Nearly a dozen tornadoes across four powerful storms that made for a frightening night, no doubt. Theres the tornado right there. Lets go.

Theres gatlinburg, some rain heading there and expect heavy rain there but unfortunately the damage is done. Yes, it is and, rob, we have linzie janis standing by there in gatlinburg, the heart of the fire zone. Robin. Heavy wins whipped up those flames again overnight but as rob mentioned the rain has already begun and that should provide some much needed relief for firefighters who are out overnight battling the blaze and going door to door searching for the missing.

Linzie, thanks very much. The latest on the trump trabant. The president elect making key appointments to his Economic Team as 13eklation swirls around mitt romney as secretary of state after that intimate dinner last night. Story. Good morning, jon. Reporter good morning, george. It must have been quite a dinner. After a gourmet meal at one of the restaurants in one of trumps buildings here in new york, mitt romney who once called trump a dangerous fraud and a phony emerged to praise the president elect as someone with an inclusive message who will lead america to a brighter future. The longtime rivals were greeted with applause as they entered the pricey french restaurant inside the Trump International trumps new chief of staff Reince Priebus in tow. Garlic soup with sauteed frog legs. Prime sirloin for trump, lamb chops for romney. Romney called trump a fraud during the campaign. As a potential secretary of state. I happen to think that americas best days are ahead of us. President elect trump is the very man who can lead us to that better future. Reporter but there is serious opposition to romney the former Massachusetts Governor isnt the only option on trumps radar. Another contender, tennessee senator bob corker, also met with trump about the job on tuesday. He needs to choose someone hes very comfortable with that he knows theres going to be no daylight between him and them. Reporter trump is quickly filling up other cabinet posts including his first Major Economic appointment. Treasury secretary trump is expected to tap his Campaign Finance who spent 17 years working for Goldman Sachs. Former Bush Administration labor secretary elaine chao is expected to head the transportation department. Chao is well known on capitol hill as the wife of senator Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell but as his cabinet comes together one trump advocate is chiding the president elects continued use of twitter. Newt gingrich criticized him for states cant randomly tweet without having somebody check it out. It makes you wonder about whatever else hes doing. Reporter tomorrow president elect trump heads to indiana to begin what his team is calling a thank you tour. Hell start with a big announcement, a deal to keep a factory operated by the air Conditioner Company carrier in indiana. The company had planned to move the facility and its 1400 jobs to mexico. But, george, details of what carrier was o of incentives to keep that factory in end that have not been revealed. Governor mike pence working on that. More with matt dowd about that we dont know all the details but likely to save 1,000 jobs. Pretty big win for president elect trump. Its a win. People in the midwest think nobody has advocated for them. If donald trump gets the win its a big deal for him. The question as jon says, what did he have to give away and the public courtship of mitt romney and donald trump right now. Pretty remarkable given what romney said during the campaign. But its not a done deal yet. No, its not done and i dont think anything is done with donald trump until its formally announced. The reversal is stunning. The degree of difficulty on this dive for mitt romney is more than a 4 1 2 reverse somersault with a tuck position. Its greater than that and i would think it would make more sense for jim harbaugh to go to work state buckeyes as an assistant coach than this move mitt romney is making. A reversal for both. Trump called romney entirely unimpressive. And a loser and romney called him a fake, a phony, a fraud and con man. What romney did not do is apologize. The question, is that required in trumps mind . We dont know the answer to that yet president elect on twitter early this morning. Several different tweets including one that could be very significant saying that on december 15th he and his children will have a press going forward. He says it will be a big press conference. The kids will be there. He says it will be him removing himself in total from his company. Interesting, several tweets on this, one says i feel as visually important as president to in no way have a conflict of interest with nye various businesses. If he turns the company over to his children, as he has said before, ivanka trump is a big part of that. Ivanka trumps husband Jared Kushner is i am told going to b wing with president elect. Devil in the details on this. Well watch that press conference. The fascinating thing were getting more information on him from twitter than press conferences. The way hes communicating right now. Over to robin. Now to charleston, south carolina, where Police Officer Michael Slager is on trial for a fatal shooting. He took the stand on tuesday breaking down during his testimony. Abcs Steve Osunsami is there in charleston with the details and reaction. Reporter good morning to you, robin. This case could go to the jury today. We could hear closing arguments this afternoon. Michael slager didnt have to testify. But he clearly wanted to tell his own story in his own words. At times he was tearful. My family has been destroyed by this. The scotts family has been destroyed by this. Its horrible. Reporter former North Charleston Police Officer Michael Slager was here on the witness stand trying to convince jurors hes not a murderer saying that he killed walter time he says he felt threatened. And at that point i made the decision to use lethal force because mr. Scott never stopped, hes always dangerous. Reporter but prosecuted asked how dangerous could scott have been as he was running away from the officer unarmed. They even made slager stand up and hold a tape ruler to show how far scott ran before slager started firing. It was 18 feet. I didnt know what was going firearm until the threat was stopped. Reporter shortly after the shooting slager told investigators he thought scott was running away with his taser. On the witness stand he said he now knows thats not true. That it fell to the ground. Slager says the two fought over the taser in a struggle that happened before the cell phone recording. But he had trouble explaining what hes seen doing here. Picking up the taser from one location and moving it closer to scotts body. I dont know why i dropped it on the ground but i did pick it up seconds later. Gear . I cant even answer to that. Reporter lawyers for scotts family says it looks to them like slager was planting evidence. You always wonder why exactly did he run back and pick it up . And then actually drop it by mr. Scotts dead body. Reporter it is possible the court could take a field trip to the crime scene today. Slager is pleading not guilty. If he is convicted he could get up to life in prison. Michael. To that devastating plane crash with the Brazilian Soccer Team on board. This young fan is mourning the loss, six people miraculously made it out and david kerley has more and theyve recovered the black boxes. Reporter thats right, michael. Yes, they have the black boxes but the question this morning is, the true reported an electrical problem. So do those boxes stop recording information that could solve this mystery . Having pulled six survivors from this crash scene, teams recovered 71 bodies of those who did not survive. And the black boxes which could answer why the commuter jet crashed taking a Brazilian Soccer Team. Stunned fans overnight holding a vigil. The shock seen on the face of one of the youngest fans and two injured players who didnt make the trip to the teams first ever finals. The jet was headed to the medellin airport which is surrounded by mountains. Abcs Steve Ganyard has flown colombian military. Even at daytime it is a sporty place. Rugged terrain and oftentimes weather and high altitude. Reporter the pilots reported an electrical failure and an emergency before the aircraft tail hit a mountain and the rest of the jet slid down the other side. But how did those six people survive . The wreckage will help provide the answer. Increasing the odds of survival, those sitting within five rows of an exit and passenger aisle fare better than those in window seats. Theres no way to game it and say if i sit in the front the back will hit first. It depends on the mishap. Every mishap is a little unique. Reporter odds already on the fliers side. More than 95 of plane Crash Victims survive. In fact, a professor who studies this says you have a better chance of becoming president of the United States or winning an olympic gold medal or a nobel wow. I have one question for you. Why is it better to sit in an aisle than a window seat. Reporter its because if something happens and you do go down you can move quicker to that exit and get out than somebody who has to move two seats, get to the aisle and get to the exit. All right, david, makes a lot of sense. To amy with the mornings other stop stories starting with the Big Development in that escape from the california jail. Thats right. As you might imagine people have been on edge around san jose for a week now but overnight we escaped last wednesday has been captured nearby. Laron campbell was one of four men who sawed their way out of a second floor window in the jail and used bedsheets to rappel to the ground. One escapee is still on the run. Well, isis now claims the somali refugee who went on that rampage at Ohio State University was one of its soldiers. Students held a vigil for the 11 people injured. The attackers family says he used in the attack just one day earlier. Well, hundreds of thousands of cubans gathered in havana to say goodbye to fidel castro castros ashes will now be taken to the eastern part of the island where the revolution started. President obama is sending a white house aide and a diplomat to sundays funeral. Well, a fender bender sparked a dramatic case of road rage in england. The guy in the green started wrestling the other driver then he got back behind the wheel and moments later he returned with a shovel and went on the attack smashing the guys window. Police are now trying to find that man. Finally one daredevil took riding his bike to new heights. He rode across look at that. This is the top of a 650foothigh 650foothigh dam balancing on it. He had a rope and guide and said it wasnt a safe way to do it as contest and took him seven tries to get across. He backed up because of the high wins. He said it was the biggest adrenaline rush he ever had. Im sure. What de win . Another gopro . All for a camera, guys. More power to him. What do you got, rob .

We get to new details about california mom Sherri Papini found alive three weeks after she went missing. The search for her captors is intensifying as her husband shares disturbing details saying she was battered, bruised even branded. Abcs Kayna Whitworth is in redding, california, with the latest. Good morning, kayna. Reporter yeah, george, good morning. Sherri papinis husband keith saying she endured intense torture during her 22 days being held captive adding that ultimately it was sherris will to survive that brought her home. This morning, the terrifying details of Sherri Papinis alleged kidnapping coming to light. Among her Injuries Police now say she was branded, a message burned into her skin. I would think that that was some sort of either an exertion of power or control and or maybe some type of message that the brand it a symbol. It is not a symbol but it was a message. Reporter her husband keith described an agonizing three weeks in which his wife was tormented physically and mentally, telling gma, she weighed just 87 pounds and was covered in multicolored bruises, severe burns, red rashes and chain markings. Her signature long blond hair had been chopped off. Cut it off to change her physical appearance but also to humiliate them, wear her down. Reporter Authorities Say the 34yearold stayathome mom was abducted while jogging near her home in redding. A small town in Northern California where she lived with her husband keith an electronics salesman and their two kids. 22 days later she was recovered in restraints on the side of a highway 150 miles away. Releasing holding her for a pretty extended period of time does not make sense to me. It just doesnt. Because its it really does increase the risk level of the offender exponentially. Reporter according to the fbi there were nearly 85,000 missing persons in the u. S. Over 18,000 of them involuntary abductions. Only about half of those victims now, investigators met with Sherri Papini for a third time yesterday. So were hoping to hear today what they learned and its possible that if she could remember enough, george, we might see a composite sketch of her captors. That would be a big advance, okay, lets get more from former fbi special agent brad garrett, our abc news consultant. So many disturbing details, the weight loss, the hair cut off. To destroy her group and eliminate her past, this he cut her hair and starved her. They beat her, maybe torture, et cetera and its to make her part of whatever they are. Which leads to the next question, why let her go . Well, we dont know the circumstances. Did these two women, are they part of this group organization, whatever it might be decide this is too much . They pick her up and place her along the side of the road so the context of those two women is unclear. Have taken her. Is it likely though that other people were involved with Something Like this . I think so because theres too many steps, george, to go through the starvation, the branding, the cutting of the hair, its like im trying to make you part of whatever we are, whatever the group, whatever their extremist thinking might be. And the longer you do that, the person then becomes more dependent on you to survive. Thats what they want. A lot of internet traffic, oh, was this some kind of out. Knowing from what you know from the outside do you rule that out, as well. Absolutely. If youre going to disappear are you going to go to this much trouble and have somebody brutalize you, brand you, starve you. Not likely. The final question, random or targeted . Any clues there . Im going to guess random and random because shes a woman out jogging, maybe she does it at the same time each day, perhaps this group were looking for a et cetera. And they just grabbed her. It could be an opportunity grab is what im trying to say. Okay, brad garrett, thanks very much. Over to michael. All right, george. Coming up on our big board, kanye in crisis. The rapper still in the hospital after that breakdown. Well find out what we can learn about his condition now.

Time for the big board breaking down more of the top stories. Dan abrams here at the table and well get to your story in just a moment. First lets start with kanye west. The rapper canceling his tour and hospitalized last week for exhaustion. Now, People Magazine is reporting west is under, quote, constant watch for his safety. Peoples executive editor kate what can you tell us . You know, i think its right for people to be concerned. Were entering into a full week now that kanye west has been hospitalized. I think that tells you first and foremost this is more than exhaustion. Sources are telling us hes grappling with paranoia. That they are trying to figure out a course of medication that may help. But that theres still very many Unanswered Questions at this time and its an ongoing struggle. And his wife, she already has two young kids at home she needs to worry about and needs to worry about this. How is she handling all this. Shes also, of course, still dealing with the trauma of what happened to her in paris so in the wake of all this, she is not bringing the kids to see kanye in the hospital which i think is actually kind of understandable. You know, it could be very traumatic especially for their daughter north to see their dad in a hospital room in a hospital bed. So shes keeping them away for now. But it remains to be seen how his birthday is coming up on december 5th. Were thinking of both. The latest issue of People Magazine is out this friday if you want to read more on that story. Up next, a heated debate about random drug testing. An Indiana School board is facing backlash for a measure that requires certain High School Students to concept to surprise screening. And we sat down and you said, boy, we have a debate going on here. A lot of parents, this a lot of them feel like this is invasion of privacy. Others think its fair. It was a 32 vote and definitely legal, right. The reason its legal is because youre talking about Extracurricular Activities and students who park on campus. Those are the ones who are subject to the random drug screenings. The Supreme Court weighed in on this in 1995 and said its okay to test kids playing sports in 2002. They said its okay to test kids more broadly involved in Extracurricular Activities. Separate issue from whether its legal. And it actually exists in about half the schools in end that right now. Almost so if you want to play sports i have to do this but if i dont play sports if you dont engage in Extracurricular Activities. This is why its a bad idea. I think if you say to people if you engage in Extracurricular Activities youre suddenly subject to drug testing. What does that mean, that means some kid also say, you know what, i just wont do Extracurricular Activities. There also the abi the fact that these testing isnt effective. The American Academy of pediatrics is strongly coming out against it. Thats one side. We got two dads here. We got two moms on the board as well. Dan is fired up. Becky wants to weigh in. Ill jump in here because at the high cool in our town they breath lyze at the School Dances and that makes sense to me when theyre breath lyzing for alcohol. Now, as a parent my philosophy is a lot like u. S. Foreign but thats my responsibility as a parent. I dont want an organization necessarily doing that for my kid and maybe having it on their record. Thats true. How about you, kate . Im coming down somewhere in the middle. I have two boys who are approaching adolescence in just a few years and for me at this point anything that serves as a potential deterrent if this testing proves to have that impact to deter people as opposed to just punish them after the fact, has a sort of i can see the allure to something that would scare my kids off of maybe going a little too far on the weekends. Im with kate on that one. I like that. I just i was the subject of random drug testing as an athlete. Come over here right now and you if you do the right things you have nothing to worry about. I dont want them punished for a mistake that sticks with them for the rest of their lives but i do agree with kate if theres something to deter them. Counseling. They can cheat and theres also the argument that marijuana, for example, is much more detectable than harder drugs so could actually encourage kids anyway, a lot of stuff. You know how we feel here so at home wed love to hear you weigh in as well. Now to what could be one of the hottest gifts of the Holiday Season, drones and cue the drone. Yeah. But there is a new report out this morning in that is a tiny drone. Sounding the alarm bells about the rise of drone over the device. Becky, you are our expert on this. I know this was a gift for your twins last Holiday Season so tell us more about this. What do you think . Weve heard stories of drones taken out by annoyed neighbors with a shotgun but this report predicts well see a drone taken over by hackers, using a laptop, basically but i think before parents freak out that the kids holiday toy will be poached out of thin air think amazon drone. They anticipate it will start with high hiv end stuff, maybe Aerial Photography tore Law Enforcement but i have an image of it carrying a package and its like a pinata for a sophisticated thief. Forget about walking into somebodys door and taking a package. Th drone. No drone zone i say. So easier to grab it off the porch. Does anybody here have a drone on the christmas list . No, im actually really thrilled by this report because i had crossed it off my list already and now i feel fully vindicated. I wasnt getting one because i was convinced my boys would smash it within the first 48 hours which they would have and now its like, great, hacking. Another reason not to do it. As a mom youre always justified, kate. They really would have destroyed it in about 48 hours. How do the twins like the drones from last christmas, becky . Kates hit the nail on the hid except half as much. It was trashed by the end of the christmas day. Wow. Going to be on your Christmas Tree. Absolutely not. In particularly i dont want my neighbors to have them. Yeah, i mean i dont want it but thats the more important to me than not on my i had a neighbor who had one. Wasnt a good neighborly thing to have. Waiting to see how close he can get to strahan. There, i caught it. Coming up in two minutes the luckiest coworkers ever.

[ whoosh zap ] [ glass breaks ] aah [ male announcer ] try both. We ar we are back with a bitter battle between leah remini and the church of scientology. Remini has been an outspoken critic of the church. She left three years ago and fronting a new docuseries and the church firing back and nightline anchor dan harris has the story. What youre about to see sheds light on the truth of defended and believed in most of my life. Reporter leah reminis battle against the church of scientology reached a whole new level tuesday night with the First Episode of her new Docuseries Leah Remini scientology and the aftermath. I hope that this project at least validates your pain is real. Reporter a es eightpart series follows former members of the church and tells their stories. Reminis church in which she was raised began when she quit three years ago and then escalated last year with the release of her book troublemaker in which she described her life within scientology. Really did believe that i had oneup on everybody because i had this scientology thing. Reporter the church said her book was a pathetic quest to get publicity. As for her new show the church insists it is full of lies and said it is doomed to be a cheap she needs to move on with her life instead of pathetically exploiting her former religion, her former friends and other celebrities for money. Reporter remini tells the Hollywood Reporter they were trying to stop this show from happening. They were trying to disparage my name. When you stop [ bleep ] peoples lives and families ill stop too. Reporter remini is now demanding 1. 5 million from the church. She tells the Hollywood Reporter its a response to the horrific and libelous letters they sent me. Claims that back when she was starring in the cbs sitcom the king of queens tom cruise and the church urged her to call her then boss, less moonves, the chief executive officer of cbs corporation. She says i got pressured to call les moonves at cbs to try to get a 60 minutes report squashed. She made the call but moonves refused to intervene. We reached out to cruise and cbs leah remini last year in which she described the power and allure of the church for her when she joined as a child. So for a kid who was always looking around comparing herself to other people, to be part of a faith where you had a mission to save the planet. Save the planet. That must have been a big deal in yes, and because scientologists view children as spiritual beings youre not treated as a kid so youre given a lot of responsibility. Your ego inflated. Reporter remini says her new show is about families that the church has torn apart. Something she says she knows all too well after losing a best friend to the religion. The church of scientology says in a statement to abc news, it is sad that leah remini wishes to exploit for money those who tirelessly worked to help her when no one else was willing to tolerate her behavior. Adding that remini needs to stop blaming the church. And we are back with our chief legal analyst dan abrams and, dan, given her history remini must have known and a e must have then in was coming from the church. Absolutely. Scientology is notoriously litigious and will protect what they view as their reputation. To great length. So as a result, you can count on the fact that a e went through everything she said line by line and separating out opinion from fact, right, as a she can give her opinion about things. The dangers as a legal matter are stating something as a fact and so a e clearly believed that they had enough support for the various factual claims that shes making here. What is the standard there for a church as opposed to a public figure on the factual claimsy is it enough for it just to be wrong. The same because the church isnt an individual but basically the same legal standards apply as would apply to any other church. Lawsuit to take so were seeing a lot of back and forth here between leah reminis lawyer and scientology, a lot of threats going back and forth. A lot of demanding going and back. We wont get 1. 5 million in shes not going they want a Million Dollars. That sounds like a fair amount. This isnt a lawsuit yet. These are just threats back and forth and i dont expect its ever going to end up in court. Dan abramsms, thanks very mu. Well be right back. There is nothing typical about making movies.

Definitely think anonymity probably adds to some people just posting whatever they want to post but what should someone do if you get these. You can speak out to the offender. Tell them to top in no Uncertain Terms and block them. I think as these websites are businesses, you have to think of yourself as a customer, a consumer. You tell the website whats going on.

Thats going to have the biggest impact for the business. Bottom line has the biggest impact every time. Thank you, rebecca. We appreciate that and now lets go upstairs to lara.

There are different ways, they said, okay, if youre at a party and more than a dozen people in attendance you should say goodbye to the host. Thats one day if theres more or less. If there are fewer than a dozen you have to say goodbye. Otherwise you can do the right. The irish call it ghosting. And if theres more than a have to say goodbye to the host. Heres the caveat i have. I have to leave things early a lot because of this and if its like a dinner party you dont want to break it up.

Lara, we know this especially and maybe you have he is masterful. This man right here at getting out. You do it so well. Lied the charge and hid behind george. In his wake. Yeah.

Thank them and that gives them the hint that im thanking you because i got to go. Real simple. If there are more than 12 people there you can sneak out and then just send a little thank you email and youre not being rude.

I was in the south of france on vacation and all of a sudden i need you in indianapolis, you know, i hated to hear the situation with dale having, you know, the injury, but, man, im a team player so i came back. Why did you decide to write this book now. Well, because i was i thought i was wrapping up my career as a driver but, no, seriously, you know, to go all the way back to the beginning. Probably a little bit of therapy for yourself . Oh, my gosh. Probably some things you look back and say, man, i did that. I accomplished it.

And in reading it i couldnt help but think about, you know, ricky bobby and talladega nights. I wasnt i wasnt thinking of that when we wrote the book. You about ive had a lot of people comment about that but honestly like i go back to that time of my life and i go, who was i . I mean life was good on one hand because of all the wins and the success and my lifestyle was just booming and blowing up and all that but on the other side it was like, this is not me. This is not who i am and so, yeah, there was definitely some ricky bobby moments during that time.
