but cornett says that wasn't the end of their nightmare. >> kevin kinder got sentenced to 17 years. he only served six. he got released and when he got released, i followed him everywhere he went. >> some mothers are going to fight for their kids until the day they die. my mother is the one that's going to fight until she dies. >> she not only tracked kinder and reported his activities to the authorities. it led to his arrest of being in a stolen car and having pornography on his computer, a violation of his parole. this time he was sentenced to 60 years. >> kevin kinder taught me things about people, there are more sex offenders out there than him. >> cornett started two non-profits. one to counsel victims and the other to help put sex offenders in prison. >> i've had 21 sex offenders in the last couple years locked up. you know how many kids i saved? that's a lot. >> but flores says his mother's advocacy only deepened his wounds. >> it was something that happened to me that i never want anyone to know about. i wanted to forget about it. my mother wouldn't let it rest. i used to ha

. >>> joining me now is oklahoma city mayor mick cornett. mayor cornett, thanks for coming on the show tonight. >> good to be with you, al. just wish it was under different circumstances. >> and so do i. and we certainly, all of us, have our prayers for you and all of your constituents there. >> thank you. >> what can you tell us about the recovery right now just 24 hours later? >> well, it's a very awe inspiring situation here. i was able to tour the site this morning and then flew over it in a helicopter to get a look at it from the air. i can't explain to you just how devastating ground zero is. it's amazing that anyone walked out of that alive. piles of debris four feet high as far as you can see in any direction. children's toys. mattresses. cars standing on end. trees with the bark torn off of them. >> wow. >> yet, people survived over and over again. there's tremendous stories of courage out there. i want to thank the media for that advanced warning. that technology is wonderful, and it saved hundreds of lives in oklahoma city. >> are

. >> oklahoma city mayor mick cornett, i appreciate your time. thank you very much. >> you bet, rachel, thank you. >> i want to bring into the conversation now someone that's been helpful to us in the last 24 hours in terms of getting the word out about the response in the oklahoma city suburbs and in the state at large. it's the state's lieutenant governor todd lamb touring the disaster site on the ground to see extent of the damage and meet with survivors and local officials. i know he brought along his boots and work gloves in case he needed to pitch in even though he is the lieutenant governor. thank you very much for your time tonight, sir. it's good to have you with us. >> you're welcome, rachel. >> we spoke with you last night in the immediate aftermath of the storm when we were trying to get our heads around exactly what the disaster site would be like in terms of scale and seeing it on the ground today in daylight, what can you tell us about how things are looking and how this compares to previous disasters. >> rachel, it's horrific. abs

liz: this is nick cornett, the mayor of oklahoma city.e weeks to have to face this, mayor. tell us about the latest storm cell moving over the region? >> well, there are a number of what i would say relatively smaller tornadoes, different aspects of the state. everyone in the state is kind of keeping an eye on it today. these are not similar to what we endured last week or really four reasons. last week's storm was larger than usual. it was a slow-moving storm. in other words it was a churner. so it caused more damage. it also went into a heavily populated area, and it went into a school building during school hours. all four of those things are very unusual but all happened in one particular storm and, you saw the catastrophe that was created. these storms are -- david: one of the areas we were looking at, noted name cushing. of course a lot of oil flows through cushing. will there be any disturbance in the oil flow? >> that is something to keep in mind. i think especially for your network to keep in mind. there are tanks that are above-

will you do anything or the mayor, nick cornett, anyone do anything to make sure all the reasons businessesma remain so, taxes low, regulations low? >> absolutely. we're still in our legislative session right now. we continue to address that. we're certainly going to do that, that's top priority. we're 4.9%, lowest unemployment metro area in the united states. we want to stay there. david: roy williams, greater oklahoma city chamber ceo and president. roy, great to see you. my best of luck to your recovery. thank you very much for coming in. >> thank you. david: okay. liz, over to you. liz: wishing them well. >>> sony shares hit a two-year high on spin-off speculation. will the company take advice from one of its largest shareholders? we've got the latest. that's next. stay tuned. thank you orville and wilbur... ...amelia... neil and buzz: for teaching us that you can't create the future... and wi that: you're history. delta is looking beyond. 80 thousand of us investing billions... in everything from the best experiences below... to the finest comforts above. we're not simply saluting hist

mayor mick cornett, oklahoma city, neighboring friend. we appreciate him being here.bviously, we're very proud of the work he and his fema team have done. suzy pierce, superintendent of schools here, thank you for your leadership. amy simpson, i want to especially commend. plaza towers elementary school principal as well as shelly mcmillan of the briarwood elementary school principal. they were on the ground when this happened, and because of their quick response, their keeping a level head, their putting kids first, saved a lot of people. and they're still going through some tough times. you know, i can only imagine being their husbands who are here, and the panic that i'm sure they were feeling when the tornado first struck. but i know

. >> mick cornett, thank you for making time for me. understand you are a local legend because of your years of working in tv news. >> well, i don't know about that. >> that's what i'm hearing from on the ground here, sir. >> it's really appreciated. >> it's our privilege to be here and i have met some of the kindest people in your fair state. thank you again, sir. we have more ahead on the people and the companies who are feeling the need to show what they can do for the folks here in oklahoma, including kevin durant, he made a formidable donation. and then my one-on-one interview with local hometown hero toby keith coming up. >> my son-in-law went to plaza towers and dug people out before the first responders got there. turned his truck over getting in there, got electrocuted, run a nail through his foot, emts had to fix him up, he helped dig people out. how many simple ingredients does your dog food have? 30? 20? new purina one beyond has 9. the simplified purina one beyond. learn more about these wholesome ingredients at purinaone.c

. >> mick cornett, thank you for being on the air with us. i know you're eager to get back to your city. >> thank you, milissa. >> milissa, thank you so much. both milissa and the mayor talking about the fact that if this is an e-5, they have only seen that in 1999. today's track was 20 miles long and the tornado itself a mile wide. we're joined by todd and jennifer tabor who were evacuated from their home in moore, oklahoma, and cannot get back to their neighborhood. thank you for being with me. explain where you are in proximity to your house. what do you know about your home or your neighborhood? >> we don't know anything right now. they've got the road blocked off behind us. we are trying to get to whatever power lines that are down and gas fixed so we can get back into our neighborhood to see what damage there is and if we can help out in any way. >> jennifer, at what point or time did you and todd know that you needed to get out? was it based on tv reports? someone calling you? how did you know to get out in time? >> well, i was watchin

doesn't get any easier, especially with the loss of life and with that i'll turn it over to mayor cornettill answer questions in a little bit. thank you. >> first i want to commend the city of moore and the resources that they've put into this. this could easily have overwhelmed an ordinary group of public safety officials. and they have not only been ep to the task. but i think have performed valiantly and we're immediately on the scene. there are you know, a number of organizations that probably deserve some level of mention today. including the media. who technology provided excellent warnings and no doubt saved hundreds of lives. i was able to tour the site this morning and you know one of the take-aways that a person receives in that situation is that no one could possibly have survived this. and yet, we know they did we know people crawled out of that rubble. and we're talking levels of debris that's four foot high as far as you can see. we're talking about cars that are upside-down and school books and children's toys and trees without bark. this was the storm of storms. and the fa

. >> on the phone is nick cornette, mayor of oklahoma city. mr. mayor, appreciate you joining us.s your sense of how rescue operations are going right now? >> well, it's a very slow and tedious process, as you can imagine. right now we're trying to find people and trying to see who might not be accounted for and if they're not accounted for, where they might be. this is a process that will probably take us into tomorrow before we start to have the type of data people usually expect in large scale disasters like this. it's a horrific case. i tell you, anderson, what strikes me is we have had in not too distant memory a couple of large tornadoes in this area, but generally, these types of tornadoes hit during the evening hours or nighttime hours. what stands out to me is this one hit during the daytime when we had kids in school. that's something that we're having to deal with that we've never had to deal with before. >> in terms of the amount of time, we've heard that there was some warning, there were some precious minutes that the folks were able to try to get to a safe location

i actually -- i just got a text message from my very dear friend, mick cornette, the mayor of oklahoma city, desperately trying to get home from out of town. he's watching this unfold and he's not in his home. he's calling this just a really bad event. he was my co-anchor at the time back then. when we were covering this together. and neither of us can believe that this hit exactly the same spot. >> there's a local church, oak crest church of christ at 89th and western which has opened its doors as a refuge center. so any local people who are literally currently homeless will be able to get some respite if they go there. milissa, as we were saying earlier, terribly traumatic recollections of what happened the last time around. this is being described as an f-4 tornado with speeds of up to 260 miles per hour today. it was about a mile wide. it tore through those neighborhoods, that densely populated suburb of moore. and as i said, destroyed a post office, a theater, the warren theater, a bank, two schools. an entire trailer park. several trailer parks, according to local reports. comple
