Everything on main street is down, damaged, some houses. One house was caught o fire. Reporter four people were killed including a toddler. The search continues this morning for more victims. In north calina, this twister caught on camera. Terrifying. Felt like thehole house was shaking. Reporter seven houses ripped major damage. Hurt wh all the damage we had. Reporter in the midwest whiteout cditions creating havoc for drivers. Highways littered with cars in illinois after nearly a foot of wet snow fell. Overnight torrential rains slamng the northeast, blinding conditions forcing drivers to pull off roads. Winds packing such a powerful punch, this semi tractor trailer getting knocked to its side on the heavily traveled George Washington bridge. Power lines down and igniting across new jersey and in philadelphia, winds dropping trees on cars and houses. The storm forcing nearly 3,000 flight cancellations, 1,200 flights into and out of chicago alone. And back here in lancaster, pennsylvanania, wean tell you the nationalleather service will be coming out to look at this damage to see if that was caused by a tornado or not but the good news right now, perhaps deaths reported, sam. Unbelievable, gio and the damamage thereo what theyll look for is whether the Straight Line wins was such a pushing damage or theyll to see if there was a twist. If there is a twist, pow, tornado. Now, if you think that february storms arent powerful look at the size of tha tornado. This is just one of them we were talking about. That one in evergreen, virginia. Now to waverly, virginia, a townn waking up this morning destroyed. A town thats looking around a realizing that at least three members of their communityre dead this morning. Phillip mena is there live. Hey, phillip, just tell us what you see around there. Again, monster storm. Reporter absolutely, sam. Good morning. The devastation in this town is just strikin and as you mentioned, right here is where those three people were killed including that toddler but there are no signs of the trailer they were in when the storm hit, all thats left are these piles of lumber and twisted metal and over there, the remnants of whahat was just yesesterday a functioning laundromat and rightow you can just lined up there in the open air. Authorities here are still assessing the damage, we are told. Everybody has been accounted for but its going to take months to rebuild, so, sam, just as you mentioned just a devastating blow to this community. I i got to tell you when people walk out the door and they cant realize where their streets are or where the markers that they knew every day in in their neighborhood its unbelievable. This storm isnt done. We have power behind it. Weve got big blast of cold air, some areas will still get snow. Snow wrarapping around the great lakes and in it was a big snow system as well, 15 inches in indiana. 10 nearr int, michigan. This cold air charges in and these are the storm warnings ill out for that. So watch that low pull away then know weve got some big changes in the northeast all the way in the great lakes coming. Watch these temperatures from the 50s today, pow, to the 20s friday morning. Saturday morning, just 12 degrees in burlington, sunday, 31 degree. Bounces back by the end of the weekend but right n its cold and windy coming in behind all that storm damage. Okay, sam, thanks very much. We move on to the race for the white house. Its your voice, your vot and with super tuesday just five days away, donald trump h lots of momentum after three straight wins. Tonights gop debate may be the last best chance for his rivals to sha things up. Jon karl has all the latest. Reporter were down to just five candidates on the stage tonight. If the othersant find a way to slow trump down, it wont be long until were down to one. At a predebate rally in houston, marco rubio showed a new willingness to take on donald trump. Questioning whether hes ready to be commander in chief. You cant just say when i get there ill hire t the smartest to do. Repororter in a fox news Forum Last Night bot rubio and t cruz qstioned trumps conservative credentials. We are not going to allow the conservative movement to be defined by a nomee who isnt a conservative. Election, who the heck nows what hed do as presidt. I mean, you know, we need a president we can trust. Reporter trump is also taking fire from the last gop nominee, mitt romney, over his unreleased tax returns. I think we have good reason to believe that theres a bombshell in Donald Trumps taxes. When people decide they dont want to give you their taxes its usually because theres something ty dont want you t see. Reporter trump fired back tweeting that romney, quote, blew an election that should have been won and is now playing the tough guy. Coming off three straight wins, trump now seems confident hes on h his way to the nomination. I mean, its going to be an amazining two months. [ cheers and applause ] we might not even need the two months, folks, to be honest, all right. Reporter hes even musin about his potenal Vice President ial pick. Theutsider saying he may go with a washington insider. I do want somebody thats popoliticalecause i want to get we all want passed thats just sitting there for years and years and years. Reporter trump is also getting his first insider support. Just yesterday, george, he was endorsed by two junior memembers of congress, his very first congressional endorsements but as he told you just yesterday, endorsements are a, quote, waste of time. He did say that. Youre in front of that board. Lets give eveveryone a sense o why we call it supuper tuesday. Whats at stake . T this is the single biggest day of the eire primary. Nearly 600 delegates at stake, about halff you wld need to clinch the nomination. Youve got most of the big states inn the south, a littl bit of new england, a little bit of the midwest and, george, this also where you can continue to get delegates even with a donald trump ahead in most of the polls in most of those states right now so both rubio andruz have to find somewhere cruz. His home state votes, he has to win texas and his entire campaign has been based o if he cant find a way to win there its lights out for that campaign. As for marco rubio its unclear where he c can win but you can look at where hes spending his time. A lot of time in nnesota, virginia, nnessee, oklahoma, unclear which of those states he can win but hes got to show he can win somewhere. Okay, jon, to matt dowdwd in texas where the Republican Debate will be held tonight. This debate is maybe the last best chance for cruz and rubio to shake things up. Up until now theyve been going at each other more than they have at trump. Weve seen evidence that ted cruz is willing to take on donald trump but i think the real question mark is on the same stagean marco rubio willing to get into it with donald trump . And i think nobody knows the answer to that question. I think theres an an internal debate in the campaign whether they confront donald trump on the stage tonight or leave him alone and continue on the way. So i think thats the Million Dollar question. Will marco rubio take ononald trump on stage tonit . Will anyone pick up on this mitt romney weighing in on the campaign yesterday saying there trumps tax returns. Of course, he faced questionons, as well. You think anyone w will pick up that attack . I dont think so it seems a bizarre line of attack by mitt romney who as you say was attacked on his taxes by this. My advice to mitt romney, theres a lot of vulnerabilities donald trump has but don go after donald trump onn tax elevators. Much. Youll join us on super tuesday. You all can s stay with us on super tuesday. Ill be herere with our whole political time plus full coverage on gma and world news tonight. Now to another battle, this one between apple and the government over National Security and privac in an abc news exclusive world news tonight anchor david muir sat down oneonon with apple ceo tim cook to find out why the mpany is refusing the governments request to unlock the san antonio killers iphone. As we sit here you know some of the families of the victims out in support of the judges order that apple help the fbi unlock that iphone. One family reportedly saying were angry and confused as to why apple is refusing to do this. What would you say to those families tonight. David, they have our deepest sympathy. What theyve been through, no one should have to go through. Apple has coorated with the fbi fully in this case. They came to us and asked us for all the information we had on this phone and we gave everything that we had. But this case is not aboutut one phone, this cas is about the future. What is at stake here is can the government compel apple to write software that we believe would make hundreds of millions of customers vulnerable around the world including the u. S. Oud have to write that system in order t to unlock that phone. Yes. Yes, this is we ha no more information abo this phone. The only way to get information we know would be to write a piece of software that we view as sort of the software equivalent of cancer. We think its bad news to write. We would never write it. We have never written it. And that is what is at stake here. The fbi says it believes syed farook used that phone to communicate with his wife, his accomplice and im curious, do you struggle at all with the possibility there could be information on that phone that could reveal other plots, other people who were involved in planning the San Bernardino attack . David, if we knew a way to get the information on the phone that we havent already given, if we knew a way to do in that would not expose hdreds of millions of other people to issues, we would obviously do it. But in your quiet momentso you have any concern that you might be a able to prevent a terrorist attack by breaking into that phone . David, somehihings are hard, and some things are right, and some things are both. And in this case, you believe ere are some things that justt should never be created. Correct. As we walked across the apple campus, it was not lost on us that this would have been steve jobs 61st birthday, cook says not a day goes by he doesnt think about his iconic predecessor. I did think about what he would do and i am so convinced knowing steve, steve alwaysid what he thought was right and it is so clear to me that he loved what america was founded on so much and would do nothing to put all these customers at risk. Hed be doing the same thing. And joining me now abcs senior justice correspondent Pierre Thomas and abcs chief legal analyst dan abrams. Good morning to both of you. Good morning. Good morning. Pierre, one of the points cook makes if apple grants this request they may ask again it will set precedent. What are the feds saying about that. Theyre just not buying cooks arguments. They say this is not about mass surveillce at all. One official told me the fbi simply wants apple to develop a way int that phone that will be known only to them. He admitted that the fbi and other police agencieies will likely come to apple with new requests in the future but each time each agency must convince a court to approve a search warrant and emphasized the San Bernardino invesgation remains urgent because the killer couple swore allegiance to isis and said they need to know if others were involved and if anything else is out there. Publicly were talking about National Securi versus privacy but legally its more defined than that. Refer, phone company, Computer Companies have been assisted the government in investigations and thereby violating peoples privacy forer and the Supreme Court has upheld it. The legal question here is effectively is in that much different . Is thi whats called an undue burden on apple . And thats as much a technological question as it is legal. Are they saying about these threats reportey made by isis against Mark Zuckerberg . The leaders of facebook and twitter have been the subject of online threats because they openly have stated plans to try to block the broad social Media Campaign from isis. Butt a number of security analysts are skeptical of the vides credibility and whether this group really has the means to carry out that attack. Thank you so much. George, over to you. Well get the latest on that deadly rampage in michigan and learning what jasonalton was in the daybefofore he dithat. Abcs alex perez has an exclusive interview.

Reporter he o only beg driving for uber in the weeks leading up to it facing six counts of murder. What were they thinking . They were thinking like everybody else, why. Repororter the motive for now remaining a mystery to even his family. Jason by all accountnts was a fairly gregarious character, a good father, well known in the community. Well liked. An tre was nothing to indicate that somomething like this would occur. Reporter as new details reveal that dalton went to his parents house after the first shooting occurred at this residential complex telling his family that his chevy equinox had been sideswiped and he needed to switch cars eventually taking his parents chevy hhr before heading back out. Thats correct. Police told carol what happened. Reporter at that moment was she in dielief . I can only imagine. Shes still in disbelief. Reporter for good morningng america, alex perez, abc news, kalamao, michigan. Thanks to alex for that. Amy, you have startling new video. This shows just how dangerous ecigarette batteries can be.

Right now the latest on erin andrews and her blockbuster 75 million lawsuit against the hotel where a stalker secretly recorded a nude video of her and cried in court yesterday as her fafather testified she is a shell of her former self. Eva pilgrim is covering the triall i in nashville. Good morning, eva. Reporter good morning, erin andrews fighting back after suffering through an unthinkable crime, a stalker videotaping her changing in her hotel room. This m morning she returns to court. Her lawyer blaming theotel for that video. An emotional day in court filled with painful memories. She kept screaming, im on the internet. Im on the internet. Iim naked. Away tears as her father recounted her horror at being fifilmed through a peephole at a tennessee marriott byichael david barrett. I feared for her life. She wouldnt eat. She wouldnt bathe. She wouldnt talk. All she would do is cry. Reporter andrews now suing barrett as well as the owners and managers o that marriott for 75 milli claiming the show tension intentionally placed barrett next door to the tv star. Her lawyer saying they failed to notice he removed and altered 9 peephole using a hacksaw to make the hole bigger. Stands there for 4 1 2 minutes and videos her. Reporter andrews told gma inin 2010 about how her father had reacted to the news. I remember my dad saying to me, you may have a stalker and i i just dad, dont say that dont say that word. Reporter the hotel claims barrett is a criminal who tricked them into gaining access. He deceived. Reporter the hotels lawyer saying he found her room number by calling from an employee phone to ask which room andrews was staying in and b b bking the room next to her and posti the videos line pleading guilty to stalkingn 2010 and sentenced to 30 months in prison.

Reporter its been eight years and he says his daughter still isnt the same. Shes full of xiety. Shes very, very changed person. To know. Reporter now, more witnesses are expectedd to be called including that stalker. This case is expected to last as long as two weeks. George. Okay, eva, thanks. Dan abrams back to talk about this. The newest member of our legal team sunny hostin, welcome to abc. Thank you. Niceo see you. Its wonderful to be here, thank you. That means you get the first question. Te us about the impact o the fathers testimony. I think it could beery significant because this case is about what effect did this have on eriandrews, what effect does it have on a woman when she is surreptitiously videotapeped ile nakednd that videotape is all over the internet for the world to seend he says she is a shell of a person. I think the seven women and five men on that jury will listen to that andhat will be really significant to them. 75 million worth . Typically this sort of testimonwould be viewed as emotionallind of character but really relevant to the question of damages when trying to assess how much is this worth and the father is saying she is no longer the person she was. Here i how she has suffered. Now youre not just talng about the emotional side. Youre talking dollars. Youre talkingbout the amount she has suffered, therefore, the plaintiffs hopope it can here. Nny, as dan pointed out yesterday 75 75 million is multiples of wt people get in way wrongful death lawsuit. Its a big number, sure, but how do youou put a price tag on Emotional Distress . How do you put a price tag on what i think is every womans nightmare, again, naked pictures of you takenen and posted all over the internet. I think the jury will likely send a message, sometimes these judgments are symbolilic and the jury may send a messagege that to women. You ct doo this to erin andrews and youre going to pay for. The could send a a powerful messe. Theres no question that the guy who did this is the one who is primarily responsible. Theres also no question he doesnt have real money so the big legal question is goingo be how much does the hotel pay inonnection with that ruling. If anything. Do you think well see erin andrews on the stand. Absolutely. No question. Thanks very much. Back to amy. We have another legal bombshell regarding singer kesha.

City council picked up a pay increase but that could be changing. The council recently gave initial approval for a 50 percent hike.

When compared to the salary of a county supervisor, who receives anywhere from 32 to 40 granand a year the 10 to 15 thousand earned by the city council averages out to less than minimum wage. About 545 an hour on a thirty hourur week. Even Council Members who were initially against the increase think it could help the future of the city council if the Salary Increase incentivizes people, uh others interested, good, hopefully young people interested in City Government and more importantly interested in the invested commitment be i the pay increase would not affect current members of the council.

Culligan man the problem is your water hugh jackman is back with a brandnew movie about one of the most improbable olympic heroes ever. Earlier this week, robin sat dodown with hugh and his costar to talk about eddie the eagle. Heartfelt new movovie inspired by a dreamam cometrue. Taron egerton portrays eddie ed wards a resilient underdog determined to get to the olympics no matter what it takes and theres only one person thats going to hp him get there and, of course, its hugh jackman. Take a look. Wantt your moment, eddie edwards, i ka get your momen but its going to hurt like hell for both of us. Your back leg, wrong posisition. Get closer. Thehe flame its not better. Its crap. Oh, you and taron. Youant say that in the morning. I know you cant. Oh, so great to see you both. I laughed. I knew i was going to cry. I knew i was going to be touched by thisis. I rememberddie the eagle, 1988, big sports fan here. Im sure i remember very well.

But i gave it a good go just like eddi just like eddie and i got to tell you, hugh, your character, you play aormer ski jumper. Yeah. A aot of talent, but a bad attitudede exactly. Y yre here to teach him but die really steves you. He kind of brings me out. Its sort of his redemptive talent, friends and how friends can b bring out the best in each other and both are outsiders but my character had all the potential and none of the endurance or courage or stick ability that really eddie had. I watched this what friends and one mum said every kid should see this movie because it kind of says you dont haveo win in life too be a winner and ttss this movie, the theme of this moved. W what was the like working wi someone like mr. Jackman over there. We had such a good time. I mean, the movie is inspirational a uplifting but its just so funny. We just spent two months laughing at each other. I kind of made it my mission to try to put hugh off through every single scene. E. Did it work . Oh, yeah, y can watch the moe. Moments where you see me laughing and they made the but he is hysterical. The transformation was just inedibible. Do you still find yourself mimicking eddie a lite bit. Two months after we finished shooting my motherp kept going, op doing eddie. Give us the eddie face. Brilliant. I know. On cue. I know you posted on certainly media that you had another goaround. Yep. With your skin cancer but everything is good. Everything is great. Skin cancer is out. By the way, mines the mostt minor form ofkin cancer basal regardless who you are get checked.
