tell you what they have seen and what stories they are facing, the difficulties they are facing. there's also new and dangerous storms out there tonight as the deadliest tornado season in half a century continues. significant destruction in bedford, indiana, a tornado hit just a short time ago. damaging or destroying several homes. no immediate word on injuries. we're keeping an eye on this. and bad weather all across the nation's midsection. there are tornado watches and warnings in effect from ohio down to texas. i want to show you a staggering piece of video from that deadly tornado in oklahoma. this could be the closest anyone has gotten to such a powerful twister and survived. take a look. >> it's crossing the road. >> slow down. get out your window, get out your window. >> watch behind you. >> oh, my god! back up. >> oh, no! >> just incredible. that tornado yesterday in oklahoma. here in joplin, 125 confirmed dead. that's the new number as of just a few hours ago, 125 confirmed dead and there is frustration about a lack of coordination and a sense of any one individual being in charge. we're keeping them honest on that tonight. john king joins me on the phone. gary tuchman has joins me. john, you met a family today who was at the morgue for a third day in a row, still can't get any news about their 12-year-old son. tell us what you saw, what you heard. >> anderson, their emotions are so raw, their frustration is so high. they're beginning to get angry. they don't want to be angry, because they know these people are trying to help them, but they're beginning to get so, so angry. they are tammy and tony. their 12-year-old son, a neighbor told them he saw the body and told them their son is dead. that's the hardest part, and he stood over the body and waited till an ambulance took it away. so they want to get to the morgue. they went to this office where they were told to go. three days they've come and brought pictures and filled out paperwork. three days in a row they've been told they can't do that. so they tried to bring us hoping maybe some media attention will help them. i want you to listen to just one exchange were they were told yet again, come inside, get in line, fill out the paperwork, but no, you can't bring that camera in. listen to this. >> how long is it going to be before anybody tells us anything about any of the bodies? is it going to be days before anybody knows? there's people sitting down there, you know, or wherever you guys are hiding them, that their bodies are just -- >> i can assure you -- >> i would like cnn be able to cover the fact that something needs to be done. the government needs to fix the problem. >> i can assure you that your loved one is being properly taken care of with the utmost respect and dignity, okay? i can assure you of that. >> john, i don't understand this. people want to know whether their child is alive or dead or if their child is at the morgue. why aren't they allowed to see who is at the morgue to identify bodies? >> they're told that the process requires them to do the paperwork first. one of the reasons we're told the governor is sending in extra personnel to help tonight, anderson. they went back in, they waited in line, filled out more paperwork today. they were told not today, not tomorrow, they were told it might be as much as two weeks before they get definitive word out of that morgue. they say we're not just arguing for our child but the hundreds of others who just want a process, just want information, just want to be able to find out whether their son is dead or alive. >> i don't understand, they said it's going to take two weeks for them to be able to go to the morgue and find out whether their child is there? i was in sri lanka after the tsunami and they would photograph those people who died in the storms and loved ones could look at the pictures and identify their loved ones. i don't understand why that can't happen here. >> they said it could be as long as two weeks. that is the frustration. the family just walked out of there shaking their heads in disbelief. they know they're not the only ones. i hit a roadblock trying to come in here, some new roadblocks. that is the frustration. they've gone back three days in a row. they say they get a different answer every time. sometime tells them a different process every time. sometime says we lost your paperwork or we sent your paperwork to the morgue. i was told by a state official that one of the reasons there's such a delay is because the morgue made a mistake in identifying somebody the very first time out and they panicked and pulled back. so now they have a process that's meticulous. i'm also told that's one of the reasons the governor decided today to send in an additional 20 state troopers to say you need -- they understand the complaints. they understand the frustration and these families, they don't want to be mad, but they're just so mad. >> everybody understands, local officials, in some cases, they've had their homes destroyed. serve trying their best. but still, it's frustrating. gary, you were at a place where there were 500 people waiting in line to get a permit to go back to their home. >> emergency officials have their work cut out for them, but there's a lack of creativity and organization and compassion. >> lack of creativity? >> that's an important part of it that we've seen in other disasters. 525 people, i counted them. they wanted to go back to their homes but told they had to apply for permits. so they waited for three or four hours just to get a permit to go back to their homes and the skies were threatening. these people had lost their homes in some cases. some of them lost relatives and they were standing in this line all day. the pictures you're looking at, the skies are very gray and they were told they had to apply and there were four people giving out the permits. >> it seems like -- part of it may be there's search and rescue and they don't want people walking around enter veering with search and rescue. but people aren't getting information. it doesn't seem like there's a clear area to get information. >> it's hard to get the information. what we seen during katrina and other tornadoes, when people go back to their homes, they go back to the intersection they live, and there's a police officer and say i live in this neighborhood. and the police officer judges whether this person needs to go back. here you have to have the permit or you can't go back to your home. >> john, ever seen anything like this? >> it changes so constantly. the reason i was late for the top of the program, we've been around the neighborhood all day long and we came back and there were different roadblocks. instead of the police, it's the national guard. they're trying to adapt. this is a once-in-a-lifetime event. there's no question you have to have some compassion for the state officials. but you also would think they would have more compassion for the families. >> the priority has to be the families. >> 72 hours plus now, and for the people who -- look, this is the time they're understanding. any medical professional is telling them 72 hours out, you hope there's a john doe in the hospital somewhere. but at this point, their emotions are getting more raw because they understand the personal toll and they're running into this bureaucracy. it just frustrates them to no end. >> let's remember now, 1,500 is the number that we were told yesterday by an official of unaccounted for. we don't have an accurate number. there's no new update on that. so people have no real sense of how many people are really missing. people don't know if their loved one is dead, even though there's plenty of people at the morgue. but they haven't been able to identify them. there seems to be no official list of who or how many or any kind of central clearinghouse for connecting house with their loved ones. among them, will norton, sucked from his suv on the way home from his graduation. his father is in the hospital. he's been found. will, it was thought his family believed he had been taken to a local hospital and then perhaps moved. since then they've learned that is not the case. they've had a number of false alarms. his family has called many hospitals, one after the other, hoping to the best, the searches continue today for will norton. here's what we saw. they're searching the ponds in joplin, missouri, searching for a teen that never made it home. >> it will be okay. we got a lot of people looking, sweetie. a lot of people love him. they love him a lot. >> for will norton's aunt tracy and sister sarah, the wait is too much to bear. will was driving home from his high school graduation with his father mark when the tornado struck. >> they thought if they could pull into this subdivision, they could find a place to go and they only got as far as that median when the tornado picked them up and they got wrapped up in this stuff and it was just a big mess. i don't know where that came from. >> what has he told you about when the tornado hit? >> he said he remembers flipping and being airborne and just kept going. >> will was in the driver's seat. his father tried to grab him. >> my brother grabbed him from across the seat to hold onto him. he remembers my nephew just started reciting scripture, one verse after another, which my brother was a little shocked. but will did it all the way until he went out the window. >> what window did he go out? >> the sunroof. he went up. >> he was sucked out? >> he was literally pulled through the window while my brother held him and he was ripped out of his arms. >> mark was found in this ditch, badly injured but alive. there's been no sign of will. >> we called hundreds of hospitals and right now we think he's still out here somewhere waiting to be found. >> will's family is urging people to search not just in joplin but in areas even further away. >> he could be between here and springfield, missouri. we're not talking half a mile or mile. we're talking miles. that storm could have taken him miles. >> canine teams have been called, some trained to find the living, others to find the dead. >> i think sarah's mom, she's had the toughest time as any momma would have. one of the things, when your kids are gone, it's really tough. so we just ask for prayers for everybody. people that are following on facebook, we really love you. we pray for everybody. that's what we want. it's going to be okay. we'll find him, baby, we'll find him. we'll find him. >> steve lee, a retired battalion chief of the joplin fire department is working around the clock to find will. they've searched the water now a couple times? they haven't found anything? >> they searched it. they're on their second search just to confirm it. that's where we're at there. >> you're carrying a picture of will. >> yes, i have a picture of will, in case i come up to somebody i can show them who we're looking for. >> we have faith that they're going to find him alive. you have to have hope, and you have to pray. and if they don't, we just pray they find him. we're a strong family. we're going to be together, and we're going to find him. someone is going to find him. a lot of people are looking and there's a lot of families that are suffering, and we hope they find their loved ones too, alive. >> there is still hope in joplin, but three days since the tornado for the families of the missing, it's becoming harder to find. there are a lot of rumors that will was in a hospital in springfield, as you heard will's sister, sarah and her mom went to that hospital. they saw the young man who was there. it is not will. but that has given hope to another family, a family of a young boy named lantz hare, who is 16 years old. his father, mike, is on his way to that springfield hospital to see if maybe the boy who is there is his son. lantz was last seen with a friend who survived the storm. he may have facial cuts and head trauma. i spoke to mike a short time ago. what is the last you knew about lantz? >> my youngest son called me and it was maybe you ten minutes after the storm and they -- him and my ex-wife had been trying to get ahold of him over and over and they couldn't and they called me. so i started calling him and never got anything. i called all last night. i can't stop. i don't know why. i stayed up until 2:00 last night and that's all i did. >> called the cell phone. does it ring? >> it rang for the first day and a half and now it goes straight to voice mail. but just in case he gets it, i want him to know his dad loves him. >> how are you holding up? >> i got a lot of strong people around me to pick me up. that's about it. >> what has this been like for you? >> oh, i mean, how do you put into words that one of your two sons is missing? i mean, something as catastrophic as all this, you don't know whether he's underneath a piece of wood or whether he's in the hospital or where he's at. and we searched and searched and searched. so i got to keep searching. >> go to springfield now and hope for the best. >> i'm walking away from here and going to springfield, missouri, then kansas city and wichita. i'll go somewhere else if i have to. >> you're going to check all the hospitals? >> we've had reports that there's a kid that looks like lantz. i can't just sit here and the hospitals tell us it may or may not be him. you know, some of the reports are the bruising is so bad they can't tell. i can tell whether it's my son. i can tell. and i will tell. >> and you were asked to give dna? >> i was asked to give dna today at missouri southern a little while ago. that right there just said it in me that there can't be no stopping until he's found, dead or alive, i've got to keep pushing. i've got to find him. >> it's important to hold onto hope? >> oh, my god, yeah. if you don't have hope, what are you going to do? look at all this. if every family out here didn't have hope that it's going to be better, i've heard on the radio they're going to rebuild st. john's. that's hope. you've got to have hope. you've got to have god. you've got to have friends and family. you've got to have all of it combined to get you through this. >> thank you for talking to us. i appreciate it. >> thank you. >> stay strong. mike hare, who is on his way to springfield to go to the hospital there to see a young person who we know is in the hospital, hasn't been identified. we're going to check in to see if he's gotten word to see if that person is his son, lantz. let's hope for his sake it is. there's no single official list of people who are unaccounted for, no single place that it seems like that people can turn seeking information or getting information. one of our producers managed to reconnect -- one of our tv producers managed to reconnect about a dozen people in the course of making calls and keeping in contact with one man, a private citizen who compiled a list of his own. there's got to be a better way to do this. in the meantime, we're showing you pictures of as many people as we can to try to connect information to maybe you can help. some viewers can help. linda sweeten is 51 years old, she worked at st. john's hospital, believed to have been at home when the storm hit. if you have information to her whereabouts, call 417-434-0114. robert bateson lived in the connecticut point apartments. he has a tattoo covering his back showing a mountain scene. the number for him, 417-499-7177. also unaccounted for, 74-year-old patricia dawson. she was at home here in joplin. if you have information, call 417-880-0046. charles william writer was last seen at the greenbrier nursing home. he's about 5'10", weighs about 170 pounds. he has a scar on his chest from open heart surgery. the number to call for him is 417-847-3505. ida finley was also last seen at the greenbrier. she suffers from alzheimer's. call 417-483-0883 if you've seen her. 16-month-old skyular logsdon. someone we told you about last night. he was located, sadly did not survive the storm. this woman, emma marie hayes was also located. she's in a hospital, doing okay and her family is with her now. we're going to talk to the governor of missouri coming up next about these problems, about this frustration, about this lack of organization and what he can, if anything, what he can do about it. we'll talk to him coming up. and later, a family scrambling for shelter as the tornado gets close. but the family dog was missing. take a look. >> it's coming right over us. we're right in its path. >> where's the phone? >> you want the see how this one ended. and we'll bring it to you ahead on "360."

>> the initial response here, especially at the local level, is focused on getting through the debris field and see who was living and who wasn't. that's come to a close. we've brought in now additional resources from the state side and we're going to be moving to take over that part of the operation to get this information out much more quickly and respectfully for these families that need to hear the information about the loved ones who are -- have been lost or unlocated. >> so you're bringing in people from the state to help out? >> absolutely. we've moved troopers off the shifts in, we brought them in morning. and by tomorrow morning, we'll be getting solid information out to the folks. it's like the enormity of this tragedy is just getting on folks here. everybody is so focused on finding folks and recovering quickly. now as we see the enormity of it, it's important that we get this information out and we're bringing in a lot of resources to get that done. we hope by early tomorrow morning we'll get those numbers out. >> john king was talking to a family who -- a neighbor saw their child die and be taken away. they believe he's at the morgue, but they're being told they can't go to the morgue to find him or to look. i mean, shouldn't people be able to go -- if there's bodies in the morgue, see if their loved ones are there? >> unspeakable tragedies make a lot of stress on everybody. that's why bringing in the additional resources, moving this process forward much more quickly, we spotted that as a need. that's why we're bringing them in. of course they need to see their loved ones. and we're going to press forward to make sure they get that access and get people moving in there in the coming hours. >> gary tuchman found a different set of concerns, a line of 500 people waiting to get permits to be allowed to go back to their own home. are these new workers from the state, will they be able to help out? >> they will. but we found two people yesterday, and they're with the dogs continuing to get some hits in some areas. i think there's a lot of people -- >> that's part of that delay? >> yeah, you want to make sure you get the debris field completely cleared. also with our national guard, we have not had problems with property missing or people committing crimes. we've had a solid rule of law here. what is here is going to be here when people come back. that's why i called up the mp brigades and why we made sure that people know their goods are safe here. nobody is going to take anything here. we're the show me state, but not the take me state. >> the only number yesterday was put out 1,500 people unaccounted for. is there going to be a more accurate number put out? >> yes, by tomorrow morning, our folk also have a more accurate number. that number will be smaller than that. as the days have gone on, there were a number of inaccuracies in those lists. we didn't want to release inaccurate information. we're checking folks off that list. that number will be hundreds smaller than that number. we've had good news in the sense that we've been able to identify some folks. but the bottom line is, by early tomorrow morning, we'll begin -- we're just crosschecking those, so we don't have any inaccuracies. but we'll get that information out in the morning. >> to the families waiting and searching you say? >> as i said today, i brought together all the faith-based community, about 100 preachers for a meeting. quite frankly, as a community, there's this whole process that folks are going through. and now the next step in that process needs to be clarification of exactly what's going on with their family, where the unaccounted people are. the locals have been stretched to a maximum here. that's why we've brought these additional resources in. you're going to see a quickening of the process over the next few hours. >> how many folks have you been able to order in, do you know? >> we've got the entire drug and crime patrol. we'll have 25, 30 troopers working and the guard folks. we'll use whatever resources are necessary. and get the information out to these families and do so in an expedited fashion. >> governor, i appreciate it. i talked to the governor after that interview. he said you're going to see a quickening of the process and said you can hold my feet to the fire on that one. we're certainly going to be doing that, watching very closely. again, it should not take two weeks for a grieving family who believes their child is dead to be able to go to a morgue and look for their child. it should not take two weeks. again, we're talking about the deadliest tornado season since 1953. that's what we're experiencing right now in joplin and all around here. watches and warnings from ohio to texas. that's on top of the damage here sunday. and the dozens of tornadoes since then. take a look. >> oh, my god! back up. oh, no. stop. oh, no. >> in this part of the country where things were bad, they have quickly gotten worse. in the last 36 hours, there was more than 50, that's right, 50 tornadoes that have touched down throughout the midwest. >> extremely large and dangerous tornado. >> very large tornado. >> at least 16 people were killed in storms that struck parts of oklahoma, kansas, and arkansas. 10 of those 16 dead are because of this monster. >> oh, my gosh! >> another killer tornado! >> dozens were injured in oklahoma, many along the interstate 40 corridor leading out of oklahoma city. watch as this twister swallows this 18-wheeler and completely obliterates it. somehow the driver in the cab made it out without any injuries. >> i'm stopping because it's coming up to i-40 right now. unbelievable. it's right here, it's a killer tornado. goodness gracious, wow! >> today, the oklahoma governor declared a state of emergency statewide. >> it's devastating. >> meanwhile in arkansas, at least four people were killed by the storms and another two in kansas. in these states as well, overturned trucks destroyed homes are scattered on the ground for miles. more than 500 people have been killed this tornado season. a season that still has months to go. sadly there's more as we speak. late reports of new storms. let's get the details from chad myers. where are the storms? >> all the way from almost buffalo, new york to austin, texas. they're not all tornadoes, but we have east of cleveland to erie, some wind damage happening there by thunderstorms. a new tornado watch box that close from columbus, ohio to mississippi. this is going to go all night long and these storms are still rotating. many of them have been on the ground. we've had 72 reports today, anderson, of tornadoes. small tornadoes. this is an outbreak. don't get me wrong. this is not a small day for tornadoes, but the tornados have been small. they haven't been 150, they haven't been 200 miles per hour, they haven't been ef-3s and 4s or 5s. they've been manageable. even tornadoes, we had one earlier in sedalia, missouri. that was about an f-2. probably 110 miles per hour. there was some roofs missing but no one lost their lives. everything was still there. if you were inside, you were safe. this is a typical day. what we've been seeing the past couple of weeks have been outrageous. 200 miles per hour, that's outrageous. the f-5 that goes through joplin, that's unbelievable to move through big cities. they could move through the plains and prairies where there's a bunch of wheat, but we don't get big tornadoes like that in big towns. but this year we have. indianapolis, you will be seeing a tornado warning for you pretty soon. you'll probably be hearing the see reps any time now. there are cells to the west. there are small embedded little wind gusts in there. take cover when you hear the sirens. don't take them lightly. they can still take the roof. when you hear the sirens, be ready for it. down to oxford, mississippi, had debris in the air west of oxford. that's where the university of mississippi is. debris in the air means a tornado is picking up something and throwing it around. all the way down past shreveport, there's dallas, texas and austin and houston with all these thunderstorms. you're going to get some hail and some winds. the widespread manner of this is -- that might have been 2,000 miles from buffalo to austin, at least 2,000 miles even to fly there. i've never seen weather this spread out all week long. anderson? >> incredible. chad, appreciate it. still ahead, the search to have dee ann hayward. she was on her way to pick up food when the tornado struck. her kids join me ahead. plus, a family that barely made it in their safe room in time last night. the video shows them running to reach their safe room to save themselves. they had to leave their beloved pet behind. what happened later is unbelievable. we'll show it to you ahead. a lot of times, things are right underneath our feet, and all we need to do is change the way we're thinking about them. a couple decades ago, we didn't even realize just how much natural gas was trapped in rocks thousands of feet below us. technology has made it possible to safely unlock this cleanly burning natural gas. this deposits can provide us with fuel for a hundred years, providing energy security and economic growth all across this country. it just takes somebody having the idea, and that's where the discovery comes from. the new blackberry playbook. it just takes somebody having the idea, it runs all this at the same time. why can't every tablet do that? dee ann hayward is one of the missing here in joplin. her son graduated from high school on sunday. she was on her way to pick up food for the graduation party when the tornado hit. her car was found, badly damaged, she was not in it. the family is obviously desperate to find her. here's what her sister, patty, told john king earlier. >> she counseled teenage girls, pregnant girls, runaway girls, taught sunday school and it just kills me that somebody that good, something bad would happen to them. >> dee ann's kids, christina, caleb and robert hayward join me now. how are you guys holding up? >> much better. just staying strong until we can find her. >> you've been searching everywhere, right? >> yeah. all around, even in different states. >> different states? >> yeah. we heard they can be as far as like st. louis or kansas city or anywhere. >> what kind of help have you had searching? >> lots of people on facebook, churches and stuff like that, friends and family, i mean, everyone. >> you just had your 14th birthday. how are you holding up? >> very good. >> it's not easy, though. >> no. >> when did you realize that she was missing? >> a few hours. she went for pizza and never came back. it was three, four hours and we knew. >> and her car was found in this area, wasn't it? >> yeah. real close to here. it's pretty banged up, so we're kind of scared. >> of course. you've checked the local hospitals? >> yeah. i mean, the morgues haven't been real friendly, either. it's kind of hard to say the morgues, but they wouldn't let us in to look at the bodies. >> we were just talking to the governor asking him why can't people at least go in and it's not an easy task, but people would rather know one way or the other. he said they're going to start bringing in some more people from the state and they're going to start changing the rules. he said in the next day or so, they hope to get things -- has it been disorganized, is that what you've been finding? >> the first two days have been really disorganized but they've been getting some organization going. >> is there one central place to go get the latest information? >> some of the places are somewhat connected but not really. >> what do you want people to know about your mom? >> she's just -- we all miss her. she's a great person. she didn't deserve this at all. any one of us would trade places with her. >> we'll keep doing whatever we can. if there's anything else we can do, please let us know. if anyone has any information, you guys have set up -- you have a facebook account. what is the facebook account? >> just caleb hayward. that's pretty much the main one on there all the time. >> so caleb hayward at facebook. i hope you get some information. if there's anything we can do, just let us know. stay strong. >> thank you. >> what can you say?
