using his own boat to rescue at least 70 people trapped by record rain and devastating floods in hawaii. >> we're just trying to get, you know, the most vulnerable people out of those low-lying areas. >> and now the new concerns this morning about more rain coming. and good morning, america. hope you all are well this thursday morning. welcome back, michael. >> thank you. it's good to be back, and back in time for your interview with those young men who were arrested at starbucks. >> donte and rashon. they haven't spoken until this morning and will tell their side of the story about what happened. it was just a week ago today, there at that starbucks in philadelphia. that's ahead. but first, we begin with the

latest on that deadly engine explosion on a southwest airlines flight. concerns are growing that other planes could be at risk. airlines are now speeding up inspections of their fleets. abc's david kerley is there in philadelphia with more. good morning, david. >> reporter: morning, robin. action this morning after that stunning engine failure and death. the faa says it's going to order inspections of higher use 737s. but that's a directive that's been debated and considered since last year after a similar incident also on a southwest aircraft. this morning, the faa taking action ready to order inspections of at least 220 jet engines after investigators say a broken fan blade caused the left engine to rip apart on that southwest flight. debris blowing out this window sucking passenger jennifer riordan partway out at 30,000 feet. she later died of her injuries of blunt force trauma. it was an emergency landing in philadelphia with parts of the aircraft found in at least three locations in pennsylvania. investigators examining that evidence this morning, along with the remnants of the shredded engine. a source telling abc news, this engine failure is similar to one

in 2016, also on a southwest aircraft. the fuselage damaged but not pierced. are you alarmed at this point that these two might be connected? >> well, i'm certainly alarmed that this happened here a couple of days ago. i'm very alarmed by that. and we want to find out what happened. >> reporter: this comes as we learn new details about what happened in those terrifying minutes on board. >> southwest 1380 has an engine fire, descending. >> reporter: as soon as that left engine was ripped apart, the jet banks severely to the left, more than 40 degrees. a normal steep bank is 25 degrees. for 20 minutes it's violently shaking, vibrating out of balance. the pilot worrying about keeping up their speed to have better control while landing, hitting the pavement at 190 miles per hour, 55 miles per hour faster than a normal landing. passengers praising the pilot and co-pilot for their quick thinking, as well as the ordinary men and women who

rushed to help their fellow passengers. texas ranch worker ted mcginty was sitting across from riordan. he rushed to hold her down. >> we got her pulled in. they tried to resuscitate her. >> reporter: andrew needham, a firefighter, ran over to help and administered cpr while mcginty blocked the window with his body. now, on these fan blade inspections, american airlines says it started last year when this order was being talked about. southwest says it is now in accelerated inspection mode as we speak. as we mentioned, robin, 220 engines was the estimate last year. there are more than 13,000 of these engines in service. we don't know how many they'll actually end up inspecting until we see that order in the next couple of weeks. >> we will see, david. thank you. michael? let's bring in our contributor, aviation expert steve ganyard and, colonel ganyard, thanks for joining us. this is such a scary story.

do the investigators know what's happening to these engines yet? >> michael, i think it's important for us to take a step back and think about where this problem is occurring. so, when you're getting ready to get on the airplane and you look at the front of that airplane, and you see those big blades at the front of the airplane and you see that sort of bullet nose, those blades are connected to a central spindle. where that connection occurs is where these cracks are occurring. but they're behind the blade so you can't look at them. they are so fine, so thin you can't really see them, so you have to get in with an ultrasound. really the same sort of technology that you look at a baby in utero with, and you have to do this inspection because you can't see it with your eye, but those cracks are causing blades to break off and cause these mishaps. >> so, you know, so you just said how they inspect with that with ultrasound and other ways to do it. but how often do they inspect these engines in this way because we all see on the flight the pilots walk around and look at the engines. they can't exactly expect them to see if there's a problem in this way.

how often do they inspect for this problem? >> that's right. the pilots walk around looking for big damage, like did we hit a bird on the last flight, or do we see chips in the blade? again, these problems are occurring and they're invisible to the naked eye and requires a special inspection in the maintenance facilities. >> now we know during an emergency we all see the oxygen masks being deployed. in some of the pictures from this flight, we see they have the masks over their mouth but not over their nose. why is that dangerous? >> michael, i think we're all guilty. we all fly a lot, and get on the plane and the flight attendants go through their safety brief, you know, pull out the card and look at this, and we all sort of tune that out. this is a good time to go back and say we need to listen to what the flight attendants say and they say put that mask over your nose and mouth because if you put it just over your mouth and breathing through your nose you're not getting the oxygen. you've got to have it over both so that you're getting the oxygen that's going to allow to you stay conscious as that crew descends the airplane down to lower altitudes where there's

more oxygen to breathe without supplementary. >> all right. thank you, colonel ganyard, sometimes just a small detail that help out over your mouth and nose. make sure we remember that. we're going to hear more from the family of that hero pilot who landed the plane safely. that's just ahead. george. >> she has quite a story. we're going to move on now to president trump and north korea. the president answered wide-ranging questions about his hopes for a meeting with kim jong-un. also left the door open to walk away from them if he doesn't get what he wants and jon karl is at mar-a-lago with the latest. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, george. president trump is predicting that his planned summit with kim jong-un will be an historic moment and maybe even something more than that. but he is also declaring that if talks aren't going well, he'll walk away. the president is sounding more and more eager to have his summit meeting with kim jong-un, and optimistic about ridding north korea of nuclear weapons. >> there is a bright path available to north korea when it

achieves de-nuclearization in a complete and verifiable, and irreversible way. it will be a great day for them. it will be a great day for the world. >> reporter: but standing next to japan's prime minister, the president vowed to drive a hard bargain, and the first rule of any good negotiation, you have got to be willing to walk away. >> we've never been in a position like this with that regime. i hope to have a very successful meeting. if we don't think it's going to be successful, mark, we won't have it. if the meeting when i'm there is not fruitful, i will respectfully leave. >> reporter: and he said there will be no backing down from the ultimate goal. >> we will not repeat the mistakes of previous administrations. our campaign of maximum pressure will continue until north korea de-nuclearizes. >> reporter: in a sign of the president's eagerness to have the meeting, he is not insisting

on preconditions. cia director mike pompeo made his secret easter weekend meeting to north korea to help set up the summit. but he returned without winning the release of three americans now being detained by north korea. >> we fought very hard to get otto warmbier back. we are likewise fighting very diligently to get the three american citizens back. i think there's a good chance of doing it. >> reporter: one of the thorniest issues now being discussed is where this summit will take place. the president said it won't be in the united states. he's looking at five different locations. i am told that north korea's been ruled out as a location and so has china, but the bottom line, george, is finding a place that is both secure and acceptable to both sides. it's no easy task. >> a place that the north koreans can fly without borrowing a plane. also a factor there as well. mike pompeo, the cia director who made that secret trip to

north korea, also the president's nominee for secretary of state, his confirmation process running into some turbulence. >> reporter: it sure is. it's not clear it's going to get out of the senate foreign relations committee with a positive vote because rand paul, a strong supporter of the president, says he is adamantly opposed to the pompeo nomination. now in response to a direct call from the president he has agreed to meet with pompeo, but says it will take a lot to get him to change his mind. >> right, but even if the senate foreign relations committee, jon, doesn't approve him he could still get approved on the floor of the senate. >> reporter: he can still get approved on the floor of the senate, george, but the republicans have a single vote majority right now, and all democrats right now are lined up against him. so this could be a very, very close vote. the white house is confident ultimately he will be confirmed, but it will be a nail-biter. >> jon karl, thanks very much. robin? all right, george. now to the deadly fires tearing across the southwest. at least two dozen burning this morning, scorching hundreds of

thousands of acres. rob is tracking them and a new storm system bringing more wind. >> more wind today. here's your fires, most across western oklahoma and the texas panhandle, where there's extreme drought including this fire that has burned nearly 300,000 acres, the ray fire. that's 500 square miles. it has taken out 50 homes, and a number of injuries and fatalities as well. the red cedar trees are explosive. they have a lot of sap and oil that just really causes them to explode when touched with flames. also in parts of the eastern colorado, el paso county seeing homes damaged and destroyed there and they're fighting those fires. here's the next storm that's coming in to the southwest. extreme fire conditions expected today across parts of arizona in through parts of new mexico. this eventually will be rain to oklahoma but today will be a critical day for sure. robin. >> all right. rob, thank you. michael. let's go to that massive power outage in puerto rico. residents facing the worst blackout since hurricane maria. take a look at this. the baseball stadium where the indians and twins played last night, is one of the only places with light. abc's victor oquendo has the latest and, victor, power is

slowly starting to come back? >> reporter: good morning, michael. crews worked through the night and officials now saying that power has been restored to 1.2 customers, but much of puerto rico is waking up in darkness yet again after the second major power outage in less than a week. this is the moment the power went out in puerto rico caught on camera by espn in a pregame major league baseball ceremony. this morning, much of puerto rico is waking up in darkness yet again. wednesday's blackout knocking out power to all of the island's 1.4 million customers, the latest setback for the u.s. territory still struggling to recover from hurricane maria seven months ago. the outage creating gridlock with street lights out, some puerto ricans jumping out of their cars to help direct traffic. transit workers helping passengers off a stalled train and these familiar scenes, cars lining up at gas stations, generators revving up. officials say an excavator accidentally downed a transmission line leading to the mass outage.

>> i have to make business to make the money to buy a generator, so it's getting more difficult if every week we got a power off. >> reporter: san juan's mayor saying the total power outage in puerto rico pinpoints the fact that we are still in a fragile state, and our electrical system is weak at best. officials said the outage would last 24 hours to 36 hours. the priority for crews restoring power to hospital, airports and water pumping systems followed by homes and businesses. and puerto rico's governor says he wants to cancel the contract with the subcontractor responsible for the outage. making matters even worse, hurricane season is just around the corner. the official start date is june 1st. george. >> it is back already. okay, victor, thanks. now to david copperfield taking the stand forced to publicly reveal how he performs one of his biggest tricks after a man was injured at a show and sued. abc's t.j. holmes here with the details. you have got it down, t.j.? >> i still don't know how they

pull a rabbit out of a hat but, in this case, david copperfield makes 13 people disappear on stage and reappear at the back of the room. well, because a man was injured after he disappeared, we now know exactly how this trick works and here's a hint, george, it's not magic. >> thank you so much. >> reporter: the world's most famous magician forced in a courtroom to pull back the curtain on one of his most famous tricks. david copperfield was grilled in a courtroom about what happened the night an audience member, gavin cox, was injured while participating in one of his illusions. >> you're not responsible to him? yes or no? >> i don't think we're responsible. >> did you know that mr. cox was injured during your illusion? >> no. >> reporter: cox says he was part of the vanishing crowd illusion where 13 members disappear from a cage suspended above the stage. then magically reappear at the back of the audience. cox says he was rushed off the stage and slipped and fell into a dark construction zone causing permanent brain damage.

copperfield's team was forced to reveal that, instead of actually disappearing, the people are actually rushed to a different location through a series of backstage passages and hotel corridors inside the mgm grand. >> what were you doing when you went that path, that particular night? did you run it? did you walk it? did you trot it? that's my question. >> fast walk. >> reporter: for his part, copperfield says he only found out cox was hurt after he sued the magician a year after the accident. >> am i correct, sir, that mr. cox was injured and you didn't know about it? >> i found out a year later when we were sued. >> when it happened, you didn't know about it, correct? >> correct. >> that was my question. >> reporter: mr. cox is suing for unspecified damages, he's suing copperfield, mgm and also the construction company. this is something, guys, that copperfield has performed for some ten years.

we don't know if he'll continue with it as part of the show since the secret is out. >> we'll wait and see. t.j., thank you. now to hawaii, record rainfall, flooding, devastating the islands. a famous surfer is coming to the rescue, laird hamilton helping save dozens of stranded people, and abc's whit johnson has the story. >> reporter: in kauai, more than two feet of rain in just 24 hours this week. a single day record. roads swallowed up. homes knocked off their foundations. the coast guard evacuating more than 340 people in some of the hardest-hit areas. this family on vacation shocked at the arrival of their big wave hero. professional surfer and kauai resident, laird hamilton. >> laird hamilton is pioneering the sport of riding huge waves. >> my husband was like, oh, my gosh, laird hamilton is coming to pick us up in a boat. >> this is pretty crazy. >> reporter: manning his own rescue boat with the help of locals, hamilton rescued at least 70 people, including the

group of more than a dozen young girls at a camp. friend and fellow pro surfer laila hurst is one of the organizers. >> it was awesome and the parents trusted him, and we all felt really safe. >> we're just trying to get, you know, the most vulnerable people out of those low-lying areas and obviously little girls, you know, in that situation needed -- they were taking priority. >> reporter: but the surfing icon getting emotional, talking about the scope of the devastation. what he calls the island's worst flooding in decades. >> the bottom line is, you know, first of all it's your life, and then after that, you know, you lose everything you've ever had and it's for real. >> reporter: hamilton uses the hawaiian word ohana which means family to describe the community there in kauai rallying together to help each other. more rain is expected today. flash flood watches remain in effect until tomorrow. robin. >> all right, whit, thank you. families so important to the hamilton family married to

gabrielle reece who used to play volleyball, and together they are trying to make a difference. they love the islands. >> so clear. >> it's not surprising at all that they're doing whatever they can to help. >> you know him you're really not surprised at all. we're going to go back over to rob, and rob, we heard whit say there's more rain coming to hawaii? >> yeah, we might have more scenes like this which we saw over the weekend. a number of factors coming together over the islands now including a trough deep moisture and those trade winds so flash flood watches remain up for all the islands, maybe drying out some tomorrow but the ground is saturated so very concerned. your local forecast 30 seconds away, but first, your windy cities brought to you by downy protect and refresh.

at st. maarten's episcopal church in houston. can we start with some drinks or water or something like that, you know, we had bottles of water with us, so, you know, we're fine. we're just waiting for a meeting. we will be out really quick type thing, and that was it. >> so approximately 4:35 you arrive for a 4:45 business meeting. according to 911 accounts, a call was placed at 4:37, approximately two minutes after you arrive to 911. what did you think when you saw police arrive, donte? >> it can't be for us. >> when they do approach you, what do they say and how do you react? >> well, initially, as soon as they approached us they just say we have to leave. there was no question of, you know, was there a problem here between you guys and a manager, you know, what happened. >> when you were arrested, did they tell you what you were being arrested for?

>> no, not at the time. we wasn't read any rights, nothing. just double locked handcuffs behind our back, and escorted out, put into a squad car. >> why do you both think that store manager called 911? >> well, robin, you're asking them to have an opinion about somebody else's intent. the facts speak for themselves. there's not a single witness that says that these young men were misbehaving in any way and you can see and hear that on the video. >> well, that video has been viewed almost 11 million times and part of it, donte, you can see that you're talking to the police officer. what were you all saying to one another? >> i was just trying to, you know, process the situation to myself at the time because i'm thinking about my family that i have, my community, so, in that moment, i'm trying to process what's going on because it

didn't really hit me what was going on that it was real until i'm being double locked and my hands behind my back. >> donte, did you at some point offer to call the person you were supposed to meet with? i know he's shown on the videotape. >> after the first time, you know, they walk over and they say you have to leave. i say, we're here for a meeting. >> what is the business meeting about? >> it's a real estate meeting. >> okay. >> we've been working on this for months. >> what do you say to some people who say rules are rules, that starbucks has a policy, you violated that policy. the police asked you repeatedly to leave and you didn't. how do you respond to people who say that? >> what i say is i understand that, rules are rules, but what's right is right and what's wrong is wrong, and that's in any situation, whether there's race involved or anything. >> robin, i'm sorry but what is that rule? starbucks holds itself open as a place for people to meet and to have public conversations. those are words from their

website. >> the ceo, kevin johnson, said he has met with you. can you divulge what you all discussed? >> we approached starbucks and suggested that we engage in mediation with a retired federal judge in philadelphia and they agreed to that proposal and we are still involved in that process. that process requires confidentiality. >> what do you want to see happen here, donte? >> i want to make sure that this situation doesn't happen again. so what i want is for a young man, or young men, to not be traumatized by this and instead motivated, inspired. >> and what do you want, rashon? >> so, you know, take this opportunity as a steppingstone,

you know, to really stand up and, you know, show your greatness and that you are not judged by the color of your skin as our ancestors were or anyone else. this is something that's been going on for years and everyone is blind to it but they know what's going on if you get what i mean. and, you know, just really taking those actions and putting them into place and help people understand that it's not just a black people thing. this is a people thing. and that's exactly what we want to see out of this and that's true change, so put action into place and stop using your words. >> we appreciate you using your words here with us this morning and this discussion and has to be more than dialogue as you said. it has to be action and we appreciate your willingness to be apart of that. mr. cohen, as well, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> we know starbucks has announced already that they plan to close 8,000 locations for an

afternoon of racial bias training. >> who hasn't spent two minutes waiting in a starbucks? >> two minutes. >> and i think when people hear that and the fact that he called the businessperson that they were going to meet. they were going to meet at 4:45. they got there ten minutes early. yes, he asked to use the restroom. he claims that he was never told that you had to leave. he just said that he was -- he said he was told you have to purchase something. but that being said, this is a moment where there has to be change. >> have they decided what kind of action they'll take? >> i did ask their lawyer, stewart cohen, if they planned on a civil suit of some suit against either starbucks or the city, and they said that's not what they're thinking about at this time. they want to be a part of the process. remember, kevin johnson, the ceo said that they wanted those gentlemen to be part of the process. they say they're still working that out and they were going to allow us, "gma," to follow along and follow up with them and see how that process plays out. >> fascinating story. >> and hopefully, you know, michael, come on.

>> two minutes. and as you said, he said in the piece actions, not just words, and i think that's what they're looking for, to see what they're looking for to see really a real change. not just with starbucks but i think with -- >> it's a societal issue. you just can't label it on starbucks. >> we'll stick with it all the way. >> we will. coming up next, an exclusive with the family of that hero pilot who is being praised for nerves of steel after safely landing that southwest jet when the engine exploded. exploded. the whole family can stay connected with new iphones. which is great... ...unless your parents thought you were studying. aren't exams this week? somebody's busted. so join t-mobile, buy an iphone 8, get an iphone 8 on us. all on america's best unlimited network. only at t-mobile. that have been fed non-gmo feed. that feels right. it does, right? right! riiigght! riiiggghttt! right on, man! right on...

we hope one day to meet her and to tell her thank you in person that she gave us another day to walk on this earth. >> reporter: these photos show her comforting passengers after she landed the plane. >> i would fly with her any time. >> i would compare her to sully. >> yeah. >> i really would. >> yeah. >> she's an american hero. >> reporter: the training shults got in the navy was not easy. shults trained on the f-18s at a time when female pilots were not allowed to fly combat missions. in a passage for the 2012 book "military fly moms," she spoke of her ambition to fly, recalling an early meeting with another female aviator. my heart jumped, shults said, girls did fly. i set to work trying to break into the club. >> she loves flying. she loves her job. and i believe tammie jo in a very short period will get right back into that cockpit. >> reporter: captain shults and her co-pilot on flight 1380

releasing a statement overnight saying, we all feel we were simply doing our jobs. our hearts are heavy. we appreciate the outpouring of support. and that is exactly what you would expect. neither considers themselves a hero and i can tell you, george, i have mutual friends with tammie jo and say all she's concerned about is the passengers and the woman who was killed. >> that black and white photo straight out of "top gun." >> straight out of "top gun." i can't tell you how difficult it was for the women back then. we all saw that movie, right? they welcomed women. those male aviators but not necessarily in the cockpit. it was a tough time. i love that atc audio when you hear her so calm and deliberate. she doesn't negotiate. she doesn't ask. she tells them what she needs and she gets it. >> showing leadership. in that cockpit. >> just like sully. >> exactly. >> all right, thank you so much, martha. we appreciate that. coming up, the great kate wait. i guess that's what we're

the faa has been working on it for a year since that 2016 incident but didn't make it official. now it says within the next two weeks, it's going to order that. now there are about 200 aircraft that it said would be affected. make that engines, could be two on the same aircraft and it could be as many as 13,000 that are out there. so we'll see whether the faa keeps it at that range, a narrow range of about 220 aircraft. the order should be coming in the coming days. >> looking to see if that happens. thanks so much. >> a lot to discover there. we move to a crackdown on robocalls that offer free travel deals that are too good to be true and lawmakers who get themf making millions of calls and our senior congressional correspondent, mary bruce, is on capitol hill with details. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, george. well, the man allegedly behind millions of these frustrating and annoying calls says they can easily be pulled off with just the click of a button. adrian abramovich insists he did

nothing wrong, but he is accused of making nearly hundred million fake calls in just three months. that's roughly 12 calls a second. now, he says this practice known as spoofing can be done by virtually anyone. well, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle here are now fed up. many are now pushing legislation that would require phone companies to offer new tools to help you block these pesky calls and as for abramovich, he now faces a proposed $120 million fine from the fcc. >> boy, that is steep. okay, mary, thanks very much. michael. >> thank you, george. now grandma to the rescue. a california grandmother was watching her 1-year-old granddaughter on the porch when she noticed something. take a look. >> oh, my god. the bear. oh. >> it is a bear. grandma missy, well, she leapt into action grabbing little blake and running to safety. she said the bear was less than ten feet away. everyone is fine. thank goodness everyone is fine

[ applause ] >> got to be kidding me. i can't believe you said it to your girls. >> not going to say it again. now to the "gma" cover story. we have a woman who says she was misdiagnosed by doctors because of her weight for years. rebecca hiles says she was body shamed and told her size was leading to her health problems but it turns out, she had cancer. >> oh, my gosh. >> reporter: 28-year-old rebecca hiles says for as long as she can remember doctors have responded to her medical complaints by telling her to lose weight.

>> it was very scary to sort of exist in a body that i thought was failing me and have medical professionals who didn't seem to take me seriously. >> reporter: when rebecca was 17, she says she came down with a bad case of bronchitis and walking pneumonia which her doctor treated her for but three years later she was still plagued with persistent coughing fits. >> by the end of it i had coughed up blood repeatedly. i shouldn't have to sleep in my shower every night because i can't breathe. >> reporter: rebecca says she was on a laundry list of medications. but nothing helped. she says that all changed when she met a doctor who looked past her weight and worked tirelessly to figure out what was wrong with her. rebecca credits that medical team for putting her on a path to receiving her shocking diagnosis. >> it was the first time in my life that i remember having a doctor take me seriously. the first moment i saw my surgeon who said you have

carcinoid cancer and the time i had surgery was two weeks. >> rebecca's story appearing in this recent article for "cosmopolitan" where author maya dusenberry said many are getting judged too quickly by their doctors. >> this tendency by health care providers to assume that any symptoms can be blamed on weight. everything from like a broken ankle to a sinus infection. >> reporter: research shows that fear of being fat shamed makes patients more reluctant to go to the doctor. according to a 2016 survey conducted by the women's heart alliance, 45% of women canceled or postponed appointments so they could shed some weight before having to get on the scale at the doctor's office. now six years since her surgery, rebecca says she's speaking out so that women are encouraged to become their own health advocates. >> had a diagnosis been made two years prior, had it been made when i was 20, maybe things would have been different.

>> and we wish her all the best. dr. jen ashton is here, of course. and how does this happen? >> robin, i have so much to say on this. it's such an important topic. i think let's distinguish patient side, physician side and what we can all do about it. from the patient's side it's really important to understand we make a medical assessment first visually. what does the patient look like? it is a fact that being overweight or obese does carry with it certain risks of other things. it is also a fact that you can have more than one thing going on at the same time. so you can be overweight or obese, have a cough, can have an infection and you can have lung cancer and i think that it's important for patients to understand that making a diagnosis is a very involved complex process but they also need to hold their health care provider accountable and if they are being made to feel you're not hearing me, express your feelings.that can totally turn the tables and give the patient more power. sometimes the provider needs a wake-up call.

they need to say, wow, you know what, i didn't realize i was being insensitive so they can shift gears and approach it in a productive and compassionate and sensitive manner. >> thank you for that. you are board certified in obesity medicine. what can we do? >> we have an onus of responsibility to understand what a patient is dealing with and there are physicians now who are trained in lgbtq patients and there are physicians who are board certified in dealing with overweight and obese patients. if you've been out in the field for a long time you are not up to speed on that, that can affect your ability to deliver good care so i think that that is really important. the other thing we need to remember is that a lot of patients don't realize there are ethnic, religious, racial, social, sexual aspects of a patient that do up their risk factors of certain things. when we point that out ideally we're not making a social judgment but a clinical observation but need to do that in a way that's effective and kind. >> compassionate. >> and as a society, we need to

drop this stigma because it is affecting the care that people get, and that can't continue. >> you are fired up about this. >> i sure am. whoo. >> i know. well, thank you. >> it's important. it's really, really important and we hate to hear women or anyone suffering like this. >> we do. let's get over to rob. rob. robin, good morning again, guys. you know, we have something for your "gma" moment that's for both cat lovers and if you're a cat hater, i suppose this works too. this is terry, the cat as in terry cloth who likes to play with the mop. he's playing with his owner and he just likes to hold on to the mop and there's nothing wrong with dual tasking. playing with your cat while cleaning the floor. the problem is you probably have to give the cat a bath after this, and as you all know, cats don't like water too much. that's from the uk where right now it's like 75 degrees, so they're enjoying some summer, enjoy the 40 something here in new york. good morning. i'm abc7 news meteorologist mike nicco. get ready for sunshine.

a little bit of a breeze, but definitely milder and dry. patchy fog, still a chill tonight and that summer spread's coming this weekend. today, it's breezy along the coast. that's why we're in the upper 50s to low 60s in san francisco, 64 to 66 around the bay, and then about 66 to 70 inland. you can see some of the patchy fog developing there in white, temperatures in the low to upper 40s. my accuweather seven-day forecast i should point out no animals including terry the cat were injured during the filming of that little "gma" moment. coming you, the stars o of "avengers," anthony mackie falcon, is here live.

good morning. i'm matt keller from "abc7 mornings." mountain view police are looking for this missing girl. her name is diana flores-leyva. police say the 11-year-old was last seen around 9:00 a.m. yesterday around el camino real and bay street, wearing a green sweatshirt with the word pink on it with a black backpack. if you know where she is, call police. looking at the roads, we're looking at sunshine already breaking through in san jose. highway 87 right around the airport, we've got typical stop-and-go traffic. and a quick check of drive times. if you're traveling westbound 80 between highway 4 and the maze, that should take you about 42 minutes, about 14 across the bay bridge into san francisco and southbound 101 from the city to sfo, you're in the yellow at 15 minutes. >> thanks, alexis.

we need to help more tocalifornians get ahead.d, that's why antonio villaraigosa brought both parties together to balance the state budget with record investments in public schools... and new career training programs. as mayor of la, he brought police and residents together to get illegal guns off the streets - and keep kids out of gangs, and on the right path. that's antonio villaraigosa. a governor for all of california.

good morning! the coolest morning this week behind us. now temperatures in the 40s and 50s, on our way to, well, the beginning of spring. all right, roads are going to be dry all day, a little breezy south of the bay bridge if you're on the water. temperatures rebounding today about four to six degrees warmer than yesterday. look at all the 80s this weekend, matt. >> beautiful! all right, we will have another abc7 news update in about 30 minutes, and as always, on our news app and abc7news.com. join us for "abc7 mornings" weekdays from 4:30 to 7:00. the news continues now with "good morning america." ♪ 24 karat magic in the air
