thunderstorms, the first funeral being planned for one of the ten children killed during monday's devastating tornado down in moore, oklahoma. "today in the bay's" jody hernandez is in moore and joins us live on the phone. good morning. i have to imagine it has to be very difficult to put into words what this community is going through. >> it certainly is going to be a very emotional day. i'll tell you right now, we are seeing a severe storm hitting moore, oklahoma. it is hitting as we speak. that's why we are not live for you. we are on the phone. we are seeing a lot of thunder, a lot of lightning out here. we took some cell phone video, so you can get an idea of what we are experiencing out here. we are also told that possible hail could be coming this morning as well. this weather has brought the cleanup effort to a halt for the time being as cleanup crews and news crews seek cover. the weather will slow down the

efforts of families trying to collect and salvage their belongings from the rubble. there was sort of a mad rush to do that yesterday before the stormy weather hit. every day has an emotional out. today will be specially emotional as the first funeral is held for one of the young members, a 9-year-old, one of the nine children that died when a tornado struck the plaza towers elementary school will say their final good-byes today. she was found clinging to a friend who also died at this school. now, this will be the first of a dozen funerals. now, this morning, the family of another young victim, 9-year-old jenee hornsby that died at the plaza towers is sharing what they are going through. she lost her mother just last year. so it was very hard. >> janae was a special kid.

addresses in nearby greenwich, which is not far from woolich where it happened. this is not related to the two suspects who are currently in custody. we are waiting to find out more about that. the bbc is reporting both s suspects, one seen here, they are british citizens with nigerian connections. police say terrorism was their motivation. prime minister cameron said british intelligence may have been aware of them before yesterday's attack. the people who did this were trying to divide us. they should know something like this will only bring us together and make us stronger. the police have responded with heightened security and activity. that is right but one of the best ways of defeating terrorism is to go about our normal lives. that is what we shall all do. >> one of the heroes in yesterday's attack is this

48-year-old woman. this mother here. you can see her confronting one of the suspects. look at this. officials say she so bravely got off of a bus that was forced to stop because of the chaos and she went straight to the attackers trying to keep them calm. sh morning, she appeared on a british talk show. >> that's what he had and blood all over him. i thought, what the heck happened there? >> again, she is a 48-year-old woman. she is a mother. i mentioned that. i also want to point out that she is a cub scout leader. just an absolutely courageous, brave woman there. as for the two suspects, they remain in serious condition in the hospital this morning. they are being guarded by british police. police say they plan to interview them later today. laura and jon. >> what a bizarre scene and what a hero that woman is. >> fire crews in the south bay mopping up after a house fire in san jose. they broke out at 1:15.

embankment on 580 westbound just west of grant line road. a metal pipe had gone through the windshield of his volvo wagon killing him. it was around three feet long often used by truckers to tighten down straps holding down cargo on the back of flatbed trucks. that doesn't say exactly where it came from. >> we have nothing right now. we have no idea whether it came off of a truck or a trailer or if it was laying within the roadway and kicked up by another vehicle. >> chp is used to seeing debris hitting bumpers and damaging cars. certainly, loads must be secured on trucks but there are still so many unanswered questions about where this came from. again, chp asking you to think about. what happened yesterday as you head out this morning. reporting live in livermore, christi smith, "today in the bay." >> all right, christi, what a freak, scary accident out there. it is 5:11 out there. while housing prices are on the
