there was a huge thunderstorm. sideways rain and a possible tornado. dave price joining us this morning in queens and forest hills, new york, where the storm hit the hardest with the latest this morning. talk about some destruction, dave. >> erica, you know, typically with this weather like this happens, we thohead in a plane southwest and new york city where we are in our backyard. this is queens, new york. if you are not from this area, a few miles from manhattan and a few miles from laguardia airport. and in this park, downed trees, debris everywhere. and this is just emblem attic of what you are seeing across several boroughs of new york city. storms like this particularly dangerous in urban areas. still to be determined whether it was an official tornado. but new york city and the northeast have had their share of weird weather from blistering heat to extreme cold and snow and now this.

wild weather rolled across the northeast thursday, striking hard in new york city. over a thousand miles from tornado alley. tearing off roofs with reported wind gusts of over 100 miles per hour. >> it lookeddoomsday. it made it like midnight. >> reporter: tornado warnings in three of the five boroughs just after 5:00 p.m. the fury lasted minutes after bolts of lightning lit up the statue of liberty and the surrounding city. >> one of those thing that is while it may be an about of god doesn't make it easier for us. >> reporter: there were scattered reports of a funnel cloud touching the ground. investigators will determine if it was an official tornado or not. >> wow. >> reporter: there have been six in the big apple in the last 40 years. home videos posted online within minutes showed dramatic weather that downed power lined, uprooted gigantic trees and smashed windows. >> it was thundering, lights were going crazy. the shingles on the house were flying down.

>> reporter: one confirmed fatality, a woman killed when the car was crushed by a falling tree. she pulled over to the side of the road to wait for the storm to pass. early evening tornado warnings posted in central ohio. the wooster campus of the nation's largest agriculture research center was littered with shattered glass, broken concrete and splintered trees. tens of thousands of people still without power throughout new york city's five boroughs. long island and new jersey and more violent weather about to roll into sections of the midwest where all of this came from. now to our other big story. we go out and look at igor. now moving in a northwest direction. it was a west-northwesterly moving storm. 760 miles south-southeast of bermuda. winds 125 miles per hour. it is a powerful category 3 storm. tropical storm force winds extend 290 miles from the storm's center and hurricane winds a full 105 miles. this is dangerous. it's big and it's headed towards

bermuda making landfall sunday night into monday morning. we are guessing 10:00 p.m. to about 2:00 a.m. to watch that storm, as well. a lot going on in the weather world. back do you in the studio. >> dave price in queens, thanks. >> thanks, dave. now to politics. two more republicans endorsed by sarah palin were big winners in this week's primaries as palin campaigns this week, speculation is growing that the former gop vice presidential candidate wants to be on the top of the ticket in 2012. cbs news national correspondent dean reynolds is in des moines with more. good morning, dean. >> reporter: good morning, harry. well, you're right about that speculation. and sarah palin's appearance in des moines tonight caps off a week during which her political clout on display for all to see. for those that like her and those that don't. her appearance in kentucky on thursday was vintage palin. >> take it back. we can take back our country. and we're going to turn things around. >> reporter: she was campaigning

for republican hopeful rand paul. one of the tea party insurgents she's endorsed. sometimes to the chagrin of gop regulars who worry they're too extreme, unelectable or both. it's a reaction she apparently relishes. >> the hierarchy and, you know, they're not liking this. >> reporter: tonight, palin comes to iowa which holds the first presidential caucus in 2012. is she setting the table for a presidential campaign? >> we're fortunate to have her because she energizes iowa republicans at all levels. >> reporter: democratic strategists say the more sarah the better for them. >> the very best organizer of the democratic spaert going to be here in iowa. sarah palin. >> reporter: indeed, our latest polling shows the number of americans viewing her unfavorably has been rising along with her visibility. now, sarah palin isn't saying anything about her long-term plans. but as they say in political

circles here in iowa, nobody comes to this state by accident. dean reynolds, cbs news, des moines. we want to bring in chief washington correspondent and host of "face the nation" bob schieffer. good morning, bob. >> good morning to you, harry. >> can one appearance in iowa constitute the beginning of a presidential campaign? >> well, it might. there's no question about it but, you know, what is really bothering the establishment republicans right now is what happened to republicans back in 1964. you know, they had almost won in 1960 when nixon ran against kennedy. the next -- the next time around, 1964, republicans threw out all the establishment people, all the leaders of their party and nominated barry goldwater. as i have said many times, a very good man and someone far to the right of the mainstream of the republican party. they'd lost in a landslide.

same thing happened to democrats in 1972. they threw out all the establishment candidate -- people, leaders in their party, big city mayors like dick daly and nominated a very good man, george mcgovern, but someone far to the left of the mainstream of their party and they lost in a landslide and that's what's bothering the establishment republicans right now, they're worried are they headed to something like that in 2012? >> take a right -- take to the edge of the abyss, as it were. but that becomes the question. if you're the republicans, how do you -- because who's undeniable is passion and motivation of the supporters of the tea party folks. if you're the republicans srks there an a way to harness the energy? >> you're right. these people are committed. a lot of tea party folks are not republicans. they didn't -- you know, they're anti-tax. they're very, very conservative.

they tend to be older. in midterm elections, you don't have young people turning out very much to vote and they were a powerful force. mine, there's absolutely no question about it. sarah palin's endorsement meant a great deal to those particular people. but how is this going to play in november? and that's -- that's what they're all grappling with. how do you keep the enthusiasm but in the same time appeal to the people in the middle, the independents, who in the end are always the ones who decide the election. >> it is all about the middle. it is an interesting dichotomy because as sarah palin's negatives continue to go up, everything she touched turns to gold. o'donnell in delaware. two weeks ago, was not given a snowball's chance in you know what. and she ends up running rough shod over the republican candidate. >> you know, harry, it all goes back to the economy. once again, i mean, you saw the figures. one person in seven in this country is now living in

poverty. people are still unemployed. people are still looking for work. what you're seeing is the fraus tradition that just sort of permeates all of our politics right now. and you're seeing in these tea party folks kind of the right end of all of that. >> all right. >> and it all comes from that. if the economy gets a little bit better, i think you will see a lot of things change in this equation. but so far, it's not getting better. >> could be the ice tea party. bob schieffer in washington this morning, as always, we appreciate your time. and remember, watch the interview with former president clinton on "face the nation" this sunday morning here on cbs. we do want to get you a look at the other stories following for you this morning. jeff glor has those. >> good morning to you at home. it is the second day of the pope's historic visit to great britain. meantime, police broke up an alleged plot on the pope's life arresting a group of five men

just before dawn this morning. cbs news correspondent mark phillips has more on the pope's day. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, jeff. well, this is, in fact, turning out to be more than a papal visit. it is turning into a test of getting the message across over the background noise of the church's child abuse scandal and that test gets harder as time goes on. pope benedict brought his message to the classroom visiting a catholic school in london. he has an ironic challenge. bemoaning the weakening religion in every day life and the church's own public struggle with the child molesting priests helping to drive people away. >> the life of face can be effective when it's nurturing when the atmosphere is one of respectful and affectionate

trust. >> reporter: pope benedict proved on this trip that he can still draw a crowd. yet, impressive though the 65,000-strong open air mass in scotland was yesterday, it was only about a quarter of the size of the crowd pope john paul drew to the same park on his visit 28 years ago. ♪ and this crowd had a much better warm-up act. the former scottish choir girl turned star and internet sensation susan boyle who sang a medially of her hits. ♪ this is been billed as pope benedi benedict's most political day of the visit. meets with the archbishop and gives a speech to british parliamentarians and also the protesters against child abuse, for gay rights and other issues, promise to follow him wherever he goes. jeff? >> all right. mark phillips this morning, thank you very much. the poverty rate in the united states as bob schieffer

climbed last year. the census bureau says 44 million people now or 1 in 7 americans now live below the poverty line. mississippi with the highest share of poor people. new hampshire the lowest. and number of americans without health care was also higher by 16.7%. this morning wall street critic elizabeth warren said she's accepted the president's job offer to create a consumer protection bureau. and the blownout oil well in the gulf of mexico could be plugged once and all by this sunday. a relief well was connected last night. now cement and mud can be pumped into the damaged well to seal it from the bottom. it's been nearly five months since the explosion and leak that spilled an estimated 200 million gallons of oil into the gulf. and 13 minutes after the hour, let's go back to dave price in queens. it's really nasty weather last night. dave, good morning. >> good morning to you, jeff. investigators are going to be out looking at the debris field,

seeing how all of these trees fell in what direction to determine if it was a tornado. it certainly is some significant damage, though. talk about the rest of the country right now. see what's happening all over the u.s. in the northwest, you will see scattered showers, cool and breezy conditions. warmer inland. southwest warmer. northern plains, some sun,

>> that's a quick that's a quick look at your weather from queens, new york. erica, back to you in the studio. >> dave, thanks. we want to get you the latest on the brutal home invasion trial in connecticut. yesterday was another emotional day for jurors. cbs news correspondent betty nguyen is here with the latest. you were in the courtroom yesterday. it's heart wrenching. >> it is. good morning. the jury take on a disturbing journey inside the house where the murders took place and a lot of evidence centered around how the horrible attack occurred. jurors on thursday saw the photos showing the aftermath of the horrific home invasion that left jennifer hawke-petit and daughters haley and michaela dead. that followed a week of chill i video of jennifer's last minutes alive. and grueling testimony of william petit, the lone survivor. >> we have a lot of support. like to thank friends and people

from all over the state and the country for their notes and texts and e-mails. they've been very supportive. >> reporter: petit addressed reporters outside court. >> we're happy with the way the prosecution is presenting its case and things are moving along at a reasonable pace. >> reporter: the prosecution's case turned to photographs of the petit's torched home that told the tale of torture and murder. cynthia is jennifer's sister. >> we have lived with this for over three years and we did walk through the house a long time ago so those images really stay in your mind even though they wish they could leave. >> reporter: pictures of fire ravaged bedrooms, cords still tied to bed posts that prosecutors say were used to restrain the petit daughters, both girls died of smoke inhalation. >> what that does is really put a picture in the jury's head of the horror and the tragedy, the fear and the anguish the victims must have felt in their final moments. >> reporter: and jurors saw this baseball bat which prosecutors

say defendant steven hayes and partner joshua komisarjevsky used to beat dr. petit. the defense revealed that hayes suffered seizures wednesday night. >> they're trying to present him as a person capable of emotions. perhaps if they can humanize him to this jury they will later be rewarded by a life sentence instead of the death penalty. >> reporter: hayes agreed to plead guilty in exchange for that life sentence but prosecutors want the death penalty. the judge dismissed the jurors after lunch because of hayes' physical condition. the trial resumes on monday. erica? >> so tough to hear. >> difficult. >> thanks. still ahead this morning, why did she do it? a woman who said she was attacked byes a it in her face, well, now admitting it was all a hoax. self inflicted. we'll get reaction from another acid attack victim. it's a surprise visitor for jfrds.

this. >> it was the most painful thing. >> reporter: but the story became even more painful four days later in what may be a copycat crime, 41-year-old derri velarde getting out of a car at an arizona home when a woman threw a glass of acid at her. she told "the early show" about her experience last week. >> took seconds, probably milliseconds to start burning and, yeah, i felt like my skin just on fire and it just felt deep and intense and it was awful. >> reporter: she was left with severe burns on her face, neck and back and seemed like two vicious attacks but now bethany storro said she made the story up telling police thursday she did it to herself. >> during the interview, miss storro admitted that the injuries were self inflicted. >> reporter: police say in the investigation the story wasn't adding up. the 28-year-old then told them

it right now. there are probably pending charges based on the actions of bethany that prevent us from doing that. is there a motive? i'm sure there is and one can only wonder what her state of mind is. >> do you know what it was that made her decide to own up to this, to admit it? >> really, from the very beginning, her story had a lot of holes and red flags ands a we developed more and more information, it was very clear that this was probably a self-inflicted act, and that we actually executed a search warrant at her home yesterday morning and retrieved several pieces of evidence. at the condition collusion of that, she spoke with the detectives and eventually owned up to the fact this was actually something she had done herself. >> was there any acid or any product that could have been used on her found in the home? >> we did not discover that at the home, no. >> do you think that her family knew about this at all? >> based on the reactions, no, i

really don't think so. at this point, they're very concerned for bethany and they appear very devastated. >> i can imagine. you mentioned that there are likely to be charges in this case. what could some of those charges -- what sort of charges i say could bethany storro be facing? >> basic charge would be false reporting. it could go depending on whether she accessed the funds from the fund-raisers, any of the financial aspect of this, could go all the way up to felony charges on fraud. >> i know that you are working with get some of that money back donated. commander shoeman, thank you for the details and facts on this. derri velarde you joined us about a week ago. you were attacked outside of your home. a woman threw acid on your and you thought it coup could be a copycat attack and hear she did it to herself and made up the story. when's your reaction? >> yeah.

oh, my initial reaction was it just couldn't be possible. you know? i thought, no, that's got to be some -- you know, rumor out there or something but i just thought -- i can't imagine someone doing this to themselves and so i was -- it was just so upsetting. i literally got physically ill when i heard that and i thought that was a possibility. >> and when we last spoke, you were thinking about perhaps reaching out to her. you had both gone through the terrible experience. >> yes. >> is she still someone you want to talk to? >> you know, to be honest, no. i originally did want to reach out to her. i said, i wonder if there's any way i can. it happened to her, as well. we have like that common bond, obviously, is how i felt in the beginning and heard about her from the hospital bed having just had this previously happen to her so i felt like i -- you know, there was a connection there and someone asked me did i feel betrayed or -- i said,
