Tornado watches and warnings are up from South Carolina to new jersey, including washington, d. C. , and philadelphia. This is the same system that brought death to the south last night and well begin our coverage with chip reid. A tornado just came through right on 460 right now. It tore the place the pieces. Reporter this facebook video shows the path of destruction after an apparent tornado ripped through the small town of waverly south of richmond, virginia, this afternoon. State Police Confirm that three people have died. Late today a tweet from cbs affiliate wtvr in richmond said, sadly one of the three confirmed deaths was a young child who died when mobile home was hit. The station also reported eight others were injured. Everything is destroyed. Unbelievable. I mean, unbelievable. Reporter the debris field is three miles long. Sussex surrey dispatch reporter Michael Campbell photographed this mobile home ripped open, twisted around telephone poles. Roads are blocked by downed trees, power lines and piles of debris were torn from homes. And take a look at this video of the storm passing over the white house and the washington monument. Some pretty scary stuff. And scott, were being told that just over the border from washington in maryland in at le least one floodprone area, people are being rescued from their cars. Pelley chip, thanks very much. Tornadoes killed at least three people yesterday in mississippi and louisiana. At an r. V. Park in convent, louisiana, David Begnaud found a story of survival. I felt stuff hitting my trailer or the r. V. , and the next thing i know i went forward. And next thing i know it was daylight and i was riding around and around and around, and then i didnt realize until later what it was. Riding on. Reporter 48yearold Barbara Posey has a survival story that even she cant believe. And then it swung me this way, like back out towards the road. And then i got swung back in the mud hole. Reporter this is what her r. V. Looks like now, scrap mixed among a mangled mess of personal treasures. This is hard to comprehend right now. Reporter ricky posey is barbaras husband. He left her bedside today to find items belonging to her grandmother. You can look around and you can see what one storm can do. Reporter vehicles were tossed like toys. The tree line is littered with metal. Today the governor toured the area by helicopter, and from the ground its obvious what happened here is a disaster. Just ask holly hana. Part of my bedroom is over there, my kitchen is over there. Everywhere. Reporter from louisiana to georgia, up to 24 tornadoes were reported yesterday according to the National Weather service. Back in louisiana, Barbara Poseys dog is missing, and though shes worried, shes grateful. You know that your r. V. Is now. Reporter pieces. Yeah. Thats material things. Im still here. Im able to talk to you. Im able to kiss my husband. Im lucky. Reporter two people died at the r. V. Park. 30 people were injured, seven of them critically. And scott, right before we came on the air tonight, we noticed this electrical box on the ground right in front of what used to be barbaras r. V. So we snapped a picture. We sent it to her and from her hospital bed she confirms this looked exactly like the power box she was holding on to as she went flying through the air. Pelley amazing story. David begnaud, thank you very much. So what is coming next . Eric fisher is the chief meteorologist at our cbs boston eric . Reporter well scott, a very destructive couple of days. Look at the tornado reports over the last 24 hours from the gulf coast. And today, adding those additional reports from around virginia. A lot of damage, several fatalities, unfortunately. Tornado watches are something you dont see very much in february extending all the way up into southeastern pennsylvania and southern new jersey tonight. Were tracking an aggressive line of thunderstorms moving north and east very quickly, reaching all the way up into new york. In fact, all the way up into the warmer temperatures getting into southern new england and early tomorrow morning could even see a couple severe thunderstorms there, as well. So heres the line moving through d. C. , moving through new york. Just before midnight tonight. And then into the boston area right during the Early Morning commute before moving off shore. And the snow slowly winding down on the cold side of all of this. And so scott, even as the rain and snow tapers off, a lot of wind across the midwest and northeast tomorrow. And that too could lead to some flight delays across the area. Pelley eric fisher, wbz. Well, donald trump is moving like a storm front through the republican primaries and caucuses. Last night, he won in nevada with marco rubio and ted cruz way back. Heading toward super tuesday next week, trump has more delegates than his rivals combined. And Dean Reynolds is in las vegas. Reporter the confounded Republican Party establishment may fervently wish what happens in vegas stays in vegas, but Donald Trumps march to the nomination would be hard to bet against now. Today the victor was in virginia, one of 12 states with contests next tuesday. So we had a very exciting evening last night. Reporter in nevada, trump ran the table, winning almost every category of voter and by a bigger margin than in New Hampshire or South Carolina. We won with young. We won with old. We won with highly educated. We won with poorly educated. I love the poorly educated. Reporter there were twice as many caucusgoers as four years washington. And six out of ten said the next president should be a political outsider. Usa, usa reporter perfect fits for trump, whose rivals sifted the landslide for nuggets of hope in their home states. Marco rubio has a bunch of endorsements, but no wins. The florida senator told cbs this morning that will change. Well win in florida. Now that governor bush is no longer in the race, him and i split a lot of support in florida so that will help us. And again, as far as going into next week, we feel great about almost every state thats on the map. Reporter texas senator ted cruz is trying to grab a victory in texas where the governor just endorsed him. Texas has 155 delegates. It is the crown jewel of super tuesday. Texas has alone almost 15 of the delegates you need to be the republican nominee. That he alone is within the margin of error in a race against trump in ohio, but kasich is the governor of ohio. Now, in an effort to slow trump down, there are increasing calls to see his past tax returns. Scott, mitt romney, whose own wealth became an issue during his 2012 campaign, said today, we have good reason to believe theres a bombshell in Donald Trumps taxes. Pelley and trump has justom tweeted that romneys taxma returns made him look like a fool. Dean reynolds in nevada for us tonight. Dean, thank you. The next contest for the democrats is South Carolina. Tu thats on saturday. And heres nancy cordes. Reporter struggling in South Carolina, sanders headed to missouri today, where 7,000 people were waiting to lift his spirits. Democracy is not a spectator cheers and applause all of you, and all of the american people, we are the quarterbacks of our future. Reporter but a win in South Carolina and large super tuesday states like texas, virginia and georgia, could give clinton an insurmountable lead. Hi. How are you . Reporter shes already begun to talk less about sanders and more about republicans. They want to turn back all of our rights. Womens rights, civil right, gay rights, Voting Rights, workers rights. Reporter sanders has always acknowledged hes dependent on one thing. Our job is to create a high voter turnout. Reporter but so far, democratic turnout is down from 2008 by 25 in iowa, 13 in New Hampshire, and 33 in nevada. You often say you want to create the kind of Political Revolution that president obama couldnt. Is the fact that turnout is lower a sign that that no, its a sign that barack obama ran an unprecedented, Brilliant Campaign in 2008. I think we have come a long, long way. We are now in the lead in some national polls. I think we have made real progress. Reporter the reason sanders wants high turnout is because itgn would signify that younger, voters, who typically back him are flocking to the polls. But, scott, older voters have always been more reliable voters, and in nevada, for instance, seniors went for clinton by a full 50 points. Pelley nancy cordes in southel carolina for us tonight. Nancy, thanks. Today president obama took the republican dare. There hes moving ahead toto nominate a new Supreme Courtice de justice despite a vow by Senate Republicans to deny that nominee hearing, much less a vote. Heres our chief legalen correspondent jan crawford. Reporter sitting in the ovalrd office with the king of jordan, the president started the hard sell for his eventual suprememi court nominee, predicting senate will cave. I think it will be very difficult for mr. Mcconnell to explain how if the public concludes that this person is very well qualified that the senate should stand in the way simply for political reasons. Reporter mr. Obama even published a blog, detailing what he is looking for in a nominee. Senate majority leader harry reid offered a surprise pick nevadas republican governor brian sandoval. But i know if he were picked, i would support the man. Reporter but republicans like senator mike lee say theyre holding firm until after the election, no matter who the nominee. There is absolutely nothing unprecedented and absolutely nothing improper about the senate choosing to withhold its consent to the president s nominee to the Supreme Court. Reporter now sandovals office says no one has contacted him about vetting, but he has called obamacare would fight to overturn it. And, scott, thats one reasonre why republicans say that sandoval buzz is just the whiteyi house and reid playing games. Pelley jan crawford. Jan, thanks very much. Y today a kennedy cousin went back to court hoping to clear his name in a murder that was committed four decades ago. Peter van sant of 48 hours was there. Reporter at todays hearing, michael skakels attorney, herbert santos, told the Connecticut Supreme Court who he believes really killed 15year r old martha moxley. The evidence leads to the inescapable conclusion that the probable killer was tommy skakel. Now, my client doesnt really want me to say that, its his brother.

Bobby kennedy, jr. , is his cousin and one of his biggest defenders. I know michael skakel. And i know he didnt commit the crime. Reporter skakel was convicted in 2002, but released on bail after 11 years when an Appeals Court ordered a new trial, finding his defense attorney made major mistakes. But state prosecutor susan gill disagrees. This was far from a slipshod defense. This was a wellplanned, well thoughtout, professional defense. Do you have any comment on todays proceeds . No comment right now. Ng reporter leaving court but bobby kennedy, jr. , who sat with him during the hearing, did. He didnt get a fair trial and hes not guilty. Reporter we were unable to reach michaels brother tommy skakel for a comment, but years ago he denied having anything to do with moxleys murder. And, scott, the defense Attorney Says he expects a ruling from the Supreme Court by the fall. Pelley Peter Van Sant reporting on the story tonight. Peter, thank you.
