contact a loved one, there is such a scene of chaos here i would like for them to still have hope they may see that loved one alive. when we tour the damage and just on that side down the hill, there is nothing there. we are told that when you look there you can see the horizon for miles. we're told that they were giant homes and big apartment complexes and big shopping centers. that number at 116 about doesn't surprise me and do i believe it might be higher? personally, piers, i think it really might be. >> sam, we can see the weather conditions with you now are atrocious. we hear there's a 45% chance of another tornado hitting joplin, which would be an appalling new blow for them but we hear there are threats of tornadoes in wider area to dallas and other cities, kansas, i'm hearing. what are you picking up or what do you think will happen over the next few hours? >> reporter: what we've seen is there's a stationary front
