what are they saying >> yeah boris aftershocks are a real, real problem whenever you see a very large earthquake. and as someone who lives in a very seismically active country, japan, i can tell you that these aftershocks can be just as terrifying, just as traumatizing as that first initial earthquake because you never know when the shaking is going going to stop. so taiwanese authorities have warned people in the island that we could be seeing several aftershocks in the coming days some measuring magnitudes of 6.5 to 7.0 is so very, very significant. also, we have to remember that this earthquake happened just a day before tomb sweeping day, which is it's a day in much of the chinese speaking part of the world when people visit their relatives tombs and pay their respects, say hello to their loved ones. but because we see these aftershocks take place across the island, boris many and taiwan have to cancel their plans. and it said shelter at home as they deal with the aftermath of a very powerful earthquake most powerful that the island has seen in a quarter of a century, boras, hanako montgomery. thank you so much for that update. brianna >> dangerous weather threatening communities across the country again today with blizzard warnings and parts of the midwest. this first week of april, a large part of the country is recovering from yesterday's destructive storm system, shredding the neighborhoods from georgia to illinois, it's bond at least three tornadoes and injured at least ten people in indiana. it disrupted power for several hundred thousand customers as well. and the winds were so strong, you can see right there in this video on a kentucky, it knocked a college student to the ground and then an indiana one driver recounting how nearly all of the windows of her car blew out moments after she received a tornado warning gravel in my head. there's glass in my head, you know, whatever and mud. there's still mud behind my ears. there's cotton in my car from somewhere like he just there. it's almost overstimulation of senses is everything so loud and powerful? it's like nothing i've ever experienced before >> cnn's athena jones isn't ohio with a look at the damage there >> pi there are the ohio valley has been struck by two strong storms back-to-back starting tuesday morning and continuing through the night. i want to show you some of the wind damage from these storms. this is the historic currchar bridge dates back to the 19th century. you can see extensive damage. a lot of repairs want to be needed before these storms, this bridge had a roof. you can see now there is no roof to be seen. in fact, some part of it is flung over to the side here in this creek bed, walking over here, we see some of the broken trees. this is what has led to some of the power outage which is in the region, thousands of people without power in ohio, kentucky, west virginia we've seen creeks like this one that with a water rising the water has begun to go down, but we know that there was also some flooding and now there were two reports are two tornado warnings in adams county where we are right now last night, national weather service teams are going to be on the ground found assessing the damage. and so we'll have to wait for any official confirmation from them that tornadoes struck down here. a thena jones, cnn, west union ohio thanks to athena for that force. >> so the latest on where this dangerous weather is headed, let's go out to cnn meteorologist chad myers. so chad, what's in the forecast? it appears the system is moving east. is that right? >> east and south? because that's where the cold front is right now. so yes, 23 tornadoes yesterday in that warm sector. now this is the cool sector where in fact, there are snowflakes coming down, but the two areas were concerned about today, really the delmarva and also parts of florida, including like kissimmee in tampa some of the big cities here around orlando, no warnings, at least not at this point. but we could see them because we do have tornado watches still in effect. they're a brand new tornado watch was just issued just east of dc. this would be eastern maryland, the eastern shore all the way down toward richmond can have to watch as that line of whether tries to make an impact there later on today. now i widen the view for you and yes. >> the white is snow. >> all the way into illinois, blizzard warnings for parts of the up of michigan, flood watches on the warm side where there's an awful lot of rainfall. and then obviously the wind event, seeing some slowdowns across the new york city airports because winds gusting over 45 miles it's per hour that won't go away anytime soon. i put you ahead here to 7:00 tonight. rain and snow kind of mixing in chicago. there goes the weather off the east coast still probably a little storming in new york city, but other than that, we start to wind this thing down and we work our way into the next storm. which could be next monday, which i don't know if you've heard or not, but there's an eclipse that i'd be going on next monday so we'll keep an eye on it. >> yeah, hopefully, it doesn't obscure the zone of totality were folks can most enjoy the eclipse chad myers, thank you so much. a quick reminder. you can also enjoy the eclipse coverage right here on cnn. it starts at about 1:00. brianna, hey, you see it there, eclipse across >> america on your screen. so the prosecution is laying into the judge in the trump classified documents case, any pointed new filings, special counsel, jack smith harshly rebukes trump appointee when a judge, aileen cannon, arguing that her understanding of the cases, quote, fundamentally flawed. he said her recent requests for jury instructions embraced trump's defense claims and would quote, distort the trial cnn's paula reid is on this for us. paula, pretty interesting to read with jack smith put in here, walk us through canvas it's requests for jury instructions and how the special counsel's responding >> it >> clearly, the special counsel >> not happy with judge cannon, right now. now, she is, of course, a trump appointee. she's only been on the bench for a few years now. she is an inexperienced judge in her approach has come under scrutiny not only for decisions that she has made, but also so for the decisions that she hasn't yet made, she has a backlog of over a dozen motions that she hasn't yet weighed in on. but here, she asked to both sides in this case to draw up jury instructions for potential jury in an eventual trial related to the presidential records act. now the presidential records act was passed after nixon resigned hind, and it lays out how government records should be handled at the end of an administration and trump has tried to argue, among his many explanations for why he had these documents down in mar-a-lago that these things were his to keep. now, in one of these versions, they were supposed to just lay out which documents could be personal here, which ones? the property of the government. but in another version of these instructions, can and ask the government what would happen if the jury is just instructed that he had the right to keep these and look, the special counsel, not having it. they said, quote, there is no basis in law or fact for that legal presumption. and the court should reject trump's effort to invent one as a vehicle to inject the presidential records act into this case, the court should be aware at the outset that trump's entire effort to rely on the pra is not based on any facts. now, we're still waiting for of course, a judge, aileen cannon to set a trial date here we were in court well over a month ago when she heard arguments from both sides on that issue. and again, just one of many decisions outstanding from judge aileen cannon. but here, special counsel did signal that if she were to give any of these instructions to the jury, that they would likely appeal, which of course would have the effect, but further delaying this case. >> yeah. talk about this. what would this mean for an appeal >> so >> if they're saying, look, if you're really going to try to inject the presidential records act into this case. we will likely move to appeal this. take it to an appellate court for review because they don't believe that this has any place in this case. it was interesting, they actually reveal two additional evidence that they've gathered in the course of this investigation. and they said, we have evidence of trump's record practices in the white house, and there's no indication that he believed that any of this was personal. so the thing is if they were to appeal and if her decisions here right, that would likely take months and that would delay this case. but look better as of right now, we're still waiting for her to set a firm trial date. this case was sort of penciled on the calendar for late may, were in court over a month ago or both sides weighed in on just how long they would like to see this delayed. of course, this special counsel wants to move quickly. trump's team wants to wait as long as possible in the hopes that he will be reelected. and then he can make both of his federal cases go away. what we're really seeing here right now is a lot of this is the product of inexperience. this backlog of decisions, even though in court when we're with aileen cannon, you can see she is making an effort to try to at least appear to be tough on both sides when you see the things that she is doing, the decisions that she is making, those that she has made, and the requests that she's making. the lawyers, there are a lot of questions about her handling of this case. >> all right. we know you're keeping an eye on them, paula reid, thank you for that report. >> coming up >> the white house is reiterating and support for israel after the deadly strike that killed seven aid workers with world central kitchen plus a city in oklahoma is putting ties with one of its council members over his ties to white supremacist groups and bird flu has halted production at the nation's largest producer, producer of fraud fresh eggs. what is this going to mean for your food prices in the check?
