horn horizontal. >> terrifying twisters barrelling down on storm chasers. tornadoes slamming oklahoma city and neighboring towns. at least nine people are now dead including a mother and her baby. another 50 people are reported injured at this time. violent weather trapping people underground and in cars. this storm barrelling through friday evening rush hour, powerful winds tossing 18-wheelers like they were toy trucks and bad weather sweeping east illinois. hello, everybody. we have live coverage of this

devastation as the emergency response team continues to help folks on the ground and in the heartland. we have janice dean in our extreme weather center. and standing by in oklahoma city. first, let's get a sense of how bad the damage is at this hour. officials are preparing to survey the aftermath. oklahoma governor, mary fallon is joining us by phone. thank you, governor. let's talk about the fact it seems hard to believe even unimaginable you are dealing with the aftermath of this powerful twister just 11 days after the twister that hit northern oklahoma. as i understand it we're talking about a series of twisters that ripped through your state last night. what can you tell us about your damage? >> caller: it's been a hard night and day yesterday. it is hard to believe we would experience another storm especially so soon after what we've been going through with cleanup damage and the recent damage. right now, we're assessing the storm damage.

we think we've had about three tornadoes that came through three different paths, in and out of clouds, we had a lot of heavy amounts of wind and rain and hail damage. we're looking at the various communities. there were many. it's taking -- it will take us a while to do the assessment. we have fema people on the ground. our emergency management, local communities are beginning to get out and assess our damages in the daylight. there has been some structural damage. not anything like we saw with moore but there has been damages to homes, to buildings. our huge concern yesterday was we saw a lot of people basically trying to out-run the storm. i think they were so worried what happened in moore, some of them left their houses and went on the highways, going to churches and office buildings, libraries, whatever might have had a better underground structure and the major interstates were clogged up with

miles and miles of cars that were not moving, stuck in traffic. the storm, as we could see from the news, and the weather, was barrelling down through those areas. it was a very frightening time. >> it must have been very frightening for those folks trapped in their cars indeed. once again sadly we're hearing about the loss of life in your state, including a mother and her baby. what are they saying about the loss of life and injured at this time? >> caller: we have heard the mother and baby were actually unfortunately sucked out of their car and were found in the debris field close by, very very sad thing. the medical examiner's office is telling us nine fatalities we know of. injured we don't have a count on yet. we do know there are people in the hospitals that sustained injuries from the storm, some critical, some had injuries themselves. we're dealing right now with flooding that is throughout many of the communities.

we also have a lot of downed power lines. at one point we had 127,000 homes and businesses without power. you think about that, we're still trying to get things cleaned up and helping those communities around moore, newcastle, shawnee, bethel acres that got hit last week. we're getting a lot of people on the ground, which is good. i have to believe some of these people are getting pretty worn from having so much to do. >> sure. their hearts have to be breaking at the fact they were already cleaning up to begin with and other storms coming through the area just last night. let's talk for a moment about last night, the fact so many people as you mentioned headed to their cars during the evening rush hour. how much preparation did the folks have there were tornadoes on the way? >> caller: we actually started very early, earlier in the week, just telling people there were going to be a couple days the weather conditions would be ripe for some severe storms. yesterday morning we were

warning people, just watch the weather today. the weather has been just different. we've had clouds and sunshine and then within say an hour, it can change really quickly. i was out on the highway around the moore area driving, had gone down there to do something, about 4:30 in the afternoon, was looking at the radar on my phone, it was clear. there weren't any storms anywhere. around 5:00 i started seeing a storm around el reno and yukon area and it built up quickly with the challenge we had. i started back to the city and around 6:00, we were in full storm mode and three different communities and many different tornadoes going through the vicinity of central oklahoma and

we had even taken the department of transportation and put electronic signs on the highway warning people we already had, because i saw it myself. be wear there are extreme potential storm continues between 6:00 and 7:00 tonight. be wear and stay off the highways if you can. we were telling people. highway local police were going up and down the highways, get off the road, don't go down this road. still, there were those that got out to try to go somewhere else. >> governor, we wish you all the best. our hearts continue to reach out to you and the people of your great state. i know they will continue to be resi resilient and we wish you the best and will check back with you often on the conditions. >> thank you. we appreciate the thoughts and prayers and the media helping get the good word out what we need to do with these situations. >> governor, thank you very much.

let's go to mike tobin standing by in el reno and the latest on theest estimates in that area. mike. >> it is remarkable, you look around and see the damage. all of this is the roof of the technical center. you look past me and can see the structures and all the cars battered because of the force of the storm. it was really a remarkable coming together of a number of different factors. you had all these tornadoes forming in the sky at the same time, so many stringers and storm chasers recording what was happening. we have this remarkable view of funnel clouds, forming in the sky, reaching down to the earth and scouring the earth and going back into the sky oftentimes as another funnel cloud was formed, particularly in el reno, the day aft after. we're seeing a lot of structural damage to buildings, a lot of cars battered by debris and trucks overturned by the force

of the storm. what we're learning because of the casualtyies, many of those casualties were people who tried to drive home and didn't get to safety underground. where i am at the el reno technical center, all the people made it because they practiced their tornado drills, they got underground. the other thing we're seeing in daylight beyond the destruction on the ground, we're seeing a lot of standing water on roadways and rivers with wanding over their banks. it was already saturated with water and got a tremendous amount of water dumped last night, iuma. >> thank you. we hope they recover the way we know oklahomians can. those powerful tornadoes hit multiple states, missouri, illinois, iowa, kansas and north

dakota. now, the biggest threat today, concerns over flooding following massive downpours. let's go to meteorologist, janice dean with the latest on the fox weather center. >> hi, uma. as you mentioned the flooding is the big concern, states that received 6, to 10 to 12 inches of rain in a matter of hours, portions of oklahoma, kansas, missouri, portions of illinois, indiana. a lot of these areas are suffering from flooding. flash flood watches and warnings continuing today and next week. you see the maroon color here, that is 6-12 inches in just hours. here is some of the video we are getting. we saw a sinkhole in and around oklahoma city. that's how saturated the ground -- the ground is giving way. people are advised to stay off the roads. do not travel across roads you cannot see the bottom of. high water can be very deadly if

you're not careful and you just don't want to do that. that's why the national weather service came up with the saying, "turn around don't drown." today and into next week, this continues to be an ongoing situation as the storms train in the same areas. there's the radar and potential for not only flooding but straight line wind damage, 60 to 70 miles an hour winds possible throughout the day today and could see tornadoes from the great states to texas and moving to the northeast, heavily populated areas sunday. we could actually see tornadoes in areas that don't typically see tornadoes. powerful systems that continue to move eastward. we'll bring you the latest from the fox weather center, uma. >> how long will these waters continue to rise? >> it will take a few days. the storm system is still hovering in the same area. we could see an additional 1-3

inches on top of the amounts i just showed you. as we head to early next week, there will be a drying out period. uma, we are expecting more storms to hit the same area. unfortunately, we will have a few days we can clean up and then watching skies again in and around the oklahoma area next week. >> lots of weather. thank you very much. turning now to other news. grief and disbelief as houston's fire department mourns what is the single most loss of life in its history. they salute the fallen firefighters as police escort their bodies. they died fighting a massive five alarm hotel fire yesterday. they were searching for people they believed were still trapped inside when the hotel's roof collapsed. at least 13 other firefighters were injured including one that remains in critical condition.

official irs business, how many times? >> i testified last year before issa's committee. i only went over there once on a policy matter- >> you're very aware of the fact you're under oath today. what would be some of the reasons you might be at the white house? >> the easter egg roll, with my kids. questions about the administeribility of tax policy they were thinking of. our budget. us helping the department of education streamline application processes for financial aid. >> there you have it. two different irs chiefs. the latest one saying the easter egg roll. that's one of the reasons that's being given for why the now former head of the irs says he visited the white house. the head of the irs went to 1600 pennsylvania avenue at least 157 times, more times than any other

cabinet member. those visits happening particularly around the time the targeting conservative groups. questions about those visits continue to raise big questions as the irs scandal continues to dominate headlines. joining us now, former arkansas governor, mike huckabee and host of "huckabee live." thank you, governor. great to have you here. >> thank you. when i hear that easter egg excuse, i smell rotten eggs here. i don't think you go to the white house 157 times more than the secretary of state and defense and health and human services secretary in the process of administering obama-care. it's absolutely indefensible to say i may have gone over there a few times for the easter egg roll, you've gone 157 times. now we know the irs targeted conservative groups and jewish groups and groups that disagreed with the policies of the obama

administration. something stinks to high heaven. >> we had bill o'reilly talking to one of the former chiefs said when he was the head he went there only once, juxtaposed that from what we're hearing 157 times, it does raise big questions whether or not this scandal will go all the way to the top. >> that's what congress has to get to the bottom of. they need to find out how high up did this go? was this a culture of corruption just within the irs? was there coordination with the administration and if so, at what level? only within the treasury department? all the way to the white house and if it's within the white house, how high up in the white house or was this merely someone just in a high position suggesting, you know, it would really be important if -- and then someone deciding to take that ball and run with it. the point is there have been a lot of americans who have never violated the law that have been treated like criminals, incurred hundreds of thousands in

collectively millions of dollars in accounting and attorney fees and somebody has to be held responsible for that. >> we're also learning up to 88 irs employees may have been involved, not just a few rogue agents supposedly acting on their own in ohio, as the irs first stated. what do you think about that? what do you make of that? >> uma, there has to be a really detailed thoughtful investigation where people are brought in under oath. it can't be this sllois learner duplicity, i will take the fifth and before i do that, let me declare myself innocent. she can't do that and she did it any way. she has to be called back. she can't claim something and then not called to testify. there are so many missing links here. i think what we've got to find out is how high up did it go. but more importantly, why? why were certain groups targeted. the frightening thing. every american should be outraged over this. i don't care what a person's

political view is. liberals, the aclu. when the federal government can use all its unlimited powers and unlimited resources to trample the rights of citizens because of what they think, what they say, what they pray, who they associate with, that's a shredding of the first amendment that really does affect every american. >> really quickly, governor, what do you think about the future of attorney general eric holder at this time? >> the president still defenders him. the white house press secretary says he's going to stay. he's radioactive. if you're a person not that fond of the obama administration, you have to hope he does stay. he's just a lightning rod to call more attention to the corruption that clearly exists within this administration and the duplicity and the fact they can't get their story straight. >> governor, always great to have you here, joining us with your insights. we will be watching tonight at 8:00 eastern time for your big show, huckabee, right here on fox news. >> thank you, uma. >> great to see you. next, the fight to save

sara. one of the family's nightmarish ordeals to get their little girl a life saving lung transplant. patrick will be joining us after the break, what's next for sarah. then we go back to the devastating twisters that tore through the northwest and find out if more trouble is headed for that state. at 4:30, presidential candidate, pat buchanan is joining us live to weigh in on the mounting scandals plaguing the obama administration. stay with us. 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.

as the irs scandal widens, lawsuits on behalf of 25 tea party conservative groups against the internal revenue service are under way and new investigations next week are likely to reveal the extent and purpose of targeting of these groups and if the scandal goes all the way up to the white house. joining us with thoughts on this, congressman from pennsylvan pennsylvania, head of the committee, patrick. good to have you here today. >> thanks for having me. >> we're learning more about this. a half-dozen gop donors were reportedly targeted as well along with jewish groups. does there appear to be at this point from your view, a planned coordinated strategy of all this? >> you start seeing a pattern of

activity. i have had communications with representatives of catholic organizations, some of whom took positions contrary to some of the positions that were being forwarded say with obama-care or otherwise and they believe they were targeted as well. i think the fundamental word, and that was in the ig's report was "targeted." that's the kind of activity, when you're talking about the irs that starts to border on the words on was this illegal. >> the latest news reports we're hearing, 88 irs employees may be involved in this effort, not just a few rogue agents? >> we clearly established this identification it was rogue agents out in cincinnati was a complete misrepresentation, that it went, in terms of activity, for direction, back to washington d.c. then, when it was discovered that this targeting was going on, the communication about that went all the way to the top of

the white house, to the chief counsel to the chief of staff of the president. there was knowledge about the targeting and activity that took place in washington, all contrary to the representations that this was exclusively a couple of rogue agents in cincinnat cincinnati. >> let's talk for a moment now about a story i know is very important to you. you've been trying very hard to help one of your young constituents in pennsylvania, little 10-year-old sarah, who is suffering from cystic fibrosis and in dire need of a lung transplant. she's not old enough to get an adult donor lung. you appealed to health and services secretary kathleen sebelius to stand in. as i understand it, she has asked for a review of the policies but has chosen not to intervene right now in sarah's case, is that correct? >> that is. she has asked for review and we're appreciative of that. but there at review appropria appropriately will take quite some time and it's not going to be done in time for sarah to

benefit from what i believe is her appropriate place in line. i also believe that there's a case to be made to the secretary that in light of the fact that they have recognized there is a problem in the policy, it's supposed to be an equitable policy, it's discriminatory towards sarah because of her age and i believe that creates the legal basis for the secretary to act in the manner to step in, without changing precedent, mind you, to direct that sarah be given her appropriate place in line and not discriminated against because of her age. she's almost 11. if she was 12, she would get this organ without any question. >> that's what's so hard to deal with, the fact she is almost 12 and it would seem that because she is in such a dire situation right now, steps could be taken to intervene in her behalf. >> yes. this is what we're -- we're at a point where it can only be done by the transportation -- the

transplantation network, under the direction of the secretary or the secretary herself. as a former federal attorney, i do believe that there's a basis in which this can be done without violating the consistency of the policy and i'm hoping we will be able to get the secretary to consider that. >> do you feel like you're going to be able to do something right now at this point before it's too late? i know the family is really desperate at this point. they are making an appeal to everyone, even people who are -- have loved ones whose organs may be donated to remember sarah, to consider her in this situation. >> yes. i do believe that there's a possibility although we're going to have to have, you know, this kind of -- this kind of action. it does open -- people need to appreciate the importance of the donation of organs and the

significance of the policies and appropriate way for sarah to get her organ. >> congressman, thank you very much. our hearts and prayers go out to sarah's family. i know you will be working really hard to make sure everything that can be done will be done to save her. thank you. >> you're welcome. thank you for your interest. still ahead, the very latest on those tornadoes that we now know have killed at least nine people. a live report coming your way next. and we'll talk to the leader of a tea party group that says the irs tied up her organize in red tape and not just at the federal level. you'll want to hear more about this story. i'm in my work van, having lunch,

emergency response teams still assessing the damage in the midwest after at least 17 reported tornadoes touched down in that area last night.

mike is the emergency response meteorologist with the national weather service. welcome. thank you for joining us on the phone. i know the big problem for folks on the ground there was these tornadoes formed really quickly. >> caller: they virtually exploded in the late afternoon. there wasn't a lot of lead time from the time they initiated to the time they started forming tornadoes. fortunately the norman forecast office issued the first warning with 19 minutes of lead time, above average and did a good job on that. >> still a good average. but a lot of folks were trying to out-run the storm, as we've been reporting and the traffic jam on the highways last night raised concerns as the storms barrelled through. >> caller: that's right. a lot of traffic on i-40 and unfortunately a lot of storm chasers as well clogging up the roads and unfortunately people didn't have anywhere to go. >> quickly, the forecast going

forward, i understand we have to be on the lookout for more storms. i know this is the seasons for tornadoes. what are your indications at this point? >> caller: fortunately for areas impacted yesterday, storms have moved to the south and they're looking at several days of very nice weather and storms will be moving to portionings of arkansas and north texas. fortunately, the tornado threat today is much less than what it was yesterday. >> that is good news indeed, mark. thank you much for joining us. appreciate it. >> caller: you're welcome. m >> well, the north cal tea party is the first tea party group to fight against what they describe as tier ran call treatment by the internal revenue service. they said they buried that group in paperwork more than three years as they tried to get ex-sempt status and say the red tape problem was not just on the federal level but the state

level as well. joining us now, jenny, a coordinator for the north cal tea party and joining us live. thank you for coming here today. >> thanks for having me. >> this was something you already knew and felt you were already being targeted, to begin with. >> i didn't pick up on it at the very beginning. we filed for our status in march of 2010. we got a letter requesting more information in august of 2010. they wanted 34 additional pieces of information. at that time, my thought was this is just typical government breaks run amuck. i sent them a box of the information they wanted next for the donor and membership information because that's not required on a 501(c)(4). but i didn't hear from them again for another 17 months. then, when they sent another letter, they -- they wanted 97 additional pieces of information. and at that same time, we had a notice from the irs saying th

that -- on the personal level, we had some auditing on the personal level, but also with the state. >> talk to me about that. you say it wasn't just limited to the feds. what did the state do? >> well, once you get -- we finally did get our 501(c)(4) status after i had our congressman, tom mcclintock, he wrote a scathing letter to the irs and cited the three constitutional violations they had committed against us. three weeks later we got our letter from the irs. once you get your letter from the irs, then you send that on in to the state. and typically, once you have the federal approval, the states are just a rubber stamp. that was in august of 2010 -- or 2012. i still don't have our letter from the state. >> wow. >> they're trying to collect back taxes from us because they say we weren't a nonprofit, yet you can act as a nonprofit while you're waiting. >> let me ask you quickly because we have breaking news.

this will be the last question. as you move forward, you're the first group to file lawsuit with the federal government against the irs. let me ask you about the specific questions that really bothered you you were being asked to reveal. >> they wanted to know the names, addresses and telephone numbers of our donors as well as the names, addresses and telephone numbers of all of our members. that is not required with a 501(c)(4). they wanted to know what books we read. they wanted the transcripts of every speech from any speaker at any meeting at any rally we had ever done. they wanted personal information about our board members. one of the groups in southern california was asked if they were connected to us on their questions they received from the irs. >> wow. >> so they're actually tying all of this together and going after the different groups and making sure that they try to, at least, thwart our efforts.

>> it's amazing. i still can't get over the fact they were asking groups like yours what books you were reading as part of the requirements for filing tax-exempt status. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> keep us posted on your developments. we appreciate it. >> we will. >> now, we turn to that part of the show, your turn to pick the news. let us know what you think about some of the more colorful stories that catch your eye at the end of the week and we are reading those with the most votes. the ultimate wedding crasher, why this photo went viral or tw twin-tastic, a set of twin sisters who do everything together, even starting a family. and here comes honey boo-boo. the child reality star goes worldwide. and superhero blruhaha.

welcome back, everybody. turkey is dealing with some of its most first anti-government protests in years, government and demonstrators crashing for a second day as the country's prime minister vows to move forward with a controversial redevelopment plan. joining us live from our middle east newsroom with more on the story, connor. >> uma, the violence began yesterday at small peaceful protests in downtown istanbul, protesters gathering to block the destruction of an old

historic park that symbolizes the birth of the modern state and they want to build a shopping mall there. they began firing tear gases, injuring dozens. protests turning violent have entered their second day in other cities anger growing at the government and there has been unrest growing for some time for the authoritarian actions of the government headed today by the mildly islamic president. in the last years the government has arrested dozen of journalists and opponents. turkey is a nato member and has a strong alliance with the united states particularly with syria. the government appears to be taking a heavy handed approach to the protests. the big question is what will happen next across the middle east. they have a history of bubbling

up into something larger. it is not for sure it will happen in turkey but something everyone is watching. the arab spring in turkey springing up could just be the next country, turkey. >> thank you. well, the slew of investigations rocking the white house has some wondering where is the president. pat buchanan, former advisor of former presidents says why he thinks the president needs to step up his leadership. let's talk for a moment about your concerns right now. people are wondering for example with the irs scandal, how far does this go? how far up the food chain in terms of the white house involvement or not? you obviously have served for many different presidents. give us a sense on the inside, what's going on as this kind of scandal -- this kind of scandal brewing on the outside and they're trying to contain it.

what role do you think the president needs to have then these type of scans erupt? >> i would be outraged. he's been kept in the dark about all of them. let's take the scandal, i think, where the fox news washington correspondent is declared basically a co-conspirator in espionage. this is done by the attorney general without alerting the president of the united states. that and the ap full-court press, he has severely damaged the president of the united states relation with the press core, one of his principal assets. he knew nothing about it until it broke in the news. the same with the irs. he found out about this 3-year-old full-court press on the tea party people from cincinnati and all the way up to washington three years after it beg began, at the same time you and i found out about it. i think the president of the united states has got to be enraged he has been so badly

served by his own staff and by his administration and he's been kept out of the loop. one more example. his ambassador was murdered on that september 11th. his embassy, the american embassy was burned down or the consulate was burned down. our cia guys were in a firefight. within 24 hours the cia was out of there. we all knew or they all knew at the agency everywhere this was a terrorist attack. two weeks later, the president of the united states is up there clueless at the u.n. talking about, six times, about some video protests which never occurred. he's the president of the united states. it looks like an absentee landlord, someone who is not clued in on what is going on in his administration. >> yet the poll for the president have remained fairly steady up until recently, we see a little bit of dip in favorability. how do you think this is playing out with the public? do you think as this drags on,

it will have more impact on his popularity? >> i really do. the irs, if as you've been reporting, you have 80 people in that office working on the tea party and working on conservative groups and you're telling me that didn't reach the irs senior leadership for a year? it didn't reach the treasury department leadership for two years? it didn't reach the white house for three years? is this a rogue agency completely out of control? i think what's going to happen with the president is not so much hostility to him, people are going to ask, is he in charge? does he know what's going on because it appears he knew nothing at all about the origins of these three scandals until they broke in the public, he had not been alerted by any one. his white house was alerted by some degree. they didn't even go into the oval office and say, mr. president, we have a problem coming down here. >> the damage is going to be felt either way whether it ends today or -- >> it's not going to end today. you take this irs thing, this will go for a long period --

>> talking hypothetically, whether today or months from now, the damage has been done. >> it will be slow bleeding of the president's support and regard of the president as chief executive of the united states and rightly so because he has been derelict in his duties as president. it may not be his fault, may be his staff's fault or cabinet's fault but he has been terribly d disserved in this whole episode. >> pat buchanan, great to see you as always. thanks for being here. take it or leave it, one popular republican senator giving advice to his own party, what paul rand thinks the gop needs to do to win the next round of elections. e verizon share everything plan for small business
