to 36 hours is its closest proximity to the outer banks. tonight through tomorrow morning, gusts up to 65, and 38 there even in parts of virginia, and then this cold front and associated trop comes through, and pushes to the east and you will see this hard right turn, and then out in the atlantic. doesn't mean you won't see 7 to 10-foot waves you through massachusetts and rhode island though, and then 15-foot surf in cape hatteras, north carolina. >> reporter: good morning. we're feeling those intense wind gusts. just look at the waves. massive waves coming ashore here. some going down the street right through the dunes here. i want you to look at the issue here. you have all these homes and there is a state of emergency in place in this county. you see these homes? they are on stilts, but look at these houses. they are not that elevated so that's a real concern for

flooding. i want you to look at this incredible image right now. we saw this wash up ashore here just yesterday. this is a potential ordnance. an unexploded ordnance, some kind of world war ii era, and it washed up on this beach north of here. that's how strong these waves have been. this mandatory evacuation is in place for all visitors to hatteras island, that's where we are now. the center of the storm 210 miles away, and this area is expecting the tropical storm force winds, and a lot of rain. again, the concern, looking at these waves, and the concern is wind, and tides, and people are concerned. >> still talking about maria. >> maria left so much destruction across puerto rico that the governor is now warning of a humanitarian crisis. the storm has killed at least 16 people there, and look at these stunning before and after pictures showing how much of the island is

collapse into a humanitarian crisis. >> eight hours waiting for gas. just waiting for gas. >> reporter: this satellite image shows the island looks almost blacked out from space. with only 5% of electricity restored so far, the citizens who live here are suffering in unbearable heat without basic supplies. much of the wear undrinkable. 80% of the crops decimated, and police guarding lines for gas that are hours long. >> people are running out of food. they are fighting. everyone basically is fighting in the stores, in the street, in the gas lines. you know, it's -- it's really, really survival mode right now. >> reporter: the white house is expected to send relief at the beginning of october, but many are concerned that will be too late. celebs like mark anthony tweeting, do something about our people in need in puerto ri

let's begin with puerto rico. the president had that tweet last night, but also seemed to criticize the island. >> reporter: yeah, george, and he went on in those tweets to emphasize that island's massive debt crisis, all the money owed to wall street, and by our count since saturday, the president has tweeted about sports 23 times. about puerto rico just three times. as you can imagine the criticism has been pouring in from celebrities to members of congress on capitol hill. the white house response to this, they say, the fema administrator has been on the ground, and the adviser to the president was on the ground. they say the federal response has been unprecedented, but look, the president is likely to face a lot more criticism if he is tweeting about this debt crisis while millions of people are still without power. >> this fight with the nfl continues into this morning. yesterday at the white house press briefing, you pressed the press

>> reporter: does the president believe there are very fine people who kneeled yesterday or are they all s.o.b.s? >> you're trying to conflate things here. we respect the rights people have, but we have to focus. this is about the president being for respecting our country through symbols like the american flag. >> and cecilia, the president seems to be enjoying this fight. >> reporter: yeah. they are just absolutely defiant on this one. as you just mentioned, he is back up and tweeting again about this. take a look. it says, ratings for nfl football are way down, except for game starts when people tune in to see whether or not our country will be disrespected. the white house says this is not about race or the president being against something. they say this is not about him not being focused on other priorities. they say this is about president trump defending patriotism, but with those images right there, as you can see, so many people on fields and outside of fields across this country completely disagr

disagree. >> a lot more division on this one. cecilia vega, thanks very much. >> he is obsessed with ratings. more on the republicans' last-ditch effort to repeal the affordable care act. time is running out. gop lawmakers are facing a saturday deadline and our congressional correspondent, mary bruce, is on capitol hill with the latest on where things stand. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, robin. after seven years, republicans still can't agree on a path forward to overhaul obamacare. this morning, three republicans are now a no, which means for now, this latest health care bill isn't going anywhere. with the bill facing a growing backlash -- [ chanting ] this morning, the latest republican health care plan appears to be dead. maine senator susan collins delivering what is the fatal blow saying she cannot support the bill. >> it is clear to me that the graham/cassidy bill was not the answer. >> reporter: her objections to

the deep cuts to medicaid. weakened protections to people with pre-existing conditions, and the fear that premiums for many would likely rise. she joins rand paul and john mccain, but they are vowing to fight on. >> we're going to press on, and it's okay to vote. it's okay to fall short if you do for an idea you believe in. >> reporter: opposition to the bill boiled over on monday as protesters took to the halls of the capitol. >> if you want a hearing, you better shut up. >> reporter: protesters hauled off and arrested. many in wheelchairs. this woman came from wyoming for her voice to be heard. her daughter is in a wheelchair. her daughter-in-law, battling her fourth round of cancer. what do you want lawmakers to hear from you and everyone else in this line? >> be human. care. care about insurance for everyone. not just yourselves or your relatives. care about everyone, even the poor.

>> reporter: so what comes next here? well, republicans will now likely have to work with democrats on a bipartisan solution to repair obamacare, but for now, their signature promise to repeal and replace it is out of reach, george. >> they have to decide whether to pull the plug around noon today. thanks very much. president trump facing a test at the polls and the president is pushing for luther strange. he is facing a strong republican primary challenger, and that person is backed by steve ban. abc's chief national correspondent, tom llamas, is in mobile. >> for whatever reason, god has put me in this election -- >> reporter: overnight, former alabama chief justice, roy moore, making it clear, he is going to defend the second amendment. >> i believe in the seconded amendment. >> reporter: and this morning, political trouble could be

horseback. moore will ride to the polls to vote for himself in the senate republican primary. >> i ron the last time i rode a horse. >> reporter: he is facing luther strange who is backed by president trump. >> they want to see what the people of alabama do tomorrow. >> reporter: moore has won over some of the trump's most prominent supporters, including the president's former chief strategi strategist, steve bannon, who is breaking with the president in this race. >> we did not come here to defy donald trump. we came to praise and honor him. >> reporter: who should they vote for? >> i came down here for judge roy moore. >> reporter: but the president is sticking by luther strange. >> i say, senator, i need your help. i said, i got to get your vote on health care. he says, you have got it. >> reporter: senator strange was appointed to jeff sessions' seat when sessions was

attorney general. he is the tallest person to serve in the senate. >> i said, that is the tallest person i have ever seen. that's why i call him big luther. >> reporter: but he is facing a big challenge in moore who is well known by conservatives for refusing a federal order to remove a ten commandments monument from a judicial building, and later suspended as a judge for ignoring the supreme court ruling on legalizing same-sex marriage. strange who campaigned with mike pence overnight is banking on that white house support to deliver victory. >> the vice president and the president of the united states, came here on my behalf, and it means more than i can possibly say. >> reporter: now strange and his supporters which include a superpac linked to senator mitch mcconnell have poured millions into attack ads in this race, but local reports show moore on top, and president trump tweeted this morning saying,

the alabama poll since my endorsement. finish the job. vote today for big luther. robin? >> we'll see what happens. all right, tom. this morning, tensions are escalating with north korea. they say they have the right to shoot down american war planes. martha raddatz is here with the latest, and this comes in response to our u.s. bombers flying into north korea? >> absolutely. they flew further north. they were off the coast about 200 miles than they have in decades. this was a show of force. they could not be shot down 200 miles off that coast. they are away from north korean artillery and rockets, but the north koreans put out a prop gran da video shooting down our bombers, but jim mattis says he hopes to solve this diplomatically. >> are we close to a conflict here? >> they are trying to avoid that, but that could always happen, robin. >>

[ cheers and applause ]

thank you, lara. we'll turn to our health alert. that headline about women and prescription painkillers and why they are becoming addicted. we'll talk to jen ashton in a moment, but first a look at the new report. >> reporter: this morning, the report revealing that women are most at risk when it comes to opioids. 30% more prescriptions written for women than for men. 40% for female surgery patients become persistent users like 39-year-old christina cruz miller, mother of three daughters. >>dy what they said, i followed up with my doctor. i trusted him. >> reporter: christina says he was prescribed okaysy cotton after removing cysts from her ovaries and had never haergd of the drugs before, but became addicted to prescription pills for 3 1/2 years. overdosing twice before beginning her road to recovery. >> i hated what i

embarrassed and ashamed and was content my family would be better off without me. >> reporter: that new report funded by pacira, called united states for nondependence, and opioid overprescribing, finds seven common surgeries are often being prescribed far more pills than they need. >> what's startling and really bothersome in the study is the number of patients that are on opioids well after the surgery has been completed. >> reporter: the study concluding 3 million patients continued taking them three months or longer after surgery, and christina is not alone. 11.7 billion opioid painkillers like oxy cotton and vicodin were prescribed in 2016. if you laid them down end to end, they would crisscross the country 50 times. >> more people die from opioid prescription

heroin per year. >> that is startling. dr. jennifer ashton is here. you can be in pain after post-surgery. are there any other options though? do people -- should we ask questions as a patient? >> 100% because an informed patient is the most ideal patient, but it's a catch 22 here because pain delays surgical healing and recovery so there's the balance about giving other options. if you are facing surgery, you want to ask a couple of questions. could you make inflammatories or use ice therapy. sometimes that's an option. you should always request the lowest dose if you need an opioid narcotic for the shortest period of time. it's basic pharmacology, and our awareness needs to be ratcheted up and we're talking about this class of medication. >> this number will startle people. according to the cdc, 33,000 died from overdoses in 2015. many what do we know about the

going on, robin in the area of research medicine. it's the reward system in the brain is hijacked and we don't know why people are prone to become addicted. we know it happens, and you have to be aware of the warning signs. if you are taking more opioid narcotics and you can't cut down, that's a sign. if you are constantly nauseated or vomiting, itchy, sedated, or have pinpoint pupils, these are signs you need to seek help. this can be life-threatening and we see that every single day. >> as a doctor, why are women prescribed it more than men? >> again, another sex gender issue. we don't know that. women suffer more chronic pain than men, and they seem to be given, you know, higher doses for longer periods of time. they are often on other medications that have been implicated in these overdose deaths, and again, pregnancy. this is a massive problem in my specialty. we're

women already come in dependent on narcotics and infants born addicted. big push to lower this problem. >> as a patient, we need to ask other options, right? >> 100%. we need the do better. >> as always. thank you. george and lara? moving onto "dancing with the stars." the first couple eliminated last night. >> they flew all night long to be with us. we'll talk to them in just a moment, but first, here's a look at last night's showdown. >> reporter: the stakes were high in the ballroom monday night. it was the first elimination of the season. >> that was a super duper dance. >> reporter: taking over the ballroom, vanessa lachey, and property brothers drew scott, fighting to make it through. still the couples came to dance. three couples tied for first place. jordan fisher, and the dueling brothers fighting for the top spot. >> it's undeniable how

incredible you are. >> reporter: barbara corcoran investing big in her tango this week. >> you have been investing in the right things. >> reporter: but when the results were in, the "shark tank" judge wasn't able to close the deal. >> barbara and keo. >> and they are here with us. >> you flew all night long. i just want to start by asking you because you're usually on the other side. you're usually judging on "shark tank" so how was it to have the shoe on the other foot? >> it's so much better to be a judge. it was horrific and i thought i was fabulous. nobody agreed with me. >> were they fair? >> very much so. they were totally fair, and i can't argue with that. i don't like the results, but they are what they are. i'm used to coming in first. i thought i would come in first. i'm first

>> but as always, a great sense of humor, but do you feel like you left it all on the dance room floor or is there something you could have done differently? >> not at all. keo teaching me. he was distracting. he is so god damn delicious. >> it's your fault, keo. >> i guess it's my fault. i tried to put my clothes on all the time. and i think there was a part of my body that she always says, the clavicle right here. >> he has a clavicle right here. show them the clavicle. >> let's stop there. >> let's stop there. when he sweats, he gets a pool of sweat there. that was so distracting. >> barbara. you need to focus on the feet, not the clavicle. >> you try dancing with this guy. see how f

[ applause ] >> we have a special audience member with us right now. kevin to lee ro'leary. >> oh, no. >> what happened? i was the only shark that believed in you. i wanted you to go all the way. i was the one that bought you the new broom so you could get there on time every morning. >> that old joke? real kevin? i thought he was taller than this guy. >> barbara, you were spectacular. i wish i could be there tonight to watch you, but oh. you're not there anymore. >> unbelievable. >> kevin, let me ask you a question. are you sure my contract hasn't expired on "shark tank"? >> barbara, you did great. and we're all spoupporting you r the next time. >> he has the personality beyond the show. everyone would feel sorry for

him. sympathy votes count, but if you notice how he walks. he walks exactly like a duck. show your walk here. there's no chance this guy could do it. >> you're throwing the gauntlet down. i'm going to get on "dancing with the stars" and kick your highny. >> oh, yeah? >> wow, kevin. >> neither one will be there, but there will be another elimination. watch it here on abc. let's go to ginger. hey. it's her 50th birthday from pittsburgh, pennsylvania. we are celebrating, and we have an update on maria. the national hurricane center showing it still moving north at 7 miles per hour. that ridge that has been making it feel like summer here, it's been suppressing it for only a time though. tonight into tomorrow morning. 2 feet of storm surge possible, and 1 to 2 inches of rain. gusts you saw there before we kick this thing out to sea as we end the weeksterday. in fact, wh more clouds from maria today, highs will reach the low to mid 80s. much lower than the 91 we peaked at yesterday at reagan national.

"shark tank"'s kevin o'leary back with us. he is giving us tips from the tank and helping us make smart money decisions. thank you. >> thank you. glad to be here. >> everybody wants to know how to save money and make money. what's your best advice for maintaining -- hit that button. what's your best advice for maintaining

>> it's not just a credit card. everybody should have two credit cards. one with a low limit, and you can put this number out because it's maced out at 25, and it's on the internet. you have to care about that, and then you keep a second one for yourself personally with a higher limit of $10,000, but you never put this one online. this is the one that you use for larger purchases, but in both cases, you have to pay these puppies off every month. every single month. you never want to have a balance because you get charged interest between 7% and 23%, and that's a lot. >> that's a lot. at the end of the month. too much on in the first place. >> when you have a credit card t benefit is you build a credit history and that helps you in life, but you have got to pay it off every month. every month. that's the key. >> hit the button for question number two. here we go. all right. here we go. question number two. what's the best way to save

your retirement on a modest salary? >> when you get your first job, the average salary in america is $52,000. you have to take your tax earnings and informers vest it long-term. if you start in your 20s, by the time you're 65, you will have about $1.2 million. do it by not buying all that crap you don't need. keep that 10%, and you will be safe when you are old. it's scary to invest. i'll tell you what's scary. being 65 years old with no investments. >> you have heard a lot of wows here. what crap can i eliminate now? we'll have members of our audiences. what percentage of your salary do you think you should save every year? >> 10%. >> that's it. but what do you save? >> about 8%. >> bump it up

bump it up 2% more, and you will be a millionaire when you are 65. [ applause ] >> so 10% is what you recommend. >> it's not what i recommend. it's what you have got to do. you can't assume someone will be there for you when you are 65. you have to put money away. this is crucial. >> hit that button one more time. here we go. our money will spin it. wh what are your top pick for investors? >> i like companies with big balances that pay dividends that are in different sectors so i get diversify occasion. johnson & johnson. i love it. home depot, i love it. exxon. they all pay dividends and i love dividends. >> one more for good luck's sake. we'll be right back.

it was minus 38. we were in the canadian rockies. it was beautiful. i loved working in canada so much, and our crew were incredible, but it was one of those things where i would look at the temperature gauge going down and down and down, and i would get in the car, and i would say minus 9. only minus 9, and then minus 22, and i would be, like, stop. i would be afraid for, like, what would happen when i stepped out of the car. >> how can you formulate words? >> your face freezes. your pee freezes. things like that. you have an appreciation, you know, for comforts in life. let me tell you. yeah. for a decent bathroom. >> and you do a lot of your own stunts, so how do you do that in those kind of conditions? it adds to it. >> it does add to it, and i felt for a start, we were a very small crew,

altitude, we were flying up to 10,000 feet every day, and, you know, when we got up there, there was just this tight knit group of people and when i take on a part in a film, i believe playing the whole part. you can sometimes tell or if it's filmed on the back of the character's head, and it was important to me on this one to do it as much as i possibly could. >> you felt it was you the entire time, and you were on the screen. basically you two -- >> lovely idris elba. i know, girls. i know. it's an interesting thing. it's an interesting thing because, you know, i go off and have these wonderful experiences making films and i come home, and they are, like, it's great to see. let us live vicariously. >> you worked with leonardo dicaprio. >>

hollywood friendships that, you know, i just feel very, very blessed to have. >> every time we see you guys photographed together and a video of you, everyone gets excited. it's very special. >> i wish there was a soap opera version of the story where jack and rose did end up together, you know, but no. >> we get so excited whenever you come here. it's awesome to have you here. it really is. >> thank you so much. >> "the mountain between us" hits

and a mild morning here in times square. welcome back to "good morning america." you know, my new friends -- did you know that trevor city, michigan, way up there, 95 degrees for three days in a row. >> in trevor city? >> if you are not familiar, it's very hot. this was in bloomburg, pennsylvania. they had temperatures around 90, and hydrating as much as possible. people dealing with the late season heat, but that ridge, and high pressure system that has been in place, will eventually break down. chicago, your 90s streak will endyesterday. in fact, with more clouds from maria today, highs will reach the low to mid 80s. much lower than the 91 we peaked at yesterday at reagan national.

remains a low end category 1 hurricane moving north off the u.s. coast. rough surf this is one of the best audiences we have had outside in weeks. hot out here. >> you have a great audience outside. and we have a great audience inside as well. [ cheers and applause ] and now we have a great guest. we're going to go to the highly anticipated sequel that was 35 years in the making. we're talking about "blade runner." we're so excited to have harrison ford, the star of the original in the sequel here with us, and he didn't show up empty-handed. he brought us a sneak peek. take a look. >> i heard the piano. don't lie. it's rude. you're a cop. >> i'm not here to take you in. >> oh,

then what? >> i just have some questions. [ cheers and applause ] >> and we have some questions. we have some questions too. give it up for harrison ford, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] so many years in the making. >> yeah. >> what is it like for you? is it easy for you just to step back into this role? >> yeah, if i have got something to do and i know what to do, you know, what to do about it, and i have got great company of course. ryan gosling, our director did a fantastic job. it's a beautiful film to see, and it's a very -- it's a very strong, strong movie. >> and you and i talked a little bit earlier, but this is a movie you need to see in the theater. you need that surround sound. >> that would be a

this is too big to get on your phone or -- on the television set. and it's -- i mean, it's -- i'll tell you what the other thing is. it's really nice to go into a darkroom with a bunch of people you don't know, and experience your -- your common humanity, you know? >> yeah. >> and it's about that. so it's really -- it really would be worth going to a theater if you can. >> and 35 years since the first "blade runner." so for you, is there any hesitation when they say, we want to make "blade runner 2049"? >> it depends on the great story, and the confidence on the people that are involved and i had that. >> also after 33 years, you brought back han solo. you're just doing it. [ applause ] >> an

>> is there anyone else you want to bring back? >> i just want, you know, i wanted to bring back characters that audiences have enjoyed seeing. i wanted to be able to develop their stories in an interesting way. i want to give them a little bit something different, and then i'll go and leave them alone. >> but you have had so many great, memorable characters that we would never get tired. there are a few that i can suggest to come back. when "blade runner" came out, ryan gosling was 2 years old. how was it working with him? >> it was great. he has learned to talk. and run and jump down, and he is a hoot. he is great. >> but i hear you punched him in the face onset. was that an accident or -- a slipup?

>> we were doing an action scene, and i threw 80 punches. one connected. that's really a bad record on my part. >> but, you know, we have a big fan of yours, he is 15 years old, and he wants to ask you a question. where are you? >> how are you, mr. ford? hi. mr. ford, my name is eric, and you have been my favorite actor for my entire life. and my question for you today is, what is your most important piece of advice for someone who is looking to get into the film industry? >> thanks for the question, eric. i think the answer is find out how to be useful. figure out how to make it not about you, but make it about the project, about the story. just be useful. >> thank you. >> very good. very good. [ applause ] >> and i love eric's shirt too. "raide

>> i didn't miss it. >> you didn't miss that? you're such a cool guy, man. you're on the october cover of "gq" magazine, and you are the only person -- this says a lot. you're the only person on the cover who the photographer said -- wore your own clothes. you went to your own closet and said, this is good enough. we got money raining down. >> well, you know, i -- i wasn't there to sell somebody else's clothes. >> but in 37 years, you're the only person -- so you kind of in this movie, "blade runner," you kind of dress like you are on the "gq" cover, so did you go in your closet and do your own thing? >> i didn't do it for the movie. that wasn't my t-shirt in the movie. i didn't have 15 of them, you know, i guess i

he came over to see if i had anything that suited what they were looking for for the cover. i met him wearing that shirt, so he said, why don't you wear that? he talked me into it. >> you made it work, and you're make "blade runner 2049" work as well. it hits theaters on october 6th. go check out mr. harrison ford. congress up, stephen king is he

we have stephen king talking about his story, "it." it's one of the biggest movies out right now. now he and his son are here talking about "sleeping beauties." great to see you guys. welcome. i want to talk about the book. but first i have to ask you about "it."

people going to see it this summer. what did you think of it? >> well, i was a little bit surprised by how successful it was, but i think everybody loves a clown. and so, you know, it -- yeah. it's been a great thing. >> it's really been something. the sequel coming out now in 2019 as well. so let's talk about "sleeping beauties," and owen, this was your idea. >> we pitch ideas in the family all the time. it's a bunch of writers in the family. my mother is a writer and my brother is a writer, and i said, how about a story about all the women in the world not waking up one day? all of them? my dad said, that is a great idea. i said, why don't you write it? because i wasn't, you know, i immediately knew it would be horrible, and sounded like a stephen king book. >> this is probably a question you can't answer. where does an idea like that come from? all the women in the world asleep. >> people ask you where you get your ideas, right? >> there's a little used idea

they just, you know, i could tell you where they come from, but then i would have to kill you. no. i mean, they come from everywhere, really. and when owen pitched this idea to me, when he brought this idea up, i just, you know, all the lights went green inside my head, and i said, there are so many things you can do with this. i mean, first of all, how would men fold their shirts? you know, who would clean the ring in the toilet? all these things -- >> you know that. >> men don't do. i thought, we got a real possibility here. >> you wanted him to write it. >> yeah. so eventually we just agreed to collaborate, and that was the -- that was the compromise. >> this is the first time you collaborated. you're both writers of course. how did it go? >> it went pretty well. >> it went great. >> we're still here, you know? >> we

and i would do a section, and he did a section, and we would re-write, and people want us to say we batted back and forth, but he didn't. >> you didn't? >> i would have an idea, and he would say no. >> he is the youngest of my wife and i's three children, and he is the bossiest, so basically if he says do this, then i pretty much did that, you know. but it worked out pretty well. we did re-write each other, and the result was it was almost like a third voice to the book. i want people to know who wrote what. sometimes we can't remember. >> i get to play oprah now. you're all going home wit
