement, spirit is a committed partner with boeing on the 737 program and we continue to work together with them on this matter. kelly bartlett describing the chaos when that door plug flew off the alaska plane. >> somebody had jumped over me to sit down in that empty seat. i just thought, where did you come from? i didn't know what was going on. >> reporter: the plug leaving a gaping hole in the 26th row. the two seats closest to it just happened to be empty. the third seat on the aisle occupied by a teen, whose shirt flew off. bartlett said he ran up to her row after the incident. >> the kid who was sitting in that row, his seat belt saved his life. that's why he didn't have a shirt on, the suction had just torn it off.

>> reporter: hundreds of flights now cancelled this week as those max 9's are inspected. there are more than 170 around the world. a key question right now, were those planes delivered to the airlines with loose bolts or did those bolts become loose over time? it turns out the airline would have only found it during heavy maintenance every two to three years. george? >> oh my. thanks so much. let's talk with the chair of the ntsb jennifer homendy. thank you for joining us this morning. lot of nervous flyers out there. is the boeing max plane safe? >> well, right now we are focused on this particular aircraft so we can determine what happened, why it happened and to prevent it from happening again. however, at some point we may need to go broader. but right now we have to figure out how this occurred with this aircraft. >> what more do you know? i guess your investigators aren't even sure there were bolts on the door? >> welsh right now what we do know, through examination, is

that the fittings on the top of the plug fractured, allowing the plug door to move upward and outward. >> but why were they loose? do you know anything more about why they were loose? >> well, in this situation, the fittings at the top of the door plug fractured. we don't know if the bolts were loose. we don't know if bolts were in there fractured or possibly the bolts weren't there at all. >> how much do we know -- >> we have to determine that back in our laboratory. >> right. okay. how much do we know about the broader situation? we do know united has reported these loose bolts as well. >> that's right. we have heard reports from united, alaska and boeing about loose bolts. we are aware of those. those are being reported to the federal aviation administration,

who's in charge of the inspections. and the mandates for the repair. right now our focus is on this aircraft. >> so we don't know yet, as gio raised in his tag, whether the planes were delivered with loose bolts or whether that developed over time? >> that's right. we don't know that. that will be part of the investigation. >> are we at the point now where you're going to order all of these planes are inspected for loose bolts? >> that is within the purview of the regulator which in this case is the federal aviation administration. the ntsb's entire mission is to investigate and issue safety recommendations, sometimes urgent safety recommendations. in this case, it's faa that is responsible for any grounding of the fleet, not the ntsb.

>> would you feel safe flying on a boeing max plane right now? >> i would feel safe flying right now. our aviation system is the safest in the world. we are the global standard, global gold standard for safety. but when these events occur, significant events occur, we have to figure out what happened here. because we want to prevent it from happening again. >> so you feel safe even on a boeing max plane now? >> absolutely. i feel safe flying. your biggest danger every day during your commute or travel to the airport is getting in your vehicle. 43,000 people are dying on our nation's roads annually. millions more are injured. that is the riskiest part of your commute. >> miss homendy, thank you very much for your time this morning. >> thank you for having me. >> robin?

>> good of the chair to join us live this morning. now to the race for the white house. just six days to go until the first votes of the campaign in the iowa caucuses. republican candidates barnstorming the state and dealing with the weather, as president biden criticized the gop front runner, donald trump. rachel scott is on the scene and you can tell it's a snowy situation there in iowa. good morning to you, rachel. >> reporter: robin, this brutal winter blast really could not have come at a worse time for these republican candidates. we're in the final stretch. this is typically when they would be blitzing the state, looking for every last vote. with all of the heavy snow up ending several campaign events. this morning the brutal cold and heavy snow disrupting the 2024 campaign, with the iowa caucuses now just six days away. >> i think we have the type of supporters who expect that and will brave the elements. >> reporter: the trump campaign scrapping two events and in sioux city nikki haley forced to cancel her stop. volunteers trekking through the

snow to collect campaign signs. there are clear signs haley is picking up momentum, but polls show she's pulling into a distant second place behind trump. >> i think that her position aligns with us in iowa. i think she can win. >> reporter: haley fending off attacks from florida governor ron desantis. >> she's had a lot of problems just conducting herself on a daily basis without sticking her foot in her mouth. >> desantis is desperate. he's lying because he's losing. the problem is, if you have to lie to win, you don't deserve to win. >> reporter: she's also become a top target of trump, running ads calling her soft on immigration. >> just because president trump says something doesn't make it true. i agree with a lot of his policies, but, rightly or wrongly, chaos follows him. >> reporter: with trump still leading by double digits in the primary, president biden is focusing on a potential rematch. >> losers are taught to concede when they lose. he's a loser.

>> reporter: speaking at the historic mother emanual ame church in charleston where a white supremacist killed people in 2019. >> white supremacy. poisoning throughout our history. it's ripped this nation apart. >> reporter: there are new signs that nikki haley is gaining even more momentum. according to the latest cnn/university of new hampshire poll she's up 12 points in that state, just seven points behind donald trump. here in iowa, residents are bracing for even more heavy snow. george? >> thanks. the latest on donald trump's legal predicament facing 91 charges. he's expected in federal court today in washington. chief justice correspondent pierre thomas is there. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: george, good morning. this hearing which comes amidst tight security before a three judge appellate court is critical to the election interference case because it will likely answer a fundamental question. trump's attorneys are arguing he has complete immunity from

criminal prosecution because his actions surrounding january 6th were taken while he was president of the united states. but special counsel jack smith is claiming trump's actions were not part of his official duties as president but personal in nature, designed to illegally keep him in office even though he lost. trump has decided to witness the hearing in person and has clearly made his prosecution part of his campaign. he portrays himself as being unfairly targeted and says the many cases against him amount to election interference, designed to hurt his campaign. time is the issue. will this all play out before the november election? michael? >> thank you so much for that. now to the latest on secretary of defense lloyd austin. we're learning new details about how he was rushed to an icu, as top officials were left in the dark. our chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz has the story. >> reporter: this morning, the growing fallout facing top pentagon officials as stunning new details shed light on the

failure to disclose defense secretary lloyd austin's hospitalization to the american people, lawmakers, even the president. after secretly under going a still unknown elective surgery in late december, austin was released the next day. but by january 1st he was in severe pain and rushed to the intensive care unit at walter reed by ambulance. austin's chief of staff, a senior aide, and two pentagon press secretaries all made aware of his hospitalization the next day but failing to tell the white house or congress. by that afternoon, due to the seriousness of the secretary's condition, some of his authorities were temporarily transferred to his deputy, kathleen hicks, who was vacationing in puerto rico. but hicks was kept in the dark about austin's hospitalization until thursday, and it took her almost another full day to alert lawmakers. only then did the pentagon share the news with the public after

the press secretary said nothing all week. >> good afternoon, everyone. >> reporter: even during a lengthy press briefing. the white house now looking into the delay. >> there's an expectation that when a cabinet official becomes hospitalized that there's -- that will be notified up the campaign of command. >> reporter: in addition to the review, austin's chief of staff asking for immediate changes to ensure the white house and other leaders are notified any time the secretary transfers authority. the chief of staff said she had the flu last week although there is a deputy and others to whom she could have delegated that assignment. guys? >> okay, martha. thank you very much. coming up, newly released body camera footage of workers trying to free a man trapped in his truck for a week. we'll tell you how he's doing now. plus a defendant who flew over the bench, attacking a las vegas judge, back in front of that same judge. and michigan capping their

we're back with our gma cover story. a new study finds that screen time is associated with sensory differences for kids under 2 years of age. dr. jen is here to tell us all about it. what do we need to know? >> this is a study published in gama pediatrics. they were looking to answer the question, is there is a link and if so, what kind and how much, between early screen times? babies up to 2 or 3 years of age, and then sensory issues amongst toddlers later in life. if you look at their findings, this study found if they had early screen time at around 12 months, they had twice the odds of sensory issues later in toddlerhood. after 18 months, each additional hour of screen time increased those odds by 23% of having sensory issues.

there are a lot of caveats here. you have heard me say it before. association and observation does not prove cause and effect. but this is really the first step to kind of take a temperature of the landscape. >> what kind of sensory differences were the researchers looking for? and what are the implications? >> if you look at sensory issue, right, what does that have to do with our five senses? this is how children process stim lie that come, visually or things they hear or touch. doesn't necessarily mean worse or a deficit or problem. but it has been linked with children who have other types of disabilities. so again, they're trying to connect a lot of dots here. they did find there were some issues amongst how children process things that they hear, things they see, certain types of touch. >> what are the current guidelines around screen time? >> the american academy of pediatrics, robin, is crystal clear on this. this particular study, which

ended in 2014, only looked at dvd's and tv. it didn't look at mobile phones. according to pediatricians, 0-18 months of age, 0 screen time. except if you are doing a live video chat. 18-24 months they recommend shared use, preferably with an adult of high quality programming. then 2 years or above, one hour or less a day of high quality programming. we have to remember, quality matters. it's not just about the quantity. it's what type of programming they're using. some of it can be beneficial. it's not all or none. it's a matter of the content and what they're doing and who they're doing it with. >> i know you're going to talk more about it on gma3. congratulations on the latest issue of your magazine. >> thank you, my friend. >> looks good. >> thank you, my friend. maybe you guys will contribute. >> see there.

helping you have your best year yet. this morning it's all about financial decluttering. eva pilgrim is back with how to make easy cash along the way. is that true? good morning again. >> yes, robin. we're going to give you tips. money is a top stressor. it's no surprise that it's top of the list of many people's new year's resolutions. how do you make headway with everything these days seeming to cost more? we called in the experts who say it is possible to save more in 2024. let's talk about how you can get rich this year. >> reporter: a new year calls for new goals. for many, the top of that list is managing your money. >> hi, my name is nicole. i am hoping to declutter my finances in 2024. switching from college, i had a lot of low income paying jobs so i had to rely on a lot of credit cards. >> reporter: nicole is lot alone. >> can we talk about debt? >> reporter: we turned to three of the top

finance experts for tips on how to declutter your finances. first entrepreneur and finance expert mrs. dow jones. >> my tip is take inventory on the items you want to resell. fitness equipment, electronics, furniture and baby gear. all four of those categories we see having major impact on the resale market. if you can't think of a time in the last year that you have worn or used an item, it's time to resell it. you can look to make 50% back of what you initially spent depending on how in demand the item is that you're reselling. >> reporter: next vivian 2 better known by her followers as your rich bff. >> we're gonna want to make sure we're researching the marketplace where we plan on selling that stuff. a few things to watch out for are how much the platform charges in fees, who is paying the shipping, seller or buyer, and how depenable the platform might be to use.

be mindful of the fee and present your items in the best light could earn you an additional $10 to $50 an item. >> reporter: finally tory dunlap. >> everything is negotiable including your phone bill, a cable bill, your car insurance even your credit card interest rate is negotiable. when it comes to negotiating, a couple key things. one, the other person on the other side of the line is the real person. be polite, considerate. second thing is to express your loyalty any time you can. >> reporter: another pro tip, cancel subscriptions such as streaming or gaming services. >> the first time i tried negotiating my bill i saved $1200 in the first year. >> reporter: for nicole, some of these tips have already paid off. >> i looked through my items and i have a printer and a lap top that are in very good condition that i'm hoping to sell. i have already reduced my phone bill by adding in a veteran discount. i'm hopeful that will reduce the amount i'm owing in 2024.

>> so when it comes to saving, you either have to make more or cut costs. a good place to look for possible extra income, your own closet. how do you know what to sell? for starters, figure out what you're wearing. put a marker in your closet. something as simple as a hanger with a hair tie on it. every time you wear something, place it to the right of that hanger. by the end of the year, you will see what you haven't worn and can think about selling those items. robin, i brought a hanger with me so you could see. this costs you no money. >> oh my gosh, that's so true. we tend to wear the same thing over and over again. other things are just sitting there in our closet. thank you. now for the financial decluttering, michael? >> we're gonna tell you about jobs, robin. attention job seekers. let's look at this year's job market with the u.s. news and world report 2024 best jobs list. joining us is their loan expert erika giovanetti. erika, thank you for joining us.

tell us how you came up with this year's report and which jobs made the cut. >> for our best job rankings, they are intended to help job seekers at every level achieve their career goals, whether you are a college student trying to decide between a degree, or whether you're just trying to go for a new career and make a switch. whatever stage you're at in your career, there are a few things universally desired out of a job. we use these factors to rank jobs based on data from the bureau of labor statistics. we looked at five main categories, including future growth, wage potential, employment, job safety and stability and work/life balance. you're going to want to find something that has a little bit of everything in a foundation that you can kind of, you know, grow and make your own and use that as a way to cater your career desires for what you want. >> you have a list of jobs that,

if you don't have a degree, jobs without a degree. can you tell us what jobs made the list in that realm? >> we have several lists. we have our highest paying jobs without a degree and our best overall without a degree. our rankings kind of prove that you don't need to have a four year bachelor's degree in order to make a healthy living an earn a salary. out of the top ten we have for highest paying, it's not surprising to see a lot of the trades on there. we have electricians, steel worker. but some of them were a little more surprising to me. we have flight attendant was number three. >> really? >> yeah. that's a solid job, if you want to enter a job with a low barrier to entry, you can go straight out of high school and learn on the job with training. number one was executive assistant. these are the right hand to the company leaders. although they do make the most money out of any of the jobs

that we ranked, they didn't perform as well for upward mobility which is why you'll want to look at the overall best job, not just which ones pay the most, but the ones that allow you to grow in your position. >> which is very important. someone looking for a new career path or just for a new job, what do you suggest they focus on? >> so, you know, the job search is always going to be so uniquely special from one person to the next. there's still some advice that everybody can take to heart. if you're i guess trying to find what your calling is, or at least have a little general direction for a field, start with your talents and what you're good at. you might find if you like doing something, you might be able to get paid to do it. if you are looking to make a switch later in your career life, you'll want to ask and find your why and take stock.

♪ ♪ >> we're back now with an adventure of a life time up north. ginger had the opportunity to chase the northern lights. it sounds like it was so amazing. >> i have chased so many storms and this one has evaded me until now. i expected it to be beautiful. i did not realize how powerful they would be, even spiritually. destination canada gave us a view of the aurora borealis that only one can dream of but more importantly introduced us to the rich indigenous culture and the endless adventure canada has to offer. deep in the splendor of the great white north, gma got a chance to explore the beauty of a canadian winter wonderland in the northwest territory's capital. woo! the main mission, to witness the stunning aurora borealis, the northern lights, on almost everyone's bucket list.

one of the few atmospheric phenomenons i still have on mine. hello. >> ginger, welcome. >> who better to lead the way than aurora hunter joe bailey. >> they're coming from the east. we're headed east. up on your left, look at that. oh my god. >> as i climb out into the frozen darkness, the aurora comes alive. everywhere you look is aurora. a brilliant painted sky. it is absolute atmospheric alchemy. our sponsor, destination canada, said that visitors can find some of the best viewing spots in the world, thanks to canada's northern latitude and clear night skies in the heart of winter. this incredible phenomenon is created by powerful eruptions of energy from the sun launching toward earth on solar winds up to 45 million miles per hour. when that energy collides with that protective magnetic sphere particles are drawn to the north and south pole. those particles then interact with gases in the thermal sphere

so right in our atmosphere, and they light up around something known as the aurora oval. that way people can see them from the ground. we are right under the aurora oval. >> oh my god, look at that. >> joe has been hunting the aurora for 17 years as a tour guide, combining his passion for science with his indigenous upbringing. >> the sky is strange. look at that. >> definitely stirring tonight. in the short hours of daylight there's also plenty to do. this is a great way to see a lot super fast. snow mobiling on a giant frozen lake. kick sledding with the help of these spicy sled dogs. hiking to see a frozen water fall guarded by talkative ravens. it's easy to work up an appetite. they deliver delicious local fish caught daily. perfect fuel for those cold nights staring at the sky.

photographer bill braeden literally wrote the book on the aurora. he's seen an photographed thousands over the years. >> digital technology is able to gather all that light, the stuff our eyes can't see. it drinks all this light in, stores it up and delivers it. guests will often say, i didn't see the purple or the red, my camera didn't. this is cool. here we go. hold still. i like that. give me some attitude. >> nailed it. another warmer way to view the aurora? from inside the north of 60 skydome. our host weres so generous, sharing parts of their culture with us. like this traditional hand game. i love this. like you're taunting each other. >> talking smack. >> indigenous people love to celebrate. that's where you get the drums. >> and to experience the lights with other travellers, visit the aurora village, rows of heated

tee pees surrounded by snow cappeded trees. >> the way we see the aurora are spirits, our ancestors' spirits dancing in the sky. they're enjoying themselves. they're letting you know they're happy, altogether. >> that was certainly the case on the night we were blessed with this stunning display. even when you're alone, it's never lonely under the aurora. a shooting star. and a parting gift from the dancing spirits. i can't tell you how other worldly it felt. i do have some good news for anyone that's inspired and looking to have your own aurora experience. the solar maximum that brings us the best aurora displays, those are 11 year cycles. noah said we are now entering the peak, which means you've got an even better shot of seeing the gorgeous northern lights in canada throughout 2024. >> it looked like an incredible trip. if you had to pick, what was your favorite part? >> the aurora, obviously, but a

that's why we went there. but i was so surprised with getting to know the culture, the the demi tribe, and learning about their history and seeing how connected they are to the land. the sustainability is next level. i just really enjoyed meeting the people. i didn't expect that. you think, there's not as many people up there. 20,000 people to meet. i really enjoyed it. >> how was the dog sled? >> oh my goodness. at first, quite unsteady. [ laughter ] we didn't show the part where we got to the end where i was mastering it. >> looked like you were going pretty fast. >> yeah. when the dogs take off, they're so hyped and so ready to do it that you're like, um, i don't have full control here. but they were wonderful and so adorable. great job. tkpwhr thank you. >> i hope you all get to see it one day. >> i would love to. primetime, as you said. >> let's get a check closer to home.
