effort here. and we do not yet know the full extent of the damage. now that we have first light, crews should expect to find out more about it throughout the day. search and rescue teams are going door to door to find out if there were any people trapped in their homes. we did get reports of rescue teams having to go in and get some of those people, jeff. back to you. >> gabe gutierrez, thank you for that report. bill karins we had 13 straight days of tornadoes. a stretch for people living in the affected region. >> may is typically our most active tornado month, but we had day after day after day. we had at least eight to ten tornado reports for the longest stretch we've ever seen. there are unusual aspects of this. when you combine this, the tornadoes with all the rare flooding and flash flooding problems we have. this is a multi-billion dollar disaster that we're in the middle of and not over yet. >> yes. we can even add up at this point how many houses have been lost
