Trees were ripped up and power was knocked out for Tens Of Thousands of residents. Tonight, we have Team Coverage of this wild weather, and cbss Roxana Saberi will start us off. Reporter tonight, once again, a Tornado Threat became reality across a midsection of the country. Power flash, look at that. Reporter up north, tornadoes tore across the midwest tuesday. Thats a big one. Speed to at least three have been confirmed in michigan, propping the states first ever tornado emergency. In the crosshairs, kalamazoo county. 176 homes were damaged or destroyed. The city of portage took a direct hit not once, but twice, less than an hour and a half. An ef2 twister with winds of 13s fedex facility. Authorities tell cbs news Everyone Inside was able to escape by the time rescuers arrived. This doorbell camera captured the moment a tornado toppled nearly every tree in sight. Oh, mike ott reporter while a few miles away, a twister slammed pavilion estates, splintering several mobile homes and injuring at least 12 people. Today, The Sound Of Chainsaws filled the air, as residents began cleaning up. The force of the first tornado was so strong, it wrapped multiple homes around this tree. So your trailer was here . Yeah, my trailer was here. Reporter and now . Now its over there, yes p reporter that your trailer. Gerald brooks said he survived by hiding in his closet.

There is even more Severe Weather in the forecast tonight and tomorrow, so lets bring in meteorologist Reynolds Wolf from our partners at the weather channel. Good evening, reynolds. Good evening, norah. We have got the boom of thunder that is approaching the music city on the set up that we have atmospheric lay speaking is very similar to what we saw yesterday. Plenty of Moisture Feeding and from the south of mexico, unstable air math, and then we have this energy that is rolling from west to east, and you see the result right there. It is a bevy of watches and warnings, against very tumultuous storms racing across americas landscape, bringing with it really the hammer blows of Severe Weather, including tornadoes. Now at this time, we do have a torcon listed for much of the area that raises any 5. Remember they go from 1 to 10, so i 5 is where we stand. Damaging wind, greater likelihood of damage there, certainly widespread Power Outages may be in the mix as also the very formation of very large hail. What may prove to be the biggest part of the story is the rainfall. It could be excessive. We are talking about an area that has had plenty of moisture, and with another 2 to 3 inches of rainfall possible as we make our way through the next several hours, there is certainly a very good chance of some flash flooding. Now the system is eventually going to linger a bit more towards the east end to the south, but still, millions of americans will be under threat for tomorrow. Norah . Norah thats good information. Reynolds wolf, thank you. Turning out to the israelhamas war and the Breaking News out of the white house. President biden issuing a warning to Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu the u. S. Will not supply weapons that israel could use in an assault in the Southern City of rafah. We get details now from chief Foreign Affairs correspondent and Face The Nation moderator margaret brennan. Lets go reporter this is what the Israeli Military calls a limited operation in rafah, where air strikes today hit one of the most densely populated places on earth. Nearly 1. 5 Million People have swelled into this part of southern gaza. Casualties and lack of supplies overwhelmed this Kuwait Hospital director. I feel that the rockets, the explosive bombs, are completely different from those which have been used before. Reporter the Biden Administration announced that while it is surging weapons to israel, it has simultaneously paused delivery of 3500 socalled dumb bombs, due to concern of the impact of 2,000pound bombs in dense urban settings. Civilians have been killed in gaza as a consequence of those bombs, and other ways in which they go after population centers. And ive made it clear that if they go into rafah, they havent gone into rafah yet, if they go into rafah, im not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with rafah, to deal with the cities, to deal with that problem. Reporter the Israeli Military publicly downplayed the pause, but privately, cbs was told of deep frustration. Including among republicans. This is obscene. It is absurd. Give israel what they need to fight the war they cant afford to lose. Reporter it is the first such limiting action put on israel in this seven Month War Hamas began back in october. Over the top. Reporter but President Biden one israels prime mr. Benjamin netanyahu that he was considering a Policy Change of israel did not show more care for civilians. Half of the 35,000 dead in gaza are children. While biden did osher through 26 billion in Emergency Aid to israel, hes under pressure from more than half of congressional democrats, who are calling for him to withhold offensive weaponry. Now he is trying to signal u. S. Support may not be unequivocal when it comes to how israel uses u. S. Taxpayerfunded weapons. We just dont believe its possible to move those people to other places inside gaza, and we have not seen a plan to take care of them if they were moved to other places. Reporter and the president also said tonight the u. S. May pause artillery shell deli deliveries. Meanwhile, the cia director, bill burns, met with netanyahu in israel and is now back in egypt, and it is the united states, norah, that is leading these diplomatic efforts to release hostages and pause the fighting. Norah no doubt they are working very hard on this. Margaret brennan, thank you. Tonight, and other win for Donald Trumps legal team as they pushed to delay his trials. The start date of the Georgia Election interference case is now in limbo after an Appeals Court agreed to hear trumps argument to disqualify District Attorney fani willis. Trump and other defendants want her off the case, claiming her relationship with a former Special Prosecutor presented a conflict of interest. On tuesday, the judge in his classified documents case postpones that trial indefinitely, saying it will take months to settle disputes over evidence. Meanwhile, trump socalled hush money trial, well, that resumes in new york tomorrow. Now to a cbs news exclusive. A former Spirit Aerosystems employee who blew the whistle over Safety Concerns is now breaking his silence to cbs news. The company is a major supplier for boeing and has been under intense scrutiny since january when a door panel blew off an Alaska Airlines plane midflight peered well, tonight, the whistleblower is telling his story to our Senior Transportation correspondent kris van cleave. If quality matter, i would still be at spirit. Reporter for about a decade, Santiago Paredes worked at the end of the Production Line at one of boeings largest suppliers, Spirit Aerosystems, doing final inspections on 737 fuselages before they would ship to boeing. How often did you find issues . Every day. Im finding over 100 defects every day. Reporter findings he says his managers pressured him to keep to a minimum, even, he says, referring to him by the nickname showstopper because repairs he identified delayed deliveries, which he said cost spirit money. They always said they didnt have time to fix mistakes. Reporter didnt have time because they needed to get the planes out . They needed to get the planes out, yet. Reporter cbs news spoke with several current and former spirit employees and reviewed photos of dented fuselages and a wrench they say was left behind in a supposedly ready to deliver a component. Were these defects that if they werent fixed could be a safety issue down the line . Some of them were because some of them were missing fasteners. Reporter and a fastener holds parts of the plane together . . Yeah. Reporter boeing converts it has long had a team that minds and fixes defects in spirit products after delivery when boeing is assembling the planes. Its a recipe for disaster, really. I said it was just a matter of time before something bad happened. Reporter in february 2022, paredes says his bosses asked him to speed up inspections, being less specific about where he was finding issues. He emailed his managers, writing the request was unethical. What happened to you . They took my teammate away. They stripped me from my my leadership position. Reporter after filing an Ethics Complaint with hr and contacting the companys ceo, paredes eventually was reinstated but says he had enough, resigning that summer. It takes a toll on you, and i was tired of fighting. Reporter until today, paredes, an air force veteran who spent 12 years at spirits which are, was known as former employee won in a lawsuit brought in december by spirit shareholders, alleging widespread quality failures. Quality failures paredes says boeing was well aware of. For many years, they knew they were getting defective fuselages. Reporter he says he freak only found issues in your door panels similar to the one that blew out a 737 max midflight in january. The ongoing Ntsb Investigation indicates that door panel was removed during final assembly to allow Spirit Contractors to make defect repairs. It appears the bolt holding the panel were not reinstalled. Working at spirit, i almost grew a fear of flying. Theres about two or three units that is in the back of your mind that you know that you would never want to fly. Reporter you think there are planes out there that you wouldnt want to fly on . Knowing what i know about the 737 . It makes me very uncomfortable when i fly on one of them. Reporter spirit declined our request for an interview, but in a statement says the claims against the company in that Shareholder Lawsuits are unfounded and it remains committed to addressing concerns and continuously improving Workplace Safety standards. Norah . Norah so, kris, seems like one of the obvious questions as what is boeing doing about this . Reporter well, since march, boeing has been inspecting every fuselage that comes off the line in wichita. They say that has cut defect issued by about 80 . Boeing maintains the 737 is safe. Norah kris van cleave, thank you very much. Theres Breaking News tonight from here in washington.

We found hundreds of boxes of stolen items, ranging from designer purses, electronic devices, overthecounter medications. Reporter its called fencing.

Los angeles, san francisco, oakland, houston, and new york are the most impacted by organized retail crime. Recently, norah spoke with the ceo of cvs health, karen lynch, about the problem. Norah i remember back in the day, the really expensive stuff would be under lock and key. I get that. But now it is like shampoo and toothpaste. Why . Because they are coming in and they are just ripping through, like, the entire counter. And so, we are trying to keep things safe. Reporter the new york d. A. Said today that more than 200,000 from that Million Dollar bust were goods that were stolen from macys alone.
