hnology together for you. good morning, america. breaking right now, blasting bermuda, the most powerful hurricane in the atlantic in years ripping across the island. >> that eye wall inching closer and closer to bermuda. >> our gio benitez hunkering down with tourists, trying stay safe. plus how the u.s. will be impacted by this massive storm. scare at sea. a passenger on a caribbean cruise ship who handled ebola specimens in texas is now under quarantine. two countries refusing to let the ship dock at their ports. and the new time line for the nurses with ebola. when did they get sick and who is at risk? struggle for a gun. this morning we are hearing from the officer whoa shot and killed unarmed teenager michael brown in ferguson, missouri.

what he is saying about the shooting that provoked outrage and violent protests. and date night disaster. president obama's credit card rejected at a swanky new york restaurant. >> fortunately michelle has hers. >> why the president's plastic wouldn't go through. hey, good morning. and we want to get straight to that massive hurricane that made a direct hit on bermuda overnight. >> it's the largest in the atlantic in some time. and rob marciano is tracking it and where it is and where it's headed. >> such a powerful storm. rocketing off to the north and east. now 190 miles away from bermuda. starting to calm things down just a little bit. but it's moving towards nova scotia. they have a tropical storm watch for later today. by the way, the u.s. will be impacted with some big swells and some rip tides as well.

here is the track. but it made a direct hit on bermuda. think about the size of this little island. 15 miles across. and the expanse of the atlantic ocean, the odds of it making a direct hit like it did, just astronomical. and there it is right there. and experiencing it is gio benitez on the ground in bermuda. no doubt it was a surreal but scary night last night. good morning to you. >> reporter: absolutely, rob. good morning to you. i know you know what that sounds like, roaring skies, howling wind. that's what we were hearing here. now nearly every home here is without power. overnight, gonzalo ravaging bermuda, making landfall with those monstrous winds. listen. [ wind howling ] and we're feeling some of the strongest gusts right now. the eye wall inching closer and closer to bermuda. then within minutes, the eerie silence of gonzalo's eye.

>> in the eye of gonzalo. freaking awesome. >> reporter: we're in the eye. in fact all you can hear are the tree frogs out there. the storm rages for hours, 110 miles per hour. taking out trees and power lines in its path. leaving more than 30,000 people without electricity. shaking people from their dreams into what seems like a nightmare. 1:00 a.m. in bermuda, right now it's just roaring outside. just behind this door, you can see they're trying to protect us here. we've all been ordered out of our hotel rooms and into the safe room. that's where i'm heading right now. this family, moving to bermuda from california, now seeking shelter in a hotel. >> you have your family and home and all your belongings here. you have to hunker down and wait it out. >> reporter: wait it out. all anyone on these little islands can do. and you've got to remember, this is now the second storm in just a week for the people of bermuda.

just last weekend they had tropical storm faye. that delivered quite a punch as a tropical storm. now this, paula. >> no rest for the weary. thank you so much. and now to the scary scene on board a caribbean cruise ship. a dallas health care worker who handled a lab specimen from the man who died of ebola is now in isolation on board the ship. that ship is heading back to texas after being refused permission to dock in two countries. tom llamas has the latest. good morning, tom. >> reporter: good morning. that lab tech worked here at dallas texas presbyterian. but she boarded that cruise ship before there was a directive for workers like her not to travel by plane, bus or boat. this morning, more than 3600 passengers on board the carnival magic sailing back to the u.s. after mexico an and belize officials turned down the ship

over fears of a dallas medical worker on board. the worker handled test tubes from thomas eric duncan. abc's denver station eric luffer on board the ship shot exclusive video of passengers making the most of their cruise. >> people are having fun on the boat. >> reporter: now voluntarily isolated along with a traveling partner. the ship's captain wrote a letter to passengers, saying, the cdc said at no point in time has this guest exhibited symptoms or signs of infection. and the passenger was low risk and cleared to travel. >> to have a ship stopped for someone who has virtually no risk of transmitting this disease. it's an overreaction. >> reporter: the cruise set sail from galveston, texas, on sunday, october 12th. and the cdc notified the ship that the health care worker is on board. thursday, as other passengers disembarked in belize, the prime minister refuses a request from secretary of state john kerry to

evacuate the quarantined medical worker. >> to do this thing in a way that could absolutely have eliminated any possibility of any risk to belize, i would have been willing. >> reporter: this all happening as new scares continue. an american airlines flight was held in charlotte for observation after a passenger was ill on board. and a sick woman on a tour bus outside the pentagon shut down parts of the military headquarters. both were false alarms. passengers on board the magic will get a $200 on board credit. they'll also get 50% off their next carnival cruise. liberian's president has called the dallas mayor and offered an apology for everything that's happened in the city because of the deadly disease. of course, thomas eric duncan was from liberia. dan. >> tom llamas, thank you. new information and new questions this morning about the two nurses being treated for ebola. both nina pham and amber vinson

have been moved to hospitals with state of the art isolation facilities. we are learning how sick amber vinson was when she boarded a plane recently. alex perez is on the story. >> reporter: the cdc now saying the second nurse to come down with ebola after treating thomas duncan may have been sick before her flight home from ohio last week when she first triggered a search for 132 of her fellow passengers. amber vinson was visiting her bridesmaids and planning her upcoming wedding october 10th through the 13th. on the flight, we first learned she felt sick, officially officially diagnosed with ebola on the 15th in dallas. but no reports vinson felt symptoms as early as sunday, october 12th, and rested for long periods of time in ohio. >> she said she felt funny, but nothing specific. we can't rule out that she wasn't ill for the time that she was here in ohio. >> reporter: now frontier airlines are working to get in

touch with all of the passengers who flew with vinson on her first flight out of dallas. we are hearing from a texas doctor who has treated all three ebola patients in the united states. speaking out to dallas abc station wfaa. >> were you scared? >> i don't think i would say i was scared. i was cautious. >> reporter: the doctor refuting criticism by some nurses that the staff was poorly trained and underequipped. >> i think we were just as ready as every other hospital in the country. >> reporter: the other nurse in isolation with the deadly ebola virus, nurse nina pham remains at the national institutes of health outside washington, d.c. after being transported late thursday from dallas. >> there's no crying. well, happy tears are okay. >> reporter: doctors say pham is very tired but resting comfortably in fair condition. still, separated from her 1-year-old king cavalier king charles spaniel, also in isolation in texas.

still with no signs of infection. playing fetch with workers. alex perez, abc news, chicago. >> thanks to alex perez. for more, bring in dr. anthony fauci. the director of the national institute of allergy and infectious diseases. good morning. can you give us an update on nina pham? she's under your care, but you're saying her condition has gone from good to fair. >> i think it's a misinterpretation. she was levelled as good when she was in texas. when we saw her, we immediately worked her up and made our assessment that her condition was fair. that doesn't mean it's gotten worse. because you have two different groups. so their good may be our fair. i can tell you she's stable, she's doing well. i had long conversations, her yesterday. she's feeling okay. she still has a serious disease. she's making progress. we are pleased with her progress. but her condition is fair and stable. and she's comfortable and resting.

but you have to remember, ebola really knocks you out. and that's the reason why we're watching her very closely and giving her the best possible care. >> right. there's so many mis-truths about ebola. it can incubate for 21 days. it is worth noting that thomas eric duncan's family is in day 20. none have contracted the disease. what does that say? >> i think it's important for the american public to realize that we have two cases of ebola that were contracted here in the united states. and both of them were in very brave and devoted nurses who were taking care of an extraordinarily ill person, mr. duncan. those are the only two ebola cases. that doesn't mean that other contacts might not get infected, but you have to look that mr. duncan's contacts, his family members, which he had close contact, have not gotten infected yet. still not completely out of the woods. but they have not. so it is contracted by direct contact with body fluid, blood,

vomit, diarrhea, just the way the nurses who put themselves in danger were at risk. >> right. >> it's risky for health care workers. >> thank you for setting the record straight. you have been up all night with some other patients. thank you for your time this morning. >> you're quite welcome. >> and i just want to emphasize such an important point you made about duncan's family not being sick thus far. speaks to how hard it is to contract the virus. >> it's not airborne. those calling for a flight ban, that's going to work. because it's only passed through bodily fluids back and forth. >> a great corrective to all the fear. >> and hysteria. >> in the country. much more coverage on ebola, of course, all day long on abcnews.com. and the breaking news this morning that may further inflame tensions in ferguson, missouri. we're hearing an account from officer darren wilson who fired

the shots that killed the unarmed teenager, michael brown. his version very different from what many of brown's supporters believe. after all the angry protests and the anguished testimony of the parents of michael brown, the unarmed teenager shot dead, we are now two months later hearing from the man who fired those shots, officer darren wilson. this morning the new york times reporting that officer wilson told federal investigators that he was pinned in his vehicle and in fear for his life as he struggled over his gun with mr. brown. officer wilson also told authorities that brown had punched and scratched him repeatedly, leaving swelling on his face and cuts on his neck. this first public account from officer wilson direct ly contradicts accounts from eyewitnesss who say brown was shot while trying to surrender with his hands up in the air. however, sources tell "the new york times" that the forensic evidence seems to support

officer wilson and does not support bringing charges against him. news that is likely to add to the simmering tensions on the ground in ferguson. okay. so let's bring in abc's chief justice correspondent, pierre thomas, who's in washington this morning. this new information, the direct account is interesting. it does not answer all the lingering questions about his actions on that day. >> good morning, dan. these details, if true, appear to support the previous claims from the police department that the officer was assaulted. and it's another reminder of just how complicated this investigation is. but a lot of questions unanswered. what started the confrontation? did the young man get out of the car and raise his hands and surrender as some witnesses have said? remember, the most critical question is, was this shooting justified and did the officer have to use lethal force? >> you have identified a bunch of important questions. and yet the new york times is making it seem like charges are unlikely. do you agree with that assessment and how is that

likely to be greeted on the ground in ferguson if there are no charges? >> well, from my sources, we don't know enough to say one way or another. there's so many facts into the decision by the justice department and the state prosecutor. for example, looking at the officer's background in previous dealings with minorities. one of the issues they're trying to resolve is does race have anything to do with how the officer responded? there's a high bar for civil rights cases, but as you can see, there are multiple facets to the case that have to be laid out and tough decisions have to be made. the difficulty here is emotions are running high in that community, and many african-americans believe the officer should be prosecuted. it's still a volatile situation, dan. >> volatile situation, tough decision indeed. thomas, thank you for your reporting this morning. and ron claiborne, every now and then, we let him take a couple of days off. he's not here today. but we are thrilled to have matt gutman tracking the other storts

we a stories we are tracking. >> thanks, good to be in warming ron's seat for a day. >> or two. >> or two. we begin overseas with the stepped up u.s.-led air strikes on isis fighters in the key syrian border town of kobani. pentagon officials confirm the u.s. dramatically upped the air campaign, 59 air strikes in the last four days. one american commander say that isis fighters are streaming into the besieged city, making kobani the main focus of their attacks. they have not confirmed that chilling report that isis fighters have seized and are flying syrian fighter jets. and breaking overnight, the supreme court will allow texas to uses it controversial new voter i.d. law for the november election. the high court rejected a request from the justice department and civil rights groups from requiring the state requiring photo i.d.s to cast ballots. early voting begins monday. and terrifying moments inside this wisconsin hotel. a car crashing right through the building. yep. two people in the room at the

time. miraculously they were unhurt. and police say somehow neither was the driver. checked in. new calls this morning for dartmouth college officials to abolish all fraternities and sororities at the school. the student paper posted an article calling on the school's board of trustees to abolish all fraternities on the campus. they have been in the spotlight for fraternity hazing and a federal probe into the campus sexual misconduct. and look at this video. terrifying video. dust devil kicked up in brazil. whipping wind swooped down on a school fair, picking up that inflatable slide, a 9-year-old boy inside. the mini twister tossed the slide several hundred feet. landing right in front of a group of dozens of parents and kids. terrifying.

that child suffered some minor injuries. >> only minor. >> we have seen that in a couple of times. >> don't put your kids in those things. >> try telling your children that. it doesn't go over very well. they accept the risk. >> they need to watch the video. finally, halloween mischief gets an early start in laredo, texas. check out this video. a guy walking there, in his own lawn, you'd thing, doing maintenance on that huge inflatable cat. that's for you, dan. that's a thief. so brazen he even takes time to deflate the halloween decoration before casually strolling off for it. now police released this video in the hopes that someone will identify the grinch who tried to steal halloween. >> the burning question is why would anybody want a large inflatable cat? >> he's a cat burglar. >> a cat burglar? >> anyone? >> no. >> no, sorry. >> i'll give that to you. >> you will? >> yeah, i will. >> if paula likes your joke,

that's not a good joke. >> no, but i don't like any of dan's jokes. >> good point. exactly. >> i don't know if that makes me feel better. >> you stepped into a complicated situation. >> very complicated. great to have you. i laugh at 40% of your jokes. >> 40%, maybe. have you had a hassle with your credit card that turned into a really embarrassing moment? maybe it was rejected and you didn't know why? >> apparently president obama can relate. the president had a problem paying with plastic and sara is here to tell us what happened. good morning to you. >> good morning, dan. we've all been there. presidents, they're just like us. going out on the town with a lady friend, the first lady in this case, a night of dinner and drinks, and the check comes. rejected. while signing an executive order to beef up security for government credit cards, president obama admitting a server at a ritzy new york restaurant had to break some very bad news. sorry, mr. president, your credit card was declined. >> i really think that i have been paying my bill.

>> the real reason -- >> turns out i don't use it enough. they thought there was some fraud going on. >> reporter: the president, out of luck. the first lady, saving the day. >> fortunately michelle had hers. >> reporter: the obamas chose estela for their dinner date. what did they order from the mouth-watering menu? according to the kitchen order, the endive, walnut and anchovy salad and the burrata and salsa verde with charred bread. mmmm. but it's not the first time the president's had check troubles while eating out. running a deficit when he picked up the tab for texas barbecue back in july. >> are you all right? >> i'm good. >> reporter: even vice president joe biden was a little light. >> $56.25. >> reporter: during this november surprise stop at a sandwich shop. >> you have ten bucks? i have 50. >> reporter: as port -- for the

possibility of any future money mixups -- >> i'm not speaking to the current status of the presidential credit card. >> i find it funny wear focused on the president and how embarrassed he might have been. imagine the waitress and saying i'm sorry, sir. didn't go over so well. >> i hope he left her a tip. >> the big debate on the set is how do you pronounce endive? is it endive? endive? >> isn't it endive? and i was like -- >> rob marciano, do you know how to pronounce -- is it endive? >> endive. >> endive. i have no idea. >> there you go. tomato, tomato. good morning, guys. hey, want to talk about a hurricane ana. we spent a lot of time on gonzalo. this is no small potatoes either. 250 miles south of honolulu. and it's a hurricane, and will remain over the next couple of days. the good news is that the track will keep it south of the hawaiian islands. but close enough to where a tropical storm watch is, gusty winds, heavier rains, up to 10 or 12 inches.
