Family of survivors saying he targeted christian students. Samantha is down. Before officers kill him in a dramatic shootout. I have never been more terrified for my life ever. An angry president obama demands action. Somehow this has become routine. We collectively are answerable to those families who lose their loved ones because of our inaction. This morning full Team Coverage, all the latest on the shooter, the victims and a Community Left reeling. And good morning, america. We have two major stories this friday, the east coast on alert from florida to maine. As youre looking live at states have declared states of emergency. Theyre worried about floods from this storm stuck over the carolinas right now and the impact of Hurricane Joaquin as it moves north in the atlantic. We, of course, also on the ground of that deadly shooting on a College Campus in oregon. At least ten people dead, seven others wounded. Amy is standing by on the scene. Well get to her in a moment but well get to the other major story, ginger starts us off, two storms right now, ginger, causing lots of problems. Yes, two storms in two different places. If in the mainland usa it is now joaquin. It is this low pressure system already causing rain, wind and coastal flooding. Its going to be around for the weekend. This deal did imminent, joaquin, on the other hand still stuck in the central bahamas and so its going to stay there for another 12 hour, its been there for 24. Some of the winds 2k3wu69ing well above 100 Miles Per Hour. The only pictures weve gotten out of this island so far because a lot of communication there but heres the great news i have for you. The track now trending far east, away from land meaning no u. S. Landfall. This has been the trend with some of the other computer models that we like to look at and if it comes to fruition all it would mean is rougher surf. Remember we have that one storm imminent happening this weekend, very heavy rain South Carolina, north carolina, coastal flooding all the way up to coastal new england. Two storms, well have much more coming up on the imminent one this weekend. Our rob marciano is in Virginia Beach and hell have the latest. Yep. Thats right. Going to cover it all for us coming up all right, thank you. Turn to those kills at umpqua Community College in roseburg. Roseburg like newton, columbine, another american town shattered by a mass shooting. Amy is there. Good morning, amy. Reporter good morning, george. This is a sleepy Remote Community about three hours south of portland, oregon, and it is simply devastated this morning. Me the road is closed. This is Umpqua College road, it is the only road leading in and out of campus and you see the police tape lining the streets. Remnants of a day of terror and this morning there are more questions than answers as to why a 26yearold man terrorized this campus here. At 10 38, the first emergency calls start flooding in. Somebody is outside one of the doors shooting through the door. Reporter the 26yearold gunman chris mercer enters a classroom in snyder hall and orders the students to get on the ground and stand up one by one asking each their religion. Are you a christian, he would ask them and if youre a christian, stand up and they would stand up and he said, good, because youre a christian, youre going to see god in just about one second and then he shot and killed them. Reporter as police raced to the scene blocking the only road in and out of the school. Dispatch as many ambulances as possible. Reporter the other students at this campus of 4,000 flee their classrooms fleeing for places to hide. We thought it was a desk or somebody thought it was a firecracker. It sounded like a fight was breaking out. It was intense. You dont think of it as a possibility. Reporter at 10 44, eight minutes since the first reports of a shooting officers confront the gunman. We do know that we have at least two heroic officers who responded into the building within minutes and exchanged gunfire with the suspect. Reporter at the scene they find four weapons including one Assault Rifle. The gunman killed, unclear if by his own hand or police. Tactical teams and bomb squads have cleared all the buildings on the campus. Evidence teams from the fbi and from the Oregon State Police are working to process the crime scene. Reporter overnight, many in the tightknit Community Gathering for Prayer Services and candlelight vigils in honor of the victims and for those and we expect victim identifications later today as this Community Still tries to get a handle on what happened. As one faculty member put it, this is not going to be our defining moment. We will not be terrified. Rockin. Good for them, all right, amy, thank you. Well get back to you in a few mens. Moments ago we spoke to cassandra welding, a student in the classroom next door to the shooter and talked to her mother lisa who was on the phone with her during during the rampage and began asking cassandra what she saw and heard. At around 10 30 i heard a really loud kap ochlt ow noise like a moon popping. We all jumped. We didnt know what it was. We knew something wasnt right and so a classmate of mine went to go open the door to see what was happening next door to where opened the door and unfortunately she got shot twice and fell down and collapsed and we huddled in the right corner of the classroom and were all calling 911 and, you know, its a busy line and i just called it repeatedly trying to get a hold of 911. Hurry up and get here because we classroom. What was the condition of your classmate that was shot . I though that she was shot in the left arm and she was also shot down in the lower abdomen area by her rib cage. And you all were just trying to help her as best you could, i would imagine. Her friend that was sitting right next to her during the class ran over to her and was doing cpr trying to resuscitate her. You said that you attempted to call 911, you got through then you called your mother. Lisa, when you got the call from your daughter, what the emotions you must have felt and what did you tell her to do . Well, first i couldnt understand her because she was crying hysterically and i finally then realized i heard shooting and i said, okay, wait a minute. Somebody is next to you shooting and she said, yes, in the room and i said, first thing, i said make sure all the doors are secured and make sure you start barricading. If theres anything there, i dont care how make sure you guys are safe to keep somebody out. But its not a call that you ever want to get from your child. Lisa, how did you know like you said its a call no parent wants to receive. You stayed so calm and gave her such great instructions. Where did that come from . How did you know to do that . I have no idea. I guess its called being a parent because at that point, everything i thought of was being safe and everybody there, so my first instinct was i knew i had to be the calm person here and the adult, so i was trying to calm her down and in the meantime, just saying, you know, all i knew was barricade. Is that what you did, cassandra . We tried to as much as we could. We were all just terrified to even get up at this point because we were heard continuously gunshots. I heard maybe about 35 to 45 rounds that were shot. Did you ever see the shooter . I did not see the shooter but i witnessed my classmate getting shot. And what were your other classmates doing at that time in the room . You know, a lot of tears were shed. I heard i love you i love yous on the phone. Crying, gasping for air, just a lot of that was heard. And how comforting, cassandra, was your mother on the phone with you . Oh, it was amazing. I knew that either this was going to be my last time talking to her or i was going to see her again and at this point i was just praying i would see her again and my dad. Lisa, what advice do you have for parents who may be watching and they know that this is a scene thats being played out unfortunately . What advice do you have for them if they should get a call from their child like you did . The best advice is, you know, just try to be calm and use your head and use your instincts. Thats what you did. Lisa and cassandra, thank you thank. We are thinking of you and others in your community. All the best going forward. Thank you. Thank you. Take care. Really got me when she said its called being a parent . So clear in that moment of crisis. That was really something. As we mentioned seven people wounded in the shooting. Three of them in Critical Condition fighting for their lives. We are learning more about the victims and the shooter this morning and abcs Neal Karlinsky is at the hospital in roseburg. Good morning, neal. Reporter george, good morning. This is a Small Community and the sheer scope of this shooting initially overwhelmed them. Seven people fighting for their lives this morning, among them heroes including one very brave army veteran. This morning, 30yearold chris mintz out of surgery recovering from seven gunshot wounds, witnesses say the student and army vet charged straight at the gunman trying to save who he could telling others to run. He ran to the library and pulled all the alarms and he was telling people to run, grabbing people telling them, you just have to go and he actually ran back towards the building where the shooting was and he ran back into the building and i dont know what happened to him. Reporter seven people this morning still in the hospital. Three in Critical Condition. Overnight police and fbi swarming this apartment complex in winchester, oregon, where the man allegedly behind the carnage, 26yearold Chris Harper Mercer lived with his mom. Dogs at the scene examining every inch. An officer pictured questioning mercers mother outside. They thought he was an odd guy. Reporter abc news learning he was allegedly armed with three pistols and an assaultstyle rifle and that he left behind writings. An official describing them to abc news as rambling utterances with overtones of racial and social hatred. Neighbors in torrance, california, where mercer lived before moving to oregon saying they had seen him with guns in it. I did see him at the time walking or leaving his apartment and coming home with what looked like gun cases. Him and his mom both and he actually did say that he used to go shooting at some range. I dont know where it was. Reporter mercers father this morning saying he and his family are reeling. Obviously its been a devastating day, devastating for shocked. Shocked is all i can say. Reporter no known motive this morning. Officials tell us there is no known connection to International Terrorism but they continue to pore over the suspects background. The friend of one of them told me he was actually shot in the hand drying to escape and is alive, george. Ill bet. Okay, neal, thanks very much. This was the 15th time president obama has been called to speak out after a mass shooting and when he took the podium late yesterday he condemned the ritual. His voice etched with anger. Somehow this has become routine. The reporting is routine. My response here at this podium ends up being routine. The conversation in the aftermath of it, weve become number numb to this. Jon karl at the white house. Jesse palmer, the tenth fatal School Shooting this year alone and the president being very clear he is now politicizing this issue. Reporter george, he was explicit on that point. I have been in the White House Briefing room with him for several of those statements i have never heard him angrier or more political as he blamed gun violence in america on congress inability or un unwillingness to pass more gun control laws. He said that thoughts and prayers for the victims are not enough. Somebody somewhere will comment and say, obama politicized this issue. Well, this is something we should politicize. It is relevant to our common politic. Reporter and no comment from the nra. They said their policy is to gather the facts before making a statement on Something Like this. Jon karl, thanks very much. All right there, george. Back to amy and our team in oregon throughout the morning but now were going to turn to the other big story this morning, the potentially lifethreatening weather. The east coast bracing for major flooding. Youre looking at live radar of that storm, five states declaring a state of emergency and abcs rob marciano is in one of them in Virginia Beach. Good morning, rob. Robin. You know, this area over the past couple of weeks has been getting hit with a lot of this, seemingly endless wind and this surf that has just been pounding this shoreline, plus the inland flooding and we got joaquin just out there and this new coastal storm developing. Theyve got more of it coming. This morning, parts of the east coast reeling from over a foot of rain and bracing for an additional foot this weekend. The potential for dangerous flooding across much of the eastern seaboard threatening 50 million americans wreaking havoc in South Carolina, trees down and this road collapsed because of flooding. One man rescued from the massive opening. This storm front fatal already possibly to blame for at least two deaths in the carolinas. All of this as joaquin makes its way up the atlantic. We are dealing with two situations, a major, major severe event of rainfall. At the same time, having to deal with this potential hurricane. Reporter five states already declaring state of emergencies. Now is the time for you to begin to prepare for hunkering down and dealing with the storm. Reporter crews working along the shore building barriers on the new jersey coast and laying sandbags in north carolina. A hurricane does not have to go directly over your town, doesnt even have to make landfall to have an impact on you especially if youre along the coast. Reporter scientists taking to the skies to track joaquin. Air force Hurricane Hunters collecting data for the National Hurricane center flying directly into the storm calling us as they were gathering that vital information. Each time we go through the storm were passing through the eye wall, the center of the storm, outside the window it kind of looks like shattered glass. This storm has been intensifying. Reporter and this coastal storm at this hour is intensifying going to tap some of that tropical moisture from joaquin so we have inland flood watches. We have weigh got coastal flood warnings not to mention this relentless wind. To say the least, robin, no one in this area of the delmarva, czar beach will rest easy until both of these are well out to sea. I can imagine that being the case. Hurricane joaquin may miss us but hitting the caribbean hard battering the bahamas with extreme wind and rain and linzie janis on the scene in nassau. Good morning. Reporter Hurricane Joaquin has been battering the central and eastern bahamas for the last 24 hours and it looks like itll be at least another 12 before there is any letup. The small thinly populated islands getting lashed with 130mileperhour winds, 30foot waves and 2 feet of water in ared frommed. There are widespread power down. People here in nassau say they are worried sick about their george and robin. Thank you. Military plane crash. Six American Service members have been killed in the crash of a c130 cargo plane in afghanistan. The taliban claiming responsibility. Abcs chief Global Affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz in washington with the details. Good morning, martha. George. This happened just after midnight at the jalalabad pakistan. On board the big turboprop aircraft not only the sixperson crew but five contractors supporting the u. S. Military who were also killed. The military says the c130 went down just after takeoff and that all of the wreckage is contained on the airfield and even though the taliban claims to have shot the aircraft down, the military says there is no indication that it went down because of hostile fire. But theyre obviously trying to figure out what did happen, george and robin. Thanks very much. Incredibly busy friday morning and we have much more ahead. The latest on the tragedy in oregon.

We are on two big stories this morning, that deadly campus shooting in oregon where a shooter went on a deadly rampage killing at least ten people. And injuring several others. Were also following that big storm impacting everyone up and down the east coast. Thats a live look at the radar. Five states under a state of emergency on alert for potentially lifethreatening floods and ginger has been talking about it and rob marciano is there in Virginia Beach for us. Good morning, rob. Reporter good morning again, robin. Things have really picked up the past couple of hours. This surf behind me, the seafoam coming on shore going on and off the past couple of weeks and sand. This state among five that have a state of emergency because weve got more wind and rain coming, potential flooding too and this is all really for the most part independent of joaquin which as you know is a major storm down in the bahamas. Here is the latest track. The east coast breathing a little sigh of relief that the track now is forecasted to keep it offshore and out to sea but nobody here is going to rest easy until both of these storms are through and that will take at least through the weekend. Weve already seen a foot of rain in some spots in the carolinas, robin and could get a foot more and that could cause catastrophic flooding so the next 48 hours here especially will be critical. Yeah, and ginger has been talking about it too. These are two separate systems were talking about. Two separate systems. If it is raining for you that is not joaquin. Joaquin is in the bahamas and should with the latest trend stay out to sea. All right. You can see the wind pick up on rob in just the last half hour. Back to amy in oregon on the scene that have deadly campus shooting. At least ten people dead others fighting for their lives. Good morning, amy. Reporter thats right, george. It is an eerie scene right college. The road is closed, the only one that leads in and out and police tape behind me and remains throughout the weekend into monday but the big mystery here happened . Why did that 26yearold chris mercer walk in with four gun, one an Assault Rifle and ask students to stand, according to the father of one of the victims, he asked each person as they stood up, are you christian . And then told them, good, youll be meeting your god soon so a lot of questions as to the motive as to why he felt so motivated to terrorize this small Quiet Community just about three hours south of portland. A few molts ago we spoke to the governor of oregon. Governor kate brown to ask her about the Campus Response to those fired shots. The umpqua Community College had an incredible plan in place. I believe they did Everything Possible to be prepared, but the reality is in circumstances like these it is very difficult to deal with. Reporter there are reports of two heroic officers, specifically, and within eight minutes of the first reported shots, those officers were able to neutralize mercer, pretty incredible, unclear, though, whether or not they took him down or he killed himself. A lot of questions still here in this community and many people looking for answers as they continue to grieve and pray for those who are still fighting for their lives here in oregon. Robin, back to you. We are thinking of those that are still fighting for their lives. Youre right about that, amy, thank you. We turn to a frightening flight on a miamibound American Airlines jet, the plane experiencing severe turbulence, five people were sent to the hospital. Abcs david kerley has the latest, joins us from reagan national. Good morning, david. Reporter good morning, robin. It was sudden and severe for the passengers on this flight to miami. Passengers tossed around when they hit the turbulence. An ambulance on the tarmac, passengers loaded, one with a neck brace injured during their flight from grenada hit by turbulence which flew them from their seats. Gentlemen a couple rows ahead were sleeping and didnt have on his seat belt either and his head damaged the aircraft. Reporter thats the damage caused by that passenger after flying out of the seat. In all, five passengers were taken to a local hospital for minor injuries. My hands were shaking afterwards because it was terrifying. Reporter in a statement American Airlines says the seat belt sign was illuminated at the time and that pilots did not have any indication of severe turbulence in the area. The plane landed without further incident. One possible cause for scenes like this, clear air turbulence which pilots cant see. It happens when a fast and slowmoving jet stream pass alongside each other. The air between those streams are disturbed and if a jet passes through it can get very bumpy very quickly and radar cant detect i now, robin, this is the second incident in a couple weeks we reported on where passengers didnt have their seat belts on. This is why the aircrews tell you, this is why when youre in your seat keep your belt on. You dont know when youll hit turbulence. Thank you so much. To abcs tom llamas in for amy with the mornings other top stories. Crisis building in syria. Huge crisis, good morning. Thats where we start in syria. Escalating fueling new tensions between the u. S. And an old enemy, russia. Overnight, the u. S. And six allies condemn russian air strikes in syria claiming moscow was attacking moderate opponents of Bashar Al Assad instead of attacking isis. But the kremlin is Standing Firm saying just this morning, that 12 isis targets were hit in the latest air strikes. And this morning we have new details about the popes meeting with kim davis, the kentucky clerk who refuses to issue samesex marriage licenses. Today the vatican released its first detailed statement about the visit. Heres what they said. The popes meeting with davis should not be considered a form of support of her position. And back here in the states, another major consumer data breach. This time 15 million tmobile wireless customers may have had their personal information compromised including their Social Security numbers and addresses. Hackers got the information from a Credit Reporting Agency that tmobile uses. And two Las Vegas Casino dealers have been arrested accused of running a lucrative cheating scheme. Theyre charged with skimming a Million Dollars from crap tables at the bellagio. The alleged scam involved bets that came in late or were uncleared during those games. Called phantom bets. Dealers and their friends could face decades in prison. Forget the eighthour workday. How would you like a sixhour workday. Theyre experimenting with the idea and companies say, get, this, the workers are fresher, more focused and bosses report fewer arguments. Our executive and senior producers looked into this for a hot minute and then they just laughed and said never ever is that going to happen. But, thanks, tom. We appreciate that. I dont know about you guys, ill take an eighthour workday. Ill take that. I was thinking that. That works. Some is 14. Instead of the 14 wee do. All right, coming up, Clayton Sandell shows us how to prepare for a hurricane and floods. Good morning, robin.

[jerry bell iii] deep couch sitting est text1 plain on the lookout and, of course, were tracking Hurricane Joaquin and this morning, we are telling you how to stay safe during a hurricane including one thing that a lot of people do when a storm is coming that you really shouldnt. Abcs Clayton Sandell is at Underwriters Laboratories in chicago with more on this. Good morning, clayton. Lara. Outside chicago. Theyve been nice enough to fire up their cannon for us this important to help us demonstrate one critical way to protect your home when the worst storms strike. Millions of people are bracing for impact. Oh my god. Reporter as Hurricane Joaquin churns north and flooding threatening the east coast. Stocking up and buckling down, all part of the exhaustive process of making your house hurricane safe. I kneed to get a generator in case we lose power for an extended amount of time. Reporter the biggest threat, wind, water and power. During a violent storm, winds can gust to nearly 160 Miles Per Hour. With debris and projectiles swirling all around you your homes most vulnerable points the window. The envelope of the house is breached and thats the walls, doors and windows. If its breached by flying debris. It could blow out other windows the. Reporter what to do, first that old advice tape your windows, experts say, dont. Watch as we shoot this ninepound 2x4 at taped up glass, it tears right threw. Experts say boarding up with plywood works better. But the best, impact resistant glass built to withstand winds up to 200 Miles Per Hour. The next step keeping torrential rains and floodwaters out as little as an inch of water can cause mold, sandbags and berms are common sites but even inland with duct could save a home. Once water enters your home it can cause problems simply because water and electricity do not mix. Reporter remember, being prepared doesnt end when the storm passes. Fallen trees and downed power lines are dangerous. Sometimes plunging entire cities into darkness. After Superstorm Sandy in 2012 some residents were without power for an average of six days. Then theres staying connected. Experts say invest in backup power packs for your cell phone and labtop. Even a solar charger for as little as 30 bucks. Okay, so here in o is the reason experts tell us you do not want to tape up the windows in your home. Were going to fire this cannon on the count of three, one, two, three. And you can see what happens. We taped up this window and you get these very large shards. Compare them to these, these are from a window that was not taped up that we broke earlier, this is from the window that we actually taped up. You definitely do not want these flying around your home. Lara. Yeah, definitely not. Clayton sandell, thank you. That was surprising. And slightly alarming. Thanks, clayton.

So, here we go. Theres Brooke Gibson right there and Adrian Franklin walking down the aisle as flower girl and ring bearer and then check this out, 17 years later walking down that very same aisle in that very same church as husband and wife. So beautiful, but it was love at first sight for brooke, adrian not so much. Take a listen in a the speed feed speed dial. She was trying to chase after me.

Everyone here this morning, mourning those brave victims and also thanking all of those heroes who rushed in to try and help so many people who were vet, he charged at that 26yearold gunman and was shot seven times. We are so happy to report that he is out of surgery this morning. That is incredibly remarkable but at the same time there is a lot of anger and a lot of questions surrounding that 26yearold shooter, chris mercer. He lived nearby with his mother. Not yet known what his connection may be to this Community College. But there are those alarming reports that you just referenced that he asked students what their religion was, standing them up one by one and then if they said christian, he killed them. That is the report from one of those classrooms and we expect some of the victims who perished in this deadly massacre to be identified later today as families are mourning their loss, but so many questions remain as to why this happened and how we can prevent it from happening again. You saw and heard that angry president obama yesterday saying what weve been doing up till now is not good enough. I know when he said our enough. No. Lets turn to our top story, that potentially deadly storm now. Coastal flooding. More than a foot of rain expected in some areas and rob marciano is there in Virginia Beach for us.

This doesnt surprise me at all because days ago you were telling us that could be the possible track but youd never know when were that uncertain thats what you have to keep in mind.

We welcome you back to gma. The campus shooting in oregon once again throwing the spotlight on an important question. Can we keep our schools safe . Abcs david wright is here with a look at that. Good morning. Reporter hugely important question. American phenomenon but they are a uniquely american epidemic. Every campus in the country is grappling with this issue, how do we protect our kids . This morning, those families in oregon are reeling from a threat all of our kids face. The challenge nationwide being able to prevent a crisis before it occurs. Reporter Daniel Carter runs a Safety Initiative formed after the deadliest College Rampage in u. S. History, Virginia Tech where a lone gunman killed 32 students and faculty members. Theres almost always some type of red flag in advance of they type of crisis situation. Reporter nearly 50 of advanced warning. Attention, this is a drill. We need to lock down. Reporter many schools run regular drills. Please go behind my desk. Reporter we witnessed one in colorado, the teacher locks the door, the students huddle. The teacher trying to strike a balance between calmness and fear. This is all very real to her. When you look at those kid, are you always thinking, somebody lives like that. No, no. When i look at those kids i think how great they are. I think how lucky i am to teach them and i think about i wonder what theyre going to be like when they grow up. Her school Skyview Academy is now taking the drills one step further teaching the teachers how and when to fight back. Youre steving a lot to be heroes who dont have the training who arent necessarily adduls. You bet. They dont have the training because we dont prepare them. Reporter when the gunman bursts in everyone throws something at him. Tennis balls but in real life it could be a hole punch or a desk chair or a dictionary. The question is, would this save you know, those active shooter drills are controversial. Many people worry they scare the pants off the teachers and the kids and the teachers there told us that they do feel better, though, having gone through that training because they dont feel like sitting ducks. Most campus violence occurs at the start of the semester as it did in oregon and most often in the transition points of the day, going to school, after school or during lunch. Interesting. Something to keep in mind. Yeah. Sure is, thank you, david. Back to amy in oregon. She is with Alek Skarlatos, one of the american heroes who stopped a terrorist on a french train. Attended umpqua Community College. Hello, amy. Reporter yes, george, and alek, you are here with us this morning. Its a tough morning for you. You called roseburg home for the past six years. How are you processing everything thats happened in the last few hours . I mean its just absolutely insane to be in a situation like this especially and my town roseburg, i mean this is a really Small Community and just something of this magnitude happening here is just very rare and just unheard of. Reporter there is an incredible twist of fate here to this story because six weeks ago you took down a terrorist on a french train and because of the response to that, that is the only reason why you werent on that campus yesterday. You had already enrolled for tuesday and thursday classes, correct . Yes, i was enrolled in the reserve academy on saturday and tuesday and thursday classes and i if i didnt get called for the dancing show i would have been on campus. Reporter so if you hadnt agreed to do dancing with the stars, you would have been on campus when the shots rang out and im sure you know what you would have done. I would have tried anyway. When you hear about the response that within eight minutes they had that shooter down, its not surprising in this community. No, its not. I mean the Law Enforcement here is excellent but i mean in any kind of shooting or situation where were you when you heard the news . Walk me through what the moment was like. I was actually in the studio with lindsey dancing and i got a text from one of my friends telling me what had happened so i looked it up on the internet to confirm it and i was just in total shock and i just sat down for a second and then hid in the bathroom so the cameras couldnt see me. And then you booked a flight in yeah, almost within an hour i decided that i would come here and be with my community. And your friend, your family all safe and sound this morning . Yes, as far as i know, i mean everybody that ive contacted has been fine, so im really grateful for that and i just i mean my heart really goes out to the people who cant say the same. I know it does and your support here im sure means everything to them. Alek skarlatos, thank you so much for being with us this morning . Thank you. Appreciate that. George, back to you. Thanks to both of them. Shatter the entire community. Lets go outside to ginger. George, were out here on a in new york city. This, though, not moisture from joaquin. Joaquin now we have an update, separate storm from the coastal storm thats going to drench south and north carolina. Joaquin is still in the bahamas moving very slowly northwest at three Miles Per Hour. Its going to take more of a northnortheasterly track. At this point the trend is for the cone of uncertainty to sway out to sea. That would be good news just kicking up big surf. 41 in marquette. That is the big pict cindy good morning to you. Im meteorologist Cindy Fitzgibbon. A wet start here down along the south coast and the cape this morning. That rain lifting towards boston around lunch time and continuing up towards southern New Hampshire by the time we get towards this evening. Along the coast, watching that its a cool, raw, damp da well have updates on the coastal flooding and how much rain to expect in the southeast in a couple of minutes. Lets head back inside. Thanks. We switch gears and we have more fit myths. I cant say that right. You had all week to work on it. Focusing on nutrition, when and what to eat before and after you work out. Mara schiavocampo on the case again. Good morning, mara. Reporter good morning. You know theres a saying that Healthy Bodies are made in the kitchen, not the gym. Everyone from Fitness Instructors to nutrition ifs noting what you eat is one of the biggest factors in weight loss and muscle gain. Fit foods, everyone from celebs to professional athletes sharing photos all over social media. The rock posting this, egg, turkey bacon and muffins, even lebron james drinking a Peanut Butter smoothie. How important is nutrition to someones fitness goals. Die set a huge factor. What you eat will end up dictating where your results come from. Reporter knowing exactly what to eat and when can be confusing. So we asked sports nutritionist Jason Mccuskey to break it down. What to eat an hour or two before hitting the gym. You dont want to start out starving or stuffed. So youre going to want to look at about 150 to 250 calories of food. Kind of comprised of carbohydrates and protein. Reporter as for postworkout, if youre trying to lose weight, time your workout so its right before a meal. When you have to eat anyway. Lean protein, lots of veggie, you know, having a lit bit of a a complex carb, whether it be a starchy vegetable or fruit. Reporter looking to build muscle use that postworkout period to refuel, 300 to 550 calories of preteen or carbohydrate. Jason suggests not waiting more than two hours to eat. If you go much longer most tend to get really hungry and leads to becoming ravenous and make poor food choices. Reporter no matter when you eat the quality of the food is key. Lean tree teens and vegetables, the whole grains, healthy fat, they have nutrients in them that love us back. And, of course, hydration is also really important. Jason recommends drinking about 12 to 20 ounces of water in the hours before your workout so you dont get dehydrated part of the way through. Keep your power up. Lets go through preworkout, what you do during and after. Starting out with the pre. There is an idea you have to carb load, right. But really unless youre training for a marathon you dont need that many carbs. This would be an exam of the carb loading preworkout that you dont need. Instead. Mix it up, complex carbs and protein so the milk and oatmeal and we have berries in there, a super food and this will give you lew. During the workout a lot think we have an edge with a sports drink. Again unless youre training for a marathon and doing hours of training all this will do is giver you calories you dont need. All you really need during your workout. I know what this is going to be. Good oldfashioned water. Stay hydrated make sure youre drinking throughout and you dont need this unless youre training for something major. I love the tip eat right after. Important not to wait too long. Also your body is looking for fuel after the workout so this is a protein shake. The headache is a good option especially if youre on the go you have the time, real food is always better. You want to try to prepare a meal that will replenish, repair and give you the energy you need to refuel. Something like a complex carb, a sweet potato will refuel. This is kale, antiinflammatory and the protein, its going to help you rebuild thats why its a good idea to move your workout up to meal time. Because youre not adding in a meal or smack. If you plan it before a workout youre going to need a meal anyway. Good advice all week long. News. Get over here. It is time for pop news friday edition. Are you ready, tom llamas. Im pumped. Ready. Ooh, look at george. Like your own personal runway. Work it. There we go. There we go. He was strutting, wasnt he . Come on. Come on. We need you. Who else is going to look at me incredulously.

Light goes all over the lid and what this does, it creates a nice surface for putting the rest of the eye shadow on. It also lightens up any kind of darkness, the medium color with a fluffy brush also makes sure the powder is off it and that starts the lower lash line and outside. Darkest, a shadow or a gel pot or a pencil and then you line the eye starring at the outside all the way across so its eye shadow as eyeliner. Lay iring is really fun and playing with different textures. A little bit of shimmer, a little bit of sparkle, super, super pretty. All right. Thank you. Im just going to admit robin and a were dancing to that music. Outside to ginger. Im having a lipstick moment. I have to apologize if advance. Sparky is behind me, National Fire awareness, right .

Im announcing a detailed plan to crack down on these abuses. T commentator he may be lowering it after Hillary Clinton blasted him out of the water. The outofpocket costs p should have to choose p between buying the medicine they need and paying their rent. Im Hillary Clinton, and i approve this message. Andrew p the one thing about soccer that i like the most is when i put my uniform on, the age just leaves me. The ages leave all of us. We simply become kids again. R i think all of us play for that very reason. T it makes us the child we once were. P the years just glide away, and im back to where i was. P you are that little andy guy who used to be down in me, and i get to be that person all over again. My name is andrew, and Bluecross Blueshield has me. Queen rania of jordan has been speaking out about the refugee crisis in europe. It is not a new crisis to her country. Over the past five years refugees have come to make up 20 of jordans population. I sat down with her this week when she and her husband King Abdullah were here for the u. N. General assembly. Your majesty, thank you very much. Been looking forward to spending this time here with you. Its an absolute pleasure, thank you, robin. The one issue that is finally made it here to american shores, the refugee crisis and this is something that you and your country, you have been dealing with, taking in refugees for the last five years like 600,000. Absolutely. This is the syrian refugee crisis is a true humanitarian catastrophe. I think people dont realize the magnitude of the numbers. 250,000 syrians have lost their lives as a result of this conflict. Half of the population of syria of them are displaced and 4 million have become refugees and often hear people say why arent the countries in the region doing more. We are doing quite a lot and this you know, jordan is a small country thats quite resource poor so its really been a major issue for us. Puts a strainen 0 the whole economy. It puts a huge strain we do need assistance from the international community. When you talk about the numbers, president obama just said that we, the United States, will accept 10,000. Is that enough . It isnt though for the United States or for europe alone to soldier the burden. I think we all have to Work Together to try to find a cohesive and comprehensive and a unified approach to this. Do you think part of the problem here in this country and understanding. When you say refugees and when you talk to these people theyre like everybody else. They had jobs. They were providing for their family. Now theyre being misplaced. Is there are there misconceptions we have to get a better understanding. Yeah, i think the first thing we heed to do is put ourselves in their shoes. These people are not leaving by choice and thats the difference between migrants and refugees. Mike grants choose to go to another country because they want a better job or an education but refugees are running for their lives. When i look at a country like the United States, it baffles me that people dont understand it because this is a country that where immigrants have done so much and can you imagine what the United States would have been like without the contribution of the valuable contribution of so many immigrants. I dont know why we look at it, your majesty, so differently now. I think it might having something to do with the fact that these refugees are arabs and muslims and there has been a stereotype now thats been festering for so many years because the extremists have really dominated the agenda and have shall think caused a lot of fear and mistrust and intolerance towards arabs and muslims. Religious extremism, has it gotten worse and is there more that moderate muslims can do in helping in this fight to end the war and to end what isis is doing . The truth is that, you know, the groups such as isis, ill refer to them as daesh, they are building and broadcasting a brand of global terror implicating islam, muslims and we saw a part of this, and i know you recently met with him and he was we interviewed him on our program, thedown man from texas, ahmed mohamed. The outpouring from people who stood up for him and said, no, this is unacceptable. How does his story help and hurt . Well, you know, i think it kind of woke us all up to the fact that some of these stereotypes can seem into our subconscious without us knowing and make us make grave misjudgments of people. Sometimes causing a great deal of unfairness and injustice. Finally, what do you want to say to this big, wonderful, we all share . You know, when people look at some of these crises that we see like the refugees and ask what can we do, it begins with empathy but then you have to act and acting doesnt just mean you just click like and move on to the next post because you assume that somebody else will do something about it. You are that somebody else. Youve got to act on your values because if you dont, they just slip away. They strrt to erode and that wouldnt be a good thing for he of us so i think my message would be, you know, remember what matters and i think the pope really reminded us in the last few days and act on it.
