good morning, america. wee have breaking news, unemployment falls to a two-year low. companies hiring at the fastest rate since before the recession. where did spring go? snow in new england -- tornadoes trash florida. sending air show spectators flying for cover. sam tracks the wild weather. prince william unplugged. less than a month till he's married and he opens up about his royal wedding jitters. >> i was sitting there the other day and my knees started going. tapping quite nervously. >> for goodness snakes -- that quivering venomous cobra who kept new york on edge is back

that her cage. how everyone is cashing in on her new-found fame. good morning to all our viewers in the west. robin roberts has started spring break. i want to welcome cynthia mcfadden from "nightline." >> my day turned a little upside down but great to be here with you. major headlines very encouraging news, we'll get to that in just a minute. and we'll head to japan where a strange blue flash of light is jeopardizing workers racing to stop a nuclear reactor meltdown. they're getting help. a flying robot to the rescue. in a few minutes it's going to come soaring in our studio. and the largest pump over to japan let's go straight to the jobs numbers.

bianna golodryga over at the smart screen. now for the second straight month, more than 200,000 jobs created here in the united states. that hasn't happened in years. >> that's right, george, fingers crossed. this could clearly be the recovery we've been waiting for. we have seen the economy start to add jobs. february, nearly 192,000 jobs this morning, great news, 230 jobs actually add in the private setti sector. five straight months alone we saw 4,000 jobs cut. unemployment, we've seen that go, 9% in january. 8.9 for february. and 8.8%, george, for march. >> what we are seeing now, you're getting to that level of job creation that is greater than the population growth that

we haven't seen in a long time? >> that's right, we're also seeing that wages haven't been going up too much. but we're actually seeing employers pay their employees more. >> is there any anything that says that the economy heating up? >> the economy is saying it's a long way off until we see the federal reserve do anything. nearly 300,000 jobs is where we need to get the unemployment rate down to each month where it was before. >> thanks, bianna, thanks very much. let's turn to the wild weather right now. snow in the south. tornadoes in the south. we're tracking everything with sam. he's in times square right now. >> good morning. it looks like the april fools' day storm on the nasty side of the joke. but today in a good part of coastal areas right here in times square up to boston, we got the sweet are side of the storm system.

let's go to "gma" storm site radar. you see how the moisture is concentrating up into the northern mountain areas. into new york city there is widely scatter rain. there will not be snow ok accumulation in new york city. portland maine could see 6 to 10 inches of snow. when you get into vermont and new hampshire, the mountains of new hampshire could see a foot snow. there will be gusty winds as well. looks like a 25 to 45-mile-an-hour wind gusts all the way to new england. our linsey davis is in pittsfield, massachusetts. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, sam. who knew that mother nature was such the april fools practical joker. look at this. it's april. the snow started falling just after midnight. 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 not enough snow to close down schools in the area but still, many are hoping that this is winter's last hoo-rah, cynthia. >> what had been the armstrong home. >> well, florida is reeling from tornados that tore the center of the state, flipping over planes and crushing cars. matt gutman is live in indian rock beach. matt? >> reporter: good morning, cynthia. ripping down walls. this has been the second story of the armstrong home. they've lived here for 50 years. just in a few seconds that tornado or a possible tornado ripped through here. jumps over the gulf, leaping at this house. mashing everything together. we have memories of 50 years ago. bow ties. broken china, all of it mashed together in a couple of seconds. what's incredible about this storms, it wasn't one storm. they kept battering central florida all day long.

first, day turned into night. then came the rain. coming down in some places at the rate of 7 inches an hour. >> in the middle of a tornado right now. >> reporter: followed by winds so strong it ripped the roof right off this home. and left a tree in this woman's living room. >> like a freight train falling on your house. >> reporter: in tampa, a tornado tore through this convenience store. >> i heard somebody say tornado. by that time, i looked toward the front window and all the insulation picked up and blew off. >> reporter: motorists tried navigating streets littered with uprooted trees. and this gas station, shattered. in lakeland, florida, another tornado smashed through the sun'n fun air show where hundreds were camped out. in the air field. t took just a couple of seconds for the wind to toss dozens of planes like this is up in the air as if they were toys and then slam them back on the ground.

many of these planes had been painstakingly remodeled antiques. 95-mile-an-hour winds turned it into a projectile. and when the tent flew away, the families were left running for shelter. >> threw the port-a-potty in the air. >> the microwave was in the tent. >> reporter: you covered his body. >> yeah, he's my son. he was scared to death. >> reporter: in its quake, the series of storms left hundreds of homes damaged. and despite all of this damage, cynthia, millions and millions of dollars worth of property damage. it's miraculous that very few people were badly hurt and certainly nobody was killed. >> well, matt, that house certainly looks destroyed. what about the neighbors? >> reporter: it's actually pretty incredible, and it shows the awesome concentrated might of tornadoes. check out that house, almost entirely intact. same thing for the one on the other side of the street. >> unbelievable. matt gutman for that report. george? we're turning to the latest on libya, gadhafi's forces continue to push back the rebels

but tough obama administration officials are signaling any arms for the rebels won't come from the u.s. they're heaping gadhafi's regime will crumble under pressure and there are more signs this morning. another top libyan official has defected and there are reports that gadhafi's son are sending out reports for a possible deal. alex marquardt is in libya. alex, lots of signs that gadhafi's inner circle is cracking, but the rebels, just no match for his military right now? >> reporter: that's right, george, the rebels are being battered and pushed back by the gadhafi forces. they're still showing a lot of heart but without the international support, it's very hard to see how they move forward. a rebel fighter fires a rocket at gadhafi forces and sets his belongings on fire. this untrained rag-tag force bravely pushes forward. but it's forced to retreat in the face of superior fire power.

there's no plan, this fighter says. we just keep trying. after making it to the doorstep of gadhafi's birth place of sirte at lightning speed on monday, the rebels have been pushed back around 150 miles to around braga, a key oil town. and those air strikes that blue up gadhafi tanks and carried the rebels west, none since monday, due to bad weather. anger among libyans here is mounting. >> they're just wondering where are the coalition forces? what are the strikes that have helped us? >> reporter: the families fleeing the violence, desperate. i'm calling on the coalition to strike them, this man told us. he's destroying and killing us said this 10-year-old. gadhafi hasn't been seen in ten days, but on thursday, libyan tv published a statement that said it's not him but western leaders who should go. the solution for this problem is that they resign immediately, he said and their peoples find alternatives to them.

this as his second top official in two days defected, ali abdessalem treki defected. libya's ambassador to the u.n. quit over the spilling of blood. >> reporter: gadhafi's intelligence chief is also reported to be among the defectors but with the rebels' lack of progress and loss of -- this is looking increasingly like a stalemate, cynthia. >> thanks, alex. back to japan, workers are speaking up about the poisonous conditions inside the plant. conditions so dangerous that japanese officials are sending in robots. we're going to show you those live in the studio in a moment, but first, the latest on the workers from neal karlinsky. in tokyo. neal? >> 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 living in a shelter just outside of tokyo. some have been offered jobs to

go back and help contain the leak. they're exchanging money with their lives, he said. there might be people who take the offer but it's not worth the risk. those who are fighting to contain the radiation will soon have help from an american company, as the world's largest concrete pumps are being shipped to japan from the united states. they'll first be used for spraying water, but they may eventually be used to coat the reactors in cement and bury them for good. tepco, the power company, has acknowledged the mistake and now promised to get more of these to their workers. ours, by the way, i hope my mom is listening to this, over the course of last week has picked up enough radiation to equal about one fourth of one chest x-ray. so i think we're okay, george. >> i'm glad you reassured your mom, neal. i could barely hear you, what we've got here is one of the robots, similar to one of the robots the americans have sent over to help with the reactor in japan. i'm joined by henry christensen

from the georgia institute of technology. this robot is called pelican. explain what exactly it's going to be doing inside the reactor. >> well, exactly, they sent over not exactly this robot but a similar robot. you can get video imagery back. you can use this, you can have drones fly at high altitude. you can get close to a building or into a building to see what's going on so you can get this, to get close to measure radioactivity to get a sense for what's going on. so this can get much closer than any others. >> this can go inside and start flying around? >> exactly. >> and take pictures. and measure radiation? >> it can measure radiation. the map you're seeing here, it will allow you to build a map of what the environment looked like and measure radiation and tell you what the radiation levels are. >> let's bring pelican in for a landing so we can also show you the land robot which this is identical to what's being used.

>> so our robot has made four of those robots available. two like that, two larger ones. and they're being used so they have what you see on the arm is basically a radiation sensor and an i.r. camera. you can go in with there's no electricity. it will give you a view of what's going on in the building and measure radiation. and get a good sense for what it is. and it also has a gripper on it, for example, if there's a blocked door -- >> we're showing that right now. what is the advantage of this over the flying? >> so, this one, has a lot of mobility. it can go through rubble, but this one can't lift anything or move anything. this one can move things aside. so it can, for instance, clear a path so it can bring in a water hose for this. you can bring in other things. so before you send in people, you can use this basically as a remote system to allow -- >> as a scout? >> -- as a scout, also to a certain extent being able to move things around to clear a path. because you don't want to have

people in there too long. by using this technology, we can be at a safe distance and still do this. >> do we have any sense of how long these have been in the reactors? >> no, we don't. they haven't told us. these are being applied around the world, there are more than 4,000 of these in use today. we have a lot of experience from other scenarios where we know these are very effective. >> thanks very much. >> thank you, george. now, to a video shocking people and stirring outrage online. the ceo of a well-known internet company is seen killing and carving a giant elephant in africa. animal rights groups calling for a boycott of his company. j. juju chang is here with the story. >> these are graphic. is it animal cruelty or shedding light on a chronic problem in one the poorest african cities.

>> reporter: this is the sight that has animal activists screaming foul. bob parsons from godaddy.com posted video of himself hunting down the elephant. trampled a local farmer's crops. but then they're seen carving up the elephant, passing out meat, while rock music played in the background. parsons' links to the clip on twitter saying gist back from hunting problem elephant in zimbabwe, he's my vacation video, enjoy. peta called him the scummiest ceo of the year. but the ceo's defending his actions saying critics missed the point. things are different over there, if they had an animal destroying their livelihood and they were going to starve to death, they would look at it differently. i'm helping people get access to foot and protect their crops. now, officials in zimbabwe do

say elephant overpopulation is a big problem. they're just very big pets. but pachyderm contraception and other solutions are still too expensive for them. this is a company known for controversial marketing. >> wow, that is out there, though. >> right, exactly. >> juju, thanks. 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. we'll talk more about that later.

>> we'll have all of america's weather from times square, but now the lovely cynthia mcfadden. it's nice to see you. >> you look so good in a rain slicker, sam. >> thank you. mystery solved, that missing egyptian cobra who became an internet superstar this week was finally found. she escaped from her cage at the bronx zoo almost a week ago, and dan harris has more on where she's been hiding all this time. >> reporter: this is the first look at the serpentine star who was born during the six-day crisis that was fodder for late night comics and tabloid headline writers.

>> they found that egyptian cobra that has gone missing from the bronx zoo today, turns out it was in lindsay lohan's purse. >> reporter: late thursday, zoo officials held a packed news conference to announce they had her her alive and well. >> the key strategy in recovering the snake was patience. >> reporter: but they relied on more than just patience to capture the snake. they made sure to keep the sound down and the lights dim inside the reptile house here, to make sure the snake felt comfortable coming out. and they put out wood chips, the kind of things that mice and rats sleep on in the hopes that the snake would come out and do a little hunting. after six days of thrice daily sweeps of the building, they found her coiled in a deep corner. during her brief taste of liberty, the little snake who was only 20 inches long and 3 ounces became a huge star with a facebook campaign to get her to host "saturday night live" and a twitter account that drew about 200 followers. sample tweet -- if you see a bag of peanuts inexplicably moving

along the ground at yankee stadium today, just ignore it. it's probably nothing. businesses tried to cash in on the hoopla selling cobra-themed t-shirts and coffee mugs. the famous snake doesn't actually have a name. as soon as they can confirm that she's healthy, zoo officials may put her on display, hopefully in amore secure cage this time. for "good morning america," dan harris, abc news, new york. >> i never liked that reptile house. my little boy wanted to hang out in there. always scary. listen, she has big followers. mayor bloomberg is following her. >> she does. now they're all weighing in on twitter trying to figure out what to call her after that big contest in new york. coming up, prince william is speaking out, is he really not wearing a ring after he marries kate and why he says his knees are knocking just weeks before his wedding. and the huge hit to your wallet as you go to get money. how banks are cashing in at the atm. and meet the lucky seven who hit the jackpot.

i decided to fly out to chicago to test this for myself. mind you, i don't have a chase account, let's see how much i'll be charged to withdraw. 20 bucks, don't need a reseat. there you go. a $5 fee even if i want to take out $20. are you kidding me? decline on that one. so we went inside the chicago chase branch, hoping to talk to the branch manager. as fast as can you make an atm withdrawal, we were kicked to the curb. transaction denied. the fee hike comes two months after jpmorgan chase posted a 45% profit. why are they cashing in when they're already making so much money? how are they charging $5 in illinois and $4 in texas. >> we're just trying to test different price points. our costs have gone up significantly. salt of the investments we've made. >> reporter: so you're saying

>> so you'd start to get what's going on here, i think they're telling people, be a chase customer. >> right. it's a marketing technique. this time, they're issuing a stick, rather than a carrot. and they're saying, you know, we're everywhere, if you want to come bank with us, you can do it for free. otherwise, you pay. >> it could back fire, people could get angry when they see that $5 pop up. >> you can get a subway sandwich instead. >> thanks very much. overnight, the mega millionaires, why the luckiest move ever could have been grabbing a snicker's bar. been grabbing a snicker's bar. then we asked them to try new dove visible care. a revolutionary new line of body wash with the highest concentration of nutrium moisture. visible care makes skin visibly more beautiful in just 1 week. ♪ when they saw how much more beautiful and radiant their skin looked with new dove visible care... there was only one question. ♪ new dove visible care creme body wash.
