more than 100 protesters were arrested after they entered a ymca there. oakland's mayor says there's no excuse for this behavior. >> it's time, i think, for the occupy movement to take a stand on whether this behavior, this kind of behavior that has nothing to do with the 99% movement, can -- should be tolerated. >> protesters say it's not over and plan to continue today with what they call a rise up festival at an area park. >>> on the east coast, washington, d.c., an occupy protesters have been warned to stop camping in two parks near the white house or they could be arrested. athena jones joins us from one of the parks, mcpherson square. when are they going to start moving people out of that area? >> that's the thing, fredricka, according to the national park service they put up this release on friday to indicate some of the violations the demonstrators here, the rules they've been breaking since early october when they set up tam camp here. know around noon park police will come in and if camping violations are observed, don't have a right to camp her

at the ymca, they had tornado damage, it was considered extensive.they were people in the ymca, they took cover and got out with their lives. there was several other instances where people were reported in them and they took cover. that is key. there were tornado warnings issued in the area. the storms move to the east, and this cell developed behind where most of that rainfall was. so typically you see a messier look to the tornado. here it is, right here. this is where we saw the outbreak of power outages and injuries are reported, so the severe threat is for the most part over tonight, but the damage is not done. they will survey it tomorrow. it will tell us how powerful the tornado was. back to you. >> thanks very much, karen. meantime, people living in the western u.s. are experiencing a long-term megadrought, take a look at the new images of lake meade that straddles nevada and arizona, this reservoir supplies water for millions people. and now so low that one of the original water intake valves is exposed for the first time. we have more. >> i

the rest are newer members, but the crowd now will be doing ymca. but one thing i'm struck by caitlin is at the very beginning, the president talked about his popular vote win, and that is something that is so different from eight years ago when he arrived in washington. exactly. >> i mean, all of washington is so different than eight years ago. and he was reflective of his legacy at the beginning of this speech, saying, what will people think of what he did 30 to 40 years from now? and then he went through a lot of what he promised to do, but also a little bit of what we knew, starting with the executive orders tomorrow. >> he said that he has so many to sign, and staff urged him to actually spread them out and not do them all tomorrow. >> he said that he said, to hell with that. and we know those executive orders will be on tiktok, which he referenced there during this, but also on energy and drilling and rolling back a lot of what president biden has been putting into place in his final days in office. and also just listening to what he said abou

there were people in that ymca they knew the tornado was coming. there were tornado warnings.ook cover. there were injuries but survived. that happened several places that we know of around and over. the police say the danger is still there. because of all the damage, the roads are blocked. no power to report there as well. the worst of the danger is over. we're seeing some of the storms moving further to the east. from iowa and missouri, arkansas and oklahoma. it looks like the threat for tornadoic activity has minimized. still high winds, hail, and could be local flooding. this is the video that you'll be talking about as you go into saturday. because it is remarkable. this is from a woman in and over. and kept her whits about her. even though this looks relatively close. it's a block or so away. she's talking. no expletives. that's good. the damage to 50 to 100 residences. there were injuries and send out the national weather service survey team and assess just how strong this tornado was. what is ironic is that almost 31 years to the day, and over was struck by an f 5 torn

ymca and the ywca a bad name in their testimony. but they said it's normal behavior, and doesn't necessarily indicate that anything wrong is being done. they did say, though, that if somebody hugged somebody else in a shower, that would be inappropriate. and of course that's one of the claims made against jerry sandusky. >> but none of these people who testified on jerry sandusky's behalf really were around him recently. >> no. they haven't been. and they're character witnesses. and you see this in criminal trials frequently, where, you know, you put somebody on the stand who says, well, gee, he's got a great reputation in the community. he is a good person. but ultimately, this testimony really goes very -- it doesn't get you much distance with the jury because the jurors say well, they weren't around when these events happened. they weren't in the shower room or the locker room. so i don't think that character testimony gets you too far in a criminal case. >> ok. so prosecutors. they want the unaired portion of nbc's exclusive int

and finally for parents of the younger children, finally the american camp association and the ymca of the united states rolling out guidelines for summer camp should they proceed with opening including sleep-away camps that they're staying that the staff would have to be dedicated to each cabin. also restrictive access to the cabins to only the people or children who are staying there. sleeping areas would have to be modified, sleepers would be position in a head to toe configuration and vice versa and some physical barriers that would have to be put in place but ultimately what you're hearing is regulating body are three key pieces of guidance here is which is the facilities need to ask themselves, should they be reopening and are there proper measures in place and measures in place to monitor those numbers should they be forced to close up again. so what you're seeing are various changes, yes, after the phase one is completed in some states, there are still guidelines that not only universities but summer camps should follow. >> paulo, thank you. >>> still ahead for us, the origins

>> the whole model here, he says, is the ymca.slamic community needs something like that. why not, he argues, right near the world trade center site. of course, some families of 9/11 victims and many other new yorkers have expressed tremendous opposition to this. they feel it's a stab in the heart. of the politicians here, mayor bloomberg, there had been almost unanimous support among city politicians, at least in new york city, and the politicians outside of new york city, they have been opposed. >> and is this where it ends for the opponents? i mean, their voices have certainly been heard. >> i doubt that. they certainly can continue to protest, and even when the demolition occurs, the construction, whatever, the protests may continue for years. i mean, this project is really just at the beginning stage, and the developers tell me that they have one mock-up, but that is not the final plan. they have not selected an architect yet, they haven't raised all of the funds. so it's still in the beginning stage here. >> all right. allan

the ymca. now, i want to drill down, how did this all happen? and this is based on information that we've received from members of congress who were actually there. one of the representatives, mo brooks, saying that he was on deck. he was standing right here around home base when he heard what was a loud bang and said that it came from right around here, the dugout right by third base. when he heard it, he ran away in the opposite direction, running towards this section here where he said there is a bit of netting. and this is where he went for cover. so you see, it's not much protection here. there's a little bit of netting. this is what is used for batting practice. after that, he said there was a pause in the shots. he stopped hearing gunshots. he took that moment to run towards the first base dugout and that's where he hid out. there were many people, multiple people hiding in the dugout here. and i want to give you a better look at what we're talking about. this is why it's the ideal place
