there she is right now. but whit johnson starts us off outside the manhattan hospital where one of the victims is being treated. good morning, whit. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. what we're seeing here is the extraordinary ripple effect associated with this virus. this one patient at this new york hospital impacting hundreds of other people. health officials are now scrambling to get a grip on multiple outbreaks from coast to coast. this morning, california declaring a state of emergency following the state's first death in the coronavirus outbreak. health officials revealing an elderly patient died after being exposed during a cruise last month from san francisco to mexico. that ship, the "grand princess," is now on another voyage carrying new passengers along with some of the same guests from the february cruise. overnight california's governor confirming those 62 passengers are being isolated in their cabins. some complaining of flu-like symptoms. later today officials say the coast guard will be flying testing kits to the ship. >> this ship will not come on

shore until we appropriately assess the passengers. >> they just told us because of the virus that we were going back to san francisco and because of the scare, that events were going to be shut down, but everything else is business as usual. >> reporter: across the country the number of americans infected climbing to more than 161. at least 11 deaths. but vice president mike pence attempting to reduce the nation's growing fears. >> if you are a healthy american, the risk of contracting the coronavirus remains low. >> reporter: los angeles county declaring a local emergency now reporting six new cases including a health care worker who was screening passengers at l.a.x. two new cases announced in new york city this morning bringing the state's total to 13. 1,000 people ordered into self-quarantine. >> there are going to be hundreds. >> reporter: most connected to a single patient. a 50-year-old man now hospitalized in critical but stable condition who was a regular commuter on the train to

grand central station. his immediate family now infected along with another family he came into contact with. in washington state families who have loved ones in the life care center nursing home where six residents have died from covid-19 are scared and angry. >> we try and visit as much as we can. >> reporter: kaylee hartung sitting down with kevin connolly whose father-in-law is a patient. >> how is jerry describing what's going on inside that facility right now? >> he's not. there's confusion. there's a complete lack of information to the families and to the residents. >> reporter: also in washington, king county is setting up a temporary quarantine village with modular homes in the middle of a neighborhood. >> that's some scary stuff for me. this is close to home. so, yes, i have a concern about it. >> reporter: overnight facebook announcing it will be closing its seattle office and recommending all employees work from home. amazon echoing similar

statements telling employees in seattle to work from home through the end of the month. we're also seeing swift reaction in the airline industry. major carriers are reducing their flight schedules as demand drops and the international air transport association now says the coronavirus could result in $113 billion in industry losses. robin? >> okay, whit. thousands of new cases of coronavirus have been reported overseas in the last 24 hours. italy as we know hit especially hard by the outbreak. now that country is on virtual lockdown. james longman just returned from italy and has more. good morning, james. >> reporter: good morning, robin. this is a major step-up in italy. all schools are closed across the country until march 15th. these are the most drastic measures to contain the virus in europe. there are now school closures of some kind in 22 countries across three continents. warnings that the united states may take similar precautions and we're now talking about something like 300 million students around the world

possibly facing disruption. the united nations is warning about an unparalleled scale and speed of educational disruption. italy is also banning fans from attending sporting events. they'll still go on, just to empty stadiums. more than 3,000 cases have been confirmed in italy with more than 100 deaths. in paris the louvre is back open but with new guidelines to make museum staff feel safer. they'll no longer have to physically restrain large crowds we often at the famous "mona lisa." there will be frequent breaks for hand washing. even though there is no evidence the bug can travel on bank notes, employees will only take credit cards as a farm of payment. there are so many changes for so many people because of all this. amy? >> thank you. so many questions. so let's bring in dr. jennifer ashton and, jen, scientists in china are now saying they've identified a second strain of this virus. what does that mean? >> so it was a very small report coming out of china that identified two strains of this coronavirus. i want to you think of this just

as we know there are multiple strains of the influenza virus. it does not mean that there's been any mutation or change. it just means one is circulating more commonly than the other. one appears to be more highly transmissible but doesn't mean more severe and we still don't know what is circulating in the u.s. >> speaking of the severity the world health organization, as you know, says the mortality rate from the coronavirus is now at 3.4% and that's higher than the initial 2% estimate. what do you make of all that? >> we've said this from the beginning. i caution people not to hang their hat on any given number. this is a dynamic and evolving situation. we're collecting data by the hour and that mortality rate depends on the denominator, on how many people are truly infected and that number is still unknown. >> when we're hearing about the deaths we often hear they had an underlying medical condition. what types of conditions are we talking about? >> again, the published case reports for this strain and the deaths associated with

coronavirus is just still coming out but in general we're talking about things like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, some form of cancer, anything that weakens your immune system, chronic medical conditions and there are a lot of people living with chronic medical conditions. >> certainly are. do we know how long the virus lives on surfaces? do we know that yet? >> that's probably the most popular question i've been getting in the last 24 hours. that's unknown. people are looking at that but a recent study showed in hospital rooms 87% of room surfaces and 60% of bathroom surfaces contain this virus before cleaning, and after cleaning and disinfection those rates went way, way down. that's why you want to clean those hot spots. >> very important information. still a lot of questions out there and you're here to answer them. you can send in your questions for dr. jen on facebook, twitter and instagram, all morning with the #askgma. she and her team will answer some live actually in our next half hour. george? >> okay, amy, thanks. the race for the white house and new momentum for joe biden after his massive comeback on super tuesday.

so far he's won ten states to three for bernie sanders who is also leading in california. but biden now has the endorsement of mike bloomberg and his machine and elizabeth warren expected to leave the race next. mary bruce is tracking all the latest. good morning, mary. >> good morning, george. joe biden continues to rack up the endorsements and it is clear he has the momentum in this race. the question now, can he keep it going? this morning, joe biden is looking to build on his super tuesday comeback. >> we welcome all those who want to join us. all those who want to join us and to build a movement. >> reporter: biden wednesday picking up another key endorsement with the exit of michael bloomberg. >> i'm glad to say i endorse joe biden. >> reporter: bloomberg is vowing his support and big checkbook to help biden take down president trump. >> our campaign for a better america, a stronger america, a more just america, a more equal america and a more united america continues. and together we will get it done. >> reporter: biden is fending off accusations that his backers

are ganging up on bernie sanders. >> is the establishment trying to beat bernie sanders, mr. vice president? >> the establishment are all those hard working middle class people and those african-americans, those single women in suburbia. they're the establishment. >> reporter: with the democratic establishment consolidating behind biden, sanders released this glowing ad featuring president barack obama heaping praise on sanders in what could easily be confused for an endorsement. but obama has yet to make a move. >> they want honest leadership who cares about them. they want somebody who will fight for them and they will find it in bernie. that's right. feel the bern. >> reporter: this morning all eyes on elizabeth warren after her disappointing super tuesday. questions growing about whether her struggling campaign can survive. >> she has run a strong campaign. she will make her own decision in her own time. >> reporter: warren's team this morning says she's taking time to reassess. now, bernie sanders, of course, hoping to pick up warren's

endorsement as he tries to consolidate progressive voters. >> we still don't know how elizabeth warren will get out, when she will get out and who she will endorse. >> just because bernie sanders and elizabeth warren are both progressive it is not automatic that her supporters will back bernie. we have talked to some warren's supporters who see joe biden's momentum. they see his strength with african-american voters and tell us they'd back biden instead. >> mary bruce, thanks very much. chief justice john roberts issued a rare rebuke of chuck schumer for saying president trump's two nominees for the supreme court will, quote, pay the price if they vote against abortion rights in a case now before them. roberts called schumer's comments dangerous, a point echoed by the president and his supporters but democrats called out the chief justice for failing to issue a similar rebuke when president trump singled out ruth bader ginsburg and sonia sotomayor for criticism. robin? we're going to turn now to the search for survivors after those deadly tornados hit tennessee. we know one of them was an ef-4 with winds reaching 175 miles

per hour. victor oquendo is in putnam county, tennessee, with much more on all this. good morning, victor. >> reporter: good morning, robin. they took the brunt of that ef-4 right here. homes were blown away, shredded, reduced to piles of debris and rubble. of the 25 people who died across middle tennessee, 18 of them were right here in putnam county and as you take a look from above, you'll understand why. this neighborhood was decimated. 360-degree devastation. there is nothing left and there are still people missing. this morning, an urgent search for the missing after at least two devastating tornadoes in tennessee claimed the lives of at least 25 people. >> it's horrifying. >> reporter: these exclusive new thermal images from a drone police are using to help find those who might still be trapped in the rubble. >> i've done a lot of these since hurricane katrina, hurricanes and tornadoes, and this is probably one of the worst scenes i've seen.

>> grandson, youngest, my son-in-law and their baby-s baby-sitter. >> i'm so sorry. >> both my nephews lost their parents in one night, one storm killed them both. >> reporter: lamar redmond losing his sister and brother-in-law, kathy and keith selby. >> this is the front porch and beyond that porch was the home itself. >> it's gone. >> it's completely gone. >> reporter: the youngest victim just 2 years old. sawyer kimberland died along with his parents josh and erin but amid is tragedy, harrowing stories of survival. >> if we hadn't had woken up we'd be gone. there's no way we would be here. i woke my wife up and we just took off running down to the basement. >> reporter: 73-year-old jean gregory's husband frank using himself as a human shield to protect her. >> so he came in and he drug me off the bed and threw me on the floor and got on top of me and we rode it out. >> reporter: that couple somehow lucky enough to walk away without a scratch. search crews will be out again later this morning. the way one neighbor put it, life as they knew it here is

gone. robin? >> all right, victor. the region is facing another severe weather threat today and rob back from tennessee has the latest. good morning, rob. good morning, robin. luckily what came through yesterday wasn't a repeat of what went through tennessee but still damage across parts of mississippi. this is canton, mississippi, and they're sending a survey team to see if this was a tornado. certainly looks like winds strong enough for that. here's a low causing all the headache. motoring down i-10 and the severe weather threat will be from tallahassee up through southern georgia. then later on today jacksonville through savannah. damaging winds, a few tornadoes possible and large hail before it moves off on friday. there is a flood component to this. we'll talk more about that in a bit. amy, over to you. >> rob, thank you very much. now to alex trebek's emotional and inspiring message one year after his pancreatic cancer diagnosis. he's talking about what is helping him move forward as he keeps beating those odds. janai norman is here with more on that. good morning, janai. >> amy, good morning. alex trebek proudly announcing he's happy to have reached a

one-year mark after his diagnosis offering so much inspiration as he said other cancer survivors have inspired him throughout this fight. >> here he is, the host of "jeopardy," alex trebek. >> reporter: one year after telling the world he was fighting for his life, alex trebek is sharing an update on his battle with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. >> now, i'd be lying if i said the journey had been an easy one. there were some good days, but a lot of not so good days. >> reporter: the 79-year-old television staple beating the dire one-year survival odds of just 18% revealing how difficult his chemo treatments have been. >> there were moments of great pain and sudden massive attacks of great depression that made me wonder if it really was worth fighting on. but i brushed that aside quickly because that would have been a massive betrayal, a betrayal of my wife and soulmate jean who has given her all to help me

survive. it would have been a betrayal of other cancer patients who have looked to me as an inspiration and a cheerleader of sorts of the value of living and hope. it would certainly have been a betrayal of my faith in god and the millions of prayers that had been said on my behalf. >> reporter: but despite the struggle, the emmy winning host hasn't missed a single day of "jeopardy," a job he's performed for more than three decades. now delivering this poignant message. >> you know something, if i -- no, if we -- because so many of us are involved in this same situation, if we take it just one day at a time with a positive attitude, anything is possible. >> and trebek says his oncologist told him the two-year survival rate is just 7% but he's confident this time next year he'll be celebrating that next major milestone. and, robin, when he was here in may you thanked him for sharing his story and how many people he's helping by doing so now

offering so much hope, so much inspiration. those are really tough numbers to be up against. >> they really are, but i love how he said we. so inclusive. >> what a great attitude. thanks, janai. we are following a lot of other stories this morning. coming up next our exclusive with nik wallenda after his death-defying walk over the masaya volcano. he's going to tell us what he thought as his wife dangled from her teeth above the lava. dr. jen ashton will be back. she's here with our medical team answering all your questions about coronavirus this morning. and the new concerns about hoarding of supply, emptying shelves at retailers. how much do you really need to be prepared? we'll discuss that but first back to rob. we talked about the winds and we've seen what the tornados have done but there's a water component as well and these areas have seen a tremendous amount of rain for february and in this last round, three, four inches across southern georgia. you're looking for more rain, one to two hitches. flooding likely into south carolina. time for your warm cities brought to you by amazon prime.

over that volcano, that was full of suspense and drama. nik wallenda stepping into history becoming the first person to ever cross a wire above an active volcano. >> oh, my gosh. >> reporter: live in prime time his aerialist wife erendira the opening act. nik watching from the edge of the crater with pride as she hung by her teeth. >> what a sight. >> reporter: with his wife back on solid ground, it was time for nik to take his first steps in the thick fog 1,800 feet off the ground. wearing goggles and a mask to fight the masaya's toxic gases, enveloped by the plume of sulfuric acid, you can only see him with a thermal camera showing his heat signature. >> it's a storm. pretty amazing. >> reporter: a heart-stopping moment seven minutes in. >> the cable was just around my neck. >> reporter: but he stayed calm as he crossed the most dangerous part of the walk right above

that 2,000-degree lava. >> whoo, the gas moving under me. >> reporter: 30 minutes into his feat, drenched in sweat, the final step. >> death was defeated. >> what goes through your mind when you're watching the love of your life 1,800 feet away? >> it's funny, i was watching him on the big screen and i could see the stress in his face and i was like, i'm sorry, i can't -- i told my in-laws i can't watch that. >> my dad's mic was open so i heard you saying all of that. >> i'm sorry. >> i was like, oh, i guess i should smile, but i got a mask on and you couldn't see it anyway. >> what does it mean to be surrounded by your family during this? >> i couldn't do it without them. this is all about family legacy and family history and inspiring people that nothing is impossible. >> reporter: speaking with wallenda's family after the event i asked his dad what he might want to say to his son. he said i love him and i'm proud of him. what better thing for a son to hear. i'm just the narrator of this story. why don't we hear from the hero

of the whole thing, nik wallenda joining us live on "gma," guys. >> will, thank you. nik, it is so good to see you this morning. many folks want to know how are you feeling this morning? >> i'm feeling relieved, absolutely a lot of stress, a lot of nerves, a lot of anxiety that leads up to an event ike this. >> i'll bet but take us inside your heart and mind as you finally stepped off that wire. >> again, just a huge feeling of relief. this has been something i've wanted to do for a long time and we've had so many hurdles and so many setbacks really even over the last couple of weeks that caused me to lose sleep. i haven't slept a lot in the last 2 1/2 weeks because of this event so to be honest i thought i can finally relax a little bit. >> you were facing so much in this walk. the acid gas, the fog, the extra weight that you had to carry. there were wind gusts and updrafts. what was the biggest challenge you had throughout it all?

>> you know, the gases were thick and very -- they actually caused my eyes to wander a bit. there were points where i wasn't able to focus enough on the cable which throws of your equilibrium. but i will tell you the winds were shockingly bad. there was a point i took a step and the winds were so strong in my face it pushed me backwards and thought i would have to step backwards. so, again, we knew there were a lot of things we couldn't predict but the winds were much worse than i expected. >> you, nik, stood where no one ever has and maybe no one ever will again. it was wonderful to hear -- you're a spiritual person and you were praying as you were going across the wire. were you able to take in the moment? i know you had a task at hand but could you take in where you were? >> i could actually and at the top of the walk actually as i was walking i was really able to take it in. the wire was very stable and the gases were thin at the very beginning and the very end of the walk.

so it was pretty mesmerizing to be honest with you. i mean, it is indescribable to explain the lava flowing below and the look of that and the heat that came with it and, again, those gases, it's hard to put it into words. >> how about erendira's incredible aerial ballet? i can imagine you're watching that with a lot of anxiety and a lot of pride. >> absolutely. a little bit of both as you mentioned. it was -- i was, of course, concerned for her, concerned for her safety and concerned for her nerves. we both have done this our entire lives. our family for several hundred years but to be able to stay calm in those situations is how you're able to be successful. >> i would say it's fair to say this was your biggest professional challenge yet. so how do you go up from here? what's next? >> you know, i don't know at this point. there's a lot of ideas that i have. i don't think at this point after walking over the grand canyon and niagara falls and now an active volcano, times square and chicago, i don't know how to top anything. i think at this point my life is

about parallels. what can i do that is similar and inspiring and motivational to others? >> beautifully said. >> congratulations, nik. >> congrats, thank you. >> thank you. coming up the coronavirus outbreak is sparking a run on supplies. we'll tell you what you need to be prepared. dr. jen ashton answering your questions about the coronavirus. pplies. we'll tell you what you need to be prepared. dr. jen ashton answering your questions about the coronavirus. . i have the power to lower my blood sugar and a1c. because i can still make my own insulin. and trulicity activates my body to release it like it's supposed to. trulicity is for people with type 2 diabetes. it's not insulin. i take it once a week. it starts acting in my body from the first dose. trulicity isn't for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. don't take trulicity if you're allergic to it, you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have an allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck, or severe stomach pain.

>> the end of the line for paper towels and toilet paper is here. >> reporter: from coast to coast even in hawaii stores recently filled with bottled water, baby wipes and toilet paper wiped empty. >> we saw the masks first and then the hand sanitizer went a little after. i guess people are nervous about the potential spread. >> reporter: one consumer research firm says sales of dried beans are up 10%, thermometers up 47%, hand sanitizer, 73%, and none of those numbers take into account sales from the last week and a half. on their website kroger has announced they will be limiting the number of sanitization, cold and flu related products to five each per order. >> i think that's good that they are limiting people so that people can't like go buy the whole store and there's plenty to go around. >> reporter: if a pandemic were to happen, the department of homeland security says it would be helpful to have on hand a two-week supply of water and food and they suggest that you make sure your drug prescriptions are refilled and

that you have a good supply of pain relievers, cold and cough medicines and other nonprescription items, but some experts say that the run on products like bottled water and hand sanitizer might be a little overboard. >> you don't need to be applying the hand sanitizer every five minutes. a small bottle in your purse or pocket should be fine to get you through several weeks. it's a respiratory virus. i don't see that it could live in our water supply. i don't see a reason to stock up on bottled water or water filters or anything like that. you can drink the water that you normally drink. >> reporter: some more advice from health officials is to buy food that you would feel like eating in the event that you got sick. also if they're out of hand sanitizer, buy soap instead. any sort of soap will be just if not more effective. >> makes a lot of sense, steve, thanks. we turn to dr. ashton who's been fielding questions from viewers on social media all morning. so what do you have? >> george, hundreds and hundreds

of questions coming in to our coronavirus command center now. we're going to start with shay on facebook who's asking how are people infected with coronavirus being treated and what are the protocols right now other than stay home? we really don't know at this point. this is -- you know, right now if you have mild symptoms, you're being managed no differently than you would let's say if you had influenza and so you want to be in touch with your health care provider if you have one. if you don't, you want to call your local hospital or your local health department and they can instruct you on next steps. but because there is no treatment at this point it's just supportive care, rest, stay well hydrated and over 80% of people who are known to be infected with coronavirus resolve and get better on their own which is really good news. the next great question, george, is from instagram asking, can the virus get on your clothes? so whether it's clothes, money we're hearing all these questions.

right now that is unknown. we have no evidence that it can and i want to encourage you to think of this no differently than the influenza virus. we don't particularly worry about that getting on our clothes. however for some viral comparison the norovirus, that g.i. virus that makes people very sick with g.i. symptoms that can actually get on people's clothes, on sheets and can be passed that way so long answer but short answer, we don't know. >> all right. jen, we understand you're getting a lot of questions online about hand sanitizer. >> yeah, and, again, there are so many different hand sanitizers out there. i use this all the time in my office when i'm seeing patients. they're all over schools and workplaces, anything with at least 60% alcohol according to the cdc is effective. but, again, we want to encourage people really if you can get to a sink, hand washing with soap and water is the gold standard so, again, when you do that at least 20 seconds. when you're done, you guys make sure you grab a paper towel to turn the faucet off with. otherwise, you've just undone

all your good work. >> that wasn't 20 seconds. [ laughter ] >> she was getting a wrap. that's not her fault. >> thank you. >> dr. ashton will take questions on twitter, instagram all morning long. send them with the #askgma and she'll answer more in our next hour. tomorrow night a two-hour special on "20/20" on the coronavirus outbreak. amy? coming up, big news for katy perry. what she revealed, and next the photobomb that was so much more. it is our "play of the day." you're going to want to stick around for that. you've been hearing a lot about 5g. but there's 5g... and then there's verizon 5g. we're building the most powerful 5g experience for america. it's more than 10 times faster than some other 5g networks. and it's rolling out in cities across the country. so people can experience speeds that ultra wideband can deliver. 1.7 gigs here in houston. 1.8 gigs here in frigid omaha. almost 2 gigs here in los angeles. that's outrageous. it's like an eight-lane highway compared to a two-land dirt road.

release date until late fall. the makers of the film writing on the "no time to die" twitter account, after careful consideration and thorough evaluation of the global theatrical marketplace -- i will get this right -- the release of "no time to die" will be postponed until november 2020. the decision, of course, on the heels of the coronavirus outbreak. it also comes after bond fans sent an open letter to the studio requesting a delay in release calling it a public health concern. publicity tours for the film in china, south korea and japan have also been canceled or postponed. by the way, the movie's star daniel craig still doing press anyway hosting "snl" this coming weekend. this will be his fifth and final time playing james bond. so we will have to wait. lots happening. [ applause ] and this next story is for anyone who has a clingy pet like this guy. ziggy. her owners say she does not get the concept of personal space.

specifically any time someone sits down whether she knows them or not she makes herself right at home on their lap. even before you sit down she zones in on her target and eyes go black, ears go flat and waits for her moment. so time consuming to get her off the lap they needed to do what they needed to do and created a fake lap. there it is. they actually created several of them. in various rooms of the house they stuffed the pants with heating pads to really lure her in. they put sneakers on there so ziggy didn't suspect. works like a charm. mom and dad have time. ziggy has a new best friend. and that's "pop news." >> devoted. >> that's great. >> it is. thank you, lara. we're going to move to our "gma" cover story, more on the coronavirus emergency. dr. ashton is back getting hundreds of questions all morning on social media. let's answer some more now. >> hey, george, listen, we are

really busy up here in the coronavirus command center. i want to start with the latest numbers out worldwide now estimated minimum of 95,000 confirmed cases. here in the u.s. at least 161 confirmed cases which we do expect to see increase and at least 11 deaths here in the u.s. associated with this novel coronavirus. again these numbers will change rapidly and people should unfortunately expect them to go up especially as we're testing more people. >> and let's talk about some of the other questions you've been getting. you have one of the most searched questions online. >> this is a really good question, george. should parents keep their kids out of school? we're both parents. this is top of mind for us. i think you have to go by what's going on in your community. you should be in touch with your children's school. i've gotten multiple emails from both my kids' colleges and universities about contingency

plans. so those lines of communication should be open. what's interesting about kids is that kids seem to be spared severe effects of coronavirus but that doesn't mean they can't be infected and just show no symptoms and therefore help to spread or transmit the virus. so schools are really, really following this pretty closely. i got another great question from kelly on twitter who asked we have spring break plans to travel to california. should we cancel them? that really depends, kelly, on your risk tolerance. risk versus going, risk versus canceling your trip, benefits to going, benefits to canceling the trip. everyone will feel differently about this at this time. there is no official guidelines on canceling trips within the united states. >> jen, i know you'll answer questions all morning long on instagram and twitter. robin? okay, george, now a look at how you can then those impacted by the tornadoes in tennessee. so many people we know rushing in to offer their support, becoming everyday heroes. going to go back to victor in putnam county.

good morning again, victor with this story. how are you doing? >> good morning, robin. it's been incredible to watch. from the moment our team got on the ground here in tennessee we were stunned by the amount of people ready and willing to help their neighbors. two days later that support is only growing stronger. so many scenes of devastation in nashville and the surrounding area, entire neighborhoods flattened but out of the wreckage neighbors helping neighbors. >> we're here for our community. we love our community. everybody is pitching in. >> reporter: the community coming together to start the long recovery process. >> what an incredible community we have. now we're in the transition from yesterday's emergency to recovery. >> reporter: as of wednesday hundreds of thousands of dollars raised to help. organizations like hands on nashville, one of the largest resources for volunteers in the area, mobilizing so many. >> we know there's going to be lots of work to do. lots of cleanup and rebuilding to come over the next days, weeks and months. >> reporter: north nashville

resident jeffrey patterson went house to house helping to rescue people from their homes right after the tornado hit, telling our affiliate wkrn that everyone is jumping in. >> it was a terrifying experience. we are blessed. everybody is still alive in good spirits laughing and getting it done. >> reporter: people around tennessee jumping in their cars and driving to help. like yassin, owner of yassin's falafel house in knoxville 200 miles away driving in to pup up a pop-up kitchen to feed hundreds of people. neighbors helping neighbors get back on their feet. from donations to clearing debris to helping search for those family heirlooms, for those who lost it all this does make all the difference. robin? >> it truly does, victor, thank you for being there. let's bring in yassin right now. you may remember him from a few years ago here on "gma" when we honored his knoxville restaurant as the nicest place in america.

we did that. [ applause ] as we mentioned, he has driven from knoxville to nashville to help so many impacted by the tornadoes. it is so good to see you again, yassin. and tell people what went into the thought process to make that decision to be there in nashville. good morning. >> good morning. good morning, america. good morning, robin. the right decision because i know what it means to leave your house without nothing. you've been in tornado zone or war zone or hurricane zone, it's not your option or not your decision but as a community it is our decision to help you. it is our responsibility to help you. so i'm doing what i learned from the american community. i'm doing what america did to me when i come here. that is how we are and that's who we are in tennessee. [ applause ] >> oh, my gosh, every time i talk to you, yassin, you are

just an incredible human being and all the volunteers that are there behind you that are helping out as well. this is part of your mission. every time we talk, this fits into what you are trying to do here and what you want to do for others, isn't it? >> yes. i think what i'm doing, i'm transferring the love i received from everyone. i think we should not stop the love in america. we should not stop who we are by being selfish. this is my mission and everybody in the room's mission. i have a lot of people around me supporting us. working at 6:00 a.m. in the morning to be here. so our mission is to spread more love and be in america the right way that i learned. and as you know, we are breaking bread to build love. >> i love how you say that breaking bread for love. it's good to see you, yassin. as always your special ingredient is love, and thank you for spreading that. i'll see you soon, yassin.

you take care. >> thank you. >> give our best to everybody there in the nashville area. you take care. let's get over to rob. >> that's a good man, robin, and so many good people impacted by those tornados in tennessee. i don't know about you, but i need a chuckle so i want you to meet this young man and his dog doing their thing.
