here in cincinnati, ohio, the site of three fatalities. in fact, you can see just how powerful this tornado was. this one packing winds of about 140 miles an hour. how did all of this happen? we mentioned that warm air coming up from the gulf. it was just enough to mix with some very turning winds in the lower atmosphere, all coming together at just the right time, relatively low odds of that taking place, but all of it happened early this morning, again, producing 20 tornadoes, stretching across four states. 70 severe weather reports, as well. so the timing was certainly not good. a lot of people were sleeping, not even up on this holiday morning. also, kate, this will go down as the second deadliest tornado outbreak on new year's eve, ever. >> julie, can you give us a sense -- i know you're in cincinnati, arkansas, a very small town. how devastated is the town? >> reporter: well, about 14 homes are completely damaged or destroyed. in fact, just across from me, the site of those fatalities, an elderly couple in their mobile home were kill

we now know about 24 homes were destroyed here in cincinnati. i'm standing in what was the living room of one of those homes, a two-story house. you can see it's gone. in fact, most of this house ended up a couple hundred yards away. if you can see that tree behind me, there is furniture from this house in that tree. but even more amazing, there was a man who was in the bedroom where i'm standing. he was picked up by the storm, thrown something like a quarter of a mile away, landed and was injured but is going to be okay. an amazing story of survival. still, there is just devastation in this tiny town of just 100 people. flattened trees and snapped power poles marked the tornado's path. debris is scattered over two counties and at least 14 homes and businesses are damaged or destroyed. >> my whole house started shaking, the windows started busting out and then it was gone. >> reporter: an elderly couple was killed when their home collapsed, as was a 78-year-old neighbor who was in his barn milking cows. there were numerous injuries, some critica

so, let's say you had a story about the economic life in cincinnati. as opposed to the sex life of the cincinnati mayor. which story is going to get on the air? thank you very much. why? is that because the mayor's sex life is more important than the economic underpinning of the city? no. but it's because of what you all want to see and read and hear about. it all has to do with the relationship with the public. if the public is educated to the need for information about cincinnati's economy, it will demand it. and the people who run the networks will end up providing it. but if it is clear that the public would prefer something lower scale, believe me, you will get lots of lower scale. and you'll get it in spades. there was a murder here of a young woman about ten years ago. and that murder created a big deal because instantly a congressman from california was involved. cbs at that time made a command decision by dan rather who was the anchor. cbs is not going to cover the story about the murder of this young woman except the first day to mention it a

that dream is why someone who began by sweeping the floors of his father's cincinnati bar can preside as speaker of the house in the greatest nation on earth. that dream -- that american dream -- is what drove the allen brothers to reinvent their roofing company for a new era. it's what drove those students at forsyth tech to learn a new skill and work towards the future. and that dream is the story of a small business owner named brandon fisher. brandon started a company in berlin, pennsylvania that specializes in a new kind of drilling technology. one day last summer, he saw the news that halfway across the world, 33 men were trapped in a chilean mine, and no one knew how to save them. but brandon thought his company could help. and so he designed a rescue that would come to be known as plan b. his employees worked around the clock to manufacture the necessary drilling equipment. and brandon left for chile. along with others, he began drilling a 2,000 foot hole into the ground, working three or four days at a time with no sleep. thirty-seven days later, plan b succeeded, and the min
