large tornado, black wall, it was coming right at us. normally, obviously, we're not normally that close. this situation evolved very fast and the tornado strengthened incredibly rapidly and took a right turn right at us. >> one of your brother storm chasers, greg johnson, verified what was going on, at the time this video was taken. in fact, his vehicle was forced off the road. did you see that? >> yeah. i believe he was just behind us. we saw -- we saw him in the ditch, during all this, too. i know he drives a little bit higher profile vehicle so i bet the wind got to it really good. >> that is what happened. he said in fact they caught air. at one point he believed there were only two tires on the ground. did you feel like your vehicle was being lifted by the twister? >> you know, the wind was getting really strong. there for a time, i was worried that maybe we would get blown

over. i really wasn't in that spot that we were going to get, you know, lifted and taken away by the tornado. i think it was far enough behind us but we were taking some really strong wind. among the tornadoes you've seen before, brandon, describe for us the level of damage you think this tornado produced. was it more or less? >> i'm not exactly sure what structure this tornado hit but it was very apparent. the radar damage, it was a violent tornado. i'm pretty sure anything in its path would be nearly destroyed. >> as you were proceeding, brandon, were you doing something different, more hazardous than usual in terms of chasing this storm? there's a term called core punching. do you know what that is? >> i've heard that term. i wouldn't say -- i really wouldn't say that, you know. a lot of times core punches is you're driving through the hail to get right in the middle of it. we were in the correct position.

it just turned a little bit south. with the other people in front of us on the road, we got trapped in. >> we were also hearing reports from people describing massive sized hail, anywhere from orange sized hail up to grapefruit sized hail. were you seeing that as you were driving through this mess? >> no. we actually -- we came in from the south so we could avoid all the hail. i don't care about getting my vehicle beat up even though it happened anyway today. we came from the south and we didn't see any hail. >> brandon, one of the things that was terrifying watching this unfold even from here on the east coast was knowing so many people were trapped on the highway. they were trying to escape and the highway turned into a parking lot. why did this storm surprise you and so many people? >> well, you know, the national weather service and the storm prediction center did a great job on predicting this multiple days in advance. i believe somewhere that some media outlet here had told

people they need to try and evacuate or drive south. you know, the roads became flooded, the interstates are flooded, people are trying to drive away from the storm, which was just a terrible idea. i don't -- i don't think the storms surprised so many people as there were so many people stranded on the road. >> yeah. seems like an odd request, right? mostly you always hear about taking shelter and trying to protect yourself. evacuation doesn't usually seem to be part of this. >> i think it was so huge. i mean, they thought it was going to take out oklahoma city, that it was such a massive storm system. brandon, thanks for talking to us. wow, your pictures are incredible and your experience is incredible. we appreciate you sharing it. >> thanks, brandon. two of the storm victims, a mother and her infant baby, their car was swept up in the tornado and the victims sucked out by the powerful winds. they were found on the road. dozens of other people also trapped on the roads as they

tried to run. joining us live with that part of the story this morning, mike to b to bi tobin. do we think a lot of people took to the road and that's what happened? >> reporter: as you know now, when he you're in the car, you're up above the ground and not as protected as you would be when you find shelter below ground or get in storm dichls at times. it looks like we're through the worst of the storms in oklahoma city. still flash flood warnings in effect because so much water was dumped. you talk about the people on the road. we have remarkable video of all the traffic that was snarled, as you can see, some of the funnel clouds off in a distance. as you look at the different types of video, sometimes you can see the funnel clouds moving around, taking out the power transformers and taking out big sections of the grid in oklahoma city and different other places where we have the -- this remarkable stringer video.

also, in terms of remarkable video, what you have from this storm with the multiple vortices being formed. quickly, they would disappear. you can see the funnel clouds form, reach to the ground and retreat back to the sky. so many cameras out here and so many different funnel clouds being formed as you had thunderstorm on top of thunderstorm. because of all the water that came down, because of all the storms, the rescue crews have not been able to get in and make a good assessment of the damage. we're just getting to the pioin we're starting to get a look at the damage. you see el reno, oklahoma. you see a lot of vecked damaged, on the i-40 corridor, a lot of people trying to get home and beat the storm. not so lucky and not very well protected when they get in the vehicle. the worst has let up. the rain has passed, not seeing big electricity and lightning flashes in the sky any longer.

rescue crews just getting out in those badly damaged areas and starting to make a better assessment thus far. the latest assessment in terms of power, 54,000 homes in this area alone without power due to the force of the storm, transformers taken out, power lines taken out and large sections of road underneath water at this stage of the game. back to you in new york. >> mike, thanks so much. >> mike tobin, just talking about that. to make matters worse, beyond the five deathings, multiple injuries and property damage and being slammed with major flooding in some areas. look at this driver of the suv plowing through water nearly covering his front headlights. rick has been tracking the severe weather the past 24 hours doing and incredible job. he joins us now with the very latest from our own fox news weather center. >> you take look at video and see major roads covered with

water and people stuck out there. imagine all those people out on those roads. at that time, we saw that live shots yesterday of those cars who were stuck there and then the flooding happening, so you can't get anywhere from the flooding, can't get anywhere from the traffic. fortunately, the largest tornado was right there, as you were just seeing that tornado form around el reno, where we had the large wedge tornado and appears the damage right before it got into oklahoma city, still reports of damage, including one in the moore area again, just 11 days after the big tornado that went through there, another tornado, more minor tornado but smaller tornadoes hitting around the oklahoma city area, all of them rain wrapped so you had no visual clue these storms were coming at all. flooding is a big concern. take a look at the weather maps and you can see exactly how much rain has fallen in the last 48 hours. a big swath has seen 4 to 8

inches of rains and up to 12 inches in the joplin, missouri area and the ozarks and that runs off to the streams and bigger rivers. eventual eventually, we will have a major flooding condition around the mississippi river, in and around st. louis and cresting in the flood stage. you see this maroon color, flash flooding in the oklahoma city area, not exactly where mike tobin is, but south of the city, it is raining again. we have been having rain for much of the overnight hours, pushing 12 hours now a lot of heavy rain across the area and heavy rains across indiana and kentucky right now, still dealing across areas of missouri and tornado watch has expired. i'll get that off the map here. and still to the south and east of the city, still seeing very heavy rain. we will see more severe weather, moves a little farther to the

east and not talking about as big of a tornado concern. i'm sure we will see tornadoes today. oklahoma city, you are clear and a little bit farther off to the east and south. much of the central area of texas including dallas stretching towards del rio and the great lakes and tomorrow, it moves towards the big cities and will see it in new york city, philadelphia, d.c., baltimore, all these areas potentially for tornadoes for your sunday afternoon across those big cities. >> rick, thanks so much for that. obviously you'll be standing by for the rest of the program. let's look at this. this is a meteorologist from the weather channel, hurt after the tornado hunt car in which she was riding was thrown some 200 yards. there, you see the aftermath of that. that's the suv mike bettes and two others were in. everyone was wearing seatbelts and they were able to walkway from this banged up vehicle.

a weather channel has been in the field since may and this is the first time they've been hurt chasing storms. this is the rest of your headlines. the worst day of the hust houst fire department. four hurt and one in critical condition. it engulfed the hotels and attached restaurant. crews went inside thinking people might be trapped. a roof suddenly collapsed, killing four firefighters, three men and a woman. the cause of this fire is being investigated. new developments overnight in the irs scandal that may show how widespread targeting of conservatives was. as many as 88 employees have turned over documents related to this investigation. the irs told them to keep all these documents on their computers. the irs is facing multiple investigations over the abuse of power. it already missed two deadlines to submit documents to

welcome back. the irs is under scrutiny big time for targeting conservative groups but the trouble doesn't seem to end there. last week, armed federal homeland security agents reportedly showed up at rallies across the country as tea partier s gathered to protest the irs scandal. did they have a right to be there, these armed dhs agents or is this just another example of bully tactics from a government out of control? joining us now is scottie, news director for the tea party news network. good morning. >> good morning! >> tell us about this. this seems incredible to me. there were protests across the country by tea party activists saying, listen, let's get the truth about what happened on this irs targeting of tea party patriots, of constitutionalists, bill of rights advocates and apparently, at least one demonstration, according to one report, there were dhs

department of homeland security armed guards there. tell us what you know and what is that about? >> first, any facts, dhs is a product of 9/11. their goal is to protect federal buildings. a lot of these rallies did not occur on federal property yet we still find videotapes and still seeing pictures of supposedly these department of homeland security officials at these rallies. it is a military component of dhs. the coast guard is under the dhs category. they are there to protect the federal property. this is very scary. where were they dealing with occupy a year ago, and allegations of rapes and assaults going on? that was going on on federal property. they never showed up. once again, it's another example of the federal government trying to intimidate those not agreeing with them. >> were they engaging in violent protests in some fashion? is this a surprise to us here?

>> it would be a new thing to me. if you go through the track record of all these tea party protests, you've never seen an assault, you've never seen a rape, never seen any sort of violence happening at these rallies. what you do see are good all american families trying to protect their rights as citizens and extend their first amendment rights of free speech. that's something you see. that is not something i necessarily consider a terrorist threat from this demonstration. >> the last question. has any at dhs explained to you why they were allegedly doing this or apologized and said we're sorry we're doing this? >> the track record has been either they don't remember, no comment or they're exercising their fifth amendment right. at this point, this is just another round. they have not officially responded to why they have their people there and if we get a response, i'll be highly surprised. >> how do we access the network? >> go to taeea party.com and to

hall.com as well. >> good to see you. >> god bless you. >> coming up, a twister in the northwest and a woman who hid inside a freezer at a gas station with 50 strangers afraid they were all going to die. the kyocera torque lets you hear and be heard even in stupid loud places. to prove it, we set up our call center right here...

welcome back, as we cover midwest mayhem, tornado alley cyclones yesterday. we have one story for you that's terrifying. beverly allen grabbed her daughter and son, got in the car and tried to out-run the twisters. but soon she got trapped on the road. so she made a slit second decision to stop at a gas

station. there, she hid inside a freezer with 50 other strangers who had found that same gas station, all afraid they were going to die. joining us on the phone, that woman, beverly allen. good morning, beverly. thanks for being with us today. >> caller: good morning to you all. >> tell us about your in credibe journey last night, your incredible rescue. you and 50 other people huddling together at a gas station freezer. >> caller: well, we had actually waited too late to leave and it became this mass exodus from moore, norman and south oklahoma ci city, any road heading south. there was just so many people. we were making four lane roads, three lane south exits, back to back, and the winds all of a sudden just hit. of course, the skies were pitch-black. when the winds hit, anywhere from 60 to 80 miles an hour, it blew our van over into the other

lane and we knew we had to take 0 cover really quickly. within about a half a mile we noticed a convenience store was there and that was the closest thing we could get into quickly. >> beverly, we know you've lived there your whole life so you've seen tornadoes. this is nothing knew from you. >> caller: no. >> we have been hearing from storm chasers what was new for them was the amount of people hitting the road usually told to hunker down, seek shelter, go downstairs into a storm basement. why this time did you decide to leave? get on the road? what about this storm was different? >> caller: i will tell you, i've been through many of these including surviving f-5s, so on. i think this comes so very fresh on the heels of what happened on moore on may 20th, we just are still a little paranoid, even us old seasoned oakies, who are used to this. everyone, i think, was in panic mode and were expecting the same sort of f-5s and panicked and

hit the roads, causing these mass exodus out of the city. it just really -- everybody thought if you didn't travel north or south or go underground, there was no way out. >> beverly, you found yourself on the road and you realized you were in grave danger. you saw the convenience store. were your children in the car? >> caller: yes. son and daughter. >> how old? >> caller: son, 33 and daughter 16. >> you get your kids out of the car and go into the convenience sto store. what happened once you were in there? >> caller: it was absolutely filled with people. i bet there were at least 100 people there. we were some of the early ones that got there. we were among probably the first 40 in the back room towards the freezer. then after that, it filled up very quickly. >> were the storeowners just marshaling piedmont tryieople,

help as many people come back in, we have shelter, come on in? >> caller: they were absolutely fantastic. they fit every person they could in there, who brought animals of every kind and all the these -- there were cars and trucks parked all the way around the building, it was just a mass of people who huddled together. >> beverly, how were people acting? were they quiet? were they crying? was there prayer? were people trying to make conversation to eliminate the tension? what was it like in there? >> caller: it was pretty well mixed. there were some people who were crying, you know, sort of almost hysterically, scared to death, and there were some in prayer and some of your oakies making the tornado jokes. i think everyone wasenough to j other and say, oh, this surely can't be as bad as may 20th, we're going to make it fine. >> beverly, when you came out of the freezer, what was the scene

that you saw in the parking lot? >> caller: oh, it's just mass chaos. we were still under a severe thunderstorm and torrential storm and hail. that was the good part. we were all trying to run to vehicles, trying to get in them and leave and make our way back home. >> beverly, we appreciate you joining us this morning. just such a harrowing story. were you able to go back home? >> caller: i did. i had to go around trees with a lot of big trees down. i had a big tree down in my backyard across the fence and thinking it maybe hit the corner of my home. i won't know until morning until i go out and assess damage. >> beverly, god bless you, this is an incredible story. we're glad your family is safe and sound this morning and smart thinking on your part to seek shelter. we appreciate you joining us. >> you're a courageous inspiration like all oakies have been. thank you. >> caller: thank you for coming to us in the heartland.

thank you. >> that explains it. we've been wondering the past hour and half why there was a mass exodus and why so many people tried to leave and stuck on the highway and she explains because of what happened in moore, they thought it was better to get out. >> i think we'd like to definitely on this a little bit going forward, what were people hearing on their car radios? what were the national weather service emergency, announcements going out over the air? where were people being told to go? i think that's critical to find that out going forward. >> we'll be asking that the next three hours. stick with us. a controversial proposal. should lawmakers be able to snoop into people's bank accounts to make sure they're eligible for unemployment benefits. the front of this home opened by one of to the tornadoes that hit the midwest. on the ground getting a closer look at all the destruction next. i want to make things more secure.

welcome back, everyone. oklahoma city tornadoes disappeared as quickly as they appeared. five people were killed last night, at least including a mother and her baby. they were found on the side of the road, after the twisters

through their car and at least 50 people have been injured. five of them, we're told critically. >> mike tobin is joining us live on the scene there in oklahoma city with the latest on that. good morning, mike. >> reporter: good morning. the rain has stopped here in oklahoma city but a tremendous amount of water and flashflood warnings in effect. one of the things we see in the aftermath of these violent storms is remarkable video shot by stringers and storm chasers. this video shot by brian sullivan in union city, oklahoma. you can see from the inside of the storm chaser vehicle the absolute fury of these tornadoes. you can see the funnel cloud itself and you can see the vehicle just getting pelted by debris and the force of this storm. listen to what goes on inside of one of these storm chaser vehicles in the heart of the stor storm. >> no! >> no, no, turn now!

go south! go to the oakland south, we're going to die! go, go! >> to the left. >> go, get around them! >> yes! >> rick! >> oklahoma, you can see video of the funnel clouds forming off in the distance over a field of cattle. you're still looking at the video from union city, oklahoma. we can see it, we've got so much remarkable video from different areas around here, particularly the el reno funnel cloud forming. that caused so much damage as the sun is trying to come up and people are getting a look at the aftermath. also, what we know from this storm, you had thunderstorms piled up on thunderstorm. dumping terrific amounts of water. that has left water about four

feet deep in different parts of oklahoma city. you can see in some cases, some of the vehicles are getting through. it's very difficult for the emergency workers to get through water in the flooded streets to give an accurate assessment not only the amount of property that has been damaged but the human toll from this storm. the latest figures say five people have been killed, that coming from the medical examiner, a number of people have been injured and taken to different hospitals. the sun is just about to come up and emergency crews are hoping to get an accurate assessment. back to you in new york. >> thanks so much, mike. we'll check back with you. >> we've been showing you multiple twisters, traffic, flooding, we know the death toll of five. what are people doing now to cope in this aftermath of the storm? kelly is the spokeswoman for the department of emergency management in oklahoma and kind enough to join us on the phone. good morning, kelly. >> caller: good morning. >> give us a bird's-eye view of where oklahoma stands this

morning and what people are doing to cope with the aftermath, including flooding? >> caller: well, right now, we stand pretty much the same place we were at last night. we still have a lot of people without power, myself included. we still have a lot of areas that have extensive flooding. so we know there's damage in areas where the tornado touched down but don't have a lot of info on the extent of that damage because people haven't had a chance to get out and assess it. >> what will your people do as the storm comes up? >> caller: right now, we're waiting as i said for floodwaters to recede and areas to be safe for people to go into and take a look at that damage and report back. >> keli, when we were watching this unfold last night live on the air, it seemed as though oklahoma city was positioned for

some sort of mass tragedy and devastation, watching this tremendous black dark inky cloud come over the city. it seems as though people there felt the same way, because there was that mass exodus, as we know, cars got trapped along the interstate. it's hard to believe only five people were killed. there were times it seemed like it would have been much worse. >> caller: yeah. it was a very scary situation. i think a lot of people really were expecting the worst last night. m so, you know, having flooding and power outages and some damage, i think that we probably escape escaped what could have been a very very bad situation. >> what were area residents told exactly, keli? when were they told to leave oklahoma city or were they told to leave oklahoma city? what were the directions?

were there announcements on the radio? on television? it seemed to be a tremendously long line of miles and miles of cars, right as the storm hit. >> caller: well, one thing you have to understand is we did just have a very bad tornado just a couple weeks ago. we had numerous very bad tornadoes and we had a lot of damage that occurred in moore, sha shawnee, karne and some of those areas. there was concern from some of those people and whether or not they would be safe. >> the question i was asking, keli, maybe i didn't make it clear, what directions were given to area residents as to what they should be doing and where they should be going? >> caller: i can't speak to any particular directions or any particular other news media or any else was giving out. our office was not giving out any directions. >> yeah. we heard reports of at least one

outlet there giving some direction that people should advoca evacuate that may have led to this mass exodus of a number of people and storm chasers this morning and residents of that area. again, any floodwaters are keeping your team and others from getting out there and trying to assess all this damage as the sun comes up, keli, we know you have a busy morning ahead of you and we'd like to check back with you a little bit later as your team gets out there, okay? >> caller: sounds good. >> thank you, keli. we've seen a lot of video of twisters forming and seconds later, disappearing and forming again. maybe rick can help us understand what's going on here. >> this video you're seeing right here is the beginning stages of this tornado forming at el reno, 30 miles west of oklahoma city. mumpt v multiple vortices and within the suction of the southerned you

get round vorty s tvortices wit. it will drop a tornado and lift up again and maybe a couple hundred yards away, it will touch down again. this is all very very common. the great part of what we've seen here is it appears there wasn't any large tornado on the ground when it got into oklahoma city. at that point it lifted. the storm became very very erratic and fairly, for lack of bater word, disorganized. there were numerous tornadoes and a ton of rain in it. the largest tornado of this event happened west of the city in the town of el reno and where we're seeing the majority of the damage. take a look at my weather map. i'll try to explain what is the, the visible satellite image, what the satellite sees looking down at the earth. this was around 3:00 yesterday afternoon. all of this here is low level clouds across the area, nothing big going on. there's a cap in the atmosphere.

we know warm air rises as long as the area above it is colder. there was an area above it that is warmer. all that air is rising and hitting that warmer air. it's like a lid. we call it a cap in meteorology. it's like a lid. think about that lid heating up and heating up and heating up and eventually that lid pops off and the entire thing explodes. go to 5:25 yesterday, oklahoma city, nothing going on. take a look at what happens immediately within 20 to 30 minutes, this explodes right here to the west of oklahoma city, around the el reno area. had a lot of people yesterday on twitter saying everything is sunny, not seeing anything happen. usually you see a little bit more development and it happened so quickly and exploded and why i think there were so many people on the road at that time. >> thanks for that explanation, rick. coming up, this is a very controversial proposal. should the government be allowed

to snoop into people's bank accounts to make sure they're eligible for unemployment benefits. this is being proposed but is it legal? we'll debate that. what does it take to be crowned top hooker? you're about to find out. two of the best fishermen in the country. >> glad that has the direction. >> get your mind out of the gutter. >> he almost lost it from the water, parker. >> yeah. >> five talapia. that was great, man. good job. >> in this team challenge, you will be harnessed to a zip -- now get an incredible offer on the powerful, efficient c250 sport sedan with an agility control sport-tuned suspension. but hurry before this opportunity... disappears. the mercedes-benz summer event ends soon. ♪ ♪

feel payments are not legit. is this setting a dangerous precedent? here to weigh in, very interesting story, wisconsin, this is a gop led effort to try look into people's bank accounts. is this legal? >> listen, i'm an employer. i have ain't in not getting ripped off because i have to pay unemployment insurance. this is a dumb idea. since when, just because you collect unemployment doesn't make you a criminal. the government has no rights go in your personal bank account and see what you're doing. not just your unemployment funds, you could have a joint bank account and be married. they don't need to know where you spend your money or where you get it from unless you're ripping them off. there's a better way to determine. don't give me that look, arthur. >> there is a better way to determine if somebody is committing unemployment insurance fraud. >> nobody is excited about the government looking in our bank accounts. i'll give you that much, it's a dumb idea. >> let me give you that look.

>> the real purpose is it is two-fold. people who are cheating the system and also, this is what irks me a little bit, makes me feel uncomfortable. the government is admitting they make lot of mistakes and giving you unemployment and overpaying you or paying you twice. they want to look at your deposits and make sure the right amount of money is going into your account they're putting in. that's the part i don't like. >> sure. nobody likes unemployment fraud. this is setting a dangerous precedent. first, they want to check to see if you're getting unemployment legitimately. then what's next? >> exactly. i don't understand why there's a correlation between being able to look in your personal banking records and you being on unemployment. and be sure they're looking for jobs. >> the reason why you want them to monitor this, whether by having them look into your account or fill out an under oath questionnaire. i it is our money. >> my money. i am an employer, my money.

>> i get whacked over the head with that. i do want the money spent properly and don't want mistakes by the government and don't want you double dipping. >> it's the employers money. >> i pay into it. >> is she the only one that works around here? i pay as well. all the bread winners and megyn kelly fighting with lou dobbs. enough already. men are payers, too. >> this is what he does when he doesn't really have a good point. >> oh! you're giving away all the secrets now, just tell all the jurors. >> what's the answer? >> the answer is this bill i don't think is going to pass. this is a bill up for passage. i don't think it will happen. >> too intrusive. >> let's not let people stay on unemployment forever! >> we have to agree. >> encourage them to get jobs. >> alisyn and i apologize. >> you can find me on alisyn camero camerota.com on twitter. coming up, $30,000, all at stake, who has what it takes to

as did a lot of americans, thank god. we're not sure how. because take a look at this. this is video of what it looked like from inside of his car looking out. >> you okay? >> yeah! >> you're fine. >> part of a barn hitting the windshield there, smashing it, debris flying everywhere. brian and his team were lucky. a mom and an infant baby were not. they were killed. you're looking at the car here. they were killed when they were sucked out of their car in oklahoma. the death toll stands at five that we know about at this hour. >> the storm was huge. it included at least five twisters and it left many people huddled and crying. one story, they were all in a

walk-in freezer, where they took shelter and trucks and semi-trucks were flipped on the roads, turned over, drivers were stranded. >> about 200,000 people without power, 70 people injured. reports now as many as 17 twisters. >> been confirmed. yeah. >> one of the most terrifying things, the airport was shut down. at one point the twister was headed right for the airport because the storm was moving. >> no one will know. thank god, id could have been a lot worse. >> people forced to take cover in all sorts of different ways as roads were jammed and they were fleeing. mike tobin joins now from oklahoma city with that evacuation process. mike, nice to see you this morning. >> reporter: nice to see you as well. you mentioned will rogers world airport. it sustain significant damage. at this stage of the game, no flights are going in or out of the airport in oklahoma city. a section of the roof was torn

off. people in the airport were ultimately forced to shelter down in the basement. power has been restored to the airport. again, no flights are coming in or out. you talk about transportation. one of the effects we saw last night, a lot of people tried to race home ahead of the weather and that caused a big traffic pileup. we can see from some video out of hinton, oklahoma, a big traffic jam that formed. as you can see the funnel clouds, the storm off in the distance. people are at great risk at this point because if they're in their car, they're not as protect as some sort of structure or down in a storm ditch. now, so the worst of the weather has passed oklahoma city. we're just starting to get a look at some of the damage that has been left behind, specifically out of el reno, oklahoma. what you see is a lot of homes that have been torn apart, roofs that came off. we are a lot of those vehicles absolutely battered by the debris, we saw a lot of vehicles

flipped over, particularly those vehicles stopped along the i-40 corridor and people who thought they could race home ahead of the bad weather, significant damage there and the human toll seems to be concentrated along the i-40 corridor. now, we're at a point, despite the flooding you have rescue crews and officials able to get out to some damaged areas and start now to try to drum up an accurate assessment how much damage oklahoma city and the surrounding small towns have sustained. back to you in new york. >> mike tobin. live in okloma city this morning, bringing us the very latest on evacuation details. you may remember this iconic image. after an f5 tornado ripped through oklahoma nearly two weeks ago, there it is. that same family rode out last night's round of deadly storms as well. it's been tough. ladona cobb ran for cover in a twister in a neighbor's storm

shelter. thanks for joining us again. seems like deja vu, right? >> caller: yes, for sure. >> tell us your thoughts yesterday, after you lived through moore and you saw all the devastation there, tell us what your thoughts were yesterday as these twisters were moving in. >> caller: we were watching it on our tv. it all looked like it was going to go north of us. for anybody that lives in oklahoma, you know that they always go northeast. so we were south and felt like we were pretty safe. and then they just turned south and started coming this way. we went out and we tried to leave and go south but the roads were bumper to bumper. so we drove down to our neighbor's storm shelter and got in there with them. >> what were you hearing on the radio, on television at the time as these storms were unfolding? >> caller: well, we were hearing a lot of the same things that we

were hearing on the 20th, that these are violent and deadly and you need to be underground. my children were terrified. for good robe-- reason. they lived through a horrific thing. we were pretty scared for a while. the tornado sirens were going off and we tried to get to someone's shelter. >> we heard panic was setting through and what they had seen in moore and devastation there, they felt like maybe we should hit the road and evacuate. god knows we don't want go through what we went through in moore, oklahoma. did that ever cross your mind? >> caller: it did. like said, we got in the car and attempted to drive south. as soon as we got to the main road, there was bumper to bumper brake lights as far as we could see. i think that's where a lot of

the deaths that happened was people trying to leave. i think if you have a storm shelter you can go to, that's a better thing for you to do. >> how are your kids, ladonna. not once but twice, they experienced the terror of these twisters in the last couple of weeks. how are they? what do you say to your children? >> caller: they're pretty scared. my littlest one is really scared. she wakes me up every morning saying, mom, it's cloudy outside. before, you know, that would never affect them. they're pretty terrified. keep saying to me, please promise me we're not going to get hit, please promise me we're not going to get hit. i tell her, i'm like, i can't promise you that but i promise you will be somewhere safe. >> do you have a storm shelter at your house? >> caller: we don't. we just closed on our house last week and do not have one. we will be putting one in.

right now, we're still trying to recover from the last storm so we haven't even had a chance yet. luckily, several of our neighbors in our new neighborhood have storm shelters and they welcomed us with open arms. >> that's nice. let's hope you have a respite here so you can build your shelter as you move into your new home. thanks for coming again and sharing your personal story. >> caller: thank you. >> thanks, ladonna. and we want to look at this footage. the driver of this white suv driving through a flooded street. you listen to rick reichmuth, that's not something you ever want to do and dealing with details of the flooding. hey, rick. >> i want to tell you a lot of people after the last week's storm in moore want to get storm shelters. i have friends who live outside oklahoma city right in the path of it yesterday and said there is a very long wait list to get those storm shelters right now. even if you want to get one, it's difficult.

you couldndon't know in this situation, downed power lines in the water, you don't know what you're dealing with. >> that's in just the last couple of minutes, we understand. >> trying to make his way to the shore in all sorts of debris. we saw how the water is 20, 30 feet from where he's standing now. debris, power lines, sewage, the entire water system there, completely backed up and causing all sorts of flooding around homes all through the oklahoma area this morning. this guy stranded, if you're just joining us, just making his way off of a car where rescue crews were not coming. >> the reporter said she was going to call 911. seems like he is okay, he has gotten out of the car and is heading obviously to solid dry ground there. >> he seem as little bit exhausted or disoriented as well. >> right. yes, he does. >> yes. >> one person who's not d disoriented doing great work for us all morning long as our

coverage continues in the midwest tornadoes is our very own mike tobin, who's been talking about some issues at the will rogers airport being shut down and other parts of this city that people fear for their lives, don't want to get killed at the airport as parts of the roof were being torn off. mike, what can you tell us from where you were? >> reporter: i can give you an update on the airport. inbound flights will be resumed. the first of the inbound flights is expected in a little over an hour. operations will be resumed at the airport despite the significant damage and the harrowing night they had there. a section of a roof came off of the airport and the travelers, about 1500 of them, were forced to shelter down in the basement as the power went off. power has been restored and operations resuming at the airport. remarkable video coming from to the storm chasers we have seen all around oklahoma city. the latest coming from union city, oklahoma. brandon sullivan got a little too close to the action inside

of a storm chaser vehicle. you can see the debris that hits his vehicle. ultimately, a bail of hey hits his vehicle. why don't i pause for a seconds and give you a listen what goes on in one of these vehicles as things get a little too close for comfort. >> no! no! no, turn now! go south! if we don't go south, we're going to die! go, go! >> to the left. >> go. get around them! >> yes. >> rick -- >> we okay? >> yes. it's rfv. go! >> we okay? >> yes. just drive south! >> they were okay. as the worst of the storm has passed oklahoma city, we're starting to get a rough idea of

the damage left behind in towns like el reno, oklahoma, oklahoma city itself, we're seeing significant damage to structures and a lot of damage to vehicles. we've seen semis that have been tipped over. a lot of cars battered and tipped over, cars trying to make it out on that i-40 corridor and seeing plenty of floodwater left behind with this remarkable situation of thunderstorms piled up on top of thunderstorms. we're hearing from the superintendent of streets for oklahoma city, now that the rain has stopped and the worst of the storm has passed, possibly some of these floodwaters will be receding and they will just now start to get the utility crews and emergency crews out into those damaged areas and start to get an assessment what has happened and work to restore as much normal life as possible you can to the people in the path of the storm. >> mike, thanks so much for that update. we will go to rick reichmuth

now, tracking the storm all night and what it looks like in the midwest. the images just seen in the city, that's just west of oklahoma city proper and north of the air force base that last night had a tornado go through that area. one of the hardest hit areas along i-40, where he is just to the north of interstate 40, incredib incredibly heavy rain and flashflood warnings still and likely for the next 4 to 6 hours. the water has to go some place. it will continue to fill in to some of the lower lying areas and lower streams before they eventually feed into the rivers. all this will end up in the mississippi river, which see a crest again around major flood stage. we saw that last month from the melting of the snow we had this last winter up across areas of north areas, we saw major flooding. we will see it again. more flooding concerns along

areas of the mississippi eventually by tuesday, wednesday. anywhere you see red and maroon is where we have flash flooding going on imminently right now. and flooding in areas moving to ohio, detroit seeing rain and across kentucky and tennessee and still heavy rain falling to the south of interstate 40 now. good news, we're drying out here across oklahoma city. >> thanks, rick. despite the warnings, many people still stayed behind and get stranded. >> we ask the question why this morning and let's ask dr. keith of fox news medical team why people do this. why are people intent on fleeing and taking to the road and say we're going to hunker down and stay and ride this thing out. is there a difference? >> there is a difference. every one of those decisions goes back to your whole life

history. for instance, if you were in dire circumstances before and you don't want to admit those circumstances to yourself, like growing up in a household where you are constantly in danger and you really denied and denied that, you might stay, in circumstances like this, because you can't bring yourselves to believe there's a calamity unfolding. these people on rooftops should have been rescued from other circumstances and they weren't and didn't want to look at it up on a roof with a helicopter grabbing them. >> isn't this situational? if you can get to your storm cellar, you go there and if not, you take off? >> sure. absolutely. what i'm addressing are not the folks stymied by circumstances, there are lots of those people but people saying, wait a second, why would that have happened where this person decides to take an action that

seems out of hand, an outlier down the bell curve. when those circumstances occur it's very often tied to events in that person's life and i think it's also tied to our culture. a governor can tell you again and again there's danger coming. in our reality tv culture, where things are so outside, it can seem like just another entertainment event and opportunity for youtube video. if things go bad, i'll get my camera and get this on tape. this is real life with real suffering. >> keith, the last question, we saw a mother whose family experienced two horrific experiences the last two weeks in moore in the oklahoma city area. the children are having a problem with it. hyper vigilant, waking up, thinking about cloudy days. what does a mother tell those children to make those days easier? >> i think focusing on this, peter, we're survivors.

if you can shift kids from thinking of themselves as vulnerable and potential victims to we can survive anything and see how we do as a family when we move forward, that's the focus to take and also okay to tell kids, listen, this is a once in a lifetime thing. we will make it through and looking forward to the future. >> great advice. made all the more difficult by being two weeks apart. >> thank you. great to see you. >> take care. coming up, millimeter vitar fires a warning shot to a criminal trying to break into his house and now he's the one facing charges. is that fair? don't let the rising prize of meet affect your barbecue needs and these cuts that taste better than the expensive stuff. we will show you how. look what mommy is having.

pound. it's bigger, more bone, protects against the intense heat better and have a handle for the kids and enough for man sized appetite. >> and pork loin on the grill and marinating it. this is cheaper. why? >> this is the great value equation here. you pay $3 a pound for pork chops. you have this bone at the end and ends up in the garbage and raw and you paid for it. the fork fillet comes just like this, no weight, all meat. the fillet of pork and cooks quicker. great on the grill. >> great way to stretch the barbecue. a couple ham stakeeaks, the tropical feel and salsa and on the grill, baked beans and a good kid favorite. >> thanks so much, ray, to save a few dollars. we appreciate it. >> thanks. coming up, a military

night, leaving five people dead, inclu including a mom and her baby trying to get away. new images coming in this hour as the sun comes up in oklahoma. let's go to midwest city, oklahoma. a red car stuck on a road, looks more like a river. the driver standing on top of his roof, begging for help. he gives up, though and finally climbs down. no rescue crews ended up coming out there because they had told residents to stay off this particular roadway and to not drive through standing floodwaters. he had been there all night, all night, exhausted and tired. >> watch this. also running for safety, storm chaser, brian sullivan. look at this. >> no! no! no, no, turn now! go south! if we don't go south, we're going to die!

the airport was hit by one of the tornadoes and all the travelers evacuated to an underground tunnel. they are expecting a flight this morning, good news for many stranded and scared flyers, this as the sun comes up, getting a first look at some of the damage. to mike tobin with an update on conditions there in oklahoma. nice to see you, mike. >> nice to see you as well and nice to talk to you. with the sun coming up, a first look at the damage, i can show you pictures from el reno, oklahoma. what you should see is a gas station there and left behind after the storm we have a lot of twisted steel, you have a lot of structural damage. that is largely what we are seeing at the moment, as people -- as the sun comes up and you get a look around. throughout the evening, we got glimpses into the same kind of thing. a lot of structural damage and cars battered by debris during the course of the tornado, cars that were tipped over. now, emergency crews are just

starting to get out in the worst of the areas damaged the worst and get a look around. we saw this tremendous video from the storm chasers who got close to some of these remarkable natural phenomenas, mult mult multi-f multi-vortex attornetornadoes o reno. and reached over the ground and scoured the earth a bit and went back into the sky and keep going as one tornado forms after another. a tremendous amount of water also a part of this storm. you had tornadoes and thunderstorms forming on top of thunderstorms. m why now in the aftermath there is a traffic amount of flooding and foreclosulashfloods in effe. and about four feet under water. city hall itself has about an inch of flooding because of the terrific amount of water dumped on this storm and really

separating it from the last storm system that moved through here. a lot of people say the aftermath looks less like a tornado and more like a hurricane. back to you in new york. >> mike to wbin live in oklahom. we want to bring in mike huckabee and you had to deal with tornadoes that ripped through part of your city and other cities and you had to declare a state of emergency in that part of the country. what is the governor having to do this morning, mary fallon? what does she have to deal with? >> you have to mobilize all the entities involved, any national guard because you have to prevent people from looting and getting in people's property and protect human life and power lines and gas lines and utilities have to be brought in to make sure you don't have power going to a line sitting out there or broken gas line. then you have the obvious

situation of looking to see if there are victims. one of the things, you go to rural areas. usually we'll fly helicopters over them to see are there areas that weren't charted and making sure you have actually assessed all the damage. there's some practical things going on that have to happen. a lot of people don't recognize and i dealt with killer tornadoes. i personally dealt with two, one when i was 11 years old and one when i was governor and hit the governor's mansion and grounds of the mansion and killed eight people. when people lose their possessions in a tornado, they lose more than just their furniture, here's what they lose, they lose their insurance papers, their tax receipts, lose their driver's license in many cases if it happens during the night. all that stuff is gone. one of the things we did was create trace teams, tornado recovery and enhancement teams. rather than asking people to go to seven different state agencies all over the community

to get a new driver's license get their food stamps renewed, identity re-established, voting card, we would bring all those folks together in one location, people could go to one stop. you have to recreate an identity for people. things people don't know. are you insured? i think so, don't have my insurance papers. where are they? they're blown off six miles down the road somewhere. so many things people have to confront devastated by a tornado in addition to physical injuries and the fear of a loss of a relative. >> what do you say to those folks? you've been through tornadoes and ministered to people as governor and preacher. what do you say to someone who's been through an event like this? how do you give them hope to go on? >> interesting, usually instead of me giving them hope, they gave me hope. 9 out oftentimes they would not tell me what they lost what they still have. they said, we have lost

everything but still have each other. the stories break your heart. there's no words. words don't help people right there. they don't need words, they need presence, an arm around their shoulder and big tight close hug and need to know you're there. they don't expect you to fix it. they know you can't. you have to be honest with people and people think fema comes in and gives everybody a new house. they don't. fema can only provide assistance in temporary relocation and debris removal. there's a lot of misconception what government can do. government can't go on to private property and remove all debris unless it's creating a public hazard. there are specific formulas when it becomes a major declaration. there are a lot of things going on. i can assure you mary fallon didn't sleep very much last night. from natural disaster to political disaster and what's going on in washington with the

various scandals. people are calling for eric holder's resignation. what do you think will happen with eric holder? how long can he stay in the job? >> president obama seems committed to keeping eric holder no matter what. i know they have a very close personal relationship. politically the president at some point has to understand eric holder is radioactive to his administration. he really is. even though there have been some attempts by democrats to circle the wagons around him, hey, he's doing his job. one commentator said he was like the mose certification of our day. no, he isn't. moses came down with two tablets from mount sinai that were all the truth and eric holder hasn't figured out how to tell the truth yet. i think he's in very serious trouble. in his may 15th testimony to congress he said he didn't know anything about these efforts to the press and then turns out his signature is on the very forms that allowed fox news reporter

james rose sn to be investigate that's problematic. >> and there was a piece about president obama's stubbornness. do you think it's the stubbornness of president obama that refuses to allow him to resign and saying we're under attack, we have to stick with this. >> i don't think it's stubbornness, era gance thair a she's right and everybody else is wrong and the fact the press is with him. i think he's kicked the wrong dog. some dogs you kick and they won't bite you. he kicked the wrong dog and kicked the press. when you go after and start criminalizing people for doing their job as journalists and when you go into their phone records and their computers and you don't tell them and you're searching for information that really goes beyond a national security concern, you can't justify it, you've kicked the wrong dog. >> governor, stick around. we have more to talk to you about. coming up, a military veteran fires a shot at a

one military veteran now facing criminal charges for firing a warning shot. cops also confiscated his rifle. former army specialist, thompson joins us now to share his story. good morning, mr. thompson. >> good morning, sir. >> my understanding there was an intruder on your property, who was acting in a menacing way, who was acting in an eratic way and you felt in fear of your life and you had an ar15 and you fired a warning shot. tell us about that. >> that's correct, sir. around 11:30 at night, i had a man that came on to my patio and tore up my chairs and banged on my door, tried to kick it in. threatening, yelling. i told him i was armed. it didn't seem to phase him much. i opened up my door, we had a shouting match. he tried to break into my neighbor's house and i warded him off and met him in front of

my property and where the confrontation escalated, where he wanted to fight. >> mr. thompson, here's the important question. were you in fear of your life? >> yes, i was in fear of my life. >> okay. let's look at a statement from the medford police, i want you to react to it. i know governor huckabee was interested in this story. he has a question for you, too. >> nothing that the suspect was doing that was aggressive enough to justify the shooting. >> what do you say to that, mr. thompson? >> i think that's false because everything that the suspect did was aggressive. he tried to bang on my door, smashed up my patio furniture. he threatened me several times. if that's not aggressive, then i don't know what aggressive is nen. >> looks like, corey, you were well within your rights to defend yourself and you property. i think you need to call joe biden to your defense because he was the one who securitiesuggess own wife she step onto the

balcony and fire a couple of shots to scare off somebody. if that's the advice the vice president of the united states has given, i hope you will call him as a material witness. >> i can only hope for a defense attorney that will represent me like that. >> you were a specialist in the army. you know how to hire firearms, mr. thompson, right? >> yes, i do, sir. >> did you think at any time that after you fired a warning shot, in order to scare this intruder off, even though you may have arguably had a right to actually shoot at the intruder, did you think somehow you would become the perp, the criminal in medford, oregon, not acting in a an aggressive way and in fear of your life? >> i didn't think i would have charges in this way. this is a multiple felon charged with breaking in and burglary before and a slew of other

crimes. he's on the street -- or he will be on the streets eventually and they will put me in jail, i imagine. >> mr. thompson, we wish justice for you. please keep us apprised what's going on here. this seems absolutely crazy. thank you for your service. >> thank you, sir, for having me. >> governor, thanks for being part of this and for being here this morning. will we watch you tonight? >> i hope so. ron fornier will be there to talk about criminalizing journalists and the secretary of israel will be there. >> i love your show. every saturday we watch and don't miss it in our house. >> thank you. happy to hear it. we showed you the video at the top of the hour. >> no! no! no, no, turn now! go south! >> now, you will hear from the storm chaser who got way too close to the tornado for comfort. brandon sullivan joins us next. >> go, go!

welcome back to "fox & friends." if you're just waking up this morning, insane video from storm chasers who pursued the oklahoma twisters last night, especially when they turned the cameras on themselves. watch this. >> go! go! no, no, turn now! go south! if we don't go south, we will die! >> we spoke with that guy, brandon sullivan, earlier this morning, what he was seeing. listen to this. >> it was pretty frightening. definitely pretty scary there for just a little bit. we got a lot of damage to the car but ultimately it could have

been a lot worse. the tornado was off to my right, grew rapidly, grew very large and it actually turned south. we were actually stuck behind some other vehicles. the road conditions weren't that great and we got to feeling like we really didn't have a way out. that made a really scary situation. >> yeah. no kidding. we're watching -- we're watching the camera that is pointed at you for inside the car, your driver looks pretty cool and collected, i must say. but you look like you're freaking out. so what was happening? did you want your driver to go some place different? >> caller: well, i think he had the luxury of having to focus on the road. i fiscal if he would have been able to see what was off to our right, i think he would have been a little more terrified. >> what were you seeing off to your right? >> caller: i was seeing a very large basically a black wall coming right at me.

i knew that there was a powerful tornado there. you can see the winds coming at us at a very high rate of speed. i knew there was a pretty strong tornado just off to our right. >> what was the thing there, brandon, that smashed your windshield? >> caller: that was actually a piece of debris, i believe that was like a metal tin piece from a barn that got destroyed right in front of us. >> brandon, we also know these storms were forming pretty quickly. as you were turning down these different roads and heading towards this, our own rick reichmuth on the air was seeing them materializing faster than he normally saw them materializing. was that the case yesterday? >> caller: yes. absolutely. the storms yesterday went from hardly any clouds in the sky to rapidly powerful super cells producing huge hell and tornadoes in no time.

a lot of instability yesterday and things happened very fast. >> why did you put your life on the line to -- it's important, i guess, to provide a public service. >> caller: absolutely. any storm chaser would be lying if they said they didn't do some of it for adrenaline. i do go to school for meteorology and love science and yes, ultimately i like getting out there and making reports that help the weather service issue a warning. >> looki ing at that video, you can see a car going off the road. we spoke to the driver of another storm chaser car. listen to what greg johnson had to say about that experience. >> in brandon's video, you can actually see a sort of almost launched in the air on the left hand side. >> this is a pretty heavy car to be tossed around like that. >> caller: if it didn't have the protective coating on the

outside, i don't know if we would have survived. literally, that entire farmyard, it's like a scene out of twister. literally that farmyard went right over our heads. some of it on the side of the truck. the truck sustained a lot of damage. it was terrifying. >> you can see that car we're talking about there, the tornado hunter truck is what greg was driving. that's the car he uses. it has satellite. has modified front and rear bumpers, has a camera probe deployment system, roof basket, ladder, cab, cargo access on the roof. it's heavy. this thing is heavy, been completely modified. it lifted off the ground. >> right. interestingly that storm chaser said there were times he thought there were only two wheels still on the ground and the wind was picking them up and didn't know if it would completely pick them up because the storm changed direction in way they hadn't seen before so they caught air at times. >> mother nature prevails.

>> yes. hard to predict what she will do. >> we will have more on the stor storms. before this, what caused parts to go flying off a british airways flight. this is in mid-air. and american musician undergoing life saving surgery. details next. ♪ ♪ i did? when visa signature asked everybody what upgraded experiences really mattered... you suggested luxury car service instd of "strength training with patrick willis." come on todd! flap them chicken wings.

we've been showing you the newest video all morning after the oklahoma twister. here is some more, just into x "fox & friends." this, as you know, a series of twisters tore through the midwest last night, leaving at least five people dead. this is the scene in el reno, this is one of the hardest hit areas. you can't even tell what this used to be. it's just a debris field. debris scattered everywhere. >> wow. now, over to oklahoma city and shell gas station, sign hanging by a thread and mangled metal strewn everywhere. >> also in oklahoma city, this roof came off this barn, came crashing down. a horse is running around, not sure if they were inside the barn when it collapsed. joining us on the phone is oklahoma resident, angela, in the process of trying to evacuate. as you can see, we'll have pictures of her home here flooded. that's one of the issues we're dealing with this morning is

this flooding issue. good morning to you. we're so sorry to hear about your loss this morning. how are you making through? >> caller: we're oklahoma ans so we're strange. we kind of roll with the punches in oklahoma and we just get through. >> angela, we can hear how emotional you are. what happened last night? >> caller: it wasn't really the tornadoes. we were safe, we got out of the way. it was the intense rain that wouldn't stop. my house is about 5 to 6 foot away from a creek. the creek is crested and ran over into my neighborhood. everybody, as of right now, is standing in 3 to five-foot of wate water. >> how is the rest of your family holding up at this hour? >> caller: we're making it. i've got a really good friend down the street who is ankle deep in water inside her home. these are mobile homes, so we're

already anywhere from 2 1/2 to 3 foot off to the ground. >> have you heard from any emergency services members? they're having such a difficult time. we spoke to emergency management earlier this morning. they haven't gotten out to any yet because of floodwaters. they can't really do much. heard anything from any, patiently waiting. we're raising everything off the floor to higher levels. >> are you in your home right now, angela? >> caller: yes. on the front porch. >> we're seeing a picture of that by the way. we're looking at pictures of you and that is you on the front porch. >> caller: my husband took that earlier, god help us. that is right where the creek has crested and it's still running over now. it has not subsided. i just happened to wake up at about 3:30 this morning and noticed that one of our vehicles

was about a foot and a half under water. so we brought one of the vehicles up on a hill so that we could save it, and as of right now, the other vehicle is about 3 foot under water. it's gone. >> is the water rising now, angela? >> caller: it is still rising. the creek has not stopped rushing. >> have you given the authorities your exact location, where you are now? >> caller: no, not as of yet. we were told to kind offed bidr time and see if this would stop. where we live we have a huge pump house. >> what if the water continues to rise, angela? what is your plan? the water is just a foot and a half below you where you're standing right now. >> caller: right. right. >> what is your plan n? how would you get out of there if the water continues to rise? >> caller: we don't know.

we spoke to the news media can't even get back here and therefore the emergency officials can't get back here. >> do you need us? we can go offline and get your address to officials. do you need us to do that? >> caller: we may. because there's -- it's not just me that's out here, there is roughly 135 mobile homes out here with people in them. >> as you can see, the cars will no longer be operational. you are trapped in your home. >> what is the specific town you're in, angela? >> caller: we're in west city, oklahoma. >> i want to get to rick and get his microphone open if we can. rick has been tracking the storms and talk about flooding. is it even still raining there? why would these waters rise at this level? >> reporter: the rain has to go somewhere and some have seen 6 to 8 incheses of rain.

midwest city is where the guy we saw earlier trapped in the underpass in his car to the east of oklahoma city. incredible rainfall rates there. i can't imagine how scary it was, rain falling at a heavy rate, likely 4 to 5 hours, maybe breaking a tiny little bit in between. incredible rainfall. i can imagine how scared angela was and waking up this morning and flooding going on all around. very tough. >> angela, do you have kids in your house? >> caller: i do. i have two teenage daughters with me right now. >> how are they doing? >> caller: you know what, again, they're oklahoma strong. i have little girls tough. they kentuckied y ekentucky -- in the action when they realized the waters were rising and we expected it would stop and hindsight is 20/20. the kids are good.

it's just watching other people arou around -- like i said, my mobile home has not yet had water come in. >> right. >> angela, about the last 12 days have been very very tough in that area. you had a couple of tornadoes move through there a week ago sunday and monday. were you a part of those systems that went through as well? did you see any damage, or your neighborhood? >> caller: no. we was probably, i want to say it was about 5 to 7 miles nor northeast. my children, they did lock down the schools, so my children was in two separate schools, elementary and high school. they did lock down and they did take kids to an underground shelter where they were safe. they locked out the schools and no one was allowed in or out after a certain time. so oklahoma has an excellent procedu procedure.

what happened to the children in moore is really heartbreaking for a state, but overall, this state really kicks into action. unfortunately those of us that live here, we're used to this type of situation. we kick into action and the schools were excellent last monday. they kept our children safe, as safe as they could possibly be kept. and i was able to get to my kids around 5:30 that evening. >> angela, you are oklahoma strong. let's let our fox news producers, lauren and jennifer, kick into action here right now. stay on the line with us. >> we'll try to get to you some information, angela. thanks for joining us. we'll check back in with you. >> thanks, angela. let's check in with rick now. that wikds weather also creating havoc in missouri, is that right? >> that's right. look at those semis blown on to their side. not sure if that's busch stadium. there was a baseball game yesterday they canceled because of severe weather going through

and the tornado tracked just in the northwestern suburbs of the st. louis area and across the mississippi river. those storms went on to produce many more tornadoes across illinois. not just one big city, oklahoma city, also st. louis, another large city seeing a big hit from tornadoes yesterday. this is a look at the radar picture last evening. when you're talking to angela on the phone, those pink are incredibly heavy rainfall rates. this is from 5:00 yesterday afternoon to midnight this morning and still rain in the area. moving off to the east and will see things dry off in the oklahoma city area today and good news and slowly more rain pushing from the south and east and southeastern parts of oklahoma and we could see severe weather as well. this is a threat for severe weather from the northern great lakes to the big ben of texas. a very large area under threat

for tornadoes. tomorrow, just moves slightly off to the northeast. take a look at this, all the big cities from the thenortheast fr d.c. this is changing gears. i have to tell you, today is the beginning of hurricane seasones, hurricane season right on the tail of this. there is some potential development this week we will be watching in the gulf. florida, around four of days from now 30 tensipotentially ge heavy rain and they have seen records breaking rain. >> the bayer of -- >> sorry. >> thank you for that. new details what caused parts to go flying off a british airways flight mid-air. plus, he's winning on and off the track, nascar driver, jamie mcmurray, here to tell us how he's helping fans with autism enjoy their experience at the racetrack.

wanted to get together and see who we wanted to partner up with, autism was just a really good fit. 12 years ago, when we found out my niece had autism, it was fairly unknown. i think most people associated autism with "rain man." certainly, that is not the case. we got to do a lot of cool stuff with autism speaks. the producer who does nascar races has a son with autism. it's been a really good fit and we've been able to raise a lot of money and create a lot of awareness. it's been really good to work with. >> tell us how this special seating section that you've designated works. >> i have to be honest, i don't know exactly what that is. >> for people with sensory issues, like autism, that they're going to be able to enjoy the race in a different way. is it the noise from the racetrack is too much for some kids with autism? >> i know there's going to be a lot of families here that have kids or loved ones with autism.

certainly, kids with autism are maybe more sensitive to noise than what others are, but as far as the seating, it's about those guys getting to have a really enjoyable day at a nascar race. >> that's great. you were talking about how part of the goal is to raise awareness about autism. i thought you said when your own niece was diagnosed, most people didn't -- it wasn't as household a name then as it unfortunately is now. so people do have a lot of awareness about autism. what more needs to happen? >> well, i mean, ultimately, we need to find a cure for autism. that's still an unknown. a lot of the fund-raisers that we do are to create awareness but also to raise money so that eventually we can find a cure for autism. it's still unknown. the amount of cases grows every year. i remember when my niece was diagnosed, it was like 1 in 200. it's down to 1 in 88 right now.

so, you know, if you're a parent having a child, it's certainly something you should be concerned with. for the parents living with kids with autism, we need to find a cure for it. >> 1 in 88 is a stunning number. obviously, it would be wonderful to figure out what causes it. jamie mcmurray, thanks. have fun this weekend. >> all right. if you're around sunday, watch the race. >> we'll do that. thanks so much. coming up, president obama wants us to wind down the wars in the middle east and also wants to keep fighting terror. is the war on terror over or not? we'll discuss that. up to 25 devices on one easy to manage plan. that means your smartphone, her blackberry, his laptop, mark's smartphone but m still on vacatio still on the plan. nice! the intern gets a tablet? everyone's devices. his, hers-- oh, sorry. all easier to manage on the share everything plan for small business.

in three different addresses last week, president obama told

the american people we must wind down the wars in the middle east, but we must also fight back against al qaeda and terrorists abroad. it's confusing. is the war over or not? even the experts can't agree. here to shed some life is deputy editor of "the wall street journal" editorial page, daniel henniger. good morning, how are you? >> good to see you, peter. >> the mixed messages are confusing me. what's your take on this? what's the president thinking and what's he saying? >> well, the president gave three peaches last night. one that got all the attention was the one to the national defense college on the war on terror. he spoke at arlington cemetery on memorial day and then at annapolis. the war on terror speech was defined everywhere by pundits as announcing the end of the war on terror, and yet "the new york times" wrote a piece a day or so later saying that when he was over, many of the people in the

government weren't clear about what exactly the president was saying about the elements of the war on terror. and this is the part that concerns me, peter, on the one hand, the president seems to be conflating the war in iraq and the war in afghanistan, which he announced he's ending with the war on terror that the intelligence officials fight day to day to prevent things like boston or the thing last week in london. >> you say they're different? >> absolutely different. daily intelligence is what happened after 9/11. you want intelligence people from the fbi and cia to have the sort of pressure and intensity that came out of 9/11. the analysis of this piece suggests the president thinks we have to step away from 9/11. and i think when that happens, you have problems like the boston marathon bombing, where they had the tsarnaev brother that came back.

>> you point to the mixed messages and what is the message? what do you say to academy graduates? what did he say and why is that message strange for the president? >> both to the academy graduate and memorial at arlington cemetery, the president explicitly said to academy graduates, the war in iraq ended last year and the war in afghanistan is winding down. he then went on to criticize the war on terror and those commitments without explicitly mentioning george bush, but it's clear that's what he was talking about. he was saying that what my predecessor had done was a fail you're. now, if you are a 22-year-old midshipman sitting there, you've committed yourself to going into service, what do you make of the president obviously credit sidesing your previous classmates who went out into war? i think it was terrible for hme

good morning, everyone. today is june 1st. i'm alisyn camerota. the midwest was rocked by at least five twisters. and this man felt mother's wrath firsthand.

>> no! no! turn now! >> we are live as the sun comes up in oklahoma with your first look at the aftermath. 100 people huddled together inside a freezer at a gas station as the tornado closed in. they thought they were going to die. but turns out, they helped save each other. and a bad week for the irs just got worse. the agency throwing this dance party paid for by you. it's the hustle. she's dancing with a boot on. "fox & friends" hour five starts right now. good morning again, everyone. we have been up extra early for you to show you as the sun comes up in oklahoma the aftermath of these twisters here.

here is a look at the damage left behind by the tornadoes. trash and debris scattered everyone. this is el reno, oklahoma. today will be there to start to pick up the pieces. >> our mark tobin has been there. he's live in el reno with a look at more of the storm damage. mike, where are you driving right now? >> reporter: well, we're racing toward el reno, as you mentioned with the sun up and the worst of the storm past us, we are able to give a live look at the aftermath of this storm. waiting for that, i can show you some of the pictures we're getting in right now. this out of oklahoma city. i can show you a gas station there. gas stations oftentimes will really take the brunt of it because they had those big awnings and the wind will get underneath the awnings and what you're left with following the tornado is a lot of twisted steel, a lot of debris. also out of oklahoma city, a horse farm. about a quarter of this structure was collapsed. and you can probably see in the video, the horses are still

wandering around, kind of bewildered. no one has been able to get into this horse farm and make an assessment to determine how many of the animals were injured. that's what's happening around here, all over oklahoma right now, people trying to get emergency crews, response crews in to determine the extent of the damage. the damage coming from just this remarkable confluent of storms on each other. have you the multivortex tornadoes caught on film. can you see one tornado forming, reaching down to the earth, scouring a patch of earth and retreating back up into the sky as another tornado is forming. absolutely remarkable. a kind of thing that doesn't happen very often, not even here in tornado alley. also as a result of so many storms piling up on top of each other, have you a tremendous amount of water. so, the aftermath that we know about right now is a lot of flooding. that in addition to night fall, in addition to the continued rain is what is preventing some of the emergency crews, the

utility crews, from getting into these hard-hit locations, doing their work and making accurate assessments. so, we are en route trying to do the same thing right now. and we'll get you live reporting as soon as we get on the scene. >> thanks, mike, for the update. now to a guy who got way to close to the action yesterday. this is brandon sullivan, a storm chaser, who felt mother nature up close and personal. and not even wearing his seat belt. watch. >> go! go! no, no, turn now! if you don't turn, we're going to die! go, go! >> here's the reason why he's freaking out is a view from inside his car looking out. there is where a part of a barn smashes right into the windshield.

everyone managed to escape this, but debris all over the roadways. just an absolute mess. it's hard to imagine, you know, they're trying to figure out which way they're driving right now during this. turn south, turn left, turn west. >> these guys are storm chasers. they obviously do this for a living. they say generally tornadoes follow a certain path but they say this one was acting wild and unpredictable and they found themselves way too close. >> it's a matter of seconds. they said at one point they were 100 yards awe and when it turns it could be a matter of seconds before it comes to them. they wound up -- we'll have to ask rick if they were in the vortex or what technical term they were in, but they were in it. unfortunately, mother nature is not done with the midwest. major flooding is in store for that nation's heartland and our own storm chaser, who's been here for the last 24 hours, rick

reichmuth. you've done an incredible job all night long. it was gripping. if i were in that area, i'd be reassured to hear your minute by minute warnings and instructions to me. >> you're very kind, peter. thank you very much. the video we've been showing, they actually weren't in the tornado. that was inflow. when you've got the tornado, you have an area of inflow. it's rapidly pulling air in, probably up to 8 0, 90 miles an hour. it's what caused all of that debris to fly at those guys. they weren't actually in the tornado. >> whatever it s it's not good. >> absolutely not good. can you see the kind of damage that can happen just from that. take a look at some of the flooding we're seeing from this. there's the tornado. incredibly heavy rain falling across a very widespread area. you've had about 5 inches of rain fall overnight in paducah, kentucky, causing flooding going on right there. these are pictures outside of oklahoma city. but we are seeing the rain

that's been falling across much of missouri. and missouri has been seeing this for a number of days, so the flooding there is going to be ongoing. especially southern missouri when you get in towards the ozarks, all that hilly country, all that water runs down those slopes and into the lower lying ravines, eventually into the rivers. the mississippi river is going to be looking at a major flood again by the time we get toward the day tuesday and wednesday. so, we'll feel some ramifications of this for a while. go back to my weather maps, i want to show you the latest from the storm prediction center. new information, heedz off east to the western side of this for severe weather today. so, we're still seeing it from around detroit and toledo. stretching down from the ohio valley. areas like st. louis, you're fine. northern parts of arkansas, you're fine. only the southeastern area of oklahoma is where we'll see some severe storms. also extending throughout much of texas. tornadoes not a big concern today. if we see any, it will be through memphis, arkansas, northeastern parts of texas. the rest of it likely seeing

wind and hail damage from this. tomorrow, same storm, moves farther off to the northeast. mid-atlantic around to washington, d.c. all the way up through maine. we could see a few tornadoes tomorrow across areas of the northeast. keep in mind all the population zones, and on a sunday people may not be paying as much attention to the weather. >> thanks for that warning. meanwhile, other stories making headlines. the worst day in the history of the houston fire department. four firefighters were killed while battling a hotel fire. 13 others were hurt. one is in critical condition. crews went inside thinking people may be trapped when a roof suddenly collapsed, killing the four firefighters, three men and a woman. the cause of this fire is still under investigation. well, new developments, the irs scandal showing just how widespread its targeting of conservatives it is. fox news confirmed as many as 88 employees have turned over documents related to the investigation.

the irs told them to keep all of these documents on their computers. the agency now facing multiple congressional investigations over its abusive power. it already missed two deadlines to submit documents to congressional committees. also new overnight, a brand new report from pakistan that says the obama administration is to blame for the hero doctor who found osama bin laden still behind bars. former defense secretary leon panetta admitted afridi's role helped locate bin laden but the report says it eliminated for any pakistani authorities to get afridi out of the country. he's been fighting a 33-year sentence for treason. it will be a black and white affair behind bars. we're not talking about the jail stripes. joran van der sloot is reported by planning a wedding this month.

he met his future wife while in a peruvian prison. prison officials have not granted permission for the wedding just yet. that fiancee can do better. i can tell you that much. >> that's absolutely incredible. this is this phenomenon that some people are attracted to people in prison. mass murderers, they get thousands of letters and it's bizarre. >> joining us on the phone is ralph weekly, the coach of the tennessee lady vols. their game was postponed last night due to the severe weather and they were forced underground at the time. thanks for joining us this morning. >> well, thank you. >> what did you experience as the game was about to get under way and get started? what did you have to do? take us there last night. >> well, kind of what happened, as i told your producer, i had been here as the director for several years and was here during the storm in '99, so we

kind of knew what was going to happen. when they told us the game was postponed and they would give us a 90-minute notice, we knew it was bad. of course, we could see what was going on on television. we got our whole team together in our meeting room at 3:00 and we told them, we checked the evacuation procedures with the hotel and found out where the shelter was. and we told our team to go back to their rooms but make sure they had on shoes and long pants and stuff like that. as the storm got closer, it looked like it was going to hit, we notified them immediately, they needed to go to the storm shelter. of course, they needed to tell all their parents because all their parents were here. so, when we got word that it was about 15 miles out, we just got th all together and orderly got them down into the storm shelter and shortly thereafter we were joined by all the other teams.

michigan was here in the hotel. nebraska was here, washington was here. probably ended up being about 1,000 people down in the storm shelter. everybody was pretty calm. and a lot of people were scared but they were calm and you could hear the wind and the hail. it was pretty crazy. police kept moving people away from the exit from the -- because the storm shelter is an underground parking garage. >> we're looking at these images. for our viewers who aren't familiar with storm shelters, here on the east coast it isn't something we necessarily have, or the west coast. what are we looking at? is this specifically designed for this kind of occurrence, thousands able to crowd into this underground structure? >> what they are really are the underground parking garages. we're right across the street from the renaissance and we're in the sheridan. there's keking tunnels. first everybody got in the tubls but then they were afraid pipes

might bust or something like that so they moved everybody out of the tunnels, out into the regular parking garages. of course, normal human beings, they want to get as close to the exit as possible. and the police actually told us that if it was close to a direct hit, people could be sucked out of the entrance of the parking garang, so they came through and moved everybody back deeper into the parking garage. it was interesting because everybody down there was really calm. you know, obviously, a lot of the players on all the teams were scared. but, you know, we were down there for about an hour and ten minutes, i think, and then we got the all clear. while we were down there the lights went off a couple of times and water was pouring in from the ceiling and pouring in from some pipes. not flooding but water was just pouring in. you could hear the hail. then when we got the all clear, we all came back upstairs to the hotel and ten minutes later the

sirens went off again, so we had to go back down there for 45 minutes. so, it was an interesting evening. we're just happy that everybody's safe. >> coach weekly, that is not the event you were planning this weekend. that is a different life experience. thanks for sharing your pictures and the experience with us. we can only imagine have a thousand players all together in a scary basement setting. >> thanks, ralph. >> thank you very much. coming up here on our show, a story we've been following closely. a 10-year-old girl fighting for her life. the problem, she's two years too young to get the lung that she needs. up next, the very latest on her battle. then as the tornado came in, people huddled together inside a freezer at a gas station. you're about to hear from a woman who thought they were all going to die.

with just weeks to live, this 10-year-old girl, my new friend, sarah is clinging to life as her family tries to get the rules changed so little sarah has a shot at a lung transplant. >> we've been waiting a year and a half for these lungs, but it's no different than any other part of my waiting. because her illness doesn't count like it counts for

everyone. and if her las score doesn't matter and i'm going to send her into this torturesome procedure, how is this going to be okay? how is she going to survive? >> we're joined by sarah's aunt and she joins us with the latest developments. sharon, good morning. >> good morning. >> what is the latest on sarah's case? >> we have a few recent developments. the first was secretary came out yesterday and the law should be changed but she chose not to save sarah and the several kids also in sarah's position waiting for lungs. the family's devastated. we don't understand how this could be the decision she makes. in parallel we've been reaching out to the adult lung centers to see if they could redirect lungs to us based on sarah's illness

severity. they all said yes. we've had hospitals up and down the east coast from florida to massachusetts out to idaho saying, absolutely, they'll let sarah compete based on the severity of her illness. but gift of life and uno say it's not possible, even though that's where we got the original idea to enter this plea. they say, no, it's not possible. they cannot send her lungs. they cannot allow that to happen. so, we're down to sort of a desperate situation. there's not much left. what we have learned is any person, any individual who's choosing to donate their loved one's lungs can insist that they go to sarah. and we think that's the only way sarah will be saved. >> and in terms of saving sarah, you and your family are not asking to take lungs away from another needy recipient. your viewpoint is that sarah is among the sickest and that no matter how -- what your age is,

it should be based upon your level of sickness, not whether you're a child or adolescent or an adult. why do you think that secretary sechlt sebelius has turned her back on sarah? >> we can't figure it out. she clearly agrees that the rule needs to be fixed and children need to be treated fairly and treated equitiably on this list. we know she has the power to make a decision to save sarah's life. we don't know. we can't understand it. >> there's an online petition people can sign to try to drum up more grass root support for sarah. and as you say, anybody can designate her as the recipient. please keep us posted. >> we're going to stay with it,

sharon. >> thank you. thank you, peter. thank you very much. switching gears, can you really catch up on sleep you missed during the week? we need to know this. can you sleep wake on the weekend? we'll separate fact from fiction for you. catch your first fish? then tell him he's special with great father's day gifts from bass pro shops. plus, for a limited time, well-qualified buyers can get 2.99 apr financing on america's favorite boats.

all right. do you have trouble getting your kids to sleep? it turns out there could be a genetic reason. a new study shows your sleeping rituals can be passed down to your kids, believe it or not. >> which habits do we need to worry about? dr. nina radcliff joins us. breaking down the myths of sleeping. let's start with the first myth here that naps can help you catch up with sleep. we hear the benefits of naps. >> that is a fact. not getting a good night's sleep can result in a sleep debt, so if you take a nap during the day, you can pay up on some of this debt. but you should know sleeping for more than one hour or sleeping after 3 p.m. can interfere with your sleep the following night. >> what if i have a triple espresso at 3:00 in the afternoon, is that going to affect my sleep? >> it very well could. i actually had this problem last

night. i was at dinner with my husband and with dessert they brought out the cappuccino thing and i had one and it was lovely but wasn't lovely when i couldn't sleep. caffeine is a stimulant, and most peak effect at 30 to 60 minutes after, it takes about six hours for your body to eliminate half of it. so triple espresso, not a good idea. >> so, it can stay in your system for many more hours than you feel it. >> six hours to get rid of half of up and 24 hours to get rid of it. >> some people like to have a glass of wine to sort of -- >> some people. >> to sort of simmer down at night, but that affects your sleep, we hear. >> yes. a glass of wine might be okay but the whole bottle, probably not. it can help you get to sleep faster but it may cause more interruptions in your sleep. you might wake up. alcohol interferes with rapid eye movement sleep, which is involved in memory consolidation as well as learning -- >> helps induce sleep but won't maintain sleep.

>> it may worsen the sleep. >> even one glass? >> one glass may be okay to get you off to sleep, but the whole bottle -- >> somewhere between one glass and one bottle. >> myth number four on your list here, sleeping more is always healthier. >> that is false. people who sleep more than eight hours a day are more likely to die younger than people who sleep six hours. >> why is that 1234. >> we don't exactly know. we know sleeping like a bear in hibernation may be a symptom of bad health or may cause it. we don't know that. >> sleep apnea. >> snoring like a bear. doctor, thank you for breaking down the myths and facts. coming up on the show, she made a split-second decision to save her life and 100 other people did the same thing. a miracle story from the oklahoma tornadoes. imagine looking out the window and seeing this. brand new details on what caused parts of this plane to go flying off midflight. you don't need those parts. >> who needs a wing. or an engine. i see you have allstate claim free rewards,

fox news alert. we want to bring you the latest pictures and news from our top story, that is these tornadoes devastated around oklahoma city, leading five people dead. one of the hardest hit areas is an area called el reno. let's take a look at the homes and buildings there. you can see lots of things ripped apart and debris tossed

around. >> mike tobin on the ground there. mike, tell us about it. >> reporter: this is the canadian valley technology center, what's behind me is one of those giant air conditioning units you're used to seeing on top of the building. somewhere this came from the roof of the technology center here. ended up down here. as i look around the different kind of debris. this is one of those metal studs that goes inside of a wall. it's a cheaper way to do construction. it's not hard to bend up one of these metal studs. what's hard is to get this out of the wall. this was torn out by the force of the wind. another shot across the parking lot, you can see a vehicle that's been flipped over. as we move our other camera shot around, another vehicle resting on its roof. continuing out this way, i want to show you these trees. it's important to see these trees. can you see all the foliage has been stripped off the trees but what remains is the bark. when you get into the powerful tornadoes, f-4s, f-5s, they will

rip off the bark. that's consistent with what we've heard. not necessarily the most powerful of the tornadoes. on the way in here we saw a lot of high water, standing water, consistent with all of the information that we had thunderstorm on top of thunderstorm, dropping a terrific amount of water, leaving a lot of flooding in the aftermath. guys, back to you in new york. >> wow. that is incredible. >> mike, was it hard to navigate those roads? are a lot of the roadways closed? you were making your way to el reno this morning. was it hard to get there or a straight shot? >> reporter: we did it a lot of it on the interstate and they are open. we encountered small patches over the roads. we took a gamble, it was something we could see across. had a good idea it didn't get too deep in the center, so we made it through that. i don't advise people at home to do that. back on local news we would tell people, don't drive through standing water. they do it and then they end up as lead story with a terrific video and guy standing on top of

his truck. i don't advise people to do that. we did it this time to push to get into location. a lot of high water, a lot of the rivers coming up and over their banks. >> mike tobin, thanks for showing us this throughout the morning. you'll be reporting there. now that the sun is up, there's a lot to see. >> thanks, mike. her story is terrifying and also life-affirming. beverly allen grabbed her daughter and son, got in the car and tried to outrun the twisters but she got trapped on the road. so, what did she do? she made a split-second decision to stop at a gas station where she hid inside a freezer with 50 strangers. >> joining us now on the phone is beverly. good morning, beverly. >> good morning. >> beverly, tell us why you tried to outrun the tornadoes instead of hunkering down where you were. >> basically, we just thought it was going to be a repeat of may 20th, and thought if we couldn't get underground, the best thing to do was go south.

that's basically what our local news people and weathermen were telling us on this side of town to go south, other side to go north. >> you get in the car, get the family in the car, head out. we're looking at this, bumper-to-bumper traffic. what did you encounter? at what moment did you decide to go into the sinclair gas station? >> we probably left a little too late. and the decision to really try to head for the gas station, which we saw about three-quarters of a mile down the road, is when the wind hit us. it was 60 to 80 miles an hour and blew us side ways into the other lane. we knew we had to get off the road very quickly then. and the sky was just growing darker and darker by the second. and we didn't know it, but what had happened, it had been traveling east but made a hard right turn, meaning south, so it was right behind us. >> so you went to this convenience store. and eventually you and about 100 other folks huddled and prayed and some cried and stayed

together throughout this convenience store, just trying to stay alive. is that right? >> yes. we were there about an hour. and a lot of people were upset. some more than others. some people were crying. a lot of children were crying, very scared. some people brought pets. some were generally laughing and joking and we were generally consoling each other trying to make it through it. >> you were in the freezer while all of this was happening. cue hear the tornado whirling around you? >> no. i came out of the freezer and then i was just in the back of the store. all we could hear was just a lot of wind and hail. >> what were the managers of the store like? >> they were -- oh, they were fantastic. they even offered me water. they were offering people everything, do you need a drink, whatever you need, take it, get. they were just fantastic. very helpful. >> i believe we saw some pictures of your home there today. you managed to get back home and assess some of the damage there.

what does your home look like this morning and how is your family doing? >> it's not as bad as we thought. we have a large tree in the back, a large limb on the front and a couple of shingles missing. >> well, it could have been much worse. we're so happy you survived. you wouldn't have thought you were going to take cover in a convenience store with dozens of strangers but that turned out to work out, thank goodness. beverly, thank you. >> thank you. thank you all very much. >> good luck to you. thank you. oklahoma not the only state that felt the fury of mother nature. brand new video into fox news of the damage left behind in missouri. our live team coverage continues with rick reichmuth. i know the st. louis card analyses game canceled, too? >> that is a northwestern suburb of st. louis, close to the airport, which had a lot of debris. they had to close it down for a little while while they cleaned up the tarmac. i came outside and met cody, from moore, oklahoma. you had your high school

graduation trip planned to new york city but 11, 12 days ago your town was destroyed. what's it like being here now? you saw storms last night go back through moore and you were here. tell me what you felt like last night. >> we were eating dinner last night. we kept getting updates on our phone saying, tornado warnings in moore and oklahoma city. and i was just thinking to myself, not again. i mean, this town has gone through, like, so much already. and it's just devastating to hear that again. i was just praying for people to be okay. >> you just graduated from high school. you said a number of guys on your football team lost their homes? >> yeah, we have 20 football players, not including student body, without homes. >> great news that last night there wasn't more impact in moore but more trauma to go through. >> yeah. have i an ex-girlfriend, her name is allison costello, she was oklahoma city university staying with her grandmother because her mother passed away.

>> in the tornado? >> yes, sir. she passed away and she was twitter messaging me and saying she was just, so, traumatized and scared and she was shaking. >> and i think that's the right thing. the trauma having this come in just a couple of days -- or a week and a half after this, for all those people in oak city. great news it wasn't worse right there but incredible flooding, guys, going to continue to go on as the water has to run somewhere. a lot of lower lying areas in rivers will continue to rise as that water goes up with 7 to 8 inches of rainfall falling overnight. it's not just there. across missouri, illinois, indiana, arkansas flash flooding going on. this week we'll see a major crest on the mississippi river around st. louis from all the water they've seen this week. back inside. >> thanks, rick. meanwhile, there are some other headlines to get to. here is what passengers saw out their window while on a british airways flight. the engine blew off midair and

turns out this was due to a maintenance mistake. an investigation into last week's emergency landing finds the crews did not properly shut the engine door. and is that led to parts flying off. one engine even caught on fire. the plane carried 75 people and forced to land at london's heathrow airport with one engine. imagine an intruder trying to break through your patio door. if you had a gun, would you shoot? one veteran did just that in oregon, firing a warning shot. he's now facing criminal charges. he lost his gun. police say the suspect was not aggressive enough. the former army specialist disagrees. >> everything that the suspect did was aggressive. he tried to bang on my door. he smashed up my patio furniture. he threatened me several times. so, if that's not aggressive, then i don't know what aggressive is, then. >> cory thompson says he reached out to the va and will represent himself in court if he cannot

find an attorney. if you thought your outrage of waste and abuse of the irs couldn't get any worse? think again. your tax dollars used to throw an irs dance party. cost about $1600. this happened a few years ago. the agency says it was a team-building exercise. republican senator rand paul says he's trying to comprehend the slew of scandals surrounding the obama administration. >> i don't even know where to start. it's kind of like old mcdonald's farm of scandals. here a scandal, there a scandal, everywhere a scandal. >> a recent quinnipiac poll shows 76% want a special prosecutor to replace eric holder in these investigations. >> you say they're doing the hustle there, right? >> it looked like the hustle. could have been the electric slide. i just need to hear the music. >> wasn't the macarena? >> no, wasn't that. coming up, latest victims of the sequester, our nation's

wounded warriors at walter reed. is that where we should be cutting? that is up next. look what mommy is having. mommy's having a french fry. yes she is, yes she is.

when he said "everyone gets health insurance"? but now congress says 7 million americans will lose their health insurance

and your insurance rates could increase by 200%. some health plans even get hit with a 40% tax test test test test welcome back. the latest victims of the

sequester, our nations wounded warriors. several have received furlough notices. what does that mean for veterans in need of medical care? >> joining us from washington, d.c. is retired u.s. marine corps gunnery sergeant jesse james duff. good morning, sergeant. >> good morning. how are you? >> i'm fine. thank you. nice to see you. tell us about this. it sounds disturbing on the face that the people who need the services most, our military, will be deprived of the workers, the employees, the people to help them at the walter reed military facility. tell us. >> right. this is very disturbing because we don't have a lot of information that's been released right now so it makes us very suspicious to me. has this been released to get the public all stirred up that military is being affected and the warriors won't receive their medical treatment? i mean, is this like the tsa incident where people were backlogged at airports and not able to get on the flight? is this a covert opes plan to

get us more dependent on the government? in recent years we wonder what the agenda is behind everything, and i'm concerned myself. >> as a concerned veteran, working for concerned veterans of america, have you to identified all the potential problems,falls and shortfalls where the government has let veterans down. this is just adding to the list. >> another long list. for example with the va right now we have a million veteran backlog waiting on medical claims with veterans' administration. so if walter reed starts cutting support for our veterans, it's appalling. we have numerous areasons we can cut before we affect the medical care of our warriors who put their lives and health and everything on the line to defend this country. >> what do you think the issue is, sergeant, do you think it's the obama administration trying to prove that there's pain in terms of the sequester cuts, or is there lack of interest and a lack of caring about veterans as

exposed by the fact that 20,000 veterans are dying each year, waiting for the benefits they never got? >> yes, 20,000 veterans do die a year, waiting on the va to provide their medical claim. people can get more information on our website at concernedveteransforamerica.org. what's going on is curious because we don't know if this is a ploy by the administration to get the public riled up thinking we need more, or is it a simple furlough that's going to cut administrative staff or people that have no -- no involvement with the veterans' medical care. and there are cuts that our government can make to run more efficiently. you know, the missile program is one. $13 billion that has gone down the toilet in the next ten years on a dead program that's never going to go anywhere. >> congress and the administration designed this to be painful. can't get more painful than having to harm our nation's

veterans. great seeing you. >> thank you so much for having me. >> semper fi. can't get your kids to eat health y try paying them. have you tried this? that's what supermodel heidi klum does. the producers of the new show "pretty wicked mom" join us next. whatever it takes. e verizon share everything plan for small business lets you connect up to 25 devices on one easy to manage plan. that means your smartphone, her blackberry, his laptop, mark's smartphone but i'm still on vacation. still on the plan. nice! the intern gets a tablet? everyone's devices. his, hers-- oh, sorry. all easier to manage on the share everything plan for small business. connecting more so you can do more. that's powerful. verizon. get the blackberry z10 for $199.99.

to do what you need to do to get the outcome you need. if that is bribing for grades or vegetables. that is fine. >> yeah, no. we should not bribe them. they should get allowance and do chor es and do it the old fashioned way. that is just me. >> these are not the mothers of my childhood, they look different, they act different, how do you describe them? >> these moms are fantastic and the best part is it's the first reality show that depicted motherhood in the real state. we all feel guilty, judged and competitive. >> yeah the competitive aspect is over the top. and we all feel it. you so relate to these women, if it's not you, it's your frnd. we are all trying figure it out and do the best job we can. >> these mothers are more glamorous than i recall. is that what you mean by

competitive. they are competing with each other to be as young and sexy as possible or they want their kids to be the best? >> it's everything, one mom makes organic food and the other moms feel inferior. they are great and fabulous and beautiful, but we are all the same at the core. >> even though they are beautiful, they are still fight lg their way to the top, they want their kids to be the smartest and the best. and it effects your marriage. it affects your relationships with your friends. >> and we are happy that moms out there will watch it and relate and say, oh, my gosh, my 2-year-old sleeps in our bed too, and our marriage is you ever issing. >> it starts tuesday, june 4th. 10:00 p.m. on lifetime. more fox and friends in just three minutes.
