we can smell gas. and it's pro pain from tanks like these that are leaking, and they are keeping residents away. you can see this town was hit terribly hard. the destruction goes at least another half mile that way. the newspaper this morning described it quite well saying it looks like god used two fingernails to scratch the land. >> oh, dear god. >> reporter: families here in pilger, nebraska, were praying for mercy. >> oh. another tornado. >> reporter: as two massive tornadoes nearly erased their town. one of them nearly a mile wide. >> ripping up a whole town. >> reporter: take a look again, a two-headed monster. everyone here, nearly 400 people had to be evacuated. >> we have multi-tornadoes on the ground here. >> reporter: the twisters crisscrossed highways and narrowly missed cars on the road. >> oh, gosh. >> reporter: here's the moment when the giant cloud of debris just misses the city's water tower.

7:06 am
the ground here. i've never seen anything like this and i've been storm chasing for probably 10 to 12 years professionally and this is just very, very dangerous. hey, guys, get inside, please. get inside, please. we're just trying to get this information to you so you can get it out to the folks in this area and protect their lives and property. >> such incredible images especially the two twisters side by side like that. there's a threat of more severe weather today. 44 million people in the path of that and amy freeze from our station in new york, wabc is tracking it for us. good morning, amy. >> there's a reason for people to be on guard. this was a particularly dangerous situation. the dual or twin tornadoes are also known as satellite tornadoes. they actually have multiple vortices inside and you can see on the imagery the evidence of these violent turbulent wind fields that usually expands the damage. so really, really serious situation. still we have a lot of activity going on. this tornado watch box goes until 9:00 a.m. chicago included in that and there is a bow form to some of these storms so very potent. 14 states remain under the threat of severe weather today.

7:08 am
and the region to protect u.s. embassy personnel here. more than 100 are already here to help secure the $700 million fortress, the size of 80 football fields built to withstand attacks. the president is also considering sending up to 100 u.s. special forces to help advise iraqi troops. with numerous iraqi cities captured, the president keeping all options open. a u.s. warship now on the move equipped with five osprey, tilt rotor aircraft to be used in any evacuation. but if the u.s. it ises decides attack, more options. an aircraft carrier in the persian gulf capable of launching 40 fighter jets to strike isis militants. there are also two additional u.s. warships nearby able to launch cruise missiles. and the u.s. still considering further talks with iran about how to push the militants back, but this would not involve any military coordination.
7:09 am
secretary of state john kerry telling yahoo!'s katie couric -- >> i think we are open to any constructive process here that could minimize the violence, hold iraq together, the integrity of the country, and eliminate the presence of outside terrorist forces. >> reporter: of course, the violence continues here right in baghdad. a bomb going off right where those young men were buying military equipment. george? >> okay, martha, thanks. more now on the president's big decision from abc's jon karl at the white house and, jon, the president is under great pressure to act quickly and met with his national security team last night for several hours and as martha suggested a wide range of options on the table. >> reporter: yeah, the military leadership presented him with options ranging at the low end to sending those about 100 special operation forces to iraq simply to advise and to train the iraqi military. at the high end would be a
7:10 am
full-scale u.s. bombing campaign against militant targets in northern iraq. expecting a decision from the president on this quite soon, george. meanwhile, as you heard martha report, the president's already notified congress he is sending 275 troops to the region to defend the embassy, so we are already seeing the flow of u.s. forces back into iraq. but the white house is saying over and over again, this is not for combat. these will not be combat troops. >> and the white house also talking about working with iran who has been an adversary. what might that cooperation look like? >> reporter: well, the way the white house looks at this is that iran is the one force in the region that has influence with the government of prime minister maliki, so what the u.s. is asking iran to do and hoping iran will do is to pressure maliki to do some political reconciliation at the heart of this whole problem. >> okay, jon, thanks, the decision soon but not likely today. >> okay there, george. now to the world cup and that thrilling victory for team

7:14 am
in the last two world cups to ghana. all i can say is, boy, were you right, alexi. >> to a certain extent they are different, but when i look at this game it was awesome. was it progressive? was it new? absolutely not, but i don't care. it was traditional. it was american in that the u.s. didn't have a lot of possession. they defended like banshees. they relied on set pieces. jozy altidore going down. clint dempsey breaking his nose and in that sense for me it was beautiful. they got three points against a team that played better than them, but that's the only thing that matters is they got three points so, yes, for me it was a beautiful performance. you don't get to tell me what a beautiful woman is. you don't get to tell me what a beautiful song is, or what a beautiful win is, i get to decide, and that was a beautiful performance. that was america. >> ah, i love -- what's not to love about you, alexi. let's talk a little bit more about the group. they have portugal that they'll play on sunday. just tell us a little bit about that matchup.
7:15 am
>> well, look, portugal is a great team. we know about cristiano ronaldo, ed fact is that portugal went out in their first game and got she lacked by germany. it could come down to the goal differential. there were a few injuries and a red card for portugal so they'll be missing some of their key players, but i tell you what, i think we'll see a better performance from the u.s. in terms of possession against portugal. but just because you beat ghana doesn't mean you've gotten through the group and have to figure out a way to beat a very good portugal team and have a good performance and a better performance against portugal. >> this has to give them confidence, alexi. >> absolutely, absolutely. how about john brooks? if you had told me, i don't know, a couple months ago john brooks would be on the team yet let alone score that goal, i would have said you're crazy. but that's what the world cup is about. it can change your life and did for john last night. >> he had a dream about it. we'll talk to him later. alexi, enjoy your day there. thanks for stopping by. we appreciate it. >> thank you very much. >> all right, espn has a triple
