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 often. this is a particularly dangerous situation, tornado watch. we call it a p.d.s. watch. that goes until midnight including oklahoma city and tulsa. that means long-lived, violent, dangerous tornadoes are likely here. we are talking about a tornado watch in the joplin area until 10:00 central. yes, even st. louis under a tornado watch tonight until 10:00 central and further to the east against the indiana border watching out for tornadoes until 4:00 in the morning. here is a threat for overnight tonight. chicago, st. louis, oklahoma city, millions of people could be impacted by either damaging winds, large hail, even the possibility of tornadoes. we do

at 210, 220, 230, 240, where moore stopped at 210, the damage would have been worse than moore and it would have been wider than moore and pretty much longer than moore. 16 or so miles long. that is longer than manhattan is wide. 2.6 is wider than manhattan is wide. it would have covered the entire island. it would have taken it all out. >> that's just incredible. chad, appreciate it. thanks for the update. >>> keeping them honest, tax collectors spending your money, taxpayer money, on themselves. namely, feel-good conferences and morale-boosting retreats held in feel-good locations with morale-boosting weather and free drinks. the irs spending nearly, get ready, $50 million of your money on travel, hotels, seminars, cheesy videos, even arts and crafts. and that's not all. this was happening while the irs was claiming it didn't have enough money to properly do its job. an inspector general's report that came out today that we've been previewing now for several days, dana bash took a look at it. she's keeping them honest tonight. >> reporter: paintings of albert einstein, michael jordan, abraham lincoln, and even bono

moore. the moore tornado was devastating as everyone knows. we were caught by that tornado as well. that storm intensified very quickly and unexpectedly as well. you know, it's a good practice to have, and sometimes storms do unexpected things, especially when tornadoes are large and devastating like this. >> what do you expect to see through the rest of the night. we understand the threat is less so now, but you still have all of the flood waters to contend with. >> yes. i am hearing several areas that are flooded in moorend norman. we were just dealing with street flooding ourselves. we also encountered baseball sized hail a little while ago. luckily didn't lose glass in our vehicle, but yeah, we're getting north and just trying to get eyes on it. we'll see what damage we encounter. >> what's the biggest concern with the flood waters that you're seeing? >> i really haven't seen any flood waters to speak of, anything significant yet. i worry, i hear that some people were trapped in water, what was the location, south of oklahoma city. just low lying areas that are prone to flooding. i hope it is not too bad, but i haven't experienced the worst of that myself. >> chris mcbee, storm chaser in oklahoma that got away unharmed, despite what you see in this video. we appreciate your work. >> thanks for having me cht. >> just to bring you up to date, this is some of the more incredible video i've seen coming out of oklahoma where the storm took such an immediate right turn that it caught even the experts by su

situation and you have to get out of the cars as we saw from the moore tornado. >> shepard: speaking of moore, we now have reports out of mooreof cars problems with vehicles and the west. man, moore they have just been in the worst way. >> they really have. and we do know there is a lot of power outages around the norman area adjacent to moore. there was debris flying around in moore and he could see it. of course, it could have been debris that was already debris. >> shepard: i didn't mean to interrupt you, go ahead. >> we weren't sure if it was really strong winds or an actual cyclone of some sort. >> shepard: as you have been speaking i have been looking around the map from the greater oklahoma city area. and i'm not seeing any reports from law enforcement officials or emergency managers or hospitals or any one of an area of widespread destruction. certainly nothing like we saw in moore. i don't see any area where it looks like a tornado came down nd took out neighborhoods. thunderstormally hours into the storm we would have the reports from ambulances, from emergency medical responders. from fire departments, police depa

moore's are britain -- upland moors are britain at its most majestic. a magnificent natural landscape. one of our nations last unspoiled wilderness ies. but a growing campaign seeks to transform these landscapes forever, turning britain's moorend into this. nature taketo let control of the landscape to reverse thousands of years of domestication and allow ancient ecosystems like this one to reassert themselves. britain's rewilder in chief. washat went on here massive d4 station in 19th century for the lead mining. then farming after that. trees were. we cut and pt cleared. you end up with this. it is really a barren landscape. the heather and grassland is typical of all over the world where you have d4 station. in britain, we fetishize it. deforestation.- in britain, we fetishize it. we think trees are undesirable, invasive species. >> his idea of what needs to happen is woodland like this. 20 years ago, this was oakland -- open moorland. >> you see the transformation. it was bleak and barren. ,ow there are insects coming in leasing the trees, birds eating the insects. is much more bio diverse, much richer. it has cover, which is what so many species need. >> by creating places like this means making some profound changes to

one toward i-40, another one, north of moore, but our estimates, 15 or so north of the previous damage track of moore. people are watching in moore, seeing perhaps their neighborhood miss the storm. they see another one within a few miles of it. scary sight. and a third one, coming down to the east of that three independent storms and tornadoes across this region, you see the satellite imagery. it goes from 5:00 to 6:00 in the afternoon, we know chad myers was outside. he said, there was a few clouds in the afternoon, a few, and within a matter of two, three hours, 50 miles across, and 50,000 feet, that turned the storm violent. it is beginning to fan out across the state at this hour. >> we will continue to talk with you. it has been amazing, the pictures we have seen. many states, not out of the woods yet. >> it is approaching ten minutes past 2:00, cnn is live throughout the night. chad myers has been out in this dangerous weather all day. chad is on a main road. chad, what is the latest? >> it is raining heavily this. is just exactly what they do not need. a place that picked up between seven and nine inches of rainfall. the

moore tornado for moore safe rooms that saved lives that might have saved those school kids that died, that bill like all the others went nowhere in the oklahoma state legislature. but then it happened again. another huge storm went barrelling through oklahoma. one giant tornado struck el reno, oklahoma, which like moore oklahoma, is a suburb of oklahoma city. that tornado on friday in el reno was also an ef-5, and while everybody was astonished by the size of that mile wide tornado that hit moore, that one in el reno was more than 2 1/2 miles wide. this is the widest tornado on record ever. so wide that observers had trouble figuring out exactly where it was because it seemed like it was everywhere. students at a vocational school in the path of the huge storm managed to get underground before that funnel cloud destroyed their building. now the superintendent of that school says that any rebuilding he does is going to include some kind of safe room. quote, when you see the devastation and you see the end result, it clears up for you pretty quick. the death toll so far from that tornado outbreak on friday is 18 people dead. but everybody at that vo-tech school lived because they had an underground shelter to get to. with back to back tragedies like this in her state, mary fallin says oklahoma must hav

moore? i asked the question because moore, big chunks of it were destroyed on may 20 in the tornado then. i was there for a few days in the aftermath. i wonder how badly mooreime around. >> i'm not sure, wolf. but one problem you have with a lot of damaged areas that still haven't been cleaned up yet is you have a lot of loose debris. today, we had high winds move into those areas. i don't know for sure whether or not actual tornadoes hit, but i can tell you that strong winds impacted that area. i think that might have caused some issues with all that debris getting kicked up and flying around. >> they lost a lot of power over there, as well. how close did you get to the storm on this day, ben? >> we we are about a half mile away from the tornadoes that formed south of the el reno airport. it started off as small, stovepipe tornadoes but grew into a half mile to mile wide tornado that moved east from our location. just encountered a lot of homes damaged in that area. there were some cars flipped, propane tanks leaking. then helped with some rescue efforts. >> you got out and helped people in trouble? >> yeah, we were in the areas were houses were hit. >> we

moore is. because the first thing people are talking about is, i can't believe moore is going to get hit again. mooreth. at least they're getting heavy rain, heavy hail. here's the rotation. here's the system that the meteorologists are tracking now. it has now moved south and east of oklahoma city. if i put a track on it we can see some of the areas that were, are going to be impacted by this potential tornado in the next few minutes. you see at 8:03, midwest city that must be a location i'm not familiar with that will be impacted as this thing moving further down the line. you can see the track of itself. tornado alley gets its name for a reason. much different weather around here. and sorry about that move. i'm going to fix that for 10:00. of course that story we're following we'll keep you posted on what's happening there. we'll have a lot more at the 10:00 broadcast tonight on channel 2. red flag warning across solano county. it looks winds will get going pretty good in that area. 25 to 30 miles per hour. doesn't mean we won't see winds where you are. and with increased temperatures and lower hu

moore, oklahoma. we have jeremy lewis with oklahoma city police on the phone with us. my apologies, jerry or jeremy? >> jeremy lewis with moore police department. >> thank you very much for being here with us today. obviously people must have been terrified hearing another tornado was heading their direction today. are you hearing any reports of damage? >> yes. we are still trying to assess the damage. we have damage in a large area of the city. haven't seen any significant damage but power lines down, different trees down, damage to buildings. most of the city is without power, having trouble seeing. we have officers trying to get around. the bad part is it is flooded, literally every street. numerous streets we can't get down because the water is three foot deep. >> we are seeing pictures on our air of massive flooding. >> it is really hampering efforts. we have patrol cars stranded because we tried to go into the areas and water came up over the car. not only are we dealing with damage, but dealing with numerous streets that are flooded. >> what was the reaction in moore, they have been prepared for 48 hours this was possible, but how did the city react? >> you know, there was just an eery feeling that -- it just got bad again really quick, it was northwest of our city, which we thought we were okay, for whatever reason the storm turned southeast, which they never do, but this one did, ended upcoming right through pretty much the entire city. had officers trying to get out of the way going east, just randomly tornadoes were coming down, basically through moore, east of moore into norman. normally if you go south, you can get out of it, which is what we were trying to do. we were literally running from tornadoes. >> do you recall a year like this ever? >> i honestly, i don't remember a couple week period like this, where we're, you know, the same area is getting hammered by severe storms. but i've never had to run like we did today. we literally could not get out of the way of the tornadoes. we ended up driving almost 45 miles in a circle, trying to do

moore oklahoma. so much of moore was devastated by the may 20th tornado. congressman, where were you when this latest storm was going through? what was it like? >> well, i was actually in downtown half a mile from the damage of the old school building, which is now a combination event center. award scholarships wanted to go ahead in light of everything that had happened. as quickly as we could, it was literally torrential rain coming down. he was keeping an eye by cell phone and radio of what was going on. that point, at a certain point, we ended it. most people went there. i'm a half mile from my home. i headed home, walked in the door and my wife was, fortunately, next door, we have a shelter reinforced interior room, but she moved to the shelter next door and i just rode it out. >> what was it like riding it out? >> you know, power gone and the phones and everything like that. literally torrential rain. keeping in touch with people by blackberry and cell phone. and then a third, evidently, east of here. not obviously as severe as we had on may 20 lt. certainly, lots of lightning. probably five or six inches of rain. we're clearly going to have major flooding problems. emergency vehicles coming off i-35 proceeding west. you kind of worry a little bit about whether or not there's going to be a tornado. of sle, very seriously severe winds, my guess would be in the neighborhood of 60 miles an hour. this area was almost at the center of this activity. no rain and then all of the sudden, kicked off again. >> do you have any sense of the casualties that those injured and worse? >> only what i've heard on the radio, wolf? the governor has been on and emergency management people have been on. and, you know, the only thing i've heard and i have no official word, a couple of fatalities on i-40, very tragic. eftly, mother and child. we're going to have a lot of damage, a lot of flooding and probably a lot of isolated people. so people with no power, about 60,000 of them in the oklahoma city area. many areas were affected on may 20th. congressman tom koel of oklahoma, thanks so much for joining us and sharing some thoughts with our viewers here in the united states and around the world. we'll stay in touch with you. she's in charles county, which is in the western part of the st. louis. tell us what's going on where you are? >> about 30 minutes from the city of st. louis. here is what's going on in this area. straight line winds can do just as much damage. this is where the roof is. pieces of that 6,000 square foot home and they are all on the lawn of this house. this was their dream home. they built it from the ground up. there is just boards and debris everywhere. for a few minutes ago, mr. weiss, robert weiss took us inside. inside of all of the places, the common areas, it seems to me that he's in a little bit of shock right now. the dream home that you had wished for all of your life is sitting, actually, your front yard. now, this area has had quite a lot of damage. we've seen trees down, just big trees taken out of there from the ground and on the roads. we've seen other roads on the streets as well. quite a lot of devastation here. but, wolf, this is perhaps the worst of this devastation, saint charles county, in the area that we are, off of highway 94. >> heartbreaking, indeed. thanks for sharing that with our viewers, as well. not far from sant lewis. kansas, missouri and beyond. we're bringing you tornado warnings in illinois, as well. brandon sullivan is joining us on the phone right now. he's the storm chaser who shot this truly amazing video in oklahoma. walk us through where you were and what was going on. >> we were just northwest of union city, oklahoma. we could tell that a tornado was pretty eminent at any time. it became very large, very fast. we eventually knew it was time to go south. we began moving south. the tornado actually crosses maybe a half mile behind our car. the tornado was so strong that its ripped the barn apart. smashes into our car.ris and so, basically, had no choice but to slow down and move slowly with the debris flying towards us. >> some debris smashing your windshield. what kind of vehicle is this? >> i drive a jeep patriot. >> and is it armored? is it safe to go through a dangerous situation? a storm like this? >> there's no special armoring. i don't have a tank or anything. i don't think it's as safe to be as close as we were, even in those armored vehicles. flying debris is very, very deadly. >> we just saw it. >> were you driving? were you in the front seat? where were you when that windshield was smashed like that? >> i was actually in the passenger's seat. you know, honestly, my concern was -- i know we were in the tornadoic circulation. i really wasn't being concerned about being picked up. my main concern were obviously flying debris. and, you know, possibly getting tipped over by the winds. but, you know, those are my main concerns. >> what was the most frightening moment that you and your colleagues had to endure? >> you know, the tornado, like i said, it grew very large. and it turned right and came right at us. i would say that moment of the tornado coming at us was probably even more scary than the debris actually hitting my car. i knew that we were at least out of the tornadoic situation. i wasn't too worried. i knew i was getting some damage to my car. but that was a lot better than getting picked up or possibly slipped or carried away by the tornado. >> some other vehicles we saw were flipped or carried away. how long have you been doing this? chasing storms like this? >> well, you know, i'm only 20 years old. i've been doing this since i was about 14. seven, almost eight years. i've been doing this quite a while, just today was a lot of experience. >> it's pretty frightening. >> yes, we have the cameras on the front dash, on the hood and interior cameras. we're really able to capture pretty much anything that happens. >> are you okay now, brandon? >> yes, i'm fine. i'm at home and i got cleaned up and just ready to have some dinner and relax? >> what about your friends? >> yes, everybody in the vehicle is okay. we're all sitting here and kind of sharing our pictures and videos and reminiscing about the day. >> brandon, be careful. we know there will be a next time. brandon sullivan shot this amazing video. and we've been showing it to our viewers. thanks very much. let's take a quick break. we're going to continue our extensive coverage of the storm. more storm chasers videos coming up, as well. stay with us. vo: traveling you definitely end up meeting a lot more people but a friend under water is something completely different. i met a turtle friend today so, you don't get that very often. it seemed like it was more than happy to have us in his home. so beautiful. avo: more travel. more options. more personal. whatever you're looking for expedia has more ways to help you find yours. little things anyone can do. it steals your memories. your independence. ensures support, a breakthrough. and sooner than you'd like. sooner than you'd think. you die from alzheimer's disease. we cure alzheimer's disease. every little click, call or donation adds up to something big. >>> let me update you, some new nfgts coming in to cnn. the governor says widespread, severe weather system moving across the state. that's in missouri. in oklahoma, the oklahoma department of transportation has urged everyone, all travel in the metro poll tan oklahoma city area. oklahoma city will rogers airport is without power, late into friday night. all flights, according to an airport spokeswoman while the airport did not take a direct hit, she says there is debris on the airfield. we will not be allowing flights. oklahoma city's airport shut down at least for now. let's bring in the storm chaser dave holder who is joining us now. dave, where are you? where are you now and what do you see? >> we started the day in norman, actually. we knew the storms were going to fire just west of the city. we started out there and started watching the storms fire and they got very, very intense, very quickly. and within a matter of minutes, there was a strong, violent tornado forming just to our west. we dropped south trying to get out of its path. it took kind of a southerly path, which, oftentimes, they do. i was amazed about how many local people there were out on the road. it was pretty much a traffic jam out on the road. so i knew a few other people got into unfortunate situations. i was kind of thinking it was going to happen just because of the amount of people that were on the road, it was crazy. so we ended up going south. and we managed to stay out ahead of everything. but the amount of traffic on the roads, for people actually fleeing the storms, was incredible, also. it's something i've never, ever seen. how many people were actually trying to get out of the way of these storms coming in. i think maybe what happened was that the tornadoes were fresh in the mind. people just panicked. i've never seen people panic the way that i saw today. it was just a massive evacuation as these storms came through. i'm still in shock, actually. we couldn't get back in to the metro. we ended up going south here. we're down near ardmore now. all the accidents i'm hearing about and now some crazy flooding back in oklahoma city. just all around, an insane day. >> usually, the advice is stay put. don't go on the road. massive traffic jams. traffic was barely moving. is that what i'm hearing? >> yes, every opening. traffic was at a standstill. i'm hearing reports that people are actually telling some of the tv outlets are reporting. it was just a -- thank goodness it wasn't as awful as it could have been. it's just kind of unfathomable to witness what i did. >> how long have you been chasing these kinds of storms? >> this is my ailgt year of doing this. and it's -- i don't think i've ever gone through a stretch of days where i've seen so many violent tornadoes in a short span of time. the season started out very slowly. >> what we saw today, though, it really can't compare to the ef-5 that we saw rip through moore oklahoma only may 20th, is that right? >> yeah, that's correct. the tornadoes today, they're nowhere near come parson of the ef-5. i mean, obviously, we can't forget about it, but it's nowhere near come parson. for all the bad things that have happened today, in a way, we kind of touched for the parameters that we're setting up for this afternoon and evening. >> david holder, glad you're okay. dave holder is a storm chaser. thanks very much. >>> i think we have the lieutenant governor of oklahoma joining us on the phone. lieutenant governor, are you there? >> i'm with you. >> what can you tell us about the damage, the casualties. give us an update, if you can. >> i wish i could. i wish i had something more concrete to share with you. i know a lot of people are watching you. it's still so early. we don't know what the reports are. i don't want to get into numbers because it confirms to be reported on broadcast. there will be significant reports of injury. i do believe i'm on the road r

moore two weeks ago once again caught the worst of it. the storms hit during friday rush hour, and with memories of moore still fresh, many tried to flee on the roads. and for some it would be a deadly choice. >> most of those victims, if not all, came out of vehicles. >> the tornado that ripped through el reno, oklahoma, proved especially unpredictable. it made an unexpected left-hand turn, suddenly traveling north. it caught even experienced storm chasers completely by surprise. >> that thing is rotating. >> it is? >> storm chaser tim samaras seen on discovery channel's storm chasers show along with his son

moore. ms. moore: thank you so much, representative horsford from nevada. representative hakim jeffries as well. who is here with us. for focusing on this evert and o conduct this evening, this special order on lifting americans out of poverty. it was very, very difficult to listen to representative barbara lee provide those data and those statistics of the numbers of americans who are living in poverty. and reflecting on my own personal experience, reflecting on what i see every seungle day among my constituents, the stark poverty, especially of children, it is very, very difficult to talk about this because this is just not abstract, this is very real. but the -- for the purposes of this discussion, though, with your permission, representative horsford, i would like to just modify your model, or your theme, for one moment. enstead of talking about lifting americans out of poverty, i'd like to talk about lifting america out of poverty. you see, america is heading down the road to not just have 46 million americans living in poverty, not just having half of

moore tornado happened just last week. and me and my team were on that as well. as far as destructiveness, it is unclear because we -- unlike the moore tornado, we weren't able to jump into the damaged area and assist the search and rescue. we were forced out ahead of the storm so we wouldn't be hit by it as well. so i am -- i am unclear as to the actual damage extent in and around a lot of the areas around the city. >> at this point, we are only -- we have confirmed five deaths so far there in oklahoma. you were talking about the one that hit in moore. that was an ef-5. i understand that only 60 ef-5s have hit the united states since 1950. seven of those in alabama and there in oklahoma. what was it like being there in moore? >> caller: excuse me. being in moore, it was the most terrifying feeling that you can imagine. a to have nadeo roaring through probably a half mile to our north and northwest from where we were sitting. all we could do was sit there and watch. as storm chasers, that's the worst feeling in the world to know that people's lives and property are being destroyed right in front of our eyes and we are powerless to do anything but watch and jump in straight after the tornado moves away to assist in whatever way we can. >> as we take a look at the images of the tornado, it is just amazing, you know, what mother nature can do and how quickly it can change. what have you been anal to see -- have you been able to see there on the scene? night has fallen and there is heavy rain and flooding. but have you been able to see

moore, oklahoma. obviously everybody in the country is concerned about moore with what happened there last week, seeing it in the path of the storm again tonight, mr. shelton, what can you tell us about how moore faired in the latest round of storms? >> i am hearing lots of reports of flooding on residential streets and there's report of one house fire in the community. i do not have reports of new damage from any touchdowns of tornadoes in the city limits. that's all very preliminary. >> jamie, in terms of the continuing recovery efforts from last week, do you know if in advance of the new round of bad weather that came through today if presumably people were cleared out, i imagine it is harder to find a safe place to be in moore after what you went through last week? >> that's correct. volunteers that were working in areas were moved out, we watched the weather the entire day. national weather center in norman is maybe 15 miles from moore, so we have the best people in the world giving us information to make sure we can communicate to citizens. >> in terms of any continuing threat to moore, are you still being advised that there may be heavy weather ahead, may still be dangerous situation in

moore, i appreciate that -- samantha moore is tracking the storms for us from atlanta. she joins me now -- excuse me, let's go to chad myers, instead. chad, we're still looking at what? another half hour or so? >> yeah, these storms are running over the same track as the storm did just previously a half hour ago. and samantha called it the training effect. one car goes off the same place. these storms seem like they're on a track, as well. and now we have reports, doppler radar indicated, as well, between six and eight inches of rainfall have fallen since 5:00 when all of this started. remember, at 4:20 in the afternoon, the skies were still clear. it was about as far as we wanted to go. there's a couple of couple louse clouds. 20 minutes later, these storms were 50,000 feet and higher. ten miles high in about 20 minutes. they just developed so quickly. there was so much humidity in the air and it all fell out. especially west metro. back into oklahoma city, southwest city, also down into dell city and northern moorelot of water going. it's a pretty flat place. >> yeah, and some of you are watching very closely right now and are going to be watching all evening long. i want to bring in the chief of staff for the mayor of st. louis. what's the situation in st. louis now? what's -- what have you seen over the last hour or so? >> it was a whopper of a storm. we have not had any major damage. nothing like what you saw in oklahoma, recently. and we had no significant injuries, the biggest damage, the fwraetest disruption we've had is out at our airport. lambert is currently closed. it was kind of the center part of the storm. in addition, the security fence may have suffered some damage. we have no injuries there. the folks inside the terminal, there was no major damage or injuries there. however, there is debris on the field and there may be damage to the security fence. so, right now, we're going around and trying to assess the damage of the security fence. wuchs we' once we've either fixed the damag

moore. when the unthinkable happened in moore it was a mile wide. ef-4, ef-5 damage as far as you can see.miles wide. twice as far as here. that's wider than the island of manhattan. and the widest tornado ever recorded in the u.s. the el reno storm surprised chasers by shifting directions suddenly. >> no! turn now! we're going to die! >> reporter: they were lucky. three other professional chasers lost their lives including tim samaras. >> amazing sight! >> reporter: he was an experienced chaser caught in this mangled car. on the west coast wildfires are raging. firefighters have battled more than 2,000 wildfires this year, nearly twice the five-year average. the powerhouse fire burning near los angeles has charred more than 32,000 acres and destroyed six homes so far. >> the flames were 200 feet high. it was horrible. we couldn't breathe. it was nothing but smoke. >> reporter: hundreds of homes are also threatened in new mexico and colorado fires. now dangerous flooding along the missouri and mississippi rivers. several levees have been breached. officials have urged the evacuation of mor
