sam adams had never done that. before hutchinson died, he wrote these words: i am sometimes tempted to endeavor to forget that i am an american and to turn my views from my native -- to turn my views to what remains of life in the england. but my passion for my native country returns, and though i know not how to reason upon it, i feel a fondness to lay my bones in my native american soil. justice peter oliver, also from an old american family, also fled to england and lies buried there. george washington and other respected american leaders across the country condemned the boston tea partiers as vandals, and they might well have ended in jails and faded into obscurity had the british government not responded so rashly and so violently by sending troops back to boston. by quartering troops in private homes of loyalists as well as rebels, the british military command seemed to declare war against all americans, and that provoked almost the entire massachusetts citizenry into open rebellion. lexington followed with a

back out to sam and the weather. hi, sam. >>> hey, george, we did have sleet in times square a moment ago. it's going to be off and on in new york city, areas like that. let's show you the system how it moves through northern new england. remember, this is the one all week long, people were a little afraid of, that when it developed it would become this nasty april fools' day storm. the snow will go exactly where people want it, in ski areas of new england. here's the problem with the winds. but the gusty winds will kick up a little bit as the snow strengthens and winds up 20 to 40-mile-an-hour wind gusts likely. a look at the big board. we'll show you that we have a couple of areas of concern in flooding. the northwest with all that pineapple express rain you that's moving through there the past couple of weeks, a concern for mud slides there. minneapolis, fargo, we're still watching all the rivers in that area running pretty high starting next week, well, they already are. and it's drier all through the deep south.

hello tonight from london, sam. >> reporter: good evening, diane. and to find out how powerful a tornado is, the weather service actually combs through the debris. because each tornado level has a distinctive damage pattern. and an ef-5, the destruction isn't where -- the debris, actually, snts wheisn't where t was. the debris is miles and miles away. >> tornado behind us. >> reporter: wednesday's ef-5 with winds over 205 miles per hour was a horrifying image moving across the mississippi countryside. an ef-5 is the most powerful storm on earth. watch how this one from 2008 shreds a home in a matter of seconds. and decimates the inside of a bank. >> it's an extremely rare tornado. we typically see years go by before another one is reported. >> reporter: but in wednesday's outbreak, there may have been more than one. to be an ef-5, winds must exceed 200 miles per hour. category 5 hurricanes can reach that speed, too, but the damage from one of these tornadoes can be much worse. hurricane winds tend to be strongest above the surface. a twister's stren

bring some back, sam.a story we first told you about here on "gma." about a woman who took a stand against the largest dating website. she filed a lawsuit against match.com, seeking to require its to screen its members against the national sex offender registry. match.com has now announced plans to begin doing just that. the woman who filed the suit anonymously is coming forward this morning. we're going to speak to her in a moment. you're going to meet her. first, more of her story. >> you know, never in my wildest dreams did i think i was going out with a criminal. >> reporter: when we first met her on "gma," she was afraid to show her face. but not afraid to tell us about her second date with this man, alan wurtzle, who she met on match.com. >> i got out of the car. and he got out of his side. and he followed me into the building. went up the elevator. we walked in the front door. i hoped the door. and then, he went straight into the bathroom. and came out of the bathroom. and he jumped me. >> reporter:

hey, sam. >> good morning, everybody. let's deal with that -- we're going to show you some pictures of storm damage in florida. remember, monday night's storm, the biggest severe weather outbreak we've had in more than ten years. as it shut down in a lot of places, it kept rolling through florida. a lot of wind damage in that area. here's some early-morning, chilly air that moves into the deep south will be recovered by good sunshine today. new orleans comes in at about 75 today. but really warming up over the next few. 80, 84 degrees atlanta. to the 70s. memphis, to the 80s. it's chilly if a lot of parts of the south this morning. but you'll recover beautifully by afternoon. another storm system. if we looked at march in the northwest, it was really only dry about four days. and every day this month, they've picked up rain. it's just been one series of systems, just parked up there in the northwest. they get more rain today. more than an inch and a half or two inches of possible in that line that goes south of seattle to

if they don't file by then to ask for their money back, uncle sam gets to keep it. forever. why on earth wouldn't people file returns if they had money coming back? maybe they forgot. maybe they didn't know they were supposed to file. maybe they missed the deadline and were afraid to come forward for fear of being in trouble. an important reminder here: there's no penalty for filing late if the i.r.s. owes you a refund. now, i doubt if many "nightly business report" viewers are in this boat. but what about your kids? did johnny have a lifeguard job in the summer of '07 and not realize he needed to file to retrieve the income tax withheld from his checks? or your elderly parents or grandparents? was money withheld from a lump- sum payment from a retirement plan that was really tax-free because it was rolled into an i.r.a.? whatever the reason, they stand to lose several hundred, or maybe several thousand, dollars each if they don't file that 2007 return by midnight, april 18. if you know someone at risk, check out the i.r.s. website, www.irs.gov, for details on how to get tha

and our weather editor sam champion is with us now. sam, what are the experts saying about this tonight? >> reporter: diane, it's a frightening example of when everything aligns just right. for a once in a 100 year event. let me show you all the ingredients we're talking about. right here on the screen, all that warm, moist air from the gulf. the temperatures in the south had been in the 80s for almost two weeks. an unusually strong push of cold air dropping through the middle of the country and a jet stream that, boom, is running 150 miles an hour right over this. that's important, because the west winds of the jet stream, the south winds at the base of the storm create a twist or turn and that's perfect for development of tornadoes. right behind that, everybody is asking if climate change played a role here. all winter long, we've been talking about the fact that the leaky arctic fence, that cold polar air, the melting sea ice. the thing is, there's no effort to study what that looks like on climate change. compared to severe weather

next you think sam would get out of owning private businesses. start with freddie mac and fannie mae. [applause] >> these failed mortgage monstrosities would be put on an auction block and sold to the highest bidder. minimum bid 50 cents. [laughter] >> and congress would sell government share in aig, the largest insurance company in america, as well as chrysler and g.m., bank of america and sti bank. it's time to get out of the private industry. you think stam sam would then end the government's involvement in -- all the expensive tentacles would be repealed and in its place congress would allow americans to purchase any health insurance policy they wanted in any state they want with no minimum mandatory dates using your own tax-free dollars, fully allowing all americans to de duct their costs on their individual tax returns and full tort reform. that's it. you can get that done in about 18 pages, and we're there. the e.p.a. would then be subject to a full review and downsize to emission focus only on conservation of safe air, land and water. no
