this just in. we have been telling you about the severe weather outbreak in the midwest. as we go on the air, we have a tornado on the ground. storm chasers are chasing it, south of salina. jacqui jeras is watching this as well. we saw a huge funnel cloud on the ground. >> this is a large, violent tornado. this is what it looked like three minutes ago. we are tracking this live. sometimes we get spotty interception from storm chasers as they're live streaming. this tornado was reported first near genessee oh, near little river, and now it is near langley, if you know that area. elf worth, and saline county.

violent tornado being tracked and moving quickly to the north and east around 45 miles per hour. this is pretty rural at this point. we haven't heard any reports of damage yellow light. we're going to continue to track this. one of my big concerns is this is moving towards salina. they are not in the warning as we speak, but it is heading your way, you need to be on big time alert for this storm. let's show you the storm chaser network. this is what that tornado wedge, we call it a wedge when you don't see a point on the bottom of the tornado. people say what does that mean. it means it is large and causing a lot of destruction which is out there. i want to go to the maps, show you the areas i'm talking about, give you more specifics. here is wichita, kansas. it is the area just west of there. so far today we've had a lot of tornados. 29 of them being reported so far, but they have been rural. they haven't hit a populated

area. 20 tornados is an outbreak, we are up to 29. the concern is the sun is going down, they're moving towards populated areas and things are going to be hitting the fan so to speak unfortunately in the upcoming hours. so here is the tornado we're talking about. that's what that signature looks like on radar. we also had confirmation reports of tornados on each of the cells, and also one near north platte, nebraska. this is a very large area of the country being impacted by this today. and we have watches. >> can i jump in. if we have that video. we can't see enough of the video when you see that to get that on tape, and if we have anyone live to show you, as we continue to talk. i don't mean to cut you off. we're going to do this awhile. rob marciano was in kansas. that's his shot there. rob is on the phone with us. what are you seeing? we're looking at your shot now. >> we are to the right of the

wall cloud, mesocyclone that jacqui told you about. a cell moved through, we have been watching it in woodward, oklahoma. dipping into a valley, then we come up over this ridge, you'll see what we're looking at. we are looking for this to tighten up a little bit around the circulation. get a little better organized, which it has been doing the past five or ten minutes. there you see wind turbine. you see the precipitation coming down. that is the area where if a funnel were to form and drop it would happen. so we're driving north, trying to stay ahead of it, because you get behind it, it is a lost cause. at this point, no tornado touchdown with this, but starting to look more well developed. >> you're traveling. the signal is in and out.

that's rob marciano doing some storm chasing, our meteorologist here. there's an active tornado on the ground. jacqui jeras, our meteorologist in studio, as soon as we get his picture back, we'll bring it back. rob, can you tell the viewers where you are? says near at ka, kansas. which highway, you're traveling north? >> we are traveling north at this point on the highway. there's a lot of farm roads that chris cross this part of the county. when you get up on the storm, decided to stop. need to be on the eastern flank, otherwise, no sense going after it, gets too dangerous. i don't know if you're seeing the stream. a little more dense rain shaft there, who knows what's wrapped in that. >> we can't see it. jacqui is pointing out where you

are. >> rob makes a great point, he is near medicine lodge. it has a wall cloud. possible reports of tornados touching down with it. the tornados we have seen in the last couple hours have been spotty. i think conditions are more favorable. that video of the wedge tornado, that's the storm here. the one at the top of the hour with the funnel on the ground, that's the tornado near salina. this is the tornado rob is on. all of these storms are rotating, all are potentially producing tornados and causing a lot of destruction potentially as they move into populated areas. >> jacqui, what's your twitter address? >>@jacqui jeras. >> people are saying it is windy in kentucky, too. if you have any information, tweet me, don lemon, cnn,

or@jack or@jackiejeras. doesn't go far. we have another developing story, the agency trusted with the life of the commander in chief, unsmiling men in black, guys with earpieces with sunglasses, talk into their sleeves. this flies in the face of that cleep cut image, hookers in hotel rooms. a dozen secret service relieved accused of hanke pang ee before barack obama's entry in that country. we will get to dan loathe ian. first, this is what he is reporting tonight. >> reporter: while president obama was meeting with top ceos and talking energy and trade, his message was overshadowed from the agency sworn to protect

him. several women, some believed to be prostitutes were brought to this hotel by secret service personnel, later involved in a dispute over payment. >> when was the president informed about that? >> the president was made aware of the incident in question yesterday. the white house was informed thursday evening. >> reporter: former "the washington post" reporter ron kessler was the first to reveal that scandal. >> one of the agents refused to pay one of the prostitutes. she complained to the police. they, in turn, reported it to the secret service. the secret service also involved the state department and the white house and the agents were removed on thursday and replaced. >> reporter: in addition, the sources say about a dozen undercover secret service agents and uniformed officers were allegedly involved, relieved of duty and sent home. they were not in the president's personal protective detail, but part of a support team.

most but not all were replaced because it was determined existing staffing was adequate. even though prostitution is legal in some areas of columbia, law enforcement experts say this is highly embarrassing for the agency and a breach of conduct. >> they represent the president of the united states and u.s. ambassador. their behavior is expected to be at the highest level at all times while conducting government business an forp country. >> reporter: in another allegation, they confirmed five members of the military supporting the secret service may also have been involved in inappropriate conduct, allegedly at the same hotel. he did win donovan says the agency takes all allegations of misconduct seriously and that the matter was turned over to the office of professional responsibility which handles internal investigations. >> joining us live, dan lothian. where does this investigation go

now? >> reporter: that investigation continues, that internal investigation i am told by one u.s. official they will be conducting a number of interviews, trying to look specifically at who was involved and what happened on wednesday. again, this investigation is still early on. as for service members, we are told by defense department officials they continue to be confined to rooms, not allowed contact with anyone else, still here in country. one military official saying he is, quote, disappointed by the entire incident. >> dan lothian, appreciate your reporting traveling with the president. thank you. the secret service is overseen by department of homeland security. i want to go to the phone where new york congressman peter king is standing by. as chairman of the house committee on homeland security, congressman, you were briefed on this investigation. what do you know. >> yes, thank you.

basically my understanding, it was 11 secret service agents. they did bring women back to their rooms. there was -- one of the women did not leave her room in the morning, the hotel manager tried to get into the room, finally the police came, the woman did leave, secret service agent apparently she said owed her money and that was basically it. then the police finally report with the american embassy they were having to deal with foreign citizen in the country. secret service saw that, saw the report. they immediately began an investigation. also special agent in charge at the field office in miami began an investigation. the investigation moved quickly and 11 agents were removed from the country. they were backfilled immediately. there was never a gap in security. each of the positions was filled from agents from miami and from san juan, puerto rico. >> i have to ask you this.

what's the possibility of some sort of shake down, just asking, going on here, because as we have heard, prostitution is legal in some parts of columbia. is there something going on at this particular hotel? or could the agents have been set up in some way? >> no, first of all, my understanding, there is no allegation of any crime being committed. what it does, it violates secret service code of conduct. their job is to protect the president of the united states. they can't put themselves in compromising position where they could be black mailed or threatened. nor should they bring prostitutes into a security zone 48 hours before the president of the united states is arriving. so the main problem here for the secret service agents is not so much a criminal violation but really it is a dereliction of duty, not doing their job. i know you asked before about investigation. my understanding is all day today at secret service headquarters these 11 agents

were being interviewed and questioned because director sullivan wants to know what happened and why it happened. >> congressman peter king, thank you very much. appreciate you taking out time to speak with us. >> thank you, don. >> this is our breaking news story. we told you about tornados hi hitting the middle of the country. there's our storm chasers out there on the ground. rob marciano is a storm chaser. jacqui jeras is in the cnn severe weather center. we're going to keep you updated on this very incredible situation going on in the country. so dire, so important that they gave more than 24 hour notice of severe tornado outbreak in the mid part of the country and it is happening now. see it live here on cnn. don't go away. concentrated relief that goes to work in seconds and freshens breath. new tums freshers. ♪ tum...tum...tum...tum... tums! ♪ [ male announcer ] fast relief, fresh breath, all in a pocket sized pack.

weather on cnn. our meteorologist jacqui jeras is helping us out. rob marciano is out storm chasing today. at the top of the broadcast we saw live from rob's point of view a funnel cloud. >> he is watching a wall cloud where a tornado would drop out of. we have been also watching storm chasers north of rob which is producing a tornado. from nick nolte, the closest down is marquette. that's one angle and view of that situation. here is another one. you can see the dark, ominous clouds. sometimes live streaming is picks he willized, it is hard to

see. we will continue to monitor those. we know from multiple reports that's a large wedged tornado about a quarter mile wide that will produce damage, anything in its path. thankfully, it is pretty rural, we will continue to pass that information onto you. let's show you what we're talking about on the map. interstate 135 here, salina, kansas. this is the most dangerous one, this is the large tornado on the ground now, and it is moving to the north and east about 40 miles per hour. so it is a pretty quick moving storm. we can show you some video now of what this storm looked like about ten minutes or so ago where we saw that tornado making that connection with the ground at the time, and one of the big concerns is that the storm is very intense, on the ground, and heading towards a populated area. salina, kansas is not in warning but you're under the watch. this storm may be 20 to 30

minutes from you, so we will watch and wait and see as it gets closer whether or not you get into the warning. it has taken a little hop to the west, center of rotation. that concerns me that salina is a little more into the window as that storm continues to develop. let's show you two other storms. one near hutchinson weak end. that's good news. that storm is cancelled in terms of a warning, and this is the one rob is on, this storm south and west of wichita. things have been rural so far through the day today, but we're heading into populated areas and heading into nightfall. that's what makes this dangerous. watch means conditions are favorable for tornados to develop, warning means it is happening now, take cover. important to keep that distinction in mind. have your noaa radio on. that storm near salina, we're

not getting pictures like that a lot through the rest of the evening because there's so much rain with the storms. watches that are in effect are pds watches. when you hear that term, pds, stands for particularly dangerous situation, means it is not your on the other hand tornado watch, it means this is a biggie, high risk day. only a handful of days happen like this per year. there are about 5 million people potentially in the path of these storms or at least in the risk area tonight. >> you were telling people about their weather radio. want to look here. it is a little thing sometimes. someone tweeted me, tell folks to put up trampolines, things in the yard like lawn furniture. strong winds can hurl them, they become projectiles. great advice. thank you for sending that. jacqui, stand by, don't go anywhere. rob on the road near attica, kansas. you were last looking at a wall cloud. what are you seeing now?

>> it moved to the north and west, we changed it north and east, pulled off the side of the road. i don't know if the router is pulled up or if we can connect. amazing the technology we have, how folks chase used to be you had some fancy roving satellite technology with laptops, but with smart phones and ipads and connection from time to time, it will get you by. what we're seeing visually, harper county, this cell is not stopped to organize southern southeastern flank where the mesocyclone would be where the tornado may drop. right now, we'll focus on the next batch that moved through woodward, oklahoma. that has been tornado warned for 30 or 40 minutes, and from what i understand, a couple of

reports of a tornado on the ground somewhere with that cell, so we're going to peel off, let this fly by. moving 40, 50 miles per hour. so just on these roads, once it gets by you, they're tough to chase. so we will wait, reposition for the woodward, oklahoma cell moving in this general direction. >> rob, as you're talking, we're putting up the one a couple minutes ago when you were on live, the pictures of that. can we get that up? there it is. rob, that thing is huge. i mean, we were looking at it, is this from rob? that's the other one. this isn't rob. >> salina is under the warning now. we mentioned salina could be in the path of the storm, you're now under that tornado warning. very dangerous, salina, take cover immediately. get to a safe place, put on a helmet, lowest level of the home helmet, this is $100,000.he home

okay. onto some dangerous territory right now. >> act like a lady. >> think like a man. >> the movie "think like a man" based on a book by steve harvey. even though it comes out next week, it has people talking and

arguing, even me and clinical psychologist jeff gardere. i spoke to him earlier. he agrees women should think like men, but first wanted to clarify exactly what that means. >> certainly thinking like a man is not like acting like a man. and that's not -- we don't want women to do that, because two wrongs don't make a right. women are close to perfect. >> you're trying to get yourself out of trouble. jeff -- >> no no no. >> who is to say that men have the right way of thinking? maybe men should think like women. maybe women are better thinkers than men. why would someone tell a woman think like a man. i find it insulting and i'm a man. >> and i understand exactly where you're coming from, where the critics are coming from. i side with steve harvey on this, even though he is not a shrink and i am. basically, what he is saying, don, act like a lady because you

are the superior sex, but think like a man. thinking like a man means getting into the head of a man, understanding how men think, understanding that we are much more simplistic in our thinking, that we're much more thinking in skewed ways that are not productive. therefore, if you know how we think like men, it will make you smarter in the relationship. that's all it is. getting that inside information. what's in the mind of a man, knowing that. >> why should women even care? >> because men do think different than women. john gray had it right. women are from venus, men are from mars. we are created equally, absolutely, but we are created different. and therefore, if you treat a man the way you think most people think, most women think, you won't have a productive relationship. know you're dealing with an inferior species, know how they

think, and you will do better as a woman in a relationship. that's all he's saying and i agree with it. >> all right, i'm sort of playing devil's advocate here. it is not that serious stuff. >> i think you see the light. >> i don't see the light. i grew up in a family of all women, only boy. i think the world would be better off if more men thought like women than the other way around. we shouldn't be lowering women's intelligence telling them to think like us. if we are knee and der thols, maybe we should think like them. how many times have you ever heard someone say think like a woman. jeff, how many times has someone said that? >> let me tell you, next book will be think like a woman, act like a gentleman. that's right, steve harvey. i can do it, too. >> you're a good sport. thank you, jeff. good to see you. >> good to see you, don. >> you think that was hot?

okay, everyone. this is breaking news that we are following on cnn. talking about severe weather. forecasters predicted the worst, and looks like we could see some

of the most powerful storms in recent memory tonight across the nation's midsection. look at this. most dramatic video we've seen, this is from salina, kansas. more than a dozen twisters have been seen so far. unfortunately, things will get worse as the night goes on. we have meteorologist rob marciano storm chasing. meteorologist jacqui jeras is there in the cnn severe weather studio, she's watching all of this for us. jacqui, stand by a moment. you can help me with the next interview. joining me by phone is sharon watson with kansas emergency state management agency. thanks for joining us. don lemon, jacqui jeras here. what are you seeing where you are? >> we are watching the same thing you are regarding the area, funnel clouds around salina, that's a great concern. we have been monitoring this storm all day. has reports of damage in certain

parts of kansas, then western portions and central portions of the state. most damage until now, fairly minor damage. power lines down, trees down, things like that. but we know the worst is still ahead of us. >> jacqui, anything for miss watson? >> we are watching two different storm chasers now on separate storms. the one in salina, kansas is this storm here. so you can see this is what we would call a wall cloud, this low-hanging area, and the tornado would come out of this area. there is a tornado warning on this. there's been a confirmed tornado from time to time. very strong wording has been issued by the national weather service out of wichita. this is something new they're trying starting this week, believe it or not. timing couldn't be better. they're using terms like, you know, large tornado on the ground, using terms like homes could be destroyed. so hopefully this will cause

people to take more action, and that's the point, we don't want people crying wolf on this situation. there are multiple tornados that have touched down across kansas. i guess sharon i would want to ask you, what are you hearing for damage reports. it is sounding pretty rural so far. >> absolutely. rush county, russell county, reports of some farm buildings impacted as well as trees and power lines effected. minor flooding in some rural areas as well as an old school building. seems like that. nothing significant that has been reported to us in terms of damage, but of course, we'll be watching for more information and as things get worse overnight, we would anticipate more damage. our emergency operation center is activated, we have staff here working all night to get information -- >> miss watson, can you stand by, sorry to interrupt. i want to say as you are talking, want to get you to wichita, kansas.

ksnw has live coverage. we're going to look at it. you were talking about damage. this was predicted 24 hours in advance with the new systems that we had. i'm sure that helped you in this situation, at least it looks like it so far. >> absolutely. we were grateful to have this advanced warning, getting to the public and urging them to take action. in kansas, we see tornados on a regular basis throughout the year. people have become used to them. so this information being in advance where we know this is a particularly dangerous situation has been very helpful to make sure everyone understands the crisis that could be ahead if we don't heed the warnings. >> sharon watson with the kansas emergency management agency. meteorologist jacqui jeras is here. we were looking at coverage from ksnw. jacqui, we're going to check in with you. stand by. ksnw reporting in wichita, heard from kansas, also hearing from

iowa state police as well, giving us information and we're monitoring all our affiliates, all our feeds. we have storm chasers on the ground. meteorologist rob marciano is on the ground, and we're following several other storm chasers as well. don't go away. we will keep you as safe as possible as we can on television, update you on breaking weather situation in the mid part of the country. we have other news, which includes the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the titanic next. we take you on a cruise ship retracing the titanic's tragic voi aj. yage. patients that i see that complain about dry mouth,

they feel like they have to drink a lot of water. medications seem to be the number 1 cause for dry mouth. dry mouth can cause increased cavities, bad breath, oral irritations. i like to recommend biotene. biotene has a full array of products. it's composed of some enzymes that you would normally find in your saliva, and it replenishes the moisture in your mouth. biotene definitely works. it makes patients so much happier.

it has been 100 years since the sinking of the titanic. this weekend marks the anniversary. a ship is retracing the voyage into the bottom. chris tells us what the mood is like. what is it, chris? >> reporter: well, don, last time we spoke it was lighter out, easier to tell i was on a ship. you might be able to see the lights hyped me on the side of the ship. there's a balcony a few decks down. that's where they're throwing a special wreath. it is for the 100th anniversary. in a few hours, it will be exactly 100 years to the minute that titanic hit the iceberg, april 14th, 11:40 p.m., ship's

time. we're about april hour ahead of eastern time. so at 11:40 p.m., there will be a moment of silence. they'll read the names of those that died on titanic that evening. and then the time it took to go beneath the sea, that's when they will throw the wreath. we will end up over the wreckage site. a couple hours ago before we talked last, we arrived over the spot where titanic put out the distress call. that's where we have been hovering. when they get to the ceremony, we will be over the stern of the ship. >> it is a bit of obsession for the people on board the ship and for others, and other people say why, i don't get it, seems kind of creepy, eery. why would you do that.

>> yeah, a lot of people think this is creepy. a lot of folks on the ship have been hearing it for months, booked tickets months ago. every time they heard it, the response is look, we don't feel this is in poor taste whatsoever. this is our way, they can't think of a better way to pay respect, memorialize those that lost their lives 100 years ago. for one woman, she lost her great grandfather, great grandmother made it out. for her, it is a chance to say hello to a man she never met and say good-bye at the same time. she said it will be an emotional evening. don't expect a dry eye in the house. for the others, they're history buffs. one woman told me this about why she wanted to be on this ship. >> i am surprised the number of people we talked to, told we were going to go on this trip said that's creepy, i wouldn't do that. i thought i don't find it creepy

at all. i love history. >> i think you could see in that video, she was wearing period clothing. there will be a lot of folks dressed in period clothing as they pay this special tribute. don? >> you can believe chris welch is out on a ship, not just standing against a black background. can't see anything. retracing the titanic. thank you, chris, appreciate it. be safe, have a good time. chicago native shock a con adds funk to her music and doesn't plan on changing. >> love chaka khan. remember rufus? she still listens to music on cassette tapes, yes, cassette tapes. and discovered her own meaning behind "i'm every woman." that was a chaka khan song

plus. ♪ chaka khan ♪ i feel for you >> i'm still in the discovery process of who i am. i can tell you how i got started. i got started at the age of a bold 16, when i ran away from home, and i started singing with local bands in chicago. got my first record deal at 17 after i joined rufus. rufus, we were -- i have to say, without that chemistry, without that band, you know, who knows where i would be. ♪ whatcha gonna do for me >> i don't write the majority of my music, but i make it mine, if you know what i mean. i don't do a song unless i feel like i've written it. ♪ i'm every woman ♪ it's all in me >> when i first recorded "i'm every woman," i felt a little silly singing it. i think i wasn't experienced

enough to feel comfortable singing that lyric. just almost kind of recently have i really begun to feel that. right now whitney is walking her true spiritual walk. and i feel from here that she's good now. she's okay. and it was of course a great loss for me and for us, of course. but you know, this is only part of her walk. ♪ someone like you >> the anthropologist sometimes comes out in me when i'm traveling, and i get to meet people, interesting people. you know. i try to go off the beaten path and see what it's really like. challenges are of course flying a lot. i don't care to fly. i don't like flying. i do it because i have to. my -- in a perfect world every time i toured i'd be on a tour bus. that's my favorite way to travel, on four wheels -- on

my question for dr. perry is about the participation of home schoolers in extracurricular activities such as football or high school band, things like that. >> shirley, it may come as a surprise to you that a recent heisman trophy winner and nfl player, tim tebow, was a home-schooled student. and there are many children who are being home-schooled. and i actually feel like they should be able to participate in their nearby schools' sports. this is a big challenge that the districts are going to have to come up with because as more and more parents are deciding to pull their children out of traditional school but they still want them to participate in some of the schools' activities, i think that the districts are going to have to find a way to make sure that this is possible. you as a taxpayer paid for a seat at that school. so the school still has an obligation to provide you with some level of education. and part of the educational experience is extracurricular activities. so whether it be band or chorus or anything else that happens after school like football, your child should be able to participate in that.

okay. these are live pictures, right? okay. live pictures now. they just froze, but -- there we go. and this is the technology these days. we're able to track storms as

they are happening. sometimes the technology will work with us. other times it won't. now it's working. this is between wichita and chaney. we were looking just minutes ago at what appeared to be some sort of either a wall cloud or a funnel cloud that was happening between wichita and chaney. and you know what? the experts can tell you better. jacqui jeras is a meteorologist here. jacqui, what is it? what was it? >> it's tough to tell. you look at video streaming like that and the resolution isn't very good, don so, i'd hate to say that's definitely a tornado. but i do know that storm spotters are confirming that tornado in kingman and reno county. we do know there is one on the ground. it's hard to tell as it's a developing situation. you see the dark clouds, but you don't see a signature in that video, not right there anyway, that tells me that there's a tornado. so i'm relying on the people on the ground that we're in touch with to tell us that. i've got another picture here, if you want to see it. where we could see it a little bit better. this is from kake tv, which is

an affiliate in wichita. and i for sure see a rain shaft. so you can see where the rain is coming down all in here and possibly behind that rain shaft is where we're seeing that tornado. these are what we call rain-wrapped tornadoes, and it's tough to see them, and you're not going to always get that beautiful stovepipe picture of a tornado. this is the area that we're talking about right here. this is kingman and reno counties. there's a very strong hook signature there on the radar that you can see. now, something else we're watching, if you remember, if you were with us earlier in the hour, we were talking about a tornado warning for selena, kansas. that has expired for the salinea part of it. but there's a confirmed tornado on the ground about three miles north and east of the see. so salina you're clear of this storm but we'll have to watch for more storms developing throughout the evening. this is going to be a long go of it. things have really been erupting. we're also watching a few storms down here into parts of oklahoma, and then look at central parts of nebraska. right here storms have been firing up. and we've had a couple of reports around the north platte

area but no significant damage has been reported thus far. so we're continuing to close in on many of these areas, don, where people live. it's a little more populated where these storms are going. so that heightens our concern along with the darkness which is setting on. this is near new cambria. is that the same storm outside of wichita? you see the dark skies. another storm chaser there. literally dozens of storm chasers out there. you know, this is a high-risk day. people have been planning for days to come into this area and watch for these storms. >> we have just a couple seconds before we move into the next show here. but if something happens, we'll certainly bring it to you. we'll break into our taped programming, jacqui. but it's interesting because it's about to get dark, you won't see it coming. you need those weather radios. >> you do. >> you need to stay tuned to cnn because we will keep you updated. our jacqui jeras is going to be staying -- >> i'll be tweeting too. >> @jacquijeras. also
