more than 2 million people without power and the death toll is rising this morning. and take a look at these before and after still pictures out of fort myers beach, showing the extent of the wreckage. just incredible. homes completely destroyed by the storm surge. >> and unfortunately, there is more to come. you're looking live at charleston, south carolina, the area bracing with ian set to make landfall in just hours as a category 1. we have team coverage on the aftermath and what still lies ahead and we begin with abc news chief meteorologist ginger zee in florida following the storm. good morning, ginger. >> reporter: michael, almost two days now after it made landfall in southwest florida and search and rescues are happening as we speak. such a broad area impacted and now ian is looking to do its fourth landfall later today. this morning, a constant stream of overwhelming images, a glaring reflection of hurricane ian's power. the behemoth making landfall wednesday afternoon as a category 4.

ferocious winds topping 150 miles per hour, gouging parts of southwest florida. ian making history as one of the top ten strongest on record in the united states, shredding homes and swallowing entire neighborhoods in that record-breaking storm surge. >> look at that. >> reporter: the monster storm claiming several lives. so far at least 21 people killed, that number expected to rise. >> this could be the deadliest hurricane in florida's history. >> reporter: one of the most hard hit regions, fort myers beach. watch as storm surge hips this house off its foundation, carrying it away. boats floating through a neighborhood. >> it was horrible. >> reporter: this time lapse of the beach capturing the rush of the surge into the streets. that same spot after demolished. all that's left, piles of debris. and as the sun rose thursday morning, we navigated through the dawn of destruction ian left behind. >> the roads are a wreck. and this is going to make it so hard for people to get in to

rescue folks. >> reporter: the sanibel causeway impassable after being battered by the epic surge. the coast guard hoisting people trapped near the island. at the siesta bay rv park we meet halle who rode out the storm with her cat climbing into bed as the rapidly rising water crushed into her home. the bed here rose up in the floodwaters and she said she only had about a foot and a half of clearance to breathe. >> i'm homeless and scared. >> reporter: bruce planned to evacuate but woke up early and figured he had a little more time. so he went back to sleep. >> kind of woke up to find myself floating about, and i climbed out of the house and climbed up onto the roof. i was there for 5 1/2 hours. >> reporter: it's not just bruce and halle that lost their home. in this neighborhood alone there are hundreds of homes you can see from our drone there that each of these took on at least

12 feet of water. they are all total losses. so many people losing their homes, not just in this neighborhood, but if you look at the telestrator that i have that i can draw on here the water came from way back there, almost three miles from the gulf of mexico. since 1970, the fort myers area has grown by more than 600%. you can see it clearly in this graphic and on this next one, this was the warning for storm surge over nine feet. inundating a lot of that new population. massive rescue efforts under way across the coast. >> there have been more than 700 confirmed rescues, and there's likely many more than that. >> reporter: 1,000 fema personnel deployed supplying millions of liters of water, meals and hundreds of generators. about 2 million people still without power. just heartbreaking ruin at every turn. but resilience and gratitude right there too. >> you know, the men and women of the urban search and rescue

teams have the most amazing fire in their belly. they're my heroes and what they do is god's work. >> reporter: in orlando historic flooding. more than 12 inches of rain from this nursing home alone, 106 residents were taken out after the floodwaters tried to get in despite those sandbags. our janai norman right there after the rescue. >> ever seen anything like this? >> no, ma'am, i have not. not with this much water in central florida. >> reporter: did you know that charleston and south carolina, the coast, excuse me of south carolina hasn't had a landfall of a hurricane in six years since matthew. unfortunately, you'll see one later this afternoon likely as this and 85-mile-per-hour max sustained ian is headed right now north-northeast but will turn back to the south carolina coast. we already have a flash flood warning for charleston, preemptively. high tide happens sometime around noon. but it looks like it'll make landfall north of charleston

before myrtle beach, perhaps around georgetown. wherever it does make landfall the push of water happens on the right side because these rotate counterclockwise and then you can get a push of water away. cecilia, surge is first concern, four to seven feet, but also five to ten inches of rain so flash flooding is the second most killer. >> all right, ginger, thanks so much. let's take all of this right now exactly to elwyn lopez who's there in charleston with the latest on all of this. good morning, elwyn. >> reporter: good morning, cecilia. ian roars closer to us. this is the ashley river, about 200 or so boats here, some people live on these boats, they have retied them, many people have left. but the governor here has declared a state of emergency but has not ordered any evacuations the main concern is for the potential of

life-threatening storm surge. lot of people leaving car after car on i-26 yesterday heading out of charleston, you can see why, the people living in low-lying areas are concerned, the last time south carolina had a landfall of a hurricane here was in 2016 with hurricane matthew, now the concern is, well, this is going to make landfall during high tide, that culd xas be it a storm surge here. it's an event that will impact much of south carolina over the next few days. whit. >> very similar to what we saw in florida as well. elwyn, thank you. let's go back to florida where more than 2 million customers are still without power. for many officials say that wait could last for days. rob marciano is in st. petersburg with more on that. rob, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. we've been reporting all week, 30,000 crews have run out of state to pre-stage for this

storm, they're probably doing the same thing with south carolina. we're at tropicana field, this is the big staging area for duke energy. 700 are in the state and they got in at 5:00 in the morning and got something to eat and got briefed by team leaders, now heading out. tree trucks, auger trucks that help drill holes into the ground to put up new telephone poles and, of course, linemen, and some of these bucket trucks, they can't fly or go up and work on lines if the winds are over 35 miles an hour. that's where they were yesterday, not a whole lot of progress. today the winds are calm and they hope to make a little more in the way of progress today. but these guys are working 16-hour days from all over the country so it's a hard job. they're ready to do it and ready to be here for days if not weeks. some officials tell me that's how long it will take if the home that you're in can accept it. michael. >> all right, rob, thank you so much. now we go to the destruction

left behind from the storm. victor oquendo is in venice, florida, for us this morning. good morning, victor. >> reporter: good morning, michael. our team traveled from fort myers up to venice seeing those hardest hit areas along the way, this being one of them. this home took the brunt of hurricane ian. i can see clear inside the kitchen but beyond that it is pretty tough to make out what's what here. all this wood just looks like toothpicks scattered around. this was the front of the house. we know that for sure. storm surge, it just came right in and pushed everything right to the back and tore everything up in its path. i can make out a bed frame. there is a children's train set over there. so many residents here telling us they didn't expect it to be this bad. many now beginning that long and painful cleanup process but for others like them, they'll be starting all over. cecilia. >> all right, victor, thank you so much. we are thinking of all these families this morning. we are now going to turn to breaking news from overseas. ukrainian officials say a

russian missile strike on a humanitarian convoy has killed at least 23 people injuring dozens more. this as vladimir putin is expected to illegally declare parts of ukraine russian territory. chief foreign correspondent ian pannell has more. >> reporter: this morning, vladimir putin formally declares that four regions of ukraine are now part of russia. again appearing to threaten to use nuclear weapons saying america created a precedent by dropping an atomic bomb on japan. putin warning we'll protect our land with all the forces and means at our disposal telling ukraine to negotiate, these four parts of ukraine will now be russia forever. on the ground, a russian strike on a humanitarian convoy on the ground, killing 20, 60 hospitalized. . civilian convoy was heading into russian occupied zaporizhzhia to

pick up family and take them to safety. the u.n. secretary-general saying it has no legal value. >> it's a dangerous escalation, no place in the modern world, it must not be accept sfld the u.s. expected to impose harsher sanctions. >> the u.s. will never recognize russia's claims on ukraine's sovereign territory. >> reporter: putin now admitting mistakes were made saying return home those who had been drafted unreasonably, at the same time moving to stop the wave of men from leaving near border entry points. the most difficult thing this move by russia it makes some kind of peace deal impossible. this morning's appalling attack

revealing the true nature of russia's war. >> thank you so much for, ian. now to the investigation into the january 6th capitol riot and ginni thomas, a conservative activist and wife of supreme court justice clarence thomas testifying before the house committee amid questions abouther role and efforts to overturn the 2020 election. our chief washington correspondent jon karl has more. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, michael. ginni thomas was aggressively pushing efforts to challenge the election at the very time that donald trump was vowing to go to the supreme court to overturn joe biden's election victory and one of many text messages that she sent after the election, to then white house chief of staff mark meadows, she called the election the greatest heist in our history. she testified for some four hours and made it clear that she still believes the thoroughly disproven lie that the election was stolen. she also downplayed her efforts and said that she never talked about what she was doing with

her husband, supreme court justice clarence thomas, and she made an opening statement to the committee which has been obtained by abc news and said in part, it is laughable for anyone who knows my husband to think i could influence his jurisprudence, the man is independent and stubborn with strong character traits of independence and integrity but, again, whit, she made it clear that even now, two years after the election, she believes it was rigged and stolen a lot. >> jon karl for us, thank you. now to concern about miami dolphins quarterback tua tagovailoa after he was carted off the field last night with head and neck injuries. and now questions about whether he should have been playing in the first place. will reeve has the story. will, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. last night a difficult scene, definitely a concussion and now an investigation should that quarterback have even been on the field? >> down he goes. slung down on his own 48 yard line.

>> reporter: in the second quarter of the miami dolphins primetime game against the cincinna bmiami's govaoa, s roioly to the ground,shing hi and back on the turf. you can see his fingers seizing, what's known as fencing, an no tovailoa taken neurological to the hospital with head and neck injuries, but was discharged overnight and flew home to miami with the team. >> it was a scary moment. he was evaluated for concussion and he's in the concussion protocol. >> reporter: just days earlier, tagovailoa obviously staggered after a big hit against the buffalo bills, that reaction, another sign of trauma that concussion experts deem a red line that when crossed should prohibit a player from returning to the game but tua did come back that day, eventually leading his team to victory. he and the dolphins claiming that was a back injury and as such would not be subject to

mandatory concussion protocol. an nfl and nfl p.a. joint review is under way to determine whether or not the dolphins followed proper procedure. dr. chris nowinski is a critic. of the nfl's approach to head trauma. >> now we have to worry what this is going to do for the rest of his season and how it will affect him the rest of his life. >> reporter: the players association tweeting, our concern tonight is for tua, and we hope for a full and speedy recovery. our investigation into the protocol violation is ongoing. >> thanks so much. we're going to turn to a new drug in the fight against als. the fda approved a new medication that based on a recent study could help slow the progression of this devastating disease and prolong survival in some patients. the promising new drug is called relyvrio and in a trial of als patients, those who took it for 24 weeks experienced a slower rate of functional decline compared to

those who received a placebo. about 5,000 people in the u.s. are diagnosed with the disease each year and roughly 20,000 americans are currently living with als so hopefully some good news for them. >> sure hope so. and we are following a lot of other headlines including never before seen video of sherri papini after she resurfaced following her fake kidnapping. how police pieced together her plot. and the warning about a new scam using the mobile payment transfer service zelle. how to protect yourself. but first back over to ginger. >> reporter: cecilia, flood watches for many states on the north side of when ian will come in later today in the southeast. look at north carolina, almost fully under flood watch. virginia, parts of west virginia, south carolina, a little piece of georgia there. we're looking for five to ten inches, raleigh-durham. that triangle, 6 to 12 inches could happen. if you get a flash flood warning, please do not drive. your local weather in 30 seconds.

66-mile-per-hour gust at folly beach. so you can see that thing approaching, that's just south of charleston. they got a preemptive flash flood warning saying only essential travel should be happening because it's so much rain and that surge already is going to begin throughout the morning hours. the surge as it approaches could reach four to seven feet along much of the coast of south carolina. that's why you're under a hurricane warning. look, once you get that surge, look how vulnerable charleston and the areas surrounding with six plus feet, you can flood for miles inland. so unfortunately this does come closer to high tide. we'll look for the landfall later this afternoon north of charleston which then would put them on the back side. more like a myrtle beach getting slapped with the front end of it and then that heavy rain, five to ten inches of rain. you could see flash flooding as far north as raleigh or richmond with this storm as it moves inland. >> thank you so much for that, ginger, and we know you're covering all of it for us this morning.

now we turn to new details on sherri papini's vanishing act. the never before seen video of papini right after she resurfaced following her fake kidnapping and what we're learning about how police unraveled her lies. our chief national correspondent matt gutman has been following this story since the beginning. good morning to you, matt. >> reporter: hey, good morning, michael. those new details coming from the first time that police questioned sherri papini right after she reappeared. you mention that video. never before been seen by the public. papini wrapped in a ball, a bandage across her nose from a self-inflicted injury and she describes in incredible detail how she had been held by these captors in orange county and she does so so convincingly that this hoax held for nearly six years. >> i feel like sometimes it's easier with my eyes closed -- >> reporter: in those newly released tapes, a battered and bruised sherri papini appears on edge, even reluctant to talk to police just days after her return.

>> that's another thing i'm scared about. i don't know you guys. i don't know if you're in my corner. i know my husband. i know my husband is in my corner, but, you know, there was a lot of other things and i know that you guys know everything about everything. it's embarrassing. >> well. >> and yucky and that's weird for me. that's weird for me. >> reporter: it was the mysterious disappearance that captivated the nation, sherri papini, a 34-year-old wife and mother of two, vanished while out on a jog in november 2016 reappearing just over three weeks later on the side of a highway on thanksgiving morning, claiming she had been taken and held against her will by two fictitious women. >> there was a chain around my waist. >> okay. do you know what you were affixed to? was it a tether like a rope? >> a metal cable. >> how about the bathroom.

what did that look like? >> it just was a standard -- there was a crack in the tile. it was a light colored tile that was speckled. there was a crack in the tile. >> reporter: her seemingly miraculous story of survival a complete fabrication. and over the next six years investigators would piece together how papini had lied about everything from her fictional abduction to injuries which were largely self-inflicted. dna from her clothing eventually leading them to her ex-boyfriend, james reyes. >> i didn't kidnap her. i just -- friend in need asked me for help and that was that. >> what did you say? >> she was trying to get away from her husband. your husband raped you? i don't know what her deal was. >> is it okay if i look in the closet? i'm curious to see if it's the same as she described it. >> ding, ding, ding, ding.

this apartment, this closet and this bathroom looked just like the place that sherri says she was held captive. >> reporter: authorities say papini's allegations of abuse against her husband were unfounded and that james reyes had no knowledge of her plan. and with reyes' cooperation investigators now believed they had solid proof sherri papini's kidnapping was a hoax. >> the dna that was on you belongs to james reyes. >> we talked to him. we've got him on a polygraph. we talked to everyone around him. we have the rental agreements, the reason why you lost so much weight is because you stopped eating. the reason why the brand is because he went to the store and bought the brand and branded you. the reason why your nose was broke is because of a hockey stick. it's not an abduction. >> no. >> i rented a car. i drove up and picked her up. he passed the polygraph test,

sherri. if that's not what happened, what did happen, sherri? >> i don't know. no, there's no way it's james. there's no way. there's no way. >> the dna doesn't lie. >> reporter: sherri papini pleaded guilty to making false statements and to mail fraud. a judge sentencing her to 18 months in prison making special note of the damage she has done to herself, her family, her community, but especially the hispanic community for those allegations about two hispanic captors. all of it made up and on this "20/20" tonight we break down this crazy case from the first 911 calls to that first time police questioned her to the interrogation years later where it all comes crashing down and we reveal exactly how she was able to convince so many people including her husband for so many years. michael. >> yeah, the whole case just makes you shake your head and go, why.

you've been covering it from the beginning as we said. you can see matt's full report tonight on "20/20" at 9:00 eastern right here on abc. whit. >> we will be watching. now to our series "scam u." the man sharing his story after he says he was robbed via a text message he thought was from his bank, now a warning about those who use zelle. will reeve has the details. will, good morning again. this is alarming. >> reporter: it is. good morning, again. this is a sophisticated scam. hard to parse out truth from deception and victims are having accounts drained and lives up ended in a web that's quite hard to untangle. >> it happened so quickly. >> reporter: marcus says his bank account was drained after he got a text message that seemed to be from his real bank, capital one. >> i was caught off guard but i might as well as just given all my money to the first person i saw. >> reporter: the text reading, did you attempt a $500 zelle transfer? zelle is a payment service

embedded in your banking app that allows you send money directly to people's bank accounts. but miles hadn't sent any money. he was eager to talk to who he thought was his bank. >> i was convinced because he kept saying, looks like someone has accessed from an ip address in texas. looking back 16 minutes' worth of manipulation and, boy, was he good. >> reporter: he then received a text to confirm his user name and login. >> because i was getting a text i actually was sending it back. >> reporter: moments later his account empty. his story, one of many from across the country. >> who the heck would have all that information? >> reporter: demi woods speaking to our station wls in chicago lost $3,500. our san francisco 7 on your side unit hearing from dozens of consumers. lawmakers are working to make these money transfers safer. >> congress is considering a draft proposal to ensure that consumers who get induced into

scams have protection and get their money replenished by the banking industry. or whatever platform they've used. >> reporter: zelle is out with its own tiktok reminding customers that their banks will never call for personal info because they already have it. and if the caller says it's urgent, question it. capital one has confirmed to abc they are crediting marcus for that unauthorized transaction and zelle had these tips for you to protect yourself from scams. avoid sharing personal details online. if you receive a text or call from someone claiming to be your financial institution, hang up, call the institution back, never share one-time passcodes from your bank with anyone. sign up for text or email alerts from your bank and you should contact your bank immediately if you suspect unauthorized activity, guys. a tough one to figure out. >> yeah. >> that is the key, though, hang up, don't reply to the text and go back to your financial institution.

big difference, yeah. >> thank you so much, will. coming up, the rising cost of thanksgiving turkeys and rebecca jarvis, you can see her right there, she went right to the source to get the story. hey, rebecca. >> reporter: hey, cecilia, yes. they love it. please don't blame my newfound friends for this, you guys. prices have more than doubled since this time last year. we will tell you why and how to pay less at your thanksgiving dinner. honey, what's guy fieri doing at the neighbor's house? it's sliiiiiiiiii-der sunday! everyone grab a king's hawaiian slider! ...slider sunday? sliiiiiiiiii-der sunday! we've got philly cheesesteak sliders on king's hawaiian slider buns! oh, my. and we got cheeseburger sliders on king's hawaiian pretzel slider buns! sliiiiiiiiii-der sunndayyyyyyyyyyyyy!!! [crash] everything's better between king's hawaiian bread. especially now with king's hawaiian pretzel buns! maybe next time use the gate? who says you have to spend more on skincare to get results? i power up my skin with olay. it works. guaranteed.

try niacinamide for strength, retinol 24 for smoothness and vitamin c for brightness. i like to use them all! olay. face anything. i'm lindsey vonn, and ever since i retired from skiing, i've had trouble i li falling asleepall! and staying asleep. you know, insomnia. before i found quviviq, an fda-approved insomnia medication for adults. you would not believe the things i used to think about when i couldn't sleep. hey, linds. i need you to sign this business contract. all 114 pages. lindsey, lindsey!! hey, lindsey! it's workout time. hey, big man, we're in the middle of something here. yeah, it's called physical fitness. just a couple dozen more questions, lindsey. don't forget to pack your phone charger for tomorrow morning's flight. it's plugged in right over there. insomnia can impact both my days and my nights. that's why i take quviviq nightly. quviviq can help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer, and more sleep at night may mean feeling less tired during the day. quviviq works differently than medication you may have taken in the past.

quviviq is thought to target one of the biological causes of insomnia. overactive wake signals. do not take quviviq if you have narcolepsy. don't drink alcohol while taking quviviq or drive or operate heavy machinery until you feel fully alert. quviviq may cause temporary inability to move or talk or hallucinations while falling asleep or waking up. quviviq may cause sleepiness during the day. quviviq may lead to doing activities while not fully awake that you don't remember the next day, like walking, driving and making or eating food. worsening depression including suicidal thoughts may occur. the most common side effects are headaches and sleepiness. it's quviviq. ask your doctor if it's right for you.

be a very expensive thanksgiving. turkey prices could reach record highs this year and rebecca jarvis, well, she went straight to the source to explain what's behind these rising costs. rebecca, hopefully we can hear you over all the gobbling this time. >> reporter: i got a lot of friends, cecilia, here at double brook farm. they have welcomed us with open wings, even though they're dealing with some very challenging times. triple the feed costs, double the labor costs, the worst drought in 20 years that all adds up to a more expensive thanksgiving feast. this morning, signs of turkey trouble. the cost of the thanksgiving staple spiking hitting a new record high as the bird flu and inflation ruffle feathers. >> it definitely causes a whole lot of stress. i've never been not able to get the turkeys that i've wanted. >> reporter: the retail price for boneless skinless turkey breast more than doubling now near $7 a pound.

>> it's really a combination of issues that are leading to these record high prices this year. one that's having the largest influence is an outbreak of avian influenza which has led to a decline in the number of turkeys that are being grown. >> reporter: a particularly bad outbreak of the bird flu wreaking havoc on farms. nearly 47 million birds affected across 40 states. >> if your turkeys end up with bird flu any other poultry on the farm, whether it's meat, chickens, eggs, they all have to be exterminated. that's not only a huge financial loss but a sad situation. >> reporter: on top of that, farmers facing their own rising costs. >> whether it's some utilities or groceries or building materials, everything has gone up incredibly. >> reporter: experts say there's still ways to save money on your feast. >> perhaps think about getting a frozen bird rather than a fresh turkey this year.

ways to really stretch that dollar so that we can all be together but still have that traditional thanksgiving diner. >> reporter: no bird flu here. there's just a lot of cheering in the background. egg prices have also been affected by all of this. they are down a little bit, but still up from a year ago 27%. the average price of a dozen now $2.34. guys, i'm going to head back to my field of dreams. if you build it, they will cluck every weekend. >> wow. >> every time you talk they get louder. i think they know what you're saying. >> i don't think that's cheering, by the way.

so far at least 11 people killed. that number expected to rise. >> this could be the deadliest hurricane in florida's history. >> reporter: one of the most hard hit regions, fort myers beach. we navigated through the dawn of destruction ian left behind. in this neighborhood alone, there are hundreds of homes, you can see from our drone there, that each of these took on at least 12 feet of water. they are all total losses. massive rescue efforts under way across the coast. >> there have been more than 700 confirmed rescues and there's likely many more than that. >> reporter: just heartbreaking ruin at every turn. but resilience and gratitude right there too. >> the men and women of the urban search and rescue teams have the most amazing fire in their belly. they're my heroes and what they do is god's work. >> reporter: they're our heroes too, and unfortunately i think there will be more working today in south carolina and north

carolina because ian is approaching for that next landfall this afternoon. we just saw an update. it's moving north and it's got 85-mile-per-hour winds. we end up seeing charleston with a preemptive flash flood warning. the surge will start piling up ahead of the storm and then you'll see five to ten inches of rain all the way up to virginia. surge, four to seven feet along that coast, hurricane warning for the entire coast of south carolina but large impacts especially because that surge, even six plus feet around those very vulnerable bays, and even folly beach saw a 66-mile-per-hour gust and could see that push of water take flooding inland by miles. michael. >> we hope everybody is safe, ginger, thank you so much for that. now we're going to turn to the cost of buying a home and skyrocketing mortgage rates reaching levels we haven't seen in more than a decade. abc's chief business technology and economics correspondent, the jack of all trades, rebecca jarvis, is going to join us with what that means for the housing

market. good morning, again, rebecca. >> reporter: hi, michael. nice to see you again, and the average 30-year fixed rate mortgage is now 6.7%. that is more than double where it was at the start of this year and to put that into real terms, if you took out a $300,000 mortgage in january, it would have cost you about $1,300 a month. that same mortgage today is going to cost you about $2,000 a month and that is because the fed has been hiking interest rates, meantime, prices of homes have been dropping month over month. they are still up from a year ago but analysts do predict they will start to fall more later this year. if you're on the fence about buying, a couple things you can do, first of all work on building your credit score. the best credit scores get the best rates on new mortgages. also, build up that down payment. the more you put down, the less you'll pay in interest and finally use some of the rent versus buy calculators that exist on the internet to map out numbers for yourself.

there are great ones at nerd wallet and realtor.com. whit? >> very helpful tips as always. rebecca, thank you. now to concern over rising hospitalizations of children for respiratory illnesses. health experts in at least seven states tell abc news they're seeing higher than expected rates of certain pediatric infections. erielle reshef is here with more on that. erielle, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. this is concerning. health officials are warning of a surge in pediatric cases of respiratory illnesses associated with rhinovirus, rsv, and early upticks in flu in some parts of the country. child hospitalizations are pushing health care systems toward capacity. abc news has heard from infectious disease experts in states from washington to louisiana to new jersey to texas who say they are feeling the crush and expect it could get worse as the school year proceeds and winter approaches. there's not one specific cause for this spike, but factors likely include this time of year and the fact that children just haven't been as exposed to

illnesses over the last few years due to pandemic protocol. parents should monitor their children for any respiratory symptoms and, of course, if they worsen dramatically seek medical attention. keep kids that are sick at home from school. wash hands frequently and make sure your children are up to date on all of their routine vaccinations including for the flu and covid-19. those things we know but it's important as a reminder, guys. >> absolutely, erielle, thank you. coming up in our "gma morning menu," the "stranger things" star talking about the racism he says he's experienced from some of the show's fans and how he's responding now. also this morning, "gma investigates" sudden cardiac arrest in student athletes and the new call for additional screening before they play. plus, we are celebrating hispanic heritage month by cooking with our families. a live look at the control room. we get to cook with that guy right there, alberto, my work bestie, all coming up. lara, you have some dancers. >> i do. so excited for the food and for this. we're launching a new series

>> my brain hurt so bad and then, like everything went black. >> reporter: her doctors say she has a heart condition and survived because she already had a lifesaving defibrillator thanks to a heart screening test. >> 1 in 300 young persons has a condition at risk for sudden cardiac arrest. >> reporter: the risk nearly four times higher in student athletes according to this doctor, head of the uw center for sports cardiology in washington. >> a football player who died. >> died during track and field pactice. >> collapsed during basketball practice. >> research shows that up to 80% of kids who suffer sudden cardiac arrest have no symptoms prior. >> reporter: but in florida, a grassroots effort to try to detect the risk early. the nonprofit who we play for offering low cost electrocardiograms for ecgs. more than 150 florida schools require athletes to get one before they play sports. hailey's school is one of them. her doctors told her that saved

her life, but because of her diagnosis, she's now benched from playing sports. >> it's never okay for like a kid to die out of nowhere because they never know that they have a heart condition. >> reporter: josh got a heart screening in 2021 and revealed he has a condition that could lead to a similar fate. did you have any symptoms? >> no, ma'am, my whole life was perfect. we had this screening and they found something within my heart. >> what did the doctor tell you? >> the only thing i heard your child could die. >> reporter: the majority of high schools across the country require student athletes to pass a thorough questionnaire endorsed by the american heart association and a physical exam before playing sports. if a child is found at higher risk, guidelines call for additional testing like an ecg. >> but there is robust evidence that using that model for screening leaves the majority of kids at risk undetected. >> reporter: we interviewed three students from the orange county school district in florida where ecgs are mandatory for athletes and they told us

they passed the questionnaire and physical but took a screening for doctors to diagnose their heart conditions. the american heart association telling us, it is supportive of ecg testing for children at the highest risk but stands by the current guideline which considers the latest research findings in patient safety. the aha expressing concern, the universal ecg screening may miss cases, de-emphasize the importance of proper exams and place an extra burden on the health care system costing an estimated $2 billion. money they say could be spent on other potentially lifesaving interventions. >> it's not a tool for everybody. the infrastructure is definitely a concern that i have because there's disparities in our health care system. i advocate more than anything for emergency action planning, cpr training. >> reporter: as the debate continues, josh's mom is grateful a screening led to her son's diagnosis. >> after what happened to josh i volunteer and, yeah, that's my way of saying thank you and for me paying it forward to help another child. can't wait to watch him on the field.

>> reporter: and as for what happens as the debate continues, the american heart association says this is an important area that needs more rigorous research. they're also concerned not all doctors are actually following their screening guidelines as they should. other experts we spoke with believe that for now it is best to focus on students who are at the highest risk and, michael, we know studies have known men and black athletes are actually in that group. >> you know, as a parent you just hope that every school would do it so that you know your kid is safe before they play sports. >> right. >> faith, thank you. now we go to ginger in florida. hey, ginger. >> reporter: michael, a buoy just south of charleston had a 74-mile-per-hour gust. those winds, hurricane-force winds extend 70 miles from the center of ian and should make landfall later today sometime near georgetown this afternoon but the surge, the rain and, of course, the wind a concern. that's the big picture. drew: your accuweather forecast.
