survive. then you see this. we don't know where the child is but we hope the child and family survived. that's the hope that keeps the rescue workers going right now trying to find people who managed to escape the storm's wrath. rescue workers in joplin, missouri are digging through the debris piece by piece looking for survivors. sunday's monster tornado slammed into the town head on, killing at least 116 people. it was the nation's deadliest single twister in more than half a century and the second major tornado disaster in less than a month. >> it's just pure devastation. you just --you --you can't believe it. >> reporter: block after block, houses are demolished, cars crumpled like toys. sarah walked out alive but shaken. >> i got the kids in, then i swoops everything off the bed and put a mattress over us and held it down really tight. >> reporter: here at st. john's hospital more harrowing stories of survival.

this building suffered some of the worst damage but brave staffers are being credited with saving 180 patients. >> i had two pregnant nurses that dove under gurneys. i was so worried that they were hurt but they showed up and they worked all night long. so it's a testimony to human spirit. >> reporter: joplin is still largely without power. forecasters are calling for more violent weather today. >> i know that a lot of people are wondering how they will get through the coming days or months. >> reporter: this morning in london, president obama stayed -- said he was heartbroken by the disaster and promised the nation's full support. >> the american people are by your side. we're going to stay there until every home is repaired, until every neighborhood is rebuilt, until every business is back on its feet. >> reporter: the president will visit the area on sunday. the american red cross set up a shelter with the capacity

>> where do they go? >> reporter: population of joplin the fourth largest city in missouri 50,000 people according to some official, at least a quarter to a third of the city destroyed by the tornado. those people who did not go to the red cross shelter only about 100 went there, they are with family, with friends, they are in churches, community organizations have opened up their doors. they are coping. well, let's just be frank. they're in shock. they're sad. but on the radio last night i heard people saying they are also grateful to be alive so i think there is a huge sense of thanksgiving to have survived this horrible, horrible ordeal. >> i guess. well, there's a lot of faith there as we know in the midwest. we wish them the best. randall pinkston from joplin, thank you. for continuing coverage on the deadly tornado, just head to our website. we have more information there at cbssf.com. in other news, robbers knocked an elderly man unconscious and ransacked his home in menlo park.

it happened sunday night on windermere avenue. police say that two people kicked open a side door to the garage and then knocked down the door to the kitchen. a man in a dark hooded sweatshirt told an 88-year-old resident there not to move and then hit him in the head with an unknown object. police say it's not clear what was stolen. right now police think this was a random attack. this morning, bizarre claims against a woman who allegedly skipped napped her own granddaughter from knight seven. the 4-month-old was reunited with her mother. the grandmother took a cab and bus to the girl's home from southern california snatched the baby then took a taxi back down to southern california. there are reports the grandmother had been pretending she was pregnant even threw herself a baby shower and wanted to pass the baby off as her own child. she is now in l.a. county jail awaiting extradition up to contra costa county. all of the officers on bart's police force might soon

be armed with tasers. sharon chin is in oakland to explain this all stems from the deadly shooting of oscar grant. sharon, good morning. reporter: good morning. this has to do with lessons learned from the oscar grant killing. the bart board is considering making sure that each officer is assigned a taser. that is actually one of the recommendations from bart's outside consultants after the shooting death of oscar grant in 2009 captured on cell phone video. in that case, officer johannes mehserle said he thought he was firing his taser at the unarmed man instead of his gun. he was convicted last year of involuntary manslaughter. right now, bart has 60 tasers so the officers have to check them out if they need them. there aren't enough to go around so the bart board is deciding whether to buy 130 tasers at a cost of $141,000 so that every officer will be assigned one. bart managers say if officers have their own taser to use, they will be more familiar with them and they will have another nonlethal tool in dealing with violent suspects. so bart's board is going to take

up this issue of whether or not to buy more tasers on thursday morning. >> thank you, sharon chin in oakland. live pictures now from chopper 5 over the city of san leandro over an apparent house fire. you can see some of the smoke and a number of apparatus there as the san leandro fire department is on the scene. we don't know much, how it started or what the situation is exactly on the street right now but there's an apparent house fire there. and as soon as we get more information, we'll pass it along to you. 6:07. traffic and weather, let's go ahead and start with kristy seifkin and a look at our forecast. the forecast with a little sunshine but that will be changing. >> it will be changing. so get outside and enjoy today because it's going to be big changes in store for tomorrow. temperatures pretty mild as you make your way outside today. 42 napa, 49 concord and livermore, 47 pacifica and 49 in the city. those changes we can see here

nice weather is this area of high pressure that's temporarily holding. we are going to see big changes in store as this low slides to the east and brings us cooler conditions and also brings us some wet weather. so today, temperatures are enjoyable. get outside and enjoy sunshine, 70 in fremont, milpitas 71. 57 in daly city. over to the east bay seeing a high of 69 in san ramon today, 65 alameda, 66 richmond, 75 in antioch and brentwood. livermore 72 today. certainly keeping it cool at the coast breezy there today. 57 stinson beach, 68 san anselmo, 75 in fairfield and 70 for vallejo and benicia. so dry weather today and then changes in store late morning as the rain makes its way into the bay area. we'll dry out nicely though for thursday and friday. you will see the weekend isn't too warm. only in the low 70s in our warmest locations for saturday and sunday and then we'll

and the picture that you're seeing here is what you would normally see on the glass here. now, normally it's a gleaming wall of glass that stands about 10 feet tall and 50 feet long. however, over the past six months, vandals have smashed several of the panels. the city of san jose just can't afford to fix the $40,000 repair here. the city is dealing with its tenth straight year of deficit and this year is the worst at $115 million. dozens of police officers have gotten pink slips and as many as 64 firefighter positions are set to be eliminated. mayor chuck reed is calling for a council vote today to declare a fiscal and public safety emergency. and he has a proposal for dramatic retirement and pension reforms including raising the age of eligibility for full benefits to 60 years old for fire and police and 65 for everyone else and capping the city's contribution for new employees at 9% of base salary and 50% of the total cost. however, this is too late for the shattered veterans memorial. it will not be repaired in time

for memorial day. >> on the other hand, it was like shattering in the heart, as well. as the glass shattered, it really tore to the heart. this means so much to so many people. >> reporter: and the council vote is set for later on this morning. back to you guys. >> has there within any fundraising or has anyone stepped up to help out the cause at all? >> reporter: some private groups have raised about half the money about $20,000. they are still looking to hit up some corporations and some other private donors so they are making some headway on that but still, it's going to take some time and this is not new. this happens every now and then at this memorial. so they are looking at ways of making it more vandal-resistant and coming one a different design. >> that's the sign of the times. too bad. kiet do live in san jose, thank you. 6:23. could there be a san francisco

chopper shots from san bruno. let's go to our maps. live look at the bay bridge, there was a stall on the upper deck just west of the tunnel. they go go ahead and clear that but traffic was stacking up on the upper deck from the "s" curve towards san francisco. and now they turned the metering lights on so now we have a big backup behind the pay bates extending to the 880 overcrossing so, you know, just your usual stuff through here, now incidents, all lanes re-opened. all the approaches to the bay bridge so far, so good 20 minutes not too bad down the freeway from the carquinez bridge to the maze. and here's live look at the nimitz. 880 through oakland no issues through here. hayward all the way towards downtown. looks great, about 15 minutes in either direction. and the golden gate bridge, looks great here, as well. the marin county ride no delay right now from into the all the way down into san francisco. and we'll show you one more camera, the antioch bridge looks great but if you are coming down westbound highway 4 it starts to get slow once you reach a street. remember kcbs, our radio partners, at 740-am and 106.9- fm.

that's your traffic and weather. back to you guys >> thank you. 6:47. you might notice a new look if you use yahoo's email service. and also get ready, higher prices for a cup of coffee -- that's terrible news! that's terrible. >> coffee costing more? jason brooks with kcbs and cbsmoneywatch.com is the guy behind us. what about the coffee. >> reporter: i'm not behind the increase! just want to make that clear. [ laughter ] >> reporter: it's another painful reality of what grocery companies are going through with rising costs for different commodities. coffee beans have shot up in price over the past year for a number of reasons. higher demand as well as bad weather affecting worldwide crops. schmuckers is raising prices on its brands including folger's, dunkin' donuts, grocery store brand, and mill stone by 11%. this is the fourth increase by them on those particular brands in just the past year. they raised them 10% earlier

this year, 9% last august. so we're really watching our grocery bills go up as companies try to make up for those higher costs and they have to pass them on to consumers at some point as their profit margins get squeezed. yahoo is hoping to tap into the social networking to get more people to stay on its site longer. it already started to revamp its email service last year. but it put it in testing phase. now it's going to start rolling it out for its entire 277 million users in the coming weeks. and in some of the main upgrades include being able to post to twitter and facebook in your yahoo email box. and you will be able to chat with your friends in twitter and facebook doing that, as well. there are some other upgrades, faster, bigger attachments in your e-mails and also cleaning up junk mail a little better. the key for yahoo is holding on to all of those users so they stay on their sites rather than going to facebook or twitter so they can get better money from digital ad sales. stock market trying to come

back after a rough day yesterday. european debt jitters sent the dow lower by 131 points yesterday. market looking to bounce back a little bit this morning, dow up by 16 points, nasdaq higher by one, s&p up by 3. oil prices rebounding up another $1.50 after they fell yesterday. they are still under $100 a barrel, frank and sydnie. >> thank you, jason. start savoring saving your pennies for the next cup of coffee. thank you, jason brooks with kcbs and cbsmoneywatch.com. barnes & noble set to make a special announcements and microsoft rolling out some new smart phones. and with more on that here's brian cooley editor at large with cnet. [overlapping speakers] >> okay, iphone, smart phone, droid phone, microsoft? >> you don't think of microsoft and smart phones at least not until you're prompted from a little bit. they are coming from behind. they have been making smart phones for seven or eight years but they don't have the mine

share. people think about other brands. so today in new york in about 10 minutes they are going to show off 500 new features of windows phone. probably haven't heard of that either? >> no. >> it's their version. ios which runs the iphone or android which runs the android phone. it's their operating system for phones. you can see it there. no one has ever seen it because they have a small market share but they are going to try to raise the profile today and become a contender and they may roll out we hear as many as a handful or two of new phones, actual handsets, that run this operating system. >> what do you think? >> do we need 500 new features? >> do we need another player in the smart phone businesses? you have android, iphone, break berry, web os from hp and now microsoft in here. we have a five field that has to come down to three players but don't count out microsoft easily. >> people are so easted to their operating systems. >> there is -- used to their operating system. >> there is a familiarity

quotient. it doesn't equate to the windows desktop but people think it does. that's a good marketing position. >> barnes & noble, the nook is trying to battle the kindle. they are the android to where the kindle is the iphone. they are rolling out some new features that should bring we think a new level of connectivity, also touchscreen on their gray scale version. they have two versions one color, one gray skate. we are seeing the gray scale there. it's going to get a new level of touch interface. it's going to get a lower price, 139, possibly less. realize that the cheapest kindle right now is $114. it has a few ads in it. that's a price point that barnes can't equal right now so they have to get in the low price. and my prediction is a year from now these gray scale readers, not the color ones but the gray scale ones, might be free if you just buy a certain number of books a year. remember the old book club? columbia records? let's not date ourselves too

much here. [ laughter ] >> you know, i have one of the first kindles and you know, i like it. >> you don't want to replace it? >> no. >> it's a stable product that does what you bought it for. it's not like smart phones that are always fading fast. the reader market is more stable. harder to leave. >> if you get a free kindle because you buy enough books that might be an incentive. >> a lot of folks are buying tablets instead of readers. there is a bigger market share there. >> they are almost one and the same. >> you can get a kindle app on a tablet, for example. so this is a battle they have to make and they have to make them cheaper to get the readers to print. you can't put more features in there. it's a different kind of device. >> brian cooley the editor at large -- >> something week. >> take care. >> good stuff. our time now 6:52. a bay area man flushes his class ring down the toilet. how he got it back 72 years later. >> and he is wearing it. >> plus a veteran memorial

vandalized.. just days before memorial day weekend. live in san jose welcome back. time now 6:54 5. a san jose veterans memorial vandalized just days before memorial day weekend. >> kiet do is live in san jose to explain why the city just can't fix it right now. kiet, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this has become one of the most visible symbols of the city's budge problems here. the veterans memorial in downtown san jose typically, this thing is gorgeous, you can see right through it and the flags behind it. but now it's been boxed up in plywood and covered one a canvas print because vandals hit it just a couple of weeks ago. normally it's a gleaming wall of glass about 10 feet tall, 50 feet long. but the vandals smashed one of the panels and the city of san jose just cannot afford to pay the $40,000 repair bill. that's because the city is dealing with its tenth straight year of deficits and this one is the biggest at $115 million. dozens of police officers have gotten pink slips, many firefighters positions set to be eliminated. mayor chuck reed is calling today for a fiscal and public safety emergency.

he will have a vote on a pension reform, part of which will raise retirement age, but for the memorial here is will be too late to fix it by the holiday weekend. >> on the other hand it was like shattering in the heart as well as the glass shattered, really tearing the to the heart. this means so much to so many people. >> reporter: and the city council will be voting on major pension reform, trying to pass that bill later on this morning. sydnie? >> a little bit of broken glass won't keep the crowds away though this weekend. kiet do in san jose, thank you. 6:57. let's get you out the door with a little traffic and weather. kristy seifkin? how are you? >> well. >> how are you? >> i'm well. [ laughter ] >> we have the color going, a little sunshine. >> we all look like easter eggs. the pink, purple and yellow. i guess it's appropriate. this is going to be the one nice day we have this week before things go downhill for tomorrow, rain back in the forecast again. i know i hate to be the bearer

of bad news, but cooler temperatures as well dropping down into the highway 60s in our warmest -- high 60s in our warmest spots tomorrow. but good news, more sunshine thursday and friday. wild your holiday is rain-free for now it will be unseasonably cool for this time year with temperatures only in the low 70s in our warmest spots. so get outside and enjoy the sunshine today if you have a chance. how's traffic, elizabeth? >> let's go out to chopper 5. there is a scene of this accident still out there. there's been some confusion over where the location of this is. it is in san bruno and it's southbound 280 on the connector ramp to eastbound 380. you can see chp is out there blocking a lane so unfortunately, it is really slow right now on southbound 280. we have taken several calls from the kcbs phone force. they say it's jammed from westboro boulevard. so watch out for that. southbound 280 is just yeah, not looking too good. so 101 a better alternate. that's your traffic. back to you >> thank you.

quan you believe it? lost and found -- can you believe it? lost and found 72 years later. >> a vallejo man is wearing a ring he hasn't seen in decades. 90-year-old jesse mattos flushed his class ring down a toilet from dunsmuir high school right down the old toilet. he never expected to see it again but recently a dunsmuir city worker found the ring backed up in a sewer line. did a little research and gave mattos a call. he then traveled to vallejo to deliver the ring in person. there it is. >> can you imagine? >> ingenerally. >> wow. >> 70 years. >> before we leave you, this morning, we have a special congratulations. [ laughter ] >> to kristy seifkin. >> you guys are so sweet! >> she is graduating. she is getting her master's degree, valedictorian friday. congratulations to you. >> i'm going to cry! thank you, guys. >> wonderful. >> very excited. it's been fabulous to be with you guys and wonderful way to transition from school into cbs here. >> and you're off to
