has declared a state of emergency. entire tractor-trailers were seen flying across the sky. homes and buildings were destroyed. the severe weather watches aren't over yet. chief meteorologist doug kammerer has more on that. >> parts of northeast texas still under the gun from possible tornado. there are still tornado warnings in this area. and that line of severe weather now just off to the east of the dallas-ft. worth area. that is very good news for them. they can start to clean up. this is what happened around 3:30. two separate tornadoes coming through. one just to the west. one just to the east with a lot of damage around the area. jay gray is live right now, just outside of dallas with the latest. >> reporter: good evening. from storm-ravaged lancaster, texas, how devastating these tornadoes were. two cars pulled from across the street, thrown into this house. you can see the storm did its own damage as well. ripping apart this home.

amazingly, no one injured here. let's take a look at this devastating storm on tape. you can see the funnel cloud, a massive cloud that stayed on the ground for at least 15 minutes in the dallas-ft. worth area. one of potentially three quisters that moved across north texas. in this debris field you see several items, including semi trailers, 18-wheelers lifted hundreds of feet into the airplane. again, just showing the intensity, the magnitude of this storm, as it cut across neighborhoods. it cut across businesses. really leaving miles of destruction that many are just now getting a chance to get out and survey, once the storms have moved through the area. in the wake of these storms, the debris is, again, stretching for miles here, and it is devastating. some of the tractor-trailers that were damaged, now thrown and tossed about. and laying on the ground. and when you look at some of the neighborhoods, and take a look at some of the neighborhoods where this storm crossed, you can see again just a sea of

destruction. and these homes where people were spending their afternoons, right now, first responders still moving into some of these devastated areas, taking a look, making sure no one's trapped inside. and they're doing that across several neighborhoods in north texas. as we move back here, i can tell you that right now, a lot of people crediting the early warning sirens and some of the local television coverage during the afternoon with getting them to a safe place. that's the latest as they begin to assess the damage here in north texas. i'm jay gray. now back to you. >> of course, those meteorologists down there in the dallas-ft. worth area were on with continuous coverage around the area. i was watching some of that from our affiliate down at the nbc station there in dallas, doing a great job handling those tornadoes. numerous tornadoes on the ground at different times of the afternoon. so great job that they did. as far as our weather is concerned, clear skies right now. just fantastic weather. that storm will try to make its way towards the east. but i'll show you why it will not affect us in the same way.

the midwest battleground that some call must win. for rick santorum. but he trailed in pre-vote polls. >> i voted for romney. >> reporter: mitt romney campaigned with wisconsin congressman ryan. >> it's laughable. >> reporter: president obama charged republicans doubled down on radicalism. >> and proposed a budget so far to the right, it makes the contract with america look like the new deal. >> reporter: spending cuts so deep, the president claimed, they gut education, training, research. >> our infrastructure, it is a prescription for decline. >> reporter: he said he would cut spending, too, but less, and hike taxes on millionaires. >> i repeat what i've said before, that is not class warfare, that is not class envy, that is math. >> reporter: the math most on mitt romney's mind is delegate totals. romney fired back --

>> this is president unwilling to take responsible for his mistakes. and he's going to be looking everywhere he can to find someone else to blame. >> reporter: but the pressure is on romney. he's still got to win primaries and get delegates. while his opponent fires up the fall campaign. president leads romney 49 to 45 nationally in today's new gallup poll. the polls close here in d.c. and maryland at 8:00. we should get results from wisconsin after 9:00 eastern. doreen, back to you. >> steve handelsman, thank you. former vice president dick cheney is out of the hospital today, ten days after getting a heart transplant. cheney's daughter, liz, tweeted a picture of her parents soon after they returned home this morning. mr. cheney underwent the transplant surgery at a nova fairfax hospital in virginia. he received the heart from an anonymous donor after more than 20 months on the transplant waiting list. his spokeswoman released a statement today saying the former vice president and his

he's ever seen in his life. he, too, called the whole event exciting. >> oh, my. >> it's a sailing thing. >> it all seems exciting when you survive it. doug is back with more about the awful storms in texas and our weather, too. >> our weather's been really fantastic. we've dodged so many bullets. our weather has been very quiet. really the entire winter. moving right on into spring. we have not had much in the way of weather to talk about. down to the south, a different story today. we'll talk about that in just a second. first off, take a look outside. great weather continues here. plenty of sunshine. a picture-perfect afternoon here on the third day of april. high temperature today reached 72 degrees. most areas did see temperatures around that 70-degree mark. low this morning was 42. so a 30-degree temperature rise from early this morning, and many of you, we talked about you starting out in the 30s, but many of you were around freezing last night. there were some reports of some front out there.

look at this, this is an important number. 3.56 inches. so more than 3 1/2 inches below average for the rainfall for the year. so we really need to see some rain. that storm in texas would normally move our way. but not going to happen this time around. we'll talk about it in a minute. winds out of the north right now at 7 miles per hour. we're going to see those numbers fall very, very slowly this evening. so we're going to be talking about a fantastic evening to get out and about, do whatever you want to do outdoors tonight. eat dinner outside, looking good. 66 in gaithersburg right now. 75 in fredericksburg and 70 back to the west around winchester. we had some showers trying to move through. but as expected, they are quickly dying out. there are some storms, though, eastern kentucky and eastern portions of virginia. if you're traveling down i-81 tonight, you will run into some storms. the biggest storms, though, still out to the west. you've got the typical spring

storm with severe weather to the east. and snow back towards denver. denver today, six to ten inches of snow just to the south. they are dealing with winter here. but spring-like storms firing up around dallas. we've talked about those tornadoes. now we're looking at tornado warnings. numerous tornado warnings in the northeastern portions of texas as we make our way out and about later today. the storms that came through, this is right around 2:00 to 3:30 in the afternoon. one storm to the west around arlington and one to the east causing those tornadoes that we've seen all of that damage from. fortunately for us, our weather remains gorgeous. plenty of sunshine. that storm is going to try to make its way to the north. that storm will be forced down to the south. so that storm is not going to come anywhere close to us. we're going to see a chance for showers tomorrow. maybe a few isolated peeks and pokes of sunshine out there amongst the clouds. i do expect to see cloud cover during the day tomorrow. but not a bad day with temperatures above average by

about 10 to 15 degrees again. before we move into the day thursday. more clouds, and cooler air moving in for the day thursday. most of us should see some sunshine. but you can see the clouds just down to our south. thursday will be cooler. and that cooler air will settle in. tomorrow we go up, and then we go right back down. so temperaturewise we'll be a little bit on a roller coaster the next couple of days. a great evening tonight. nice and mild, 58 to 63 degrees. tomorrow afternoon, or rather tomorrow morning starting off on a nice mild note. temperatures about 10 to 15 degrees warmer than they were this morning. mostly cloudy. much warmer with the northwest winds at 5 to 10. tomorrow afternoon mostly cloudy. a few showers. but most of those will stay to the south. temperatures between 70 and 76 degrees. 60 on thursday. we'll be rather cool on friday. right now, sunday, easter sunday looking very good with a high of 70. i expect a very warm weekend. and then the potential there, you see next tuesday, a high only in the 50s. that pattern, our pattern is

going to change probably for the cooler as we make our way into next week. >> make the most of this nice weather while we can. >> you got that right. >> thank you, doug. coming up next on news4 at # clock, a salmonella outbreak in a bunch of states including maryland and d.c. why health experts think sushi might be involved. new developments in the trayvon martin case down in florida. she's a proud woman. she's 79 years old. she was the first female bus driver for metro. a two-time cancer survivor. down on her luck, she now finds herself out on the street. i'm pat collins. the story coming up.

some bad sushi might be the cause of an outbreak of salmonella that's now being investigated by the food and drug administration. that outbreak has made more than 90 people sick in 19 states. including maryland and the district of columbia. at least seven people were taken to hospitals. there have not been -- no one has died. investigators say it's still too early to tell exactly what happened. but they're focusing on spicy tuna rolls. this could get confusing. a test for drivers in virginia,

now they'll have to learn new names for three major roads. the department of transportation says it's actually a good thing. julie carey has details. >> reporter: for years, this busy road that cuts across fairfax county has been known as 7100. out with the old, in with the new. these signs will soon reintroduce the fairfax county parkway's new route number to drivers. >> take a while to get used to that, i suppose. >> reporter: the parkway is one of three major northern virginia roads getting new numbers as they are reclassified from secondary to primary roads. under federal rules, the numbers have to change from four digits to three. the fairfax county parkway becomes route 286. the franconia parkway 289 and prince william county parkway 294. >> the first thing motorists will see are new signs in the median showing the old new number and new number. >> reporter: to replace or modify all those signs will cost about $200,000.

but they say it's a change that will actually pay off in the end. primary roads get about 80% of their maintenance money from the federal government, saving state road dollars. the name change gets an eye roll from this fairfax county driver. can you imagine yourself starting to call it 286? >> no. it will probably still be fairfax county parkway or 7100. so irregardless of what the sign says. >> reporter: and her mother, who travels in from florida, worries the new numbers could get confusing. >> we come in on 7100. and to get to the kids' house. you know? it's going to confuse us by gps. >> reporter: and businesses near the parkways will have to adjust, too. changing online and printed directions leading to their location. in fairfax county, julie carey, news4. >> all the new and modified signs are supposed to be up by the end of the summer. a look at the headlines right now. reports of injuries are now starting to come in from texas in the wake of at least two

moved out west. this is a really terrible time for 79-year-old woman in d.c. her life is marked by moments in which she became metro's first female bus driver. she beat cancer twice. but as pat collins reports now, she now finds herself in a place she never thought she'd be. >> i knew i should have paid rent, because my mom always said, baby, pay your rent, if you don't pay nothing else. >> reporter: sarah owens is 79 years old. evicted today from her home at the mccullough canan land apartments. she's lived here since 1999. >> sure is. everything i've worked for is out here on the street. i tried some friends but nobody had money. >> reporter: miss owens, the first female bus driver for metro, she worked for the transit system for 25 years. she's a two-time cancer survivor. she said she used up all her money for alternative medicine.

they took it all out, and put it on the curb. her shelves, personal papers, bedside table, clothing, cabinets, sculptures, lamps, her record player, her television set. even her records. ray charles, sam cook, dinea washington. her sofa. the entire life of miss owens, all out on the street. >> i bought everything i got, because i worked and paid for it. >> reporter: these apartments are owned by the united house of prayer for all people. an old washington church founded by sweet daddy grace. no comment from the church on today's eviction. so what now for miss owens? well, she says she's going to find a truck, put her things in storage and then find a new place to live.

in northwest, i'm pat collins, news4. the fbi spoke with a friend of george zimmerman who shot and killed florida teenager trayvon martin. that friend told nbc news investigators did not ask whether he thought zimmerman is a racist. meantime, martin's family is asking the justice department to investigate the prosecutor who has recused himself from the case. they want to know why he didn't charge zimmerman with a crime. in our area today, a school held a prayer vigil and called for justice in the case. students and staff at the clinton christian school in prince george's county gathered outside the school this afternoon. most of them wearing hoodies, like the one trayvon martin was wearing the night he was killed. the students called for peace and healing for both the martin and zimmerman family. decision 2012 now. voters in maryland and the district have only an hour and a half left to cast their ballots in the presidential primary.

i agree with. >> reporter: his republican challengers include state senator david brinkley, kathy absoly, robert koeblands, peter james -- >> i'm for brandon because i've known him a long time. i think he's a great candidate. >> reporter: the state legislator change the the sixth district map dropping conservative areas and adding democratic voters here in western montgomery county. some feel the map was drawn so state senator rob garagiola would win the seat in the u.s. congress. he's endorsed by o'malley and known by the voters in germantown. >> rob is the current state majority leader in the state house. and he has experience as opposed to an inexperienced businessman who is running against him. >> reporter: gar ji ol a has received stiff competition. >> yes, delaney.

>> why? >> because i think he's a fresh new person, and i think that he would do a good job for us. >> reporter: the other democratic hopefuls in the primary are charles bailey, ron little and pullon. no matter who the democratic and republican candidates turn out to be, it is anticipated that this will be the most hotly contested congressional race in this fall's general election. in germantown, maryland, chris jordan, news4. >> stay tuned to news4 and nbcwashington.com. we'll have the election results tonight on news4 at 11:00. coming up next tonight, we'll hear from two local singers on "the voice." they performed live last night. the mega
