strengthen teeth. stronger teeth and dry mouth relief. good morning, america. breaking news overnight. new twisters tear up the midwest. >> oh, my gosh, it's getting big. it's coming this way! >> one tornado almost a mile wide flattens much of an entire town. and raging waters. rivers at record levels with backyards disappearing. voice of a killer. new clues in the search for a serial murderer. could the killer be a cop? the story behind the chilling phone calls to one victim's sister. >> do you think he's done killing? >> no. tipsy toddler. the truly alarming mixup at a major chain restaurant. a small child served alcohol

instead of apple juice and it's not the first time. his outraged mother speaks out. up your nose with a rubber hose. >> welcome back to the world of vinnie barbarino and the sweathogs. yes, john travolta and the class of kotter. it's a class reunion you don't want to miss. good morning, everyone. welcome back robin. >> you think i was going to miss mr. kotter? a lot of fun and sun in the florida keys. but weather not good everywhere. >> you're coming back after a wild weekend. across the midwest. the devastating or the they does and floods. now, this morning, iowa and wisconsin both cleaning up this morning from the twisters. other parts of the midwest dealing with massive flooding.

as five rivers overflow their banks. and we have the latest pictures of prince william and kate middleton right now on their last official trip before their wedding in a couple of weeks. we'll have the latest on who made the guest list in the after-hours disco planned at the palace. also this morning, boy, donald trump is keeping the spotlight. as he considers a white house run. you might have seen yesterday on "this week" the president's top political adviser blasted trump for questioning the president's citizenship. this weekend, trump also got some support from sarah palin. a change in tune from her. >> she's gone back and forth from time to time. but let's get to the extreme weather. yunji de nies is in mapleton, iowa. which was devastated by at least 20 tornadoes that swept across

the state. yunji, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, robin. you can see how powerful the tornado really was. the metal itself is from another building a few blocks away. 60% of the buildings in this town were either damaged or completely destroyed. >> it's getting big. it's coming this way! >> reporter: overnight in wisconsin, seven tornadoes swept through the state. >> the rain is coming. right behind us. we have to go. >> reporter: ripping homes from their foundations, uprooting trees. and leaving a path of destruction. >> that could be an entire wedge tornado on the ground. >> reporter: this new video shows what a half-mile-wide tornado looks like barreling through a small town. watch as this ef-3 tornado touches down. first, the warning siren sounds. >> oh, no, it's coming back. look at this. >> reporter: then the funnel, with winds up to 165 miles an hour.

at least 100 homes damaged. >> you just can't imagine the devastation. and we were so thankful that no one was hurt. and that's the most important thing. >> reporter: businesses destroyed. johnny moody was filming. as the tornado filmed. >> i was just out shooting lightning pictures. i caught the tornado forming. i could see debris spinning. i saw a roof get thrown across the grocery store. >> reporter: now home owners are gradually returning. trying to salvage even the smallest memory. this damage stretches for just blocks. you look at it, it's hard to believe no one was seriously injured. they're calling it the miracle in mapleton. >> there's so much rubble. thank you. all of these storms made for dangerous flooding in the mississippi, and red rivers. for the third year in a row, they're dealing with epic floods.

barbara? >> reporter: the red river crested over the weekend. the danger here is far from over. the river is usually a football field away. this morning, right here. it's about ten feet deep. and the only thing holding back the water are a few sandbags and wall made of wood. near fargo, anxiety is running as high as the red river. swallows roads and. turning houses into islands. for russ, watching the water creep closer, this is war. for three days now, he's waged a round-the-clock vigil to keep the river out. fortified by six pumps and this massive plywood mote he built by hand. >> it gets old. i mean it is worth living this close to the river? having to put up with this every year.

we've been asking ourselves if we're going to continue. >> reporter: this is why he stayed. the river barely visible from his lush backyard. but 90 inches of melting snow has turned the red into a raging me menace. the rivers here, five of them, all running over their banks. residents from iowa, minnesota, and the dakotas fight back any way they can. >> it came up a lot faster than anybody out here was prepared for. >> reporter: this is your place? >> this is my place. >> reporter: along the cheyenne, in west fargo, rick took us on a tour of his neighborhood. the road to his home is invisible. under 4 feet of water. the water is high here. >> yeah, it is pretty high. >> reporter: there is so much water here, miles and miles of it, and it could be weeks before all of this recedes. robin? >> at least. all right, barbara, thank you. meanwhile, japan rattled this morning by a massive aftershock on the one-month

anniversary of the earthquake and tsunami. that devastated that country, as you know. this morning's aftershock briefly cut power to the nuclear plants. bob woodruff joins us with the latest. good morning, bob. >> reporter: good morning, robin. it was a pretty remarkable day. we were on the sixth floor of the hotel. the beds shook. the floors. we were in fear. in fact, it made a lot of people afraid, as 20 minutes after that, another aftershock hit. it's really kind of putting this country into panic. today, two aftershocks. one, a powerful 6.6 magnitude, sparking a fresh tsunami warning. setting off sirens and forcing evacuations to higher ground. the aftershocks, temporarily cut power to two of the nuclear reactors at the crippled fukushima nuclear plant. these latest quakes rattled nerves, along with cameras

across japan. reminding people here of the ongoing threat. this is the one-month anniversary of the big earthquake which wiped out much of japan's coast. today, across the country, the people stood for a moment of silence. 14,000 u.s. troops are now helping to clean up. earlier today, they took us by helicopter to see the efforts. this is stunning. i don't think anybody has seen anything quite like this in our lives. >> it is. it's one of history's worst disasters ever. >> reporter: well, you know, the nuclear plants are getting the power back. but this is really a reminder on this anniversary, the one-month anniversary that this country is still very, very dangerous. robin? >> certainly, still a lot of rattled nerves. bob, thanks. we're going to turn to washington. the dust still hasn't settled from last week's budget standoff that just barely avoided a government shutdown.

a big battle over the national debt has just begun. the fight over whether and how to raise the limit is being described as armageddon. jake tapper joins us. >> reporter: it sounds academic. a legislative battle. over raising the debt ceiling. it could have a direct impact on every american as soon as in the next few weeks. and i'm not just shutting down a few national parks. there's a lot of apocalyptic talk about what will happen if the debt ceiling is not raised. and the u.s. goes into default on its debt. >> the implications for our economy, our fiscal policy, would be catastrophic. >> reporter: what does it mean to you if congress does not allow the u.s. government to borrow more money? by mid-may, expect the stock and bond market to plummet. they could impose a huge tax increase.

the following could be curtailed or cut off -- social security checks, medicare benefits, medicaid, military sallies, veteran benefits, student loan payments. >> default by the united states would precipitate a crisis worse than the one we just went through. >> reporter: so what's the problem, if house republicans say that any bill that will raise the debt ceiling needs to include spending cuts. >> the president says, i want you to send me a clean bill? guess what, mr. president. not a chance. there will not be an increase in the debt limit without something really, really big attached to it. >> reporter: how vicious could this fight get? it's the difference between a grade school slap fight and war. last week, the budget agreement was $38.5 billion in spending cuts. that's a stack of 100 bills that

would reach 2600 miles above the earth where satellite orbits. in order the make to it the end of next year, the debt ceiling will need to be raised about 50 times that amount, $1.9 trillion. that stack would reach more than halfway to the moon. >> really, the debt ceiling is going to be armageddon. >> reporter: and george, on wednesday, the president will outline his vision for debt reduction. what they call a balanced approach. it will include spending cuts. it will address savings in medicare and medicaid. it will also include increasing taxes on wealthy americans. >> and a group of republican and democrat senators expected to release a bipartisan budget this week. also in workashington, the president's top political adviser lashed out yesterday on donald trump. trump has been getting lots of attention and rising in the polls by questioning whether or not the president was born in hawaii, even though that claim has been thoroughly debunked.

and this weekend he seemed to get support this week from sarah palin. john be man is here with more on this. >> reporter: less than two months ago, not far from here, we heard sarah palin say the whole birther issue was a distraction. now a different tune. if question is, what's changed? the answer, donald trump. his money and his mouth. donald trump was on tv again with his relentless round-the-clock questioning of the president's birth records. >> people are trying to figure out why, why isn't he giving his birth certificate? >> reporter: now the efforts seem to have won a partial convert. mainly sarah palin. >> i appreciate that the donald wants to spend his resources in getting to the bottom of something that so interests him and many americans. more power to him. >> reporter: but rewind just two months. in february, this was her response when asked if she thought it was worth questioning the president's citizenship? >> i don't.

the birth certificate -- i think it's distracting. it gets annoying. >> reporter: now she seems decidedly less annoyed. >> if there's something that the president doesn't want people to see on that birth certificate -- >> reporter: she seems to be reverting to the old position that it's fair game to ask the president for his birth certificate. why? maybe it has to do with the surge in the polls. long ago, the president released a certificate of birth. which many said definitively proved that he was born in the u.s. as for the white house, what do they think of the hay that trump is causing? >> there's zero chance that donald trump would ever be hired by the american people to do this job. maybe a small part of the country believes these things. mainstream america thinks it's a side show.

>> reporter: that's more than we have heard from the white house say about this issue in a long, long time. they feel people in the country, there are some they will not be able to convince no matter what. >> john, i think they love the idea that donald trump now is driving the republican fields. they don't mind talking about donald trump. >> and the others are reacting to him. in that primary field. >> thanks. now let's go to jeff smith, in our new york station wabc, in for sam champion. >> george, all the ingredients coming together over the weekend. check this out -- over 600 reports of severe weather in the midwest. it started in north carolina, south carolina, eastern tennessee on saturday morning. it moved into mapleton. saturday afternoon, with the front moving in from the west. wisconsin, a lot of it happened in the day yesterday. this morning, potential tornadoes northeast of dallas. this system moves off to the east. the parameters for severe

weather not quite as strong as they were over the weekend. look at the warmth. near record warmth in atlanta. in the mid 70s in the big apple. your local forecast in just 30 seconds.

>> and next half hour, we'll talk about some big wild fires in parts of texas. robin? we're seeing pictures right now to from northern england, where prince william and kate middleton are taking time off to spend time with students. it's the royal couple's last public appearance before their big day. our nick watt is there braving the rain in the english countryside. nick, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, robin. no wild fires or tornadoes. but it's pouring rain. has been for hours. so cold i can barely feel my feet. excited schoolchildren around,

nothing can dampen the glamour and glow of this royal couple. this morning, it's the north of england and flag-waving crowds. kate and william here to open an academy and launch a prince's award season. this is the final stop on the mini tour of the nation that kate will one day rule as queen. >> this is what she looks like, how she walks, she talks. she's kate middleton. we think she's great. >> reporter: this morning, invitation intrigue is at fever pitch. we know that director guy ritchie will be there, but not his ex, madonna. william has invited four of his exes. and kate has invited two old flames. and we hear kate's uncle gary will come to the palace reception. and the chaff, anton, will

cater. white house incumbents, the obamas, are not invited. the queen has asked them over in may for a state visit. "the daily mail" said that joe albertson has been invited by prince charles. he's the friend of the bush and reagan clans. he owns tv stations and founded the politico newspaper. elton john is also coming, though probably not singing. and mr. bean, he's coming, too. hopefully not in character. and let's just look at kate one more time this morning. remember, this is the last we'll see of her until the wedding day. and the wedding is two weeks away, come friday, so the next time we see her, she'll be getting out of that car in front of westminster abbey. robin, we'll finally get to see that dress. >> hopefully, it will not be raining. what is the significance of this

being the final appearance before the big day, katie? >> well, robin, as you know, the couple have visited st. andrews, ireland, it's only fair that england get a little bit of this magic treatment as well. as nick said, it's pouring down with rain here. everyone is so excited to see this couple. kate looks phenomenal. she's wearing her hair half up and half down. the rumor is she might be wearing it like that for the day of the wedding itself. maybe this is a practice run. >> a little bit of a preview. i love to hear the little voices behind you. everyone is so excited. what will their life be like from now and the next 18 days before the wedding? >> manic would be the word i would use. i'm told that all week, there will be meetings to decide the seating plans.

as you know, we revealed the guest list at the weekend. the big question is where all those people will sit. quite a difficult task. william and kate will be locked down doing that all week. i think it will be busy. the dress is hanging up now in buckingham palace. all the fine details have been buttoned down. >> you mentioned the guest list. just a moment ago. what more, that's fascinated a lot of people, the guest list. >> it is a fascinating list. it really gives you an insight into their inner circle. not just the couple. all the usual suspects are there. they're all friends. but the prince of wales' friends. lots of very, very big names that have surprised people. the head of p.r. for audi has raised more than a few eyebrows. it's a fascinating list. the ex-boyfriends and ex-girlfriends is particularly interesting. the biggest surprise for me is

isabella, one of william's exes. he never actually quite managed to have her. >> there is a disco at the palace after the wedding? >> there will be a reception at the wedding. it will be for 650 people. the queen, i'm told, has only had 45 people to be able to invite. quite a small number. after that, the couple will go to st. james' palace and then, it's party time. >> knees up, as you say on that side of the pond. get out of the rain, katie. thank you. you can be a part of the royal wedding celebration. send us your wishes for will and kate in just three words. tune in to our royal wedding special at 4:00 a.m. eastern on april 29th. >> it will be a great big day. coming up, a "gma" exclusive. for the first time, the woman at the center of the brett favre controversy speaks out.

this cause. >> reporter: our exclusive interview aired tomorrow and wednesday on "gma." now, we turn to the intensifying manhunt on long island. police say new clues may have a background in law enforcement. in a moment, we'll speak to the mother of one of the victims. but first, andrea canning is here. that victim's sister says she received taunting phone calls, probably from the killer. >> reporter: can you imagine how horrible that would be. this girl was 15 years old when she received a phone call that was straight out of a horror movie. two years later, she lives in fear after her sister's body was discovered this past november. she's so scared, she asked we not identify her and put her in shadow. days after melissa bartholemy

went missing, her teenage sister said she got a series of phone calls. >> i don't know why he chose me. i don't know why i was chosen why i was taunted. >> reporter: the calls eerily came from her sister's cell phone. the man on the other send believed to be her killer. >> they were angry, taunting words. >> reporter: how scary was that? >> very scary. my heart would stop. i didn't know what to do mostly. >> reporter: did he say he had killed your sister on the phone? >> yeah. very frustrating. it broke my heart. >> reporter: how desperate were you on the calls to get information about where she could be? >> extremely desperate. her life depended on it. >> reporter: cell signals tracked the killer's calls to new york city. >> it's part of the game. it's part of the fantasy. it's part of the thrill for

them. >> reporter: crowded places like madison square garden and times square. clues suggest he may have experience in law enforcement. >> he used prepaid cell phones. he was on the phone for less than 3:00. >> reporter: police believe he could be responsible for up to a dozen murders. among them four prostitutes who all advertised on craig's list. their bodies found dumped in this beach community. four phew gods are yet to be identified. in a strange new twist, a report out this morning says one could be a baby. how scared are you now? >> i'm scared of my own protection. he was calling my phone. i have to be worried about, is that going to happen to me up with day? scared to walk out the door. >> reporter: do you think he's done killing? >> no. he's doing that many murders,

he's not going to stop. he obviously enjoys it. and he's sick in the head. >> reporter: and police may have linked four other unsolved prostitute murders in atlantic city to the same killer. some reports say they're focusing on a long island man. we didn't say what was this the phone calls for safety reasons. >> can't be too safe. we're joined by the mother of one of the victims. lynne, i'm so sorry for your loss. now after that after losing one daughter, to have to live with the fear of what might happen to your other daughter? >> i'm afraid all the time. i always have to know where my daughter is. i constantly call her. >> the first time he called he asked for melissa's little sister? >> yes. >> you have good reason to believe he had been stalking melissa for some time. he might know what amanda looks

like? >> we're afraid he does. we don't want her on camera at all. just in case. >> that makes an awful lot of sense. the more you learn about the phone calls, the more sick this man seems. for the longest time in first several phone calls to amanda he actually led her to believe that melissa might still be alive? >> right. he never said anything about what he had done to her. >> what more could you learn from these phone calls? >> there really wasn't much to learn. it was like he knew what he was going to say. and he really didn't give amanda any chance to talk. he kept the calls just the way he wanted them. >> and he would get off just in time so they couldn't be traced within the 3:00. >> exactly. >> one of the most chilling details, amanda described his

voice as calm and mel lowe through this? >> yes. >> almost as if he was playing a game? >> yes it's disturbing. >> one of the things that made the police believe this could be the killer is that he seemed to know details before the killing was quoted in the press? >> this madman's lethality is added to by technology. the information on melissa's cell phone has given him insight. everything about this monster points to a -- a very comfortable person with technology and the ability to use technology to his advantage. he stalked his victims in the cover of darkness. that's what the internet has done. >> did you have any idea what

melissa's life was like here in new york? >> no i had no idea. >> done at all. >> no. >> what was she telling you? >> she said she was dancing in a nightclub. when she first came here she worked as a hair stylist in a salon. >> the killer may have a background if law enforcement. is that what you believe right now? and what more can you tell us about the lead that the police may have of the long island man? >> i can't speculate as to whether or not he was a former member of law enforcement. he's bright. able to use technology. we know that he's done everything right to avoid capture. but -- i'll leave to it the police to form late conclusions as to whether or not he was in law enforcement. i wouldn't doubt it. but i think it would be a mistake to narrow the inquiry only to somebody who analysis that category.
