coming up. first we want to get to the weather. that major storm on the move. alerts spreading across 24 states this morning as that dangerous system brings tornadoes, heavy snow and flash flooding. ginger starts us off with the very latest. good morning, ginger. >> good morning, michael. this is an alarming image to wake up to if you're in atlanta or dothan, alabama. montgomery too. that's a tornado watch until noon. those storms firing into the low pressure system. severe thunder warning northwest of atlanta. this thing already brought 13 reported tornadoes. >> oh, god. get in the elevator. >> reporter: that is the moment severe storms blew through new orleans. >> you can't see that building. >> reporter: one of more than 60 reports of severe thunderstorms from louisiana to tennessee. trees littering the road in martinville, mississippi. >> golly. that's got to be a tornado. >> reporter: winds close to 60 miles per hour in nola dropping large hail, crushing cars. in pickens, mississippi, several homes shattered by a tornado. their neighbors hit with a twister too. in missouri up to six inches of snow. i-70 shut down near the missouri

river bridge, a pileup leaving a logjam of tractor trailers. across oklahoma, vehicle after vehicle ending up on the sides of the roads. this tanker sliding into a creek east of chickasha. the driver hospitalized but expected to recover. in texas, snowplows out in full force in wichita falls. the snow and cold diving as far south as el paso. we know this storm has the capability of creating tornadoes. who has to watch for that today? straight into the region, right along that florida/georgia state line, that's who could potentially see the highest risk of a tornado today but you could also see a damaging wind anywhere from orlando, so central florida right up the east coast. the i-95 corridor gets through it today into the early evening hours. if you're in charleston or raleigh, you're not out of the woods and have that line coming at you. 60 mile-per-hour winds that can take down power lines and certainly trees. cecilia? >> it'll be rough out there.

thank you. we turn to that historic victory for president trump in the impeachment trial. the senate acquitting him on both charges. this was a straight party line vote except for senator mitt romney who did something no politician has ever done before, voting to remove his own party's president from office. our senior national correspondent terry moran is there at the white house with the very latest. terry, president trump expected to take a victory lap just a few hours from now. >> reporter: he will. good morning, cecelia. the president holding a press conference at noon today. there was drama. mitt romney, in what he called a crime of conscious, enraged the white house. after months of fighting, the verdict is in. >> donald john trump, president of the united states, is not guilty as charged. the senate sitting as a court of impeachment stands adjourned.

appalling abuse of public trust. >> reporter: the president and the senator from utah have a tumultuous past and romney predicted his decision would bring swift retribution. >> i'm sure to hear abuse from the president and his supporters. >> reporter: he was right. donald trump jr. saying romney, the 2012 republican presidential nominee, should be expelled from the party. overnight the president tweeting, had failed presidential candidate mitt romney devoted the same energy and anger to defeating a faltering barack obama as he sanctimoniously does to me, he could have won the election. republicans have long argued that impeachment would play right into trump's hands in the next election. >> exoneration comes when president trump gets re-elected because the people of the united states are fed up with this crap. >> reporter: but democrats still insist the president's day of reckoning will come. >> my message is simple. don't lose hope. there is justice in this world and truth and right.

>> reporter: many democrats are demoralized. some are talking about continuing the investigations. jerry nadler wants to subpoena john bolton, president trump's former security advise and see what he has to say. >> many are saying that. okay, thank you, terry. we have new developments now in the coronavirus outbreak. cases are topping 28,000 worldwide and the death toll is nearing 600. now china, the center of the outbreak, is cracking down. ian pannell is in hong kong with more. good morning, ian. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, robin. a serious development in china with a senior official citing what she calls wartime conditions ordering a roundup of all infected patients and those they've come in contact with sent to quarantine camps in wuhan. haunting images from that city that's home to millions show it's almost totally deserted. meanwhile it looks as though

this small window of freedom that was opening up in china over this crisis is now beginning to close. over the last few weeks we've seen highly unusual public criticism of the government's mishandling of the outbreak being tolerated but now some of those online articles are simply disappearing. at camps on the social media platform chats are being suspended and medical sources have told us they've been instructed not to do interviews and phone calls from hospitals are being monitored. michael? >> thank you for that, ian. hundreds of americans are evacuating from china heading to one of five military facilities in california, texas and nebraska. will carr is at one of them. he's there at travis air force base near sacramento with more. good morning, will. >> reporter: michael, with those cases of coronavirus surging there's now set to be two more planes of americans packed with americans. they will be monitored every step of the way and go into

quarantine for at least two weeks. this morning, hundreds of americans in wuhan ground zero for the novel coronavirus are stuck, all waiting to board the plane back to the united states. >> they told us that we have a mandatory 14-day quarantine. >> reporter: sergio mccrae from virginia has been teaching in wuhan for six years. he decided to evacuate because of the conditions. wuhan once a transportation hub in central china is now deserted. these images show the streets, bridges and the airport. with the city on lockdown, wuhan has turned into a ghost town. >> they are trying their best to make sure people aren't spreading this. it does make one feel a bit trapped. >> reporter: yu len, a resident and passenger on a recent flight is grateful for the state department's evacuation as well as the food and resources on his flight back. he's now quarantined stateside. >> right now it starts to look bad, i think because the medical resources are so overwhelmed. medical staff from all over the country coming to help. >> reporter: overnight here in the u.s., three adults and one child who just arrived from

china were all hospitalized with a fever or a cough. they're now under observation in san diego. this comes as a 12th american just tested positive for the virus. the latest in wisconsin. so far two of those infected caught the virus from a spouse. the rest brought the back from china. cdc says the virus is most likely spreading when someone sneezes or coughs. >> can somebody spread the virus without showing symptoms? >> is it possible? yes, we do not think this is driving the outbreak. this is an emerging virus and so we're still learning more and more every day. >> reporter: the cruise ship off the coast of japan carrying more than 3,500 people confirmed ten more passengers tested positive including two americans. roger and kerry, an american couple, are on the ship quarantined in their rooms. >> we have no interaction with any other guests. so we're just opening up our door to get breakfast, lunch and dinner. >> reporter: japan is already on edge.

with just six months to go before the summer olympics in tokyo, local media is reporting the chief executive of the games admits they're, quote, extremely worried about the virus' impact on the olympics. as for the next round of americans coming back to the united states from china, they're set to go to military bray sises in san attorney, texas and omaha, nebraska. cecilia. >> okay, will, thank you very much. we turn to the race for the white house. the new hampshire primary just five days away but the results from those bungled iowa caucuses are still shaking up the race. more results now in. take a look at this. the gap tightening between pete buttigieg and bernie sanders. elizabeth warren solidly in third place and joe biden right there in fourth. this all sets the stage for our debate tomorrow night and whit johnson is right there in manchester with the very latest. good morning, whit. >> reporter: cecilia, good morning to you. it is a slow, agonizing drip of results from iowa. the top two candidates here still trying to seize their moment and for joe biden, a

clear strategy shift, ready to fight here in new hampshire. overnight, new returns trickling in from the iowa caucus show pete buttigieg and senator bernie sanders locked neck and neck for first with nearly all precincts reporting just a fraction of a percentage point separates the two candidates. >> i don't think most people thought we'd get anywhere close to this point. >> reporter: on the trail in new hampshire, the former mayor of south bend, indiana, says his big finish is further proof voters want to leave the politics of the past. >> how do you think you were able to outperform other moderates in the race like joe biden? >> i think the key is to focus on the future and a desire to win and every time my party has won in the last half century it's been with a candidate focussed on the future and opening the door for the future generation. >> reporter: sanders' campaign claims when all the votes are counted they'll take top prize in iowa. >> we are winning the popular vote. >> reporter: writing in an email to supporters that the senator has a viable path forward to achieve a clean sweep and retake the lead in state delegate equivalents and national pledged

delegates. what is clear from the results, disappointment for former vice president joe biden coming in fourth. >> i am not going to sugar coat it. we took a gut punch in iowa. >> reporter: biden now on the attack swinging at sanders, a self-proclaimed democratic socialist. >> if senator sanders is the nominee for the party, every democrat in america up and down the ballot will have to carry the label senator sanders has chosen for himself. >> reporter: biden also hitting buttigieg on his experience. >> for this party to nominate someone who's never held an office higher than mayor of a town of 100,000 people in indiana, i do believe it's a risk. >> reporter: joe biden will have another major test here in the new hampshire primary. senator bernie sanders is leading in recent statewide polls. he's from a neighboring state and four years ago he won big here over hillary clinton. cecilia? >> it's basically his home turf for him. whit, thank you. as we said tomorrow night our abc news debate, the final

american who grew up poor in new york state but hit the silver screen in the 1940s and never looked back. >> dark has a light of its own. >> reporter: appearing in more than 80 films throughout his life, including "champion" for which he received his first oscar nomination. his third nomination would be for his turn as vincent van gogh in "lust for life." in addition to starring in popular films like "20,000 leagues under the sea," he would be known for his chiseled good looks and tough guy persona. he relished his work as he told "gma." >> if there is a secret, it's enthusiasm. as long as you enjoy doing what you're doing and it's exciting, you want to keep doing it. >> reporter: his impact on hollywood measured not just in front of the camera but also behind it starting his own production company in 1955 which hired a number of writers blacklisted at the start of the

cold war. following his stroke in 1996, douglas famously accepting the lifetime achievement award at the academy awards. >> i am proud to be a part of hollywood for 50 years, but this is for my wife anne. i love you. [ applause ] >> reporter: the couple had four children including michael who would famously follow in his dad's footsteps and frequently talked about his admiration for the man he simply called dad. >> dad's history was that his father was not there, and then the one thing that he wanted to make sure that he did was to make that effort for his sons and then -- >> michael, you're going to make me cry. >> well, don't do that. >> and kirk's daughter-in-law catherine zeta-jones sharing

this is definitely something families need to watch. >> i cannot sugar coat this. stra. what i saw was stomach churning and disturbing and dare i say you need to see it too. parent, you've been warned for years about the dangers of online predators but what this organization and this woman are now able to show us uniquely is the methods that predators use in realtime to actually groom a child and we see how quickly they deploy those methods. you're watching as sloane, a 37-year-old suburban mom transforms herself to pose as an underage girl online. for her safety we won't show you her face or give you her real name. what are you hoping parents are going to take from your work? >> lots of parents might say, well, my kid would never post anything remotely salacious. what we've been able to demonstrate with these is that regardless of how innocuous it might be they're still susceptible to being targeted. >> sloane is the head of a special research project at bark, an online monitoring service that works with various

schools and parents to track kids' social media use. >> children are being methodically groomed. it's not just a random occurrence. >> no matter where your children are, predators are going to go to. it's increased dramatically and we can't arrest our way out of our problem. >> "gma" going behind the scenes with the bark special project's team as they set up off site. >> so we're going to address these two rooms. >> reporter: sloane and the team create online personas for a 11-year-old and 15-year-old dressing up bedrooms, graphic artists taking photos and photoshopping sloane, computers and phones set up with accounts on instagram and kik. >> a coffee cup, puppy, flowers, normal just teen and tween expressions. >> reporter: the teen goes live at 7:00 p.m. >> what usually happens? >> they're testing the waters to the full-blown explicit content is astounding and stomach turning. >> reporter: an hour after posting sloane checks

15-year-old libby's kik account. >> given him every opportunity to stop. >> we never want to get to the point where we're toeing the line of entrapment. >> receives an explicit nude photo. >> i imagine being a 15-year-old and not really knowing what's going on. it's something that these people seem to really know how to exploit. >> reporter: just a few minutes later on instagram. >> tell me what's happening. >> he wants a live photo. >> a dare to send a selfie. >> mind-boggling. then a request for a revealing photo. and later, a conversation turns explicit. what? keep in mind, this teen is only posting innocent smiley emojis. now what happens on the 11-year-old account is even more disturbing. someone claiming to be 26 sends a photo. >> are you happy, pretty girl? >> reporter: then texts you owe me more requesting a revealing photo from her. sloane sends a nonexplicit picture.

>> what happened? >> he wants a replay. >> what? >> because i did a disappearing image. >> this time he'll be able to keep the image. >> that's right. >> up to ten messages. you haven't sent a word. >> this language is indicative of someone grooming. i don't warrant to share you. that is just really controlling language and just as a reminder, he started talking to her a half hour ago. >> so you are reminding him of your age. >> that's right. >> you're giving -- >> i'm in sixth grade. but he's doubling down. don't show anyone else, okay? >> bark turns over reports of potential child predators to the national center for missing & exploited children. >> we work with law enforcement to address these issues that are sometimes very urgent. >> i'm an adult and it's upsetting to me. it's traumatizing to me and then i put myself in the shoes of an 11-year-old that doesn't have the tools to cope, doesn't have someone to talk to that's devastating. >> we all go to work and have good day, bad days. what is a good day at work for you?

>> if we can be a part of eradicating child sex abuse through awareness, making platforms safer, that's a good day at the office. >> look, it's not specific to any one social media platform. it was instagram and kik here. they say they refer all types of conversations to the proper folks. so it can be any platform but what we saw, they start with you're so pretty. you should be a model. do you take pictures? do your parents let you have a boyfriend? want me to be your instagram -- it starts and starts immediately. i watched as soon as a post goes up, here come the messages and, again, the young lady who was blurred out there, the next day i saw her she was just in tears, this is overwhelming and emotional stuff to see what is happening to our children online. >> got to pay attention to your kids' online accounts. >> know what they're doing. don't let them have the phones in the bedroom at night will help a lot. >> thanks, t.j. >> wow. >> you got it, guys. now over to ginger.

because i never intended to become a movie star. my aim in life was always to become a big star on the stage, so since i haven't succeeded in that in a sense i'm a failure. i mean coming into movies was a by-product. i mean the first time someone asked me to come out to test for a movie, i was shocked and i was always going back -- for several years to go back to do a flop then come back and do movies then finally i started, you know, doing movies. i guess, yeah, i guess the fact that, you know, like a baseball player, you know, if you can last 10, 20 or in movies 30 years, you know, i guess that means you're a movie actor. >> reporter: returning to "gma" in 1982, telling david hartman about the experience of being a movie star. >> but, you see, this is a nice feeling sometimes because people who have seen you often in movies, it's a wonderful feeling when they greet you like they know you well. >> reporter: how he stayed on

top in hollywood. >> what's the secret to survival? you have been working at the top, top of this business of yours for a lot of years, kirk, and you keep doing it. >> i think seriously, david, if there is any secret, it's enthusiasm. as long as you enjoy doing what you're doing. >> "the l.a. times" republished a column that he wrote to celebrate his 60th wedding anniversary with his wife anne that's getting so much reaction. he wrote when a friend asked him, kirk, why did your marriage last so long. he said, that's easy. i just told my wife, if you ever leave me, i'm going with you. a great read. i highly recommend you check it out. celebrated life. >> very much so. thank you for sharing that. coming up, tory is back with great "deals & steals." great "deals & steals."
