firebrand ted nugent. plus the latest from the trayvon martin case. god bless this great country. god bless you. god bless the united states of america. thanks, you guys. thanks for the victory in wisconsin and maryland and district of columbia. thanks, you guys. thank you. >> three wins for mitt romney tonight. he's in milwaukee right now. the winner, according to our own cnn projections. as he says, not only in wisconsin, but washington, d.c., and maryland as well. senator santorum earlier in the evening vowing to fight on. here are the official numbers coming in. we projected romney as the winner in all three of the contests. 23% of the official vote in maryland is now in, romney significantly ahead, 47% to 31% for rick santorum. newt gingrich and ron paul trail

significantly. in washington, d.c., 24% of the vote is in. 69% for romney. 13% for ron paul. 11% for newt gingrich. santorum was not on the ballot, did not qualify. in wisconsin, mitt romney ahead right now with almost a third of the vote in. 30%. he's got 43% to 38% for rick santorum. 11% for ron paul. 6% for newt gingrich. let's bring in our own candy crowley. she's been covering the romney campaign. a lot of happy people over there. three wins, that's significant. >> reporter: it's a clean sweep. it's exactly what they wanted. you heard first from paul ryan, who's been accompanying romney around wisconsin. we republicans are unified. you might get some argument tonight in the camp of rick santorum, but there's a clear push here for, hey, a clean sweep opening up april. you heard mitt romney just now saying i want to talk to

pennsylvania and new york, all the rest of the states that are ahead in the next couple of weeks to join us. three words you did not hear tonight, which says more about how romney views the future, the three words not spoken tonight, santorum, gingrich, paul. this is clearly a campaign that wants to create that momentum. it's a psychological more than a mathematical thing now. obviously, he's more than halfway toward getting those 1,144 delegates, but he is not near there yet. so this is more about it's over even if the math does not add up right now. they want to push ahead. clearly, what they'd most love to do is win in pennsylvania. they're going to make a very big play there, i can tell you that. they think the other states look friendlier. if they can take pennsylvania, they do think that's a knockout blow even though it doesn't necessarily mean that rick santorum or newt gingrich or ron paul will actually get out of

the race. they may dial it back as gingrich has done, but they don't necessarily believe they'll get out, but they do believe it will be apparent to republicans, after this clean sweep tonight, that this train has actually left the station, wolf. >> candy, stand by. i want you to continue with our panel. political analyst gloria borger, ari fleischer. the romney campaign and the super pac that supports romney, they're going to be spending millions of dollars in pennsylvania to try to nail it down. >> they are because they would love nothing more than to defeat rick santorum in pennsylvania and make that be the final death blow to rick santorum's campaign. what could occur, wolf, could be a split decision.

i've heard a lot of people say, while rick santorum might win the popular vote, mitt romney would be able to win in the delegates. speaking of delegates, we should also point out that tonight mitt romney is going to make a very big hole of delegates. rick santorum, i don't know, less than a dozen delegates maybe. >> maybe not. >> so it seems to me that this is a huge victory for mitt romney. and also today, barack obama made it clear, the president said, look, the person i'm running against is mitt romney. so while rick santorum may not be willing to admit that, today the president started to try and define mitt romney. so i think the campaign kind of began today whether rick santorum wants it to or not. >> he's already pivoted in your mind to a general election campaign. he's going to spend a lot of money in pennsylvania, as he did in iowa, in florida, because he really wants to crush santorum in his home state and end this so they don't have to deal with may, where there's texas,

arkansas, kentucky, states where santorum potentially could do well. >> absolutely. what we've seen is romney has already closed some of the gap in pennsylvania. he was behind in wisconsin not long ago, and he closed that gap and then won tonight. he's got a reasonable possibility. after all, santorum lost the last time he ran in pennsylvania. the only reason pennsylvania matters that much is whether you can get santorum out of the race, and you can go on. if rick santorum wins pennsylvania, he's going to go on apparently, and mitt romney just wants to end it so he can focus. what i also thought was very interesting today, wolf, if you compare the obama speech earlier today and the romney speech tonight, you have, i think, a portrait of the campaign that's coming. romney's making a very, very different argument. he's saying, i don't want to talk to you just about budgets. i want to talk about how you create jobs in the private sector. he's running not as a conservative or a moderate, he's running as a pro business republican. >> and he's addressing women. the first few words out of his

mouth tonight, donna brazile, were to women, moms. they obviously have a huge stake in what's going on. do you believe that some romney supporters believe, if he spends a few million dollars in pennsylvania to try to beat santorum in his home state, that's a good investment for november because pennsylvania will be a key battleground state. so money spent now in pennsylvania to support mitt romney could have an effect down the road in a general election in november against president obama? >> i think mitt romney, governor romney will close up a lot of the deficit we now see. with independents, he'll pick up five or ten percentage points. he might even pick up another five percentage points with hiss pani hispanics, but youth voters, minority voters, women -- i don't believe romney will be able to close all those gaps in the next few weeks simply by going after santorum as a big spending liberal with ties to

hillary clinton. i read those ads he saw in the d.c. suburbs. mitt romney is not inspiring. he's inspiring the base because he's trying to prove he's the real conservative in the race. he needs to inspire people in the middle. what i heard tonight, that was not an inspiring speech. >> santorum already had a tough ad he started running in wisconsin, going after mitt romney, comparing him to the president of the united states, barack obama. it's a very tough ad. how much among the republican establishment does a tough anti-mitt romney ad hurt santorum with folks like you, who are insiders, shall we say, of the republican establishment? >> well, i used to be an insider, now i'm a new yorker. it does hurt because republicans want to win. i've said this before. mitt romney is republicans plan "b." he's a very acceptable second choice, and he's ground down everybody else and has become the first choice. to the degree that rick santorum

would hurt his chances to beat newt gingrich, it would turn republicans against rick santorum even more. if i were to advise romney in pennsylvania, and also wisconsin as part of this too, wisconsin a swing state. he wants to spend not to crush rick santorum, but he wants to spend to push his own favorables up and drive his own unfavorables down. that's what he needs to do to defeat barack obama in a blue leaning, purple state like pennsylvania and wisconsin. >> do we have an idea where romney is going to be the next few weeks leading up to april 24th in pennsylvania. >> reporter: he's going to raise some money, but pennsylvania will be the first stop and many stops in between because, again, that's the big state here. one of the things i think they are counting on now is they really do believe they can rightfully claim the momentum. we saw through the whole first part of this primary season, if mitt romney wins new hampshire and immediately loses south carolina, newt gingrich wins

south carolina and immediately loses florida. mitt romney wins florida and immediately loses in that sweep that rick santorum has. so what they believe now is this truly is momentum. in the old fashioned sense of that word, that meant that the states coming afterwards, those gaps began to close. you've already begun to see it in the polls, and what they believe for rick santorum, if it looks as though they might lose his home state, is that the period he wants in this race here? i think they want a squeeze of rick santorum, but they're fully prepared to spend a lot of money and a lot of candidate time in pennsylvania as well as some candidate time raising money. >> i'm sure mitt romney will manage to get a lot more of those pennsylvania establishment republicans on his campaign. he's going to be spending a ton more money than rick santorum. why? he has a lot more money. certainly his super pac does as

well as his regular campaign. the panel is staying with us throughout the hour. there's a lot to talk about. romney certainly has widened his already substantial lead in the all important delegate count. tonight we cross the halfway mark in the race to the delegate finish line. tim pawlenty, the co-chairman of his national campaign, he's standing by to join us.

president obama thinks he's doing a good job. i'm not kidding. he actually thinks he's doing a great job. he thinks he's doing an historically great job, like abraham lincoln and lbj and fdr. and, no, he did not say that on "saturday night live." it's enough to make you think that years of flying around in air force one surrounded by an adoring staff of true believers telling you that you're great and you're doing a great job, it's enough to make you think that you might become a little out of touch with that, and that's what's happened. >> it's a very good night for mitt romney. cnn projecting he'll win wisconsin's primary as well as maryland and the district of columbia. it's a clean sweep, at least on this night. but his rival rick santorum isn't backing down. his tone tonight at his headquarters outside pittsburgh

define it. >> if we're going to win this race, we can't have little differences between our nominee and president obama. time and time again, the republican establishment and aristocracy have shoved down the throat of people in this country moderate republicans because, of course, we have to win by getting people in the middle. there's one person who understood we don't win by moving to the middle. we win by getting people in the middle to move to us and move this country forward. >> outside, the santorum campaign, a lot of people looking at wisconsin as a must win state for him to prove the race is not over. newt gingrich also weighed in tonight. he's vowing he will stay in until the convention in tampa. the former minnesota governor tim pawlenty is co-chairman of mitt romney's national campaign. governor pawlenty is joining us right now.

governor, thanks very much for coming in. little differences, did you hear that? santorum saying, only little differences between your man governor romney and president obama. go ahead and respond to rick santorum. >> well, with all due respect to rick santorum, there couldn't be a brighter line between the vision that mitt romney has for this country, which is private sector, entrepreneurial, getting the country moving, having been an executive, not having a government-centric view of the world and government's role in people's lives like barack obama does. it's fundamentally wrong for rick to say that. obviously, he's lashing out in the final stages of his campaign. this race for the nomination as a practical matter is over. it's not quite numerically over. there's going to be more psychological and emotional processing among certain parts of the discussion here, politically, wolf, but let's face it. mitt romney is going to be the nominee. that's a great thing. he's going to be a great nominee and a great president. he's actually been an executive leader in the private sector. he doesn't have that government-centric view of the

world and government's role in the economy like barack obama does. that's the big distinction. >> santorum, as you heard him say, it's halftime in the process right now. if he can win pennsylvania, may is going to be potentially a good month. texas, kentucky, arkansas -- states where he can do well. you relish that thought that this is going to continue well into may? >> no. i think the race, like i said, for all practical purposes is over. i understand rick wanting to cling to it a little longer. he could be a big part of the conservative moment. it's not our place to tell him when to drop out. but if you look at this clear eyed, you can clearly see that romney is on a trajectory to be the republican nominee. >> even after these big wins, we're still seeing these numbers. one-third of wisconsin republicans told us in the exit polls that they wouldn't be satisfied with romney as the republican nominee. and 1 in 5 republican voters in

a recent gallup poll said they'd either vote for president obama or stay home if romney's the nominee. any reason for concern when these kinds of numbers come up? >> when you have an inter-party hard fought battle for the nomination, there's going to be some differences in the near term. as this gets into the summer and fall, the conservatives will unite, the party will unite as it always does and should. look at mitt romney's record in massachusetts -- custodying ttt cutting spending, increasing employment, decreasing unemployment, standing for marriage, standing for life -- that's a conservative record by any definition. is it perfect? no. but look at newt's record, look at rick's record. are they 100% conservative? no, i've researched them, and i can tell you. certainly rick santorum is conservative, but is he the perfect conservative? certainly not.

>> there's going to be some healing necessary after this rather rough primary season, but doesn't time spent focusing on the base keep governor romney from reaching out to the independents, a lot of women voters the republicans will desperately need if they're going to win the white house in the fall? >> as you saw today, his message is switching to focus on president obama and less so on the republican nomination. we don't want to take anything for granted. we have to go earn every vote. newt gingrich and rick santorum would do the conservative movement, and mitt romney's chances of being the next president of the united states relative to barack obama a great service by realizing the nomination is going to go to mitt romney, and they can do their part by helping to unite the party rather than dragging it out. obviously, they're not going to be the nominees. i think anybody who's looking at this clear eyed sees that, and i wish that they would do what they can now or soon to throw in behind mitt and get this party united. we need to focus on barack obama. that's the number one objective to get him out of office so we can get this country pointed in a better direction.

>> governor pawlenty, one final question, and you can give me a short answer if you want. i remember vividly four years ago you were first runner-up in the vice presidential sweepstakes. you lost out to sarah palin when senator mccain picked sarah palin. is this something you would like to see happen this time if governor romney asked you to be on his tickticket? >> i've taken my name off the list, wolf. i've been down that road before, as you noted. he's going to have a lot of great people to pick from and consider. i think the best thing i can do is to volunteer and help him get elected. i've taken my name off the vice presidential list. >> why did you do that, governor? >> he's going to have a lot of great people to pick from, and the best way i can help him is to do it in other ways. >> thanks for coming. up next, president obama's game plan for the fall.

mitt romney's projected victory will certainly put him past the halfway mark to clirchling the republican nomination. there may be a good time why he did so well in maryland,

wisconsin, and wach, d.c. inner word, intensity. tom freeman is here to break it all down for us. intensity? he had an intense vote? >> he had an intense vote in some places. look at his campaign. this is where he was. now look at that, past the 600 mark. that makes a big difference overall. let's look at the national map and talk about intensity very briefly. you fly into wisconsin, and you see a lot of counties that santorum won, and you see a lot that romney won. we're going to show you some we've never seen before. let me show you the colors on this, and now i'm going to switch it to the intensity of the win. look at that. romney's real strength right down here in the great big counties down here. milwaukee county, waukesha county, osaukee county, big population centers.

and interestingly enough, wolf, these are the areas, urban and suburban, where president obama did so well. so the big challenge for romney after a big win like this is to reach out to all these places where he won, but not in a big way, and say, come on, come on, join the fold, if he wants to take this victory into the general election. wolf? >> thank you. rick santorum talking tough about staying in the race, but some key democrats are not talking much about him at all, and that may speak volumes. obama senior strategist david axelrod and vice president joe biden, for that matter, have both been aiming their attacks directly at mitt romney. >> i can't remember a presidential candidate in the recent past who seems not to understand by what he says what ordinary middle class people are thinking about and are concerned about. >> he seems to be oblivious to the experiences of everyday

people. >> look, governor romney's business practices and his policies have clearly benefited the wealthy and most powerful among us, often at the expense of working and middle class families. >> look, you have a guy who wants to go back to the same policies that got us into this disaster. >> i think governor romney is a little out of touch. >> the obama campaign clearly signaling they expect to face mitt romney in november. lots of raw politics to hash out with our panel back with us once again. gloria borger, david bergen, donna brazile, and ari fleischer. as far as the white house and the obama campaign are concerned, it's obama versus romney. >> totally obama versus romney. what was so interesting to me tonight, wolf, was that in mitt romney's speech in wisconsin, he was talking about president obama being out of touch, saying he was surrounded by true believers, and it's easy, when

you're traveling on air force one, to get out of touch. you just heard joe biden say and david axelrod saying that mitt romney is the one out of touch. i think we've already teed up one part of the argument, which is who's the person that is more out of touch with real americans and with the middle class. so i think that's the beginning of another argument. they've already started on that. >> i think it's fair to say the president for the next several months will try to take the relatively high road and leave the attack dog role to biden, axelrod, and others. >> you think? >> i'm not so sure. >> you think he's really going to get down there? >> i don't know. >> he wants that presidential aura around him, and that resonates with a lot of folks. >> i think he'll use a stiletto, not a sledge hammer. he'll stick it in as he stuck it in today. and he'll use mocking humor, which is the president. he won't leave it all to the surrogates. he relishes a fight.

>> what do you think, donna? >> he's ready for this. he's eager for this battle. as you know, wochl, for the last few years, we've heard republicans whine and complain and demonize his record. president obama is now ready to to defend his record and attack the other side. they've doubled down on the ryan budget. the president is ready to talk about issues facing the middle class. this is going to be an epic battle, but at the end of the day, i think president obama will be able to put together the winning coalition. >> so you agree, ari, if we think that what the republicans have been doing over the last several months was pretty brutal and intense, relatively speaking, it was child's play compared to what we're about to see in the battle between the president versus mitt romney? >> president obama has a history, and he is a much better talker and a much better campaigner than he is a leader or somebody who wants to get something done. that's been the case. he began this campaign with a bus tour in august of 2011. that's when the campaign started. that's when government ended. as we just saw when he was

abroad last week, he's announ announcing he won't do anything on foreign policy because he needs space. this year to take different positions so he can flip-flop after what we call election day and he calls inevitablity day. >> he's done the campaigning on the bus tour in iowa in august. i went out and interviewed the president out in iowa on that bus tour s that when he stopped governing and just became campaigner in chief? >> absolutely not. in september he put out a deficit proposal that the republicans rejected and president obama, like mitt romney and others, had to seek his party's nomination, and he clinched it tonight. technically, he had to start campaigning. but president obama has a record of achievement, a record of accomplishment. he wants to get out there and talk to the american people about job creation, he wants to talk to the middle class about preserving programs at a time when republicans want to cut to the bone.

this is going to be an epic struggle. it's going to be a close election. at the end of the day, president obama wants to win. >> if 8% unemployment and trillions of dollars in deficits mark this presidency -- >> he wants people to make a choice. who's the person that's out of touch, is it barack obama or mitt romney? >> here's what's surprising to me. go ahead and make a point. >> it seems to me, from the point of view of governing, both parties have abandoned governing this year. we've got huge issues coming up before the end of the year. they've all shoved them until after the elections are over. >> the house hasn't. the senate hasn't. they haven't passed a budget in three years. the house republicans have put their stamp on where they think the country should go. >> i think that's a good point. >> it's a recipe for disaster as well. >> gloria, this is surprising to me as well, and you were touching on this one. you were questioning stephanie cutter, the deputy campaign manager for the obama-biden campaign, and the president said this today in a speech before

newspaper publishers and editors, when he said they're not even thinking of contingency plans if, in fact, the united states supreme court were to strike down the health care reform law in june. they're not thinking about that. they're not preparing for that possibility. that sounds a bit irresponsible, don't you think? >> it sounds a bit unreal to me. they can't -- >> they just assume the supreme court is going to uphold the law. >> they don't want to get out ahead of the supreme court decision although the president did seem to challenge the supreme court before it made its decisions decisions, which i think is an unwise move. they don't want to get out in front of it too much. if she were to say, yes, we have a contingency plan, that would be to admit to us that, in fact, the supreme court might decide against them. >> our senior legal analyst says he thinks it's going down. you'd better start having some contingency plans. >> i believe the responsible thing to do would be to think about what you would be talking about, not only politically because that's the easy part, but substantively.

and by the way, the republicans also have to come up with some kind of a plan because they've been talking about repeal and replace. they need to tell the american people what they would replace it with. >> with health care, wolf, the issue is not just politically who gets some benefit. you've got a whole industry. you've got insurance companies and providers and doctors who don't know what the future's going to hold. if there's no plan "b," you leave this industry in chaos. it's terribly unfair to the people who are working hard trying to provide health care in this country. >> i suspect there are contingency plans under way. they don't want to talk about it right now. >> they're already implementing the health reform act. >> if the supreme court says the mandates are unconstitutional, you know what, they have to go back basically to the beginning and start all over again. let's just consider that thought for a moment. everyone stand by. up next, our other breaking news tonight. the dallas area tornadoes, serious damage, terrifying video, but amazingly, amazingly, as of right now, no fatalities.

there was major tornado damage in the dallas area tonight, but amazingly, no lives lost. this man is standing what appears to be a totally intact bedroom minus the roof. other i am anls boggle the mind.

a truck picking up trailers and cabs and tossing them hundreds of feet into the area. we've enhanced the video so you can better see just what's going on. look at this. massive trailers being swept up in the storm, debris being swept all around it. power lines short out. tornadoes like this one forcing the love field as well as the dallas/ft. worth international airport to shut down for a time. scores of aircraft damaged, hundreds of flights cancelled. especially hard hit, the cities of arlington, kennedale, and lancaster. hundreds of houses damaged in lancaster, injuries in kennedale, but so far no reported fatalities. we're thankful a man in lancaster named vincent tang is all right. he didn't seek shelter when the storm blew by. he went up to his roof to get this video.

>> look at that. the debris fly. oh, my god. please. oh, shoot. oh, my god, look at that. holy smokes. it's about a block or two away from my house. look at that. oh, shoot. oh, shoot. oh, holy shoot. look at that. oh, my god. holy moly. the debris is flying. holy moly. oh, my god. oh, my god. holy moly. >> as they say, don't try this at home. the voice in the picture is of vincent tang, who probably should have taken cover. we're glad, though, he is all right. we're also glad no one, as far as we know, died in the storm.

i spoke about that earlier tonight with the dallas mayor, mike rawlings. >> i talked to the families who saw those trailers coming towards their house and land in the back of their house. at the same time, the next door neighbor is alive. the amazing story of a couple who had just left the house going to work at the children's medical center there and just five minutes later, the house is destroyed by one of those trailers. a couple of retired ladies that have lived there since the '60s were in their house. the whole back of the house is destroyed, but they're okay. >> when you say there's no fatalities and no significant injuries, i assume you're referring to the city of dallas. you're the mayor of dallas. is that true all in the entire dallas/ft. worth area? >> we've been reaching out to

the whole area, and we're not hearing of any fatalities at this point. >> that's great to hear. >> everyone is still assessing and getting all the information back in, but the information we've got is, while there's been major damage done, that people are walking away with their lives. >> glass mayor mike rawlings speaking with me earlier. just got to dallas is our reporter ed lavandera. you just got there. what damage have you seen? >> reporter: we're witnessing an incredible story of survival in the city of arlington. i want to give you a quick piece of video to set this up in arlington. the video you're seeing was shot by a neighbor who lives across the street from the lawrence family. nicole lawrence and her two sons were there. the family was having a hard time seeing through the trees just what was coming their way. as the video starts to progress, you can see the tornado -- what they came to learn was a tornado

was getting much closer, and you can see the wind starting to suck debris and tvs and other belongings out of their garage. that family ducked for cover, but it was the lawrence family that was inside the house that you see behind me. here is nicole lawrence, who survived this incredible situation. she was in the house, wolf, with her two sons. i walked through the house just a little while ago. i cannot believe you're standing here next to me. >> it's only by god's grace that i'm here. >> reporter: it's hard here at night to give you a sense of what happened inside this house, but there's only one little area of the house that has any ceiling left intact, and it was the bathroom that nicole and her two sons had jumped into. walk us through the moments leading up to that hit. >> 30 minutes prior to it happening, my mother called me to let me know the storm was pretty bad. i knew a storm was coming. i had no idea it was going to be quite this. and my son colin, my 18-year-old came home from school and had a sandwich, and we were watching

the news. the hail started coming down, and once the hail stopped, our electricity went out, and i thought, that's it. we need to get in the bathtub. not maybe five minutes after us sitting in the bathtub and making some phone calls. i called my husband to let him know that we were safe and to find out where he was. it blew through. it was like a freight train. it was very, very loud. >> your sons told me that they threw you into the bathtub, and they got on top of you. >> they were over me, yes. so, yeah. >> we kind of walked around this neighborhood. every house -- i mean, there's some house that's have some damage, but nothing like this. >> right. >> reporter: one neighbor described that the tornado literally dropped down, hit your house, and went back up. you were the only house hit, is

that the way you understand it? >> apparently so. i've noticed some trees in the neighborhood that were down, but i think our neighbors over here had some roof damage and then across the street, but our home was the only one that was damaged like this. >> reporter: and when you walked out of the bathroom -- i was asking your son. you walked out of the bathroom, and you looked up, and there was nothing there. >> i had no idea what to expect when i came out of the bathroom. we have a vent -- i guess it's like the vent for whatever in the bathroom, and it was gone. so i could see the tree over my bathroom. so i knew part of the roof was gone. but when i came out, i had no idea to expect this at all. >> reporter: and what we see here behind you, these are two bedrooms here in front of the house, right? >> yes. this is my oldest son, this is anthony's room, and right next to it is colin's. >> reporter: and your son told me that people were walking up to the house, running up to the house trying to see -- >> my neighbor across the street who works for at&t, and one of

his friends apparently was in the military. he knew what to do. actually, his voice was the first voice that i heard. he said, is everybody okay? and, of course, my boys had gotten out because they had shoes on. i didn't have shoes on. but he assisted me to get into my closet and got me shoes and then kind of carried me out in the front. we smelled gas. so my husband was within minutes. once he got here, we got in the car and went to north arlington to my mom's house. >> well, i'm so grateful that you're here and able to tell us this story. it's been an amazing day for nicole lawrence and her two sons. her son told me he's getting ready, i believe it's for his prom. he found his tuxedo still hanging up in his closet intact, everything clean. so he can still go to the prom, right? >> he can. >> reporter: that's good news. wolf, back to you. >> at least they're all right. you can always rebuild, and you

start from scratch. at least they have their lives and their family. thank god for that and thank you as well. i want to show our viewers new video we're seeing taken along the road from ft. worth to arlington. the person who took this had the good sense to pull over. you can see the funnel cloud crossing the highway and cutting alongside it. there are warning sirens going off in the background. as you can see, the camera is remarkably steady considering what's in front of the lens just down the road. joining us now, the arlington mayor robert clark. mayor, thanks very much for coming in. how much damage did your community suffer? >> quite a bit. we have about 150, 155 homes partially destroyed, some totally destroyed. we had a nursing home that was partially destroyed. but you know what, wolf, three people were transported, and of those three people, two are okay, one is in serious condition. but we dodged a huge bullet today. you've seen the video.

you understand what happened in arlington, texas, today, and in dallas, texas, today. >> i've covered a lot of these tornadoes, hurricanes over the years, and there's always a search and rescue mission. they go house to house to make sure no one is stuck inside. is that still continuing, or you've completed the search and rescue operation? >> we've done the primary search. they're in the process of doing the secondary search, and they'll probably search again tomorrow. we feel as if we have everybody out now. they won't give up until they've gone through all the searches. >> and as far as arlington is concerned, a similar situation in dallas/ft. worth, other cities and communities in your area, as far as you know, no fatalities, just some injuries. >> as far as i know, that is correct. i'm telling you, we dodged a bullet today. >> what did you think when you saw those trailers, those tractor-trailers flying around as a result of the storm, the

tornadoes, as if they were little toys. in all my years, i've never seen anything like that, but i wonder if you have. >> i haven't seen anything quite that severe, but i'm wondering was who's in that trailer or who's below that trailer that's going to get hurt? i always think of the people involved, just like this house, and the fact is i thought, when i walked up here, nobody could have survived this, but they did, and they did all over the city of arlington and dallas. >> was the warning sirens that went off, the alarms, the alerts, did the system work, in other words? >> the system worked great. alarms went off at the proper time, and they went on for an hour or two because we kept having storms come through the city. they worked great. they gave people lots of warning. >> mayor, thanks very much and thanks for the good news that no serious injuries, no fatalities. we'll stay in close touch with you. robert cluck is the mayor of
