happened a short time ago, norman, oklahoma. some of the areas, casey, it is so hard to put our minds around us because the sky is clear and now we are are watching the same areas again and watching twisters fall out of the sky in some of the same areas as you have described and janice dean hastie scribed the danger zone is more of a whirling and a swirling rather than the storm moves north and moves out of your area. as i'm he watching now we are efforting to get the mayor of shawnee. we he have various reports of vast damage in the area and janice dean was just on with us moments guy to say that she had deep concern for this area and now as try to confirm and have one death in shawnee, oklahoma. casey, i know that you are making your way there right now. what are the immediate conditions you are feeling? >> you know what is crazy? it is sunny. the sun is shining. is is sunset so the sun is starting to go down. i was describing when i was on the air with you 20 minutes or so. these tornadoes are isolated. late rally blue skies

norman -- norman hospital is about five miles south of moore, so most of the victims were transportedi think, to norman because the moore medical center was practically destroyed. so norman definitely had a lot of the injured coming to our city. and a lot of our first responders were going up to moore as well to help out. >> all right, well, thank you very much for the update on the effort to give as much assistance as possible to the people of moore. as you point out, your area, norman, oklahoma, pitching in to help as so many others communities around the state and this country. thank you so much. >> well, the american red cross is now on the ground in moore and has several shelters operating in the oklahoma city area. they have deployed almost 30 emergency response vehicles delivering food and relief supplies to families. joining me now, autumn from the american red cross. i see you dealing with the weather. we can't emphasize the impact it's having on the people there, which means of course they need shelter. former governor keating said there are about 20,000 families who may be

kpix 5's ann notarangelo with more on the plea deal brought on by norman wielsch's attorney.nn. >> reporter: elizabeth, norman wielsch wanted leniency and asked the court for it and the judge could have given him a harder sentence but she made it clear that as a former police officer she thinks he deserves to go to prison and she sentenced him to 14 years. >> he was hoping that the court would listen to our approach and grant him some concession for 24 years of service. >> reporter: going into federal court today, the former commander of the central contra costa county narcotics enforcement team had made a plea deal. norman wielsch would ask for no less than 10 years in prison and plead guilty to 5 felonies including selling drugs, robbing prostitutes and making phony arrests. the u.s. attorneys office would then drop six other felony charges and ask for 14 to 17 years in prison. but then wielsch got a new attorney and asked for home confinement. his attorney said he didn't act out of greed, he was mentally ill. >> these crimes were the result of a severe depression. >> repor

chad is in norman, oklahoma. our meteorologist samantha mohr is standing by at the cnn severe weather center tracking the storms not just oklahoma. i understand in missouri there are some actual tornadoes warnings right now. what is going on? >> well, missouri we've had the most activity so far today. but we do ek pekt that area to expand as the evening progresses and cool air moves in from the northwest. very moist air. dew points here. that major moisture in the atmosphere into the 70s. incredibly moist. in the heat that chad was talking about here. this is the area we expect to see for an enhanced risk of development of tornadic development today. there's that pds area over oklahoma. we have another tornado watch currently in place over southeastern kansas and then across much of missouri and that's where the severe thunderstorm warnings are right now. well to the north of springfield here. moving off to the east. these cells have been moving really quickly off to the northeast around 35 miles per hour. so a q

we have two on the southern in norman and one in norman medical center. awhile either one or all three had the potential to be in the tornado path. luckily the southernmost hospitals escaped damage and moore took a direct hit, but we had luckily in oklahoma, as you know we have a fair amount of warning time, lead time leading to this type of severe weather, as a health system we have procedures in place to move patients where they need to be, safest part of the hospital for a scenario like this was headed our way, this time it did, it happened. we took a direct hit in moore at moore medical center. had about 30 patients in the hospital at that time and our staff was able to move all the patients to first floor cafeteria in the center part of the facility and all of the staff was able tow get there and able to usher about 300 plus community members who showed up at the hospital to seek shelter from the storm. they were able to get all those people into the inner most part of the facility during the storm when it passed over and amazingly that's one of the

>> i am inside here in south norman. before i left our operation center there at the storm prediction center, a couple of our employees were in touch with their family members, one of whom is a teacher up near where the tornado hit. everyone was fine. they knew it was coming. but we are unfortunately very close to the areas that were has hardest hit. >> norman is a major university town as well. a lot of students. i assume they're in shelters, bunkers right now, mr. bunting, right? >> to my knowledge, classes have actually for the spring semester let out, but there were a number of folks on campus, as you would expect, this time of year. but, again, the early warning, folks knew what to do, and unfortunately we get opportunities to put our severe weather plan into action more than a few times a year here. >> chad, you have a quick question for mr. bunting? >> mr. bunting, we knew this was going to be a big three-day period. did you anticipate this? >> well, we certainly knew the potential for intense tornadoes was high.

she and norman want to talk to you about something important. what is it?t a new job... in los angeles. they're moving to l.a. mommy's moving? when? the end of the month. when am i going to see mommy? well... she and norman want you to move to l.a. with them. you're kidding, right? no, i'm not. it's not fair. it's just not fair. ramón: alex, come back here! i think we should talk about this. i hate you. i really, really hate all of you! alex... alex, i didn't want to upset you. i'm sorry. ( sighs ) i just want you to know how much i love you, and... this is ridiculous! how about if i sit down? remember how we used to sit and talk about important things... like, uh, when your bike was stolen... or when you broke the kitchen window? ( sighs ) so... your mom wants you to move, and i want you to stay. somehow, we're going to have to work this out. you understand? i want it the way it was-- with you and mommy and me together. i don't think that's possible. why not? because you don't love each other anymore? what about me? what am i supposed to do? where you goin

this will travel north of norman. norman is where the university of oak iklahoma is. it will go right through downtown moore, oklahoma, and across a populated area, miss just a little bit across cleveland county, you begin to see just a slight unpopulated or less populated area, then finally back into more population as you get closer to i-40. right now people's lives are being tossed around. this tornado on the ground the way i can see it 140 to 160-mile-per-hour tornado, the same type of strength that we saw in the shawnee tornado yesterday. we've been showing pictures of that damage. we're going to see similar damage here but not only 15 or 20 homes we're talking thousands of homes going to look just like those pictures out of shawnee that we showed you today and then from last night's storm. this is a major damaging event. this is a deadly event. even the weather service saying many fatalities are likely with a storm of this size. if you don't take the precautions necessary, again, inside the house, some tornadoes -- one of the storms that went over moore at some

. >> norman, oklahoma is home to university of oklahoma and the sooners football team, but it's alsoto extraordinarily unpredictable and violent weather. >> that storm once it started really spinning west of norman ramped up pretty quickly, and boom, in a matter of a couple minutes it started spinning much, much faster. >> that's trouble with a capital "t" right there. >> monitoring the storm that day is mike morgan, chief meteorologist if station knfr in oklahoma city. >> you can really see the wall cloud starting to spin much, much faster. at that point we knew there was going to be a reasonable chance that a tornado was going to set down on the western sides of norman, third largest city in oklahoma, and go right through town. hey, mike. we've got tower flashes right here. it's going to be about two miles just to the west of campus. >> up in his news chopper pilot wells can see the storm approaching from the west. >> it's two and a half miles for the university of oklahoma. and you know, you see a lot of people out on the streets. so my thought is these guys need to get covered an

>> we worked closely with the national weather service out norman and tulsa. they are a great partner to us and provide a last information. >> gregg: i know you have fixed location systems, do you also have fixed doplar systems on trucks and they are familiar and you can see them? >> guest: that would come from the national weather system not something that comes physically out of our office. >> gregg: how can people keep abreast of what emergency management is telling them? is there a particular radio frequency to tune in to? >> guest: no. no. the best way to do it, really, is to work with local media closely and provide information through local media. we post things online. if you don't have access to tv make a friend nearby, call your family members, be somewhere you can get that information. we always recommend people have access to a weather radio, smartphones are a great tool now, to use. >> heather: kelly, do you find people in your area are becoming complacent with the storms because they occur regularly in your area regularly? do you have a difficult

>> i was actually in norman. was in my office earlier in the day and saw the storm coming, went to my house to evacuate with my wife and child. >> where is your house from your office? >> i'm located about six blocks south of the briarwood elementary school. so it is about ten miles from my office. so i drove home, packed up my wife, my child, my pets, drove back to norman to clear the path of the storm. >> so then what did you do after that? >> after i was quite certain that the tornado had crossed i-35, i returned to my house, put on my uniform, couldn't get anywhere -- >> was your house okay? >> had damage, minor damage, mostly roof, but put on my uniform, then i walked the six blocks to the school. >> then what was the scene at the school? >> it was pretty chaotic, a lot of parents, lot of responders, trying to figure out where i could fit in to help. >> how did you help? >> just helping coordinate getting people out of the school and then at some point caught a ride with another agency ambulance up to the wa

we're located in norman, oklahoma, just a few miles past.re responsible nationwide for tornado forecasting. this is the peak of the season right in this area, springtime is the peak for tornado season but we can have tornadoes any time of year. we're looking at unconfirmed damage of loss of life. we have an official count of 10 killed. 6 in terms of its track, a mile wide, perhaps an e 5, perhaps 200-mile-per-hour winds. where do you put it in terms of history. >> it looks very devastating, you know, hopefully the death toll will be reduced from the warnings that we were able to get in place both days in advance, we were watching this system advance for days, we have been talking about it for almost a week. we have been talking about warnings and tornado emergencies issued before the heart of the storm impacted moore, oklahoma. it's a devastating track. it's very reminiscent of the tornado that went through moore, oklahoma in 1999, on the third of may. >> what would be the weather reason for having the same path. >> we don't have a reason, b

and we talked about the national weather service being in norman.that's not an accident that it's in norman. this is tornado alley. what is the realistic warning season that's out there? is it hours, is it minutes? what is it? >> well, i think when you have a warning, you know that this is the time of year and then they usually say, this really looks like it could be a time that might happen. then you watch it. but once it comes down, most people don't really get, oh, now it's there. but the media in oklahoma, they cover it extensively. i was on last night watching -- >> kfor -- >> live streamed this entire storm. the whole state is. and this is an experience, not just meteorologists, but an experienced population. >> and they're ready for it. they have all their shelters. and basically, what senator nichols said is correct. we have a weather service in norman, oklahoma, and the local affiliates pick it up. you know, i remember covering a guy who was watching it on his tv in 1999. and he looked and he said, oh, it's coming right towards my apartment

shelters in norman that's available. they have food and water.ne of journey church trying to coordinate, harvest church in norman. the other thing is it's like i said, commissioner stacey, the fair grounds of cleveland county, the foundation and moore shelter, the moore animal shelter is set up there to take pets and help with food and cleanup for their pets. so we appreciate all your help. thank you. >> my name is gary cox. the director of the oklahoma city health department. our job in public health is to keep people healthy and well, prevent further loss of life. further disease we're doing a number of effort as long that line with our partner, blue cross, blue shield we have three mobile vans giving tetanus shots to those that might be doing a cleanup and have injuries, puncture wounds or other wounds so those will be available in oklahoma city and oklahoma county and available in cleveland county if needed. we are working with restaurants, food establishments, with the t food and get the restaurants and get them open and safe food for the pu

just to the southwest of norman, oklahoma. if it moves to the northeast as it's doing at around 30, 406 miles per hour, that could be a concern for that area. right now that one is just a severe thunderstorm. then we go north of oklahoma city. that's where a lot of the storm chasers are right now. those storms although the clouds look very ominous and they're lowering to the ground and we do have tornado warnings in thefef, we're not seeing these storms as very organized. they're disorganized in nature. there's rotation the radar is indicating. from the ground, there isn't a lot of rotation. perkins, langeston, with the storm in the middle. to the northeast just a little bit more, that's in osage and pawnee counties. those storms are moving east at about 40 miles per hour. towns of concern there, blackburn, cleveland, osage and homanee. they're trying to on firm the rotation that the radar is indicating. this is when the spotters are so important. as soon as the funnel reaches the ground, you have a tornado and you can actuall

that cell started in norman then started jogging over to the east. we understand doing a great deal of damage to the northwest side of lake thunderbird which is east of norman then it went into the area of pink, oklahoma. pink as in the color. and then the damage we are seeing out of shawnee. that shawnee damage was out of the second super cell that formed to the southeast of oklahoma city. oklahoma city to the most part seems to be fair. most of the damage these cells again to the north and east of oklahoma city and to the south and to the southeast of oklahoma city, but only time will tell, because as janice said, we saw this in texas last week, one area would have a tornado warning it would expire and then you thought you were out of the woods and 30 minutes later a new tornado warning was issued. if weather when you have the unstable air and extreme high temperatures we have been experiencing for this time of year and you have the cold front coming in with a lot of humidity in the air. >> it is very combat i. it is a perfect storm, no pun intende

moore, especially norman, that hail is falling out of the storm. we do know this is going to have some hail damage in the norman area likely for the rest of the night at least for the next half hour to 30 minutes. >> we'll stay on top of it. very quickly, this is no longer just a tornado warning or tornado watch. there is actually a tornado or some tornadoes on the ground. is that right? >> that's to the north of oklahoma city proper or northeast and that area, purcell, will eventually see that and northeast of there on up toward still water. those are not the storms we're chasing. the storms we're chasing are south of oklahoma city. those are the ones that will eventually potentially go into oklahoma city itself. now we're in good shape but it is going to be a long night for people here. more storms are developing to the west, wolf. >> chad is watching what's going on. thanks very much. we'll stay in close touch with you and of course when we get images and word of an actual tornado on the ground in the populated or maybe not such a populated area

justice department surveillance mission with norman solomon he's director of the institute for public at crissy it's known as a show that helps activists groups be heard. in the interests of national security short of the action against associated press was justified in this instance. well a lot is done in the name of national security and protecting the public several decades ago spying by the nixon administration on the press dirty tricks and so forth were also rationalized inside the white house and later publicly as somehow protecting the public from subversive or other elements that threaten the republic and that is really one of the last refuge of scoundrels when it comes to top leaders who want to turn off the tap of information reaching their own public that those leaders would rather the public be kept in the dark about and i think what we've seen with these revelations about the phone records of a.p. reporters is that this in ministration which has already waged a larger war against more whistleblowers than any other in u.s. history has continued to push the envelope and try

so it's hard to forecast those precise events. >> do you think that -- you're in norman, oklahoma. you're in part of the country that is really frequently affected by these types of storms even if they're not all as big as this one today. do you feel like we as americans are making all the strides that we can ready to making storms like this more survivable? are there things that we could be doing in terms of the way we live, in terms of zoning and technology that could help more people survive more incidents like this? >> certainly technology can help us. for instance in my house, we did an addition on to the house several years ago and the wa walk-in closet is a storm shelter. it has concrete walls. that that goes, that's an event we haven't seen before. so the technology exists. always a question of whether it's economically affordable. in the case of our addition, it added a couple thousand to the cost, but if i would have tried to retrofit the old house, it would cost a lot more money. >> dr. brooks, thanks for helping us understand it. appreciate it. [ female announcer ] love

[applause] >> thank you, norman solomon. i want to ask a quick question for final comments. a bunch of us have touched on it already, the problem of journalists putting partisanship ahead of principle. that is the idea that if you have a president you prefer over the other guy and that president is in power that perhaps you need your voice. any final comments on that problem? when michael tore wrote an open letter president obama about the escalation of the afghan war. it was a surprise. respectivese greatly of michael's work, but i think many on the left were mistakenly caught off guard by obama's escalation of the afghan war. he campaigned on it. that was the central aspect of his foreign-policy platform when he first ran for office, escalating the afghan war while drawing down the iraq war. i think we should not have been in any way surprised, saddened, disappointed when he did exactly that. in one sense, he's broken many promises, but he kept that one promise he made. i also want to mention that when i was talking about the folks who did do very good coverage of the afgh
