also, the nfl this morning, once again, closed for business. the player lockout was lifted this week, but last night, a federal court made a different decision and once again, the doors are closed. but, right now, we do need to start with that trail of devastation across the south. they are still searching this morning for people buried in the rubble alive or dead. take a look now at the toll from these storms. we got some updates just overnight and this morning that at least 342 people have been killed across six states. that makes this outbreak the second deadliest tornado outbreak in u.s. history. by far, the worst hit state was alabama. at least 254 people killed there. still we have hundreds of people unaccounted for. but part of that could be because people are scattered after the storm, they're in shelters, power down, people maybe haven't been able to reconnect and communicate. just how historic are these storms? we were talking about. try this. 211 tornadoes associated with this one outbreak. that number makes this the largest outbreak in u.s. history. we have heard it all before when it comes to a tornado, you're supposed to get into the basement. if you don't have one, get into an interior room, maybe get into a tub. try to cover up. well, some people apparently took that advice during these tornadoes. our reynolds wolf on the scene in tuscaloosa, alabama. i know you have this story for us, but it's never a bad time to remind people exactly what are you supposed to do when you hear that there is a tornado warning? >> well, the first thing you're supposed to do is seek shelter as you mentioned. the safest place to be would really be underground. if you have a cellar, a basement that is the spot to be, away from any of the possible debris or the strongest winds of these immense tornadoes. the amazing thing is, though, t.j. as you mentioned, over the last couple days the death and destruction, but at the same time, out of all the wreckage we're getting these amazing stories of survival. stories of survival that come from some of the most unlikely sos. in this particular situation, from this bathtub. >> when i went outside and looked this way, you know, the tornado was just filled the horizon. just a spot of daylight on either side and the rest was a wall of tornado. there was -- you couldn't see anything. it was coming directly at me. and that's when i ran back into the house and attached the dogs to me, grabbed the motorcycle and put it on and i got in the tub. the ground was rumbling and then the house started to shake violently and i knew at that point i was going to get just directly hit. it's kind of just a surreal thing. i am not in a tornado. it just doesn't seem like that should happen. and -- but, you know, being inside the bathroom, which had no windows, i thought i'm going to get trapped in this little room and, you know, i didn't know if it was the right thing to do, but maybe if i open the door i'll have an escape hatch. when i opened the door the front of the house flew away and then that krispy kreme truck sailed through upside down through the living room and then the roof blew off and i ducked down and pushed the dogs down as best as i could inside the it tub but at that point, the back of the house also blew out and the dogs got sucked out. they were like kites on a string. you know, but they were tethered to me on their leashes. i was able to hang on to them and push them down. and then the rest of the house just fell on us. >> okay. so t.j., chris came out of this bathtub, he had the motorcycle helmet, the wherewithall to put on when he saw the tornado, got out, had his two jack russell terriers with him. he said the moment he got away from this tub and walking out, a loud crash and boom. that came from this truck. this truck fell out of the sky. the tornado had passed, crossed mcfarland boulevard, was moving farther off towards the east and over the top of the the tornado came these trucks, this giant truck landed with a loud crash. he had the one week that he mentioned went through his living room, from the krispy kreme doughnuts, this one came after the tornado had passed, and obviously it's just a perplpe perplexing that the guy survived. how do you come to terms with a thing like that? it's amazing. over 200 people in alabama that have passed away, over 300 around the region, and every now and again you find a story of an amazing, compelling story of survival like chris's. it's really hard it to believe. t.j. >> all right. reynolds wol with one of those good stories. alabama hardest hit here. we'll be continuing to check in with you throughout this morning and again reynolds giving us the view from alabama there. there were five other states hit hard by these storms. take a look at these pictures and we want you to hear from some of these survivors. this is coming to us from northwestern georgia. this is near ringgold. more than a dozen people killed by the storms in georgia. homes, businesses blown apart by these tornadoes. >> couldn't compare to nothing i've ever seen in my lifetime. my dad is 41 and he couldn't compare it to anything in his lifetime. it was bad. >> at that point you don't know what to do. do you run for cover? what do you do? you don't know how far it is, how close it is, because it's new to us. we don't see stuff like that around here. >> my dad was in the house with my son and they were both flown and scattered through this debris and they were found down in the creek. >> just a miracle. there's no way we should have made it through that. >> also, pictures to give you here from camp creek, tennessee, east of knoxville, near the virginia border. storm claimed at least 34 lives in tennessee. the lucky folks, if you can call them the lucky ones who escaped with their lives, now they're left to sift through the rubble of their homes. >> here it came and it just, everything was hitting the building and the building even lifted up and back down. i've got some of our clothes and stuff, but some of them as you can see, back through the trees and i found -- i have a lock box, a fire safe box i keep their birth certificates and everything in, so i have that. >> also, smithville, mississippi, this is a pigly wiggly a grocery store, what's left of it. the owner of the store trying to help his neighbors, giving away what's left to the community. he spoke to our martin savidge. >> the store has been pulverized. >> totally devastated. total loss. >> what do you think as a businessman? >> it's scary, you know, anything to come back to in this town. i'm sure all of the businesses that are, you know, having that same thought too. >> this stuff here, this is all being given away? >> yes. >> why? >> that's what you do in a small town community, help people out. these are real good people in this small town and they all want to help each other. i know a lot of people that's passed, so it hurts. but we'll move home. that's what we got to do. >> a lot of these communities that were devastated were those small communities where everybody knows everybody. we will continue to bring you their stories and update you as we continue here we are several days after this outbreak, still starting to get a good handle on just how historic and devastating it, in fact, was. of course, yesterday, a lot of people keeping an eye on the royal wedding. dozens of people were arrested yesterday following that wedding. 60 seconds i'll have details on the charges. plus, a message to business owners. if you see an employee sleeping on the job, reward them. that's because a new study says taking a nap at work can improve a worker's performance. call your boss, send them an e-mail maybe, it's a little early. no matter what you do, tell them to get up and watch this story. also, playstation's breach of privacy. personal information exposed for millions of customers, could you be one of the 70 plus million? my so it can hold work files, pictures, videos, music. whatever you need. and this is just the keyboard. all my stuff stays on the phone when i pull it off the lapdock. so it's a computer that's a phone. or a phone that's a computer, really, either way is correct. well, which is it, sir?

longer work days, perhaps, longer commutes, and shorter turnaround times. >> fur yes a really serious about giving your workers enough time to get eight hours of sleep, and -- which is about ideal for an adult, you should give them 12 hours off between shifts. this would give them enough time to commute to eat to bathe, to socialize with their friends and family, to unwind, watch tv, relax, read the paper. do all those things that they want to do. if you don't give them enough time to do those things and sleep, it's going to cut into their sleep time. >> reporter: for sleep deprived, who works two jobs, she says they'll continue to make the investment for a quick nap. at the end of the year when i do my taxes i look at it and i sort of think to myself, i really spent money on napping but at -- on the other hand, it works. >> reporter: it's probably wishful thinking to having sleeping pods and soothing music at cnn. no napping on the job here. i'll stick to having my cup of coffee. t.j., back to you. >> yes. wishful thinking my dear, sandra. thank you for that. a hacker has crippled the sony playstation network. that is now compromising the personal information of millions of subscribers. we are talking more than 70 million folks here. now even if you're not a gamer, sdrou something to worry about?

about the security leak. it's one of the largest breaches of confidential user info ever. look at that, folks. we talk about names, e-mail addresses, passwords, even credit card information. stolen by hackers. as many as 70 million people subscribe to the playstation network. our digital lifestyle expert mario armstrong here this morning. good to see you here. help people put this in perspecti perspective. are we just talking about gamers, would they be the only ones that have their information on this network? >> no. i'm so glad you realize this and pulled this out. so many people think it's just a gamer issue and it's not. we're talking about people that also use sony internet connected televisions. i have one in my house and enjoy it, but right now i can't enjoy the network, meaning i can't get to netflix, i can't get to hulu, can't download movies, tv shows and on-line music and other entertainment i'm used to having because that sony playstation network is down. it affects more than just gamers. >> i was worried that people hear it and hear playstation and that's just those gamers and that's certainly not the case. what do we know about the possibility and how many possible credit card numbers were actually stolen? >> so, sony's been on record saying, and i give them credit for kind of at least coming forward and saying we did get breached, we don't know if credit card data was stolen but we want you to be aware of it so you can take precautions. >> a lot of people said they were late? >> in terms of making that known. look when you're doing forensics in terms of what did get hacked and what was accessed, sometimes you need a little time. i can't say did they take longer than they should have. it appears to be that way in public opinion. certainly suggests so when you look at the timeline of events. i will tell you, they did say that credit card data was encrypted. that does not mean it cannot be hacked. on-line clatter right now, i cannot verify this, on-line chatter in hacker forums says that about 2.1 million credit cards were obtained. again, i have not -- there's no evidence out there that suggests this is real information yet. >> mario, who did this? how savvy, how tech savvy, would somebody have to be to pull off something of this magnitude? >> you know, it all depends on the infrastructure of the network. sony and any other company that has information would put several layers in place, but it seems like it was done through playstation 3. i cannot verify that yet. it seems that hackers and other researchers are suggesting that the actual playstation console was maybe the weakest link in the security and that's how they got access. >> when is this network going to be back up? do we have any idea yet? what's sony telling us? >> we don't have any idea yet. what we did hear lately is sony chairman is actually going to speak formally to tokyo journalists tomorrow, this will be the first appearance by the sony chairman to talk about exactly what's happened and give us more details as to the state of when we can expect things to come back up. look the u.s. government, taipei, taipei and ta wan, sent letters to sony and said we want answers by may 6th, tell us something and how this happened and how are you going to plan to compensate users that have been affected. >> all right. we'll see what happens here. man, when you hear 70 million folks could be affected by this, that leaves you scratching your head. >> check your credit cards. cancel that credit card. >> make more complicated we put

deadliest single day tornado outbreak in u.s. history. it doesn't take long, folks, some say a matter of seconds, how long it takes for a tornado to completely just destroy a house. that was the story for so many people across the south. they lost so much. we have seen the pictures. now we are hearing the stories. and randy is on line with me now. he made it through the storm in alabama, joins me on the phone, randy, sir, good morning. we appreciate you being here and willing to share your story. just how bad off and how bad is the damage to your home? is there much left? >> no, sir. it's destroyed. it's not just my home alone, it's -- we didn't take a direct hit but i think the outer band winds just, we were on the north side and the west side, is where all the deadly area. my father-in-law across the street, he had a brick home wiped out. his pick-up was taken over to the neighbor's yard and destroyed and we were really concerned about him, getting to him. we couldn't get to him for several hours because of the search team rescue team efforts trying to clear the debris out. they wouldn't let us move at all. yesterday at 4:30, we went in because the team efforts were trying to locate the injured, you know, and the deceased with dogs. we didn't have much time to go through there and pick out anything to try to salvage anything or give anybody any kind of idea what all we've lost or had. it's still just total devastation for us. trauma of it is unbelievable. >> randy, we're looking at your pictures that you sent to us as we're talking to you here. your home didn't make it through it, but your family did. how were you all able it to do that? >> the noaa alarm weather system helped us and it went off and we knew, they said tornado was in the area, take cover, we went downstairs and at that time, we were prepared to get in our place of, you know, shelter, opened up the middle door, double door garage we have, has, you know, a door and i walked out and saw the brief line from out of nowhere hitting homes, big chunks of wood, i knew it was close, but i didn't realize how close. >> randy, you told me, i was talking to you during the commercial break, you said you're from the south, from this area. i'm from arkansas. i have been through my whole life tornado warnings, watches, and know what to do, where to go, and all of this, but when did you know during this storm that something was different from other warnings and other bad storms and even other tornadoes that have come through? >> well, the wind and the, you know, the atmosphere has changed so different than it was muggy and could not hear nothing and, you know, it's hard to explain the wind was blowing in several different directions and then it would stop and then it would -- it would be sunny one second and then, you know, cloudy again and what got me was the debris falling from the air and the skies. then we turned and looked and saw nothing but black, a black wall west of us, a mile wide tornado, at least. the center of it looked sort of kind of colored white and all i could do is hear the rumble and the sound of the storm. it was 180 mile track is what the -- i heard from the news last night, local news. 180 miles. >> well -- that's a long distance from one corner of alabama to the other. >> it is, randy, and you were right smack dab in the middle of it. this is a storm that some believe could have been on the ground for some 200 miles in a straight line and you all got hit there. but mr. guyton i appreciate you taking the time to speak with us. you're staying with your sister right now, but these stories are important to get out for the country to understand what you all are going through here in the south and just how historic this thing was. i appreciate your time and sir, good luck to you and your family. you're going to rebuild and get back on your feet, but i know it's tough right now. thank you for your time. >> you bet. thank you. >> all right. i want to turn to bonnie schneider here now. i don't know if you heard, but the part that just warms your heart there, and you all preach it all the time, he said, we had our noaa weather radio and it went off, that alerted us, we got to safety. >> that's true. i've interviewed some survivors that say they heard a difference in the intensity of the message that was being delivered by the meteorologist, that his voice was so serious and strong you take cover now. this is a large tornado. i think that message coming across having the batteries in place and your noaa weather radio on overnight is important during severe weather season. another severe weather threat we're tracking this morning here on cnn is the threat for flooding. arkansas saw very damaging storms and brought a lot of water on the roads and unfortunately people were trying to cross the roads when looking at a lot of wet weather. the threat for flooding continues into areas of arkansas as well as further to the north. see these flood watches and advisories posted through the midwest because the rivers are swelling, particularly into the missouri and indiana area, and we're expecting more rain as the stationary front will linger over the weekend and will make matters worse. watch out for wet conditions there. and if that's not enough, wait until you see what's happening into north dakota. heavy thunderstorms to the east in minnesota, but where the air is cold enough, it is all snow. i'm not just talking about snow falling from the sky, but snow blowing sideways, meaning a blizzard warning in place for parts of north dakota and montana. up to nine inches of snow, wind gusts up to 50 miles per hour. it's going to be blustery and difficult to see. white house conditions are expected. northern plains into north dakota do see winter lingering into the snow season with snowfall expected but this has been an unusually snowy winter for places like bismarck. we've seen about 83 inches of snow so far this season. making it the snowiest one so far. another perspective to show you, 22,000 miles above the earth we are tracking pictures from nasa showing us the tornado outbreak as the satellite takes the temperature of the high cloud tops, why it's bright white here, see the sharp contrast of air. there's the tornadoes ripping across alabama, mississippi into tennessee. a different perspective from space, but it really does show you how intense these storms were. t.j. >> bonnie schneider keeping an eye on things, good to have you with us this weekend,

take a look at what we're talking about here. they were flashy in some instances, some were elegant, some were strange, confusing, some didn't look like hats. nadya here to walk me through this. and understand it's a tradition. >> absolutely. you think hats started off as purely functional, then they became a status symbol and then a uniform, the pill box hat a uniform and then an art form. we're seeing hats elevated to the form of art. by the way, a millioner is a person who makes hat for women and hat maker makes hats for men. >> i learn something every day from you. >> they are elevating this. look at the colors, the structure. both vertical lines and horizontal lines. you get the traditional hat that has a brim and then you get the primless hat. now what you're looking at is a hat with a brim. many of the women did wear traditional brimmed hats. some people like victoria beckham, posh spice, wore a version of the pill box hat or brimless hat. if you look at the structure of that hat, it was extraordinary. it was designed by a very famous millioner in london, philip treacy. >> how is it staying in place?

she couldn't just probably take that off. >> probably spent a fair amount of time putting it in the exact place. it may appear strange but when you understand what philip treacy and other designers are trying to do, taking a traditional hat and saying let's have a bet, but some people may have taken it too far. perhaps eugenie and beatrice took it a little far in what they did. again, they've been severely criticized. that was making taking architectural design to a new plane. let's face it, t.j., everybody knows at an important occasion you should wear a hat. >> okay. i have to go, but ten seconds here, the one person who didn't wear one yesterday. >> well, there i showed you, important occasions. everyone should wear a hat. >> that's you there. look at nadya. >> i said everybody should wear a hat. samantha cameron should have known better, should have known this was an occasion to wear a hat. not specified in the actual invitation, it didn't say women should wear a hat, men should wear a morning coat, but she had flowers in her hair and a clip, but she broke tradition. she didn't break a law. you're supposed to have your head covered in the eyes of god in a church but it's not law breaking. tradition breaking. >> you should have let me know. we have that picture and we'll wrap up here, but our nadya and a lot of people may not realize how some south african roots, there she is sitting next to nelson mandela. >> wearing a hat. a beautiful hat. and really in the company of greatness. >> that's a great picture. nadya, we appreciate you as always. a quarter of the top of the hour. quick break. we're back on this saturday morning. all right. the nfl lockout is back on. after a federal appeals court reversed an earlier ruling the announcement coming at the same time the league was holdinging its annual draft. ray d'alessio our buddy joining me. i was going to bed last night, lockout was lifted. woke up, the lockout is back on. what happened last night? >> think about how the teams and the players were feeling at the nfl draft last night when they got the news that lockout was back on. i mean this really has a dramatic effect on these players that were drafted. you think about it, now they cannot talk to their teams, they can't go to the facilities, they can't negotiate contracts, including, you know, this year's first round pick or top overall pick cam newton picked up by the carolina panthers. the first round picks selected thursday night, they made out great because they were able to go back, because when they were drafted there was no lockout, they were able to go into the facilities on friday be introduced to the media, meet their coaches. now, they can't meet with the coaches but still get to keep the playbooks unlike the guys drafted in the second round and throughout the weekend. >> we're back to -- so much confusion. >> we're going to have more on the legal angle. sunny hostin coming up going to break some of that down. something else here. tweeting gets guys in trouble. what they say sometimes can just -- then they have to go back and apologize and sometimes it can get you fined, but now it can get you more than that. >> fined and suspended too. we're talking about chicago white sox manager ozzy guillen, got video on wednesday he gets into an argument with one of the -- home plate umpire, gets into an argument, gets tossed from the game. after the game, he's in the club louse and he tweets, this is going to cost me a lot of money. this is pathetic. moments later he says, today a tough guy showed up at yankee stadium referring to the umpire. major league baseball says no, that is a violation of the social media policy and regulations regarding the use of electronic equipment during the game, so they suspended guillen for two games, fined him an undisclosed amount of money. guillen says i'm not going to stop tweeting. i've been tweeting two years, not going to stop tweeting but not during a game. >> how much was it him doing it during the game versus the content as well some. >> it was a mixture of both. and again, you know, whether it's major league baseball, the nba, nfl, don't like when you blast the officials. they had to come down and crack down. >> best thing ever happened, for ozzy geen to get on twitter. >> when people ask me about you, i don't tweet about you. i tell them in person. >> appreciate that. good to see you as always. we'll talk to you again soon. we are going to be talking about the lockout with sunny hosten in a second. another case she's going to be taking with me, a trip to the new york city library. got a little more interesting, didn't it? you can now watch anything you want on the computers there. no matter who's looking. you can even watch hard core pornography. they say it's a matter of your legal rights.

>> well, on monday, the court is -- this is just a temporary stay. the court will decide whether or not the stay will be in place for six to eight weeks while this appeal by the nfl goes forward. so we'll know by monday whether or not this is just a quick stay or really long stay. i will say the quick stay wasn't unexpected, people like myself watching this knew that would happen. whether or not this is going to be a stay for number two months is another question. >> okay. we will stand by on that one. again, the back and forth continues. another story to know whether or not the gods will work out. everybody is on standby not sure what to do. this other story if we can about what's happening in the high brarryes in new york. you can -- they have access, walk in, get a library card, use the computers but no p restrictions on what you can look at on the computers and that includes pornography? >> that's right. it's really horrifying because i'm in new york and i'm a mom and i take my kids to the library all the time and the new york public libraries have a policy in place, we're not going to put these internet filters in because of first amendment and free speech. i disagree with that. i think they got it wrong. the supreme court agrees with me because the supreme court said computer filters are completely appropriate if you have a policy in place where patron comes in and wants to watch some porn, and then disable the filters the patron can ask for that. i think what's so difficult about it is people are hiding this issue behind the first amendment but not all information is the same. i mean why don't the porn that want to watch porn at a library which is kind of -- why don't they sort of have their room as as opposed to children having to have their own room. >> but sunny, you say -- >> [ inaudible ] got it wrong. >> sunny, on that point you make, though, if someone wants to have the filter removed, that doesn't necessarily stop them from or somebody who's walking by from seeing it. right? so still, it's a matter of you being about to watch it in the public library. >> that's true. some libraries have these little screens on the side but i've spoken to a couple people that say they've heard the porn on the monitor which is terrible. it's an issue that american library association has been fighting for quite some time and they are in support of allowing porn in libraries. it's something that i'm going to be watching, t.j., because people just seem to want to watch porn in the library. >> one last thing. do this in about 20 seconds. if you restrict porn isn't the question and issue people wonder, what else can you put restrictions on and that's where the first amendment and free speech comes into play? >> sure. but that's just making this issue such a broad issue. we're talking about porn and there are technologies now in place and you can block out porn. you can block out that hard core porn. that's just not an argument that really cuts the legal muster. >> you new yorkers. i will stay out of the public libraries up there. i swear. . interesting topic. good to see you. we will catch you again soon. enjoy your weekend. the faa right now under fire, they've been under fire for a string of incidents which could have compromised the safety of many including the first lady. now the faa is training replacements for thousands of air traffic controllers facing mandatory retirement. we find out what those student controllers are learning at the top of the hour. duty calls out in the neighborhood, and you're the guy that answers. that's why you rely on chevy. because every new silverado caries a 100,000 mile powertrain warranty. that's 40,000 more than the ford f-150. the 2011 chevy silverado. and now, combine the all-star edition discount with other offers for a total value of $6,000. donald trump, what et he saying now? a couple of four-letter words. "f" bombs in particular. he is getting riled up about china, saudi arabia, you name it, but he went a little far in dropping those bombs in front of a women's group. keeping you safe in the skies. we've been hearing about sleeping air traffic controllers but there may be more concerns as the faa looks to put new controllers in that hot seat. hey, everybody, from the cnn center in atlanta, georgia, i'm t.j. holmes this is your "cnn saturday morning." 9:00 in atlanta, 8:00 in tuscaloosa, wherever you may be, we're glad you're here. we need to start with the trail of destruction across the south. still searching this morning for people possibly buried in the rubble. take a look now at the toll from these storms. 342 people killed across six states. that number was updated in the past several hours, updated overnight as well. with that number, 342 killed, this makes this outbreak the second deadliest tornado outbreak in u.s. history. by far the worst hit state, alabama. 254 killed there. there are still hundreds of people unaccounted for, hopefully we're thinking for the most part could be because people are scattered after the storm, power out in some places and people haven't been able to reconnect. we are just starting to understand the full scope of these storms and they were historic. 211 tornadoes in all. that would make it the most in one outbreak ever. communities across the south wondering what's next now. their homes, businesses, are gone. wiped out. by these tornadoes. take a look at what's left now of the alberta baptist church in tuscaloosa, alabama. it stands in the alberta neighborhood, alberta city what it's called. an ef-5 tornado with winds from 150 to 200 miles an hour ripped through the area and just tore up everything. >> i walked around and i seen places that i would never think would come down would come down. churches, cars, flipped over, smashed, balled up, all types of things. >> we got to the church and all i could do was sit, just go to my knees and start crying. because i know it's a building, but it's all we've ever known. >> the southern storm swept through six states. nowhere was any place harder hit than tuscaloosa. 45 people killed in and around that area. satellite image here, i want to show you, shows the extent of the damage before and now the after picture. it's just amazing to see. also take a look at this part here. you see all the green around, you can see, we have these satellite images that show us a straight line pretty much, where this tornado ripped through. one line and everything in that one line pretty much has been wiped out. our reynolds wolf is in tuscaloosa for us this morning. reynolds, you've been reporting there the past couple days. you know what, tell me about the ef-5, first of all. we hear how strong this storm was. give me historical perspective on a storm that strong? >> no problem, t.j. when we refer to the ef scale, that is basically a scale based upon damage for tornadoes, and it's called the enhanced fujita scale, ef 0 to ef-5, most tornadoes fall in the range of ef 0 to ef-3 which can cause damage but they're usually very weak, don't last long, only a few seconds they dissipate. rarely will you have the stronger tornadoes, the ef-4 or 5s and those are incomprehensible damage, especially the ef-5s, it's difficult for the atmosphere to provide the kind of energy needed it create these powerful tornadoes. unfortunately they occasionally occur and this is what we believe was a type of tornado that caused the damage across parts of mississippi, alabama and other parts of the southeast. this one had winds possibly in excess of 300 miles per hour. if you want to see the type of damage it can do, you can find it all across parts of the south, especially here in tuscaloosa, alabama. it tj, three days ago, people coming to this parking lot in tuscaloosa and go to this krispy kreme doughnut, owned by one of our new friends evan smith. out of respect for mr. smith we're not going to walk into his place, but the door used to be right here. that door now just bits and pieces of shattered glass. inside, just devastation. you can see the counter, see the sign in the background, krispy kreme doughnuts. you see the sign above that, handwritten where it says, will be back. that's kind of a testament to the spirit of mr. smith but representative of the spirit of the people of the great state of alabama. it's my home state, very proud of these folks. they're going to rebound, but they're going to do so with heavy hearts. as we pan over a bit more to our, i guess, our right, don't know my right from left this morning, you might imagine more of the damage from some of these ovens over here, the roof damage caved in. take a look at the sign right here. jonathan scherer is our photo journalist, get a shot of the sign. crews out and about this morning checking out every single thing from light poles to this used to have a big advertisement on the top, testing the strength, fortitude because these were battered by the strong winds. if they think it's strong enough to stay up and won't provide a safety hazard it stay, otherwise it goes down. john stay here for a second. run over here for a moment. also show you the power of this, t.j., this used to be a giant krispy kreme sign standing up maybe up to about 30, 40 feet in height, all that pushed down by the strong winds blowing in this direction. behind that, beyond this, behind the parking lot, devastation but then at the very top of the hill in i don't know if you can get a shot of that, the regional medical center. believe it or not unscathed, undamaged from this mammoth tornado. back to you, t.j. >> reynolds that is unreal. that krispy kreme sign you're showing us, those poles just bent over like that, it's amazing what these storms are able to do, reynolds. we appreciate you. i know this is close to your heart. that is your home state as i know, but we appreciate you being there. has to be a little sur real to be there. thanks so much. >> you bet. >> rainsville, alabama, that's another spot there that's actually on the other end of the state from tuscaloosa. it, too, was in the path of that same tornado. the same tornado that we've said was an ef-5 twister. it stretched some 200 miles, but here we are just days later after that storm, and in rainsville, alabama, they're already rebuilding. >> went to school here and graduated from here, so, you know, it's kind of emotional. but i think we're just going to do the best we can and we can overcome it. it's just a shock. just a shock to see just what devastation it's done to this school campus and not only that, but the communities around us. >> never seen anything like this in my life, never. i don't know what to expect one day to the next. no power for weeks they said. no gas everywhere. big mess. >> you wake up and it's just gone. everything's just completely vanished. everything you knew your whole life. >> we're a real close community. you know, everybody is good to each other. we try to help out as much as we can. and as far as i know, when we get done, you know, with some of our own stuff, we're going to help others. we're getting it all done as much as we can. >> it brings a lot of people together. it's something that's -- it's just a disaster now any way you look at it. a lot of communities have gone through this all over the united states and you've got a lot of help coming in from all over the south. so we're going to make it. we're going to do fine. >> amazing to hear that days after one of the worst outbreaks of tornados in this country's history. man can say we're going to be fine. 10 past the hour. turn to bonnie schneider, keeping an eye on something else, nasty rain. we have flooding, this is serious stuff going on in arkansas. >> arkansas, t.j. a lot of flooding there, strong storms rolled through and the flood threat will push from arkansas through the midwest. take a look at pictures out of the arkansas area and a lot of the roads were covered with water, making it difficult to pass. so for those of you traveling today, look at the flood advisories all the way from little rock straight up to detroit. but i think the worst will be in parts of the midwest. here's the pictures i was talking about from our i-report. you can see that people are doing what you're not supposed to do, driving across water covered roads because it only takes six inches even to dislodge an suv. see that car there, that car is stuck and it's very important to know what to do if you ever are in a flash flood. you want to make sure your windows are down immediately because you might lose power in your car and get out of the car if you can and get to a safer, higher ground. as we look at the precipitation across much of the country, we're looking at heavy rain working through minnesota and then as you travel to the west, you see this, a little white stuff on the map, that's right. it is snow. it may be the end of the month, beginning of spring, beginning of may. what we're looking at unfortunately is a blizzard. whiteout conditions. snow falling possibly accumulates to nine inches of snow and blowing and gusty winds up to 50 miles per hour. maybe 55. it's going to be treacherous across parts are of the northern plains. we're tracking pretty much everything from fire danger in the southwest to flooding in the midwest, and finally the blizzard conditions across the northern plains. it's really a fascinating day in extreme weather, t.j. the temperatures down in texas so hot in the 90s and talking about a blizzard in the northern part of the country. a little bit of everything. >> bonnie schneider we appreciate you as always. you have seen these headlines, air traffic controllers falling asleep on the job, that has some questioning their schedules. also others questioning how they're being trained. we take you inside an faa training center you'll see for yourself. plus, is this any way for a potential presidential candidate to talk? >> listen you mother [ bleep ] we're going to tax you

cnn casey wians finds out for us. >> this may look like a grown man playing with a model airplane but he's an instructor at the faa's traffic control training facility and this is their low-tech classroom. a scale model of an airport runway with all kinds of different aircraft. do you think the traveling public would be surprised that the air traffic controllers who are directing their flights in and out of airports are actually learning to do it with model airplanes? >> i would say probably 80% of our time spent on the job training plugged in working live traffic. here's an opportunity where we can use simulation training and it gives us an opportunity to stop problems, set up different scenarios we might not see while doing live training in the field. >> reporter: the faa is six years into a 14-year push to train 20,000 air traffic controllers to replace those facing mandatory retirement. >> the stutss off -- students have more trouble with the language. we give them a phraseology to get them used to the language of air traffic control. >> reporter: twin cessna one two eight charlie cross runway. we find that out firsthand trying to operate the high-tech simulator. >> american 2156 tower line up and wait. >> i messed up there. i forget to tell them the runway. >> not too bad. that's minor. >> disconcerting how difficult it is students come in having as much trouble as i do. by the time you get them out of here they're ready to go? >> our purpose is to screen and can they be trained out in the field. we don't make an air traffic controller in seven weeks. we can't do that. >> reporter: one in five students don't complete the training. those who do must spend one to three years in a tower before fully certified. >> we've got the sophistication in terms of the technology, we've got the people that are experienced to be able to train the people that are coming in, so rest assured, that is occurring. >> reporter: and rest assured i won't be guiding your flight. casey wian, cnn, oklahoma city. he's a colorful guy with some colorful language, but is that colorful language appropriate if you're running for president of the united states?

>> i was surprised by the number of people they were able to get there, hundreds of people turning out for this. again i think that shows that they're just yearning for a different voice than the usual ones that are out there the mitt romney, the tim pawlenty and so on. i was actually quite surprised how the crowd was feeding off of what he was saying. but, you know, he is as the president alluded to, a carnival barker and he can achieve that kind of result in an isolated time. i cannot believe that donald trump is going to get a lot of votes going out in every speech dropping "f" bombs. i don't believe it. >> reporter: mary snow, cnn, new york. he was there speaking in las vegas at a reception that was put on by two republican women's groups. now trump is supposed to also drive the pace car at this year's indianapolis 500. this memorial day weekend. would you believe some people not too happy about that. one guy has started a facebook page called "we don't want donald trump to drive the indy 500 pace car." has a ring to it, doesn't it?
