we are already feeling wind gusts of up to 35 miles per hour and just look at this water right now because this is the real concern. you're going to have high tide later this morning and then you're going to not have that water recede tiltonight. so there are flooding concerns all across the east coast. this morning, it's scenes like these in pennsylvania. >> there it is right there. >> reporter: and in new york that have millions on edge. that massive nor'easter sitting off the east coast overnight packing heavy rain, snow and damaging winds. some people needing assistance because of those slipperyns. powerful storm already leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. >> i will be very careful. >> reporter: the roof of this produce business in north carolina smashed through by tree branches. in tennessee, heavy flooding forcing residents to kayak through their own front yards and in ohio more than 50,000 customers already without power. the storm now taking aim at the northeast with the potential for major coastal flooding.

coast as well. airports there could be affected as well george. don't forget you have the ripple effect. everybody may feel this before the day is out, george. >> east and west. >> speaking of west targeting an area already hit hard by abc's kayna whitworth is in montecito, california where residents have evacuate. good morning >> robin, good morning. people here are on edge. we were actually just iss flash flood warning and that's going to be in effect for the next three hours. that is impacting some 30,000 people. 22,000 of them have been evacuated and where i'm standing right now is under a mandatory evacuation order and you can see they have sandbags lining the area and also road closures right here. authorities are saying at this point, robin, they any unnecessary risks. >> search and rescue teams are at the ready, aren't they? >> reporter: they sure are. they have extra equipment and extra crews on standby ready to go. the sheriff's office was out last night going door to door urging people to get out of

roads. 6 to 12 inches of snow in the inland areas could easily see more than that upwards of 20 in some spots. but the big story is certainly going to be the wind and the coastal flooding with this. could be damaging winds on both that's going to be the hallmarks to this system. we'll talk about that powerful california storm in just a few minutes. >> going to be a long day. rob, thank you. >> to the white house and where president trump held a late night meeting with the national rifle association. the group's top lobbyist tweeted that the president does not want gun just a day after the presidentipartisan lawmakers comprehensive new legislation. our chief white house correspondent jon karl has the latest. >> reporter: at this point it's anybody's guess where the president stands and school safety all part of a topsy-turvy couple of days where he rattled financial markets with an announcement that caught his own economic team by surprise. a day after shocking his closest allies by seeming to embraceew

gun measures, president trump revealed h meeting last night with the nra's top lobbyist tweeting it wa a good, great meeting in the oval office. the nra's chris cox who met with trump and vice president pence suggested the president may have once again changed his tone on gun control. potus and vpotus swore the second amendment, support strong due process and don't want gun control. just a day earlier the president met with lawmakers in the white house and called for action on multiple gun measures opposed by the nra. telling the group they shouldn't be afraid to take the nra on. >> some of you people are petrified of the nra. you can't be petrified. >> reporter: one thing he embraced taking guns away from people considered a threat even without a hearing. >> i like taking the guns early. take the gunsfirst, go through due possess second. >> reporter: that put the president at odds with the nra and his republican base. >> i still support him, but he and i are just going to have to disagree on this idea of due

process. >> reporter: the oval office meeting with the nra wasn't the president's only surprise thursday. tunned markets and his own economic advisers by imposing new tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. >> we're going to build our steel industry back and we're going to build our aluminum industry back. >> reporter: the move which sent markets tumbling deeply divided the president's economic team. the president's top economic adviser gary cohn had firmly opposed them costs for american manufacturing and could trigger a trade war. just an hour before the announcement, top white house aides were assuring people that the tariffs were not coming. i am told the president only decided to go forward as he was meeting with those steel executives that ultimately were by his side as he madeannouncement and, george look at this this another one sure to catch some of his when a country, usa, is losing many billions of dollars on trade with virtually every country it does business with trade wars areood and easy to

win. he goes on ending it is easy. trust me some of his top and most economists might take issue with on a mini tweet storm taking on alec baldwin but you saw that is it certain he will follow through with that and will gary cohn leave if he does? >> reporter: nothing is sure around here first of all, but i tell you that white house officials are telling me the president fully intends to go through with this announcement next week. as for gary cohn he fought tooth and nail to prevent it then he was caught by surprise when it happened. i've had several people at the white house question whether or not he can stay here or whether he will resign. >> okay jon karl thanks very much. michael. >> thank you, george. we bring in our chief business correspondent rebecca jarvis for more on the plunging stock market and good morning to you, rebecca. the dow closed down more than 400 after the president announced these new tariffs. >> first of all wall street does

not like to hear the word trade war so while this is helpful to u.s. steel and aluminum companies which have been lobbying for these tariffs and whose stocks surged on the announcement it means american manufacturers will have to pay more for those materials and could mean price hikes so think of any product that comes in a can, beer soda that uses aluminum and steel, cars building materials like wiring and beaming, all of those businesses see their costs go up and the question is if that's the case how much of that do they ultimately aspass along to consumers and what is the ripple effect? >> do not mess with the pepsi light. they could cost more because of this so what are these companies saying about this? in we've heard from a handful of companies. molson coors where unclear what it will specifically do to prices, they are saying that u.s. consumers would surely suffer. they're calling the move disappointing.

misguided and warning of job losses across the beer industry michael. >> thank you so much rebecca. >> we'll be watching today. the white house responding to that new show of force from russian president vladimir putin. he's flaunting nuclear weapons he calls invincible and simulated a strike on florida saying u.s. missile defenses will be useless. martha raddatz has the latest. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, george. the white house's response to putin's speech echoes cold war language saying that we will ensure our nuclear arsenal is unmatched but putin's presentation was unnerving, projected on screens anim nuclear powered cruise missile which he claimed could travel low and fast through any kind of terrain and employee past any kind of obstacle including our ballistic missile defense system and in that animation, that missile appeared to be heading for the western u.s. additional animation as you said had missiles raining down on florida. the missile has been tested but it is not in production but

u.s./russia relations are at a low point and the two sides are not having any meaningful talk george. >> we have not seen nuclear saber rattling like this since the cold war. thank you very much. >> thank you, george. now to the new fallout from the usa gymnastics abuse scandal. this morning, aly raisman announcing she's suing usa gymnastics and the u.s. olympic committee and abc's eva pilgrim is here with details. >> reporter: aly raisman refusing to wait any longer for these organizations to do what she says is a critical step to moving forward, a full investigation. she says she hopes byiling this lawsuit they will be held accountable to make changes to keep this from ever happening again. >> i'm no longer a victim. i'm a survivor. >> reporter: this morning olympic champion aly raisman suing the united states olympic committee and usa gymnastics. >> we still have to hold these organizations accountable. they enabled this monster, they took his side over us for so

long. >> reporter: raisman who brought home olympic gold for team usa in 2012 and 2016 -- >> it has been worth it. >> reporter: alleging that the organizations are partly to blame for enabling her abuser dr. larry nassar. her lawyers say the organizations put their quest for money and medals above the safety of minor competitive athletes, claiming they failed to adequately enforce policies which would prevent employees from engaging in sexually abusive misconduct. the lawsuit also alleging the organizations failed to report nassar's suspected history of sexual abuse to raisman and her parents. >> treatments with you were mandatory. you took advantage of that. lying on my stomach with you on my bed insisting that your inappropriate touch would help to heal my pain. >> reporter: the suit also showing in letter the former head of usa gymnastics sent to the usoc in describing the

"uss fitzgerald's" usoc's procedures as fundamentally flawed and showing apparent indifference to the welfare of young children. 20 years after that letter while facing her abuser at a sentencing, raisman shed no tears but weeks later admitting the truth. >> i know i looked strong in the moment but after i was a mess. it felt like it took me weeks to recover. >> reporter: we reached out to the usoc and usa gymnastics but have not heard back all this as the first male gymnast has come forward with allegations of sexual abuse from nassar. >> it's far from over. >> very much. thank you, eva. we turn to reverend billy graham. he will be laid to rest in charlotte, north carolina later this morning. president trump and vice president pence are expected to be among the guests in attendance. graham became just the fourth private citizen to lie in honor at the capitol washington earlier this week. the funeral is invitation only
