tell me about it. oh, my gosh, scary. it did, it scared me, because of the wind. you know, and i kept saying, we re going to lose the power. reporter: and they did. bob and arlene made it through the storm, but the cold with no heat was too much to handle. 54 degrees is not warm enough for him. he said, i ve got to get out of here, i m having trouble breathing, i ve got to get out. reporter: so they joined 300 others here at this red cross shelter on cape cod. their pup was welcome too. we re glad to have a place to go. reporter: and with 40 cats and dogs lining the locker room of this high school turned shelter she seems to be comfortable and our house is 38 degrees. so she was like a little block of ice. reporter: dana and dana, father and son, couldn t believe how cold it got after the storm. we ve been on the cape 27 years. never had to leave the house when there was a storm. finally my son said to me, dad, it s 19 degrees. reporter: dana couldn t feel his feet. i couldn t feel them for like a few hours. so i was scared. reporter: tonight bob and arlene are grateful for a warm place to sleep. as much i d rather go home, but this is the next best place to be. the hearty families of cape cod, we hope they re home soon. ginger, you were telling us there s two other threats you re watching tonight. david, that first headline we have to get to is the most life-threatening. already a tornado. i have a picture to show you. just got off the phone with the storm chaser who took this picture in hattiesburg, mississippi. he was facing southern mississippi university when he took this. this incredible picture and video already coming out. at least ten tornadoes reported, five injured and damage to homes and businesses. we ll be on there throughout the night. but another storm i need to let you know about, on top of that, blizzard warnings and storm warnings all throughout the northern plains. abc s meteorologist there for us every step of the way. ginger, our thanks to you. we ll turn to washington where they re preparing for the president s state of the union address this week. as reena ninan reports this week, it will be much different from what we heard at the inauguration. reporter: that s right. unlike what we heard during the inauguration, a vision for the future, what we ll hear tuesday night will sound more like this. investing in the next generation of manufacturing jobs of tomorrow that s my plan for jobs. reporter: the president will also ring alarm bells over automatic spending cuts in defense and education, slated to start march 1. and push for stricter gun laws. but the pressure will also be on rising republican star senator marco rubio. who will deliver the response. rubio was a much talked about potential vp candidate last year. something david muir asked about on the campaign trail. i think if i do a good job as a senator, i ll have other opportunities inside and outside politics in the future. i don t know what they are, but i ll have them. you ve got to be thinking about it, we heard the freudian slip. if i do a good job as vice president i m sorry. [ laughter ] it wasn t a freudian slip. reporter: he wasn t picked for vice president, but he might be eyeing something bigger. the next step, doing well tuesday night. a lot watching him, along with the president. reena, thank you. and abc news will carry the coverage of the president s state of the union address live tuesday evening at 9:00 p.m. eastern. diane and george right here. now tonight to the widow of legendary penn state coach joe paterno, fighting back against the official report of the scandal that ended her husband s career. she s talking exclusively with katie couric about the report. with a first look right here tonight, here s abc s john schriffen. reporter: for the first time since the penn state sex scandal broke, we re hearing from sue paterno, the widow of joe paterno, in this exclusive interview that will air tomorrow on katie. what was your reaction when you first heard about this, the allegations that jerry sandusky had molested boys? horror. disbelief. it is still hard to accept. but when i read the first charge, i actually got physically ill. i couldn t read any more for a couple days. reporter: after the university commissioned an investigation led by former fbi chief louis freeh, his report claimed paterno knew what was going o but cared more about his football team than reporting the abuse to police. our lives are about children and making them better, not hurting them. so it s vile is probably the best word i can think of. she s defending the legacy of joe paterno. in this interview that coincides with the release today of a new report commissioned by the paterno family. it claims the initial investigation, presented to the penn state board of trustees, has no evidence that paterno deliberately covered up the incidents of child molestation. thanks and we ll all be looking for that interview on katie. in the meantime, a chain of change of command in afghanistan. joseph dunford taking charge of u.s. and nato forces there. he s likely to be the last commander there because all combat troops are scheduled to leave by the end of next year. we were struck by a moment, with george pointing out this on abc s this morning. and new some good news. this is the place in the program where we honor the sacrifices of our service members killed in action. but for the second week in a row, the pentagon released no names of soldiers killed in afghanistan. some great words to hear from george on abc s this week. still much more ahead on world news this sunday night. in hot pursuit, the new crash causing a big headline tonight. and the bigger question, how far is too far for the paparazzi? tonight nick watt takes us inside their game. how are they tipped off? it s the little things in life that make me smile. spending the day with my niece. i don t use super poligrip for hold because my dentures fit well. before those little pieces would get in between my dentures and my gum and it was uncomfortable. even well-fitting dentures let in food particles. super poligrip is zinc free. with just a few dabs, it s clinically proven to seal out more food particles so you re more comfortable and confident while you eat. so it s not about keeping my dentures in, it s about keeping the food particles out. [ charlie ] try zinc free super poligrip. i honestly loved smoking, and i honestly didn t think i would ever quit. [ male announcer ] along with support, chantix is proven to help people quit smoking. it reduces the urge to smoke. it put me at ease that you could smoke on the first week. [ male announcer ] some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. if you notice any of these stop taking chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of depression or other mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix. don t take chantix if you ve had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these stop taking chantix and see your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, tell your doctor if you have new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. with chantix and with the support system it worked. it worked for me. [ male announcer ] ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. i wish my patients could see what i see. that over time, having high cholesterol and any of these risk factors can put them at increased risk for plaque buildup in their arteries. so it s even more important to lower their cholesterol, and that s why, when diet and exercise alone aren t enough, i prescribe crestor. in a clinical trial versus lipitor, crestor got more high-risk patients bad cholesterol to a goal of under 100. [ female announcer ] crestor is not right for everyone. like people with liver disease or women who are nursing, pregnant or may become pregnant. tell your doctor about other medicines you re taking. call your doctor right away if you have muscle pain or weakness, feel unusually tired, have loss of appetite, upper belly pain, dark urine or yellowing of skin or eyes. these could be signs of rare but serious side effects. is your cholesterol at goal? talk to your doctor about crestor. [ female announcer ] if you can t afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. turning now to the car crash in los angeles. typically a crash wouldn t make the evening news, but tonight it s what led to it. the paparazzi chasing down another star. abc s nick watt tonight taking us inside their game, revealing how it works, how they know where to go to get their shot. reporter: ruthlessly pursued by paparazzi. that s how chris brown s representative describes it. the r&b bad boy cut off in traffic. the occupants aggressively approached. brown tried to escape down an alley, cut off again. he slams his porsche into a wall. no one was injured. paparazzi can get hundreds of thousands for a single frame. just last month, one was killed in traffic trying to snap justin bieber s ferrari. the first fatality in a feverish game of cat and mouse playing out on the streets of los angeles. we rolled with ricardo mendoza for an afternoon fishing, he calls it. he has a network of informants, valets, ladies who lunch, all on the look-out, calling in tips. should i go to jones street? jenna dewan, channing tatum s wife is doing yoga and she s pregnant. pregnant s good, right? reporter: soon more photographers arrived. two dozen in all. and there she is. all of this for a minor celebrity doing yoga. why? well, these photos sell. and that s why photographers risk life and limb to snap them. nick watt, abc news, los angeles. our thanks to nick tonight. and when we come back, so many of you tweeting us after a critic took on a much loved comedic actress. i got to go. uh-oh, somebody s found a souvenir. picking on melissa mccarthy over her weight instead of her acting and tonight why she s getting the last laugh. i had enough of feeling embarrassed about my skin. [ designer ] enough of just covering up my moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. i decided enough is enough. [ spa lady ] i started enbrel. it s clinically proven to provide clearer skin. [ rv guy ] enbrel may not work for everyone and may not clear you completely, but for many, it gets skin clearer fast, within 2 months, and keeps it clearer through 6 months. [ male announcer ] enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events, including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders, and allergic reactions have occurred. before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether you ve been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. you should not start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you re prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if you have symptoms such as persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. if you ve had enough, ask your dermatologist about enbrel. why let constipation stry miralax.? mirlax works differently than other laxatives. it draws water into your colon to unblock your system naturally. don t wait to feel great. miralax. but i m still stubbed up. [ male announcer ] truth is, nyquil doesn t unstuff your nose. what?

[ woman ] learn from my story. jeff: president obama delivers his state of the union address to a joint session of congress tuesday night. administration sources are signaling the speech will focus on the economy and job creation. a white house spokesman called today for quick senate confirmation of the nominees for cia director and defense secretary saying any delay would be quote, playing politics. that statement followed republican senator lindsay graham s vow on face the nation to block the nominations of john brennan and chuck hagel pending more answers on the attacks in benghazi last september. i don t think we should allow brennan to go forward for the cia directorship hagel to be confirmed as secretary of defense until the white house gives us an accounting. jeff: there are still 102,000 coalition troops in afghanistan. and today marked a change of command for them. marine general john all when who is in line to become nato s supreme european commander passed the baton to marine general joseph dunford in a ceremony at coalition headquarters in kabul. dharlie charlie d agata was there. reporter: this morning general john allen gave up command to fellow marine joseph dunford in an emotional event that at times sound more like a defiant victory speech than a handover ceremony. afghan force afghan forces defending afghan people and enabling the government of this country to serve its citizens. this is victory, this is what winning looks like. and we should not shrink from using these words. reporter: but he himself has admitted he s had a tough 19 months and had to handle a series of disasters he calls meteor strikes. the images that surfaced showing marines urinating on the corps of taliban fighters. the accidental burning of the koran that started a wave of violence that included the killing of u.s. troops. and the massacre of 16 civilians in a shooting rampage allegedly at the hands of an american soldier. we have a casualty. reporter: general allen fought back tears when he said more than 560 coalition forces were killed on his watch, the vast majority american. we acknowledge that there is a chair at a table at home, a chair that is empty and will always be. and we can never forget them. and they are in our prayers always. reporter: as general allen says his final good-byes here in afghanistan, what no one knows is whether general dunford will one day be holding his own handover ceremony or whether he will be the united states last commander in afghanistan. there s still plenty to do, before the end of 2014 general dunford will have to wind down america s longest war, bring home most of the remaining u.s. forces and staggering amount of equipment while handing the fight against the taliban over to afghan security forces. charlie d agata cbs news kabul. jeff: as america withdraws its troops from afghanistan the use of unmanned drones is likely to grow. however their once top secret missions are coming under increased scrutiny. david martin is at the pentagon. reporter: the use of drones to hunt and kill suspected terrorists has replaced the all-out air strikes with which the wars in iraq and afghanistan began. drones have become the first line of defense against terrorists shadowing and striking them in remote areas of pakistan and yemen. impact. i m a big advocate of drones. reporter: today former defense secretary robert gates argue head that in addition to the advantage of not putting a pilot s life at risk drones cause remarkably few civilian casualties. first of all the numbers i believe are extremely small. and second you do have the ability to limit that collateral damage more than with any other weapon system that you have. reporter: critics dispute that and say civilian casualties fuel hatred of america and create more terrorists than they kill. but armed drones are only increasing in number. this helicopter drone which the navy uses for surveillance is about to be armed with laser guided rockets. giving it the capability to launch strikes from the back of ships. and there is the x-47b capable of carrying 4,000 pounds of weapons. right now it s only a test aircraft which the favee is using to determine whether a computer-flown drone can take off and land on an aircraft carrier operating from ships would give the u.s. the ability to launch drone strikes virtually anyplace in the world. many of today s drone strikes are conducted by the cia. but senator john mccain says the time has come to put the pentagon in charge. since when is the intelligence agency supposed to be an air force of drones that goes around killing people? i believe that it s a job for the department of defence. reporter: whoever is in charge and despite all the controversy, drones have become part of the american way of war. and their role is only getting bigger jeff?
