good morning, america. breaking now -- >> big, big tornado. it's coming on the road right in front of me. >> the massive twister outbreak now causing chaos across the south. >> i'm in the tornado, in the tornado. >> more than 100 tornadoes reported so far over 10 states. the frantic run for cover. >> basement now. >> the word still coming in on people trapped and this morning, heroic actions saving so many. the restaurant staff saved in this cooler. the storms now stalled. we are live across the region in this weather emergency. and breaking news, a shooting at fedex. georgia police say at least six are injured at this hour after a workplace shooting at a fedex center in metro atlanta, details coming in right now.

decision day. the head of the nba set to decide the fate of embattled clippers owner donald sterling, just as the team is about to take the court tonight. we see sterling for the first time, and mark cuban speaks out. everything is really painful right now. it's hard to breathe. plus, drama on the dance floor. paralympian amy purdy rushed to the hospital during the live broadcast moments after injuring herself during the rumba. did she push herself too far to turn up the heat? and good morning, america. welcome back to michael strahan and we begin with this tornado disaster. even more now slamming mississippi and alabama. look at the storm chasers up close with their cameras capturing these terrifying scenes and sounds. look at this twister literally crossing the highway just feet

from the car in mississippi. >> just so, so terrifying. and here's the latest. there have been 114 reported tornadoes since sunday. the death count now stands at 29 at this hour over these 6 states and the big headline right now, the storm's literally spinning in place staying right where they have already wreaked so much havoc. >> and you see this utter devastation there in tupelo, and the threat this morning has not gone away. and, ginger, you say the storm could even turn back to places already hit so hard. >> correct. we're in what we call a blocking pattern, so essentially what you're seeing there, all of those images, could happen in the same place again today, and this is why, we have that huge system spinning. it's blocked. it's stuck right here in the center, and it's spinning, spinning. and so places back here from birmingham back into parts of mississippi are going to be in the threat area again later this afternoon and evening. but the storms that came through yesterday are still blowing through. tornado watch still in parts of georgia all the way through the florida panhandle.

so it's a morning threat, it's an afternoon and evening threat, and it will be including tupelo. and that's where we find our steve osunsami this morning in the midst of all of that damage from yesterday's storm. steve? >> reporter: good morning, ginger. take a close look at this restaurant. there were people here inside eating lunch when the storm came through. you can see the sun now poking through the roof. there's still plates of food on the tables here. amazingly, everyone here survived. >> big, big tornado across the road right in front of me. >> reporter: it was heartbreak falling down from the sky. at least two tornadoes tearing through mississippi monday. >> to be able to stop there and then see what the tornado had become or what it had turned into is a wow moment. >> reporter: one of them ripped through the heart of tupelo. meteorologist matt laubhan on our abc station was live on the air warning his viewers and

his 35 co-workers to run for cover. >> basement now. >> let's go. >> let's go. >> i tell people at home at that point you got to get to your safe place. what kind of example are we setting if we don't go? >> reporter: in downtown tupelo, so many buildings and restaurants this morning are missing a roof or walls. vanelli's was a local institution. the restaurant is a total loss. 13 employees and customers were able to walk away because the owner was thinking fast. >> one of the employees said, hey, there's a tornado coming, and i said, well, everybody get in the cooler. >> reporter: voz vanelli says he rushed them into this large cooler, and when they came out, the restaurant was destroyed. >> the building shook a little bit, and your ears popped, and 15 seconds later it stopped. >> reporter: overnight emergency crews searched the broken homes. eight confirmed deaths in mississippi alone. three people were taken to the hospital from this block in pearl, mississippi. entire neighborhoods destroyed. homes downed.

cars overturned. businesses ripped apart. streets littered with power lines. and the rare moment of relief like when constance lambert embraces her dog after reuniting after the storm. schools across alabama and georgia today are closed because of the threat of even more severe weather. lara? >> all right. steve, thank you so much. and from mississippi, parts of alabama also hit so hard from the severe weather. abc's gio benitez is in kimberly just north of birmingham with us this morning. good morning, gio. >> reporter: hey, lara, good morning to you. we are in a small town just north of birmingham. and i want you to take a look behind me because this is the church or at least it was a church, and at one point throughout the night, there were people trapped beneath it in the basement. amazingly, they got out, but, boy, it was a wild night in alabama. lightning tears through the skies near birmingham. the storm's fury menacing towns all across the south.

[ sirens ] >> reporter: sirens blaring. that ominous warning in alabama that a deadly tornado was on the way. this is the same storm that we're seeing here. this is the same storm that was in tuscaloosa. that tornado on the ground moving towards birmingham. we're going to go down and get shelter right now. we're on top of a hotel. it's just too dangerous up here. >> there's like two tornadoes over there. >> reporter: 13 tornadoes touching down across alabama just in the last 24 hours responsible for at least two deaths. and now reports that a 21-year-old in tuscaloosa died after doing the right thing, going into his basement. but the basement wall collapsed on top of him. the storm destroying this church in kimberly, alabama. 25 people were inside at the time. all of them survived. the pastor uses this church as a community shelter, keeping people safe underground. when you saw your church demolished the way it is right now -- >> i cried. i cried.

the church is not the people. the people are the church. >> reporter: and here at this apartment building, a massive tree took out two cars, and people were forced out after the building's roof was torn off. and this morning, officials tell us that people still could be trapped in the rubble. but emergency crews just haven't been able to reach them. there's too much damage. lara and george? >> all right, gio. thank you so much. >> and i know you've got the other huge story this morning. >> that's right. the latest on that firestorm surrounding l.a. clippers owner, donald sterling. sponsors pulling away from the clippers after hearing those racist comments caught on tape, and the nba commissioner expected to announce the results of his investigation later today. abc's ryan smith has the story. >> are you a racist, mr. sterling? >> reporter: l.a. clippers owner, donald sterling, seen here for the first time since the scandal broke leaving an l.a. steakhouse sunday night with his estranged wife, shelly. and when asked if her husband is a racist? >> no, of course not. >> reporter: a far cry from the statement she issued hours

earlier saying "our family is devastated by the racist comments made by my estranged husband." those comments, now notorious. >> it bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you're associating with black people. >> reporter: believed to be sterling speaking to his alleged former lover, v. stiviano and obtained by tmz and deadspin, they've caused no fewer than ten sponsors to either suspend or end their relationship with the clippers. >> do you think sterling is a racist? >> reporter: as for stiviano, she was silent monday while on her way to court for an unrelated dui case according to k app abc-tv. but her attorney says the recordings are legitimate though he denied she released them to the news media. >> don't come to my games. don't bring black people. and don't come. >> reporter: the clippers haven't verified if the voice is sterling. but they say he is, quote, emphatic that what is reflected on the recording is not consistent with his views, beliefs or feelings.

still, the nba is up in arms. on monday night, the miami heat showing solidarity with the clippers, leaving their shirts midcourt. and clippers coach doc rivers speaking with reporters by phone monday. >> i can't tell you how upset i am, our players are. they didn't sign on for this. >> i think the players are going to attempt to defy donald sterling in every imaginable way and the best way to do that is by winning. >> reporter: dallas mavericks' owner, mark cuban, however, said while sterling's comments were "abhorrent," the nba should not remove sterling saying, "i think you've got to be very, very careful when you start making blanket statements about what people say and think as opposed to what they do. it's a very, very slippery slope." and now this development, magic johnson, who's pictured with stiviano is believed to have set sterling on that alleged rant is reportedly interested in buying the team if it's available. as for the game that's happening here tonight, the lapd telling

us that they will definitely have a presence at the game to ensure everyone's safety. george? >> okay, ryan. we're going to hear from the commissioner before that. let's get more on this now from espn's sage steele, the host of "nba countdown." sage, thanks for joining us this morning. so much pressure on the commissioner to take tough action. >> yeah. so much pressure and rightfully so. and he knows that. this is the biggest task of his young tenure. but, george, as far as what we think is going to happen, again, it is speculation at this point, i expect silver to come out and give a full explanation as to what the investigation has entailed so far and what it will continue to entail because this thing is not going away any time soon. as for actions he might take, certainly a suspension. will it be indefinite? will it be a year? will it be a lifetime? we will see. and then a fine. i'm hearing it could be up to $2.5 million. so certainly a seven-figure fine to go along with a suspension, but here's what i really hope happens, george, i hope he comes out and fully explains what his rights are as commissioner, what the rights of the league are and, most importantly, i

think, what the rights of the 29 other owners are because here's the thing. i'm offended. i'm sure you're offended. but is what he said, george, is what he said illegal? and that's the question. >> and is it grounds -- is it permitted in the bylaws? is expulsion permitted in the bylaws? it doesn't appear that it is. and the commissioner has to thread a needle here. he's got to come up with tough enough action to pressure sterling to sell the team but not enough -- not so much that it provokes a lawsuit. >> right. and as we know from past history, his track record, donald sterling, he's not afraid of lawsuits. he's dealt with several and, by the way, discrimination-related racism charges throughout the past 20 years. so i think that he has to be very careful there, and he knows that, so explain to us, though because we might not like the punishment he hands down. explain to us specifically what is in the rights and the rights of the owners. so, pressure him to make it as uncomfortable as humanly possible for him to stay on as

owner. try to force him out. but i don't know that it will be legally within their rights to kick him out based on what we know so far, george. >> we will be watching. sage, thanks very much. and, michael, you've played in professional leagues. these players right now really caught in the middle. unclear what they can do if they don't like the punishment. >> yeah, if they don't like the punishment, what really can they do? if anything, you're going to play, not for the ownership, but you're going to play for your teammates. these guys have worked hard to get where they are. and they're put in a bad situation. so if there's anybody i have sympathy for, it's the players, it's the fans, it's people that have invested in this team who now see that the ownership they've invested in really has not invested in everybody else. >> no question about that. let's get today's other top stories from amy. >> good morning, everyone. we begin with breaking news. workplace shooting in atlanta. several victims rushed to the hospital. matt gutman is there with the la latest. >> reporter: six have been wounded. one critically so in the shooting. the shooter himself is dead, they say, of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. the bomb quad continues to comb

that facility. about a couple hundred yards up the road for any spbs device, now, none have been found so far. this is just part of protocol. folks who worked at this facility said that the shooting happened at the busiest time for them just before 6:00 and created chaos. amy? >> all right, abc's matt gutman, thank you. a scare in midair for a planeload of passengers over australia. this regional jet caught fire and flames shooting from one engine after takeoff. stunned passengers could see sparks from their window. the pilot managed to safely make an emergency landing. no one was injured. president obama is returning to washington facing the worst poll numbers of his presidency. new video shows the captain of that ferry being rescued just as the ship started sinking.

they did not know he was the captain. he faces a possible life sentence for negligence. a wild ride in a new york highway. police say the man seen hanging from this taxi tried to carjack the driver, who then sped away, driving up to 70 miles per hour. when the cabbie slowed down, the suspect jumped off and was thankfully later arrested. finally, an epic fail at what should have been a triumphant moment. a college grad at davenport university got a little too excited accepting his diploma on stage in front of family and friends. what could go wrong? watch what happened next. >> keaton taylor briggs. [ cheers and applause ] >> oh, no. oh! he decided to do a backflip, but, yeah, he did not land that so well. don't worry. he's okay and thankfully we didn't actually see that impact and i didn't want to see that. but apparently he's been having lots of fun since this video was on local tv. his name is bobby blanc. he says it was a

spur-of-the-moment thing. he didn't mean to steal the show but he's pumped up there was an open space, so he thought, i'm going to go for it. just got it a little short. >> they said they should have done a dress rehearsal because i think the gown -- >> the gown could have gotten in the way. >> did you see the face of the president? what's going on here? >> well, he did make national tv. >> he did. he got something out of it. >> bobby blanc. >> amy, thank you. we want to move now to brand-new video, revealing truck drivers caught on hidden cameras texting and talking on the phone. these are terrifying moments on tape when drivers are taking their eyes off the road putting everyone around them in danger. investigative reporter jim hoffer from our new york station wabc-tv brings us the story. >> reporter: take a look at this video, a distracted truck driver in arizona allegedly looking at pictures on his phone crashes into police cars and emergency vehicles killing one officer. the driver has pleaded not guilty to murder charges. it seems epidemic.

truckers on major u.s. highways texting or talking on the phone. on a new york highway, this trucker appears more focused on texting than driving. one of the worst cases we observed, this driver engaged in dual distraction, as he talks on two phones, carrying on two conversations. on any highway where we set up our camera, we easily caught truckers dialing, texting and talking on their phones. illegal for sure and potentially deadly. >> the truck just came up and hit him from behind and pushed him into another truck. >> reporter: a year ago, george and kathy were killed when a driver who police say was texting slammed his tractor-trailer into the back of their car on a pennsylvania highway. >> it utterly destroyed us. i mean, it's devastating beyond words. >> reporter: do you think the consequences are strict enough right now for truckers? >> well, is it really changing behavior? and from your video, that video pretty clearly shows that

there's a lot of people driving commercial vehicles that are still using their personal electronic devices. >> reporter: for "good morning america," jim hoffer, abc news, new york. >> just terrifying video. put the phone down. >> put it down. >> michael. >> yes. you know, flying the friendly skies just keeps getting more pricey and less comfortable. and new charges now for the cost of your carry-on bag. and abc's dan abrams is in the social square with more. dan. >> all right, michael. frontier airlines announced monday that they will be charging people for their carry-on bags. let's take a look at what it would cost a passenger to fly from washington, d.c. to los angeles on wednesday, july 23rd returning on the 24th. you see the classic plus. that gets you the reserved seat. that gets you as much carry-on as you want. $987. economy, $621. that's a savings of $365.60. you want to go from st. louis to phoenix. that classic plus, that all inclusive fare, $677.99. the economy, $387.98. a total savings of $290.01.

the bottom line, though, if you're talking about a full family, you could save about $800 as a family if you take the economy fare. >> that's pretty great savings there, dan. okay. thanks very much, even though you have to pay something for your bags. >> don't you think those little hidden costs end up adding up and suddenly you're paying classic plus? >> yeah. we got to go to the calculator every time. but right now we have to go to ginger. she has a lot more on the severe weather threat today. >> yeah. i wanted to show you the cutoff low we were talking about and the areas that are going to be affected by the same violent storms. so, it's stuck up there. i talked about the blocking pattern. it sits. it churns. it created the violent storms along the cold front. it moves hardly at all today. it even moves slightly backward. we call it retrograde. but, anyway, birmingham to meridian, mississippi and alabama in that elevated area. all of the orange has the risk of damaging wind, large hail and an isolated tornado so you're going to have to look out for that anywhere, mid-atlantic, even up to parts of the great

lakes.

>> unlike those baggage costs, dan, that you were talking about, you don't have to pay for degrees or temperatures. i'm going to show you a place that would have to pay a lot, it's hot, hot, hot somewhere. all coming up. >> thank you, ginger. coming up on "gma," closing arguments set to begin in that home invasion trial. the minnesota man charged with the death of two teenagers. his attorney argues self-defense. and paul simon and edie brickell in court holding hands after their arrest. why they're saying they're just fine. and miley cyrus speaking out for the first time since her lengthy hospital stay. pital stay. and a painful night in the ballroom.

homeowner's worst fear. how far can you go to protect your property? the defense choosing not to call byron smith to testify on his own behalf in the shooting death of two unarmed teens who broke into his minnesota home on thanksgiving day in 2012. >> his attorney knew he had some challenges coming across sympathetic in front of this jury. that, coupled with they had his point of view from the witnesses and the interviews presented, made it an easy decision for the defense not to call him. >> reporter: the defense called byron smith's brother and neighbor, as character witnesses, hoping to convince jurors that smith, a retired engineer for the state department and vietnam war veteran, feared for his life and acted in self-defense when he shot the teens. one of them was later found to be high on cough syrup. >> i think they're trying to paint a portrait of him being an upstanding man. prosecutors are saying something very different. they say in that moment, at least, he went too far. >> reporter: smith has pleaded not guilty, telling police he was fearful after a series of

break-ins. even installing recording devices in his house. his lawyers argue he couldn't tell the teens were unarmed. >> this is about anxiety and fear. and what somebody does in their own home. >> reporter: but the prosecutors argue, smith planned the killings. waiting for the teens in his basement, with a two guns, a book and a battle of water. and last week, an examiner nick brady was shot three times before shooting haley kiper, six times. the last bullet he fired at kiper, as a good, clean, finishing shot. because byron smith was in his home, he did not have to retreat. closing arguments are expected today. this is whether or not the jury thinks the homeowner acted in a reasonable way, considering the danger he was in. guys? >> thanks very much. we move to a shocking arrest for grammy winner paul simon and

monitor connected to the internet. the shreks say the hacker then began remotely moving the camera's swivel head, getting a full view of the baby's room and them. >> the camera then turned and looked at me, and it started -- started screaming some obscenities at me. >> reporter: it's not the first time a camera in a nursery has become a window into a family's home. last summer, a houston couple says a hacker began yelling obscenities at their 2-year-old through the baby monitor. >> i'm supposed to protect her against people like this. >> reporter: sometimes frequencies from the cameras can even appear in nearby homes. that's what mom stacy cass says happened to her in 2010. >> it was late at night. doing a routine check. turn it on to see my next door neighbor putting his son to sleep, as well. >> reporter: experts say baby monitors connected to the internet are tempting targets for hackers. >> everybody out there on the internet. the good guys. the bad guys. if they can get past that network devices, then they

can see all the devices that are on your network. >> reporter: experts recommend changing your user name and password on the router from the default to something more personal. and update them both. security updates are important. remember to regularly check the manufacturers' website. while they've now changed their router and passwords, they're using the same baby monitor. though these day, mom, heather, says she no longer sleeps like a baby. >> i don't know how long they could have been watching her or how many times this person could have been watching her and listening to our conversations. but just the emotion of thinking about what could have happened and what this person could have been thinking is absolutely terrifying. >> reporter: now, the shreks say they weren't able to find the hacker because the camera didn't save the data they needed. experts say this kind of hacking is pretty rare. but it's becoming more common as the cameras become more popular. and i actually use one of these in my baby's nursery and 46 you never think someone is going to break into your home this way. >> what kind of low-life scum would -- >> and screaming obscenities.

>> i was appalled by that. really? need to go there and get into the nursery? >> think of the private moments of your home. in your bathrobe and pajamas. someone could be watching that is very scary. >> so you're keeping the cameras. >> we are. my husband is in internet security. so he assures me we're safe. >> super duper. >> hack-free. >> thanks, mara. we have some health advice now. a lot of us frustrated with hard it is to get rid of those last few pounds across the middle. it turns out we're going about it the wrong way. so abc's abbie boudreau got some great tips from the experts. >> reporter: it's the battle of the bulge. stubborn belly fat that just won't go away no matter how hard you try. >> people think that working the muscles underneath the fat, you're going to make the fat disappear. but that's just not the case. >> reporter: celebrity fitness trainer harley pasternak says maybe your countless crunches are making the problem worse. crunches don't really help with the belly fat? >> crunches do not help with belly fat. >> so why are we all doing

crunches? >> i have no idea. >> reporter: try exercises that lengthen and strengthen your entire body. like the superman pose. and the pike plank. >> you feel those working? >> reporter: uh-huh. >> good. >> reporter: a simple side bend can help firm up your obliques and the stiff-leg dead lift helps you tone your legs and bottom. >> look up as much as you can. >> reporter: all while shrinking your waistline. so working out your behind can help with your gut? >> yes. >> reporter: another secret, smart snacks and cutting back on processed food. >> roasted chick peas, greek yogurt with some berries. these are great, healthy snacks. they have protein and fiber. those are two important components of a healthy snack. >> reporter: but it's not just diet and exercise. abc news nutrition and wellness editor dave zinczenko says reducing stress and increasing your amount of sleep to six or eight hours is critical for a flatter tummy. >> a sleepy person produces more of the hunger hormone and that means an extra 120

a little cover of bruno mars, "locked out of heaven." a lot of hits on youtube. they're going to play live all across america. one of their own songs coming up. we're looking forward to that. >> like "b," billions of hits on youtube. welcome to "good morning america." so excited to hear what you're singing. and then, check this out. spider-man is on our roof. >> oh. >> yes. he's keeping watch over "good morning america" and all of new york city. and then, emma stone, the star, is outside, signing autographs. and she's here to talk about her "amazing spider-man 2" role. and so much more. >> incredible young woman. can't wait to talk to her. forget being the wolves. it's the sharks that george have to worry about. see if they sink their teeth into your big idea. >> i get it. we're all taking our turn. tonight, robin, for real, is going to be on jimmy kimmel, live at 11:35 eastern. >> for real? >> for real.

right now, "gma" is swimming with the sharks. and we know the abc show, it gives people one shot to sell their great idea. or maybe not. at your service to a panel of sharks. now, it's our turn. amy, robin, ginger, george, myself. we all came up with an original idea and we dove right in. >> i go first. this was an idea that was inspired by my kids. here's what happened. >> meet the sharks. mark cuban, entrepreneur, media mogul and owner of the dallas mavericks. barbara corcoran, real estate mogul. kevin o'leary, venture capitalist and software mogul. lori greiner, entrepeneur, queen of qvc and author of "invent it,

sell it, bank it." daymond john, founder of fubu, fashion and branding mogul. first, to swim with the sharks, george stephanopoulos, with a pitch aimed at confused dads. >> a couple weeks ago i was reading "the new york times" when i saw this headline. imho. i had n-o idea what that meant. my daughter, elliott, translated. and i thought i had a good grasp of the english language. how little did i know. i brought in a panel of experts. squad. that's a team. you're laughing at that? >> it's like your group of friends. >> idc. i'm not good at this at all. i have no idea. >> it means, i don't care. >> gotta dip. >> you have to go swimming? >> no. i have to leave. >> ttyl. >> that one. >> no. >> i'm not going to get any right. not good. but then, it occurred to me, what if the answer was literally at my fingertips and yours? don't understand your kids? what if there was an app for that? i consulted an expert. yep. this is an app developer, 14-year-old thomas suarez.

>> i think this app would be very appealing to parents. >> reporter: with a few hours' work, thomas whipped up this prototype. >> sick translates to cool. >> reporter: so, the idea was born. not a dictionary, a dad-tionary. so this never happens to me again. hey, sharks. i'm george stephanopoulos. 70 million. 70 million teens, tweens, kids under 18 years old. you have a lot of perplexed parents like me. this is a way they can get clued in, monitor their kids online. this is a way to figure out what they're saying in texts. and also, to communicate with them. and i have a good marketing plan in place. or a good marketing base. i have nearly 2 million twitter followers. >> the whole concept of a dad-tionary, that has something going for it. and if you start to expand it into other things that deal with being a parent. >> this is the hook in. >> i think it would be good if

it pushed a new word to me every day, so i didn't have to look like a dork looking them up every time. >> i can see kevin going, let's roll deep. where are we going? >> i think it's a terrible idea. and i don't even like the idea of you naming it the dad-tionary. how are we to know what it is? and aren't the moms the real snoops in the family? >> it is also for moms and for dads. >> i would combine it. i took mark's point to say dad-tionary, it does cut out half of the population, all of the moms. another name that would include them both. i think it's a great idea. >> i would go with that. you hear about mommy blogs all the time. right? you don't hear about daddy blogs. >> and i agree with mark on one thing. but women, they buy ten-times something that a man buys one time. you need to include them. >> you need millions of users. let's take your case study. you think you can get 2%? 5%? 10%? any idea? >> my guess is i could get 2% to

5%, as a start. >> you would ask them to try it first, right? >> yeah. >> and then, after a month, try to get them to pay for it. or sell advertising. you have 100,000 users out of the gate. that's not bad, if it went viral. >> combining what you were saying, i wonder if you have this idea, pushing something out every day, combined with not just a word, a trend, a food, something going on in school. something going on with kids, just a new piece of information. >> a warning. if your son is going to pick up molly, stop him from picking up molly. molly is not his friend. >> no kidding. >> you certainly dealt with the children and got their feedback. what about the folks who are supposed to pay for this? have you tested it against any parents? have you gotten any feedback at all? >> no testing yet. i need money to go out and do it. >> not getting my money. >> now, the moment of truth. the sharks will hand out scores from one to five. >> i gave you a 3. i think there's a foundation for a decent business there. >> i don't want to see this one. >> this is the best compliment you can get.

>> i gave you an honest 1. and i'm being charitable. >> charitable? wow. >> i gave you a 3 because it did not suck like i thought it was going to. >> i gave you a 5. >> thank you, lori. >> i think you're a hero. >> i gave you a 4. i think you're on to something. >> thank you, guys. that was great feedback. i appreciate it. >> good job, george. >> thanks. i'm not a business person. i'm not an entrepreneur. i don't know how to go to the next step. but i was pretty encouraged. [ cheers and applause ] i have some work to do on barbara. >> yes. i want you to check your limbs. >> now, you're going to get the 14-year-old to build it for you? >> he'll build it, sure. >> while it was happening, we were all talking about it. i think there's something there. >> you got all of the words right? >> i got some of them right. i have two kids in that zone. i think you have a really good idea. >> that sounds like somebody who

knows she has better scores than i do. >> actually, i have a feeling -- your scores, let's look at them. do we have them? you got a 5 from lori. can't go higher than that. you got a 5. and a 1 from barbara. >> got better on the way up. and the leaderboard, your final score. you got a -- 16. >> george is in the lead. >> i'm going to take tomorrow off. >> actually, if it's me, don't worry about it. a little a hint, hint. >> well, the stakes are high. we're going to be donating $1,000 to charities helping entrepreneurs and small business in the country after everyone goes. there's a lot more at the end of the series, after you've seen all of the products. we're launching a viewer vote. and dell is donating another $10,000 on behalf of your favorite. it might be me and the dad-tionary. i want to know what you think about my app on facebook. you'll be able to like dad-tionary.

you don't vote for your final choice until you've seen all of the products. we want to hear from all of you. and while we wait, you can tweet us with #gmasharktank. and finally -- we have a lot of thank yous. and a huge shoutout to our friends at "fast company," helping us put together some top-notch pitches. >> and the kids. >> the kids for the idea. and you're up tomorrow. >> ginger is up tomorrow. >> i am. up. ttyl because, that is talk to you later, reminder. >> we have special "shark tank." there's ginger right there. and you're behind the scenes on the actual show. >> amazing story. check that out. >> that's friday at 8:00, 7:00 central. and go to goodmorningamerica.com to watch the shark show. now, it's time for ginger and a check of weather. >> let's do that. we do have some serious weather to talk about. please do listen. we have that severe weather threat today. the violent storms.

and believe me, this is not a repeat of yesterday. it just looks like it because anywhere from parts of michigan through ohio, down into the southeast, there's a threat in that red area. the elevated threat from birmingham, back through mississippi. this afternoon and evening, again, for the potential of tornadoes. we'll be watching all of that in this outflow boundary. tomorrow, the threat isn't as high. but it still exists. anywhere from virginia down through parts of northern florida. good morning. i'm mike nicco, free air conditioning gone for a couple of days. look at this, low to mid-70s at the coast, low to mid-80s around the bay, and low 80s to near 90 inland. it gets warmer tomorrow at the coast in the bay and >> all this weather has been brought to you by jared, the galleria of jewelers. george? there she is. emma stone is coming up live. she's here right now.

woah, this kitchen looks beautiful. hey mom! elcome hom! it's bigger! it's great, right? give him the tour. let me show you! quartz countertop, soft-close drawers, farm sink, under cabinet lighting, look at this spice rack. where's my room? right there where it's always been! we had to take just a little bit for the kitchen. just slide right in! because your kitchbig, ikea has it all.

well, when "the amazing spider-man 2," opens this friday, superfans looking for action sequences will not be disappointed. but the romantic at heart will also find a lot to love with scenes between peter parker and gwen stacy played by andrew garfield and emma stone. case in point. take a look. >> okay. i have a ground rule. >> what is it? >> don't tell me that i look amazing, with your big, brown,

doe eyes. >> oh, no. >> what? >> i just figured out the next ground rule. >> what? >> no more of this. >> what am i supposed to do? it's allergy season. >> this is killing me. come on. >> first, we'll get ice cream. and then, i'm out. >> we're excited to have emma stone here this morning. i heard that was your favorite scene. >> that is my favorite scene. >> we had andrew here yesterday. and i have to read to you what he said about you. he said, anyone who works with you gets a shot of sunshine. and one day he's going to write a book about how he feels about you. >> oh, no. >> thought i would warn you, in case you didn't see that. >> that's scary. >> the on-air chemistry is palpable. how did you feel about working with him? and really, it sets the movie apart from others. >> it's like a dream to work with him. he's -- i mean, he's obviously one of the greatest actors, i think, we have alive today. and he's also just a remarkable

human being. so, i love him very much. yeah. >> and you said when you looked at the script, and you went for your audition, you just knew you had to play gwen. what was it about her character that made you feel so impassioned? >> i think her arc in the comic books was so iconic and meaningful to comic book history. and i didn't know it before i auditioned. reading about it was just so tragic and beautiful. and auditioning with andrew and with marc webb, the director, it was kind of a no-brainer that i wanted to be part of it. >> and we talk about the love scenes. but you had some action scenes, as well. and i heard you have this phobia that started when you did that big lift with ryan gosling. >> my phobia doesn't extend to wires. i'm okay on rollercoasters. but i would never bungee jump. i think it's being physically held over somebody's head. >> and you turn to baking when

you have panic attacks about being lifted in the air? this is all news to me. did you bake at all on the set of "spider-man"? >> it wasn't like panic attack and bake a coffee cake. but i was in a phase of baking for quite a long time. >> luckily, that phase has passed. >> luckily. >> and i should mention that we have a lot of fans out there who want to ask you a ton of questions. so, we're going to take some social media now. we have from farah, who tweeted, what would be your advice to all of the girls who look up to you? >> oh, wow. >> a lofty one. >> you said this was going to be an easy morning. >> sorry. >> advice to all the girls. >> who look up to you. >> oh, man. i think, probably, part of what i'm trying to do is to be as -- i mean, wow. that's a really good question. >> you are a role model, though. >> i think authenticity is the most important thing. and remaining true to yourself,

despite any pressure from outside forces. and that's something that i struggle with, i think, as everybody can struggle with. and i just try to kind of follow my own path. >> well, you excel. and we know that you are very philanthropical. emma stone. thank you for joining us.
