Good evening. It's great to have you with us here in a very busy. Thursday night. We'll have more on this break in. at actor Brad Pitt's home. the latest in a series of high profile break ins or live on. the scene. But we do begin tonight with the severe. thunderstorms. The watch right now for New York City, Philadelphia, Washington, DC. Storms moving in just as the heat moves out. There is also a tornado watch in the Midwest. At this hour, the radar showing the extreme weather that severe. storm watch in the east and the tornado watch for several. states right in the middle of the country. In fact, remarkable scenes already.

This is Largo Florida, a tornado lifting this. home right up off its foundation in the air for a time it. tips over on its side. That home remarkably comes back down to 76 year old woman. inside the home. She survived this. And a tornado in southern Minnesota, one of 15 reported tornadoes already. And in the northeast right now, the severe thunderstorm watch, Lee Goldberg standing by live with the forecast. and Stephanie Ramos with the remarkable images. coming in tonight. Tonight after tornadoes lifted homes into the air.

and tour across farmland, powerful storms again on the. move, firing up in the northern plains. And you can see where the green skies, sirens sounding. outside our Rochester, Minnesota affiliate as KAALs Robin. Wolf from broadcast live. And of course, we're under a tornado warning. We want you to be safe. Be sure to get to your basements. Take cover overnight. a massive tornado southwest of Rochester tearing across. heartland, Minnesota, watch as it crosses this road right in.

front of drivers. And in Largo, Florida, west of Tampa, unbelievable video from a security camera in the. Rintero village retirement community. The tornado lifting that home all the way up hanging. in the air before it comes crashing back down. to the ground. (air whooshing). Authorities say a 76 year old woman was inside at the time, miraculously surviving. Authorities say at least 50 homes were damaged in the area.

- And David, as those storms make their way. into the Northeast to the temperatures are plummeting. Here in New York City, yesterday afternoon, it was 96 degrees. Today, upper 60s, nearly a 30 degree difference. David. - We'll take the. change, Stephanie Ramos with us tonight, Steph. Thank you. Let's get right to the Gullberg of Wabc back with. us tonight. A big change indeed, but it does come. with some really unsettled weather these next few. hours. Yes, David storms just 90 miles to our south. in Philly right now. Some severe thunderstorms closing in on the.

city. It's been mid-summer extreme heat to mid. May temperatures in parts of the northeast and that's. why you have this potent front causing big storms. Severe thunderstorms watch from Philly. may be even some quarter size hail. They'll diminish in the evening hours. A tornado watching similar places we saw. yesterday near Rochester over into La Crosse, Wisconsin. That's Rochester, Minnesota. So these storms wind down, but there's still. a lot of heat from the Mississippi, the middle. Atlantic, even an extreme heat warning in West Virginia. Triple digit heat from Memphis to Nashville all the way to DC.

Now that cool pocket is very strong over the northeast. It will tone down some of this heat. Look at what's going on, a massive drop in Boston in. New York barely 70 tomorrow. It'll warm up again over the weekend, but not to the. degree that we just, David. Lee, we always appreciate it. Thank you. Now to the other news this Thursday night, just in news. of a break in at the LA home of actor Brad Pitt, police say. the suspect scaling the wall, smashing their way in. And what was done inside the home. This is the latest in the series of high profile break ins. This time it happened while Brad Pitt was known to be.

away promoting his new movie. Trevor Alvis, Amasine Forest. Tonight Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt. is the latest celebrity victim in a string. of brazen home burglaries. Law enforcement sources tell ABC News police. responded to a call at the actor's home. around 10 30 last night. They say three suspects scaled offense. to gain entry to the yard, then smashed through. a front window. Pit was not home at the time. The stars been on the road promoting his new movie, F1, seen here at the London premiere earlier this week.

Police say the suspects ransacked the star's. home with an unknown number of items taken. Investigators are now searching for any surveillance video. from the home and the area. The break-in is the latest in a series of alarming crimes at. the homes of Hollywood's biggest stars. Just last month, police say a man smashed his vehicle through. the gate at Jennifer Aniston's property while the actress. was home and he was detained by private security. Nicole Kidman's house was burglarized in February and Tom.

Hanks was victimized last year. And David, this is the gate that police say these suspects. scaled to get up to the house. It's not clear if Brad Pitt was targeted here specifically. or if they simply thought this was just. another luxury home. David, the latest of the series of break-ins, Trevor Old. on the scene for us tonight, Trevor, thank you. the remarkable images the mystery fireball. over multiple states caused in 911 in several states. In fact, some drivers startled by a bright light. streaking across the sky, some reporting shaking. and hearing a boom.

Was it a meteor or space junk? What the National Weather Service is now saying tonight? A piece of it came crashing through someone's roof, cracking the floor inside their home. Here's ABC's Victor O'Kendall. Tonight, this stunning sight caught on cameras across the. southeast of right white fireball streaking across the. sky, part of it crashing down to Earth. Witnesses from Georgia, North and South. Carolina, Virginia, and as far West as Tennessee reported. sightings around noon, 911 call centers inundated.

Some hearing a loud boom, saying they. even felt shaking and thought it was an earthquake. Late today the National Weather. Service saying it appears either a meteor or space junk. across the skies of North Georgia. Emergency officials in Henry County, Georgia, outside Atlanta believe a piece of that object may have crashed. through a resident's roof, smashed through the. ceiling before cracking the floor. You can see the hole in the damage left. behind. Catherine Farr capturing it on Dashkin video. while driving down I-85 in Anderson County, South.

Carolina. That ball of fire falling in clear blue skies. I think it's just like a once in a lifetime experience, you know, it's really really cool to see, but just. definitely out the ordinary. David, while it was a startling site for sure, thousands of meteorites hit Earth every year. No injuries reported tonight. David, but can you imagine that family that it came right. through the roof of that home? Victor, a Kendo tonight. Victor, thank you. Next tonight here, the U.S. strikes on Iran. And now this heated debate over the damage from those.

attacks tonight, the Pentagon, with new details. And the Defense Department also revealing they'd been studying. this plan of a possible strike on Iran for 15 years, now. saying those 30,000-pound bombs exploded exactly as planned. Tonight, President Trump now insisting Iran did not remove. its enriched uranium, even though early intelligence. indicated much of it might have been moved. While Iran's supreme leader tonight is saying the White. House is exaggerating the damage at those nuclear sites. Here's Rachel Scott.

Tonight, the Trump administration dispatching. the Secretary of Defense and the chairman. of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to pump up the president's. claim that the U.S. strikes a nuclear program. Secretary Pete Hegsep angrily. dismissing an early Pentagon intelligence. report that sources say indicates the attack. only set back Iran's program a few. months. Anyone with two ears, two eyes, some ears in a. brain can recognize that kind of firepower with. that specificity at that location and. others is going to have a devastating.

effect. Hegs set the Joint Chiefs Chairman. General Dan Cain insisted recent intelligence assessments showed. the sites were severely damaged, but offered no new evidence. or intelligence to indicate Iran's nuclear program. was in fact destroyed. Kane saying that's a question for America spy agencies. Instead offering new details about the intricate. attack, he says had been discussed and strategized. for 15 years over the course of several administrations. -The weapons were built, tested, and loaded properly.

Two, the weapons were released on speed and on parameters. Three, the weapons all guided to their intended targets. and to their intended aimpoints. -The general adding the massive bunker buster bombs. exploded exactly as planned. We know that the trailing jets saw the first weapons function. and the pilots stated, quote, "This was the brightest. explosion that I've ever seen. It literally looked like daylight.". The Early Intelligence Report indicated Iran removed much.

of its stash of near-weapons grade uranium before the. strike. Today, the president insisting, "That's not true.". posting nothing was taken out of facility would take too long. to dangerous and very heavy and hard to move. And tonight new questions about the president's claims that Iran. and the U.S. would be meeting next week. "We're going to talk to them next week with Iran. We may sign an agreement, I don't know. To me, I don't think it's that necessary.". But today the White House press secretary says there.

is no meeting on the books. "We don't have anything scheduled as of now.". What is the hold of care and trying to schedule it? Are you experiencing any resistance from the Iranians? No, have some patience. - Today's true mood already come. - And today in Iran, the Supreme Leader. sounded defiant in his first public statement. since the attack. - No, you're claiming the US failed to achieve. anything significant and adding Trump quote, grossly exaggerated. - Today, the head of the United Nations, nuclear watchdog, said for Do, which is Iran's most.

important nuclear facility suffered enormous damage. and it was no longer operational, but they stopped. short of saying that it has been completely. obliterated as President Trump has suggested. David. Rachel Scott on this all week. for us. Rachel thank you. Here in New York City, the prosecution's closing. argument against Sean Diddy-Cohms. Today telling jurors it was all a. climate of fear. What the defense now plans to say. in its closing argument and jurors could get this. case tomorrow. Here's Aaron Kutursky. Tonight after a sprawling seven-week case, federal.

prosecutors tried to tie together all. the evidence against Sean Combs, telling the. eight-man four-woman jury it's time to find. the defendant guilty. His mother, twin daughters. and sons filing into the courthouse where prosecutors. delivered a nearly five-hour summation, saying Combs used. power, violence, and fear to to get what he wanted, and forced two women, Cassie Ventura, and. an ex-girlfriend known by the pseudonym Jane to have. sex with male escorts while he watched, directed, and filmed. Jurors saw graphic footage of those encounters.

and heard gripping testimony about hundreds. of them, but today a prosecutor said, "One. single freak off is enough. You only need to find the elements of sex trafficking. are met on one occasion.". Combs has denied charges of sex trafficking, transportation for. prostitution, and racketeering conspiracy. Prosecutors pointing to allegations. of arson drugs and the bribery of a hotel security. guard following this 2016 assault of Cassie. Ventura as proof Combs ran a criminal enterprise. with a cadre of loyal lieutenants. It's his kingdom. Everyone was there to serve him.

Defense attorneys will deliver their closing. arguments tomorrow, David. They called no witnesses This is during trial, instead. arguing Cassie Ventura and Jane were not trafficking victims, but long-term girlfriends who willingly took part in. Combs' polyamorous lifestyle. David Erichertsky has been covering this. trial for us, Aaron. Thank you. We turn out of the Supreme Court decision to the boosting. efforts to defund the Planned Parenthood. The conservative majority ruling that South Carolina can block. the women's health clinics from Medicaid, cutting. off funding even for non-abortion services,

including contraception and cancer screenings. other states could now do the same. Tonight is special honor for the Army. Rangers of World War II, House Speaker Mike.
