and with so much of the seawall and the coastline torn apart there is the concern of more collapses especially with the ground as unstable as it is, first will come the inspections and then the repairs, we're looking at a very long recovery process here. amy. >> yeah, those pictures are overwhelming. thank you so much that. our senior meteorologist rob marciano is in atlanta with the latest on the track of this storm. good morning to you, rob. >> reporter: hey, good morning, amy. the center of nicole is still over 100 miles away from atlanta but the rains here have started to arrive in atlanta, georgia. traffic ongoing in peachtree street. lot of school districts have closed in anticipation of this storm. it's kind of front-ready the northern part of where most of the action is. the tornado threat will be ongoing today, huge watch box

from myrtle beach up to virginia beach into richmond until at least 3:00 today so that will make this storm dangerous as will the wind threat for georgia and the smokey mountains, some trees and power lines down. it will arrive in the mid-atlantic today. across the northeast a bit of a mess. >> all right, rob, we thank you, as always. we want to turn to the alarming flu spike. the cdc says so far this season there have been nearly 3 million illnesses, 23,000 hospitalizations and 1,300 deaths from the flu. those numbers nearly doubling from a week ago, our erielle reshef is at a hospital here in new york. good morning to you, erielle. >> reporter: good morning to you, t.j. new york city, d.c. and 14 states are reporting very high levels of flu-like activity and, of course, this is coming as children's hospitals across this country are already feeling the crush from respiratory viruses like rsv.

this morning, health officials with an urgent warning about the staggering surge in cases of the flu. >> here we are again thinking about and planning for a surge that will be really hard for us to absorb over the next couple of months. >> reporter: the rate of hospitalization for this time of year now the highest it's been in a decade. flu season starting earlier and spiking more dramatically than usual. so far the cdc reporting 23,000 people have been hospitalized, 1,300 deaths. those numbers nearly doubling since last week. right now the south getting hit the hardest as the flu typically starts in the south and works its way north, but flu is on the rise across the country. >> there's a lot of people who think that the increases that are happening now are because there's been a lack of exposure over the last couple of years. >> reporter: and the wave of flu crashing on top of children's hospitals, already overflowing with young patients sick with other respiratory illnesses like

rsv. pediatric hospital bed occupancy at 78%, the highest level nationwide in two years. kansas city mom melody cradles her 9-month-old baby mica who's been in and out of the hospital for a week fighting the virus. >> he was grunting and making a lot of noises when he was breathing, so we knew he was having some trouble. >> reporter: doctors expecting a tough holiday season ahead. >> based on what we're seeing, we're still going to be pretty high levels of transmission around the thanksgiving holidays. >> reporter: this morning, the children's hospital in ann arbor is reporting it's at 100% capacity, they are urging parents there to contact their primary care physicians before visiting the emergency department and they also say that this is particularly alarming because we haven't even gotten to the full impact of flu season yet. george. >> okay, erielle, thanks. we're going to get the latest now on the midterm

elections. control of the house and senate still up in the air. key races too close to call including the senate race in arizona where votes are still being counted and terry moran is on the scene in phoenix. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, george. the counting here continues and there are still hundreds of thousands of ballots left to go and officials here tell us that despite what you might read on social media, that is not evidence of suspicious activity it's normal because 90% of arizonans vote by mail and every one of those ballots has got to be scanned, signature checked and verified by a bipartisan adjudication board. none of that can start until election day and all of it is by state law, so this is normal. overnight another 78,000 votes were counted and reported and that batch of votes really boosting democratic incumbent senator mark kelly. he's up by about six percentage points over his republican opponent blake masters over in the governor's race, those votes boosting katie

hobbs, but this race much coser. republican kari lake has a real path to victory. it'll all come down to votes dropped off on election day, but kari lake is now out there hurling accusations of some dark ordinary arizonians will continue the process of counting votes through the weekend. george? >> terry moran, thanks very much. let's bring in rachel scott for a look at the big picture on where things stand, hey, rachel. >> reporter: hey, george, good morning. it is still a waiting game. control of the senate will come down to just three races, so let's start out west where you just heard from terry moran. as he mentioned the incumbent mark kelly up right now, ahead of blake masters, what we're still waiting for here are about 300,000 votes in maricopa county. this is the county that includes phoenix and about 100,000 votes in pima which includes the area right around tucson.

let's take a look at where things stand in nevada right now. you have an even tighter race between the incumbent catherine cortez masto and the republican adam laxalt who is ahead right now by just under 9,000 votes. what's outstanding in this state, about 50,000 votes in clark county which includes the area right outside of las vegas. that could take up until monday for those votes to be counted. the bottom line, in order for democrats to keep control of the senate outright they got to win both of these races in nevada and arizona, otherwise it's all going to come down to that runoff in georgia, george. >> rachel, what about the house? >> yeah, let's take a look at where things stand in the house. there's still about 20 races that have not been projected and we have our eye on some of the tightest races, including this one right in california's central valley outside of fresno. take a look at this. 267 votes separating these two candidates. we're also tracking a very unexpectedly tight race in colorado. this is lauren boebert's district. she's ahead right now by just over a thousand votes.

this is where things stand at this hour as you know, george. it is a race to get to the number 218. that decides majority in the house. republicans almost there. >> okay, rachel, thanks very much. amy. now to that setback for president biden, the federal judge striking down his student debt relief plan. a key piece of his agenda. our senior white house correspondent mary bruce has the details on that, good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, amy. this is a big blow to this president. overnight, a federal judge in texas blocking biden's plan to give millions of americans up to $20,000 in student loan relief. the judge argued that the president had overstepped his authority here. now the white house says they strongly disagree and they have already filed an appeal. but as this fight plays out in the meantime, millions of americans are stuck in limbo. 26 million people have already applied for this program. it is not clear how long the fight is going to last and the key date to watch here is january 1. that is when federal student loan payments are set to restart after a three-year pause for the pandemic. now, the white house says the president is committed to getting americans back on their feet. they think these lawsuits are

politically motivated but it's just not clear, george, if the president is going to be able to keep this key promise to the american people. >> okay, mary, thanks.pamy -- i war in ukraine. ukrainian soldiers have moved into the key city of kherson after putin's troops were ordered to retreat amid new debates over peace negotiations and james longman is on the scene in kherson. good morning, james. >> reporter: good morning, george. we are now in kherson region now that the russians have announced their full evacuation from this area. yesterday we would not have been able to be standing here. this is a village that was right on the front line for months. take a look at the devastation. it is almost absolute. there is shrapnel everywhere. the road is just littered with craters. when the russians withdrew, the ukrainians then took that chance and now they are marching out on kherson city. now, it's very unclear what's actually happening in the city. there is a suggestion there could be ukrainians in kherson right now. the evacuation on the russian part seems to have been very disorganized. some russian soldiers didn't even get their orders to leave

and we have heard reports of some explosions. some having to get boats to get across the river. where does this all leave negotiations? that's still very much a dirty word for the ukrainians. they feel that while so much of their country is still occupied they just cannot talk to russia. amy. >> james longman in ukraine for us, thank you. now to wall street set to open this morning following its best session in two years after the latest consumer price index report showed inflation is slowing down. chief business correspondent rebecca jarvis is here now with more on that. good morning, rebecca. >> reporter: good morning, amy. pwall street likes this sign tht the federal reserve's efforts to cool historic inflation are finally working. prices rose 7.7% in october from a year ago. that is still historically high but they're easing off the records that were set in june when prices were up more than 9% and back then american families were spending almost $500 more a month on the same goods an services as they were the year before. today that number is still higher, but it's not as high. $433 a month more but it's coming down. areas where we're seeing prices

fall, used cars, clothes, medical care, airfare, gasoline is down from its $5 peak but it's been starting to climb again, amy. >> all right, so explain for us, rebecca, why the stock markets then are responding positively to all of this news? >> this just brings down the probability that the fed is going to have to keep these aggressive rate hikes going. in addition to the stock market responding positively we've seen mortgage rates respond, 30-year fixed rate mortgages plunged from 7.2% to 6.6%. that's better news for anyone out there who wants to buy a home, amy. >> better news is good news right now. all right, rebecca, thank you. t.j. it is good news to hear that prices aren't going up as much as many people are looking to the holidays. black friday is two weeks from today, but the black friday deals are already here. our will reeve is here with some strategies to help you save while shopping this holiday season. will, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, to reiterate that black friday two weeks away if you can believe it, and there are many reasons why stuff is more expensive

right now. retailers know it's tough out there. they are offering discounts early and often and we've got expert strategies on how and when to buy and save. with just two weeks until black friday, retailers are out with early deals to grab your attention and your dollars. >> black friday is not here yet. i will say that, but the good news is that we are seeing, you know, early deals from stores like target and best buy that are absolutely the kind of prices that we expect to see. >> reporter: target offering its holiday price match guarantee through christmas eve and right now through saturday, buy two, get one free on select books, video games, puzzles and more. plus, this tcl 65-inch roku smart tv, $400 off. >> michael bolton, did you know that black friday -- >> is now on mondays? sure did. >> reporter: and at walmart for black friday savings keep an eye out for monday deals like this touch chromebook on sale monday for $179. that's 120 bucks off. and at home depot right now this front load washer and dryer on

sale for under 800 bucks each. a $351 savings. >> if you see a good deal on something that you want and then by all means go ahead and get it but keep in mind that the bulk of the best deals are still probably going to come around thanksgiving and black friday. >> reporter: and a note on paying for those purchases. with the average credit card apr now at over 19%, the highest in nearly four decades, experts reminding shoppers to pay off monthly charges immediately. >> it's really only smart to use a credit card if you can pay in full and avoid interest. focus on tackling your debt and maybe put your holiday spending on a debit card instead or use cash. we found that 40% of shoppers are changing their behavior because of inflation. and that includes buying less stuff, starting earlier. >> reporter: to optimize savings experts say make a list of gifts with current prices, then determine a good discount price and be reasonable about what you would pay and sign up for retailers' emails for early

discounts. another word from our experts on credit this holiday shopping season. stay away from those credit cards that stores offer, even if they're offering bonus discounts. the interest rates are often higher long term. guys. >> yeah, every time you check out they say would you like to sign up for a so and so card? >> you do? >> no, i'm tapped out, man. [ laughter ] we have a lot more coming up including turmoil at twitter with exclusive new audio of elon musk with a warning for his employees. and the latest on the crash of the crypto company ftx made famous by associating with big names like tom brady. now let's go to weather. >> nicole continues to dump heavy rainfall and that combination of heavy rain and storm surge led to this video, kayakers moving through the streets and they could see more of the same later today. we'll be right back in just a few minutes. here's a look at what's going on locally.

>> reporter: good morning, t.j. it's been two weeks since musk took over twitter and things have been looking bleak ever since, musk now suggesting if things don't change and fast it could mark the beginning of the end for the social media giant. overnight new twitter owner elon musk in an all hands staff meeting telling workers that they need to return to the office full-time or resign. an exclusive audio excerpt obtained by abc news. >> let me be crystal clear, if people do not return to the office when they are able to return to the office, they cannot remain at the company, end of story. >> reporter: this on the heels of massive layoffs last week, and when asked about staff levels musk downplayed those concerns. >> why is your leadership trying to increase attrition rate if we're already understaffed and barely able to keep things running? >> i'm not trying to increase attrition, but i think we're not understaffed. i think we are overstaffed. that's my opinion which you're welcome to disagree with. >> reporter: doubling down on

the new policy. >> basically, if you can't show up at an office and do not slow up at the office, resignation accepted, end of story. >> reporter: musk can expect strong pushback from employees who claim he is violating their employment contracts. >> he thinks labor protections are trivial but they're anything but trivial for the thousands of workers who are affected by his rash decisions. >> reporter: during the meeting he also told employees that he can't rule out the company filing for bankruptcy in the next year. the federal trade commission issued a warning to twitter saying they are watching the company with deep concern. and now top twitter executives leaving the company include chief information security officer lea kissner. and the head of trust and safety. abc has reached out to twitter for comment, but the company has yet to respond. >> okay, andrew, thanks very much. we turn to chaos in the cryptocurrency market. ftx, one of the biggest players in the digital money market, once valued at $32 billion is now on the verge of bankruptcy. major names in sports and

entertainment including tom brady had signed endorsement deals or are shareholders. rebeck jarvis is back. now federal regulators are involved. >> yes, this story has a lot of tentacles, george. it has sent cryptocurrencies like bitcoin plunging. it's likely wiped out millions of dollars in wealth for high-profile sports figures like tom brady and his ex-wife gisele and now it's raising questions of fraud at one of the world's largest exchanges whose 30-year-old founder also happens to be one of the biggest political donors in the u.s. this morning, shock waves across the world of cryptocurrency as federal regulators reportedly investigate the sudden collapse of ftx, a top crypto exchange. among its shareholders, celebs like star quarterback tom brady and ex-wife supermodel gisele bundchen. >> what do you think? are you in? >> you know what, i'm in. >> reporter: the company striking endorsement deals with the likes of steph curry, naomi osaka and shaquille o'neal and

boasting partnerships buying the name rights to the home of the miami heat, now ftx arena. the platform where users buy and sell digital currencies like bitcoin and ethereum valued at $32 billion earlier this year. >> ftx was an exchange that had a bright sheen on it. it was led by a ceo that was often on capitol hill and being photographed with regulators and lawmakers and so there was this sense that the exchange was very buttoned up. >> reporter: that ceo, 30-year-old sam bankman-fried celebrated as a poster child for transparency in cryptocurrency. >> one of the really innovative properties of cryptocurrency markets are 24/7 risk monitoring engines. >> reporter: but in the last week it all came crashing down after reported financial instability sent customers attempting to withdraw billions.

money ftx didn't have available leading the platform to temporarily halt withdrawals. crypto competitor buynance offering ftx a bailout but then backing out and now ftx's collapse under investigation by the department of justice and the s.e.c. according to "the wall street journal." the journal reporting the ceo allegedly using customer money from ftx to fund risky bets at his other company, a hedge fund called alameda. ftx didn't comment for the report and did not respond to abc's attempt for comment. >> many people believe this will definitely set back the crypto industry for years with the implosion of ftx. >> reporter: bankman-fried who goes by sbf apologizing on twitter for the situation saying he should have done better. the big question now, what happens to ftx customers and their money? the exchange reportedly re-opening withdrawals for some on thursday while others are still unable to access their money. >> if you want to own crypto you need to be aware that this kind

of money just does not act like u.s. dollars in your bank account. when you lose crypto, you cannot call anybody to say, send the money back. >> reporter: mike novogratz who could lose his entire multibillion-dollar investment in ftx spoke out to cnbc. >> this is a tale as old as time to some degree. some charismatic guy with bermuda shorts and floppy hair charmed the best investors in the world. >> reporter: unbelievable. well, ftx's u.s. subsidiary says that withdrawals are not impacted but given the nature of this story you could imagine that anyone with money on the exchange wants it back now. now this morning, ftx has just filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy, the ceo said he's stepping down meantime anyone with a stake in this company, gisele, tom brady, they stand to have their millions or even billions of dollars wiped out.

>> rebecca, the big question, was this a mistake by the founder or a crime? >> well, that's question that the regulators will have to answer here. when you look back there are now deleted tweets by that founder sbf about what was going on and when it happened. the key question, how much did they know and when did they know it? >> okay, rebecca jarvis, thanks very much. >> thank you, rebecca. coming up on "gma," new royals insight. our palace insider talking about the hit show, "the crown," and the character based on him, but up next the new "black panther" is finally in theaters kicking off the holiday movie season. stay with us. i'm getting vaccinated with prevnar 20®. a pfizer vaccine! so am i. because i'm at risk for pneumococcal pneumonia. i'm asking about prevnar 20® because there's a chance pneumococcal pneumonia could put me in the hospital. if you're 19 or older, with certain chronic conditions like copd, asthma, diabetes, or heart disease or are 65 or older, you may be at

good morning to you, erielle. >> reporter: good morning to you, t.j. new york, d.c. and 14 states reporting very high levels of flu-like activity. the hospitalization rate for this time of the year is the highest it's been in nearly a decade with the flu season starting earlier and spiking more dramatically than usual, the cdc reporting that there have been 23,000 people hospitalized with the flu, 1300 people have died. those numbers double what they were last week and, of course, this wave of the flu crashing on top of children's hospitals already coping with the surge in respiratory illnesses like rsv, children's hospital in ann arbor, michigan, reporting they're at 100% capacity. they are telling parents to contact their primary care providers before bringing their children to the emergency departments. they also say this is incredibly concerning because we haven't even seen the peak of the flu season yet. amy. >> that is concerning, indeed. all right, a warning, erielle, thank you very much. now to the latest on inflation after the latest consumer price index report

showed that it is slowing down. chief business correspondent rebecca jarvis is back with more on that. good morning, rebecca. >> reporter: hi, amy. yeah, this is a sign that the federal reserve's efforts to cool historic inflation are finally working. all of those rate hikes. prices rose 7.7% in october from a year ago. that's still historically high but easing off the record set in june when prices were up more than 9%. so areas where prices are falling, used cars, clothes, medical care and airfare. gasoline, which is down from its peak above $5 a gallon is starting to climb again. groceries and rents also continue to climb. now, the reason that the stock market responded so positively is that this brings down the probability the fed will have to continue with those aggressive rate hikes that make borrowing more expensive, guess what, borrowing is getting cheaper in light of this data. we saw mortgage rates respond yesterday. the 30-year fixed rate plunged from 7.2% to 6.6%. that is better news for would-be home buyers.

netflix's "the crown." >> andrew wanted you to start by explaining why you're doing this. >> because i've tried everything. >> reporter: morton was asked to consult on the episode featuring his astonishing partnership with princess diana and their collaboration behind the tell all book "diana: her true story". >> script writers asked what was the color of the wallpaper in my daughter's bedroom because that's where i had an office for a time. >> reporter: the season focusing on the so-called war of the wales during the '90s. >> prince charles famously replied whatever in love means and asked if he was in love with you. how did that make you feel? >> absolutely traumatized. >> reporter: "the crown" criticized for its fictional take on the lives of the royal family with calls for

disclaimers to be added making it clear that it's fiction, not fact. morton says he was stunned by the accuracy of elizabeth debicki's portrayal of diana. >> it left me breathless. and it took me back all those years. i mean, i don't say this very often but i was shaken. >> listened to the tapes? >> he has and have some follow-up question. >> what did he think? >> i think he was a bit shocked. >> what i didn't realize at the time was her sense of isolation, her sense of despair inside the royal system. >> reporter: as the series details the reaction to his first best-seller morton has written about the royal family for decades and now in his new book he's exploring the influence of queen elizabeth ii. >> what impressed me most about her majesty the queen she is a living emblem of keep calm and carry on. >> reporter: the queen, her life, painting an intimate portrait of the woman beloved

for her 70 years on the throne. >> i think the book is a complete picture of her majesty. she was only 25 when she came to the throne and she became the ceo of great britain inc. and it was a tremendous tsunami of responsibility that threatened to overwhelm her and the book charts that exploration. >> reporter: and for the legacy she left behind. >> i hope that readers come away with the human being, she's a woman, a grandmother, a great grandmother. she has a compelling story and hers has been a compelling journey, and we're all sad that she's gone. >> reporter: andrew says learning more about the queen's journey from a shy 25-year-old transforming into a powerful monarch was absolutely fascinating. now his new book is out next tuesday, november 15th. george. >> thank you, maggie. we turn to a health alert. cdc is investigating a listeria

outbreak linked to deli meat and cheese with 16 infections reported. there's been one death. another person lost a pregnancy. our medical contributor dr. darien sutton is here and what should people know about this? >> listeria is due it a bacteria associated with almost 1600 hospitalizations every year and approximately 260 deaths and right now we're trying to figure out the exact cause of the current outbreak. we do know as you said it's associated to deli meat but want to focus on those who are high risk which include those who are elderly, those pregnant and newborn children as well as those immune compromised. the cdc recommends these high risk groups specifically avoid things like deli meats until we get more information. >> now, we've seen reports of death, one pregnancy loss. how serious is that risk? >> the overall risk is relatively low for the general population, however, these high risk groups do have an increased risk of hospitalization and do know with hospitalization comes the risk of death approximately 1 in 20. >> what symptoms should people watch out for? >> the acute symptoms of listeria outbreak infection,

excuse me include nausea and vomiting but some can progress to having invasive infection where it travels with the blood, headache, neck stiffness and muscle aches that present two weeks after exposure. so it's important to understand if you have any of these symptoms and you're high risk, talk to a provider and get checked out. >> dr. sutton, thanks very much. >> of course. we turn to an incredible story this veterans day. decades in the making about america's first black marines. they are finally getting the recognition they deserve in a documentary called "our america: mission of montford point," and are working to piece together the past. >> this beautiful photograph, my handsome grandfather, very handsome gentleman. >> reporter: mallory berger always knew her late grandfather was a u.s. veteran but it wasn't until last year that she learned about his historic legacy. >> something led me to believe that, you know what, i think pa-pa is what we called him was a montford pointer.

>> reporter: the country's first black marines. you see, up until 1942, black men were not allowed to join the corps. >> they were the best and the brightest and the toughest and that's me. >> reporter: an estimated 20,000 strong, but the u.s. military failed to keep records for all but 2,000 of them. >> hundreds of military records were lost due to a major fire but even before the fire, there was no indication that there was a complete record. >> reporter: that's 18,000 pioneering american heroes nearly forgotten. until now. >> i used to be offended when i would read about the tuskegee airmen and buffalo soldiers. i said they're all recognized. i don't see no black marines. that used to bother me. >> reporter: berger and many others on a mission to find the remaining living montford point marines and families of the deceased. >> the majority are in their 90s

or older and we know there will come a point when there won't be any of them but we still have to figure out how we keep the story alive. >> reporter: their story one of adversity, those first marines segregated from their white counterparts, facing brutal discrimination during training and deployment. >> once you came in that gate you forgot about your name because you were either boy or [ bleep ]. >> the whole idea was to frustrate you so much you would quit and go home or stay in. >> reporter: 20,000 stayed many deployed to combat missions in world war ii. >> president roosevelt said, men, you have broken records that the white marines have had for years, send them overseas. >> reporter: in 2011 the united states government finally acknowledged their achievements awarding the congressional gold medal collectively to the montford point marines. >> very emotional day to be for the first time recognized. >> reporter: and this year on the 80th anniversary, five

original members and 11 families of the deceased received re replicas of that medal. >> i stood on the shoulders of my grandfather to see them. to see the ones still here, it's like reaching back in history knowing i came from that, i came from them and it's utterly amazing. >> it reads for outstanding perseverance and courage that inspired social change in the marine corps. >> i say anything about my grandfather today, we did it. we did it. >> the search for more of those montford point marines and their families continue. you can go to our website or contact the montford point marine association if you know a living or deceased member. it is now on hulu and wherever you stream abc on television stations. want to turn to brittany bell from our new york station, wabc, she's in for ginger. t.j., i want to show you some of this amazing video around the time that nicole made landfall. you can see those whipping winds near titusville, florida.

those palm trees shaking in that as well so the center is now moving through georgia. it's going to continue to bring heavy rainfall. also that threat for tornados that includes south carolina, north carolina and virginia. on top of that as nicole interacts with the cold front, that could bring widespread heavy rainfall. on average most spots could pick up between one to two inches of rain today throughout the first half of the weekend but some heavier amounts could fall between two to four inches of rain. that could lead to areas of localized flooding. a lot of that rain will gradually clear out the second half of the weekend. that's what's happening acro

now to the right stuff with our lifestyle contributor lori bergamotto. rebecca just told us grocery prices are still climbing. we know that. if you've been to the store that's not a shocker. right now lori b. with an alternative to the supermarket. a variety of meal kits that could save you big bucks. to shop them scan the qr code at the bottom of your screen. we start with the best overall >> that's right, amy. all of the meal kits we'll show you today serve a family of four. that's how we did it, okay. so we start with the best overall. this is from hellofresh. now, you mentioned grocery prices are up about 13% this year. meal kit prices are up only about 5% to 10%. so you can still get a cost effective dinner. this one from hello fresh gives you a huge variety and that was

largely the reason that we chose it. over 30 different recipes, 70 different seasonal items and we did have people test these out because that's what we do at the right stuff. we make sure people are testing these. what our tester who was feeding a family of six loved go this, she said that she had two very picky eaters that were kids and they absolutely loved this. hello fresh also offers a thanksgiving box and meals here start at $7.99. >> per person? >> per person? that's fantastic. the next one looking for those who want to customize. >> this is from hungryroot. this is a little different than what most people would think of for a meal kit service. it's more like a grocery and delivery service. data has shown us that people who are going to the store spend an average of 43 minutes in the grocery store, 1 1/2 times a week. this took our tester ten minutes to do. she filled out a quiz and was able to get her gluten-free

dairy-free dietary needs met deliciously. you get a ton more than this. so you're getting basically your weekly groceries for around $70, delicious, convenient, dinner, snacks and you get to customize exactly what you want. >> does this come with recipes? >> it does come with recipes, as well. >> this next one is about being affordable. >> yes. this is an amazing value. our best value, in fact, from dinnerly. now, this one, the meal, this -- you can see it's steak with truffle fries. >> yum. >> i know, right? >> my favorite. >> $5.29 and you can get this -- >> wow. >> table for your whole family. $5.29. what i will say about them you will notice recipe cards. you don't get that with dinnerly because they're trying to pass along savings to you so it's a great value-based delicious, i would say, fast, fresh affordable meal. speaking of fast and fresh, we're going to move to our most convenient. this is from home chef. now, home chef has a really impressive amount of different options.

we chose the oven ready option and you'll see, it comes actually with this pan. >> that's great. >> it's great, right. so it makes dinner, cleanup and prep really easy, what our tester said about this she couldn't believe how delicious it was and also how convenient it was. it was just so easy to have everything right there and then get -- >> you don't have to think about anything. i love that. >> exactly and $7.99. again, great for families, right? this one i'm actually really excited about. this is our best plant-based kt. i don't know about you but i have a lot of trouble trying to work vegetables into my family's meals so purple carrot is our best plant-based option. what we loved about this is that it really gave you some chef forward inspirational creative ideas of what to do with vegetables. the tester who tried this out actually is not a vegetarian and she was so pleased with how much she loved all of the different vegetables and how gourmet everything tasted. so it's a really great way to get vegetables in your diet. around $11 per meal so all is so

whether you can cook your thanksgiving dinner in an air fryer. short answer? >> you can't do the whole thing. as you can see by the size the turkey is bigger so the size is the only limiting factor but doesn't mean it's an awesome workhorse for thanksgiving dinner. >> would there be ways if you cooked not a whole turkey but turkey breast or cut it up? >> absolutely. if you just want to do the breast the air fryer is wonderful. basically a small confection oven. if you cook in your oven and it fits in here it will be great. it is awesome for smaller gatherings which a lot are still doing. >> we shouldn't attempt if i have 40 people coming over to do it in an air fryer. >> yes and no. we can use in salad. we have garlic here, roasted garlic is wonderful and so many applications. we'll use it in this dressing. 400 degrees for just 20 minutes in here and then you can squeeze it out. those gorgeous, gorgeous cloves. >> all right. >> so we'll use some of this in a quick little vinaigrette so we

have a little bit of salt and pepper. which is key for any salad, vinegar in here and we'll whisk in our oil. so this is just a really nice easy way to do it. we won't just stop at the dressing. we have a lot of components for the salad and you can put these to use in other ways, as well. so a little of this dressing on here. >> that smells good. and this is just a lovely salad, obviously thanksgiving needs a salad. a lot of people don't do it but it's important. everything else is heavy and rich. so we also have other components, croutons, we have nuts and seeds all done in the air fryer as well tossed with olive oil and salt and these take one to three minutes. >> okay. >> really simple. >> so as we're thinking about, maybe making the whole meal but even if you don't do the whole meal this can speed up your process and make the cooking easier. >> absolutely, yeah, if you wouldn't mind helping me put

croutons on here. >> where do they go? >> still making the salad. >> a little there. i'll do a few nuts here. >> what kind of salad -- do you call this anything in particular? throwing everything but the kitchen sink in. >> mixed greens in it and nuts and seeds and fruit so it feels really kind of festive and holiday. it's got to compete with a lot of other stuff on the table. >> let's do veggies. veggies could be a good thing. >> brussels sprouts a mainstay. we want them crispy, not steamed and sogged out like the old days. and so the air fryer is fabulous for that and use a little salt and a little bit of oil. >> okay. >> a lot of good stuff there. so we just toss those and go into our air fryer so we go at 350 degrees until they're crispy and take a look here. >> oh, come on. oh, come on. >> those look good, right? >> come on, man. >> beautiful and brown. they get those crispy edges on there. >> how long did that take? >> this took about 20 minutes so

it's really not bad at all. and it frees up your oven. that's the beautiful thing. can you have your turkey in the oven and not worried about the sides. serve with lemon wedges or creamy lemon chive dip. >> sorry, put my hands all in this stuff. i'm sorry. i'm still behind in my air fryer game. is there a large, medium? >> this is a pretty standard size countertop option and really nice with the drawer. very easy to clean and deal with. you can get a toaster oven size but we like these. >> my green bean situation. >> we know green beans are popular on thanksgiving. usually a little more sogged out with mushroom and these cook in the fryer and goat cheese, sundried tomatoes and sesame seeds. >> you're telling me i can make a pie in it. >> close to a pie and so we're actually got this gorgeous apple crisp here and it's fabulous because, you know, it gives you

everything that a pie does basically. we have this oven safe dish in here which is really amazing. anything you put in your oven you can put in an air fryer. a lot of people don't think to do this. to finish up, nice tender apples here and have a little crumble topping here, a little crisp topping, oats and flour. we've got butter in there as well. just kind of mix that up and then we'll top it and so it's a fabulous thing. all this other stuff but it's d- nice to have a lot of variety for desserts, everyone wants something else. you can do this and have something for everyone on the table. >> this is absolutely incredible. look, i have resisted getting it. i'm sorry. this is good. what did you tell me this was here? >> this is a lemon and chive dip. kind of mayonnaise based. really creamy. that's good. >> so good. >> the air fryer does so much. we have a couple of books, we have air fryer perfection which is classics and healthy book also and you can do so much in it and because it's not real deep frying you can use a lot less oil with it. >> folks, don't write in. i know my hands -- i'm not supposed to do this. i'm sorry.

>> you can try the crisp. still working on the main course, i don't know. >> i should probably get some gum before george and robach get upset with me with my chive breath. this is great, great stuff. thank you for this. folks, scan the qr code, also on goodmorningamerica.com. you can see dan on "america's test kitchen: the next generation" premiering next month. one-on-one with our november "gma" book club author. stay with us.

>> announcer: monday, it's garth brooks live on -- >> good morning, america. >> announcer: then tuesday, sir elton john. he invited robin into his home. >> so good to see you. >> announcer: right before his final performances on "the yellow brick road" tour. >> i just got goose bumps thinking of it. >> announcer: the interview you'll have to see on -- >> good morning, america. we're back with our book club pick for november. "someday, maybe" by onyi nwabinelli is an unconventional love story about loss and resilience. our deborah roberts sat down with the author to talk all about it. take a look. >> reporter: it's a stunning portrait of grief and all it entails. in "someday, maybe" author onyi nwabinelli unleashing a tidal wave of emotions from page one. we meet eve, a 32-year-old woman blindsided by her husband's sudden suicide. but in the darkness light creeps in.

how would you describe the overall premise of this book? >> it's a love story at its core. that's the vein that flows throughout all of the book, love between spouses, love between family, love between friends, so, yes, you're dealing with grief and suicide and death and it is heavy but you have humor in there and at its core you have love. >> this is not a skip through the park. >> no. >> it's a tough novel. what led you to want to explore grief and suicide? >> "someday, maybe" is a bit of a love story to one of my very dear friends, she experienced a similar loss. her husband died by suicide. very unexpectedly and her ask to me was to write about the grief surrounding that and i did as best as i could. i tackled that and poured everything i could, all my love and everything that i felt for her into this novel. >> reporter: eve is messy and at

times unlikable as she struggles to pull herself from the depths of despair despite unshakable support from family and friends. she's got so many people around her who are loving her and trying to lift her up but she doesn't want to be lifted up. she talks about her husband as if he was perfect. >> yeah. >> why did you choose that route and is that typical? >> i think it is a little bit typical. not even just about people that are sadly dying by suicide but people who have died in general, we put them on a pedestal. eve took that to extreme. this man was perfect so i don't get why this happened. she didn't want to move on. she felt it would be betrayal. >> eve is a nigerian londoner and used the igbo language a lot. how important was it to we have in your nigerian culture? >> because it's such a heavy topic and the way nigerians and igbos use customs, i needed to add levity to the story as well.

we support each other through everything. >> reporter: onyi hoping eve's journey will help readers navigate any battle with loss. >> my message was that nobody grieves the same. there is no one size way fits all to get to where you're going to your new vision of normal. if it touches one person and someone says, i feel seen here, i think my job would have been done. >> reporter: for "good morning america," deborah roberts, abc news, new york. >> and our thanks to deb for that. "someday, maybe" is out now and as always, be sure to keep reading along with us on our instagram @gmabookclub. now over to brittany bell. hey, brittany. >> snow lovers, i want you to take in this video. a beautiful sight at arizona's snow bowl in flagstaff. see that white powder all on the ground. they picked up about three inches of snow this week and the resort opens next week for skiers and snowboarders. so another storm system approaches the pacific northwest over the next few days lasting throughout this weekend.

on average they could pick up between one to three inches of snow but some of the mountains could get close to a foot of snow once all is said and done and that's preview this week's episode of "power trip" watching our embedded reporters race to election day. some are excited to return home but control of congress as you know still up in the air. i warned them that some of them are still going to be there for weeks and now it's true. ♪ >> things are getting crazy, correspondents are coming to town. everybody wants our feeds. >> all the days are blurring together. all the events are blurring together. >> it's a strange experience but

♪ we're back now with our "gma" buzz pick. this week it's "the rewind" by allison winn scotch and here she is to tell us all about it. >> hi, "gma." i'm allison winn scotch and this is my book, "the rewind" which is about two acrimonious exes who haven't seen each other in a decade and who begrudgingly reunite on their old pledge -- college campus and wake up with wedding bands on their fingers with no memory of what happened the night before. i think of it as a mash-up of "the hangover" meets "when harry meets sally" and chock-full of '80s and '90s music so to paraphrase it, be kind, pick up "the rewind." >> that was a good pitch. "the rewind" is out now and keep reading along with us @gmabookclub. >> she described one of my nightmares. all right, want to turn now

here, "gma" to actress gugu mbatha-raw, one of the stars of "the morning show" and "loki" working to shed light on a humanitarian crisis. maggie spoke to her all about this. maggie rulli joins us once again. hey there, maggie. >> reporter: hey, t.j. good morning. gugu normally spends her time traveling and filming all over the world. but she said it's been her work with the u.n.'s refugee agency that's been most rewarding and life changing. she plays the complicated villain in "loki" known for her heartfelt portrayal on "the morning show." >> i find stories for a living. that's what i do. >> reporter: now gugu mbatha-raw is shining in a new kind of role as goodwill ambassador for the u.n.'s refugee agency, unhcr traveling to rwanda and uganda where thee visited refugee camps

and to the democratic republic of congo. >> it's been an intense week. just because it's not in the headlines means it's not going on and, in fact, the very day that i lef fresh fighting broke out. >> reporter: gugu sat down with us just days after she got back. what did you see when you were there on the ground? >> i saw families put into very, very difficult situations of having to make these impossible choices between the most basic things, thousands of women are unaccounted for that have been kidnapped that are missing that have been through horrendous, horrendous violence so it's really moving and but also inspires me to keep telling their stories. >> reporter: she raises funds to ring essentials to the area like shelter, food, medicine, and the opportunity to bring education to refugee kids.

how do you balance being a representative with being an actress? >> i feel so privileged to have this platform and i feel privileged to have the time and the emotional capacity and the means to be able to spread the word and humanize a very difficult and complex situation. and i think when you are able to feel that shared humanity it's impossible not to open your heart to help. >> reporter: right before heading to the congo to do her work gugu wrapped up filming season 2 of "loki." playing the role of a villain was like tapping into a totally different side of her personality. guys, she also says it's always pretty awesome to be able to be a part of the marvel universe. amy. >> yeah, i can only imagine. she's doing so much. maggie, thank you so much and we will be right back. much. maggie, thank you so much and we will be right back. . she's doing so much. maggie, th
