>> we are so going to miss him. i don't know too many that can walk and fit the shoes jim vance was an awesome anchor man. >> that's what a few of you are saying about our leader, our light, our vance. as you can probably imagine, it has been a tough afternoon. it's been a tough weekend for us here at news 4. by now you know vance passed away on saturday. he was 75. >> all this afternoon we'll be sharing some of our favorite vance stories with you and you'll be sharing some of yours with us, as well. >> vance never liked to make a fuss about himself. he believed in covering the news and doing it first. we'll bring you more about vance in just a moment. we're going to cover the news now. >> all right. we've got some breaking news to cover right now. this in maryland, we learned just a matter of moments ago eastern shore over thiegt.

shows damage, possibly even weeks to clean up. the national weather service says it was an ef 2 tornado with winds of up to 125 miles an hour. >> we are working for you with team coverage tonight. amelia draper is in the storm team 4 weather center. >> we'll go to derrick ward who is in the middle of the destruction on the eastern shore. derrick, wow, from what i see behind you. >> reporter: tell me about it. you might get something like this. this was the wind's design. this happened in no time. they went from almost finished to almost recognizable just like that, from the storm that blew through here early this morning. take a look at some of the pictures we've got, a house demolished. the homeowner crawled out from under the rubble. the roof of that house was in the backyard. and this other house was lifted off its foundation and dropped back down a few feet askew. massive trees were snapped and other structures lifted up and dropped back down into the

woods. ask anybody here who was here in stevensville when this storm started this morning. they'll tell you it was a tornado and national weather service says, too. ef2. it was loud and damaging. >> i've never heard of a tornado before. i've heard description of distinctly sound it makes and it really did sound like a train, and stuff started hitting the window and all. >> now, you're getting a bird's eye view from chopper 4 high above us here. you can get a sense of how wide a path this tornado struck through this town and the damage we did. we're starting to see our utility crews come through here. lots of contractors helping folks, a lot of people are without power. this is by no means over. by the light of day you're getting a good look of the devastation. i can tell you, this community has come together and miraculously there was only one minor

but the recovery and the financial impact, well, that has yet to be seen and it's going to be a while before this place gets back to its normal self again. stevensonville on ken island, derrick ward, news 4, back to you. >> what is so frightening about this tornado it hit as so many people were sleeping. >> most dangerous time when it happens in the middle of night. amelia draper is in the storm center right now. explain what an ef-2 tornado really means. >> it means we're seeing maximum sustained winds of 125 miles an hour, you're seeing some damage like you were there in derrick's video. you have the house actually lifted off of the foundation and moved a little bit. take a look here, national weather service did issue a tornado warning for this storm center and mount holly confirming this afternoon that there was, in fact, ef-2 tornado. it's hard to believe how much damage it was done in four

1:33. now, on the eastern shore, haven't seen a tornado and about 15 years, pretty unusual, for the timing. i have the radar loop here from about 1 to 2:00 a.m. and you can see, i circled here, stevensville area, a lot of lightning, very heavy rain fall, and, of course, a tornado moving throughout that time. i'm tracking some isolated areas of rain some thunderstorms back to the west, what that means for our evening here coming up in a little bit. here at the live desk we're following breaking news in arlington. police are on the scene at a home on north quantico street. this just off lee highway, a few blocks of the high school and the elementary school. investigators tell us both of the victims are adults and there's no greater threat to the

breathe or move on his own. the window of opportunity to help him has passed. he is to be taken off life support this week. senior white house adviser told reporters he has done nothing wrong and he did not collude with russia during the election. kushner volunteered to be questioned by the senate intelligence committee today. he insisted his father-in-law won in september because he ran a better campaign than hillary clinton. now we get to talk about vance, icon, legend, true professional and original. >> since word spread, the out pouring of love and support and the memories that have been shared, the condolences that have been sent our way. it's been truly remarkable. >> it's been beautiful. the last couple of days have been tough for our news 4 family, of course for vance's family. and also for the dc community who has watched him deliver the news here on our station, since 1969. >> vance died on saturdayft

and while he's no longer with us physically, his legacy and his spirit and the memories we have of him will live on forever. >> we've got a lot of those memories to tell you about this evening. we'll start with prince georges county bureau chief tracee wilkins. she worked with vance a total 21 years, tracee. >> if you include when i was an intern and productive assistance, it's been a long time. i've got to tell you, i feel like the first time i met him and got to know him was here inside of my parents' house in prince georges county, growing up watching him on television. so when i joined the news 4 family and got to know him personally, i felt like i already knew him and today as we talk to people in prince georges county, we came across viewers who felt the same way. who felt like they knew vance after watching him for more than 40 years. they described him using words like cool, father figure, kind, funny, geus

they're already feeling after the news of his passing. >> it reminds me of when ed bradley passed and both jim and ed were two of my, you know, early favorites. >> it's sad. i'm going to let it stay there. i can get a little emotional behind that. >> very smooth guy. very smooth, very intelligent. very together. i watched him for years. >> i don't know too many that can walk and fit the shoes jim vance was an awesome anchor man. and much love. and, you know, he's going to a better place. >> everyone we spoke to had an immediate and emotional reaction today. there wasn't a pause. there wasn't someone who said, can you remind me of who you're talking abou

about jim vance and there was a lot of emotion and there was a lot of hugging. my camera man, jay and i teared up a couple of times when some of the people who we were talking to stopped to make sure that we were okay. that's how much we meant to this community and that's how much he meant to our news 4 family as well. tracee wilkins, back to you all in the studio. >> you're so right, it doesn't take people to feel like they want to express about jim. now, the washington nationals, they are honoring vance tonight. we learned today that there's going to be a moment of silence in his honor against the milwaukee brewers. if you want to be there for that, make sure you get there a little early. >> that was vance after he threw out the first pitch. >> that is so him. >> he practiced a lot for that. >> i'll bet -- >> as anyone would. >> pretty clear that vance had an impact on a lot of people, all across the dmv a

a chance to hear from some of the people you don't get to see, the people who are behind the scenes here, our behind the scenes family that works every day to get us on tv. >> because of that they know him and knew him better than any. pat collins in the newsroom right now. he's got his own memories of vance here as long-time colleagues. >> leon, jim vance had an office here at channel 4. he never used it. he preferred his desk here in the newsroom. there's his picture and there's his computer. but don't even try and ask him for the password because he was sort of a pen and paper kind of guy. you know, putting on a tv news show is a real team effort. it's not just something that we put in the commercials. it's the way it really works. and vance knew that better than anybody. he would come in to this newsroom, walk around and talk to the people.

they weren't just colleagues and friends, they were family. and tonight, we want you to hear from some of vance's tv family. on vance, chester, news 4 camera man, 35 years. >> you had to be on your game because it was just expected that you weren't going to coast through this shoot. if he was out in the field, it meant something special and you had to do a little extra to work that day. >> on vance, perkins brassard, news 4 editor, 19 years. >> he had a way that he would walk into my edit room and, you know, barely any script, but it was all in his head and he knew exactly what he wanted to say and how he wanted the piece to come out. but he always had this charisma.

manager, nbc 4, 30 years. >> he was just a real personal person, right. he knew everybody. and he knew you. you know, he still remembered my kids' names, right, that's the kind of guys he was. >> on vance, patricia, news 4 producer, seven years. >> vance treated everybody like family. i've only been here for seven years and there are people that have known him for decades and he treated everybody the same. he threw a party for our pa who got our first reporter job. and everybody there, parents were there, and it was somebody who had only been at the station a couple of years. and somebody who he mentored and he does it a lot. >> he was a presence in this market. he was like the dc

just expected to see him. you know, the fact that he's gone, there's a big hole there. it's like, wow. i mean, he's no longer here. that's really hard to grasp. >> jim vance, he was quite a story teller. he was a great writer, but he didn't write everything. what was it like to write for jim vance? well, we'll hear from some of those writers coming up at 5:00. >> i know, so many stories. >> we can go on and on and on and we will, lovingly. >> thanks, pat. we have so many more story it is to share with you this afternoon. in a few minutes, the voices on the local air waves will say they owe everything to vance and then the impact he made in the communities that you may not have heard of. >> and then later, vance in his own words one of the dearest women in his life. >> stay with us.
