>> good morning, george, cynthia. it looks like the april fools' day storm on the nasty side of the joke but today and a good part of coastal areas like times square up to boston, we got the sweeter side. let's go to the "gma" radar. you can see how that storm is concentrating up in the northern mountain areas. in new york city, there will not be snow accumulation. to boston, however, it does look like a little bit of snowy mix involved here. the boston area could see 2 to 4 inches. portland, maine, could see 6 to 10 inches. the mountains of vermont and new hampshire could easily see a foot of snow. it looks like 25 to 35-mile-an-hour wind gusts. our linsey davis is in pittsfield, massachusetts, in the snow, snow. good morning, linsey. >> reporter: good morning, sam. who knew that mother nature was the practical joker. look at this. since then we've got an inch or two on the ground. this is a wet and heavy kind of snow, really good for power -- for making snowballs. not good for power lines. the good news is this is n

>> reporter: cynthia, this is my dosimeter. i wear it around here to pick up key levels of radiation while we're here and also to set off alerts in case there's a spike. that was a test, by the way. imagine working inside the reactors without one of these. the government requires them but it turns out many of the workers don't have them. international nuclear experts now believe melted fuel in reactor number one is causing a strong, uncontrolled chain reaction that occasionally creates a blue flash of light and a burst of heat while emitting still more radiation. it is not said to be a threat to the area at large but could be deadly for workers. the news comes from one worker in the plant who wanted to remain anonymous is now speaking out about safety concerns saying there aren't enough radiation detection devices to go around. he said workers are worried about their health. some workers called it quits and just left for home. my gut feeling is i want to get it over with and get out of here. today, we found former plant workers

cynthia. >> thank you, jeffrey. of course the morning papers are out. "the sun" sums it up best. the feeling "mum would be so proud." what are the two women in the young prince's life, his bride-to-be and his beloved mother. how to understand the mother's legacy for the bride. once upon a time, last november, to be precise, their very first public moments as an engaged couple, there was that ring. tying together the present and the past. >> very, very special. >> it's my mother's engagement ring. so, i thought it was quite nice. obviously she's not going to be around to share in the fun and excitement of it all. this is my way of keeping her sort of close to it all. >> reporter: in so many ways, she already is. at first glance, their stories seem similar. two beautiful young women marrying into the royal family, while the whole world watches. we remember diana as the people's princess. glamorous, outspoken and compassionate. qualities we see echoed in kate. but perhaps it's in their differences that we see diana's real legacy. >> he really chose the un-

>> cynthia, thank you. you tomorrow night. >>> coming up next, the majorer of "ace ventura," tom shadyac was a very rich man. so, what made him decide to give his life of wild luxury away? we used to bet who could get closest to the edge. took some crazy risks as a kid. but i was still over the edge with my cholesterol. anyone with high cholesterol may be at increased risk of heart attack. diet and exercise weren't enough for me. i stopped kidding myself. i've been eating healthier, exercising more, and now i'm also taking lipitor. if you've been kidding yourself about high cholesterol...stop. 80% of people who have had heart attacks have high cholesterol. lipitor is a cholesterol lowering medication, fda approved to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in patients who have heart disease or risk factors for heart disease. [ female announcer ] lipitor is not for everyone, including people with liver problems and women who are nursing, pregnant or may become pregnant. you need simple blood tests to chec

cynthia? >> john, in a word, is he running? or is he not? >> he's running for something, whether it's president or ratings. i don't think we really know. >> george? >> the last time he was on, i expressed a great deal of skepticism about his run. he called me immediately after the show and said, i'm going to prove you wrong. i said if you prove me wrong, come here and talk about it. >> there you go. >> we'll see if he comes. >> there you go. >>> now, to japan, where there's no relief from the crisis. the strongest aftershock yet, a 7.1 quake that knocked out power for many in hard-hit northern japan. even led to a tsunami warning yesterday. neal karlinsky joins us from tokyo. neal, you were right in the middle of it. >> reporter: george, we were rocking back and forth for a good, solid five minutes during this one. i was on the phone with colleagues in new york at the time. they could hear my building creaking and groaning under the strain of this quake. for people in japan, it's one more prob

cynthia had taken photographs but once the water ran out cynthia continued taking photographs and took a series of four in which she was rinsing off with a shower sprayer. she took -- she rinsed off her head, her neck and in the third photograph, it was obscured by the water. the showers prayer was not touching her. the last photograph was the same thing. those last two photographs that the prosecutor alleged was a child in a sexual act performing a sexual act. that was the second felony charge. when this hit the newspapers and it did big-time not only in that little town but beyond in the region in the cleveland late night news with these allegations. you can imagine the

cynthia bowers is in raleigh tonight. cynthia, there are so many people there who have lost everything. >> reporter: you know, that's true, katie. because behind all those big numbers you just gave out are lots of little ones-- countless personal stories of loss. in relatively well-to-do neighborhoods like this one and in parts of the state where people didn't have a lot to begin with and now have nothing. in the tiny town of micro, north carolina, population 537, nicole johnson is living a nightmare. >> i just started crying because everything we have is gone. >> that's the tornado. >> reporter: 11 of the 22 people who died in north carolina were from the rural northeast county, linda rafferty's in-laws were among them. >> i had a gut feeling when i couldn't get them on the phone and i knew how close it had hit. >> reporter: the stony brook mobile home park in raleigh was off limits again today, deemed too dangerous even for residents. three little boys ages nine, eight, and three, died in an instant saturday when a tree

cynthia was arrested on two felony charges. the first felony charge was a lawyer in ohio -- the ohio law said that you cannot take a photograph of a naked child. i saw someone's eyes go like this. that would make most of us felons; right? fortunately, the law had been constrained by the ohio supreme court and the u.s. supreme court. two cases where there was a lewd exhibition or graphic focus on the genitals. nudity alone wasn't the focus can be it had to be a nude exhibition. the second law was a law that prohibits the photographing of a child in a sexual performance. the photograph that is were taken were taken after they had been to a art gallery. there was one photograph of a woman in the bathtub rising up. nora asked if they could do that at home. she said yes. they filled it with bubble bath and nora had risen up from the water.
