as a violent system brings high winds, massive hail. we want you to watch and thereon this. that is the downpour of tennis ball-sized hail in one backyard. we have team coverage this morning. bazi kanani is in the carolinas. we kick it off with rob in the threat zone in oklahoma right now. good morning, rob. >> reporter: good morning, paula. another day of storms. severe weather, and all aspects of severe weather. damage like this across oklahoma city. that's been prevalent. this was a motel that got banged up pretty bad in the slew of storms that have come through here. we've seen torrential flooding as well, across parts of oklahoma. yesterday and last night, across the southern plains, the storms came again. >> oh, there it goes. it's going. >> reporter: overnight, wild weather whipping through oklahoma and texas. hail the size of tennis balls pummeling oklahoma.

adds some energy and reinvigorates the atmosphere today. let's go through it. we have energy and storms to the south and west and that will only pop more as we go through time. there you see the swirl across the four corners. there's the core of the storm. it's been slow to move. that after the south and west of here. across the texas and oklahoma panhandles. as we go through the afternoon, we spread things out. it goes into texas. a core of it up through dodge city, western parts of oklahoma and kansas. we'll probably see large hail and maybe some strong, long-lived tornadoes. then tomorrow, we expend it and drive it off to the east. sunday, mother's day, looks pretty dangerous as well. you know, we have seen consecutive days here of severe weather. that is unusual for tornado alley. one of the reasons is, the weather pattern has been blocked because of what is happening off the east. the heat across the northeast

and tropical storm ana which has been stopped off the carolina coast. >> i want to talk about that. let's get more on ana. just before we came on the air, ana officially became a tropical storm. and hurricane season doesn't start for a month. bazi kanani is in myrtle beach, south carolina, where they're bracing. bazi, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, dan. we can definitely see out here that she is coming. the surf is kicking up. there are rip currents out there already much too dangerous for a swim. on what's a busy tourist weekend here in myrtle beach and much of the carolina coast. the rain is putting a damper on the plans as well. it's really moving in now. it's expected to be increasing throughout the day. the winds are picking up. we could see wind gusts up to 55 miles an hour. when tropical storm ana moves in by early sunday morning. so possibly some downed tree branches. minor flooding expected in the area. ana's early arrival, a warning shot, at least three weeks ahead of the typical start of the

atlantic hurricane season. paula? >> all right, bazi. thank you. and we want to move now to the big nfl headline and the scandal surrounding superstar quarterback tom brady. he and football fans everywhere they are anxiously awaiting if he'll be suspended by the nfl in the wake of the bombshell deflategate report. ryan smith has the story. the big question, ryan. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, paula. the nfl has told us that there has been no decision on deflategate and no timetable for one. the controversy continues to ensnare brady. he was all smiles in front of a hometown crowd on thursday when he answered questions about that deflategate report. this morning, the nfl telling abc news they have not made a decision on deflategate. >> touchdown. >> reporter: this, as new england patriots star quarterback tom brady broke his silence thursday. his first appearance since the report said the quarterback was generally aware of staffers' attempts to deflate game-day

footballs. >> is the super bowl tainted? should there be an asterisk? >> what do you guys think? [ crowd booing ] >> reporter: his response firing up pundits across the sports landscape. >> yo they're calling you a cheater. >> the coverup is worse than the crime. >> reporter: personalities for the patriots franchise still uncertain. though some say it's a possibility. >> we look at possible discipline, you're looking at a fine. potential of a suspension. potential of lost draft picks. >> reporter: the 243-page report seemingly implicated brady in the scandal, in part because of a flurry of text messages between two members of the equipment staff. jim mcnally, referring to himself as the deflator, asking co-worker john jastremski to get brady to pay up if he wanted the balls the way brady liked. mcnally saying, let's make a deal, come on. help the deflator.

>> is tom brady a cheater? >> i don't believe so. >> reporter: brady, denying cheating in january. and this week brady's agent, don yee, calling the report a significant and terrible disappointment. the nfl had no comment on brady's remarks. he said he hasn't digested the 243-page report. he said he usually reads xs and os. and that report was just a bit longer guys. >> you were in the room for that hearing, that event yesterday in boston. sounds like it was pretty enthuse yathsic crowd. >> he wouldn't let anybody in the room because it was more for fans. something you bought tickets to in advance. there were thousands outside in the parking lot. going blocks long, chanting for brady. >> a friendly audience. >> regardless it's hard not to like the guy. he's very affable. very likable. almost just like you, ryan. >> almost. >> and just like ron. and speaking of ron, ron joins us with the other stories. that we have been tracking overnight. good morning to you, paula and dan. ryan. good morning, everyone. we begin with a chain reaction crash on a busy

our newest correspondent, phillip ors are deciding whether to retry pedro hernandez. a judge declaring a mistrial on friday after just one juror says he could not aagree to convict the 54-year-old for the murder of a manhattan first grader 34 years ago. >> ultimately, i couldn't find enough evidence that was not circumstantial to convict. i couldn't get there. >> reporter: his fellow jurors expressing strong disagreement after a post trial press conference overnight. >> pedro hernandez, you know what you did. >> reporter: for 18 days, the jury was repeatedly sent back into deliberations. despite pedro hernandez confessing to police that he kidnapped and killed 6-year-old etan patz, who vanished on his way to school in 1979.

>> for me his confession was very bizarre. i felt like mental health issues were a huge part of the case. >> reporter: the defense arguing that his confession was coerced. a result of mental illness. patzs' father refused to believe it. >> this man did it. he said it. how many times does man have to confess before someone believes him? and it's not a hallucination. >> reporter: the decades old case helped change the way law enforcement searches for missing children. >> this case seemed to galvanize public opinion. >> reporter: ray kelly, new york's police commissioner when hernandez was arrested, was also with the department at the time of patz's disappearance. >> you say disappointed? i think that comes with the territory. >> reporter: etan's family says after all these years, they do have closure for their little boy's murder. but still no justice. no physical evidence tying pedro hernandez to the murder was ever found. now it's up to prosecutors to

decide bl they'll pursue a retrial. >> i feel for the father. it's got to be incredibly frustrated. on a different note, paula and i want to welcome you to abc news. happy to have you. >> happy to be here. i can't wait for all the exciting things to come. >> absolutely. >> welcome to weekend "good morning america." and to the abc family. >> thank you so much. >> we'll keep you hopping. now, we want to move to a terrible case of mistaken identity in which the cops shot the wrong person. a home invasion gone awry. the person who called the police wound up getting shot by the police. the crooks, meantime, got away. and the homeowner is now saying that he made a mistake. steve osunsami explains. >> he's inside my house. >> he is? okay. >> yes, hurry. please hurry. >> reporter: this morning, the 26-year-old on the line calling police for help remains hospitalized. shot by one of two sheriff deputies who answered his call who are both now suspended.

thank you for watching "gma" on a saturday morning. we really appreciate it. we hope to see you back here tomorrow. unfortunately, rob will be in oklahoma. we miss you, rob. >> miss you, rob. >> i'm eva pilgrim coming up next on "action news" saturday morning at 9:00 a.m., two people are returned to the hospital after a nasty wreck in camden county. after a foggy start to the morning, things will clear out. plus, we could be in for the warmest mother's day in two decades. those all next on "action news" saturday morning.

sometimes, caring for your neighbors means going the extra mile. when our patient, susan, mentioned her dad couldn't make it in to pearle vision to get his eyes checked... we went to him. and we realized, if he had trouble getting new glasses... he probably wasn't the only one. to us, eye care is about living dr. pearles legacy. building a trusting relationship with the person behind the eyes. this is genuine eye care right in your neighborhood. this is pearle vision. it's a money maker. i mean, i just feel like our children are paying the price for these high stakes tests and their teachers are

stressed out about it. so, teachers aren't benefiting. they're not getting information from these tests that are helpful for teaching. kids aren't benefiting because they don't even know what they got right or wrong. they just know that they feel really bad about it. parents aren't benefitting because i don't get any more information about my child. so the only people that could possibly be benefitting from this are corporations who are making the tests and selling the tests. i'm lynne abraham. when i became philadelphia's da, child victims had to face a judge ...a jury...the public... and testify eye to eye with their attackers. it wasn't right. so i got a constitutional amendment passed allowing children to testify remotely. i'm running for mayor for the same reason -- our children should come first. jim kenney and tony williams are fighting over public schools versus charters. i disagree. we have to improve education for all of our children.
