the joplin globe newspaper is reporting that the tornado sirens are going off in joplin right this minuteindication that a tornado is on the ground or that it is imminent that it is about to hit joplin but tornado sirens are going off now. so if you are in any of the affected area the best move is to go to the locaz station and certainly national weather service radio and nws tweets by twitter for the latest information in the local areas. from our vantage point mere a thousand miles away it just looks so widespread that it will be a hard time and going to take awhile to get a handle on exactly what happened. this from medical facilitiesyuw saying they are preparing for a major flood of patients. "we are gearing up to start receiving patients" said is spokesperson brooke cayotte. sent a code yellow which means an in flux of patient patientss expected. our belief that the worst of the damage is most likely to the west of oklahoma city in area not quite as heavily populated. the tornado first camexfrom the sky 30 miles west of the city and began tracking east. generally, though not exactly

joplin, missouri, also on the map tonight. and getting its share of bad weather. meteorologist kelly cass among those watching all of this with us from the comfort and safety of weather channel headquarters in atlanta. kelly, the system continues to fire up. >> it's affecting at least 50 million people, brian. this is a terrible situation for oklahoma city where the tornado emergency is still in effect. people need to seek cover right now. moore is included in this tornado warning. notice how the northern parts of oklahoma city taken out of the warning. now we are tracking a possible tornado moving directly into moore, oklahoma, and down toward the norman, oklahoma, area as well. again, this is a dangerous situation. there is moore right there included in that tornado warning. they had to close down a stretch of i-35, by the way. there were reports of cars being stranded there unfortunately. hopefully they were able to get to safety because this storm is moving in that direction up i-35. the national weather service, the storm prediction center doesn't do this oft

the green up to 2 to 4 inches, and 4 to 6 and even more. 8 plus in the red just north of jopl joplin. a lot of places picking up 8, 9 inches in missouri. it was fast. eagle pass, texas, that's where there were big issues going into the weekend, 17, that's almost as much as they get in a year. >> oh, they got the boat out. ancht flash flood engine across the midwest. water surging through yards. near springfield, missouri, it nearly swallowed this suv. a soccer field no more after 9 inches of rain fell in just five hours. with the floods, severe storms, winds up to 70 miles per hour knocking out power to hundreds of homes. >> look at that, that is just so crazy. >> while roads became a drenched battle ground for drivers in kansas city, children in joplin tubing down the streets. in wyoming and colorado, hail pounded the pavement, visibility nearly zero. and in south texas, officers were waist and even chest-deep in water. at least 9 water rescues and 300 people in shelters in eagle pass as the rio grand bled into the streets, drowning at city park and the golf course. this man saving n

not something came about there is some warning language after joplin.t destructive but those pds watches they've been doing them. >> we'll check back with you of course. >> important to get terminology right. but we want to talk about what is going on with the storm. as you know, when these hit a lot of storm chasers get out there. there are calling these storms around. you might be thinking what is going on in their minds. greg johnson is a storm chaser following the storms as they touched down. this was a crazy exkbreerns for you today. >> this is very, very difficult from a norm experience for me, anyway this, is the first time i've ever felt any life was in jeopardy. >> what happened? >> well, you know we're caught in a situation widely reported about the traffic on the road. and we're in a situation where we're trapped due to traffic. and temperatures passed overhead n a farm yard to the right side flew in front of us over our head and much hit our vehicle. we had to put night the ditch just so what it will lift it off the ground. >> when that torn

they were the three most prevalent examples. >> you said janice joplin. did she hit on you?> yeah, yeah. we were good friends, party animals. >> what do you mean by that? >> i remember getting on stage with her one time in l.a. that was a big mistake. i ended up lying on the floor and she stood on top of me with her high heels shoes and she kept on singing, me pinned to the floor. she had real power. real power back then in her voic voice. >> sometimes at big award shows, people will get on stage with a patti labelle or barbara try sand. they look frightened to death to be seen with those people. is that because of the power they have? >> i had to get over that because i was singing the top of the bill with lewis and we had the biggest selling in the world at the time. there's this thing with artists. their benevolence is compare. chuck berry took me out to dinner and told me, you know, like keep your wallet in your pocket with just a couple dollars in and keep your main stash in your socks and don't let drugs do to you what it did to me. i was like, wow, so cool. they gave

we recently in the joplin tornados and also tuscaloosa tornados we brought in dod equipment to replace what was destroyed. from the fire side i know there's a lot of things you are doing to work around the interoperatability issues with regard to communications between fire and dod and maybe if ray or anybody else wants to speak to that. >> our communications challenges still exist. we have excellent telecom communications, we have a layered effect of our radio systems. we have mobile command posts that we can exercise. so we're prepared for power outages, reduction of telecoms, we have a layered effect for our communications. but as everybody here said, we need help. if somebody here can help me get a navy or marine corps aircraft to talk to my guys on the ground tactically, i need that and i don't have that today. i use a command control helicopter, a civilian helicopter, to handle that and transfer that to an air to air victor frequency. but from a command control perspective, we're fairly robust. are we perfect, no, but we do have layered defenses against that. >> miss yeager, i do

and then this tornado warning that we have across southwestern missouri to the southwest of joplin, west of branson. and two tornado watches with these cells here to the south of interstate 40 and now moving to the east of the eufaula reservoir. and then these storms around oklahoma city are just severe. very heavy rainfall with this. we have had very heavy rainfall the last few days with the storms firing in the same spot each day. because of that flashflooding is going o. anywhere you see this maroon color, oklahoma city and north eastern oklahoma and a big swath across missouri and illinois, we have flashflooding. some areas have seen 5 inches of rain. some have seen over 12 inches in the last couple of days. tomorrow, the threat moves farther to the east, not as significant but still with us. much of texas still in towards southeastern oklahoma and the mid-mississippi river valley and ohio valley and the great lakes, a very big area. sunday, it pulls to the east, but it's all the big cities and the big population zone in the mid-atlantic for your day on sunday. >> that's a major conc

oklahoma city, joplin, missouri, moore, oklahoma, and st. louis, missouri. it is an incredible line of violent weather. oklahoma city has taken up most of the attention because they had an outbreak, a cluster of tornadoes in that metropolitan area. earlier tonight, the interstates were clogged with traffic. all you could see was headlights trying to get to their destination before the storms rolled in. state police were taking people off the interstates because they were sitting ducks. our own mike bet es with the weather channel, our meteorologist, finished a report for "nightly news" on the east coast, got in their tornado hunt vehicle, a and it was thrown 200 yards. the air bags deployed. they were cut up a little bit, bruised up, they were going to seek treatment at an emergency room tonight, but we're happy to report they all made it out of there. we have had, as we said, a cluster tornado outbreak throughout the midwest. it will be morning before we get a lot of damage reports. we have debris and torn-up towns and parts of cities across several states.

you go to india or you go to the united states, go up to the dakotas, you go to missouri, you go to joplin, what you find is that people are more resilient than we give them credit for being. people will will come out in their community and help themselves given the opportunity. now, again, back to the politics. being a heavily kurdish region, they don't have the greatest relationship with istanbul, they don't have the greatest relationship with the turkish government. it's a completely different world. it's completely opposite. when their armed forces show up, it's not really lacked upon as a good thin. this is why i want to say thank you to our military that's here today, to the army, the navy, the military in general, the marines, the coast guard, even i saw a couple air force running around here yesterday. the fact that you are here and you are in san francisco and

. >> we're hearing that there may be tornado warnings in joplin, missouri as well. have you heard that? >> well, the way i understand it, i think you're correct, it's moved on past us. we're about 30 miles west of oklahoma city and it's east of us. i think last we heard, it was in the shawnee area going towards tulsa and joplin area. >> what we don't have any reports of yet are injuries or even potentially fat jafataliti. can you tell me anything about that? >> there is so much chatter going on, a lot of people responding to different things. here, we had some minor damage out by the airport and we are assessing some damage, how serious it is. in other communities as far as south of us, we can't confirm anything. everybody is trying to assess, trying to get through. i think the main thing is now the potential flooding. we've got an awful lot of rain here in this area in a short amount of time, and i urge people to stay in. the flood waters rise so quickly and they're really more dangerous, it's been proven, than the tornado activity. >> the state trooper i talked to

and the joplin tornado that killed 158 in 2011 was only 3/4 of a mile wide. >> the most powerful tornadoes with winds over 200 miles an hour, are called ef-5s. friday's in oklahoma was just the 60th ef-5 since 1950. remarkably, oklahoma had two in just 11 days. powerful numbers producing deadly results. reminding us again those weather alerts are real. david kerley, abc news, washington. >>> and one more note about the extreme weather tonight. there are rising waters shutting down big parts of america's heartland along the mississippi river. the flooding so high, a bridge connecting west alton, missouri, and alton, illinois, had to be closed today. a factory proclaiming "welcome to alton" surrounded by water, cut off from the rest of the town. and these are the major flooding concerns for the next 36 hours in places from memphis to chicago. we also have a note about that tropical system in the gulf of mexico. it's moving toward florida and could become a tropical storm by the end of the week. >>> now to a political firestorm from the governor of mississippi today who said he thinks america

storms are forecast for tonight and into the weekend with the greatest risks here in oklahoma and in joplin, missouri. maurice, a tornado there killed 158 people in 2011. >> dubois: susan mcginnis, thank you very much tonight. david bernard is chief meteorologist at cbs 4 in miami and our cbs news weather consultant. so, david, what's the situation now and what are we looking at for the weekend? >> unfortunately, we have those tornado watches in some of the same places we've had them from the last couple of nights. most of them right now are located in oklahoma, also into southeastern kansas and a good chunk of southwestern and central missouri. numerous severe thunderstorms ongoing right now. also severe thunderstorm watch covering eastern minnesota and central portion of wisconsin. looking ahead to tomorrow we have a wide area of potential severe weather extending from central and north texas right through the missouri river valley into the midwest, as far north as michigan and extending as far east it looks like as portions of ohio. >> dubois: david we talked about reports of 47 tornadoe

and the ingredients were in place around joplin.r was coming out from the rockies and there's interaction over the region and very few places on the planet have this sort of a setup, and only one place can produce this many tornados and that would be bangladesh. very few sort of places see this weather pattern and oklahoma city seems to be in the heart of it and we have heavy rainfall over i-40. nothing severe, no winds over 60 miles per hour. the thunderstorms blossomed out of nowhere from 6:00 in the afternoon, and hardly any cloud cover, and then the storm is going in from just scattered fair weather clouds up to 60,000 feet in height in some of the thunderstorms. at this hour, we are not seeing any rotation as the heat builds, we know where the coolest part of the morning is, and when the heat builds, we will see more weather. generally speaking, the worst of the storm system is all but over and now we're just looking at floods being a major concern. >> thank you. as you said, the storms spawning the tornadoses is bringing heavy

in fact mike was one of the first people on the scene of the joplin tornado years ago. he has a dog from that storm named joplin that he brought home from the storm as a rescue dog. mike's a good man. and he got shaken up by this very difficult storm. >> of course you guys are meteorologists. you do it in the name of science. but if you go online, chad, there are a number of companies who actually invite people to go storm chasing with them for a price. >> reporter: yes. >> i was stunned because it's not something people should do. >> reporter: it's not something you should do near a major metropolitan area. we chased tuesday, wednesday, thursday and we were miles -- in western oklahoma, you can see 50 miles down the road. you can see them coming. they're dry out there. there is not as much rain. they don't wrap in rain like they do lear. plus all of a sudden you have an interstate with cars that are stopping. stoplights. you can't chase through a city. we see the vans they lit literally are vans that drive down the highway with 10 or 15 people taking pictures out the w

. >> when you see other weather-related disasters, most recently oklahoma and going back to joplin andcanes, tornados, hurricane sandy here on the east coast, do you think that america as a result of what happened with katrina and all the controversy that came out, has america got better at dealing with the immediate aftermath of these things? >> the america i know is the america that showed up to help us build 80 houses for our musicians village. that's the america i know. frankly, the only one i really care about. i think america is the greatest country in the world. i think our people are the strongest people in the world, and whether it's katrina or new town or anything, that's what that song is about. love wins. bring it on, piers. bring on the tragedies. you know, not -- >> i know -- >> not literally. >> we know how to deal. >> we can handle it. i don't know if the storms that happened after katrina were handled better as a result of some of the things that maybe weren't handled -- >> seems to me they were. i look at the way president obama's administration dealt with these and s

part two coming up when he talks about losing friends such as jimi hendrix and janis joplin. >>> we havethat next. >>> so we've been showing you all the pictures. you've seen it, the pictures after a tornado. one house is destroyed, then the next is virtually untouched. we went looking for answers as to why that happens. >> reporter: so just across the street from this severely damaged home, we noticed something in this wheat field that caught our attention, we want to take a closer look at it. there was this flattened trail. trying to explain why it looked like this. what are we looking at here? >> right here is the path of a suction vortex. you have a multiple vortex tornado. you have the main cone. just below that, you get these miniature tornados that will spin underneath. the big mystery of tornado science is how strong the wind speeds get. but they're the reason why one house will sustain severe damage, whereas the one next door will almost look untouched. >> so we're not even 100 yards away from this house that was completely flattened, next to some other houses that were severely

136 to 165 mile-per-hour winds and ef-5 is what we found not only in joplin, missouri two years ago, but in moore, oklahoma about two weeks ago. that damage is just catastrophic. so ef 3, severe damage is what we're seeing in and around the el reno area in oklahoma. and ef-5 is incredible damage that can just wipe foundations off the map of the let's look at the radar. we have the potential for not only severe weather today, but the threat for flooding. that is imminent right now in and around oklahoma, up toward missouri, illinois, indiana, all of these states under flash flood watches and warnings. where you see the maroons, we're seeing flooding and streams and rivers past their flood stage. six to 12 inches of rain in an hour is potentially deadly. people are asking to stay off the roads. the severe threat extending from the great lakes down through the big bend of texas, and that's going to continue to move eastward. sunday we are going to be talking about the threat for severe weather across the northeast. heavily populated areas where we could see isolated tornadoes. so we wil

better prepare for them in the future in recent years we've seen mile wide tornadoes level cities like joplin missouri in moore oklahoma highlighting the growing the of science to better explain how tornadoes are formed and how we can forecast them faster but some are skeptical about whether technology for example here was alex jones riffing on what may have caused the oklahoma city twisters a few weeks back. they can with the right weather conditions they can create in. groups of tornadoes the question is where helicopters because they use those up close and small fixed wing aircraft sheen in around the weather patterns like light like good people. fifty miles out as the storm systems are they see aircraft in around the clouds spraying and doing things you saw that the better bet your bottom dollar they did this your bottom dollar alex jones sees the government conspiring to use technology to create storms to devastate american farmlands or for population control or for insert paranoid delusion here but others people who have the screws in their brain sufficiently tightened see technology as

and the joplin tornado that killed 158 in 2011 was 3/4 of a mile wide. the most powerful tornados with wind over 200 miles an hour are called ef-5s. friday's in oklahoma was the 60th ef-5 since 1950. remarkably, oklahoma had two in just 11 days. powerful numbers producing deadly results. reminding us again, those weather alerts are real. david kerley, abc news, washington. >> all right. a look at your wednesday weather -- drenching rain from a tropical cyst temperatusystem. showers in the midwest and ohio valley. high fire danger in the southwest. >> 70s and 80s in the rockies and pacific northwest. 60s from fargo to the twin cities. 70s from the central plains to the northeast. mostly 80s across the south. >> in philadelphia, this morning, john mayberry jr. is toast of the town. >> before we get to the video. mayberry kept the phillies alive last night against the marlins. hitting a game tying home run in bottom of the tenth inning. then this happened. >> mayberry up again in the 11th. bases loaded. with one swing wins the entire game. thanks to that wa

obviously joplin was hit, everybody is aware of that. this is an area that deals with tornadoes on a regular basis. >> what's next for your city as far as assessing damage and finding people that might need help? >> well, at this point we have every available trooper in st. louis area out, a lot of the damage that happened, happened in municipalities and cities with their own law enforcement agencies. so we offer assistance to all of the different agencies. we have some areas on the interstate that we're concerned with at this point, with vehicles possibly being overturned. right now, this just hit not too long ago, so this is pretty fresh. we are still trying to get out and assess the damage, it is raining out, obviously nighttime here. it is going to take awhile to figure everything out, get out there, make sure everybody is okay. >> stay with me a second, want to tell people what we are seeing. seeing pictures from oklahoma earlier, you can see multiple funnel clouds and eventually tornadoes, three at least in this picture alone. al,

when we had the tuscaloosa, birmingham and joplin, we had 262 and that was a big deal and hadn't had that many fatalities in a long time and 43 so far this year. i would say that is pretty close to average and maybe slightly above average and not close to being in the top five as we go throughout 1974. as far as the actual number of tornadoes go, every may, we average somewhere about 250. we have actually only had 207 so far preliminary count as of may. so it's actually, joe, been a below average year and it doesn't matter how much you have. it matters how strong and if they hit. the one we talked about friday was in rural areas. if that had gone through downtown, oklahoma city, we would be talking about another joplin. >> bill karins, thank you so much. >>> after weeks of scandals and controversy, attorney general eric holder is facing a growing chorus of calls for his resignation. while the white house is publicly sticking by holder peter baker reports in "the new york times" there are people in the west wing privatelily telling associates they wish he would step down. there is als

the folks here say that they plan on speaking with officials in joplin, missouri because they want toally good advice so when they do rebuild, they do it the right way and they do it in such a way that if and when a tornado rips through here again, the school is secure. back to you. >> all right. rene marsh live for us in oklahoma, thank you. >>> more details now on those three storm chasers who died. one of them was 55-year-old tim samaras. the star of "storm chasers." his son and a colleague were also killed. the three chased storms hoping to warn people ahead of the tornadoes. the samaras family said he the three -- said the three died doing what they love. and three people from the bay area flew there to help out and joined seven other people from the bay area who were already there volunteering. >>> we're continuing to following news in oakland where two women and a security guard have been shot outside of a nightclub at 1:00 outside of the shadow ultralounge, four blocks from city hall. witnesses say the shots were fired after a confrontation inside the club. the victims were ru

they are actually speaking with officials from joplin, missouri, to figure out the best way to rebuildand when another tornado blows through here, this structure is safe. wolf? >> renee, thank you. >>> colleagues, meanwhile, are trying to figure out exactly how storm chasers who are used to dodging twisters were killed this time in oklahoma. crews found the wreckage of three storm chasers truck, it was crushed like a tin can, twisted beyond recognition. chad myers is in el reno, oklahoma, right now where the three men died. what a sad story this is. what do we know, chad, because i know you've been investigating. >> reporter: we know that the storm made an erratic left turn after it developed into a very big ef-3, and i don't mean a big ef-3, because it isn't a 4 or 5, a wide ef-3. i believe that it was almost a mile wide of that wind circulating around and these men were caught in that circulation for some reason. we still don't know quite yet, but a lot of experts i talked to say at least some storm chasing is out of control. >> as you're watching mother nature at work and all the as

louis area got hammered too along with springfield and joplin. a lot of damage by st. charles. now, this morning we're still dealing with heavy rain, flash flooding threat right around arkansas and little rock we had a strong thunderstorm but the tornado threat is much lower today. i'm expecting very few tornados and i don't think we'll see any strong violent tornados, but if you're in the areas of yellow including dallas, memphis, little rock, shreveport, nashville, louisville, lexington, all the way up through the state of ohio, you are at risk of strong storms today with damaging winds, hail, and of course lightning can be a killer too. otherwise the east coast is fine and the west coast is fine, melissa. this was like a six-day tornado outbreak and it looks like it has finally come to an end. everyone in the midwest can finally try to enjoy their afternoon without worrying about tornados. >> bill, thank you so much. last night was just riveting and at least it wasn't any worse. >> it could have been. >> but last night it just -- it was really awful, so thank you so much. >>

joplin, missouri, which was wiped out by a horrible tornado kill your years ago, they had to rebuildtwo years ago, they had to rebuild their hospital, putting in new windows that cost more, but that will enable the hospital in the future to withstand severe tornadoes. panamaatricia is in city, florida, on our democrat line. seek help during sandy hook when they started -- caller: during sandy hook, when they started arguing about $9 billion -- that was insurance everybody had paid, flood insurance. i thought that was appalling. i have been paying flood insurance for years. host: this was after hurricane sandy? guest: the caller is correct. i do not mean to be partisan, but the vast majority of republicans refused to grant $9 billion to replenish the flood insurance for graham fund -- program fund that had to be spent in the wake of superstorm sandy. eventually that was passed. many more balked at the $50 million invested for relief and recovery. for the first time, some republican senators wanted to cut spending for other programs in order to help clean up after sandy. in other words

we're talking about, i have seen it, a joplin, missouri, at tuscaloosa, at more oklahoma, a 2 billion, 3 billion and 5 billion. those of the numbers and we simply are not addressing them. what has happened over the time unfortunately is attrition of wind engineering faculty, a structural engineering faculty no longer study how to make houses stronger. there onto commercial structures and these are the areas where we have the most damage or the most dollars but lost or lives affected. >> i agree certainly with everything that dr. prevatt has said but if there were more many in the program says there really hasn't been we have identified in a broadway the areas we think we need to progress. and understanding the events themselves and different issues in terms of understanding tornadoes and hurricanes but it starts with the meteorology of that and second to understanding connections with those events we do some of that at the research center but more could be done through enhanced funding but we recreate the nature and we see how nature reacts to the environment to small homes and busine

capital, the great american city of new orleans submerged under water, unimaginable devastation in joplini, and now entire nabbeds in oklahoma flattened to -- and now entire neighborhoods in oklahoma flattened to the ground. there hasn't been a record number of zasters in the united states over the last two years, and 2011 was the deadliest year on record for tornadoes with over 550 fatalities. while we cannot stop a hurricane or a tornado from happening, we should do all that we can to make sure our communities have the tools they need to respond and recover from such an event. we as a nation must invest in preparedness and resilience. study of fema's programs have shown that for every dollar we invest in mitigation activities, we save $3 to $4 in recovery costs. nwirp has the potential to dramatically bolster the resiliency of our communities and reduce the costs associated with disaster recovery. unfortunately, experts have expressed concern that insufficient funding has negatively impacted the implementation of the program, and we are missing out on low-cost mitigation opportunities.

dhaka that let those men and women risking their lives over that bridge in selma alabama, not janis joplin, not university and it sure wasn't a labor union. [applause] it was and john lennon that taught people about peace and peaceful resistance. that job fell on the shoulders of a jewish carpenter a long time ago. [applause] their rights that so many americans ignorantly preach about, line about aren't even there's. they don't belong to us. those rights belong to god. we are caretakers of those rights. they belong to him and are given to us for stewardship and they are pretty important and they are pretty obvious. in fact, they were so obvious we used to say that they were self-evident for those people that are currently under indoctrination in the universities. let me explain self-evident. [applause] that means that they are so simple humans don't even have to have them explained to them. you know. you don't need to be taught. you instinctively know that you have a right not to be executed without trial, not to be held without charge and to be searched without a warrant or spied upon wit

a big swath has seen 4 to 8 inches of rains and up to 12 inches in the joplin, missouri area and the ozarks and that runs off to the streams and bigger rivers. eventual eventually, we will have a major flooding condition around the mississippi river, in and around st. louis and cresting in the flood stage. you see this maroon color, flash flooding in the oklahoma city area, not exactly where mike tobin is, but south of the city, it is raining again. we have been having rain for much of the overnight hours, pushing 12 hours now a lot of heavy rain across the area and heavy rains across indiana and kentucky right now, still dealing across areas of missouri and tornado watch has expired. i'll get that off the map here. and still to the south and east of the city, still seeing very heavy rain. we will see more severe weather, moves a little farther to the east and not talking about as big of a tornado concern. i'm sure we will see tornadoes today. oklahoma city, you are clear and a little bit farther off to the east and south. much of the central area of texas including dallas stretching
