you got to play to win. we have a lot of other news coming up including new mexico state police have identified the suspect wanted for killing a state trooper saying the officer stopped to help the suspect when he was shot. those details ahead. >> gio: plus, as the nation's biggest realtor's group settles lawsuits over brokers' commissions, what it could mean for you the next time you buy or sell a home. >> whit: but we do begin here with the latest round of weather. powerful storms breaking out in the gulf coast, a day after a deadly string of 15 tornadoes in the heartland. alex presha is in lakeview, ohio, with more. they've been hammered. >> reporter: hey, whit. you walk this neighborhood and you get a sense of how powerful this storm was. it ripped the front of this house completely off. the owner says his kids usually sleep upstairs. thankfully they weren't hole at the time, but this morning as they are cleaning up, so many here feel lucky, feel fortunate

because they know things could have been much, much worse. >> oh no. >> reporter: communities digging out. stretching from texas to indiana. a deadly outbreak blamed for killing at least three people and leaving entire neighborhoods in ruin. the hardest hit, ohio. this is the aftermath in logan county from an ef-3 tornado with winds of at least 136 miles per hour. three dying in the storm. at least 20 sent to the hospital. you look at what's left on the ground from this home, and it's a pile of splinters. around the corner, i mean, this is just utter destruction. >> the scene of the crime, i guess. >> reporter: in lakeview, ohio, blaine showed us how he survived the storm by crawling into his bathtub and praying. today, the front of his home completely gone. he's thankful his wife and two kids weren't home at the time. >> it's just unreal. it's unreal. >> but you still have your family. >> yeah, my family is everything important to me still here.

thursday was a devastating day for so many folks. my heart goes out to the families that have been impacted by this. you can see 163 damaging wind reports. they had other elements like hail. 234 hail reports, also the 15 tornados that we saw, all throughout the midwest into the ohio valley. here is the focus now shifting today to cleanup. the good news is they are in for dry conditions today, as alex said. that system has moved on and out. breezy conditions this weekend. but we do have a threat for severe weather today, and that's in the state of texas. 1:00 p.m. dallas picking up on robust storms and start to see that elevated threat where we could see scattered tornadoes, damaging winds and threat for flash flooding in san antonio, uvalde. then through today and into tomorrow we are anticipating very heavy rainfall, especially along the louisiana coastline. that's a look at the forecast, janai. back to you. >> janai: all right. that's that spring weather we'll be starting to see more of. somara, thank you. in the meantime, spring

break already kicking into full swing this year. some officials in some florida cities are hoping for calm especially after a shocking scene on a beach in central florida involving a teen with a gun. abc's andrew dymburt joins us now live from miami beach. good morning, andrew. >> reporter: good morning, janai. that terrifying scene playing out right in front of police, a teenager pulling out a gun on a crowded beach. now, that incident happened a few hours away from here, but it's the exact kind of thing miami beach officials are hoping to avoid this season. this morning -- >> hey, drop the [ bleep ] gun! drop the [ bleep ] gun. >> reporter: -- a terrifying spring break standoff. dramatic police body camera footage from new smyrna beach just outside of daytona beach capturing the moment officers come face-to-face with a gunman said to be 16 years old. >> got a fight over there. >> reporter: it started with a brawl on the beach. authorities say the teenager suddenly pulled out a firearm. a crowd of frightened spring

breakers seen running for safety and nearby officers confronting the teen within seconds before he throws it in a backpack into the water and surrenders according to authorities. the volusia county sheriff's office saying they retrieved bags of marijuana and that gun from the water. meanwhile, about four hours south in miami beach, even more restrictions going into effect for what was once a spring break capital. >> it's pretty chill, quiet, you know, nobody doing too much rowdy stuff. >> reporter: considered historically as a, quote, weekend of bloodshed by miami beach commissioner david suarez, city officials implementing a midnight curfew emergency order. >> messaging is clear. spring break is over. >> reporter: the curfew going into place every night between now and march 18th. only locals will be allowed in and out. all businesses must close at 11:59 on the dot with an exception for restaurant and food delivery service, emergencies, and first responders, and from 6:00 p.m.

to 11:59 p.m., drinking will only be allowed in and around establishments, not on the beaches or streets. all of the traditional hot spots the area commonly referred to as south beach falls under the restriction. a proactive measure according to miami city beach officials to curb the chaos. as for that teenager who pulled that gun in new smyrna beach, he's being charged as an adult. gio? >> gio: all right. andrew, thank you for your reporting in miami. new mexico state police identified the suspect wanted for killing a state trooper friday morning. authorities say they are looking for 32-year-old jaremy smith from south carolina. they warn anyone who comes into contact with him, he is considered armed and dangerous and should not be approached. they say smith allegedly shot officer justin hare when he stopped to help him with a flat tire on interstate 40. >> whit: now to the major developments in former president donald trump's legal battles. a shake-up in the prosecution in the georgia interference case and a delay in the new york hush money trial. abc's senior investigative correspondent aaron katersky is here now to break it all down. aaron, good morning.

>> good morning, whit. her ex-boyfriend is off the case but the district attorney who was prosecuting donald trump in georgia for election interference remains after a rather bizarre detour through her personal life and a really unflattering report from the judge. this morning, fulton county d.a. fani willis survives a two-month attempt by donald trump and some of his co-defendants to get her disqualified. they argued her romance with another prosecutor she hired for the case created a conflict of interest. judge scott mcafee decided georgia law does not permit the finding of an actual conflict for simply making bad choices but made clear he thought willis dating nathan wade showed a tremendous lapse in judgment and created such a significant appearance of impropriety, he required wade to withdraw if willis wanted to stay. hours later wade resigned to move this case forward as quickly as possible. but there is no trial date set, and defense attorney scott

grubman told abc affiliate wsb there could be an appeal. >> it was already exceedingly unlikely in my opinion that this case was ever going to get to trial before the 2024 election. an appeal would make that 100% impossible. >> reporter: while the judge said removing willis was too drastic, his ruling questioned her judgment, professionalism, and credibility on the witness stand. >> it only made sense to me that i would be your next witness. >> reporter: saying an odor of mendacity remains, and the judge who once worked under willis at the d.a.'s office criticized a speech she gave in church implying her ex-boyfriend came under scrutiny because he's black. >> god, is it that some will never see a black man as qualified no matter his achievements? >> reporter: the judge said willis cast racial aspersions in a way that was legally improper. the georgia case is one of four that trump faces. all of them, whit, have been saddled with delays. >> whit: speaking of those delays, the trump criminal trial in new york has also been pushed back after thousands of documents have been revealed.

>> this is the trial over a hush payment to a porn actress, stormy daniels. it was supposed to begin in just eight days, but the judge put it off for a few weeks, so he can deal with what he called significant issues that he has to resolve over potential evidence. >> whit: that trial calendar really getting crowded as we get closer to election day. aaron, thank you. janai? >> janai: all right. turning overseas now to the late breaking developments in the israel-hamas war. prime minister netanyahu approving plans to invade the city of rafah amid those crucial cease-fire talks. abc's matt gutman joins us live in israel. matt, good morning. this is a red line for president biden. >> reporter: it is, janai, and netanyahu didn't offer a red -- didn't offer a timetable for this very controversial offensive in the southern gaza city of rafah. it's where israel believes the last few hamas battalions and a few of its leaders may still be holed up. and, as you mentioned, president biden has called it a possible red line if israel does not take the security of the 1.4 million

palestinians sheltering in rafah into account, and it comes a day after senate majority leader chuck schumer called for new elections here in israel, saying that netanyahu has lost his way. now, an israeli general telling me that they have a plan to try to allay u.s. concerns. they're going to try to move somehow those 1.4 million palestinians from the south to the center of the gaza strip into humanitarian enclaves where they would be provided shelter, food, water, housing, hospitals. this comes against the backdrop over new negotiations between israel and hamas. hamas presenting a new proposal to release about 40 hostages including women and the ill in exchange for up to a thousand palestinians to be released from israel's prisons. netanyahu called it absurd, but he is still sending a delegation to doha for talks. the u.s. government has said that this is -- that they're cautiously optimistic about these renewed talks. gio? >> gio: no end in sight at least

for now in this conflict. thank you so much. now to new details on the plunge on a boeing 787 that injured about 50 people. boeing is telling airlines to check a specific switch in the cockpit as the ntsb now joins the investigation. >> it was insane. i was, like, i thought i was dreaming. >> reporter: it was the moment that terrified passengers this week. video shared online capturing the sudden dive of an airlines 787 dreamliner. >> we are now safe now. we are now safe now. >> reporter: now this morning boeing sending airlines an urgent reminder to inspect switches on pilot seats on those dreamliners. here's why. "the wall street journal" saying a flight attendant hit a switch on the pilot's seat while serving a meal causing a motorized feature to push the pilot into the controls and push down the plane's nose. those switches are not supposed to be pushed while a pilot is sitting in the seat. >> when that happens, everybody in back that isn't buckled in is eityer zero g or negative g and getting bounced off the ceiling.

>> reporter: the dive sending passengers and crew flying out of their seats hard enough to crack the panels overhead. at least 50 people injured. >> we dropped, and it happened in a split second, and then suddenly all the devices and bags were up near the roof, and then next moment everything was scattered on the ground. it was people scared, screaming, crying, and lots of injuries. >> reporter: boeing telling abc news that for the switches on flight deck seats, we are recommending operators perform an inspection at the next maintenance opportunity. now, boeing's alert to airlines suggest that they too believe this had to do with that switch on the pilot's seat. it is critically important that we understand what led to this, and i know everyone is always asking me, what's going on with boeing? i actually looked at some of the data. it's not that we're actually seeing more incidents with boeing, at least compared to last year, but we do see that all of the eyes of the world are on boeing right now, and so any incident is going to be taken very seriously. >> janai: and it's also a

re reed -- reminder -- i know you've reported on this before -- why you need to wear your seat belt any time you're in the seat. >> gio: yes. >> janai: so that doesn't happen. >> whit: thank you for that. we turn to what the cdc says is the growing number of measles cases in the u.s. this year the number already equaling all the cases reported in 2023. abc's melissa adan has the details on that. melissa, good morning. >> good morning, whit. look, there is a growing measles outbreak across the country, and health officials make it clear, measles is a highly contagious but preventable disease with two doses of the vaccine being 97% effective. this morning, growing concern as measles cases already hitting a milestone. the cdc now reporting that 58 cases across 17 states this year alone tying the number reported in all of 2023. in ohio the cincinnati health department reporting an exposure now urging the thousands who attended a disney on ice performance and are possibly experiencing symptoms to isolate and test.

in chicago, the cdc vaccinating people at this migrant shelter trying to stem an outbreak. >> measles did not come with the new arrivals. measles was already here. >> reporter: 12 cases now reported, 6 adults and 6 children have tested positive, ten linked to the shelter. the other two, students in local elementary schools. last month seven students coming down with the virus at this south florida elementary school. measles is highly contagious and spreads through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. the cdc says it can take about 11 to 12 days after exposure to develop symptoms. symptoms may include fever, cough, runny nose, watery eyes, and a rash of red spots. >> the majority of measles cases are happening in unvaccinated individuals. a lot of it is vaccine hesitancy, which unfortunately has increased in some parts of the country since the pandemic but also the pandemic itself caused delays in routine childhood vaccinations. >> reporter: health officials stressing vaccination is the key to prevention.

>> if you and your family are headed out for a spring break trip, you know there's going to be crowds. there's also right now measles outbreaks throughout the country, and you want to make sure you're up to date on your vaccines and are fully protected against the measles. >> now, to put this into perspective, dr. patel says if one person has the measles, then 90% of the people around them can also catch it if they're not already protected. janai? >> janai: really startling that already this year more cases than all of last year. melissa, thank you. it is time for another check of the weather. let's go to somara. there's still snow behind you, but eventually spring is coming. >> somara: you know, i always say spring is when you have winter and summer duking it out. and this is what we get. we get the warm temperatures then the big swings to snow. colorado springs, colorado, you can see this gentleman trying to plow his way out of the snow. look at this deer frolicking through so much snow. aspen, colorado, actually saw 61 inches of snow in the past few

days. multiple reports coming out of colorado, and through the weekend more snow is expected. this time a little farther south than aspen, headed to northern new mexico. we could see generally 3 to 6 inches of snow. some spots could see 1 to 2 feet of snow. as a result, national weather offices have issued winter storm warnings and winter weather advisories as they >> somara: and that is a look at

your local forecast. my friends, back to you. >> gio: somara, thank you so much. let's talk march madness. right? let's talk march madness. >> whit: let's do it. >> gio: we love march madness. when college basketball fans lose their minds and talk about nothing but their brackets, we are down to the wire. teams are vying to make their way into the tournament with those on the bubble needing wins. morgan norwood is here with the latest. hey, morgan, good morning. >> hey. good morning to you, gio. that's right. battle for the bracket selection show sunday revealing this year's brackets for the ncaa tournament. we're one day away. overnight bubble hopefuls on the hardwood as conference championship week comes to a close. let's talk about it. let's take you there. north carolina state winning in a thriller, forcing overtime with an incredible three-pointer defeating virginia 73- 65 and that is for the first time since 2007. n.c. state men's basketball in the championship game of the acc tournament and then it was shot for shot. st. john's looking to knock off uconn, but the huskies pull

[ laughter ] >> whit: yep, yep. thank you, morgan. appreciate it. still ahead the house voting to ban tiktok. so what's next in the battle over the popular social media site? >> janai: and the lawsuit rocking college sports. women athletes suing the ncaa accusing the league of violating their title ix rights.

stories we're following this saturday morning. happening right now, a deadly string of tornadoes in the heartland. three people have died, and at least 20 sent to the hospital after at least 15 tornados ripped through seven states stretching from texas to indiana. ohio was the hardest hit with an ef-3 tornado clocking winds of at least 136 miles per hour. >> janai: also right now, new york's governor holding an urgent transit safety meeting after the latest violent subway incident. the district attorney saying no charges will be filed against a rider who shot an aggressor in the head after taking his gun saying there is evidence of self-defense, but those scary moments terrifying subway riders during rush hour as they ducked for cover. >> whit: and switching gears here, no winner in last night's huge mega millions drawing. that means the jackpot is getting closer to the billion dollar mark. tuesday's jackpot now estimated to be worth $875 million. no one has won that jackpot in 28 consecutive drawings. >> janai: getting closer to a b-b-billion.

[ laughter ] that's a lot of money. >> whit: i like how you say it. >> janai: all right. we start this half hour by looking at the top political headlines. joining us, abc news deputy political director averi harper and white house correspondent maryalice parks. so great to have you both here, as always. maryalice, let's start with you. president biden, donald trump both clinched their party's nominations, but there are so many voters who aren't happy with either candidate. how do they win those people over? >> yeah, it did feel this week like americans needed a moment to let the reality of that rematch really set in. in d.c. there's a new term pollsters and politic types are using more and more, double haters. how many voters don't like either candidate? that is just how much dissatisfaction there is, and those double haters could decide this whole election. you know, the fear, of course, is that means it's a really negative campaign, and you talk to some democrats who say quietly they think it might be enough to convince americans, remind americans how much they really don't like trump.

maybe that is enough. i don't know. we'll see. republicans for their part, they really like the polling on the issues. they like how many americans are saying they trust trump more on issues like the border and the economy. look, i often think of this other line i hear from democrats that say that they're not worried about losing to trump. they're worried about losing to the couch, and i do think that in this moment is the big challenge for both candidates, to just get voters excited somehow to feel like their voice matters again, to care. if people stay home, who, you know, who wins in that case? they need to find a way to motivate people to even engage in this campaign. >> whit: can your dislike for a candidate be enough to actually get people to the polls as opposed to enthusiasm? up next, averi, let's go to you. both president biden and vice president kamala harris were on the road this week, and harris making a trip to an abortion clinic for the first time, i believe, it is ever for a president or vice president. what is the message they're trying to send here? >> right. so, both the president and vice

president have been traveling to battleground states to speak with voters about their agenda, and much of kamala harris' travel has been about reproductive rights, and so that's why we saw her make that first of its kind trip to an abortion clinic in minnesota. this is really about showing their commitment to reproductive rights. i'll tell you, the biden campaign is hoping that this is going to be a galvanizing factor for voters come november and that folks will turn out to vote for democrats up and down the ballot. >> gio: let's switch to what people -- like, people are talking about this tiktok ban, this potential tiktok ban. the house passed this bill that would essentially force the chinese company to sell its american business or face that ban. so, where do we stand? what happens next? >> right. the next place it goes to is the senate floor for consideration. it's unclear if there will be support in the senate for that bill. we know that president biden has said that he would sign that bill into law if it were to come across his desk, so it will be interesting to see exactly what happens here. if it does get to president biden's desk, if he signs it into law, it doesn't mean that the app is going away any time

soon. bytedance would then get six months -- the parent company would have six months to sell to another company. >> janai: so, that's the issue with tiktok. when we talk about social media overall, there's so much research about the need for safeguards. why isn't congress passing online safety bills for other social media platforms? >> it's such an important question and it's something voters talk about nonstop on trail on both sides of the aisle. i'm struck by voters, especially parents, of course, at democratic rallies, republican rallies, there is this overall sense that something needs to change. people talk about teenage mental health, worrying about physical safety of their kids, exploitation, a concern about depression, isolation. i mean, people are worried, and they feel like congress needs to do something. there is one bill, the kids online safety act, that has 62 senators. that's enough to pass a

filibuster, 62 senators who say they support it. so i'm definitely going to be looking for whether congress moves on that in addition to anything with tiktok. >> gio: our political gurus, maryalice and averi, thanks for being here and giving us the update. time now for the weather. our weather guru, somara theodore. hey, somara. >> somara: a lot going on in the big apple today. look at this earth cam shot. so beautiful. the city of new york is sitting pretty. we have the st. paddy's day parade today, the half marathon tomorrow morning. let's dive into the east coast weather. absolutely pleasant for your saturday. not bad. d.c., our nation's capital, 63 degrees, even in boston low 50s. this is through this afternoon, and then what happens is, we start to see this cold front not very strong, but a mild cold front moving through tonight into tomorrow morning, and behind it some chillier conditions, maybe even some rain/snow on the northern tier closer to upstate new york there. as far as temperatures go, we're going to see a big swing here. so, next week will be very cool, right? so a lot of us have been basking in the glory of this warmth. that changes, and you can see pittsburgh waking up monday morning headed to work in the 20s.

how dare march. chicago feeling like or actually around 31 degrees monday morning. hartford, connecticut, by wednesday, 28 degrees. >> somara: that's a look at your forecast. >> somara: that's a look at your forecast. janai, over to you. >> janai: somara, that cold, you can keep it. >> somara: i know. i'm sorry. >> janai: all right. still coming up here on "good morning america," the women in maui powering the recovery of their community. >> whit: also ahead here, the title ix lawsuit sending shock waves through college sports. tht female president. of the universe.

>> whit, riley gaines is leading this lawsuit. she lost a fifth place trophy two years ago to a transgender athlete. she says this development was due time and that the ncaa has been served, but the big question is what change, if any, will the sports world see? this morning, former university of kentucky swimmer riley gaines and more than a dozen athletes suing the ncaa saying the organization's 2022 ruling that allows transgender athletes to compete in women's sports is in violation of title ix. >> a lot of people ask us why did we wait this long to file a lawsuit? well, we waited this long to allow the ncaa every opportunity to make the right decision. >> reporter: the lawsuit detailing an incident at the ncaa national championship weeks after that ruling where gaines tied for fifth place with lia thomas, a trans swimmer who had previously competed in the men's category. the complaint alleges that only thomas would be allowed to hold

a fifth place trophy, also stating that the secret of thomas' meteoric ascendance and dominance in ncaa women's swimming was retained male advantage. athletes kaitlynn wheeler joining the lawsuit. >> we're not asking for anything extra. we're not asking for anything special. we're just asking for the ncaa to really do the bare minimum and protect us whether that be in our locker rooms, on the track, on the field, on the court. >> reporter: title ix is part of a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on sex at any institution that receives federal funding. while the ncaa will not comment on pending litigation, they tell abc news in a statement, they will continue to promote title ix, make unprecedented investments in women's sports, and ensure fair competition in all ncaa championships. >> this case can really bring a challenge to what is defined legally as a woman. >> lia thomas will capture the win in the 200-yard freestyle. >> reporter: lia thomas is not commenting on the current lawsuit, but in 2022, the

university of pennsylvania swimmer sat down with abc's juju chang. >> there would be scrutiny against me if i competed as a woman. i was prepared for that, but i also don't need anybody's permission to be myself and to do the sport that i love. advocacy group athlete ally says they appreciate the ncaa is pausing and reassessing and say they firmly believe research shows that transgender athletes do not have an inherent advantage in sports, and they add they should not just be accepted, but celebrated. janai? >> janai: all right, thank you for that, zohreen. still coming up here on "good morning america," the new series following photographers look at this. as they capture their most breathtaking shots. >> gio: wow, that's amazing. next he me-changing real estate news that home sellers will love. stick around on "gma."

>> gio: we're going to turn to the major changes coming to the real estate market soon. realtor commissions are likely to drop to a fraction of what they are now. abc's alexis christoforous is here to break this all down and what this means for buyers and sellers, and, alexis, good morning. you were telling me this is good for both. >> it is good for both, gio. you got it. it's a big deal for anybody looking to buy or sell a home, because it basically means that longtime standard 6% fee we all pay a realtor is gone. here's how the settlement breaks down. the national association of realtors will reduce its fees and stop requiring that sellers pay both their broker and a buyer's broker. it will also pay about $420

million to settle claims that its fees artificially inflated home prices. the changes could slash broker fees by as much as 50% resulting in thousands of dollars in savings for buyers and sellers, and here's why. so, if you sell a $400,000 house today, you'll pay your real estate broker about $24,000 in fees, a cost that's passed on to the buyer, but under the new rules your broker fee could be cut in half to $12,000. in a statement the nar says, continuing to litigate would have hurt members and their small businesses. this agreement is the best outcome we could achieve in the circumstances. experts say it is the biggest shake-up the housing market has seen in nearly a century. a federal court is expected to approve this settlement in the coming weeks. sellers and buyers should see those broker fees reduced by mid-july. guys? >> whit: really is a game changer. something to watch. all right. alexis, thank you so much. coming up next, our "play of the day."
