country was covered in snow and now with the rising temperatures, that and the rain causing some big problems. this morning in ohio, rising temperatures accelerating the melting. snow and ice on the move. in minnesota, the frozen chunks heaving ashore. residents say the cracking so violent, it sounds like explosions in the night. >> we wake up to these loud booms and it's like was that a gun or is it the lake? it's the lake. >> reporter: from louisville to pittsburgh, melting ice and rain creating dangerous flooding. look as the ohio river claims this parking lot. >> i've got a boat. i wouldn't want to be out there right now. i know that much. >> reporter: streets closed off now extensions of the river. residents fear the end may not be near. >> it's going to hit my house and we'll have to move out. >> reporter: the ohio river's flood stage near cincinnati is 52 feet, expected to crest well above that sunday. residents may be forced to evacuate before the weekend is over. >> into my basement yes shgs

it's creeping in. seeping through the foundation right now. >> reporter: look at this sinkhole in illinois. one road washed away by the floodwaters. we are likely to see more scenes like that as we go through the next couple of days. these red highlighted areas, those are rivers that are in flood stage and as we mentioned, cincinnati closing the floodgates for the first time since 2011. here's how these storms are going to progress. the moisture continues to move up the i-95 corridor starting out in some spots as sleet and freezing rain. we do have freezing rain advisories north of new york and around the boston area but quickly changing over to rain for a soggy saturday then the back side of this is going to be a little bit in the way of snow, winter storm warnings posted for parts of maine. here's the rainfall we expect throughout the day today. more on this a little bit later in the show and, of course that massive cyclone in the south pacific. >> from snow to rain to snow. rob, thanks for tracking it all for us this morning. now, the manhunt is intensifying in ferguson, missouri. the suspects who shot two officers at a protest this week are on the run right now and investigators are working around the clock tracking down leads.

our kendis gibson is in ferguson with the very latest on the search. hi, kendis. >> reporter: paula, good morning. the update we're getting from the county police chief saying they have no suspects. they are zero persons of interest but they do have plenty of leads. overnight ferguson very much on edge, showers dampening attendance at a late night vigil. >> we're not going nowhere until we start seeing some changes. >> reporter: but doing little to calm tensions in the st. louis suburb as a manhunt intensifies. this morning, county police scouring new images of wednesday night's shooting of two police officers from departments outside ferguson. [ gunfire ] footage gathered from many eyewitness phones, television crews and surveillance cameras rolling that night. >> during the shooting -- >> reporter: the two officers shot just steps from the ferguson police headquarters, the incident coming near the end of a protest. >> got an officer down. officer down. shots fired at their station. >> reporter: these recently released images showing police responding to their wounded colleagues.

the st. louis police chief now saying they know the direction those shots came from as his detectives dig through dozens of tips. >> i think we have a pretty good general idea of where we think the shots came from. >> reporter: the city reeling from the police shooting of unarmed teenager michael brown last august and a scathing report by the justice department finding racial bias dating back years in the small town. more than a half dozen city officials including the ferguson chief of police out of a job within the last week. this morning, the st. louis county police chief urging the community to come together to support the wounded officers and help in the search for the shooting suspect. last night we witnessed a fascinating scene right there at the doors of the police headquarters where protesters surrounded some police officers and you know what happened next there was a conversation. police officers and protesters carrying umbrellas. one officer lieutenant even admitting that he's been scared since last august.

baby step, dan. >> baby steps. peaceful dialogue. kendis, thank you. we're going to move on now to the riveting new video that came out overnight. look at these images from a body camera attached to one of the first responders pulling an 18-month-old out of a vehicle that had flipped over into an icy river in utah. they're calling her a miracle survivor, and here's abc's tai hernandez. >> pass her up. pass her up. >> reporter: the miraculous moment a toddler was rescued from a submerged vehicle that was sitting upside down for 14 hours. >> i'm not seeing any movement. >> reporter: every dramatic second caught on a first responder's camera. >> come on, baby. >> reporter: listen to the rescuer as he races up a rocky hill to bring 18-month-old lily groesbeck to the waiting ambulance. >> go, let's go. >> reporter: inside the race to get lily to breathe. >> suction. >> reporter: the rescuer handing lily to hospital staff giving every known detail about what happened. >> underwater. >> underwater. >> reporter: this morning lily is doing well, amazing after

being submerged in that car for 14 hours and happily singing with her dad. for "good morning america," tai hernandez, abc news, new york. >> and, wow, to see her singing with her dad after seeing her in that car in that terrible situation is extraordinary. >> so resilient, just speaks to the resiliency of toddlers. >> and we want to say that we are happy to have ryan smith in for ron today. we give ron a day off every now and then. >> that's right. >> great to have you here, ryan. >> great to be here. i can feel ron's presence. dan, paula, good morning. we begin with a major ice cream recall now linked to three deaths. texas-based ice cream giant blue bell has stopped production and distribution of several products linked to a deadly foodborne illness. five patients were treated at a kansas city hospital -- kansas hospital after eating ice cream products from blue bell's brenham, texas, headquarters. three of the patients do you. the fda is urging consumers to check your freezers. if you have any of these eight products in your home, do not eat the ice cream.

the state department temporarily shut down parts of its e-mail system after a massive security breach believed to have been linked to russian hackers. the planned outage is affecting parts of the department's unclassified computer network. the shutdown comes amidst the the hillary clinton e-mail scandal. the former secretary of state said earlier this week she believed her e-mails were archived by the department, but on friday the state department spokesman revealed that automatic e-mail archiving began just last month. and salvage efforts are under way for the black hawk helicopter that crashed in thick fog off the florida panhandle. one of the marines killed was staff sergeant andrew seif. he's seen here less than a week before the crash standing with his wife where he was awarded the silver star for combat valor. seif was one of seven marines killed in tuesday's crash along with four national guardsmen who have not yet been identified. and take a look at this wild police chase in british columbia last month. a man on a motorcycle speeds through the streets before

hitting inside a packed mall. take a look at this. he plunges down the elevator. the rider zooming through sliding glass doors narrowly right here missing a mom and her child. finally it's deja vu all over again in florida. take a look at this huge ten-foot gator on a leisurely stroll in the middle of a fairway. this is in palm harbor, that is on friday. >> that is a massive -- >> huge. not sure if he's a distant relative to this guy who some call the dinosaur who was earlier seen this week further south. he decided to crash the greens in inglewood, and just so you know, both times the golfers said let's take a break and let these guys play through. >> it's difficult like a par course mash -- maybe it's like -- >> exactly. >> rather than a sand trap you got to hit around the gators. >> through the gators and then make the shot. >> it's the trick shot. >> that's right. >> the trick shot. the risk your life shot. ryan, stand by. we want to talk to you about a big story we know you've been covering. >> yes, there's a big, new development in a riveting court case. two young girls at the center of it all, they are charged

with stabbing a classmate to please a fictional internet character called slenderman. well, now a judge has made a decision on whether they should be tried as adults, and, ryan, i know you have been following this case closely from the start. >> yes, and a big development. morgan geyser and anissa weier were just 12 years old when they were charged with attempted murder of their sixth grade classmate but yesterday in court still looking like children, a judge deciding the court should treat them like adults. they shuffled into a wisconsin courtroom, bound in handcuffs and leg irons. 12-year-old morgan geyser and 13-year-old anissa weier are accused of attempted first degree murder and this morning, their case will remain in adult court. >> the probable cause exists to believe that miss weier and miss geyser each attempted to kill her with the use of a dangerous weapon. >> reporter: authorities say last may they lured friend and sixth grade classmate payton leutner into the woods stabbing her 19 times and leaving her for

dead to please a fictional internet character, slenderman. after the hearing, the judge's decision weighing heavily on geyser's parents but for the victim's parents speaking exclusively with abc's david muir last september, their daughter payton's safety matters most. >> do you think they should be charged as adults? >> for me it's about making sure payton feels safe, that she can move on with the rest of her life. >> reporter: last month we heard from the girls for the first time, geyser telling police about the shadowy internet figure they say prompted their attack. >> who's slenderman? >> he's this tall, faceless man who preys on children. >> reporter: and weier telling them she feared for her life. >> he targets children most, and so i was really scared knowing that slenderman could easily kill my whole family in three seconds. >> reporter: but if convicted of the charges they face in adult court, both girls could face up to 65 years in prison.

that's a critical piece. now both girls now have separate hearings where they can argue once more to move the case to juvenile court. and, again, a big difference for these defendants. in adult court they're looking at up to 65 years in prison while in juvenile court a conviction would result in confinement until the age of 25. >> huge difference. >> yeah. >> ryan, thank you. we want to switch gears now to a fresh surprise from the pope, a man who's been shaking up the vatican for two years now. now he's saying that he might actually retire at some point rather than serving as pope until he dies, which is the tradition. he will be following in the unusual footsteps of his predecessor benedict and abc's david wright is on the story. >> reporter: in two quick years he's put a fresh face on this 2,000-year-old church, the soul of humanity in an institution not always known for it. but pope francis now says his days are numbered. [ speaking a foreign language ] "i have the feeling my pontificate will be brief." four or five years or two or three he told mexico's televisa.

francis points to the example set by his predecessor, the first pope in more than a thousand years to retire, saying that pope benedict should not be an exception but an institution. >> he was pretty vague about the timetable. he did not fix any deadlines. but he is 78 years old and i think there's a sense that the clock is ticking. >> reporter: it's not that he's sick of the job, but the 78-year-old pope jokes that he misses being able to go out in rome unrecognized for a pizza. [ speaking a foreign language ] >> reporter: still has work to do. francis has been busy retooling the message of the church focusing on poverty and social justice, reforming the church hierarchy too, and he's creating more cardinals, which could make a big difference in the conclave that eventually chooses his successor. we could eventually have two retired popes still living, plus a new pope, unprecedented. >> what if he does retire one day? i don't think he would be hidden

away in the vatican like pope benedict is. >> reporter: maybe then pope francis can finally enjoy his pizza. for "good morning america," david wright, abc news, new york. >> this is a man who has made so many changes in such a short period of time. and it's interesting watching his interview. i can't understand anything he says except for the word pizza. that i got. >> let him have his pizza. it would definitely be an interesting possibility. >> he's certained it. >> a couple of pizza, stuffed crust even. we do want to move now to a new kids eat right label that will soon be appearing on kraft singles, those individually wrapped slices of processed cheese. that label, you can see, is from the academy of nutrition and dietetics and it might be a little confusing because it looks like an endorsement but really it is not. so let's turn to dr. richard besser, so, rich, if it's not a seal of approval from the academy, exactly what is this? >> it's confusion is what it is, so the academy has a program called kids eat right, and it's

a website that gives tips on how to give your kids a nutritious diet, things that you can do. they entered into an agreement with kraft where kraft is helping support this. they're giving money to the academy to support this program and in exchange they get to put this label on their product. it looks, though, like the academy is endorsing the product and while processed cheese product slices can be part of a healthy diet, there's a lot of calcium and vitamin d there, they're also high in saturated fat and salt. you don't want to eat a lot of these. it's not a health food. >> so kraft is paying the academy. i want to read, a kraft spokesman tells abc news, "kraft and kids eat right will collaborate on a nutrition education campaign for three years to raise awareness of the diets of america's kids are lacking in three important components, dairy, calcium and vitamin d." but the label as you said is going to be hard to read if not impossible for parents to differentiate so what is the underlying lesson for parents? >> well, there's been a whole movement to try and clean up labels, make them easier to

understand, and if it turns out this is very confusing, it is something the federal trade commission can come in and say that label is inappropriate but when you're shopping, read the label very carefully. the idea is real food, and you'll find that around the store, around the outside of the store in particular, fresh fruits and vegetable, lean proteins, you want to limit the amount of processed food because that's where you see the added sugar, the added salt. doesn't mean you can't have any of it, but the idea of what's a healthy food, we've been trying to drill that into people, and i get very worried when there's something that could confuse the >> yes. >> -- picture. >> no matter how you slice it, this could be very confusing. dr. richard besser. >> you couldn't resist. >> i couldn't resist. >> a cheesy comment. >> on behalf of paula, i apologize. >> thank you. >> eat real food, though. such an important thing. >> it really is. yeah. >> rich, thank you. on a lighter note now we're going to talk about the royal baby countdown. a heavy pregnant -- a heavily pregnant duchess kate sporting navy as she joined her husband and the queen at an event to pay tribute to those who fought in afghanistan. paula is looking at me. i didn't mean to say she was heavy. i meant heavily pregnant. >> never say anything derogatory

about a pregnant woman. >> yes, i didn't mean it. >> she looks beautiful. >> i promise. abc's lama hasan has more now from kensington palace. lama, save me, please. >> reporter: good morning to you, dan. we're outside kensington palace this morning where kate has been spending the past couple of weeks because of her packed royal schedule, four events in the last week alone looking every bit like a royal yummy mummy. ♪ three generations of royals were out in full force to pay tribute to the british servicemen and women fighting in afghanistan. >> and we honor the faithfulness of all those who gave up their lives -- >> reporter: a somber day, punctuated with a little humor from the new guard, wills and kate seen exchanging a few chuckles, and doesn't she look swell? but take a look at this. the 8-month pregnant kate looks like she's clutching her bump sending royal reporters into a spin. could the unborn heir be giving

his momma a royal kicking? >> it was the first time we've actually seen her hold the baby bump, which was clearly kicking at that engagement at st. paul's so it was a fun moment. >> reporter: the heavily pregnant duchess is in the last stretch of her pregnancy before she puts her feet up and waits for baby cambridge number two to arrive. >> she's been out and about in engagements. in fact, in the last week or so she's been looking absolutely gorgeous in all the different outfits. it's been different maternity outfits she's been wearing but it's just her face, her smile, she seems absolutely glowing and ready to have a second baby. >> reporter: appearing at a number of events in the last couple of weeks hanging out with hubby at a service in westminster abbey, visiting an art exhibition and mingling with the "downton" cast, even venturing downstairs to meet the help earning her the title the duchess of "downton." and at every function, she rocks that pregnancy pretty well. while the duchess has a couple of high-profile events next week including a st. patrick's day parade before she bows out of

her royal duties for some deserved r&r and a bit of nesting. dan and paula. >> and we should say she's heavily pregnant but does not look heavy. she looks amazing. >> but you said she looks the way you look when you have indigestion. >> indigestion. it's true. i mean, i gained 50 pounds with all three of my pregnancies, so i went for it. >> look how well you bounce back always. >> thanks to spanx. all thanks to spanx. >> okay. >> rock solid. want to talk about a cyclone. this massive storm, incredible stuff and, unfortunately, we're starting to get the pictures now out of vanuatu in the south pacific. this was the equivalent of a category 5 hurricane plus that damaged this island nation. the capital has about 50,000 people. about 250,000 people in total and we're going to start to get reports, i'm sure, of confirmed fatalities as we go through time. this storm was just too, too strong and massive. look at this thing on a scale here with winds now equivalent

of a category 4 hurricane. a cyclone is the same thing as a hurricane just in the south pacific in the south of the equator, and there are four of these that are happening right now, but the most intense now heading towards new zealand, that general direction, is cyclone pam. meanwhile, across the west, 93 degrees in los angeles. a number of records broken yesterday. we'll have that again today, and the heat will i think continue tomorrow. actually it builds across parts of the west, into the 70s in denver, into the 70s, as well in kansas city and across much of the pacific northwest much needed rain there. they will take it for sure. that's a quick check.

them. >> reporter: the film also says miscavige was so worried cruise was being pulled away from the faith by nicole kidman that he and other church officials plotted ways to split them up. >> life after death is life after death. >> reporter: the film also takes aim at the founder of the religion, the science fiction writer l. ron hubbard. the filmmakers actively question his sanity. scientology which has explicitly and repeatedly denied all of these charges is fighting back hard with a series of online videos including one that personally attacks director alex gibney. >> he presented a one-sided and false diatribe that can scarcely be called journalism. alex gibney's hbo piece is textbook propaganda. >> reporter: this video also denies the existence of the hole and says these lavish buildings are, in fact, in the place where the hole allegedly exists. >> yes, this is the spot gibney portrays with ants crawling up a wall. >> reporter: scientology's attacks on the movie don't stop

there. the church is paying for google ads that redirect people who search for "going clear" to a church website which attacks critics as misfits, admitted perjurers, admitted liars and professional anti-scientologists and they've also taken out a full page ad in "the new york times." director alex gibney seems unfazed. >> i didn't expect the church to spend $250,000 denouncing the film, but it certainly brought the film to the attention of a lot of people, so i'm grateful for that. >> and the movie is out in select cities starting this weekend. it will air on hbo on march 29th. >> i'm very intrigued by that. thanks. coming up on "good morning america," double 007. why it's the case of the past meeting the present in a big reveal. all coming up. >> that was your morning riddle. >> that was, big riddle. that was, big riddle. smart sarah. seeking guidance. just like with your investments. that sets you apart.
