everybody and picked bryan. a lot of reaction. >> a lot of reaction to that. that's coming up. but first, let's get the latest on that severe weather that is slamming the country, a powerful storm system stretching all the way from texas to the east coast. flash floods down south this morning and that possible tornado destroying buildings and cars in maryland. abc's stephanie ramos is on the scene in salisbury for us. good morning, stephanie. >> reporter: robin, good morning. the intense winds caused a path of destruction here in salisbury blasting a hole through this building here leaving cinder blocks and debris scattered on the ground, and the storms aren't over yet. lightning, fires and floods. >> ooh, ooh. >> reporter: in maryland, a possible tornado touching down. >> it sounded like bulls running across the roof. >> reporter: the violent winds sending vehicles flying. damaging homes and crumbling buildings. security footage even showing one car flipping across a parking lot. plus, a large storm system triggering emergency flash flood warnings in houston this morning, torrential downpours dumping up to 6 inches of rain. >> the water just like submerged our car. >> reporter: a similar scene in san antonio, up to a half foot of rain falling fast. rescue crews saving drivers trapped in rising floodwaters. >> it's just about going over the hood. >> reporter: and dangerous lightning strikes sparked numerous house fires throughout texas. >> pretty much the whole attic looked like it was on fire. >> reporter: this, as we see new video from the moment that ef-2 touched down in tulsa. >> oh, my goodness. >> it was just black and everything exploded. >> reporter: the family that shot this cell phone video said they didn't have time to escape the powerful twister. >> they yelled get away from the window and next thing we're underneath the debris. >> reporter: thankfully no one seriously injured here in salisbury, but the mayor tells me it'll take some time for families and businesses to recover from the damage. robin. >> thinking of everybody there, stephanie, thank you.w to ginger with more. mialready performed this morning in houston. you can see some of the images coming out. new numbers now indicate more than 8 inches of rain has fallen in the last 24 hours, 6 of it came in just 6 hours from about midnight till 6:00 a.m. this is all from a stationary front and it's still going. the flash flood warnings still in place near houston there, mississippi back through arkansas. that stationary front doesn't move a lot, it bubbles around and you will see more rain, birmingham back through central mississippi, even central georgia including atlanta, a lot of rain today. george. >> okay, ginger, thanks. we're going to move now to the latest on president trump. he is camped out in bedminster, new jersey, meeting at his golf club with his health secretary tom price. how to handle insurance companies facing the loss of government funds. at the top of the agenda. the opioid crises as well. vice president pence expected later this weekend. a government report shows climate change has had a dramatic impact, and that's at odds with the president and his top official. no word on whether they will dismiss or address the report. trump's support from his base is slipping. strong approval of the president has dropped from 73% in february to 59% now. let's get more on this from our chief white house correspondent jon karl and, jon, let's begin with the polls right there. the president was tweeting yesterday his base is getting bigger every day. this poll at odds with that. >> reporter: directly at odds with that and, george, we've seen the president's numbers come down as we've mentioned before. historically low for a president this early in his first term. and, george, the team at the white house really has a choice here to make. does the president try to reverse those numbers by expanding his base, by reaching out to those who are not traditional trump supporters, or do they further try to energize his base and it seems that that's the direction that they believe that he needs to go, which is to go further to the right, further to energize and to get going his hard-core supporters but right now those supporters seem to be soften >> and that certainly seems to be the tactic the president is taking with his tweets. yesterday, that extended tirade against senator richard blumenthal, attacking him for failing to serve in vietnam even though he was in the marine reserves at the time, and this comes from a president who didn't serve at all. >> reporter: exactly right, who actually got more deferments than senator blumenthal and he's also been going at "the new york times" quite aggressively. most of his tweets over the last 24, 36 hours have been about sidney blumenthal or about tth "the new york times," continuing to call "the new york times" the failing "the new york times," so much so that "the times" is responding, george, and put out a statement to respond to the president on this. take a look at this. "the times" saying the facts matter. we just reported 3.3 million paid subscription, our most ever, and our stock is up nearly 50% this year directly responding to the president and trying to speak in the president's own language. >> the president already up and active on twitter. he seems simply to be doing a running commentary on "fox & friends" and retweeting their stories. >> reporter: it's really something else, george. we've seen this over and over again. this morning, most interesting is he retweeted a story on "fox and friends" that seems to be based on a leak of classified information about spy satellites over north korea, u.s. spy satellites, exactly the kind of leaks that the white house has been condemning, but there the president is apparently interested in what's on "fox & friends." >> and what's so strange about that, presumably this is the kind of thing he could learn from his own intelligence officials, yet he seems to publicize it when he sees it on television. >> reporter: he gets the presidential daily briefing a little later in the morning. the first brief apparently is "fox & friends." >> jon karl, thanks very much. robin. >> quite bizarre. tech world. google firing an engineer a document that questions google saying the memo promotes gender stereotypes. abc's nick watt has the details, joins us from los angeles. good morning, nick. >> reporter: good morning, robin. well, google's ceo reportedly rushing back from vacation to handle the fallout from this ten-page memo that was written by a male engineer and it includes lines like women on average have more neuroticism and abilities of men and women differ in part due to biological causes. these differences may explain why we don't see equal representation of women in tech and leadership. he also accuses google of a left-wing bias. now, late yesterday the 28-year-old engineer james damore was fired. google's ceo saying, portions of the memo violate our code of conduct and cross the line by advancing harmful gender stereotypes in our workplace. now, damore trending on twitter overnight and splitting opinions slammed by some for a perceived misogynist point of view. others saying he was gagged accusing the search engine, goliath. google already fending off a lawsuit from the department of labor alleging discrimination, google, which does employ more men than women, denies the charge and claims not to have a gender pay gap. robin. >> so what is the fired engineer saying this morning? >> well, this morning he is confirming by e-mail to news outlets that he was fired for, he says, perpetuating gender stereotypes and he is right now, he says, exploring possible legal remedies. the story, robin, far from over. >> the story and the issue far from over. all right, nick, thank you. >> absolutely. >> fierce debate. we switch gears to down south. a manhunt for the killer of a police officer during a routine traffic stop in missouri. the victim's family is speaking out as the dragnet continues to grow. abc's alex perez is on the scene in clinton, missouri. # >> reporter: good morning, george. authorities say this all happened very quickly. the officer pulled the suspect over and within seconds the suspect was shooting at him. this morning, an all-out manhunt for a suspect they're calling a cold-blooded killer. ian mccarthy accused of shooting and killing rookie officer gary michael. >> shots fired. officer down. officer down. i repeat, officer down. >> reporter: sunday night, around 10:45, officer michael pulled mccarthy over because his headlights were out. mccarthy, police say, immediately getting out of his vehicle and shooting at the office who was able to return fire even after he was shot, but the suspect sped away. >> suspect believed to be running on foot from that location, subject is still armed. >> reporter: the 39-year-old has an extensive criminal background including an outstanding 2013 arrest warrant for assault and at least a dozen other criminal charges in new hampshire. >> it was cowardly for him to just jump out and ambush officer michael like that. >> reporter: officer michael was an army vet, stepfather of two, and had only been with the force for about a year. >> he's my hero. right. he's my big brother. that's it. he was always the light of my world. i will miss him but i had a great time with him. >> reporter: and family members say officer michael always wanted to be a police officer and he was doing his dream job, some 60 investigators now working this case around the around the clock. robin. >> so sad. alex, thanks. now to another manhunt. police in ohio are looking for two men suspected of opening fire during an apparent road rage incident and shooting a 4-year-old boy. just the latest in a spike of violent road rage incidents all across the country, and abc's diane macedo is here with those details. good morning, diane. >> robin, good morning. this cleveland mother was driving with two kids in the car when she says they were followed then shot at, all this after she honked her horn. this morning, cleveland police are warning the public after a 4-year-old boy was shot in the head in a possible road rage incident. the boy's mother says it all started when she honked her horn at a stopped car sunday. the car then followed her and opened fire. police say the suspects are still on the loose, warning there may have been two gunmen. >> these people are very violent and don't have much regard for human incident comes just two days in dallas pointing a gun directly at another driver. >> somebody like that needs to be off the street. >> reporter: victoria best says she started filming when she noticed the car in front of her driving erratically. police now say they have identified a possible suspect. >> we're waiting for phone calls to see if he pointed the gun at anybody else. >> reporter: a recent analysis found incidents involving a gun more than doubled from 248 in 2014 to 627 last year. last month the driver of this red pickup truck was charged with first degree murder after allegedly shooting and killing an 18-year-old over a traffic merge. >> somebody didn't want her to merge into a lane of traffic. and because of that a young woman is dead today. >> reporter: and such a sad story but lucky for this 4-year-old boy in cleveland, it seems his will not end that way. he survived that shooting and we're told he's in serious condition but expected to recover. >> oh, that is good news. all right, diane, thank you very much. what is going on? >> crazy. >> it is crazy out there. we're going to turn now to a family that's searching for answers after their dog died in the cargo hold of a united airlines plane when their flight was delayed on the tarmac for two hours. jim avila has the story. >> reporter: lulu was part of the family, 5 years old, a cavalier king charles spaniel. her owners say their vet signed off on lulu's health, so she was loaded into the cargo section of a united flight from houston to san francisco. the flight was delayed on the ground in houston for two hours according to lulu's family facebook post which reports, when we went to pick her up, she was dead. united has a special animal cargo policy and facilities called petsafe that include air conditioned, climate-controlled holds in the air, on board transport vehicles and warehouses on the ground. their website assures pet owners of comfort in any weather conditions and that pets will be the last ones loaded and the first ones off the plane's cargo area. still, according to the department of transportation's statistics, from 2014 through 2016, of the 26 pet deaths during transport, united had nine, more than any other u.s. carrier. the humane society warns that cargo hold travel should always be a last resort and in the summer, middle of the day flights should be avoided and some dogs should not fly at all.r family, lulu had a -- what we call a smooshed-in face which made her more susceptible to the extreme heat conditions. >> reporter: the airline says in a statement they are so sorry to learn of lulu's passing. they've offered condolences and assistance to the family and promise a thorough review of the incident. another tip from the humane society, if you must bring your dog along and it's too big to fit under the seat, personally tell the pilot or co-pilot that the dog is there or a flight attendant because they can then watch out and be extra vigilant about whether or not it's too hot in the cargo area. george. >> that does make sense. okay, jim, thanks very much. we're going to move on now to new developments in that hbo hack. e-mails from one of the company's top executives has been leaked online along with secret scripts from "game of thrones" as the hackers demand a huge ransom. abc's linzie janis is here with the story. good morning, linzie. >> reporter: good morning, george, the hackers dumping more data this morning, bragging that their hack of hbo is the biggest leak in the cyberspace era. it comes just as the network aired the fourth episode in the latest season of its "game of thrones" to more than 30 million viewers worldwide. overnight, another massive data dump from the hbo hackers. among the second round of files, e-mails from an executive at the company, as well as more documents related to "game of thrones," including an upcoming script from an unaired episode and financial balance sheets for the company.

do you have family members who are taylor swift fans and get rid of the super fans. they aren't making it onto the jury. you don't have any concerns about that. you have more of a concern, the people who know her to some degree, have family members who know her. like her, et cetera. but i think it's actually sometimes easier than we make it out to be. meaning, yes, there are a lot of taylor swift fans out there but there are a lot of people out there who don't know that much about her. and you see that in all these high-profile cases. you are able to find people who don't know that much about her and about the case. >> what are the other challenges here. >> i think the most important issue, and that was the other question that was mentioned is, have you or someone you care about or love ever been the victim of a sexual assault? remember, this is a celebrity case, yes, but in reality this is a sexual assault case. i mean, taylor swift is saying she was sexually assaulted. let's not forget that in the context of taylor swift and big-time celebrity, et cetera. this is about credibility. it's about a guy who got fired from his job saying it was based on a lie and it's about taylor swift saying i was sexually assaulted and decided to stand up for myself. those are the kind of issues that are more important than figuring out who you want on the jury than taylor swift fan, not taylor swift fan, et cetera, because the creditable, not just of taylor swift the celebrity but of taylor swift the person and if this deejay, the person, based on what they're saying happened becomes critical in the case. >> that's going to be the thing that everybody has to wipe away once they're sitting on the jury pool, the personas around the two people. >> and it comes just -- will come down to their testimony. and that's why i said this yesterday, her testimony becomes critical. the only way i think she really has a danger of losing this case is if she's terrible on the witness stand. if she doesn't come across as credible. it's a really tough case for him. and as a result, he's going to have to be terrific and credible, so those are the key issues in the case. >> dan abrams, thanks very much. robin. all right, george now to a new twist in that model kidnapping case where a british woman says she was abducted, drugged and threatened with being auctioned online. an arrest has been made but now there are new questions about her story. abc's james longman has those details. >> reporter: this morning, british model chloe ayling with her family after meeting with authorities, recounting what she says was her abduction, allegedly drugged, bound and stuffed inside a suitcase to be sold on the internet, the so-called dark web. the 20-year-old recalling her ordeal to reporters after her return home sunday. >> i've been through a terrifying experience. i feared for my life second by second minute by minute hour by hour. >> reporter: now, italian media are questioning some aspects of her story claiming ayling burst into tears when police asked her why she was seen shoe shopping with one of her captors during the time when she was allegedly held hostage. saying she had previously met her captor in paris in april and during the three interrogations ayling insisting there were five assailants but investigators so far only have two people of interest. polish national lukasz herba and his brother. overnight, ayling's lawyer confirming that she did go shopping with captor but said she feared for her life. there watching her and ready to kill her if she tried anything. >> reporter: ayling's lawyer telling abc news his client has been through hell and he's disgusted with the conspiracy theories in the tabloids. >> she was told that she was going to be sold to somebody in the middle east for sex. >> that's all i want to say. >> reporter: and new details about her alleged captor who is this morning behind bars. his computer equipment has been seized and police describe the 30-year-old who lives here in the uk as a fantasist. robin. >> all right, james, thanks very much. a lot there. coming up, are those apps million use to buy and sell secondhand items putting your safety at risk?

unlike we've ever seen not about sharing photos but a private society of women who can honestly share their joys, pain and worries about a complicated and sometimes painful life that many of us can never truly understand. with the regular season just weeks away, many are thinking about football. but for the wives and families of nfl players every day can feel like game day. so many worried about injuries and chronic traumatic encephalopathy, brain trauma affecting a growing number of players. to cope, a special sisterhood has developed on facebook. the group filled with wives, daughters and widows of current and former nfl players. its founder whose husband played ten nfl seasons telling us, the purpose of the page is meant to be a supportive measure to a silent partner of the nfl family. one of those partners janet dorsett. >> it's a safe place for us to be able to come and basically talk about anything. >> reporter: her husband hall-of-famer tony has been diagnosed with early signs of cte. she says the forum is a place to talk to other women about her issues. >> it's hard to deal with a lot of what we deal with and in particular with a husband who may start to show signs of brain trauma and do it on a public stage. >> reporter: some wives saying the group of roughly 2,000 has been a lifesaver, offering a private place to put their pain, questions and worries. >> i may not have met any of these women but i've met them through facebook and that's enough for me. >> reporter: janet mccoy saying it was a crucial line of support joining the group after losing her husband mike to dementia last year. the retired packers cornerback diagnosed with the disease in his 50s. >> a lot of it has to do with what we're dealing with as wives, how to best take care of our husbands. the one thing that i felt strongly about is validating a wife's feeling. it doesn't make any difference if they think they're alone, they're not. so many of us have gone through the same thing. >> reporter: for jordan nelson whose husband cory is a fourth year linebacker for the broncos it's a safe place to ask questions about life in the league. >> last year my husband and i went through an agent change and i was able to private message someone in the group who had been through the same thing. things like that that maybe regular friends can't relate to. things like with family issues, you know, like getting cut, traded, those types of things are things that we discuss. >> reporter: so though they don't meet in person many in this nfl family saying they really get to know each other and trust each other. janet dorsett even pointing some of them to programs that the nfl already has in place and as for the nfl, the group telling us overnight that it does provide a number of programs offline designed to serve, educate and assist players and their families during and after their careers offering assistance for their mental, emotional, physical and financial well-being and, guys, they truly do need it. we see the sport, and michael, you know we see it as glamorous, but these family members deal with a lot. >> i think it's glamorous and love to say how brave it is and how much of a warrior these players are but i think it's even more brave to see their wives of retired players who have lost their husbands to some of these issues and current young players who are all coming together to share their stories. that's bravery to me to just let other people know hey, we're going through this and we're here to help you. >> banding together. >> banding together creating

was your confidence as high in bryan as he had his confidence in himself? >> bryan has a lot of confidence. i mean i was confident in our relationship but i mean, you know, i went back and forth because i had to make the best decision for me and i wanted to make sure i made the right decision which obviously i did. >> and, rachel, you were in a very precarious situation yesterday with peter. and what if peter had proposed to you as well? were you ready to face two proposals? >> well, no. i mean if you -- you see the emotional breakup that peter and i had and he was ready to propose, but at that point i knew that he wasn't the one for me. and it was really important for me to not have two men standing up there at the end. if i knew what i was going to do then i wanted to send someone home -- send that person home the night before. >> how tough was it to face peter live last night? i'm sure you probably haven't seen him since your last encounter. >> oh yeah i hadn't seen peter since what you saw last night. it was more frustrating to see peter than anything else. that was a frustrating breakup. >> i'm sure it was and was it hard for you, bryan? was it hard for you to see peter last night? i know it's tough for you to watch rachel on dates with other men when you know where your heart lies. >> it's always tough to watch your fiance date 30 other men. i actually didn't -- i didn't meet with peter last night, but, you know, i saw the final episode and, yeah, as a man, you feel a little frustration of how, you know, she was treated and the position she was put in for the simple fact that, you itted. totally invested. totally ready to start a real future with this woman and on the other end you have someone who is indecisive, wishy-washy and at the same time he's telling her he's in love with her and will propose. so, you know, it was just tough to watch. >> i tell you what, you guys are in traffic. we appreciate you checking in with us on facetime. we'll have more with you two coming up, okay?
