And get this, since tuesday, there have been at least 34 confirmed tornadoes. Weve got it all covered, including the impact on travel. Lets start with nbcs Miguel Almaguer. Miguel, good morning to you. Reporter hey, matt, good morning. As you mentioned, this storm took at least eight lives. Three were killed in this region alone. The storm whipped right through this community, shredding it to pieces, taking off roofs, destroying walls and toppling trees. It was a powerful and deadly another night of severe weather. In pennsylvania, some 50 homes damaged. Dangerous winds in new york city. While in long island, firefighters rushed to distinguish cars on fire and clear downed trees in neighborhoods. In washington, d. C. , hammering hail. But it was the smallest towns hit with the biggest damage. Overnight rescues in virginia. Some communities wiped off the map as homes were destroyed, tornadoes dropping from an ominous sky. It took my truck up in the air, and the glass was coming in, and i thought the truck was going to turn over on me. Reporter frank rose witnessed the deadly twister blow through waverly, virginia. I saw the roofs flying everywhere everywhere, and you know, what can you do, you know . Youre caught up in it. Reporter the wild weather claiming the lives of two men and a toddler, tossed from a trailer 300 yards, adding to the storms death toll. Another man killed in south snapped a tree on to him. The guy, he was laying down, and the tree was on top of him, and he was hurt. He was hurt. Reporter the powerful storm system battered the gulf coast. Among the hardest hit, a trailer park in convent, louisiana, where a tornado killed two and shredded 150 homes. It looked like a blender. There was stuff lying around. Reporter some parts of florida also reduced to rubble. More than 200,000 lost power. This morning, while the storm is diminishing, the scope of the damage is just being realized. Later today, virginias governor will visit some of the hardest hit communities like this one. While that storm system passed over in just a matter of hours in places like this one, it will certainly take months to rebuild. Matt and savannah . All right, Miguel Almaguer in oxford, north carolina, this morning. Miguel, thank you. You might effect the of this weather as well. Blake is at ohare in chicago. Good morning. Reporter good morning, savannah. Airlines trying to hit the reset button this morning after more than 2,000 flights were canceled nationwide yesterday. The Worst Airport in the country for those cancellations right here at chicagos ohare. Winters wallop dumping even more snow overnight, more than a foot in some parts of northwest indiana stretching into the chicago suburbs. Blizzardlike conditions cracking warnings from emergency officials. It is terrible. Its going to get worse. Stay home. The roads are ice underneath the snow. Reporter hundreds of accidents snarled traffic across the region. Thankfully, no children aboard this school bus in lynwood, illinois, when it was sent sliding. Chicagos two major airports became ground zero for 1,300 Flights Canceled wednesday we actually changed our flight. We were supposed to leave at 1 30 today. And then united contacted us and tried to move it up so we could get out. Reporter cancellations stretching across the country, including syracuse, new york, where one airline bought pizza for this flight from atlanta that had to be diverted because of the storm. Were already seeing more than 300 Flights Canceled here this morning, even though the worst of the weather has moved out. There are a lot of planes and crews out of position, and its going to take some time to get things back to normal. Matt, savannah . Got to work itself out of the system. Blake, thank you. Lets turn to mr. Roker for more on all this. Thats right, and a really interesting situation developing off the north rockaway coast here in new york. Theyre actually airlifting people who got stuck on a boat. Carolina queen 3, a fishing boat. This is just moments ago, far rockaway, new york. The coast guard sent out a Coast Guard Boat to try to rescue them. The Coast Guard Boat capsized. Luckily, all five members of the coast guard who were on that boat are okay. But as you can see, right now the coast guard chopper rescuing people off that fishing vessel. But that gives you an idea how bad this storm was. And how dangerous the work of the coast guard is. Exactly. And they do that every day. But really amazing stuff. The good news is the worst of the storm is over as far as the heavy winds and rains. Were still going to be dealing with that, but you can see it is now the heavy rain pushing off. What were concerned with now is whats behind it, colder air filtering in, and you can see so, what were going to be looking at, we wont call it technically a blizzard, but we will have wind gusts of up to 40 miles per hour, Poor Visibility down i75, i80, parts of i90. Traveling. Snowfall amounts not going to be the worst, but the winds will that will give better visibility. Behind the front temperatures are much milder, but look at some of these accumulations were looking at. Cleveland about two to five, bloomfield, west virginia, 3 to 6, elkins, west virginia, 4 to 8 inches of snow. So, the good news is weve got warmer weather coming, milder weather, but folks are still going to be digging out and dealing with the mess thats been left behind by these more than 34 tornadoes that touched down. All right, bud. Thank you very much. All right, al, thank you. Now to the president ial race and a notable shift from republican marco rubio. The florida senator going directly after donald trump, and so is the last republican nominee, mitt romney. Weve got it all covered this morning, beginning with nbc National Correspondent peter alexander. Hes in houston where tonights final Republican Debate before super tuesday will be held. Peter, good morning. Reporter hey, savannah, good morning. This is the tenth republican president ial debate tonight, the lonestar state showdown, first without jeb bush on the debate stage, and perhaps most importantly for Donald Trumps cruz, their last stand before super tuesday. Anyone not named donald trump now looking for a little Southern Comfort i can win. I can unify this party. I can grow this party. And i will win this election. The question right now is how do we prevent nominating a candidate who loses the general election, or for that matter, if donald wins the general election, who the heck knows what hed do as president . Reporter for ted cruz, everythings bigger in texas, including the pressure to hold court in his home state. The crown jewel of super tuesday is the great state of texas. Reporter new polls show the freshman senator commanding a 15point lead, but will it hold . Trump taunting his rival on twitter. When ted cruz quits the race, ill get most of his votes. No problem. The rubio campaigns calling on trump to repudiate reported protrump robocalls from the leader of a White Nationalist group the white race is dying out in america and europe because we are afraid to be called racist. Dont vote for a cuban. Vote for donald trump. Reporter trump responded to nothing in this country shocks me. I would disavow it, but nothing in this country shocks me. Reporter the billionaires already hinting at a running mate to balance out his outsider status. Were going to probably choose somebody thats somewhat political. Reporter and now rejoining the political fray, the 2012 nominee mitt romney. Frankly, i think we have good reason to believe that theres a bombshell in Donald Trumps taxes. Reporter four years after he was pressed to release his returns, romneys challenging the 2016 frontrunner to do the same. Either hes not anywhere near as wealthy as he says he is, or he hasnt been paying the kind of taxes we would expect him to pay. Reporter its an issue trump first addressed on today the morning after winning the New Hampshire primary. Will people be surprised at the rate that you pay . Lower or higher than expected . Nobody will be surprised. Taxes. I hate the way the government spends my money. Reporter late wednesday, trump fired back at romney, calling him a fool whos now playing tough guy. Cnn quoted trump saying theres no bombshell at all, other than government wastes the money. Other polls here in texas show the race even closer than 15 points. An interesting dynamic tonight, former president George Herbert walker bush, 91 years old, and his wife, barbara bush, theyre expected in attendance, their first time crossing paths with donald trump since his attacks against their sons jeb and the former president , george w. Bush. Matt and savannah . All right, peter alexander, thank you. Chuck todd is nbcs political director and moderator of meet the press. Nicolle wallace is an nbc news political analyst. Guys, good morning. Did i miss anything . All right, last gop debate tonight before super tuesday. Five people on the stage. Anyone whose name is not donald trump had better do something tonight to try to slow him down going into tuesday. Realistically realistically, what are their options . Listen, winning the nomination is like climbing to the top of everest. Donald trump is halfway there with half of the pack and a lot less oxen. Its possible, but extremely difficult. What do you expect, chuck . Rubio and cruz and kasich, they have to make their move. What i expect and what they should do are two different things. I think the rubio plan is to stay the course, go after cruz, play this one more long game, hope cruz is eliminated after super tuesday and hope next wednesday morning he gets to wake up, come on the today show as hes done after these nights, and say, hey, i finished second in the delegates, now its a twoman race, and hope somehow by march 15th he can overtake him. Theres a lot of ifs there. Way too many ifs. Looks good o real support, he has to show he is tough enough to take on trump. Does trump absorb the punches, land a few good one liners or use this opportunity to take the turn and try to become more president ial than they are . Ahead what he might do is start to make the turn to look more president ial. The real vulnerability he has even among supporters is his temperament. His supporters said i like you are different. I am worried about your impulse control challenges. Every time he has had an opportunity to display a better temperament he passed on it. I would expect him to act more president ial but i dont think we can expect that from him. That is not the way he rolls. That is not what his voters like. I think he goes lets talk about cruz. He went through marco rubios set of circumstances that would allow him to emerge. If cruz loses texas what do the polls show now . It shows cruz ahead. Pick your poll. He has to work hard. Strategy on super tuesday. Put your historian hat on for me. Every poll i look at doesnt show marco rubio having a shot of winning any state on super tuesday. Has anyone secured the nomination going 0 for primaries . They have an answer for that. What they say is that everything about this cycle is historic in nature and that Washington Post stunning editorial about stopping trump. They feel urgency to stop trump and that would create historic rush towards them in the final days and weeks. This issue of taxes. Mitt romney thinking there is a bombshell there. Pay high taxes. Does it matter for trump . I dont think it matters. The only thing that matters to trump would be what romney brought up if his net worth is not what it was. Mitt romney is doing to donald trump by just sort of openly speculating what harry reid did to mitt romney four years ago when he said i heard he is not paying taxes. Mitt romney, this is his way of participating in the stop trump movement. Trump is running against a rigged system. This is the real feature of the campaign, i heard this. Thanks for bringing me up to speed. I appreciate it. Big new developments in ongoing fight over the u. S. Supreme court.

On your very best day at work, the day you can home and think you have the best job in the world what did you do that day . I like that question because i guess the idea is it shows what you love to do. I went to australia. I got to go to australia with my mom and visit my birth place and they got the fireworks out. That was awesome. Traveling and getting family history. Free trip to australia. Dylan, what about you . My brother is a veteran, wounded warrior.

On a recent flight the Company Round trip flight to anywhere in the world but there was a catch. It could only be one destination and all 150 passengers on the plane had to agree on the same destination. If there wasnt a unanimous decision they didnt get the trip. Using paddles the passengers narrowed down their options choosing an International Location over a domestic one. After wheeling and dealing it came down to two options, turks and caicos or costa rica. Must mean only one thing, 150 random strangers have chosen unanimously to go to costa rica thats not easy. I would take either of those. They get a free round trip. Can you imagine trying to get 150 people to choose lunch. Apparently the airline said they conducted the experiment because of the division in washington. Reminded me of a caucus. Even more space and top movie quotes of all times.

Young people breaking barriers and changing the world. Time for looking back moving forward in honor of black History Month. Young africanamericans making history. The age of 28 who are breaking barriers in everything from politics to entertainment. We are happy to highlight some of them. Black History Month is about looking back at who paved the forward. Nbc blk 28 was created to honor innovators, entrepreneurs, actors, activists at the top of their field redefining what it means to be black in america today. The young people arent just changing the black community, they are changing communities all over this country. Kai lightner is a pro rock climber, three time american winner and a World Championship title to his game. It is almost ingrained with them. My whole life. I started climbing when i was 6. Pushing myself was contagious for me. Once i was able i always wanted competition and be the best climber that i can be. I climb about three hours a day. Im thinking about the next solution or what am i going to do next . The type of climbing that i do is based upon difficulty and not height. I will keep going and keep climbing. Creating this field of design together. I make a lot of my own clothes. So with that i dont we work to help them innovate. Google had a program for me to make animations and they wanted the dress. That dress itself, they chose the silhouette and then from there it was kind of organizing the electronic inside of the garment. So exciting and she looked beautiful in it. Nate howard founded movement be to amplify young voices of this generation. Young adults and youth. The goal is using poetry to inspire a generation to be the best they can be to hone the story and let the stories inspire others.

I realized that i had to hold on to what this movement could be. There is something about poetry that allows you to kind of speak to your heart. At the end of the day when everyone writes their story the is the best story because it is yours. Just a foot note we should mention no one was charged you want to learn more about the nbc blk 28 honorees head to today. Com. Coming up next, dont do it yourself. The Home Projects we have tackled that can actually hurt are you killing your home with kindness, from excessive cleaning to constant repainting you may be doing more harm than good. Here to keep you from becoming a home wrecker in a different way. We are not going to shake hands because we are both recovering. How are you doing . Fine and you . Fine. Fewer chores at home. Lets start with paint. If i see a door like that im a new coat of paint isnt always your friend. Paint wants to stay flexible. Going over this paint with a new paint is a problem. Is it okay if you take the paint down to the wood and start from scratch . Scrape it, sand and then repaint. Touchups arent necessarily good. Starting from scratch is probably better. Just dont go over the bad stuff. Get a clean surface and do a few job. Lets talk about insulation. If you own an old home probably built without proper insulation by todays standards. If you are feeling cold you want more insulation in the house. Here is the problem. Come to my dollhouse. I didnt know you have a dollhouse. Some houses are designed to right here is the soffit. It allows in fresh air and that is a good thing. But the insulation would go right here in the attic. If you go too far up you can choke down that attic and that can lead to mold and can exacerbate ice dams. We do, however, want to seal air leaks. And they are all over the house. This is just as important as insulating. There are pipes and wires coming through walls and floors and ceilings. That is where conditioned air can come up through and into spaces where you dont need it. Here is a can of sealer. We spray it in there. Did you fill up the holes, you can seal the penetration and leave that behind. Much more efficiency. Cleaning windows and mirrors. How is it possible to clean a mirror too much . A mirror has behind it it has a reflective surface. That cleaner that you put on there could have ammonia or vinegar which could be aggressive. If it gets behind the frame it can attack the silver backing. If you are going to use that i say spray the rag and then clean as opposed to spraying it on the glass and having it go behind or you can just use a lent free cloth with warm water and do your cleaning that way. What about people who say they use newspapers . God bless. Does it work . Yes. There is not that much dirt. Professional guys use newspapers all the time. Take me to the tiles here. People get obsessive about the tiles. Clean and they will treat them so they seal them and nothing can get on them. Seal them like crazy. Too much sealing is a problem. It can make the granite or the marble look dull and streaky. Over sealing is a problem. You want to find out if the stone needs to be sealed. We put water on this marble. The water has absorbed into the marble. That means this needs to be sealed. Over here this granite doesnt need to be sealed because there is no difference between where the water is or isnt. We say seal it. As a rule of thumb how often would you end up sealing tile or stone like this in. Three months or a year but we suggest drop the water on there and see if it soaks in. If it doesnt you are good to go. Thank you. Well be right back. 8 53. Time for todays birthday wishes. We have very accomplished folks to celebrate. Lets start with Francis Jasper from san antonio, texas. She is turning 100 years old, enjoys playing the piano and exercising.
