40ish years off my life. >> one win away. >> one win away. all eyes on washington. special counsel robert mueller expected to bring down his first indictments this morning. we'll have more, much more on that ahead. first that dangerous storm lashing the east coast this morning. bringing hurricane-force wind gust, knocking out power across seven states. rob is in long beach, new york, where they're seeing flooding. good morning, rob. >> reporter: good morning, robin. it's been a rough night here in long beach. the winds have shifted but they're still blowing. rain is still coming down although letting up and waves still pounding this beach. the coastal flooding. this stop sign, the water almost all the way up to the top. we had that tropical collection in philippe adding heavy rains and hurricane-force winds to what's elie become a ferocious fall storm. torrential rain, flash flooding, and hurricane-force winds pummeling the east coast overnight. wind speeds reaching up to 82 miles per hour in rhode island. the gale so strong these ceiling tiles in a hotel almost giving way. and in new jersey, heavy rain giving way to flash flooding and high water rescues. this mother and son rescued by boat. >> it was in the front. it started getting -- it started rising and then i got in the back and then it started to just like flow out of the car. >> reporter: another driver narrowly escaping rapidly rising waters after his car was submerged. climbing out, his driver side window. >> i couldn't open from inside. i just put the window down and got out. >> reporter: and in florida, time to clean up after four tornadoes touched down sunday with tropical storm philippe. watch one of those twisters forming over west palm beach. and this storm hitting on the fifth anniversary of sandy which did major damage to the boardwalk i'm standing on rebuilt and reinforced with concrete. though it pales in comparison has wide-reaching impacts in eastern new england where we find abc's adrienne bankert live for us in boston. good morning, adrienne. >> reporter: good morning to you, too, rob. yes, of course, we've been seeing some wind gusts this morning but not like last night. we've been checking and across the northeast we've seen more than 200 cancellation, more than 100 delays. travelers rushing, calling in trying to get their flights changed. many airlines still issuing travel advisories and wind the major concern. in massachusetts, we've seen gusts as strong as 80 miles per hour. it was enough to blow you sideways and, of course, enough to down trees and power lines. currently at last check more than 1 million people across seven states without electricity. george, over to you. >> adrienne, thanks very much. let's get more on where this is headed from our chief meteorologist ginger zee. ginger. >> george, long island railroad, metro north, amtrak till this morning have delays because of video like this. power lines you can see on the track, trees down and those sparks flying. flames beginning there and what i wanted to show you now is the storm is not over. we actually are seeing some really heavy rains up through parts of new hampshire. flash flood warnings but look at this line about to come into new york city, believe me in about 20 to 30 minutes you'll look out that window. it will look a lot different. predator renkes with strong winds so it is far from over. about six to eight hours left and flood warnings that stretch back through western new york but even bigger deal as adrienne emphasized the wind, could see 30 to 40-mile-per-hour gusts this afternoon. >> all right, ginger. now to washington and that major development in the russia investigation. the first arrest could be made this morning. special counsel robert mueller seeks charges against at least one unidentified person and pierre thomas has the latest. good morning. >> reporter: that's right. we're expecting to see as early as today the first criminal charges filed in the special counsel's russia investigates. indictments could be made public by this afternoon with someone being arrested and charged. we're still waiting on the identity of the suspect or suspects and potential charges, but it's a dramatic moment and all of official washington is holding its breath with these potential charges, everyone involved will be put on notice that robert mueller's team is serious and this is no small matter and everyone will, of course, be looking to see if the potential charges connect to anyone in the president's circle, robin. >> we may not know who will be indicted but what has been the main focus of the investigation so far? >> reporter: what we know is that for the last five months mueller has been investigating whether the trump campaign or any of its associates colluded with the russians in the 2016 presidential election and investigating the finances of paul manafort and former national security adviser michael flynn and also been looking at possible obstruction of justice regarding the firing of former fbi director james comey. the president's attorneys say they have been cooperating with the special counsel and the president has nothing to hide. this is a big moment for mueller, former fbi director who was confirmed unanimously twice by the senate. everyone will be dissecting the who and why of this dime and whether it's significant, robin. >> we will, all right, thank you. let's get more from jon karl. jon, we heard pierre say the president's lawyers are saying he has absolutely nothing at all to hide but all week long especially yesterday the president doing his best to change the subject. >> reporter: he was on fire on twitter over the weekend, george. yesterday demanding to know why investigators aren't looking into the various things they could be looking at regarding hillary clinton. look at these two tweets, first, the iranian to russia deal -- the uranium to russia deal, the 33,000 plus deleted e-mails, the comey fix and so much more. instead they look at phony trump/russia collusion which doesn't exist. the dems are using this for evil politics. after this series of tweets went out and there were more of them, the president's attorney, ty cobb said this. quote, contrary to what many have suggested the president's comments today are unrelated to the activities of the special counsel to whom he continues to cooperate. now, george -- >> what does that mean? >> i don't know exactly what it would have been about. >> we've seen the president's lawyer out there right now but staffers inside the white house blindsided by this news late friday. they're as much in the dark as everybody else. >> reporter: this news broke first on cnn late friday. nobody at the white house had any idea anything was coming down, had gotten any notification, in fact, per the weekend i kept touching base and no notification i know of even to this moment as to what exactly is going to go down with the special counsel. >> everyone is waiting. jon karl, thanks very much. let's bring in dan abrams, also meghan mccain, co-host of "the view" and, dan, so much unknown right now, but when we find out who this person or persons is, it will reveal a lot about special counsel strategy. >> we expected this to be rolling from day one. meaning no one expected that suddenly you were going to get a whole list of people indicted in one day. it was going to be -- it was expected to be. that's the way it happens with independent counsels, it starts with one or two people. they move on and continue going as such. but the big question is going to be, do they use the typical federal prosecutor strategy, which is you start with the small fish, you go to the big fish. typically you try to put pressure on someone before you indict them to get them to turn and help you in the investigation. but if they don't help, then what you often do is you will indict them in the hope that that will send the message you either cooperate or you're going to be in big trouble. >> the reason they might not follow the normal strategy, it's complicated because the president has pardon power. >> when you read the president's tweets, right, and he's talking about this being a witch-hunt, et cetera, it sure sounds like he's saying, if someone is indicted here, it's going to be unfair. it's going to be something that needs to be fixed. and the president can fix it. the way he can fix it according to him is with a pardon. and so many of these people may be saying, i'm not willing to cooperate the way that someone ordinarily would because i have a feeling or i know that i'll get pardoned by the president and there are all sorts of question about federal and state law with regard to that but i think that's got to be something anyone is thinking about in the context of this. >> still with that, meghan, as we've been saying about the president tweeting, the firestorm as jon said and witch-hunt, the administration has to be concerned. >> they have to be concerned. and, again, it's going to push them off narrative. we're trying to talk about tax reform and tax cuts. has a big trip to china coming up but i think it's important when we talk about this, the core trump base of supporters thinks this is a deep state conspiracy that started with james comey. i have friends that are trump supporters talking to them all weekend. they think this is pretty much a nothing burger and when it came out with hillary clinton coming out she had ties to fusion gps and had connections and payments to this russian dossier, i'm telling you whatever mueller finally comes out and shows us better be pretty good because his 38% of hard core supporters, right now they're taking his side. >> right now they are and the president is feeding that with his tweets but the new polls out show he's at his all-time lows. >> i'm not telling you all things are wonderful in pleasantville but i'm saying his core base of supporters, there's been this internet conspiracy that this is the deep state trying to take him down. but he should be very concerned especially after everything happening last week with attacking the gold star mother, la david johnson's wife, that was very bad narrative going forward and i just -- i don't know. it just seems like this administration can't get out from under itself and no matter what happens can't get that legislative win so many of us want and heading into midterms. they're coming. >> right around the corner. we'll continue to talk about it and i'm sure you'll have a lively discussion on "the view" this morning. thanks so much. now to accusations against one of the most powerful actors in hollywood, kevin spacey, overnight the two-time academy award winner releasing a statement acknowledging allegations that he made a sexual advance on a minor decades ago and apologizing. amy robach is here with the latest details. good morning, amy. >> good morning to you, robin. this is all in the middle of the unfolding harvey weinstein scandal yet another actor coming forward, this time pointing the finger at kevin spacey about an encounter he says happened more than three decades ago. spacey apologizing overnight but also choosing this moment to publicly come out as gay. ♪ you're not alone >> reporter: overnight "rent" and "star trek: discovery" star telling buzzfeed that kevin spacey made a sexual advance towards him when he was 14. in 1986 when he and spacey were working on broadway, spacey then 26 years old invited rapp to a party at his apartment. and that at the end of the night after everyone else had left, tried to seduce him in his bedroom pressing into him but rapp says after a short period he was able to squirm away. >> we're survivors. >> reporter: spacey responding to rapp's allegations on twitter writing, he is a fan of rapp's work and that i honestly do not remember the encounter. i owe him the sincerest apology for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior. he also acknowledged publicly for the first time that he is gay. writing, as those closest to me in my life i have had relationships with both men and women. i have loved and had romantic encounters with men throughout my life and i choose now to live as a gay man. i want to deal with this honestly and openly and that starts with examining my own behavior. many on social media questioning whether this was the most appropriate time for spacey to acknowledge his sexuality. twitter user trayvon free wrote being gay is not an excuse for trying to molest children and wanda sykes saying, no, no, no. you do not get to choose to hide under the rainbow. and, yes, a lot of people criticizing spacey for choosing this moment to publicly come out. in his statement he says this story has encouraged me to address other things about my life adding i know that there are stories out there about me and that some have been fueled by the fact that i have been so protective of my privacy. so the timing of this, though, is raising a lot of eyebrows. >> yeah, the timing of it is because it's been, you know, thought for many -- he's joked about it. remember when he was at the tonys joking about it and to choose this time and so a lot of the headlines are about him coming out and not about the accusations against a minor. >> exactly and so that's where he's going to continue to draw a lot of criticism. >> this is cascading in so many different directions right now. >> it really is. as more fallout comes from this, we're going to hear from fashion designer donna karan. remember she had some really stark comments right after, very surprising so i sat down with her over the weekend. right now we'll turn to that mysterious death of a green beret back in june. two navy s.e.a.l.s now under investigation as authorities try to determine if they killed their fellow service member in the african nation of mali. abc's stephanie ramos at the pentagon with the latest. good morning, stephanie. >> reporter: george, good morning. it's been four months since u.s. army staff sergeant logan melgar was found dead in his room while deployed to the west african country of mali. melgar was a special operations engineer sergeant conducting training and counterterrorism migs part of a small group of u.s. military personnel working in bamako, mali's capital in support of the u.s. embassy. a u.s. official says melgar's death is being investigated at a homicide with two u.s. navy s.e.a.l.s at the center of the probe. they are part of the elite s.e.a.l. team 6. these teams are the navy's primary special operations force. they take on dangerous missions by sea, air and land and they go through intense, rigorous training and this is also the same unit that killed osama bin laden in pakistan back in 2011. now, initially the army launched an investigation in june when melgar was found dead in u.s. embassy housing but the navy's criminal investigative service took it over a month ago. the two navy s.e.a.l.s have not been charged just yet. back over to you, george. >> a lot of answers yet to come on that one, stephanie, thanks very much. now to that battle on the baseball field. the astros celebrating a major victory taking game five of the series, they are now just one win away from their first ever title. t.j. holmes is here, has the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, this was another epic slugfest between the two teams last fight but so much of the story line of the world series has been all the home run, a record number being hit. a theory is emerging about that and has everything to do with the baseballs being used in this world series putting the pitchers at a disadvantage. >> that's it. >> reporter: 22 and counting. >> another one. >> reporter: balls are flying out of the park at an historic rate and astros and dongs added another seven homers including thin that this one that seemed to explode upon landing. but for the pitchers serving up all those homers, it's a different story. >> i think the main complaint is the ball seemed a little bit different in the postseason and even from the postseason to the world series balls. they're a little slick. >> reporter: so why so many homers? one theory, slick baseballs. players and coves on both teams tell "sports illustrated" the baseballs are slicker than the ones used in the regular season. that makes it more difficult for some pitchers to command their signature pitch but major league baseball says the balls are made to the same standards as the regular season baseballs. the only difference is the gold stamping on the baseballs. everybody, okay, everybody is talking. if it's slicker, it makes it more difficult for some of them to throw their slider, signature pitch. you can't control. it won't dip as much. those hitters are good. they can spot it. off just a fraction, that thing is leaving the park. >> is that the ball you stole from the world series as year. >> no, i keep it in a special safe at home. >> thank you, t.j. >> you got it. now we have that cold behind the storm, look at this. smoke, they had snow, this is louisiana that is frost on a windshield. we have not seen frost in some areas in the northeast. look how far south frost advisories into the

"sopranos" actress annabella sciorra is speaking out describing a violent attack and one of weinstein's first accusers, rose mcgowan, now saying he offered her $1 million in hush money. >> the story continues to grow, guys. the incident involving annabella sciorra goes back to the 1990s when she says weinstein forced his way into her apartment and then raped her. sciorra says the alleged attack was so traumatizing she was afraid to speak up when the first set of accusers came forward a few weeks ago. >> tony. >> reporter: emmy nommed "sopranos" actress annabella sciorra. >> i don't want to argue with you. >> reporter: breaking her silence telling "the new yorker" that harvey weinstein violently raped her in the early 1990s and over the next several years sexually harassed her repeatedly. the actress saying weinstein forced his way into her new york apartment after a business dinner. he shoved me onto the bed and he got on top of me adding i kicked and i yelled but weinstein overpowered her. >> annabella sciorra carries profound trauma from this. she told me she still sleeps with a baseball bat by her bed. she's absolutely damaged by this and that also she feels she lost her career over it. >> reporter: weinstein currently believed to be holed up at this luxury arizona resort for treatment, a spokesperson last week telling abc news, he unequivocally denies any allegations of nonconsensual sex. and it looks like this may be far from over. in our interview with ronan he said there are a lot of women still struggling on whether to come forward or not. >> this particular allegation, if she chooses, could she -- could there be criminal charges. >> she absolutely could. here in the state of new york, to prosecute a class a felony rape in the first degree or aggravated sexual abuse which she certainly sounds like she's describing there is no statute of limitations so there could be charges if she decides to pursue them. >> we'll see what happens. you know, many were shocked to hear fashion designer donna karan's comments concerning the allegations against weinstein when they first were reported. she's now apologizing and addressing the criticism she faced for suggesting women who dress provocatively might be, quote, asking for trouble. she sat down with me over the weekend. >> first i wanted to say how sorry i am. you know, what i said is so wrong and not who i am. >> reporter: fashion designer donna karan apologetic for what many consider shocking and insensitive remarks she made during a red carpet event in the immediate aftermath of the harvey weinstein firestorm. when you said how do we display ourselves. how do we present ourselves as women? what are we asking? are we asking for it by presenting all the sensuality and sexuality? what did you mean by those comments at that time? >> that's the problem. i made a huge, huge mistake. >> when you say something about what they're asking by just presenting themselves the way they do, what are they asking for trouble? under what circumstances could a woman be asking for trouble? >> i love women. i absolutely adore women. i care about them. i'm a mother, i'm a grandmother. you know, and i've never done this before and i will never ever do it again. >> what were the circumstances at the time that would lead you to make those comments? >> i was exhausted. i had just come from a 14-hour plane trip. you know, i walked into a situation that i wasn't prepared for in any circumstances whatsoever. >> even though that you were very tired, some people would say for it to even be anywhere in your mind to think that much less say that. >> who is that woman? that's not the woman we know. >> yeah. >> that's not me. that is not me. what harvey did, what any man does is completely, completely unacceptable. >> did you realize the extent of these accusations against him? >> i heard a whisper but there were whispers all over. i mean, it's truly just a whisper. it wasn't till a day and a half after that i truly heard about it. that's my honest truth. i didn't know. >> you do not believe that these women bear any responsibility for these allegations. >> it is against -- it is against women's rights. i want women to feel like women and have that right. >> there will be some people who will say no more, they're not going to wear donna karan anymore and that your business and your brand is taking a beating because of this. how do you get across to people that that's not the reason why you're apologizing because you want to save your brand? >> it's not about my brand. the reason i started urban zen was because i did not want to just be a designer. it was about dressing and addressing the issues at hand in health care and education, in culture, you know, i want to bring us all together as a team to face the world that we're faced with today. >> and donna's memoir and something we discussed over the weekend was an incident she says happened when she was young and in a dentist's chair and called it her me too moment and that made what she said on the red carpet even more startling having experienced it herself. >> hard to believe it's only been three weeks since this broke yet the me too move many has been around for ten years. >> the activity who started it because of the underserved women, minority women who were being raped and making these allegations and nobody was saying anything and now -- but it's good that she is being recognized too for starting the me too movement and working with others. >> this does feel different now. >> it's gotten bigger and i think it's going to get even bigger. >> yeah. and tiran, who i'm talking about -- >> you're skeptical. >> i think we will start to see men pay the price for their actions. other men will be encouraged to speak up or not go down that path because we're seeing someone like harvey weinstein's life completely destroyed because of -- >> no, he's not the only one and not the only profession. it's not just hollywood we're seeing it across the board but it's going to take men and women. it's not just a women's issue. >> no, it's not. >> far from over. we're talking

jersey -- two teens dressed as bushes hiding in a local park. scaring people, folks, as they passed by and diane macedo, you have more. you were really talking about it this morning. >> we were, yes. because here's the thing, the teens say they just wanted to make people smile but now they could face criminal charges in this and the gist is simple. they look like swamp thing and hide in the bushes and when people walk by they jump by and scare them or stand up and say hi and people are looking to see why the bush is talking to them. now some people are loving it and think it's fun and creative. but the county does not think it's so funny. you know, the county is essentially it's all fun and games until someone falls and sues the county and they are also expressing concerns somebody could have a heart attack if they do get scared and so they're stepping up the number of officers patrolling the park and say if they catch these guys in action, they will be arrested. >> all right. >> for what? >> the worst thing happening in your town you're probably doing all right. >> what are the charges? >> one was trespassing and the other, i believe, was harassment. >> it's halloween. i'm with

>> reporter: again, this, we believe, is timed to financial dealings. you are required under federal law if you're acting as a foreign -- agent for a foreign government to notify federal officials of your activity. we know that manafort amended some of his records to indicate some work he had done. those cases aren't typically always prosecuted but in this case with the stakes being this high the man has been under incredible scrutiny and now he's going to place -- face pressure like he's never seen before. >> the first charges are in from special counsel robert mueller against campaign chair paul manafort and deputy and business partner rick gates. we'll have a lot more all day long. right now we'll return to our regular programming. for many of you that's "good morning america." >> announcer: this has been a special report from abc news. ♪ that one. this. ♪ ♪ ♪ ladies and gentleman this is a robbery. what are you doing after this?

>> i know. this is incredibly, incredibly rare, so rare there are in fact maybe 11 case reports in the world literature. most ob/gyns myself included will never see it. most have never heard of it. it has nothing to do with in vitro fertilization, it happened to be a coincidence so i want you to know better chance of being struck by lightning or winning the lottery than having this happen to you if you're a woman with a uterus. >> what's the medical reason this doesn't happen more often? >> well, we don't understand how this could possibly happen because to your question, when -- as soon as conception occurs there are processes that actually prevent the woman from releasing another egg. so in this case the babies are conceived at different times. they're usually a couple of days to a couple of weeks apart and as we heard in the piece, different eggs in this case different sperm but different in terms of the time line. >> any rhysing to the woman. >> you have the risk of multiple gestation, twins, the risks are predetermine delivery, usually the second baby will be born slightly premature and riches like high blood pressure, pre-eclampsia, anything you can see with twins or triplets. >> adding to the complexity of surrogacy at times. >> very complicated medically, legally, financially, emotionally and then you get these rare cases here but obviously very, very emotional. >> i would imagine you've heard of it. >> we've heard of it but it is literally so rare and this is where, again, the legal documentation, anyone going through surrogacy don't really have to worry about this but you have to have that legal documentation in place. >> good thing to keep in mind. thanks so much. george. >> we'll take a look at school bus safety. the majority of buses in america don't is seat belts even though they can save lives in an accident. abc's david kerley is in washington with a demonstration to show how well they can work. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, george. some dramatic evidence this morning of what can happen in a bus crash. you know, buses are designed to take a rather impact or front impact. the students should be contained in those padded seats but the demonstration we saw about a bus being hit here in the side, a side impact, that's a completely different scenario. the side of this school bus slammed by a semi truck. a test dummy flying out the window. "gma" is there for the first public school bus side impact demonstration to see what happens when six dummies have seat belts and four don't. while school buses with their high backed padded seats are designed to contain children in a front or rear impact collision, a rollover or side impact like the one we watched can send children flying. this woman's 6-year-old twins were on the bus when another t-boned them killing three. her sonsurvived but her daughter did not make it in it hurts. it's beyond hurt. there's not a word for it. >> reporter: her children's bus did not have seat belts. >> when it comes to safety for our children, what is the cost of a child's life? >> reporter: 22 cameras capturing this crash that we watched conducted by emi, one of the largest providers of school bus seat belts demonstrating the new seat which hits the market next year. >> there's been a lot of testing. >> reporter: this new seat meant to better protect kids with a sturdy frame but immi says the biggest safety feature, the three-point seatbells which they say can help prevent students from being tossed around. >> so high injury fatality type situation when you get a body slammed against a hard surface like that. >> reporter: after the knoxville crash and one last year in chattanooga, tennessee, which killed six children, many experts called for seat belts. the national transportation safety board investigated both crashes and says buses are still safer than students riding in cars. >> wouldn't you rather have every bus have shoulder bells in them. >> in we talk about these very severe yet rare crashes, if there could be seat belts on those school buses, then obviously that would improve the protection for those students. >> reporter: but there is no federal requirement and only six states mandate seat belts on all school buses. several more states are considering passing similar laws. nhtsa, the transportation agency which sets regulations declined an interview and says while not requiring belts it is working with local jurisdictions to advise on seat belt costs and on ways to ensure that after they're installed they're used properly. for a mother who lost a child, a hope this morning, that others will be spared her nightmare. >> our family is still broken. i am still broken. >> reporter: the last head of nhtsa broke with tradition and said seat belts should be in all new school buses. he told me that two years ago. there is not a nitze administrator right now. now there are six states that actually require seat belts, 29 others are considering bill, george, right now, no word on the fate of those bills and whether we'll see more seat belts in buss. >> this sure strengthens the case, thanks very much. let's go over to ginger. george, it is time for your a little smile and a laugh this morning. this morning we had so many great halloween photos come in. edward scissorhand. star wars family from corning new york. finally this is my favorite, be ross's happy little tree. that's the big picture, let's check closer to home. >> reporter: storm tracker 6 live double scan, we can see the rain over by the coast. we're drying out and waiting on sun, and we'll see that this morning and in through the afternoon. it's windy out there, a windy advisory until noon today. the exclusive accuweather seven-day forecast, we're going from the 40s up to the 50s today high of 56 degrees and that rain continuing to move off the coast. right now it's chilly, though as you first step outside. bawndle up a little -- bundle ue bit, it stays chilly this afternoon. jay z, oprah and nba stars flocking to his church and has a new book out called "own the moment." it is great to have carl here with us. so, wait, do you like being called the rock tar preacher? >> no, i don't. >> did i just defend you? i'm sorry. >> no, offended at all. it's just an honor to have anybody even care what we're doing so you can call me whatever you want. >> you have a disclaimer at the top of your book addressing the church's celebrity factor. why did you need to address that? >> the words celebrity means one that is celebrated so when people say do you have celebrities and we always say, well, we think everybody deserves to be celebrated but in the context of new york city, yeah, there are some people that are well known but i think 99.9% of our church is made up of really faithful amazing people that might not be well known. >> how many people flock to your church, did you say 19,000 to me in -- >> no, no, but i like that number. >> all right. >> i don't know, anywhere between 8,000, 10,000. >> okay, well, that's still pretty significant. one of the most well-known celebrity names attached to you and your church is justin bieber and, in fact -- >> who? >> yeah, his name is justin bieber. have you heard of him? he said he just wanted to love you more after he announced that he was canceling his tour. a lot of people have asked how much are you guiding justin and his decisions? did you have anything to do with that? >> well, he actually -- he wasn't talking about me. he was talking about god. he just wants to love god more. i don't think he even likes me sometime, justin. i think we don't have a hand in decisions like that. justin's a grown man and he made a decision based on the well-being of his soul which i think is awesome and my role in his life is to give him help and guidance when he needs it but he doesn't feed somebody making decisions for him. he made his own. >> sometimes he needs help at 2:00 in the morning, 4:00 in the morn. you write in your book about an unusual request he had for you to try to figure out how to baptize in the middle of new york city on a january opening or early morning? yeah, so we like many people who want to renew their faith get baptized but it's harder if you really are famous and getle toed around everywhere. >> and it's 2:00 in the morning. >> and it's 2:00 in the morning and ended up just finding an apartment in new york city, a friend of mine who has a giant bathtub and me and my friend judah and a couple other people had the coolest slash weirdest baptism ever but it was kind of indicative of what believe. you know, god is not interested in the place as much as he is the person and it was special. >> well, kr5r, thank you very much. you say you don't have to be christian to enjoy your book. >> no. >> and "own the moment" available tomorrow. you can see more of carl's story tonight on "nightline." we'll be right back. your "gma" moment brought to you by the frame from samsung. the most beautiful tv you've never seen. >> good morning, i'm tamala edwards, 8:27 a.m., monday october 30. this rainy morning is make i go it a tough commute for folks. let's go over to karen rogers. >> reporter: this is upper chichester, 322, the accident is off to the side. as i step aside you can see the police and a box truck creating a delay in delaware county, i-95 northbound. one of the big issues we have delays and cancellations. west trenton a cancellation there. an 85 minute delay on media/elwyn. 30 minute warminster line. 33 minutes on that train with the warminster line. west trenton 319, 19 minutes. westbound traffic is heavy coming into the city. a couple of accidents out there one in wayne on madson ford road. you want to watch for this accident at dekalb street. let's head outside to david murphy can you put the umbrella away, i don't see it. >> reporter: yeah, pretty much everywhere, most of the rain down the shore, light sprinkles at this point. as we look at temperatures it's chilly and windy advisory in effect until noon. we could have blustery gusts between now and then, otherwise it's dress for the chilly stuff. the exclusive accuweather seven-day forecast, 56 degrees sun coming back later on. sunny and cool on halloween, 58. 55 on wednesday and late day possible. >> time for fun on "g.m.a." as they get into books and movies and more. we'll see you in 30. getting a cancer diagnosis is difficult. getting an appointment to discuss your treatment options shouldn't be. meet with a ctca cancer specialist in philadelphia, in as little as 24 hours. learn more at cancercenter.com/appointment thunder lightning and the thunder ♪ ho is going to be sitting here?
