we'll go now to meteorologist bill karins for an update on that. we were saying yesterday, we were going on the air, initial reports two people dead. unfortunately, that number has skyrocketed. >> we knew a tornado had gone through the major city. i think it was an ef-2 or ef-3. that rarely ever happens. so we had two fatalities, but what we learned was in a rural area, they had 18 people die in a two-mile stretch. and there were children that per you sha ished this their homes too. it was one of the worst tornadoes in tennessee's history. it was one thunderstorm that produced three or four tornadoes from one thunderstorm. it was incredible damage. it was very strong tornado. i think the winds were at least 165 miles per hour. so they are saying 77 people are missing. a lot of those people they survived and left the area, but they are still trying to find that many people so the death toll could go up. we have a severe weather threat today too. we have a watch over southern mississippi and alabama. so our storm system and our active weather in the

hearing and thinking about that more and more >> let's get our first check of the weather with bill karins >> good friday morning rough conditions overnight in areas of southern missouri and now kentucky and portions of indiana. we do have one tornado warning so keep an eye on that and with the flash flooding we've had a lot of rain overnight. southern indiana, you could experience some flash flooding this morning that rain will slide into the northeast. the severe weather threat will go away. 82 in washington, d.c. but look how cold it is back in the central plains and the northern plains some areas like fargo will be like 10, 13 degrees. so saturday is pretty quiet around the country but here comes our next storm once again in texas it seems like it rains every other da digits there's that warmth in the mid-atlant mid-atlantic >> typical march day with some areas hot and others frigid. >> and today is the first official day of spring >>> cashed before the crash. senators come under fire for dumping stocks before the coronavirus selloff. >> and for new masks to ventilators. the white hous

some talk of coronavirus in the way the graphs are looking and the numbers, we want to go now to bill karins. we want to level off that rise and curve that we've been seeing. >> and try and explain what's changed in the last two days. what happens was as soon as we found out the virus was community spread, that's when all of a sudden you started hearing about the cancellations. and the reason was all the scientists were telling them, we have to flatten this curve. that's the only thing that's going to stop the spread. right now, we're trying to prevent this exponential growth which will overwhelm the health system in a matter of days in our country and that's why everything is being canceled. we want to do this blue line. it will prolong, it may prolong it through the summer, but at least the health care system won't be prolonged. let me show you where we are. what we're trying to figure out now is where are we on this curve? these are the new cases by region. a march 12th, yesterday, we had 351 new cases. you can see where we were, the numbers, the daily growth. you can see how we're going

let's bring in meteorologist bill karins. as been tracking the numbers for us on the expansion and the rate of the coronavirus here in the u.s. z bill, what are the numbers looking like this morning? >> we went over a thousand last night. to put that into perspective, it only took five days for us to go from 250 case toes a thousand fatalities. and you can see there's no flattening of this curve whatsoever. we are still skyrocketing there on that right side. let's go to the total cases in the country. and now we've just about almost hit 69,000 cases. it was only on march 22nd that we were 25,000 cases. by the end of today, it is likely that we will probably pass china's number of cases and we likely could catch italy, too, and we could be the country with the most cases. coming first to update you, we have some weather concerns as we go throughout the day today and through this evening. not a lot of huge issues, but we are going to watch the chance of severe thunderstorms. we're watching areas of kansas and into missouri. larg

bill karins, thank you very much.ll talk to you in just a bit. >>> as the number of coronavirus cases ramps up, trump officials issue new warnings for residents. >>> plus, president trump said he wants the country back open by easter, but somehow officials are taking issues with this time line. we're back in a moment. and a "take care of your employees" company. we're a "help you ride the ups and downs of the market" company. and when it's time to retire, we're a "we've been guiding you toward this all along" company. think of us as all these companies, and more. principal. retirement. investments. insurance. alice loves the scent of gain so much, she wished there was a way to make it last longer. say hello to your fairy godmother alice. and long-lasting gain scent beads. part of the irresistible scent collection from gain! brushing only reaches 25% of your mouth. listerine® cleans virtually 100%. helping to prevent gum disease and bad breath. never settle for 25%. always go for 100. bring out the bold™ thwhich, if i'

therefore, you're going to have more cases. >> that's exactly what i was thinking as bill karins wass the graph of the united states earlier. you have all of these confirmed positive cases in pockets of the country, yet all of us know, because of the reporting you mentioned, that there are probably a lot more in those places than is being reported. let's talk about the school closures here. what are parents of school-aged scho children, what are they in for with schools closed across the country now? >> there was a run on d.c. craft stores over the weekend. kim hart is a parent of young kids, writes on axios that screen time limits have gone out the window. today, it's really going to hit home. bill was talking about the routine for his kids. the point that axios makes in this story is that even for privileged people who are able to have parents home full time, or able to have help, it is going to be a real hardship. you think about the parents who cannot work remotely, perhaps are single parents, impossible to manage. there are some coping strategies. play dates are suddenly out. so

we want to bring in bill karins.s we are seeing more testing, authorities have warned more testing means more positive cases. >> yeah. the press conference right now says don't look at the curve. they know how bad it is. the reason they're saying that is because right now we're on pace worse than where italy was. the numbers may be skewed a bit right now. they're saying next week they think it will level off. but you can see how it jumped up here this week. we're up to 14,139 cases. that is doubling every three days with that growth race of 35%. we're really fighting the math now. if we do three sex of doubling, in nine days from now, we would have 120,000 cases. that's how horrible the math gets here when you start to talk about every three days these numbers begin to double. so they don't want us to look at that curve. but this curve has nothing to do with testing 37 this is the fatality curve in our country right now. march 4th, we had 11 deaths. now we're up to 204 fatalities and growing. that's an implied growth

. >>> let's turn now and get your "first look" at your forecast with nbc meteorologist bill karins. the destruction there. >> incredible. >> we've seen this flyover image here. just incredible to see, unbelievable to think so many of these people were in their homes asleep, not knowing what was coming. >> the scale of devastation, also surprising to happen so quickly, bill. >> yeah, the tornadoes aren't fair. one side of the street can get crushed. the other side of the street can be just fine. >> wow, look at that. >> we know that children perished of the 24 dead. so, these people went to bed, tucking their kids in at night. like it was any other normal night. in the middle of the night, they heard the tornado sirens, hopefully, they had their weather radios and they ran to their shelters. sometimes, unfortunately, these storms so big and powerful, even if you're in a safe room -- >> not enough. >> a closet may not be enough. ef-3, winds in excess of 165 miles per hour. let me take you through the tornadic superstorm. all of the damage, 275 miles. 4 hours and 15 minutes' worth of t

let's switch gears now and talk to bill karins. this has to be an alarm bell. >> yeah.iously, we passed china and italy as the most cases. we are now the epicenter in the world. in the last seven days, we've gone from 250 fatalities to now approaching 1500. as far as the total number of cases go, we went from about five days ago 25,000 to over 85,000. it's not like everyone is like, woeb it's mostly new york city, it's not any more. we have 15 states that now have a thousand plus cases. we added tennessee and connecticut to that list yesterday. and bef nine states now that have 2,000 plus cases, including louisiana, washington has 3,000 cases, california has 000. new jersey is going to hit 7,000 early this morning and, of course, new york has 39,000. so obviously new york is still the huge number, but i mean, 15 states with a thousand plus cases. we are watching a rapid growth in many areas. we're going to have some severe weather problems. missouri, later on today, isolated tornados near kansas city. this is the beginning of a stormy weekend. a lot of people doing the

. >> let's switch gears, get your first look at the forecast with nbc meteorologist bill karins. >>>rning. once again, all eyes on the southeast, more rain, more chances of severe weather, including isolated tornadoes later on today. by the way, we found out yesterday that the tennessee tornado, the big one that killed 18 people in putnam county had 175 miles per hour winds. it was an ef 4, and one that went through nashville was on the ground for 50 miles. straight. which is very unusual. all right, so we're tracking storms once again this morning through alabama and also a lot of heavy rain from atlanta to may con. all of this mess will move out of the southeast today. but it's going to take a while. a slight risk of storms, 3 million people, this afternoon to early evening, southern georgia, anywhere from tallahassee to florida, isolated tornadoes are possible. we have 13 million people under flash flood watches. it doesn't look like this is going to be too bad. a lot of rivers are in flood stage. they're going to go up. highest rainfall totals 1 to 3 inches from georgia into area

. >> let's get bill karins in the mix here. >> what do you think the dominant theme is going to be inhe news? yesterday, the primary was swallowed up by the breaking news on the coronavirus. >> i think coronavirus will drive the news. >> and the markets as well. >> and we don't have a sense of exactly how big and widespread the coronavirus is spreading in this country. i still think until we get a sense from government officials how widespread it is, it's probably going to drive the news. >> also from what we're seeing, the number of coronavirus increasing during the hour. you're in the middle of the show, you start the show off with the anybody of coronavirus being one number, by the end of the hour -- >> now, with the new testing we'll get the numbers quicker and we'll see big jumps. it's not that cases have jumped up, we're just finally getting results. >> that's an important point you bring up that i've been told over and over, and ayman, you and i talked about this as well. the key is not to panic, that you're seeing more cases. it's just that we have more tests in circulation. >

let's switch gears, bring in msnbc meteorologist bill karins. >> i'm paying close attention, my nephew000 soldiers we have over there. let's get the boys and girls home. overnight flooding in areas of southern missouri, the springfield area, thunderstorms are moving out but we have flash flood warnings. st. louis area is okay. we're tracking rain as we head into the big super tuesday election. new rain is going to develop. don't have a lot of snow and ice problems on super tuesday. let's start with today first. this is 6:00 a.m. this morning. rain through cincinnati, indianapolis, we just showed you the rain through tennessee and northern portions of mississippi and alabama. we tracked that today and tonight into areas, weekends as it goes through the appalachians, we're going to get a good soaking rain in west virginia for your evening ride home. hit and miss showers and storms, areas from atlanta to birmingham to montgomery. super tuesday, as we wake up and the polls begin to open up, we're going to have rain in virginia, north carolina, alabama, and areas of west texas. those are al

with that, let's switch gierls and bring in bill karins. king at the numbers for us to see how that curve is going and whether or not we have had in the success trying to flatten it. good mortgagning, bill. >> yesterday was a brutal case. we added more cases than any day we have going back and we added more cases yesterday in our country than any other country out there with the exception of china in one day. more than italy had in their worst day. remember, flattening the curve. we want to avoid the area of red and overwhelming the health care system. in my county here, out of new york city, i have a friend that works in the er. when he got home, he said, bill, please help if you can. he's asking me, an er doctor in icu because he knows they are getting close to having to decide who goes on the ventilators and who doesn't. that is the point we're -- we're mentioned this in italy about 7 to 10 days ago. that's the direction that we're heading in and we're about to make those decisions in our country of who lives and who dies based on who get

bill karins, thank you very much.'re going to talk to you again in just a little bit. >>> still ahead, what governors from several hot spots are saying. plus, we go live to italy. we are back in a moment. e them h sensitivity as well as gum issues. does it worry me? absolutely. they are both very much hand in hand. so you should really be focusing on both and definitely at the same time. the new sensodyne sensitivity & gum gives us the dual action effect that really takes care of both our teeth sensitivity as well as our gum issues. by brushing with sensodyne sensitivity & gum at home it's giving you the relief that you need and the control that you need to take care of your oral health. and it creates a healthier environment. there's no question it's something that i would recommend. but when allergies and congestion strike, take allegra-d... a non-drowsy antihistamine plus a powerful decongestant. so you can always say "yes" to putting your true colors on display. say "yes" to allegra-d. tthe bad news? our so will t

let's get a check on your weather now with nbc meteorologist bill karins. we hearing anything out of nashville so far. >> we found new pictures in. if you were just joining us, a tornado hit downtown nashville overnight, it looked like it was a significant tornado. we already know of at least two fatalities, no reports of how many injuries yet, at least 30 to 40 structures have been significantly damaged. you could see some of the pictures here, a statement just in from jim cooper, representative jim cooper, what a devastating night in nashville, i'm praying for the victims and thankful for first responders, check on friends, family and neighbors, i'll just show you this image here. it's a little bit blurry. this is donaldson christian elementary school on the northeast corner of nashville, gone. the roof is gone. the structure is gone. that's the kind of scenes as we wake up this morning, and when the sun comes up, we're going to be showing you more pictures from this devastating tornado that hit downtown nashville, tennessee, overnight. they are one of th

. >>> for a first look at your weather, let's switch gears, bring in bill karins with a quick check. it's okay, danny. >> weekend's here, everyone. just about. one more day, we have to get past the storm up in the northeast. now, we are so close to this actually being like a big nor'easter, about 200 miles is what's going to separate a heavy big wet snow event and just an ocean storm, and it's just one of the winters that the timing hasn't been right for a big snowstorm. light snow this morning in indianapolis. the second piece coming off the north carolina coast. they are not going to merge until it gets too late. that's why we're going to be watching the storm system moving away from the northeast. so only minor effects. notice the snow map, pretty lame, only a little bit of snow, higher elevation of west virginia, may get a coating on the grassy surfaces, buffalo to rochester, elmira, harrisburg, not much, and even areas from providence down to cape cod, late tomorrow night into early tomorrow morning a little bit of snow. nothing crazy, a possibility of 50 miles per hour wind gus

damage to buildings in the area but no home damages have been reported >>> let's turn it over to bill karins tracking more storms for us >> dangerous morning with these storms rolling through texas a possibility of a tornado that went through the west side of abilene about an hour ago and still a tornado warning with it south of wichita falls and we'll pass north of dallas if it holds together that long heavy rain, flash flood warnings oklahoma city and tulsa. it's going to be a rough afternoon. we have blizzard conditions in portions of nebraska and portions of colorado 42 million people at risk. this area of orange from little rock through southern portions of illinois. we could see additional tornados later on this afternoon and how areas in nebraskorecast with 70s as far north as southern portions of iowa look at the cold air only 21 degrees in bismark rough storm for the middle of the country. >> all right bill, thank you. >>> last night the tonight show looked a little bit different as jimmy fallon worked from home. >> welcome, welcome. you are our very first guest to the home edition

and here to explain is nbc meteorologist bill karins. good morning. >> this is something we all can do and now it's something we are going to be doing with school closures increasing the week as we go throughout the country if we don't have these closures and continued life as it was, we would have had this area, this red curve. we would have shot up so quickly that the healthcare system would have been overwhelmed. hospitals would be overwhelmed so we are trying to flatten that we're going to try that way, we can get our hospitals and our doctors and nurses, given the room and hospitals and enough beds that they can treat the people that need to be treated we don't want to happen what's going on in italy where they are having to pick which patients to treat. we're this red x we have shot up recently about a 30 to 35% daily increase rate with the number of cases that matches what's going on in iran, germany, france, also south korea. so we're no different. that's pretty uniform. once it grips and gets hold in a country, how fast it shoot

meteorologist bill karins checking systems across th >> unfortunately dangerous weather today. tornadoes. thunderstorms mofgs through areas of oklahoma and also new north texas. we have potential of nash flooding overnight one flash flood between the abilene and dallas area. these storms will roll through in the next two to three hours, should be gone by the time we get to the peak of the morning rush hour but during the day this storm's going to regenerate more storms this afternoon enhanced risk of severe weather. they'll get to dallas later on tonight and we do have a chance of ice latered tornadoes eveareo that cold air will move in lind the storm later on tonight leading to our snow tomorrow that's a look at your forecast >> bill, thank you >>> in today's quick hits former california republican representative duncan hunter has been sentenced to 11 months in federal prison for corruption charges. hunter pleaded guilty in december to stealing his campaign funds for personal use. >>> tom brady is headed to florida. he has agreed to sign with the tampa bay buccaneers after ann

. >>> let's take a first look at your forecast with meteorologist bill karins. ions and then let's talk a little bit about the krus. >> discuss the science of the flattening of the curve. you're going to hear about a ton over the next week or two. but first, the weather continues with the dangers will weather will continue. today we could get a few tornados in areas of the southern ohio valley and areas of northern tennessee valley. right now, it's not much, just thunderstorms over the areas of kansas. watch out from memphis to paducah, the onner areas of concern, we have heavy rain into california and arizona. we'll watch for concerns of a flood watch. let's talk about the flattening of the curve. if we don't do all the social distancing, we go up the curve lite like this and at some point we overwhelm the health system. so the reason everything is being done is to help our doctors and nurses and give them a chance to treat people. in italy, you're hearing stories about they have to choose who they're treating because they went past this point. on so we're going

let's get a check on your weather now with nbc meteorologist bill karins. e, bill, you're going to receive an email. so i would say start packing now. >>> let's take a look at this forecast. it is going to be beautiful out there this morning. temperatures are exceptionally warm and above average. today, we're going to be almost up to 70 degrees. boston, 68. albany, 68. this is about 25 degrees warmer than it should be for this time of year. pittsburgh, 64. d.c. could be mid 70s this afternoon. so, yeah, leave the jacket at home today. tomorrow is still warm throughout many areas of the northeast and the ohio valley, but tlhere will be more clouds around. atlanta will be beautiful in the upper 60s. dallas is going to be 80 degrees by wednesday. the only troublesome weather we have out there today, light rain from kansas city through areas of missouri. watch out in chicago for light rain and travel delays later on today. as i mentioned, tomorrow some of this mess comes to the east. it dissipates a lot of it. for today's forecast, guys, this is as nice a march

let's bridge in meteorologist bill karins. . >> glad you're well. >> let's talk about this curve that you've been watching over the last couple of weeks. these guidelines, while gradual, while minimal, they are working. there is definitely good news and bad news. yesterday was the most deaths and most cases we've had, but the growth rate continues to come down. yesterday was the first time that we had over 20,000 new cases in the country and you can see as the bars go up there, you can see how fast we've been increasing. in the northeast, that has dropped a bit. that's now down to about 15% so it's not quite as high as it was. we're seeing the strongest growth in areas of the midwest. and what those percentages mean to everyone out there, that is how fast is growth rate is. we were doubling this number every two to three last last week and now we're down to doubling every four to five days. some of the numbers, though, are mind boggling. four weeks ago, we had nine deaths. three weeks ago we had 30. two weeks ago we had 110. la

. >> for your first look at your forecast, let's go to meteorologist bill karins. >> hi, bill. >> what yesterday. >> you want a repeat, huh? >> i will take that every night of the year. >> tonight i will tell you you do not leave in san diego. >> maybe i should move to san diego. yesterday was a san diego day in the northeast. >> it's actual san diego. >> my bad. >> so the rain is moving into areas of the east along with the clouds. it's not going to be beautiful like yesterday, but it still will be warm. this morning, the heaviest rains are in cincinnati. it's not going to pour all day. it's just a light rain event and a lot of the precipitation is going to be less than about a quartory a half an inch. we have primary day today. the weather looks decent in most of them. north dakota, mixed clouds and sun. in problems in missouri. gorgeous day for you. michigan had the rain yesterday and a little bit this morning so it's clearing out. there will be a few showers and storms in areas like mississippi. as far as the timing, i mentioned the early morning rain in areas like ohio and through

. >> let's turn to meteorologist bill karins. >> hi, everybody. looking at outdoor stuff this coming weekend. it is the warm season, people are complaining about the pollen in the southern half of the country, that's moving north. here we are this morning. there is a little snow left. winter in a few spots. green bay, it's snowing, milwaukee and northern michigan, thunderstorms from with the that, now spreading to southern missouri. that's where we could deal with isolated strong storms this morning. even the possibility of a few severe storms, maybe a tornado or two in areas of mississippi and also slide in through areas of arkansas. so, those storms are now here. they're going to slide to the south-southeast. little rock watch out. it's going to happen in the morning, late morning and afternoon in areas of mississippi. it's not your typical late afternoon or evening thunderstorm event. it's actually earlier today and right through the lunch hour. as far as the forecast goes as we go throughout much of the day today, we are going to watch warm co

. >>> let's turn now to bill karins who is looking at some of these coronavirus cases as they are tryingflatten that curve and hopefully that will happen sooner rather than later. >> and everyone was expecting this huge spike over the next week, and then they will see a flattening. if we flatten the curve over this dotted line, then we didn't do the job right. so where are we at now as far as the curve? here is where we're sitting. it's skyrocketing up. by the end of the day today, we should be around 13,000 to 15,000 cases. so the implied average is a growth of about 34%. so we're still doubling every three days. and here is where that takes us. ten days from now, 80,000. that's the machine of cases in china right now. they it will be interesting around here to see what the outcry is if all of a sudden we get up to this race where we have more cases than china does and we had a four to five-week head start to try to prepare. >> thank you, bill. thank you for watching that for us. >>> still ahead, the politics of the coronavirus. a new ad slams the president over his response to the pand

. >> as we have been trying to do every day, break down the numbers with bill karins. him in. he is joining us this morning from his home. bill, good to have you with us. always a pleasure to see you, my friend. let's talk a little bit about the numbers. they a they are continuing to rise. new york city with 4,000 new cases really making it almost half the population of patients in this country alone. >> yeah. and if you take the patients around southern connecticut, new jersey, southern new york, it is half of all the cases in the country. so let me show you that first on the graph. so we're going to wait and see. when are we going to flatten this thing out? you noticed at the top of the show, 35,000 cases. that's the number we're going to go past today. you can see the blue line still shooting up. so we haven't really flattened it yet. it was still kind of closed. we have to go at least a week of getting lower numbers to say, okay, now we have flattened this curve. you can see how rapidly we've gone up. it took nine days to go up from 100 to 1,000. it took about eight

with more on that, nbc meteorologist bill karins has a look at the detailed map. look at the distribution of those cases as we get it in, what we learned from italy, it's not fair. it doesn't spread evenly everywhere. in northern italy is the path of the whole country. this is how our distribution looks from johns hopkins university. the bigger the circle, the more cases. right now, 1,000 in washington state. that's a big circle there. 700 in california. then to other areas, a lot of states in the midwest, the states are still kind of small. one thing, right now, louisiana actually has more cases reported than texas. now, some of this could be because of the number of tests that are coming in and the lag in the numbers. these are things we're watching. 196 cases in louisiana. florida just passed 200. new jersey, 200. massachusetts right around 200. but this huge circle around new york city, that is what is alarming. right now, new york city is reporting 1700 cases. you want to put that in perspective, there's only nine countries, nine countries that have more case

we want to bring in bill karins right now.n the developments. >> we've been working on this map, too. the blue is the midwest. the red is the northeast. as far as our cousin goes, a lot of the cases are centered in washington state, new york state, and also as heth into other areas of the south. as far as new cases went 887 yesterday. we could get some severe weather over the next few days. and tomorrow, we could see tornados in areas of north texas. >>> the hard hit airline industry is seeking a government bailout over losses amid the dangerous crisis. the stories driving your business there, next. the stories driving your business there, next tendercrisp technology, you can cook foods that are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. the ninja foodi pressure cooker, the pressure cooker that crisps. you should be mad at tech that makes things worse. but you're not, because you have e*trade whose tech makes life easier by automatically adding technical patterns on charts and helping you understand what they mean. don't g

, i want to bring back to the conversation maya wiley, former counsel new york city mayor bill de blasio, karinesam seder. both of the candidates, senator bernie sanders and joe biden gave addresses although again in the strange, surreal world we find ourselves in, not the classic rally in front of a bunch of people. sanders gave an address focused almost exclusively on a coronavirus rescue package. biden too largely on that. take a listen to what they had to say. >> in the midst of this crisis, what i believe we must do is empower medicare to cover all medical bills during this emergency. now, this is not medicare for all. we can't pass that right now. but what this does say is that if you're uninsured, if you are underinsured, if you have high deductibles, if you have high co-payments, if you have out-of-pocket expenses, medicare will cover those expenses. >> it's moments like these we realize we need to put politics aside and work together as americans. the coronavirus doesn't care if you're a democrat or republican. it will not discriminate based on national origin, race, gender, or your zip

yesterday, bill karins showing pictures of beaches in florida, jammed with people. there are still so many americans that don't understand they are spreading the virus. they may not have any symptoms themselves, but they come in contact with their parents, with their grandparents, with their siblings, with loved ones who have a weakened resistance. they are, in effect, putting their lives in danger. >> yeah. you know, i had that foeeling o saturday night looking on twitter as i was going to bed, and seeing the bars across america. i won't point to one city, but across america, packed with people, side by side. largely young people, same with the pictures from florida, the overhead helicopter shots of the beaches packed with people. i think people weren't taking this seriously. perhaps yesterday the president's message to them will cause them to take it serious l as you said earlier. polling shows there is a large swath of the country told by the media that this was a hoax, it was being overblown, or people were overreacting to it. i hope the president's change in to

first, here is bill karins. >> this is one of the rare occasions in our history where a major city isville, tennessee. these are new pictures just in, just east of nashville area, you can see look at the homes, roofs are torn off, tree splintered halfway up, no tops to trees left. they looked like they were well built homes. hopefully all these people got to basements. there were six fatalities, two in nashville, three in areas 90 miles east of nashville, one 90 miles west of nashville. it wasn't just nashville area, but nashville was significantly hit by looks like an ef 3. here's the details. here is nashville and the tornado warning, they had ten minutes of warning before the tornado hit. the sirens were going off, at 1:00 a.m. in the morning, everyone running to basements. this is donaldson christian academy, elementary school. you can see the building, this is before and this is the picture that came out this morning. just seeing new pictures here, the school is almost completely gone. wiped away. a lot of this was a brick structure. this was a very strong tornado at certain port

joining me now, maya wiley, bill de blasio, karine jean-pierre, and sam seder.'s great to have you here virtually. sam, i saw reporter from "the new york times" saying fundamentally when it comes down to what happened to the sanders campaign, particularly in that trajectory between nevada, south carolina, super tuesday and now tonight, was that there's a theory of the politics of this of changing the electorate that fundamentally did not bear out, that he never made inroads with older voters particularly and he just kept making too big a share of the electorate. when you put that math together, you end up with the kind of margins you're seeing. >> yeah. i mean i think that may have been the case. but i think fundamentally the real answer in my mind to the election is that you see it in the exit polling when people are looking for a candidate almost -- 65% in many states were saying i'm just looking for the person who can win. i think for a long time, the electorate did not have an idea who could win. and i think when all of the candidates essentially that were r
