and this is the western edition of the broadcast. pick a kind of severe weather-- hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding, hail, even blizzards, and tens of millions of americans are dealing with it tonight. on this mother's day weekend the calendar packed with college graduation ceremonies, much of texas is under a tornado watch as parts of oklahoma, kansas and colorado which also this week had to deal with eight inches of hail. other parts of colorado are under a winter storm watch along with wyoming, nebraska, and south dakota. the black hills could get more than two feet of snow. three weeks before the official start of hurricane season, tropical storm ana has the carolina coast in its crosshairs. but we begin tonight with don champion in woodward, oklahoma. >> reporter: at least one person was killed when a tornado touched down this afternoon near sysco, texas. elsewhere, heavy rains caused flash flooding on land already saturated by storms earlier in the week. today marks the fourth day in a row states like oklahoma and texas have seen severe weather. baseball-sized hail broke car windows in amarillo, texas, this morning, and last night, a severe storm blew out the windows of the y.m.c.a. in norman, oklahoma. it's rained so much in the town of shawnee, just outside of oklahoma city, officials are worried a dam could soon breach. much of the state is under a flash flood watch. more than 60 reported tornadoes have swept across the southern and central plains in the last week. >> oh, it was scary. >> reporter: in places already cleaning up from storms, the threat of more severe weather only adds to anxiety. part of this roof was ripped off by a tornado wednesday. >> as long as everybody was safe, that's what counts. material things don't matter. it's the lives. >> reporter: a sign of strength among people used to weathering the worst of storms. and tornadoes are possible tonight from texas to colorado. the severe weather threat is then expected to push east tomorrow and lessen on monday. jim. >> axelrod: don champion, thank you. now to the carolinas, also bracing for severe weather, as tropical storm ana approaches from the atlantic. mikaya thurmond of cbs station wral tv is in carolina beach north carolina. mckaya, bring us up to speed on what's happening there. >> reporter: jim, even though this looks like a normal saturday afternoon, things are expected to get very serious very quickly. ana is expected to deliver about five inches of rainfall just this weekend. the tropical storm could bring winds up to 60 miles per hour, which is a dangerous situation for surf and rip currents. beachgoers and sailors should take on a very seriously, as they could be taken out to sea. on the land, we are expecting some scattered power outages, as well as broken tree limbs and minor damages to porches, as well as sheds. ana could bring water to the coastline, which would lead to flooding in low-lying areas. >> axelrod: mikaya thurmond in wilmington, north carolina thank you. the typhoon is also on the list of severe weather we're reporting on tonight in the pacific. typhoon noul is bearing down on the philippines, expected to make landfall within the next 24 hours. thousands have been evacuated from an area that has also been affected recently by an erupting volcano. the hard reality in california not enough water. starting june 1, california cities have to cut their water use from 8% to as much as 36%. among the 36 percenters, beverly hills. carter evans shows us how they're cracking down to drought dodgers. >> reporter: in beverly hills, where most megamansions have huge, manicured lawns, the landscape is about to change dramatically. >> a big lawn looks a little odd to us. it just seems inappropriate. >> reporter: facing down the drought, andrea spatz ripped out her lawn. her backyard grass is now replaced with less-thirsty plants. >> we're trying to lead by example. >> reporter: california's water board says beverly hills is one of the state's biggest water wasters. the city is now on notice-- cut consumption 36% by next year, or pay the price. >> the city does not comply with these cuts, that we can be find up to $10,000 a day. >> reporter: julian gold is the mayor of beverly hills. >> 50% or 60% of the water we use goes to watering grass. we can't afford that anymore. >> reporter: the city has already limited lawn watering to two days a week and is considering fining individual water wasters up to $1,000. a lot of these could afford triple the water bill, maybe 10 times the water bill. >> fines are not the answer to the question. even somebody who's got a megamansion with a huge lawn and tons of money has to understand that at the end of the day, if there's no water coming out of the faucet, it's their faucet, also. >> reporter: if the over- watering continues, he says, it may get personal. >> i'm going to go knock on their door and tell them to stop. >> reporter: is that what it's going to come down to? >> i think it's going to come down to neighbors policing neighbors. >> i think it has to become more like smoking, not wearing seat belts where there's a little bit of a public shaming, where being a water waster is considered bad in itself, even if you can afford it. >> reporter: money may be no object, but without water, even those rolling in the green, may have trouble staying green. carter evans, cbs news, beverly hills. axelrod: liberia has now declared itself to be ebola- free. the announcement was treated with caution and jubilation. the ebola outbreak killed 4,700 liberians. yesterday marked 70 years since end of world war ii in europe. in russia, they marked today as victory day, which means an elaborate display of military might. but as charlie d'agata reports the pageantry was notable not for who was there but who wasn't. >> reporter: russia rolled out the big gun today, high-tech tanks and long-range missile launchers rumbling along red square. 16,000 troops marched to a cordpraffed lockstep while military aircraft roared overhead. cameras were placed in every conceivable position to capture president vladimir putin's parade. but nowhere to be seen today were the world war ii allies that helped bring victory over nazi germany. the orchestrated pageant wasagea boycotted by president obama and the leaders of britain and france because of the ongoing conflict in ukraine. instead putin was joined by leaders from countries like china, india, cuba and venezuela. that wasn't the case 10 years ago when president george w. bush sat right next to putin enjoying dozens more world leaders in honor of the 60th anniversary. the soviet union paid a heavy price through world war ii losing more than 26 million soldiers and civilians, more than any other country. throughout europe, commemorations were held to reflect and remember those lost in war. in paris, they closed down the champs elysees for cavalry. u.s. secretary of state john kerry laid a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier. and across britain this morning, church bells rang out, signifying an end to the years they had hung in silence during the war. on a day that's supposed to serve as a reminder of sacrifice and unity against a common enemy, jim, of president putin took a swipe at the united states during his speech saying, "we've seen attempted to create a unipolar world, a phrase he's often used to criticize america's role in world affairs. >> axelrod: charlie, thank you. what if your boss said we're getting rid of job titles. if you don't like it, we'll give you three months' pay, plus benefits, and you can leave? that is exactly what played out recently at zappos, a company which now has significantly fewer workers. here's jericka duncan. >> reporter: zappos.com c.e.o. tony shay is trying relatively new management style called holacracy. >> instead of power being centralized at the top of a hierarchy, it's a way to really distribute that leadership throughout the organization. >> reporter: business consultant anna mcgrath helped zappos make the transition and estimates at least 200 companies worldwide have implemented holacracy. she said most businesses have fear-driven environment where's people are afraid to speak up. >> what holacracy does is make really clear weekly and monthly meetings to process any issues-- what we would call tensions -- so that you can really drive the organization where it needs to go. >> reporter: could it be too many voices? because there are reasons why certain people have certain titles. >> we integrate voices to actually create the roles and accountability. >> reporter: with holacracies there are no titles but some zappos employees have reportedly expressed concern, saying there's a lot of uncertainty around how compensation will be determined under a system where employees fill multiple roles instead of holding specific titles. so far, 210 of the 1,503 work version decided it take buyouts and leave the company. in a recent memo to employees, shay said, "self-management and self-organization is not for everyone, and not everyone will want to move forward." a spokesperson with zappos says the decision to move hazard holacracy was not for financial reasons. rather, it was about the long- term health of the company and the happiness of its employees. >> axelrod: jericka, thank you. one college figures the best way to fight racism is with racism. and a tense moment in human bear relations when the cbs evening news continues. >> axelrod: at commencement exercises today at tuskegee university, first lady michelle obama spoke of her personal experience with racial insults. >> and over the years, folks have used plenty of interesting words to describe me. one said i exhibited a little bit of upitty-ism. another noted that i was one of my husband's "cronies of color." cable news charmingly referred to me as "obama's baby mama." >> axelrod: mrs. obama suggested her experience is not unique. a new program at the university of colorado is actually spreading that kind of language. but as mark strassman reports, the goal is to make it disappear. >> reporter: at the university of colorado, everyone on campus is being tested. >> we want students to be uncomfortable when they read that? >> reporter: judewon kebede, a senior here, helped create these signs posted on campus. they attack race, religion, and sexual identity. one reads, "your mom must be the janitor because she's mexican." another assumes an arab student must be a suicide bomber. is there one message that hits you the hardest? >> i think probably the "go back to africa" message probably hit me the hardest just because that relates directly to my identity. >> reporter: are you uncomfortable when you read that? >> i'm been uncomfortable being told that. >> reporter: the 500 signs are intentionally offensive and were approved and paid for by the university. >> close to 70 bias-motivated incidents on the campus this year since august. >> reporter: bronson hilliard is an assistant vice chancellor here where 21% of the student population is minority. >> people need to see the ugliness of it and confront it directly before we can change it. >> reporter: but many posters have been torn down. the approach, like the posters offends brian shimamoto, a university employee. >> they wanted people to stand up and say, "whoa. what is this about?" and they got that reaction. the problem was, the people they were trying to help, some of us felt revictimized all over again. >> reporter: judewon kebede says progress sometimes involves pain. >> we are telling you this is not okay to say, that these narratives that students have been told are not okay. >> reporter: a clear sign this campus is taking a new path to inclusion. mark strassman, cbs news boulder, colorado. >> axelrod: president obama has now mended a broken heart. an 11-year-old girl by the name of rebecca kelley from vermilion, south dakota, drew this picture and sent it to the president writing, "this is my heart because you haven't visited south dakota." not only did the president visit south dakota yesterday. he visited with rebecca kelley. mr. obama is now just the fourth president to visit all 50 states while in office. after all the bad publicity, is sea world finally making a comeback? that's next. what if one push up could prevent heart disease?
