>> greta: this is a fox news alert. children buried under the rubble of an oklahoma elementary school leveled by a violent tornado. some children confirmed dead, but rescuers racing to find survivors and parents trying to find their children. 51 people now confirmed dead after a tornado slamming an oklahoma city suburb. search and rescue efforts are continuing. oklahoma governor mary fallon joins us, good evening, governor. >> good evening, greta. >> greta: i watched the press conference, i could hear your voice. it seems these horrible times, you speak for the state. you can feel the pain for the governor. am i right? >> absolutely. our hearts are broken for

people here in oklahoma and for loved ones, it's just devastating. and i just pulled up to the grade school where they're trying to find the children that have not been found yet. and your heart just breaks for parents that don't know answers to questions whether their child is safe. i've been through a lot of disasters in oklahoma but to see this size of, see how many areas are devastated just absolutely incredible, it's just beyond expressing words and we drove up tonight in this area, where the indicator was. the hospital took a major hit. there are five different schools. and looking down the highway at south major interstate i-35 there are emergency vehicles, miles down the highway itself.

the cars on the side of the highway pulled off. looks like they're topped. just caved n we lost lives. here in oklahoma today as you just said it's been a terrible, very sad day. >> maybe you can explain this, but when i hear people survived they go into these rooms and these cellars. won't an elementary school have such a area of pro stex? >> i'm not sure yet. i haven't been able to get details on this particular school whether it's an old or newer school. some schools in the state do have safe rooms and have been able to determine what the schools have at this point in time. we do know there have been

fatalities at this grade school. i'm looking at it. there are big emergency lights, and firemen have been going hand by hand searching here. but the building is just a total destruction. >> i can't imagine, i imagine there are parents there. are the parents in the area kept them away so they can do the rescue? the rescue mission? >> well, the parents are not allowed up here because it's a rescue mission at this point in time. they did have ins stances trying to unify members of parents and parents and there have been students

taken to various hospitals. just trying to find out who might be missing. and it's just been a difficult day. our communication system, cell phones and land lines have gone down. it's hard to communicate among our emergency personnel. and just pretty eerie to walk through the cities and communities. and people are just out walking. they couldn't drive or go anywhere. there is no electricity. and they've had to evacuate, keeping people safe. >> you've got a commitment from the president to cut

throughout red tape? have you spoken to president obama? has he given you that assurance? >> i have. president obama was generous to call today. i appreciate him calling and his prayers are with us z commitment that anything -- he'd be willing to help us. help with the red tape and sending resources they've approved on federal emergency declaration for our state which we need a tremendous amount of help. there has been a tremendous amount of property damage from banks, schools damaged. local hospitals, huge movie dwleerts just major destruction throughout the neighborhood. cars littered throughout miles

and miles of the area. it's a pretty long tornado from sometime. we had tornadoes yesterday in other town as cross the state. and we had another major storm today but this is by far the worst i've ever seen. i think it's going to be bigger than may 3 tornado that struck more in 1999. >> have you -- have you heard from other governors in this -- is there anything they can do to help? is that just getting in the way a little bit? >> governors are wonderful to call, offer assistance. governor perry sent three search and rescue teams. and there are so many homes and businesses and schools, many, many areas have been affected. and the fact here that they

have more help than they need they're going to have to start running people through shifts. this is a going to take a long time. there is going to be massive clean up. right now, we're just trying to hope that we can find those that may tlb and rescue those. so people have been reaching out. we're very grateful for that. >> governor, thank you. and i know this is very painful time for you and your stay. i wish you best of luck, governor. >> thank you. keep us your your prayers, keep us in your thoughts. >> you can see there is utter devastation in moore, oklahoma. tornado chaser lauren hill

joins us. good evening, lauren. >> good evening. >> did you chase this tornado? >> we did. actually. we were starting on i-35 and it was horrible. you knew the path it's going to take. and we just knew it was on the course to be the worst possible devastation. >> greta: why do you chase them? >> um, well this is our hardest chase ever experienced. before this i've been fascinated by severe weather. it's beautiful but it's destructive. and this is a first time it was one of the thing that's the power of nature is to be respected. its horrible. >> is it pry diktable enough

you can keep your distance? are you worried it's going to catch it? or it catches you? >> there is some predicability. you can watch where it's going. this temperature started so far quiet. you can tell from the color and clouds swirling around it it's gg to be much larger. and they went down and called it. this is really hard to figure out where it's going to be. it was unpredictable. >> you're going to feel the immediate wrath of the tornado but it as i wide swath and sends missiles through the

air. are you worried you're going to get hit by desfwlee you do worry. we were at one point in the video you can see debris from the high school. we had to bail south and get west of the tornado. going southwest of it, moving away you can see just debris from that wind. you can see the debris coming up into the parent tornado. we were far, farther away. so it's, yeah. yeah. >> lauren, thank you. >> thank you. >> greta: oklahoma residents says everything is gone. she joins us. i'm sorry to hear that you lost everything. >> thank you very much. i appreciate that. >> greta: i guess good news in the case of a bad news story

and we're covering so much of this, it's a weird thing to say but you're one of the lucky ones. >> yes. yes. and nobody was injured. all of our animals survived so we're doing g we're -- we've had many, many people stop by, offering help. churches have offered help. >> greta: where were you when the tornado struck? >> down in the cellar. we saw it coming. we're on 40 acres so we can see it coming for quite a ways away. my husband has video of it coming. just as it was get rgd to come, hit the house.

but we were down in the cellar. it ripped the roof off of the house. so we were taking cover in our cellar. >> greta: so it took everything that is protecting your overhead the house just went? >> yes. >> greta: just you in the cellar at this point? with no roof? >> right. yes. it was gone. >> greta: i imagine it's incredibly loud and violent. >> it was extremely loud. unbelievable. and you looked up, you can see debris flying over us. the sky, pitch black. thank goodness we left our larger animals and dogs inside of the house. and one bathroom survived. this was a miracle for sure.

>> greta: did you think you're going to die? >> no. but it was just very, very scary. extremely scary. we felt safe in the cellar. >> hard to imagine with the noise of the tornado getting hit with debris and glass and everything else, it's hard not to think you won't feel like, you know, that you're going to die. >> well, it's, yeah. >> greta: i guess you're too busy. >> just makes you appreciate live more. >> thank you, best of luck. >> thank you very much greta. >> greta: great ahead dispret search for the children in the rubble of the elementary school. it's a race against time. a live update from the scene of the school as our breaking news continues, next. both tylenol and bayer back & body

>> greta: breaking news, children buried in the rubble in oklahoma elementary school. there are children confirmed dead at that school. alicia, tell me what is going on with the attempt to dig out that rubble. >> i can you k.tell you ways back there talking to crew members they said they will be working throughout the night. i can also tell you there are people that went in from the coroner's office. the last hour is there hope? i did talk to someone there who is back there brought some other rescue members tlchl i asked him he said is there always that possibility you're going to have a pocket in there, or two. however, talking to someone

else they called it pancake rubble saying it's tight. so is there hope, there could be but it's very dangerous back there. there is a lot of metal so they're trying to keep crews safe as well. they want to remove a lot of the debris w me now is someone just back in that area, this is oklahoma county commissioner, can you tell me what you saw back there? and about how it's go something. >> there is just rubble upon rubble, it's pancaked and crammed and slid across. cars on top of the wall and each other. the sheer force of the vehicles are engrained into the concrete, you can see the wind path the cars were subjected to. >> difficult to think about children in the middle of

that. do we know was there any sort of place for them to go inside of the school? we're hearing that may not have been the case. >> i don't know about that. i can tell from you looking at the structure now i don't think there would have been many places inside of the school no matter what they'd had that would have been sufficient. the school appears to me as a layman person looking at it a direct hit. and someone in a small closet i don't know would it have done much good there is just a leveling of that structure. >> okay. thank you very much. and greta that is part of the reason here why we do not know how many times numbs but we do know there are quite a few parents tonight who are not with their children. >> the thing so troubling, and i know it's too soon to be pointing fingers but but we

used to talk about pancaking of buildings in haiti and the idea in a tornado zone, that there isn't a safe room in a school that, this is just stunning. >> exactly. actually, on the staff i was talking to someone who had been through the 1999 tornado. and they were talking about pancaked buildings. so you're right. you're exactly right. i talked to residents who say their homes weren't prepared either so. sometimes it takes this in order to make something new. and that is the best they can do. >> thank you. >> coming up, tornado survivors telling their story. you're going to hear from them as our live coverage continues.

>> greta: more breaking news. a tornado threat is far from over. in the fox extreme weather center is tracking the storm. janice are there storm threats now of counties in the u.s. under threat? >> yes. i'll goat that in just a moment. i want to go over stats we have coming in right now from the moore, oklahoma tornado. estimated two miles wide at one point. 40 minutes on the ground, carving a 20-mile path. they did have a 16 minute tornado warning before the tornado touched down. you know, that is quite a long time. they were under tornado watch for hours before that. touched down around 3:01 local time. preliminary survey saying ef 4 with winds up to 200 miles per hour but they're going seas

damages and winds could go up. we talk about may tornado probability in tornado alley, this is typically where they see the most tornadoes in may. there it s you know, oklahoma city towards kansas city this, is where we see the greatest amount of form and activity. as mentioned still looking at potential for severe weather tonight. we have tornado watches in affect until 2:00 a.m. 3:00 a.m. and this line of storms continues to move eastward, slowly. to parts of oklahoma city, through arkansas and also, towards missouri and illinois. we're dealing with several severe thunderstorm warnings in the red is where we have our tornado warnings this storm continues to move eastward, very well developed. this super cell and pinks you can see here is an indication

of heavy rain or hail. we're looking for a tornado on doppler radar. so we'll continue to monitor that. that moves eastward. we had a tornado warning looks like that has been lifted for parts of north texas. the threat continues tonight. all of the areas here are shaded in yellow. then, we've got that no weather activity you need to be alert. taking a look at tomorrow severe threats heading into to the day, late afternoon evening, we're still looking at the threat moving into the ohio river valley. then that bull's eye, again now for parts of texas moving into arkansas and louisiana so this is the area we're going

to be watching carefully. this has been a three-day event. we've seen incredible amounts of rain with this storm system. four to six inches of rain. we're going to be dealing with rain on top of that. search and rescue qolg gog to be hindered by more bad weather and heavy rain. >> two questions. you said 40 minutes on the ground? i have no sense of reverence but that is unbelievable. second thing is the odds. could it get hit tomorrow? you've got all of this rubble which is like flying missiles if fierce winds come through there. >> the short answer is yes. i don't think that we'll see the storm magnitude that we

saw today. we can see very strong winds, 60, 70 miles per hour. so co-see hail, i don't think we're going to see a tornado like this. this is a once in a lifetime event. >> greta: just 40 minutes on the grouchbltd usually five or 10 minutes? it can last from a minute or two, to five minutes. 15 minutes but when you see i tornado lasting 40 minutes they can last up to an hour. 40 minutes is a very long time for a storm like this to hold together z to cause damage. these big temperatures you can see is farmland not heavily populated. it went over densely populated neighborhoods. >> with a hurricane, if it stays in one place keeps pounding and pounding it can

be damaging. the fact this had a 20 mile path, i mean, it's going for 40 minutes. is that enhanced with ability to destroy? >> absolutely. moving slowly so. anything, she was interviewing that person talking about the structures. greta if you weren't underground when this storm is going over, you zrnt a chance, unfortunately. you had to be underground. they zrnt a chance those poor, poor children. >> greta: you menged our colleagues on the ground toughest assignment. not as bad as families but it's tough for our colleagues as well on the ground. janice, thank you. >> of course, greta. >> greta: parents you know they're there. families hoping they'll get

news the tornado was a direct hit on that school. tonight the children are buried in that rubble, and teachers. our live coverage continues next. >> one of the teachers said the day care was okay. we saw the destruction. fortunately we found him z everything was okay so we're going home. hi, i'm terry and i have diabetic nerve pain. i worked a patrol unit for 17 years in the city of baltimore. when i first started experiencing the pain, it's, it's hard to describe because you have a numbness... but yet you have the pain like thousands of needles sticking in your foot. it was progressively getting worse, and at that point i knew i had to do something. when i went back to my healthcare professional... that's when she suggested the lyrica. once i started taking the lyrica, the pain started subsiding.

>> greta: this is a fox news alert. you're looking live in an elementary school level bid that tornado. rescuers tearing through the rubble there trying to find children who may still be alive. residents are running for cover during the tornado. melissa newton was one of them. she joins us. >> thanks for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> greta: is the description running for your life accurate one? >> that was an accurate assessment. i was at work when the storm started developing. my husband is a chief meteorologist here in oklahoma city area he sent me a text message and said please get home, get our dogs. get beneath ground. soy just left work right then. and i didn't. and about 30 minutes later i did leave work. i am heading south on i-35 i am listening to my husband on the radio. he says tornado on the ground

heading towards moore. i'm crossing into moore from the oklahoma city limits at this point z looked out to the left i can see the funnel and i can see the tornado coming straight at me. at this point cars were stopping on the highway, underneath overpasses to take cover. and hail is just coming down about the size of the golf balls. it's hard to just get home. but i thought, oh, my god. i'm going to either get hit by this tornado here in my car, or the tornado is going to hit my home where my dogs were. and so i got home. i threw my dogs into the shelter. and got in there in about two minutes later that tornado hit my neighborhood. >> greta: did it hit your house? >> my house has minor damage. so, thankfully, we're okay. our neighbors... just a street

later, not -- just gob. homes are gone. >> greta: i understand you just move there'd. >> three months ago. from dallas area. familiar with tornadoes down there as well but i was a news reporter and in dallas, foert worth moved here to join my husband. and what a welcome surprise. >> greta: so, the homes near you are destroyed but yours just scrapes? >> thankfully. i feel for our neighbors. just a couple streets away lost everything. i feel for the families who have lost family members and loved ones here. it's just devastating. a devastating day for the community. >> what is it look? when you're in your home in the shelter area,.

>> i got in the shelter and heard a roaring sound. when i was a reporter ask interviewed people who went through tornadoes they said it sounded like a freight train. it sounded like a jet engine. going over our house z everything was kind of shaking a little bit. and just got quiet. it's over. >> did, how long did it seem to last? >> so brief. very quick. the wind, you can hear the winds picking up but then, the roaring jet engine sound was very sfaft. -- fast, then waits over. you didn't know was that it? you don't know. you can't see anything. you don't know if it's a tornado? is it over? can i get out? so i waited about five more minutes cell phone service is spotty out here. i couldn't make phone calls down in the shelter. i got the dourj get out.

looked around. assess mig street. it's just covered in debris. but my home is standing soy didn't think it was that bad. and i turned the corner and went to the next street over z homes are leveled. >> my husband doesn't know about that waiting 30 minutes but he might know now. >> greta: this is good news for you but your community is suffering immensely. we've got an awful a lot of attention on that he will meant tri school. we don't know the status of those children. we're hopeful. i don't know if you know it looks very grim. but thanks for joining us ichl happy for you and your family. >> thank you, greta. >> greta: chaos and devastation all over oklahoma tonight. jeff, you chased this tornado

describe to it me. >> i was filming through the city. positioned about where this developed and we -- at this point it was developing towards this area, similar to the may 3, 1999 at this storm. probably a cord a half mile wide. and that occurred and went through the hard of the storm when it did that, it went through a heavy areas that will go over but the amphitheater, shopping centers happening at 1:54. went through that area about 2:30. so it happened quickly.

and so it's a mile to mile and a half wide. and that is why ichl confused. >> greta: when you chase a tornado do you nop a car and chase? look out of the window hold your cram up and follow it? is that what this is? >> no. >> greta: okay. >> there is a lot of science we use use and deploy from communications. and going down the field, reporting what we're seeing. it's the first one to explode where the storm is now up and going as we say.

saw that back and we had a tornado watch issue. and just closed very fast. we had a cold front and had a lot of wind shear in place. and that is what happened. unfortunately that was the tornado in the area. >> greta: do you get worried about your safety? >> absolutely n missouri one of the days a couple years back. back in 99 across five counties including moore r moore, i felt one through new castle over into dell city.

later on got struck out west almost got hit by tornado number three. just have to be careful of what is going on around you at all times. there is a lot of people like us out here doing this in the scientific point of view, meteorology and people with phd in sciences we should study storms and tornadoes and relay that information for warnings to help people take shelter to be able to pass the tornado. that is what we do. >> thank you very much. >> thank you, greta. >> and straight ahead, there are still many children tonight buried in that rubble. there are dozens of children in the hospital. an update on the victims coming up. if you're suffering from constipation, miralax or metamucil may take days to work. or faster relief, try dulcolax laxative tablets. dulcolax provides gentle relief overnight unlike miralax and metamucil that can take up to 3 days.
