on the coast of ecuador. the president of ecuador says at least 246 are dead. many more are hurt. hundreds of buildings are destroyed. crews are searching for survivors. it hit last night, a magnitude 7.8, the strongest to hit ecuador since 1979. more than 135 aftershocks followed. we begin here tonight with manuel bojorquez. >> reporter: with the daylight residents saw for the first time the full extent of the damage. near the epicenter in the pacific town of pedernales rescuers dug through crumbled concrete only to find lifeless bodies. the quake also claimed lives about 85 miles south in the coastal city of manta where today, shaken residents surveyed the widespread damage. this desperate worker tried digging with his bare hands to find survivors. "three are alive and a girl is dead," he said. last night, onlookers cheered as this teenager was pulled from a

crushed hotel in the city. this appears to be the moment the quake hit. customers in this store in quito panicked as shock waves knocked items off the shelves and took out the electricity saturday night. people took refuge on the streets of the country's capital. quito resident remigio oña said he and his family escaped after the quake destroyed their house. "in a minute it all came crashing down," he said. as far as 150 miles south of the epicenter, the powerful quake caused buildings and roads in the city of guayaquil to collapse. >> uno, dos, tres! >> reporter: first responders searched for survivors after a highway overpass buckled flattening cars. ecuador deployed thousands of soldiers to help people like vanessa santos. she says her sister, sister-in- law and nephew were killed. >> it looks apocalyptic. >> reporter: american brian bayer is a freelance journalist in ecuador. his apartment building near

guyaquil was badly damaged when the quake hit. >> terror was my first emotion. i switched from a very casual mood to being in complete shock, very quickly, within seconds. >> reporter: tonight, the state department says so far there are no reports of u.s. citizens killed in ecuador but officials are working to confirm reports that americans were injured, jeff, two canadians are among the dead. >> reporter: manuel, thank you very much. in southern japan, there are still people missing after two powerful earthquakes killed at least 41 people late last week. the u.s. military is joining relief efforts. toyota and sony are shutting down factories in japan this week as the recovery continues. the road to the presidential nomination runs through new york on tuesday. a cbs news battleground tracker poll out today shows donald trump with a wide lead in his home-state. if it holds, trump would net the bulk of new york's delegates

and add to his overall lead. on the democratic side, our poll shows hillary clinton ten points ahead of bernie sanders. despite a recent losing streak clinton still holds a commanding lead in the delegate count. julianna goldman has more on this. >> reporter: hillary clinton and bernie sanders kicked their campaigns into high gear ahead of tuesday. even though he's trailing in new york, sanders isn't letting up. he's still hammering clinton for accepting lucrative speaking fees from wall street. >> maybe if you make $225,000 in an hour, you maybe don't know what it's like to live on 10 bucks an hour. >> reporter: the vermont senator wants clinton to release transcripts from those speeches, and she says she will, if every other candidate does the same. >> i'm just concerned about a constantly changing set of standards for everybody else but me. >> reporter: the democratic race is getting nastier by the day. last night sanders supporters protested outside clinton's fundraiser with george clooney.

but with her eye on the general election, clinton says she and donald trump can unite her party. >> looking at this great diverse crowd that represents brooklyn and new york, every one of us has been attacked by trump. >> it's crooked hilary, she's as crooked as they come. >> reporter: in addition to stepping up his attacks on clinton, trump continued his assault on the republican nominating process. >> the fact that you are taking all of these people out and wining them and dining them. nobody does that stuff better than me. i just don't want to do it because it is just not the right thing to do. we have a bad system and the system has to change. >> reporter: on sunday, r.n.c. chairman reince priebus said he won't be bullied by trump. >> i think i've done more tv in the last two weeks than i have in two years and it's because i'm not going to allow anyone to re-write the rules of our party. >> reporter: the republican national committee will meet next week in florida, but several members say they don't

want to consider any changes to the rule-making process before the july convention to avoid it looking like the r.n.c. is trying to sway the process. jeff, the latest cbs news battleground poll shows that more than half of republican voters in new york say their party's nominating process is unfair. >> glor: julianna thank you. let's bring in cbs news elections director, anthony salvanto. anthony for republicans in new york on tuesday what is the key? >> whether or not he can get over 50%. it's the size of the win that matters here because if he gets the bulk of the delegates in new york it would put him back on path to eventually get the nomination. >> glor: and that path leads out to california. >> yes many a win in california and subsequent states he still won't get that majorities of delegates until we get to california. >> glor: how do things look for the democrats in new york on tuesday?

>> hillary clinton keeps her lead. bernie sanders leads her on authenticity. she leads him in specificity about her policy and plans. that's propelling her. either way, the delegate map won't change much out of new york because both the winner are and loser are going to get delegates. >> glor: anthony, thank you. severe storms in the southern plains today followed heavy snow in the rockies this weekend. barry petersen is in denver. >> reporter: across the region sunday was not a day of rest, it was a day of working-- to clean up and shovel out. mike hillen is a fifth grade school teacher. were you surprised at how much snow you got? >> very surprised. it was a lot. this was probably 18 inches or so. >> very, very heavy. very, very wet. >> reporter: the worst of the storm now over, this was the chance to get the last of the cars out of ditches.

and the storm continued its swath of destruction elsewhere flooding the streets of altus, oklahoma saturday night, and spawning a number of tornadoes like this one saturday in kent county, texas. a mall in hays, kansas, remains closed after heavy rains caused a partial collapse of the roof. it was a good news day for air travelers. denver international airport is pretty much back to normal after hundreds were stranded saturday when more than 850 flights, 70% of daily operations, were cancelled. this is wet, heavy snow. it's really good for making snow balls and as for that storm it's on it's way to west texas. >> glor: barry petersen, thank you. for more on all of this, wbz chief meteorologist eric fisher is tracking the storms. eric, what's next? >> a lot of rain next 48 hours we're looking at texas and

mississippi, what that means is we're going to see some prodigious rain totals over the next couple of days. rain totals will continue through tonight, more showers and storms are going so develop during the day on tuesday. rain amounts, widespread 4 to 8 inches of rain. for parts central texas, southern oklahoma, could see isolated totals up to a foot. be prepared to take action. road closures certainly, flooded rivers, pretty dangerous situation into tonight. two severe storms, popping up as well, san antonio, with hail. tomorrow, the boston marathon, the 120th, warm one, beautiful day, high temps near 70° cooler, and in boston there will be thousands of people waiting. >> glor: eric fisher, thank you very much. security will be tight at tomorrow's running of the boston marathon, some of it invisible

to those running and watching. here's jeff pegues. >> reporter: on the eve of the marathon, the boston police department believes it is ready for anything and everything. officials say there is no credible or specific threat against the event. still, commissioner william evans is unwilling to let his guard down. >> no, you never can. to think what happened three years ago. who would ever think that boston would be a target, and the marathon. >> reporter: in 2013 dzhokhar and tamerlan tsarnaev detonated two pressure cooker bombs killing three and injuring more than 260 people. >> it's a memory i will always have in my mind because i had run that race and finished the race an hour before the bombs went off. and to go back there in my official capacity to see the damage done by those two individuals, its something i will never forget. >> reporter: boston police acknowledge that the marathon is a soft target. one million spectators there will be 5,000 police officers

lining the 26.2 mile route surveillance cameras and even sensors that can warn of drones which have been banned. massachusetts state police helicopters will be on patrol with infrared cameras which can detect a heat signature. you can zoom in on potential trouble spots even 600 feet up. in an underground emergency command bunker, the national guard, state police and federal agents share information and monitor online chatter. in the wake of the isis attacks in brussels, commissioner evans says there is more coordination with federal investigators than ever before. so brussels changed things? >> yeah. it did. it just sort of brought back a lot of emotions for what happened here almost three years ago now. but i think obviously, we need to stay focused on the race and make sure it goes off safely. >> reporter: the crowds typically get bigger the last

two miles of the race, and on top of that 40,000 fans are expected to take in a red sox game tomorrow afternoon and jeff, complicating the task for police they're expecting many of those fans to head here to the finish line as well. >> glor: jeff pegues, thanks. up next, the new crackdown on street-racing in southern california. and, refugees who escaped war and poverty find new careers in the kitchen, when the "cbs evening news" continues. my belly pain and constipation? i've heard it all. eat more fiber. flax seeds. yogurt. get moving. keep moving. i know! try laxatives. been there, done that. my chronic constipation keeps coming back. i know. tell me something i don't know.

deaths are not easy to tally because different agencies don't always report racing crashes the same way. but sergeant garcia says he's seen a sharp increase over the past several years. is social media egging this on? >> social media is definitely fueling this because it provides them an outlet to brag about what they are doing. >> reporter: garcia also points in part to movies like the fast and the furious series, and says racers in real life are becoming more violent. this video shows a street racing group attacking a police s.u.v. in l.a. earlier this month, as officers attempted to break up a race. >> we've been finding weapons inside their vehicles, loaded pistols. these events, they are not just for show either, they involve money. >> reporter: why do this now? >> we've been able to come up with a strategy that works, and we have an obligation to protect their quality of life and their safety and that's what we're here for. >> reporter: he hopes this new initiative will do exactly that. chris martinez, cbs news, los angeles.
