This is just 15 miles north. Conditions also extremely dangerous there. Heres what we know right now. 3. 2 Million People from florida through the carolinas have been told to evacuate. Without power in florida, and more than 4,450 u. S. Flights have been canceled since wednesday. Look at the storm right now. It is 350 miles wide and covers an estimated 280,000 square miles. Just a massive slowmoving storm. Our team is on the ground. David muir in jacksonville, and rob marciano in charleston. Well get to ginger. She is in melbourne. Its calmed down bit. Reporter a little bit. But we have been battered for the last couple of hours with 30 to even 70 mileperhour winds here. But two miles, there were reports of 107 mileperhour winds and thats why the storm is so close. South didnt have as much damage, but boy, is it near the coast. You can see on the radar, jacksonville will be next. This is important. You see where they dropped in southern florida. They are on in charleston and savannah. There are flash flood watches that extend to virginia beach, which you will hear about later. Look at the track.

So much more to come and so many people impacted. Been told to evacuate. This storm will most likely be the most devastating hurricane to hit jacksonville in 100 years. We have david muir. He is on the coastline. Good morning, david. Reporter good morning to you, david. As we are on the air live, governor rick scott speaking moments ago. Reporting that florida is halfway through this hurricane. You have georgia and the carolinas next. More than a half million without power because of this hurricane, and as ginger just said, the fear is here in jacksonville and the storm surge. Winds are expected to be 125 Miles Per Hour and gusts to that point. It surges up to 11 feet. Thats water on top of land, not taking into account the waves that will come in and the high tide. This is compared to superstorm sandy, which was 9 feet and the destruction we saw with that. Well get more on that inus moment with a map of the coastline and where the surge is most dangerous, but first, the pictures coming in this morning. Reporter Hurricane Matthew slamming into central floridas coastline. Unfortunately, this is going to kill people. With wind gusts up to 115 Miles Per Hour. Its kind of almost a whiteout condition out there. Reporter the hurricane eye just a few miles now off of cape canaveral. At least 10 inches of rain expected. You can see the water out reporter 300,000 are without power at this hour. These transformers exploding at vero peabeach. The National Guard now standing by. Asner vows parents bring their children to shelters like this one in jupiter. Im concerned what will happen when the house falls and where we will go. Reporter changing plans in this popular vacation state. Even forcing disney world to close. For the history. Airports emptied, with more than 3,800 flights already canceled here in the u. S. More than 3 million americans now fleeing their homes from florida up to North Carolina. Fema officials prepared to provide relief with states of emergency in florida, georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. The hurricane already devastating the caribbean. Running its path through the bahamas. Its force ripping through this the coast guard clearing a picture of home after home leveled. Just devastating pictures coming in from the caribbean, particularly in haiti where we believe more than 280 people have died. I want to get to the storm surge concern. Thats what were dealing with. Look at the map. You see the cone in jacksonville alone. 7 to 11 feet as i mentioned moments ago. Thats a when we are concern more concerned about that water than the winds. In the meantime, i want to go 30 minutes south of here and my cl colleague, abcs eva pilgrim who is getting hammered at this hour. Reporter david, we are seeing the storm surge here. We are not even on the oceanside. We are on the mainland here, and its blocking us from the ocean. Over the storm wall. It is now pouring down. Its pouringaugustine. You see how angry. Water is, and we were evacuated. From earlier this morning, we took off because we would not be able to make it across the bridge. That bridge [ bleep ] reporter as you can see thats what happens in the middle of our storm coverage. They will be safe. We will be on the water in jacksonville because thats where it will hit next, and this team right on through world news tonight. The storm is on its way to you. Lets go to jim dolan. The eye is about 30 miles away . Reporter it is, and we are seeing the strongest wind and right now here in daytona beach. It is right offshore right there. We had been outside in this storm just a few minutes ago, but the wind has gotten so bad that it blew some 300 or 400pound piece of glass and steel right we were standing. The hotel would not let us stay out there after that. It has been kicking debris for a long time. We spoke a while ago to the police chief here in daytona beach. He s they are not answering any 911 calls. Its too dangerous to do that. Anybody who stayed in their homes after they were ordered to get out after the last day or so, if you are in your home now, they will not answer any 911 calls for four hours, until this storm passes here. If you stayed here in your home, you are stuck there now no matter what happens. The police chief telling us its too dangerous to go inside and they will wait until the until this storm passes. About four hours. This is what it will be like now. Michael back to you. We hope everybody stays safe in daytona. Thank you, jim. Lets turn to lauren lyster. She is on smyrna beach. Good morning, lauren. Reporter good morning. The wind has picked up. It has become violent and very difficult to operate in and move in, and along with that, the water has risen. Just extremely calm river, and it has moved up. Its flooding the streets. These docks are submerged and these are breaking off. Drifting down the waterway, and residents are concerned about flooding because of the storm surge is expected to be 6 to 10 feet or more. Back to you. Well move to governor rick scott who i spoke to earlier Governor Scott, thanks for joining us. What can you tell us about the impact of matthew right now . Well, george, its about halfway up our coast off the coast of cape canaveral. About 40 miles. We have seen hurricaneforce winds up to 107 Miles Per Hour. Its still, you know, its not daylight so we dont know where the damage is. We have been blessed that we dont have we havent had a direct hit. As you know, just hurricaneforce winds, well see a lot of storm surge. If youre in jacksonville, you still have an hour or two to evacuate. Our to have up to 12 feet of storm surge and waves on top of that. It will impact rivers, not just the coast so weve got to be very careful about all the flooding well see and often as you know the flooding comes after the fact but this comes with the storm surge itll come in fast and leave fast so thats what i saw with the hurricane we recently had in the panhandle the water comes in fast and goes out very fast and it can kill you. That storm surge still is dangerous. Is it fair to say your state has like this before. We have over 22,000 people in your shelters. Fortunately, no traffic issues. No fuel shortages, probably less than a quarter of a thousand people without power. Theyre starting to restore it in miami and in the ft. Lauderdale area, and still assessing the damage, though, george. And as you say Going Forward youre concerned about more flooding in the coast and inland. What things you brace for right now . Well, the biggest thing right now especially going north were going to see a lot more storm surge than weve seen in the southern or middle part of the state. Thats my biggest concern right now and my concern all along has been, did everyone take this seriously and evacuate . If you are in the jacksonville area, you still have an hour or so to evacuate. So do it if you have a chance to evacuate. I dont want anybody to be around the storm surge. I watched in the panhandle. Difference. We had evacuation orders for 1. 5 Million People to move west of the state and we have plenty of people prepositioned, and we called up 3,500 members of the National Guard, and high water vehicles, food, water. So were ready to deal with this and well work in the aftermath. We already have 400,000 people without power. One final question, the state of South Carolina has extended Voter Registration because so many lives have been dis why wont you do that . George, look, we have the we have had plenty of time to register. Look, this is politics. I mean, right now, im focused on getting this done. Im focused on saving everybodys life. The Biggest Issue for me i want everybody to survive this. Governor scott, thanks for joining us this morning. All right. See you, george. That was Governor Scott earlier this morning. He says he is most concerned and still concerned about jacksonville, but all major roads are open, and no reports of significant damage. That is good news. A lot of concern about those high winds as well. Causing a lot of problems already. Ge lets go to gio benitez in west palm beach. Reporter were still get a little bit of that wind, but i want to show you the power of the storm. I want you to compare this tree to my height here. Were looking at at least three stories tall. Look at it. The roots are uprooted right here, and everyone was indoors, and safe and protected. Nobody was hurt here. But i want to talk about these Power Outages right now. We learned weve seen more than 350,000 Power Outages in the state of florida. No doubt as that storm just continues up the coast, were going to probably see even more but the good news, no report of any injuries right now. But right now theres this collective sigh of relief here in palm beach, one lieutenant telling us we prepared, we prayed and we were spared. Michael. It paid off. Gio, thank you very much. President obama is meeting with his team and we will bring you those remarks. He has been tweeting overnight that Hurricane Matthews is serious as it gets. Listen to local officials, prepare and take care of each other. Lets go to rob marciano outside of charleston. Reporter most people have been listening here. Im coming to you from a desserted South Carolina. Opening more evacuation routes last night. This is an area where people walk their dogs, and jog, all boarded up. People who havent gotten out can now. Time is running out for millions to get out. We need the get out now. Reporter the powerful eyewall Southern State license plates are heading into North Carolina. Were concerned. We took everything in before we left. Reporter many fleeing inland only to find hotels are booked up. Its almost impossible to get something. Reporter the reverse highway lanes will last as long as necessary officials say. And like this American Red Cross shelter. We are preparing for as many as 4,000, we can house if had this facility. Reporter at least 300 School Busses shuttling people across the state, and more than 1,900 National Guard troops are at the ready reporter but officials are concerned too many have decided to stay put and ride out the storm. By thursday morning, only 175,000 people had evacuated. There is no excuse to risk your life. Reporter a risk some residents seem prepared to take. We have decided to stay, because our home and businesses are here. Reporter the catalan knows are waiting and watching. We need more information. Were not ready yet. Reporter that family on the fence yesterday, likely on the move today. The track brings that storm as a category 1 or 2. Dra dangerously i felt an uptick in the humidity here in the last history. The surface front opens the door for a matthew approach tonight. Michael . Thank you for the update, rob, and matthew causing a lot of problems at airports this morning. Abcs david kerley has more on that. Good morning, david. Reporter good morning, michael. Moving to safety and the number of cancellation growing, even here in washington, d. C. Seeing some flights canceled. Already for tomorrow, flights are being canceled. Tomorrow, more than 2,200 flights canceled. In the past few days, Hurricane Matthew has led to the cancellation of nearly 4,000 flights and take a look at this. We dont see this often. This is flight radar data. Watch the skies over florida just empty as all the aircraft are flown away from the hurricane and picture from miami airport shows terminals empty. Not an aircraft on the ground. But heres what American Airlines wants to do as the storm passes miami. They hope to start getting flights in there later this morning and maybe some departures this afternoon. It depends on how much damage there has been at the airport, and whether the winds remain, guys. Its going to take the weekend if get to system back on schedule. All right, david, thank you. So many people impacted by this storm. Lets go back to ginger for the update. Ginger. Reporter it is well north of east of me, but were still dont go outside even if you think the storm has well passed you. I want to show you the timing. We stopped the clock at 8 00 p. M.

All eyes on florida this morning, that is port canaveral, lots of damage there from the wind, just two miles from cape canaveral. And authorities concerned about the high winds there as well. So many structures there that could be damaged by those winds. Daytona beach, a ghost town as the storm is hitting this morning. We have rain all across the state. Yeah, now st. Augustine, major fears there as it moves up the coast. A real concern about storm surge. More than 3 Million People have been told to evacuate from florida through the carolinas as the eyewall of that storm slams the east coast. And ginger is in melbourne, florida. We have been with her all morning long, and that is right in Hurricane Matthews path. Ginger. Reporter yeah. Hurricane matthew is obviously very close to us here. Were seeing gusts up to around but the eye of that storm is dangerously close to the coast. Heres what i want to show you on the radar. Were less than 22 miles from that eyewall, from the center of the storm. Its moving at 14 Miles Per Hour. We should get an update from the National Hurricane center is within the half hour to tell us whether it drops to a category 2 or not. Even if it does, it doesnt matter. It will still do considerable damage rite at the coast. Anywhere that comes in contact with that dark color on the radar there. Here, i wanted to show you the path and rpm, the futurecast. The stuff at jacksonville, a crucial time where the heaviest rains are starting to fall and brunswick and charleston and more of that friday night early saturday, saturday day through sunday moving across the state line from South Carolina into North Carolina. And a quick look at the path. I want to just emphasize, it is storm force winds. As we are right here. Ill be updating you throughout the morning. Starting at 8 00 a. M. Ginger, you are getting blown around. What can you tell us about the path further out . There has been some concern overnight that the storm might double back on florida next week . Reporter yeah. Yeah. The computer models kept trying to turn it back around. Everyone was saying, oh, my gosh and has happened in history, its not unprecedented but as of this morning it looks like it will just sit out in the ocean and then hopefully dissipate so its looking much weaker, and target again. If it does come back, we will be here telling you about it. Thank you, ginger. You can see the winds have picked up since the last time we talked to her. Back to david muir in jacksonville, florida, where the hurricanes winds could be catastrophic. David, what are you seeing right now . Reporter hey, michael. A rapid intensification just within the last 30 minutes right here in jacksonville, and they mileperhour gusts. And you see the storm surge. You see the waves picking up behind me. Theres between a 7 and 11feet storm surge. Thats on the land and that doesnt take into account that could happen at high tide, and the wind is going counterclockwise. You will have the waves crashing onto land behind it and to put this into perspective. Back during superstorm sandy, we were dealing with a surge of about 9 feet. They are expecting up to 11 feet right is why there is such concern here, and warnings and watches all the way up through the carolinas, guys. Thats why evacuations are so important and theres time for so many to get out. Look at this footage. Storm chasers flying into the eye of Hurricane Matthew, and i spoke with rick knabb, the director of the National Hurricane center for more on this storm. Good morning, rick, with what we know right now with matthews path, tell us what kind of damage youre expecting to see. The water could do and not just in terms of damage to structures, but lives. This is a big, major hurricane that is just offshore, and it is fully capable of producing lifethreatening storm surge, and if you are in an area that Emergency Managers have told you to evacuate and theres time to go, you absolutely have to go now. Your life could depend on it, and im worried about the inland flooding that could not oy cause flooding off structure, but if people are on the roads and in the wrong spots, inland flooding can take lives as well. You were listening over the the past 24 hours. This is the strongest language i have heard in a long time in terms of getting people to evacuate. Tell us why. I have used words i havent used in a long time talking about the scenario unfolding and how scary and disastrous this could be. Because when you have a hurricane not just impacting could unfold here, affecting so many communities and states is what were concerned about. Because we know from hurricane history that water takes 9 out of 10 lives in u. S. Tropical systems. Thats why were urging people to heed the instructions. If you live in mobile homes, you are being told to evacuate because of need to heed those as well. Not just about the wind, but the deadly aspects of water. Florida has not seen this type of storm in over a decade. Jacksonville in more than 100 years. Is it fair to say this is a historymaking storm . Absolutely. Matthew will write some history. The key here is that you dont want to be a part of it. I dont want to be writing a report from the National Hurricane center that totals up the storm surge or the inland flooding fatality, and you are we can still control. We can see whats happening to florida right now. What can folks in North Carolina, South Carolina and georgia expect . Bottom line is theres a little bit of time left especially in georgia and South Carolina to get out. Because storm surge and inland flooding, water, the going to be the main concern that threatens lives. Thank you for that important information. In the caribbean, a scene of destruction. Already hundreds of people have been killed, and emergency efforts are under way there at this hour. Bahamas where they are feeling the aftermath of the hurricane. Good morning, alex. Reporter good morning, amy. After a nearly 24hour downpour, the rain here has finally stopped as streets are flooded and trees down everywhere and the process of assessing the damage just beginning. Overnight, Hurricane Matthew lashing the bahamas. The then powerful category 4 storm roaring through nassau leaving behind a trail of destruction. Winds, sending debris flying. Tearing rooftops off houses. Oh [ bleep ]. Reporter toppling trees, to power lines, even ripping the side off this hotel. The storm surge is so powerful, boats sent smashing on to shore. More than 3,000 tourists on this Popular Island destination seeking shelter in Hotel Conference rooms, anything to protect them from this deadly hurricane. Now residents picking up the pieces. Still assessing the damage. Thousands still without power. But before Hurricane Matthew pounded the bahamas, it left behind a dire humanitarian crisis in haiti. Across the country, reports of coastal flooding and demolished roads. This morning the coast guard providing a clear picture of the damage Hurricane Matthew left in its path, crews conducting the first poststorm assessments over haiti. You can see home after home leveled. The United Nations moving in helping residents salvage what they can, 21,000 people now at least 350,000 in need of immediate assistance. Announcer this is an abc news special report. Hurricane matthew. Now reporting, george stephanopoulos. And we are coming on the air right now. For many of you that is gma in the west. President obama is about to speak about the hurricane. He has been meeting in the o office with his director, jeh johnson. You see the eyewall of the storm right there. 30 miles off daytona beach. Lets go to the oval office and the president of the united states. Tell me when everybodys set. All set. Obviously, everybody has been tracking the course of Hurricane Matthew, and i just received an update from our fema director, craig fugate, as well as the rest of our National Security team. I want to make a couple of key points. First, what were seeing now is matthew having moved above south florida and some of the largest Population Centers working its way north. And the big concern that people are having right now is the effects that it could have in areas like jacksonville on through georgia. And we have seen some significant damage in portions of south florida. I think the bigger concern at this point is not just hurricaneforce winds, but storm people thought this doesnt look as bad as we thought. And then suddenly, you get massive storm surge and a lot of people were severely affected. So i just want to emphasize to everybody that this is still a really dangerous hurricane. That the potential for storm surge, flooding, loss of life and severe Property Damage continues to exist. And people continue to need to follow the instructions of their local officials over the course of the next 24, 48, 72 hours. Those of you who live in georgia, i think should be paying attention because theres been a lot of emphasis on florida, but this thing is going to keep on moving north through there are large Population Centers there that could be vulnerable. Pay attention to what your local officials are telling you. If they tell uhyou that you ne to evacuate, you need to get out of there and into higher ground. Because storm surge can happen very quickly. People can think they are out of the woods and then get hit in be in a position in which they and their families arent safe. So Pay Attention to local officials. In the meantime, contact with the governors of all four of the potentially affected states. I want to thank them all for their leadership. There has been strong cooperation between federal and state and local officials. Fema has worked diligently to preposition food, water, assets, commodities. As the hurricane moves north, what craig is his team will be and assets further north so that any place that happens to get hit badly will be in a position to immediately come in and help. But i really want to emphasize, the governors have been on top of this. State and local officials have been on top of this. They are the ones who are tracking most closely what is happening in your particular community and your particular area. You need to Pay Attention to them do not be a holdout here because we can always replace property. But we cant replace lives. I want to thank craig and his whole team as well as the department of homeland security, my own National Security team for really staying on top of. Were going to monitor this throughout the weekend. Our thoughts and prayers are with folks who have been affected. Its even if the damage in it could be, there are people who have been affected and for them, they are going to need help. Last point i would like the make is were still tracking what happened in areas like haiti that were hit more directly. Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the world. It has consistently been hit and battered by a lot of natural disasters to compoun already great poverty there. We know that hundreds of people have lost their lives and that there has been severe Property Damage and they will need help rebuilding. I would ask all americans to go to the American Red Cross and other philanthropic agencies to make sure we are doing what we need to do to help people in need, and well continue to interested on how you can help, go to whitehouse. Gov and well provide you with how you can help, because even the smallest contributions make a difference. Okay. Thank you. Fema is in a good position right now. We had some concerns last year when we were in the midst of budget negotiations. I think making sure that fema was properly funded, and not to make them blush, but we happen to have one of the greatest Public Services in america in craig fugate, and they know how to use their money effectively. Thats not going to be an issue. Of course, we always want to be cautious about making assessments with respect to damage. Were still on the front end of this hurricane. We dont know how bad the damage could end up. We dont know how severe the storm surge could end up being, and were not going to know for three, four, five days what the ultimate effects of this are. If we end up having really significant problems, and really severe Property Damage, then the staffer act comes in to play, and we have emergency and other mechanisms and more help to governments. Thats always in question. As you know, we still have flooding in louisiana that has left a lot of people homeless. Over 100,000 people lost their homes there and we still have to rebuild. There is a backlog of need from natural disasters around the hopefully during the lame duck session to fund efficiently. Its not so much f heemas fund for the emergency response. The issue will be making sure that after the, you know, in this case, the hurricane, but in other cases, flooding or wildfires or, you know, other natural disasters, after they have happened, are we in a position to rebuild . Well obviously make those assessments after the fact, and then well talk to congress about how we can help out. Thank you, everybody. Thank you. Are you going to be im not going to go with the precinct. Ill probably do early vote. Ill fill out my form. Ill be voting, man. Some campaigning, too. All right. Thanks, guys. President obama there wrapping up his meeting on Hurricane Matthew there in the oval office before he heads out to his hometown of chicago. He says this is a dangerous storm although south florida has avoided the worst of the damage. They were telling everybody in the states of georgia and South Carolina, northern florida, jacksonville where the storm is headed next, pay local authorities. Kobe a holdout. Avoided the worst so far. Reporter and george, we have right here in parts of central florida, the space coast is where we started to feel the effects. 107 Miles Per Hour, one of the top gusts. You see the radar, its more than 60 miles away from me, and im getting battered. Daytona is getting hit hard. The storm we anticipate any moment getting new information from the National Hurricane center. I wanted to show you the track because it still hugs along, and later this afternoon for jacksonville, the brunt of it and then into savannah. Well see winds from this as it makes its way off. Ill leave you with the south. We have 48 hours left with matthew. Well be covering it, but north along the map, we have our folk. I want to go to rob marciano. He was saying this can be very, very dangerous. Even though it appears safe. Reporter well, for one thing, you know, what you are seeing on your tv, what were able to shoot is just what were able to shoot. Youre not necessarily seeing its not safe for us or anybody else to shoot. That could be up the River Systems for miles inland. I have seen cases where the bays and rivers will do more damaging storm surge to homes than right along the beach. We could see that in north florida, georgia and certainly in South Carolina. Thats the next state up after georgia. We expect it to last all day tomorrow, and the latest track charleston. We could see it by this time tomorrow. Its a dangerous situation. We imagine a very wellprepared assets inside and outside the zone. No worries there. George. We heard from the governor of North Carolina that his big concern is that this storm somehow stalls above the state, moves inland and that could just drench both carolinas. Reporter they have already had a pretty wet couple of months here. When these this interact with the jet stream and things that nudge them out to sea. That will squeeze out more moisture on the western side of the storm. We could see 10, 12, and maybe 14 inches of rainfall. Thats why they are worried farther to the north as well. We mention all morning long, 9 of 10 deaths happened during the water. Either the storm surge or heavy rain. The president said get to get to kohls thursday through monday because friends and family like you thats on top of already low sale prices storewide which makes fleece for him only 14. 39 and for her just 9. 59 everyone gets kohls cash too now thats the good stuff.

We had to move further inland because you could see that surge less the winds, that are expected to peak at 120, 125 miles an hour. More the surge itself, between 7 and 11 feet. Thats not taking into account high tide and the waves that will come in afterward.

Its the Lisa Colagrossi foundation and people can find it online. Thank you very much. More on this from dr. Jen ashton and, boy, lets begin with the basics. What is an aneurysm . Why are they so dangerous . If you think about the arteries, blood vessels, you can get an aneurysm anywhere in the body. This would be a normal blood vessel. Basically an aneurysm is a bulg part of it and since the arterial blood flow is under high pressure, that can start to leak and rupture which can be fatal. The good news is that many people have these and they dont rupture. But its so heartbreaking to see that lisa had the warning signs and ignored them. What should people be watching for . What people need to understand, the classic one is a sudden severe headache. In medicine we call it the worst headache of life and those are the words someone should use if they present to the emergency blurry vision or change in your vision, sudden drooping of the eyelid. There are lots more symptoms. If you think they overlap with those of stroke, youre correct. The bottom line is the response should be the same. Call 911, get to an emergency room. Do not deny, ignore or delay. Immediately. How about the underlying risk factors . Some people are born with increased risk factors for other things are under our control. Things like smoking, uncontrolled high blood pressure, excessive Alcohol Consumption or drug abuse. Lisa didnt have any of those things and a lot of people dont, but the good news is the awareness can be lifesaving. Thats what were trying to do today, and thats what the foundation is doing as well.

Hi, mom. I love you. Should we get to our combo . Yes sh, we should. Amy and i have been talking about something. People waste a lot of time without even knowing about it. Im going to Say Something that i do. Im going to be full disclosure. How many of you have wasted an entire night like i have just watching trailers and never has anyone else done that . [ applause ] in fact, im so bad my kids will say youve watched that trailer like three times now. Ours is exactly the opposite. Sitting on the couch and the girls will go through eight, nine, trailers, i say, just pick anything. Theyre not alone. Im not alone. According to a new study this is hilarious. We spend 19 minutes watching trailers before we actually pick something and if you look at that in its entirety how much time were wasting watching trailers, americans, by the way, spend 24 minutes. That was a global thing adding up to six days a year. Every single day. Just for something to watch. Im more focused. I sort of turn it on knowing theres something i want to watch. I get right to it. Sometimes when you dont know im guilty of that looking at trailers. I like parts of it. Yes, this is the one and the scene comes on and im like, nah, that aint it. If you spend 24 minutes on average, by the time you cut the commercials out of everything, the show is only 20 something minutes. Spend so much time doing it its time to go to bed. I cant even pick the the movie. We have a table divide here. We do. We do. One of those things, pick it, know it. And stick it. Behave. Your mom is here. That wasnt even me. Trust me, youll know. So i want to talk to about the word fiance. Whats your feeling on it . Do you like the word . Does it bother you . Its kind of elegant. It feels a little pompous. I bragging. This is my fiance. I like when you say fiance but when you say fiance, thats a little different. Makes sense. Fiance. Well, a lot of people are saying the New York Times article is saying many, many people in this generation are less concerned with labels and, in fact, consider the word to be exactly that, pompous and so theyre suggesting a new label is needed and so im wondering what would you this is the guy im going to marry. Partner or perhaps yeah, this is the man i love or this is the woman that i love. Sounds like youre not going to marry. I would agree with that. I dont know why but apparently sort the millennial generation its braggy. Its braggy, and outdated. This is my dude. Like what are you supposed to say . What other word is what is another word for fiance . Well, my betrothed. Thats even more pompous. My betrothed. No words are needed. I dont this is my lover. Ooh. I love that. Lover . Again, might not be getting married but how is it braggy. Does anyone a status thing. Look at my ring, this is my fiance. It all sounds so important. I dont know. Im just guessing. This says, please dont say look at my ring. That is part of what this generation just does not like. Theyre more of an understated i saw one where they said thats a good one. Thats a pretty good tip. If you are a man our advice to men from george and i because we think the same, george. Always. [ laughter ] always. You guys are like separated at birth. If you do get engaged and she is with you and you introduce her you better say fiancee. Do not change it. Dont worry about this article. Dont worry about that article. Michael, if i get engaged now im in that. Yeah, shes at an elevated level. She needs to feel it. When someone is at an elevated level so talented and this is im not bringing im bringing someone to the table, okay. This is not just someone, this is everybody. This is the star of pitch perfect, actress and singing sensation, Anna Kendrick, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] hello again. Mwah. Good to see you. [ cheers and applause ] thank you guys so much for having me. Oh, my god. This is so fancy. I really do. I feel like i can make some decisions. Go for it. Make sot news. I feel like this news in the new word for fiance is the guy im currently test driving. See, you say what i think. We too are separated at birth. Give me some cards. These are official. The cards make you feel official. These are facts im reading off a card. Its a fact. What is a fact is that you in the new movie the accountant and you play yes, great movie by the way. Thank you, one person. One person. Well, they havent even seen it. They must have seen a screening like i did. But it is you play an accountant in the movie but i heard your my mom is an accountant and i sent her the script. Its frowned upon. Because i was, like, you have to explain all of this to me. Shes like a math whiz and been working as an accountant, like, for her whole life and explaining all the financial aspects because its really kind of a puzzle and you dont have to like be a math whiz to follow the movie i thought i should kind of know what they mean and the second i was done, thats gone forever. Farewell. Thank you. But she was also excited because she theres all these like jokes about how account are pore borinboring, so are pore borinboring boring, soe was like, this is like a sexy accountant movie. It is like intrigue and like, you know, fights and its very exciting. Thats what i see when i go see my account apartment. Intrigue. In the movie your characters dad inspired her to be an accountant, pocket protector and all. Well take a look at a clip. I have a pocket protector. Thats a nice one. I mean his was dorky. But he convinced me to go into the field because i wanted to study art at the Art Institute of chicago, but art doesnt pay the mortgage. Art doesnt pay the mortgage, young lady. Dads tastes ran more to dogs playing poker. I like dogs playing poker. Wow. [ cheers and applause ] so awkward. I know. I know. Its such a serious movie. Its like theres action and theres all these elements, and of course, i come in and ill be derpy and awkward. Was it a fun part to play . I had so much fun because shes so like shes so open and she wants to connect so much and shes really bad at it and ben is playing someone who is on the autism spectrum and wants to connect too and like theyre both just going how like i feel like you dont like me and its so sweet. Before . I met him years ago at a party. Hi explain what a jonas brother was and then we ended up doing this movie together and i had such a great time. Although, he is a tall person. He is a large human being so there were definitely scenes where i was like dont stand near me. Like lets shoot across the room. Have a connection but were across the room. He was here yesterday as a matter of fact. He had some nice things to say about you. Thats very sweet. One thing he said you would sing and hum around the set all day long. I dont know why. Theup i okay, you caught me doing it literally like earlier today. You were like you were just singing. I was not how dare you. I guess i do it without noticing. What were you singing . I dont know. I sing my words like i i dont notice it. Yeah, like im constantly in a musical. Everybody hates me. Sing a conversation . No. Just by accident. Okay, yeah. Right. Okay, so, sing this out. You have i will not. But you have a new book your first book as a matter of fact called scrappy little nobody and wrote a book, yall. Its hard to write a book. It really is, but describe your book which may be even harder in three words. Oh. Scrappy. Funny, i hope. Funny, i hope. I like that. [ applause ] pretty good. And speaking of singing youve been traveling around with justin timberlake. I know. For your new movie. That dude will like 6 00 in the morning and doing sevennote riffs without even noticing. I was, like, showoff. We get it. Youre a huge dan. Y you an nsync fan growing up. I dont want to be another one of those girls i tried to resist it. Straight to the jonas brothers. Well, you know what, this movie is fantastic. I have seen it once. I want to see it again. As awkward as those clips seem, you, you, you and not you dont seem awkward at not and i love your description of fiance. I think everybody should take it to heart. You heard it here first. The movie is the accountant it hits theaters everywhere on october 14th. Anna kendrick, everybody. Coming up, shes been called the Martha Stewart of millennials. Grace bonney is here live.

Women like me rely on planned parenthood for checkups and cancer screenings, but congressman joe heck voted ten times to take away their funding. Heck even threatened to shut down the federal government to eliminate funding for planned parenthood. Shutting down the government. Taking away access to lifesaving care. Just to score political points. Women vote is responsible welcome back to gma. We talked a lot about the wind and, of course, the storm surge but we have to talk about the rain too. Flash flood watches now up from parts of georgia near savannah there up to even virginia beach. And those flash flood watches come along with the warning you can see up to a foot of rain. A lot of places in that half foot category. So youre seeing the rainfall possibilities there and a quick look at the track.

How do the two how do they go together . For me business and design have always gone hand in hand but primarily because i spent so many years talking about amazingly beautiful things but i found the people behind those things and their stories were so much more fascinating and inspiring and i wanted to collect a really diverse one place so everyone could go back to it and find their path to success. How did it feel when you recalled the Martha Stewart of the millennials. A little surreal. I want to be Martha Stewart. Dont we all . Yes. I want her shoe collection. Have you ever seen it .

But yes, but now shes taking on the big screen and the the of nat turner and in this scene he comes to see her while hes on the run. Take a look. I killed people everywhere for no reason at all but being black. They say the killing wont stop till they get you. I mean, that is a very powerful scene in the movie. And that camera is all on you. Just your face and how was it to see yourself on the big screen like that. Its pretty insane actually. Especially in a film like this one. You know, im used to watching how to get away with murder which is, you know, like this really fun show that we do, but seeing Something Like this being a part of telling a story that is so crucial to understand about our history as black people in this country is just its its just so necessary and such a very visceral way for me and im just so grateful i got to take on this part. Did it very well and armie hammer was here and we saw you on the auction block. That was your first day of filming. That was a heavy first day. Yeah. That was an extremely heavy day. I didnt know how that was going to be for me emotionally. Ive never portrayed this kind i hate saying character because she was a real she was a real person that, you know, was living and breathing on this earth and i wanted to honor her but that was reall there and do that and it feels humiliating and you understand immediately the kind of fear that these people lived through but i had to remember that this was her reality and shes stronger than i am and i had to let that kind of just enter me and allow that to exist on the screen. And this film won the sundance grand jury prize, had a record sale price. Theres a lot of oscar buzz about you, so accept it. Take it in. [ applause ] how do you feel about that . I mean, it is very nice when people say nice things but the thing that means the most to me is that people will see the film and that it will educate them about a part of our history that i didnt even know and im so embarrassed to say that and i hope they understand that we we have that kind of power inside of us and we can all access and tap into our greatness and walk in that. Well, you know what, youre walking in it the right way and ow cant wait to see you there but you can go see the birth of a nation. Its in theaters now and well be right back, everybody.
