team and brad/wx wall weather adlib: i would like to say our weather has calmed down from wednesday, but that is really not the case with these strong wind in the wake of our tornado producing system. that powerful november storm has produced winds in excess of 50 mph in most areas thursday, and while they will

drop off a bit tonight and tomorrow they are not going away just yet. skies will be clear tonight and into friday. jack: caught on camera-- this is the now confirmed tornado that touched down right near the des moines airport. why the people who spotted it tonight have their jobs in jeopardy. clip 1454 24:32 my wife saw it coming through the window and i said let's head for the basement." 24:35 stephanie: more storm stories too-- we talk to the iowans who rode out last night's wild weather. jack: and later-- why were "out of about an iowa pipeline project? " local 5 news at 10 in hd starts now. we are iowa" nats - "a tornado forming right above our heads right now!" nats - "wow!" scanner nats - radio beeps nats - "tornado on the ground" nats - "wow look at that thing" jack: the national weather service has now confirmed five twisters touched down in iowa yesterday.

it tore up farms buildings and flipped vehicles on roads. jack thanks for joining us stephanie and i'm stephanie recapping those central iowa is our big story tonight. stephanie: the national finishing up their surveys for today and here's an ef-2 near plano-- that was the night's strongest storm. two ef-one mahaska county. and an ef-0 in guthrie county and at the des moines airport, stephanie: even with an ef zero, the wind was up to 75 miles per hour... here's what that looked like on the ground of the des moines airport... video shot from a traveler inside the terminal. this coming to us via twitter... the plane ladder carried away by gusts across the runway. stephanie: that airport storm also caught on camera here looking from the south near cumming -- you can see the funnel cloud forming. this tornado was spotted by the official team of meteorologists who are stationed at the des moines airport. stephanie: those weather observers who work inside the tower want you to know just how important

their job is ... because the f-a-a might get rid of them. local five's kattey ortiz is here with the story new at 10. kattey at any given moment ... there is someone in that tower recording all sorts of detailed weather data. for traffic control operators who communicating however the f- a-a may cut them to save money. after days like yesterday ... the weather observers are begging them to change their minds. "today we're reporting because the airplanes today ... they're other days its snow ... rain ... a severe storm. no matter the condition ... a weather observer always has an eye on the sky 24 hours a day ... every day of the year. "when you see a report that says the des moines airport, that's us sending out the report." it's a job that requires constant attention to detail to allow controllers to manage the runways. down the tower every five to ten minutes and type up the reports. and the weather changes so quickly we have to type up

these reports very quickly." but all 8 observers are on the chopping block. the f-a-a may soon deem them unneccessary to cut costs. after big weather events like yesterday's tornado ... they know they are needed. "severe weather may not have been reported if we were not there." the observers say inaccuracy during severe storms is too big of a risk to take if they're forced to leave. "the controllers will abandon the tower cab. an automated system is left to report the weather on its own. in a lot of cases it'll spit out bad data." "we see that as very problematic because the controllers are there to control the planes and they're already busy enough." they say the f-a-a has already tried this two years ago ... but backed out after 48 hours when they realized the data wasn't as thorough. "why they're trying it again is mind boggling." kattey

this data that they record and brad, you use this every day. tell us how.. brad ((ad lib)) kattey thanks brad. jack: one of those jack: one of those confirmed tornadoes hit knoxville. an ef-one on the ground for almost four miles with winds up to 110 miles per hour. iowa governor terry branstad toured the damage today and we tagged along with him. " nats sawing i've been chief of polce almost 11 years and its the most damage i've seen due to weather nats cracking wood my husband called me he had just gotten home and he had just walked into our door he heard the sound and looked out and our garage was gone nats watch out for nails you cant get very far back

our state. stephanie: the room was packed with 500 people-- some there to speak, some just to listen. everyone on the list got two minutes before the board, with a giant digital clock keeping time. some had concerns: environmental, land ownership. most comments were very passionate, one guy was even musical. " the vast majority of landowners affected by this support the project and have given voluntary easements to use the land. corporate power. rick perry. koch brohters. terry branstad. big oil. they win. we lose. people and planet loses. there are those that argue that jobs will be created by the pipeline for other temproary and will provide work until the project is complete. i think it's important to take a wider view. a two year project will yield thousands of high paying high skill jobs. pipeline pipeline just say no. dirty oil has got to go. " stephanie: now people

boone from all over the country today. some have monetary stakes in this project, but the vast majority said they were doing it for the sake of their fellow laborers, to support the jobs this project could create. ron kaminsky, omaha, ne: "it's about standing paying jobs, with benefits. this is a build this the right way with skilled tradesmen's. stephanie: now this decision is all in the hands of the iowa utilities board: these three people seen here. this was the only day that the comment on the them. on monday, the process continues with an evidentiary hearing. after member board can have a meeting to decision or they can just send out a written no time table for happen. jack: coming up... a leadership change to tell you about for the university of missouri. who's taking over now that the president was ousted? stephanie: then-- high school football playoffs under the dome. all the 8-man action, coming up in sports.
