southern washington county, maryland. western fredrick county, maryland. northern jefferson county in west virginia, and southern berkley county in west virginia. take you to the live radar here, show you where we're talking about on the storms. notice in the upper right-hand corner of your screen here we're zooming in to the panhandle of west virginia. this is the cell that we're watching very, very carefully right in here. right here just up to the north sides of charles town, west virginia, when i put this little circle on here where you can see the red touching the green, that's where red winds are going towards and away touching one another. as a result this is the area right in here, just to the north of charles town, west virginia, where there is a potential radar-indicated tornado on the ground at this point in time. this storm is traveling to the northeast at 40 miles per hour. so i'll put a storm track on it for you here so you can sort of see the towns that are in the line of fire, as you were. as we go up to the northeast, at about 40 miles per hour, we're going to be able to see that t

you said she is a tobacco farmer in southern virginia but a little bit more information. >> she came from -- she worked the same farm land her ancestors farmed as slaves. they were a very impoverished family for generations. and she moved up to baltimore in the 40's because they had tobacco firms that dried up and her husband found work in baltimore so that is how she ended up. and she had five kids by the time she died at 30, and she was just this caretaker. she wanted more children. she was very devoted to her kids. she was also a person if he were in baltimore and didn't have money and needed a place to stay use lead on her floor and if you're hungry there was a pot of food on the stove and she would feed you, if she needed a girlfriend and she would find you one. she was like a super bomb to everyone. so for her family the fact that her cells are taken care of by so many people and have helped so many people makes sense in terms of her personality and what she would have done. her family sees five cells as henrietta, they believe that her soul is very much alive in the cells and

i don't know if any parent had a kid on the bus out in southern virginia, but we avoided those areas, but were still trying to go do a lot of the same things, and -- i hope that helped. i was trying to make it as specific as i could. i think we have time for more. >> just from the standpoint of covering this story, obviously, it was something that needed to be done. from looking at a broadcast media perspective, where you have a lot of managers, editors, people like that sitting around newsrooms, watching tv's, they all see what one another are covering, do you see them as going maybe beyond covering this story and reacting to one another, kind of create willing a feeding frenzy? >> yeah. it's a really -- it's really something that theoretically, should be in the book that's not in the book. it's the thing most often asked, do they feed on each other, do they build on each other, and the answer is for sure, but finding out about that proved to be very difficult. i wish i had made more of an effort. here's what i would experience with i talked to journalists. i interviewed about 75 jou

there were no more games out in southern virginia. but we avoided those areas but still trying to do a lot of the same things. i hope that helps. that is as specific as i can make. i think we of time for a couple more. >> from the standpoint of covering the story obviously it was something that needed to be done. from looking at the broadcast media perspective where you have a lot of managers, editors, people like that's been around as rim's watching tv and they all seem piquancy what they are covering. do you see them going on covering the story and reacting to one another creating a feeding frenzy? it's really something that theoretically should be in the book but it's not in the book. it's the thing most often asked. do they feed on each other, do they built on the each other for sure. here's what i experienced when i taught to journalist interviewed about 75 journalists. i would say why did you write so and so and they would say i wrote what? in the meantime the had written -- it was on the eight months later they had written 200

near 60 to mid 60s in southern and southeastern virginia.on this monday morning the weather we had overnight, there go the storms, way up over cape cod. we had this area of low pressure circulating over the ohio valley. that's going to be drifting down by later this afternoon. that is what may gave us more showers and some storms. meanwhile, if you're traveling today, there could be flight delays up and down the atlantic seaboard from washington to boston from that storm system as well as the pacific northwest, there's going to be another storm coming in there. for us today we might have a little sun breaking out this morning. by late morning and early afternoon maybe a shower and then thunderstorms may develop this afternoon winterly this evening. there's only a very small chance an isolated storm might produce hail or damaging winds. highs near 70. we might have lingering showers overnight tonight. we'll be nearby 50 by dawn tomorrow. during the day on tuesday, might have a lidgering shower in the morning, but then sun back in the afternoo

>> virginia was a southern state. confederate soldier was the person who defended that state against a huge invasion by the north. he hasn't been honored and it's very similar to what's happening today with the vietnam veteran. it's like a chapter of history has been erased. governor mcdonnell said it perfectly. there's education that will benefit everybody and tourism will help the state and make people money. the confederate soldier needs to be honored and remembered. >> what do you make of the governor's decision to add this anti slavery language to the proclamation today? >> as you can see from governor wilder's statement, it really doesn't matter if that's in there or not. he's still against it. that makes a good case, i think for the need for confederate history month, because the opposition, the people who are making the most noise about this don't even want to hear it. that's bad education. that doesn't move the ball forward. >> i think the point of my question though is don't you think that slavery ought to b

enough about virginia history to know that there really are two different ways that virginia has thought about its southern and one is kind of the thomas jefferson notion of virginia history. and obviously the thomas jefferson notion of virginia history includes slavery. there'd be no way to talk about jefferson without talking about slavery. but it is a tradition that is focused primarily on how virginia contributed to the founding of the nation. how someone who was himself a slaveholder wrote a document that wasn't a slave document but a free document, right? the declaration of independence, saying we have inalienable rights and helped to create the union. but then there's this other way that virginia history is sometimes presented in the schools and on monument avenue in richmond and on jefferson davis highway where i grew up, and that is a history that says what virginia is primarily is the site of massive resistance against the union, that it is the site where sort of brave soldiers came together to fight against this very thing that jefferson had sacrificed to create. so in both cases, there's slaver

it is the great thing that the government of virginia did when he declare confederate history month because now we have the opportunity to tell the southernch is never told. with that being the event of the industrial revolution. i'm surprised about in virginia because in virginia, up until the days of the war, those men in the legislatures of virginia working very hard to try to figure out a way to get real emancipation to the slaves. they knew a man was not free unless he had an ability to take care of himself, unless he had land, a home for shelter, and some money. and possibly some slaves of his own. i resent the fact that this man, i don't know where mr. martin is from, the north or where he's from, but it is the same that these folks give to the north that doesn't belong in the north. >> i believe roland is from the south. don't take it too literally. i think what roland meant was, had the south won that african-americans would not be in the same position that they are now, at least -- >> yes, he -- >> let me finish. i let you talk. i'll give you time. when it comes to civil rights, that's what the civil war was about. the south did
