epic. thanks to the news meteorologists and technology. >> you need to be in your tornado shelter immediately. >> people are becoming more aware of how to prepare and get out of harm's way when these large scale disasters strike. we come here to help, to be part of the community, but it is always vitally important to remember every house had a family living in it and they need a helping hand. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com i am joe johns in atlanta, wolf blitzer in the "the situation room" in a few minutes. first, we are following breaking news from texas. san antonio is facing a flood emergency at this hour. waters have been rising all day long. up to ten inches pounded the area today. san antonio is one of the most

flood prone cities in the nation, and it shows. the flooding has killed at least one person and another person is missing, and there's little anyone can do but head for higher ground. >> it was under water 20 minutes ago, i came over here, own the property, my daughter said she couldn't get to her car, her car is flooded, the property, water is swarming through the whole house, and i came over to check to see what i could do, but obviously there's nothing that i can do right now. >> just a very dangerous situation there. the san antonio river has hit a record high flood level, more than a foot higher than the old record set in 1998. the fire chief says his department received more than 200 calls for water rescues. >> one of the things about rushing water, there's so much debris up underneath that water, there's tires, fences, all those things that you cannot see under water that entrap people, so

again, very dangerous situation, very proud of the operations of the men and women of the fire department. >> karen maginnis is standing by in the severe weather center. has the rain stopped falling yet? >> the rain has for the most part, it moved towards the east and a corridor that goes from corpus christi to houston, seeing some embedded areas. we say between 8 and 10 inches. to describe some of the events that have taken place, 29-year-old woman apparently caught in flood waters, abandoned her vehicle, her body was found and so was her abandoned vehicle. the flood waters rose so fast, it was devastating. you can see some of the flood waters there around the san antonio area. the missions area was one region they had to evacuate about 54 people from an apartment complex there because the water was coming in so hard, so heavy, and so fast. apparently all those people are fine. there was a gentleman who was pinned up against a structure

from the debris we heard him talk about. all kinds of things caught up in the flood waters. they were able to rescue him as well. numerous car accidents. when i listen to the news report, they were saying they had about 600 plus severe reports, about 250 of those were water rescues. all day long we've been showing you the pictures of the gentleman who was on top of the building, this comes from our cnn affiliate, woai, out of bear county, texas, san antonio. he was on a golf course. golf course got flooded. he went to the top of the building, probably floated to the top. they had a kodiak rescue floating vehicle if you will that came and rescued him. he put on his life jacket, got into the kodiak, and apparently he was just fine. however, now that that moisture has shifted further towards the east, what can we expect? i know everyone is concentrating

on what's happened. what happens as we go ahead. well, into eastern sections of texas, this looks to be the focal point of where moisture will be. how long is this expected to last? we think the moisture will be in place until tomorrow morning sometime. could we see more showers in san antonio? yes, i think it is probably a 50/50 chance you'll see showers move in and out, but primarily in the coastal areas it looks like it shifted there, but it is not impossible for san antonio to pick up another round of rainfall. this came in, thanks to all of this moisture coming in from the gulf of mexico, from the southeast, but we also had some moisture coming in from the southwest. so you get these kind of con ver jent air masses, and it makes it ripe for tornadoes to develop and for lots of rainfall that can be held in the atmosphere to

really rain down. this is reminiscent, joe, of what we saw back in 1998. >> those pictures are just incredible. thanks so much for that, karen maginnis. long day for you. new video just into cnn from the collision of two freight trains in missouri. one train then smashed into a pillar supporting a highway overpass, causing its collapse. two cars then drove off the edge in the dark. in all, seven people injured, one hospitalized. ntsb, national transportation safety board, sent a team to investigate that accident. new developments tonight from london after this week's murder of a british soldier. police made three arrests, and we're learning new details about the past of one of the prime suspects. sources in kenya say he traveled there in 2010 and was arrested for trying to cross the border into somalia. that area has seen attacks by

islamic militants in the past several years. no charges filed against him according to kenyan media. it is not clear whether he may have traveled to the region on more than one occasion. france defense minister says a soldier stabbed was targeted because he was in the military. the attacker fled the scene after stabbing the soldier in the neck. the attack happened on the outskirts of paris. a police source says the soldier will survive. a manhunt is now under way for his attacker. anti-terrorist investigators in paris are looking into the attack. and finally, runners in the boston marathon finally had a chance to get the last mile of the marathon in today. after the bombing last month denied them the chance to complete the race. around 3,000 runners turned out to finish the race, despite light rain. they were joined by victims of the attack. explosions near the finish line

i'm wolf blitzer in moore, oklahoma, and you're in "the situation room." there's no urgency in moore, oklahoma, to try to make sure people have access to storm shelters. the mayor says he will push for a law requiring shelters or safe rooms for new homes. many people in this town believe their shelters certainly saved their lives. brian todd joins us now. brian, you had a chance to speak to one man who was crowded in one of those shelters, had a pretty amazing story. >> quite a story to tell, wolf. even some structures that appeared to be solid were obliterated by the storm. one man we found as wolf mentioned got himself, his daughter, and ten children inside a small, concrete shelter underground and that made all of the difference. the tornado was coming and jim garner and his family knew there was only one place for them to go, the backyard storm shelter. he took us inside.

>> this is about what. >> going to say 6 x 6. 6 foot tall. probably 8 foot long, but 6 foot tall, 6 foot wide. >> how many people did you have in here. >> 12 people. >> 12. >> 10 kids, and me and my daughter. >> the hole in the ground was stocked with bottled water, diapers and milk for the youngest grand children, a flashlight, a battery operated tv. there was barely room to breathe. >> show us where people were standing. >> we had kids sitting along the floor, kids sitting on the bench there, my daughter was right here. i was actually setting on the steps holding the door down. >> this is a heavy steel door. jim says it has three locks on it. yet he still during the height of the tornado had to hold this door down with all his might as the storm pulled it. it was all he could do to hold the door in place. >> you could feel the tornado sucking on the door, trying to pull the door up. >> how hard was it to hold that

door? >> it was hard. >> the twister was getting closer, the entire family was terrified. in the darkness, he shows showed us how dark it got when the door was closed. >> pitch black. >> pitch black. only thing we had was a flashlight. the debris hit in the shelter, you could hear it, the roar of the tornado. scare a kid real bad, you know. i mean, it scared me. you can imagine what it done to those kids. >> they hunkered down 20 to 30 minutes. finally the storm was gone and they went outside to see the damage. >> i told my daughter, she said we lost our home. i said well, that's okay. we're safe. the kids are safe. >> it could have ended differently. some of his grandchildren went to plaza towers elementary, the school flattened in the storm. his daughter took them out of class before the storm hit. >> i don't know if she knew they didn't have a shelter or not, but she knew we did, and she didn't want them there, she

wanted them here with her. >> backyard storm shelters can cost between 2500 and $5,000. this one came with the house. he says for his family, the shelter was priceless. >> this is tornado alley. if you're going to live in this area, you need to have something like this. >> jim doesn't think many of his neighbors have shelters like that, but he hopes that will change before another tornado comes this way. wolf? >> brian, thanks very much. good reporting. imagine this, you're living through a nightmare with a newborn baby in your arms, and it happened to one family whose child was born at the moore medical center just before it was destroyed by the tornado. the father of that child, andres hogan, joins us. come here. first of all, congratulations on the birth of your child. >> amari kyler. >> that's the hospital, the

moore medical center where your child was born. pick up the story. tell us what was going on monday. your wife is in labor, she's inside there. >> yes, sir. well, first off, we knew the weather was coming in. it was going to be a little bad, we were told. we decided to go ahead and push through, have the baby the same day. >> over here. >> over at this center, yes, sir. once our child was born, they brung him to the room to sort of warm up, normal baby procedure stuff. wife was resting. they came in later with what they called a cold black warning, which required all residents of the medical center to go downstairs and kind of take shelter in the cafeteria. everybody was pushed and herded in that area. >> you, your wife and child, little baby, you go into the cafeteria. >> we go into the cafeteria. there was another nurse who was pregnant by the way, helped push my wife down there as well.

she's a hero to me, her name is erin, also works here. >> had your wife in a wheelchair. >> yeah, to help push her down. >> 90 minutes earlier she was delivering a baby. >> pretty much, three, four hours, right before when everything took place. as we get down there, the lights start to flicker on and off, and they kept telling us just kind of keep calm. we were on backup generators. with that being said, lights eventually went out. my wife was still under medication from delivering the baby, so she wasn't really into -- she didn't know a lot of what was going on. >> had a c-section. >> yes, she had a c-section, and she was a little loopy and what not. so they asked everybody after the lights went out, drop on the floor, get on the floor and kind of curl up. that's kind of what everybody did. and we huddled with each other.

she was sitting in the wheelchair, i was in the chair. she leaned on me. i had my son in my arms. i leaned on her shoulder. >> she's still in the wheelchair or on the ground? >> still in the wheelchair. >> was she on the ground? >> she was in the wheelchair. i am holding the baby in my left arm, she's to my right side, and leaning on my right shoulders here. again, i am leaning on her right shoulder and have my son in my arm. >> you're hearing sirens go off? >> it was -- they have a loud siren that they have for the warning, and like i said, everything, you could feel pressure building up in the air and up in your ears, like they're about to pop, like you taking off in an airplane. right after that, all you saw was -- the door flew open, you saw wind, debris, everything flowing in, smoke, grass, it was a lot of things that were just flying off into the cafeteria.

a lot of people were screaming and crying. >> that was in effect the safe room, the cafeteria. everybody in this hospital, dr. sanjay gupta spoke to them, everybody was fine after this? >> everybody was fine. there were some slight injuries, because when we came out, once they gave the green light for everybody to leave out, they let the newborn and elderly go ahead in front of everybody. i did see a lady on a stretcher, kind of crying and what not, hope she's okay as well. >> i hope so, too. how is the baby doing? >> doing great. that's my heartbeat there, my new heartbeat there. he is doing great. >> and your wife? >> tricina. >> she's all right, still out of it, a little tired. but we pulled through and made it out. >> i'm glad you did. thanks very much. you know what i want to do, skip, if you could get a tight shot of that hospital over there, pan over and see the

wreckage. i mean, it is hard to believe you're this close. look at what was going on outside. you can see the damage, cars that were thrown around like little rocks. >> that's correct. also once we were leaving out of the cafeteria, i decided to stay, the nurse erin helped push my wife over here to the warren theater, and i stayed back, we were clearing paths for everybody to come through. we decided, me and another gentleman, i was kind of volunteering, we tied off that wing, went through hall ways, cleared every room, room by room. actually stood on the roof here when we came out to the side, it was blown off. >> i look at the destruction, amazing anyone could survive that. >> we did and it was crazy. >> they knew what they were doing. you served in the military, too? >> still in, sir. >> active duty? >> yes. >> thanks for your service. >> thank you. appreciate it. >> appreciate everything you're

doing. >> yes, sir. thank you. coming up, run or hide from a tornado, it is a choice that could mean life or death. dr. sanjay gupta is here to take a closer look. and a heartbroken mother whose child died in an elementary school asked why there wasn't better protection. and we are following also this. we are remembering some of those killed in the disaster as our special coverage continues.

one controversy emerging from the devastating tragedy in

oklahoma, and it is a devastating tragedy, part of tornado country as they call it, the lack of shelters in public schools. cnn spoke with the mother of a child of a child that died at plaza towers. she joins us now. you have a cnn exclusive. tell us what you've seen and heard. >> reporter: well, we met, wolf, with the mother of kyle davis, an eight-year-old boy, one of the seven children that died at plaza towers elementary school. she's in shock and also loss and anger. here is a portion. >> monday night was the hardest night of my life. people are telling me go home, get some rest, and sleep. how can you sleep when you don't even know where your baby is at? you don't know if he is safe, is

he stuck under all of the rubble, where is he? you know, being a mother, you have to know where your babies are. i finally maybe dozed off maybe an hour and a half, maybe, if that. i kept on turning on the news because they were talking about more storms coming in, then got up, got ready, went back into the city, and then i got confirmation that they had him, but he didn't make it. you know, you cry and cry and cry, then you feel like you're crying, there's no tears going, but you feel like they're going. i just -- it is just something i never, ever thought in my life that we would have to go through. >> are you angry at all at anything? is it just the overwhelming sadness that you feel?

>> i am angry to an extent. i know that the schools did what they thought they could do, but with us living in oklahoma, tornado shelters should be in every school. it should be, you know, there should be a place that if this ever happened again during school that kids can get to a safe place, that we don't have to sit there and go through rubble and rubble and rubble and may not ever find what we're looking for. >> reporter: davis had another child who was also at plaza towers. that child, a daughter, an 11-year-old girl did survive. so she is grateful for that. wolf, one thing i would like to add, she now is terrified of tornadoes. if there's another, the first thing she says she will do is get her child out of school. wolf? >> i know you've learned a lot

about kyle. tell us what you've learned. >> reporter: kyle is actually -- almost felt like he was there. his mom wanted to meet at a soccer field where she could show us how much he loved the sport. she's the ultimate soccer mom. she took him there all the time, he loved to play soccer. his nickname was the wall, he was such a big kid. and the other thing she mentioned is that he loved his sister, he also loved monster trucks, loved going there with his grandfather whenever he could. and she says her son with these bright blue baby blue eyes, she cannot imagine what it is going to be like to not see him grow up. >> what a truly heart breaking story indeed. what a sweet, sweet boy. kyung lah reporting, so many of these stories go on and on and on. up next, the best options if a tornado is coming your way. our own dr. sanjay gupta will

ready. >> reporter: 13 minutes, that's the average lead time you'd have if the tornado was headed your way. there's obviously no completely safe option during a tornado. your best bet is to get into the basement, somewhere below ground level. keep in mind if you are there, you want to see what's on the floor above you as well. a refrigerator or heavy furniture could come crashing through the floor, you want to be wary of that. here in moore, oklahoma, there aren't a lot of basements. studies have shown there's another good option. take a look here. interior room or closet can be the best place to be as well. the house is gone here, but that closet preserved, even the clothes inside that. remember, just got 13 minutes. find that safe place, maybe grab a helmet, bike helmet, throw mattresses or blanket over you to protect your head. one place you can't hide from a tornado is in your car. tornado strength winds can pick up a one to two ton vehicle like this one and toss it around like you or i would a basketball.

you obviously don't want to be driving toward a tornado, but it is also a bad idea to be driving away from a tornado. it is hard to gauge the distance. if you must be driving and weather is clear, try driving at right angles, perpendicular to get out of the path of the storm. there's another misconception to get out of the car, run under an overpass. the wind is funneled, it is more powerful than the storm, and there's debris and that can injure you. if you are stuck outside as a tornado approaches, find a ditch or any place far from potentially dangerous objects and vehicles and stay low. there are a lot of tornadoes here, obviously in this part of the country, wolf. i think as a result of a lot of the training and probably just over the years since childhood, people understanding these things, the death toll was as low as it was, trying to figure out given the devastation behind us how so many people survived.

i think it was some of these basic things. >> lessons learned tornado after tornado after tornado. eventually, still lessons they have to learn, but i'm sure they will. >> reporter: with regard to buildings and hospitals, for sure. it is still remarkable. >> sanjay, thanks very much. hos) which is why we're proud to help connect our students with leading employers across the nation.

seven children died when the plaza towers elementary school took a direct hit from the tornado. our chief national correspondent john king got a look at what's left of that school. john, i know it was very painful for you, for our crews, everybody going anywhere near that school to see what you had to see. >> as a journalist, as a parent, as a human being, you show up at

this site, wolf, and you see what's left of this school, then you have the structure described for you. it was shaped like a u. essentially part of the crossbar is still there, the two legs are gone. and you see the swathe of the destruction in the enabled and at the school, then you take a walk through, and you're humbled and saddened, look at the destruction. seven of ten children that died in moore perished there at that school. when you walk through, when viewers get a look at the devastation at that site, it is a miracle that so many moore children and teachers survived. >> where did everybody go? >> we surrounded the school, started to run into different areas. some has been cleaned out due to search and rescue efforts. literally climbing over debris. people were yelling for help, just pulling people out as quickly as possible. and that went on literally for hours. >> this was a hall of classrooms. >> classrooms on each side. >> connected, there's nothing. >> there was a wall there, that was a classroom straight ahead.

there was classrooms out here. you can see there's still tile. >> this is gone. >> this classroom is gone. these classrooms are all gone. >> there were more on the front side, too, where you see the tile? >> you can see the door leading into what was the classroom. >> the back wall of the classroom. that's the front wall of the school there? >> front wall would have been there, yes. >> was there a place in the school people faired better? look of a better word? >> you can see walls still standing. obviously that corner, main part of the tornado came through this way, so this is the area that took the most. as it went through this part here, you can see where the walls are standing and where they're not. 460 something students, unfortunately we did lose 7, but by looking at the damage, it is a miracle we didn't lose a lot more. and none of this has been touched. this is what it looked like.

hasn't been tractors moving anything. this is how it landed. >> people have been through, they'll be certain nobody is left. >> they've all been searched, this is what took so long, had to go through all of this, and it goes 15 miles the other way. >> 15 miles. >> just like this. >> 15 miles just like this. >> 15 miles, yes. >> again, you walk through the school and imagine there were some 400, not sure of the exact number, wolf, don't know how many parents came and got the kids early, full day, 460 students in that school, when you walk through, you thank god, not minimizing loss of seven that died there, but when you look at it, it is impossible to believe more didn't perish. they did not have an underground shelter. that will be one of the debates after this storm. it is an older school, newer schools have them. that will be a new debate. we drove with an officer through the community, ground zero where the tornado came through moore, heard him say for 15 miles looks

just like that. some residents are still not allowed back in there because just today they're going to try to turn on the electricity and gas. think they have all of the down power lines and shut off the gas, but worried about risk of fire, often when you turn the power back on, missed one or two spots, could be a fire. we saw frustrated residents trying to get to their stuff, police saying give us one more day. as a parent, a journalist, a human being, when you walk through that school site and imagine what it must have been like, and most of it is just gone. >> you have been a journalist long time. was that one of the most difficult assignments you had? >> the issue there, you are a parent, you think of your own kids. i remember on 9/11, where are my children. newtown happens, you think of your own children. you walk through this school thinking your children go to a building like this. i live in the d.c. area, we don't get tornadoes, but just to think all parents are alike, the thing they care about most, the thing they would die for is to protect their children. what it must have been like to

this is cnn breaking news. >> i am joe johns at the cnn world headquarters in atlanta. we are following breaking news this hour from texas here in "the situation room." people in san antonio are facing a flood emergency this hour. houses are flooded, streets are underwater, and the san antonio river has climbed to a record high level, up to ten inches of rain have pounded the area since last night. one person is dead, another is missing. residents have no choice but to simply wait until the waters recede. >> it was under water 20 minutes ago, i came over here, i own the property, and my daughter said that she couldn't get to her car. her car is all flooded, the

property is all -- the water is swarming through the whole house, and i came over to check and see what i could do, but obviously there's nothing that i can do right now. >> city officials are saying it is an extremely dangerous situation. the san antonio river is more than a foot higher than the record set 15 years ago. the fire department has received more than 200 calls for water rescues. >> one of the things about rushing water, there's so much debris up underneath that water, there's tires, there's fences, there's all those things you cannot see underwater that entrap people. so again, very dangerous situation, very proud of the operations of the men and women of the fire department. >> our karen maginnis has been tracking the san antonio flood. she has an update from the cnn severe weather center. >> joe, it is a staggering amount of precipitation that has occurred in a single day. 8 to 10 inches of rainfall around the san antonio region,

and they were saying about 600 emergency reports of that, about 250 water rescues. one gentleman was pinned against a structure by all the debris in the water. they were able to rescue him. what started this? we got that flow coming in off of the gulf of mexico, very warm, moist, unstable air, just kind of moving over the same place continuously for hours, and as a result, severe flooding across the region that's now moving off to the east. as we go through time, what can we expect. they start to diminish overnight, but in the next 24 hours, we're looking at possibly some of these thunderstorms erupting once again across south texas, into the hill country, extending to the texas and oklahoma border, but we will stay on top of it, bring you the latest information. joe? >> karen maginnis, thanks for that.
