have we found it. we're in southwestern virginia outside of roanoke. it started snowing at 5:00 this morning and it's accumulating quickly. up until last night the biggest threats with this storm have been rain, severe storms and patchy ice, but now the focus is the heavy snow and from now through saturday conditions are only going to get worse. overnight a possible tornado touched down near hattiesburg, mississippi, downing trees and power lines and destroying a mobile home. part of a monster storm system slamming the south and east. this morning 88 million people could be impacted by some form of nasty winter weather, that's roughly one out of every four americans. >> this winter storm is only going to get worse. >> reporter: all along the east coast from north carolina to new york people are bracing for the worst. this caravan of power crews drove from florida to north carolina preparing for up to half an inch of ice and the power outages almost certain to follow.

overprepared and hopefully underwhelmed. >> reporter: a state of emergency is already in effect in five states, maryland and d.c.'s kick in this morning. starting later today and through the weekend the washington, d.c. area will be the winter storm capital of the nation, an anticipate ing two feet or more. it's reminiscent of the 2010 snow they called snowmageddon or snowpocalypse which paralyzed the city for days. this one is likely to be worse. >> earlier i had 18 to 24. i'm now going 20 to 30 inches of snow, plus it's going to take a from that. so our plan today is to make it back to washington, d.c. if the storm is moving at about 40 miles per hour and we can do about 41, maybe we'll get there before the snow does, but it's going to be a slow go on i-81.

go 25 miles. it's already going to take about 40 minutes. it's going to be a rough ride today. hopefully most people just stay home. willie and savannah. >> i see that wetness on your face. i hope it's snow and not tears. going to be a tough one. >> it's a both. >> dylan, thanks a lot. let's focus on the storm's impact on the capital city. officials in washington are taking unprecedented precautions to prepare. nbc national correspondent miguel almaguer is there for us. miguel, what's it looking like? >> reporter: hey, willie, so far just cold but certainly expect to be in the bullseye. they are expecting upwards of two feet of snow here in the district of columbia. that number will climb in the outside areas, and they could get hammered. i want to show you what it looked like earlier this week. we got just a dusting, less than an inch of snow on wednesday, and it brought the region to its knees. there were long traffic delays and we expect bigger problems this afternoon when the first snow rolls in. governors in five different states and in more than 14

states of emergency. the federal government says they will should down today at noon. schools are also closed. transportation problems are going to be an issue. some 2,200 flights all across this region have already been cancelled. they are prepping for a major storm here. take a look at a it looked like inside grocery stars and hardware stores earlier yesterday. they have been scrambling to get their hands on anything they can. folks say they will hunker down and ride this storm out. weekend and everyone here trying to prepare as best as they can for a major storm anticipated to willie? >> taking it very seriously. thank you so much. >> let's turn to al. is it going to be as bad as advertised. >> we have the caveat if the storm moves in any direction that will affect what we show you, but right now 1,200 miles worth of winter weather advisories, from northern louisiana all the way to new england, and we have blizzard

from washington, baltimore, dover, philadelphia, new york city. so we've got a severe situation starting to develop. we also have severe weather down through the southeast. we've got to keep an eye on that because of severe thunderstorms and isolated tornadoes, so we'll watch that as well. now, as we go into our accumulations, here's what we're looking for, because we've already seen snow and ice in memphis. 2 to 5 inches of snow expected. nashville, tennessee. you'll see it at 4 to 8 inches. lexington, kentucky, look for 8 to 14 inches of snow, and as we get closer to the coast with winds and snow we are going to be looking at quite a bit. washington an baltimore right now. we're calling for anywhere from 18 to 26 inches of snow. it begins at 4:00 this afternoon and wind gusts at 50 miles per hour, snowfall two to four inches per hour. in philadelphia and central new jersey we're looking for the snow starting around 11:00 and

and snow of 12 to 18 inches. new york city, the surrounding area, long island. look for six to 12 inches. the snow starts early saturday morning. wind gusts of 55 miles per hour and look at this, we're talking about a significant ice storm from knoxville, tennessee, raleigh. charlotte is the bullseye. we could see almost an inch of ice, and the power outage possibilities from charlotte to washington, d.c. are very likely because of ice, winds and rain and snow, so this is going to be a really dangerous storm as the hours move through. >> the ice and the winds scare me. thank you, al. >> breaking overnight now. an american college student arrested and detained in north korea. nbc's chief global correspondent bill neely following this story for us. bill, what's the latest. >> reporter: gk good morning, willie. another american arrested by the north koreans accusing him of a hostile act though they don't

roommate, british student meredith kercher in 2007. she and her boyfriend from cleared last year, case closed. now in an interview from prison rudy guede says meredith invited him over and he was in the bathroom in the house he shared with knox when the doorbell rang. i heard the start of an argument, i had said. i clearly recognized amanda's voice. he's asked you're sure it was her voice. 101%, he says. but no mention of sollecito. inside guidi said he saw a man in a distinctive hat and the man said let's go. there's someone in the house. he says he found meredith bleeding but alive in her room and tried to help. she was trying to tell me something, he says.

write it in the wall in her bad her. meredith was fully closed and the door open when he ran but police found her body half naked, the bra shredded and the door locked. amanda snoks wouldn't comment on the interview. when she spoke to matt in 2013 she said the evidence pointed to him. >> there's no trace of me in the noom where my friend was murdered. there's traces all over the place of the man who actually did this. rudy gud idy was arrested. he said he ran because he was afraid and insists he's interviewed. his interview will not change anything legally for knox and sollecito and after they were cleared he asked the courts to take another look at his case. they are not likely, the case, is not likely to take it up and
