hey kid on the home run. good morning, i'm richard liu. severe storm threat to look at a weekend of possible tornadoes in the bull's eye here again, the southern plains. 61 twisters there since wednesday. storms leaving one dead and dozens hurt. here's a storm chaser's close call. >> is storm is hitting me right no. i've got debris. i've got major debris. i hope this thing ain't i go big. oh, my god. we are getting hit so hard right now. >> the images from inside a storm shelter from oeng oak. bill is here with the timing of the new threat. incredible images. >> yeah, we have not had a joplin tornado. that possibility is there over the next couple of days. let me take you through the

weekend. we're watching a moderate risk. tornado were ali and it's day after day. it's called that for a reason. the threat is in oklahoma city area and dallas all the way back over to wichita, falls. a few strong tornados are possible. as we go throughout saturday, this is where we're watching from western kansas just over the i-35 quarter. hopefully if we get the big ones, they're out on the farmers field, and this is a pretty rural area and we hope that the farm towns avoid the worst scenario. now as far as sunday goes mother's day and severe weather begins to move to the east and st. louis and kansas and omaha at a risk. the worst of it is expected to be on saturday afternoon into the early evening. sunday is ice lated tornados but not as bad. >> we will see how that develops over the weekend.

what a story with tom brady. what do you think of that one. >> it's developing. there is nothing like the home crowd. but when things get rough. did you but tom brady proving thing may not be so rough for him. at a pep rally type atmosphere, he have asked about the deflategate report that reported the patriots more likely than not deflated footballs before the super bowl game. and that tom brady more probably than not knew about it. journalist gym gray talks to tom brady. >> what is your reaction, tom, to the ted wells report. >> who cares? >> i can't usually say those things. i don't have, really, any reaction. our owner commented on it yesterday. it's only been 30 hours so i haven't had much time to digest it fully. you about when i do i'll be sure to let you know how i feel about it. >> nbc spores sportscaster bob costas thistle face tough punishment from the nfl.

>> in the year the nfl has had, and the attacks on its and the attacks on its integrity and attacks on roger goodell for going too soft, if they are going soft or perceived as going soft on the glamor boy of the league and the super bowl champions there will be hell to pay. i think he will be suspended for the first game, the that thursday night game when the super bowl champions have the honor of hosting the first game. i think he will get at least a one game suspension. >> people in public life wind up becoming targets for various reasons. here is tom brady. a wealthy guy and married and four super bowls. i think some people want to take

a shoot atom brady because seems like his life is too perfect. >> on today's show john stewart said what a lot of fans are thinking. >> if you think i wouldn't chastise you while on my team, a new york giants uniform, if you think i wouldn't chastise you for that, that would be correct. >> so, imagine our congressional elections with five parties that decide who our president would be. that's like election day in the u.k., which just finished. votes are being counted. and incumbent prime minister david cameron sitting pretty. it's note final but early returns in exit polling indicate he will be back for another five years. his conservative party had a good day. from the british metro, cam's the man, and in the upper right, his eds on the block. that's ed miliband, cameron's

chief opponent. the left party leader. he will retain his seat but likely will not become prime minister. the daily mirror is not pleased. condemned again. five more damned years, it says. from the post, hallelujah, brittains vote for sanity. a bulletin was sent to local police warning them about one of the men who would open fires just hours later. nbc correspondent pete williams has more. >> reporter: just three hours before season's shooting attack in garland, texas, the fbi says it sent police there a secure electronic message with elton simpson's picture and car license number. the fbi says it acted as soon as it developed information that he was interested in going there but had no reason to believe he wanted to attack it or even that he left phoenix. and there is no indication, the fbi says that the officer who ended up shooting simpson and

soofi ever saw that bulletin. garland police decline to say what they did in response to the information. the fbi plot shows how much terrorism has changed. isis pushed out its messages onsome urging anyone who will listen to stage attacks wherever they are. fbi director james comey told reporters i know there are other elton simpsons out there. he says hundreds of people in the u.s., maybe thousands are following jihadist social media, and the fbi is equity having hundreds of potential home grown extremists with cases open in every state. it's a subject that has congress worried, too. >> isis is a large organization. it can afford to have 2,000 people who tweet 150 times every day. it can afford to have a ratio of, you know, two or three recruiters to every one potential recruit.

>> and the fbi's comber says discussions that start on twitter often go to encrypted forms that the government cannot read. >> pete williams reporting for us. alex rodriguez passed willie mason the call time home run list. taking on the o's, arod looking for the pitch. watch this. it's going, going, yeah, sorry. robbed by young, who snatches it. up and over the wall. attempt number two for a-rod arc little different. >> .231 average. takes that one in the air. that's hit hard. jones looking. and good-bye, home run. alex rodriguez, delivers the blow. >> that was a sweet one, home run number 661 for a-rod. the crowd summoned rodriguez for a curtain call. >> it was awkward. i certainly didn't want to stop the game.

and i saw tex in the batter's box. i looked at joe. he gave me the nod. i came back out and went back in. >> mays at second, with 660. a woman was trying to get child support but the dna test shows that he was only the father of one men. so medically two of the eggs were fertilized separately be each man. the one dad is paying $28 a week in child support. a mexican soldier was pulled 100 feet into the skpar holding

on for his life. he spins out of control and the riffle got tangled and he suchered a fraction. now a check of the weather with bill. we have a tropical storm, and that's the weather headline. with the tornados expected this weekend, it's not. it will make a so called land fall. it's moving over carolinas skpo so the carolina coastline will not have a good weekend and beach erosion and obviously the severe weather and we have snow in the mountains yesterday. that will kick off in the rockies and that leaves us with the cool and beautiful day.northwest,

this is where the warmer and beautiful weather is. more in the west than the southwest. looks like a nice weekend for mom and everyone in the west. >> hope so. just ahead ve day is commemorated on the end of world war ii. yet another example on why you should not share video of a crime on social media. you're watching "early today."
