heavy bands of rain left residents wading through water, damaging homes, businesses and vehicles. from above, you can see debris left behind in hampton beach, new hampshire, and leading to messy commutes from new york city to philadelphia. the weather service confirming two tornadoes touched down in alabama and georgia, ripping the roofs off some homes. all of it as spring breaker travel heats up with the weather to the north contribut to the north contributing to hundreds of flight cancellations and thousands of delays nationwide now, as for today, so far there have been more than 300 flight delays and more than 40 flight those wind gusts pick up later today. savannah? >> erin mclaughlin leading us off, thank you. >> dylan is in for al with what we can expect today, a lot of delayed flights.

savannah and i paid him a visit the tonight show, now he's giving it back, live in our studio, he'll be here live powerful winds causing dangerous conditions and travel problems all morning along the east coast flight delays and cancellations are piling up right now. the same storm system fuelling today's extreme weather caused flooding over the weekend from the deep south to new england. and the national weather service says tornadoes damaged home and downed trees in georgia and alabama. dylan is in for al with how things are shaping up. >> the winds will continue to get strong, especially later this morning into early this afternoon. so we have wind alerts all across the northeast into new england, stretching down into north carolina and virginia as well. 62 million people under these wind advisories. and even some high wind warnings in the higher elevations now, this area of low pressure that brought the rain over the weekend, this is just a powerful storm. so on the back side of it is why we still have all those strong winds. and currently winds are gusting up to 30 to 40 miles an hour

and then as the sunshine comes out and the daytime heating happens, we could see gusts 50 to 55 miles an hour. but it will pull away, taking what's left of the snow with it, too. although some areas across northern vermont and new hampshire could still see five to six inches of snow from this. for the most part, this whole storm system is long gone. >> thank you so much officials in indonesia say both pilots on a domestic flight with 153 passengers on board fell asleep in the middle of the trip a government report on the january incident says th captain had permission to take a nap once the plane hit cruising altitude he woke up to find his co-pilot had also fallen asleep they were both out for a half hour while the plane veered off course and radio calls went unanswered the flight did land safely the co-pilot told investigators that his one-month-old twins had kept him up the night before they're just like us.

now to that escalating battle over tiktok, congress is set to take a vote earlier this week that coul lead to a nationwide ban it has a lot of users worried about the future of the wildly popular platform nbc's business correspondent brian cheung is here with the story. he's following this back and forth. for folks who haven't been following the story closely, bring us up to speed how do we get to this point? >> this nationwide ban could happen relatively quickly because the house says it will put it to a full vote later on this week. after that point in time it still needs to get passed by the senate and signed by the president before coming into law. but we have to remember what this is all about. this is what lawmakers say it concerns a national security issue. they're worried that the chinese parent company bytedance has access and is giving data from tiktok to the chinese government those are allegations that tiktok denies. they say if they follow through on this nationwide ban, it will destroy the livelihoods of all the creators that have build reputations off this app. so very interesting, we'll see how it develops. >> so the legislation basically says to tiktok, either divest

yourself of the chinese parent company, sell to someone else or we'll ban you. >> yeah. that's what lawmakers are saying, that it is not really a ban. that we're going to give six months once it's passed for this chinese company to sell off tiktok if they do that, tiktok still goes on. no issues or interruptions there. if they don't, then it would be banned tiktok says they are unlikely to maybe make that six-month sale happen that's why the concern about this ban here. technically that would take some time if you think about it also, it is march, right? six months from now, we get close to the election. so there are a lot of politicians that may be using this social media app. and biden himself actually joined around the super bowl so the campaign is using it. they weirdly have that messaging as wel >> biden also says he'll sign the ban if congress sends it to him. trump tried to ban tiktok as well now he's not for the tiktok ban. >> mixed messaging. >> everyone is all over the place. >> exactly >> not just on tiktok. >> right

a sadist, and he staffed the school himself, with either people who were going along with what he was doing, or were going to be mute about it. >> reporter: what was going on, he says, was not just bleak, but often criminal. >> this is not a bunch of mid-teen, late teen kids going through a rough school. this is children being sexually, physically and emotionally abused on a daily basis. >> reporter: we sat down with spencer, a best selling author and historian. at the home to his ancestors since 1508. it is surrounded by over 10,000 acres of farm and parkland. inside priceless paintings by

van dyke and others. you are. >> i told a friend of mine about this recently. and he said, i just can't believe you weren't protected. as if coming from this incredibly privileged background somehow would be a protection against pedophiles and sadists. but there is no protection against those kinds of people. >> reporter: especially when secrecy is paramount. >> the most important code of this very flawed regime was never to tell the tales. >> reporter: the secrets the 75 boys all under 13 kept. were dark. >> every week, at least half a dozen would be whipped with a cane. and we all had showers together after sports. and you could see the blood, the split skin. >> reporter: how could the parents not have asked questions? >> i have a theory. so the old money there sort of thought, well, is this going to make my son tougher and more

successful? and then people who had made money more recently thought, well, this is what they do. and we want to be part of this set. >> reporter: he says abuse came from some of the teachers, too. >> there was one particularly violent master, and he caught me by myself in a changing room going out to play cricket. and he just grabbed me and threw me over his knee. and cricket boots have spikes on them, metal spikes, and he beat me and beat me. >> reporter: what truly haunted him was being sexually abused at the age he was in this portrait, 11. the predator, he says, a young adult female, a member of the staff charged with taking care of the young boys.

>> she would come round to my >> i mean, i'm embarrassed to say it was thrilling, especially in an emotional desert. but, of course, it was terrible. she pretended she was going to have to leave early to keep us all on tenter hooks, really. i remember cutting myself as a sort of -- i thought, if i hurt myself enough, then god will let her stay. >> reporter: when he was 12, he says, and traveling with his mother in italy, he secretly acted out the final scene of the sexual abuse from the year before. >> i had not had sexual intercourse with the predator. and i took my pocket money and had -- i lost my virginity to a prostitute at the age of 12. i see that as the completion of what she had done to me. >> reporter: who is the first person you ever told when it happened to you?

>> a therapist when i was about 42. >> reporter: you kept this inside? >> yes. and he said, whisper to me one thing you have never told anyone. and i said, i was sexually abused by a woman when i was a child. that was the make name i had in my family before i went to maywell. and that was the boy who had part of him snuffed out during those five years at the school. i wanted to reconnect with the carefree, happy little guy i was before i was sent to this place. >> the school is taking his charges seriously and told nbc news in a statement, they have reached out to the local authorities charged with
