kalamazoo county, michigan, hit hard, as well, by at least one confirmed tornado. a confirmed ef-2. winds 135 miles an hour, ripping this fedex facility to shreds. workers inside were okay. but it was terrifying as it hit. ginger zee watching the tornado threat right now. this is serious, across ten states, then moving into the east. we'll get to the forecast. and alex perez in the storm zone tonight. >> violent tornado. violent tornado. >> reporter: another dangerous and potentially deadly night ahead -- >> it's getting bigger. >> reporter: -- with that multi-day severe weather outbreak now targeting new steps and towns. a life threatening tornado in southern illinois -- staff at our station wsil taking cover. >> i'm going to go ahead and run into that storm shelter as well. >> reporter: our nashville station wkrn tracking another tornado on the ground north of the city. >> i really want my friends in springfield to get down to the lowest level, center of a room. don't chance it. >> reporter: an ef-2 tornado -- winds at least 111 miles per hour -- ripping the roofs off these condos in hot springs, arkansas.

>> tornado. >> reporter: and the first ever tornado emergency -- >> oh, we have seen it. >> reporter: -- the absolute highest level of danger issued in the state of michigan. powerful winds taking down nearly every tree in this front yard in kalamazoo. at this mobile home community nearby -- >> good god, you guys made it out of there alive? >> reporter: homes smashed to bits. >> that hissing is gas. >> reporter: as many as a dozen people injured. part of the roof of this massive fedex facility collapsing. about fifty people were trapped inside. thankfully, all made it out safely. terrein taggart's clearing downed trees from his grandmother's house, telling our alex presha it's a miracle she's okay. >> your grandmother was home during this storm. >> actually, inside with a handicapped person. and she's elderly herself and no basement in the house. the garage was coming off the foundation. >> reporter: michigan's governor, gretchen whitmer, declaring a state of emergency. and david, in just the last two

days, we've seen more than 60 reported tornadoes. there are tornado and flood watches here in paducah and across the region tonight. those dangerous storms will continue well after dark. david? >> david: may is always a dangerous month. alex, thank you. let's get right to ginger zee tracking it all again tonight for us. hi, ginger. >> hi, david. the atmosphere, so hyper active this afternoon, and it will be as the sun sets and beyond. so, let's go through the timing eventually here, but first, the immediate threat, the watches on the map. warnings, too, from missouri through southern illinois and indiana. western kentucky, much of tennessee, and you start to see them bleed into alabama, georgia, and they've now been added all the way back to texas. so, dallas/fort worth tonight in a watch. tyler, as well. that's coming later this evening. the severe thunderstorm watches are there, and the flood watches for louisville and anyone in green there. locally, you could see up to four inches fall very fast. so, let's time it out. you see how the scattered storms that are happening all over kentucky and tennessee, well, they start to congeal a bit.

that line back to dallas happens kind of late evening to about midnight. look what time it is when it erupts over northern mississippi, alabama, and western north carolina. that's 4:00 a.m. so, you're waking up to the thunderstorms that could have damaging winds and still some isolated tornadoes. tomorrow, more damaging winds all across the south and southeast, david. >> david: right into the evening hours. and very early tomorrow morning. ginger zee, thank you. we turn to the other breaking headline just as we came on this evening. congresswoman marjorie taylor greene forcing a vote to try to oust house speaker mike johnson, surprising some of her republican colleagues by doing it so suddenly, late this afternoon. well, that vote moments ago. the boos inside the chamber. and rachel scott always on the hill. >> reporter: tonight, right-wing congresswoman marjorie taylor greene stunning her fellow republicans by forcing a vote to remove house speaker mike johnson. >> the form of the resolution is as follows -- declaring the office of speaker of the house of representatives to be vacant.

[ booing ] >> reporter: greene had been threatening this move for weeks, angry that johnson worked with democrats to approve new funding for ukraine. >> speaker johnson's tenure is defined by one self-serving characteristic -- when given a choice of advancing republican priorities, or allying with the democrats to preserve his own personal power, johnson regularly chooses to ally himself with democrats. >> reporter: but greene had little support among her fellow republicans, even donald trump urging her to back off. she did it anyway. today, her gop colleagues exasperated. >> the reality of this is -- this is like the congressional version of a temper tantrum. >> most of us, by the time we turn 12-years-old, figure out tantrums don't actually work, and apparently not everyone has gotten the memo. >> reporter: but greene's move tonight went nowhere, crashing and burning within an hour. >> hopefully this is the end of the personality politics and the frivolous character

assassination that has defined the 118th congress. it's regrettable, it's not who we are as americans, and we're better than this. >> reporter: an overwhelming number of democrats stepping in to save johnson, joining with the majority of house republicans. the question tonight -- will democrats be willing to save him a second time, should this happen again? >> david: so, let's get right to rachel scott on the hill. already one of the most chaotic congresses in modern times, as you know. as you point out, the democrats joining many republicans in saving mike johnson, but of course, the question, will they keep doing this? >> reporter: yes, and david, republicans have a razor thin majority in the house. house speaker mike johnson could only afford to lose a single republican, 11 voted against him. so, really it was democrats that had to step in and save his job. the democratic leader hakeem jeff rips says he wanted to prevent the house from plunging into chaos once again, but tonight, democrats say they are not making any promises that they would step in and save johnson a second time if this happens again, david. >> david: all right, rachel scott up on the hill for us.

thank you. there's breaking news from president biden tonight. what he has just said about israel. tonight, israel frustrated and, quote, disappointed that the president has halted the shipment of thousands of bombs, as israel moves is into rafah. just a moment ago, president saying, of any rafah invasion, we're not going to supply the weapons. martha raddatz with late reporting. >> reporter: tonight, with israeli forces pummeling targets and expanding operations in rafah, the u.s., for the first time, acknowledging a major policy shift -- pausing a shipment of thousands of bombs to israel. late today, president biden giving his strongest warning yet. >> civilians have been killed in gaza as a consequence of those bombs, but it's just wrong. we're not going to supply the weapons and the artillery shells used. i've made it clear to bibi and the war cabinet. they're not going to get our support if they go into these

population centers. >> reporter: israel is growing increasingly frustrated with the u.s. over the decision. the concern is that the could be used in rafah, where more than a million civilians are sheltering. 0 firm officials pointing specifically to the destruction caused by 2,000-pound bombs in civilian areas. bombs that can flatten buildings, their destructive power reaching hundreds of yards beyond a target. bombs responsible for the deaths of thousands of civilians. the president's statement and the movement into rafah putting pressure on all sides to reach a deal on a cease-fire, with the lives of many in gaza and the fates of more than 100 hostages seized by hamas in the terror attack on israel hanging in the balance, but david, there is little progress yet. david? >> david: martha raddatz, who continues to report on this war for us.

martha, thank you. the president's comments coming during an interview conducted in wisconsin today. the president was there, of course, one of the key battleground states that will decide this election. the new poll just out tonight, biden/trump in that state. and president biden was there with a major announcement from microsoft and american jobs. here's mary bruce. >> reporter: president biden traveling to the critical battleground of wisconsin today, where a new poll has him leading donald trump by the slimmest of margins. biden there to announce microsoft will build a $3.3 billion artificial intelligence center on the very same site of a failed trump era project that was supposed to create tens of thousands of jobs, but never got off the ground. >> it's going to be transformative, not just here, but worldwide. not only a significant invexm invexment investment in racine, but the people of racine. >> reporter: the microsoft project is expected to create 2,300 union construction jobs, and more than 2,000 permanent positions. six years ago at the same location, then-president trump heralded a $10 billion

investment by electronics manufacturer foxconn, promising to bring 13,000 jobs to the community. >> this is the eighth wonder of the world. >> reporter: but the project fizzled. the field where trump once broke ground with golden shovels now empty. >> they dug a hole with those golden shovels, and then they fell into it. foxconn turned out to be just that, a con. go figure. >> reporter: biden eager to sell his economic accomplishments to skeptical voters. >> my predecessor made promises which he broke more than kept, and left a lot of people behind in communities like racine. on my watch, we make promises, and we keep promises, and we leave no one behind. >> reporter: now, work on this new microsoft project, we're told, is already under way. president biden certainly well aware of that new poll out today showing him leading donald trump in wisconsin 50% to 44% in a

two-way race. meanwhile, donald trump has been complaining to reporters that he's stuck in court instead of out on the campaign trail. he did have the day off today, but instead of campaigning, he's hosting a dinner tonight at mar-a-lago for investors in his digital trading cards. david? >> david: mary, thank you. meantime, there was an eye-opening headline tonight involving presidential candidate robert f. kennedy jr. "the new york times" reporting on a 2012 deposition where he said doctors once found a parasite, a dead worm, in his brain. tonight, what his campaign is now saying about this, and here's kayna whitworth. >> reporter: tonight, new questions about the health of independent presidential candidate robert f. kennedy jr., after he claimed a doctor discovered a dead worm in his brain. according to "the new york times," kennedy testified in a 2012 deposition he experienced "memory loss," saying "i have cognitive problems, clearly." kennedy said one of the doctors said it could have been caused "by a worm that got into my

brain and ate a portion of it and then died." >> most people will have at least some degree of cognitive impairment, just because of the inflammation that goes on in the brain when a parasite has made a home for itself there, but there's really varying degrees to how severe that might be. >> reporter: kennedy testified he also suffered from mercury poisoning around the same time. doctors interviewed by abc news say both conditions could cause a wide range of health problems, but for most people, the impacts are often short-lived. the 70-year-old has touted himself as a physically fit alternative to president joe biden, 81, and former president trump, 77 -- the oldest candidates to ever run for the white house, even posting videos of himself doing pushups and skiing with an olympic gold medalist. >> i go hike and i hike uphill, a mile and a half up, and a mile and a half down with my dogs, and i do my meditations. and then i go to the gym, and i go to the gym for 35 minutes. >> reporter: and david, kennedy's campaign tells us he did have a parasite, but that the issue was resolved more than

ten years ago, and that questioning his health is a hilarious suggestion, given his competition. david? >> david: kayna, thank you. this evening, the scare for middle school students in san jose. first responders rushing to a hazmat scare at their school. fire officials say at least eight children and two teachers were sickened at sunrise middle school. two students were hospitalized. the problem believed to be linked to chemicals in a science classroom. tonight here, the staggering toll of the opioid epidemic on children in this country. new research finds between 2011 and 2021, 321, 566 children lost a parent to a drug overdose. the rate of that loss, more than doubled over the decade. this study reported in "jama psychiatry." when we come back here tonight, the boeing 767 forced to land without nose gear. also tonight, the stabbing spree on a cruise ship. a crew member has been arrested. among the victims tonight, a 75-year-old passenger. in a moment. rance plan that's smart now...
