Disaster in Oklahoma
The Oklahoma town of Moore was devastated this week after an E-F5 tornado. That's the most severe category on the scale used to measure storm strength. Two elementary schools were destroyed and the path of the destruction has been estimated at two miles wide and 22 miles long. ABC's David Muir reports from Oklahoma.
Storm Shelters
Some schools in Oklahoma do have safe rooms that were built after prior natural disasters, but Briarwood and Plaza Towers elementary were not among those chosen to receive that funding. Safe rooms can offer much-needed protection during storms, but there are also other measures homeowners can take to protect themselves. ABC's Jim Ryan has the details.
Jodi Arias
Earlier this month an Arizona jury found Jodi Arias guilty of first degree murder for killing her one-time boyfriend, Travis Alexander. But this week a judge declared a mistrial in the sentencing phase of her trial, after the jury couldn'tt agree on whether to sentence her to life in prison or death. ABC's Ryan Owens sat down with Arias for a revealing interview while she awaits her sentence.
Ibragim Todashev
There was a new twist this week in the Boston Marathon bombing investigation and we turn now to ABC's Aaron Katersky, who has been following this story from the very beginning. Aaron, this new development involves a man in Florida. What do we know about him?
Sole Survivors
Imagine being the sole survivor of a deadly airplane crash. Would you consider it good luck , bad luck, or divine intervention? One such survivor was a four-year-old girl at the time her plane went down, and now, years later, she's speaking out for the first time. Here's ABC's Alex Perez.
After Midnight
In 1995, Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy starred in the romantic classic "Before Sunrise." They continued their love affair in 2004 with "Before Sunset." And now they're back on the big screen to explore the relationship between their characters, Jesse and Celine, in the new film "Before Midnight.."
