Transcripts For CNNW Early Start 20120301

i'm in front of an apartment complex where six people lost their lives. i'll bring you the whole story from here and from the whole area in the south and midwest that was hit by these deadly storms. >> and winner take some. mitt romney wins michigan but splits the delegates with rick santorum. romney also picking up another state. this all happening right before super tuesday. and after three days at sea without power means no lights, no toilets, no showers and infested waters, a cruise ship arrives in port finally. and people, boy, they have some stories to tell. but first, we're going to get right over to harrisburg. i was reading that it looks like a bomb went off. i was looking at the aerial pictures. just total devastation where you are. >> it definitely looks like a bomb went off. just look behind me at the garden heights apartments. it's hard to believe this was an apartment. you can see the car in the smashed garage. then when you look threw the wreckage, you can see remnants of life, bathrooms turned up side down, beds, closets, wholesale destruction of families and lives in this community. this particular apartment building as i said right off the top of the show, six people lost their lives here. that's the entire death toll for this town of 9,000. i want to give you a feel for the swath of the deadly storms. 12 people dead across the midwest and the south. again, six of them right here in harrisburg. 100 people injured in this community. but it's thought to be that injuries running from scratches to serious trauma run to 200 people. the tornado system was an f-4. that is just about as bad as they can get. it is second down from the worst tornado out there. it struck just before 5:00 in the morning yesterday, just before we were going on the air. so so many people in their homes. that could be a good thing that they're not out in cars and stores. they do get the warnings. the warnings were pretty good. about 25 minutes to a half hourment a lot of people could take shelter. of course, many people could not either. the storm was moving at 60 miles an hour. that is not the kind of storm can you outrun. so obvious lit town taken by surprise. this isn't even considered tornado season. this is the dead of winter. i want to bring in christy stewart, a reporter for "the daily register." you've been covering a lot of local and state and federal issues with regard to this. can you give me a feel for what the response is? is fema involved? where is the help coming from? >> i have heard from a lot of state officials that they're trying to get as much help and support from state that they can. but the overall response that i really felt from people in the community is just a sense of hope. people are really coming together and being very supportive. everyone is really, you know, surprised. but heartened by that through all this. you know, awful destruction. >> it's hard to seen say that. if you look behind you, it looks like a bulldozer came through and wiped these families and lives away. i know you had a chance to talk to some of the politicians, local, state, federal as well. what is the response? >> pretty much the same. they're just shocked. it's disheartening to see this kind of damage in the community. you drive by these places every day and suddenly they're not there anymore. there is also hope just from the support that they've been seeing from everyone involved. we've had emergency crews working all night long, people from all over the area, all over the state coming to help. >> and they moved in fairly quickly, too. it was only 24 hours ago we begun our program and started to hear word of breaking news of the tornadoes coming through. as i was coming into town, i have to be completely honest, i thought we were in the wrong place. the north part of town looks great. and then all of a sudden, you show up here and the reality kicks in. do the people here get it? do they know how lucky they are if they lived in one area and how unlucky others were? >> i agree with that. i'm not sure. honestly, i think some people who have power haven't seen the news reports. people are getting on fb and photos are starting to trickle in. there are people in the areas that are completely intact and haven't been affected. it's shocking to see the photos a few miles away. >> this is considered part of the tornado district. we see these things on television. every year we see the tornado disasters. are people here accustomed to that or was this the sort of thing that they have never seen the powers of those winds like that here? >> i don't think you can ever get accustomed to thatment we've seen some major storm damage but nothing like this ever. >> i know that this is your community. live and work. so you're covering people all the time. are you getting a sense for hope or a sense where people are bewildered and hope is some time down the road? >> some of both. but it's actually shocking how helpful people can get in a situation like this and how supportive and how much people want to help each other. everyone's just been, you know, trying to figure out what they can do to help. i think that should bring a little hope for all of us. >> this is the area that was worst hit, this apartment complex. it's hard to tell. it's dark. we just signed on. 4:00 in the morning local time here. but this swath of devastation sort of, you can really look at the path. it is 200 yards wide and moves straight down in a south easterly direction. there are a lot of homes back there as well. anything as bad as this or is this really just the worst it got? >> this is the worst i've seen. i know like the strip mall over next to walmart got hit really hard. some businesses around that area. but as far as homes, you know, like a neighborhood, this is definitely the worst. >> christy, you have your work cut out for you. i really appreciate you coming out at this hour. good luck you to and kblurn community. harrisburg is the hardest hit. again, six dead here. but there are 12 dead in total from these storms. one of the local reporters had a chance to do some interviews and get some perspective. have a listen. >> reporter: you knew this wasn't an order storm. it just sounded different. it was an erie sound that i had. you knew there was nothing you could do anyway. so you just laid there and just hoped your house didn't come down around you. >> i want to remind you that in branson, missouri, the storm system, it was a very unusual hit. some people call it a direct hit. other people say it really hop scotched through branson, missouri. if you know branson, you know that is a tourist capital. it's like a mini vegas. it's an entertainment capital. there is a strip of entertainment facilities and musical theaters. they got pretty hard hit through the storms as well. southwest missouri is where the storm systems hit. the winds here were 170 miles an hour. but there they were 130 miles an hour. the marquee musical theaters got hit, a convention center there as well was hit. and apparently the swath of destruction in branson was seven miles long along that entertainment strip. and 400 yards wide. if you do the math, think about it, it's four football fields wide. so that was an enormous system that passed through branson, missouri. apparently the storm was on the ground there for 20 minutes. imagine the kind of destruction that was -- you know, that community was undergoing for 20 minutes of 130 mile an hour winds. cars were crushed. rubble everywhere. three dozen injuries that we know of so far. city officials, though, i tell you this are grateful. hard to say. that grateful this didn't happen two weeks from now when the key tourism season kicks in. rob marciano is joining us now. while it's calm here after the storm, the deadly systems may not be over yet. >> we're going to recharge the atmosphere starting tomorrow. first, reminder of what kind of damage these things can do. where you are in harrisburg, e ef-4. most of the other tornadoes that did damage in branson and in through kentucky, ef-2s, still 130 mile an hour winds. we'll be getting more reports in from the national weather service as we send our teams out o survey more thoroughly the exact path, how wide, how long and we'll begin to learn a little bit more about what happened yesterday. all right. what's going on today? we don't have as much as a threat. that pretty much is over. no watch box out right now. there are thunderstorms near the south. they're nowhere near the strength we saw yesterday. i want to show you this video from newburgh, indiana. this is south and east of evansville. an ef-1 tornado hit around this time or maybe an hour or so from now. an hour after the one hit harrisburg. this is likely the same cell that hit harrisburg. it weakened by the time it got to newburgh. that is from an ef-1 damage. we do expect to see a threat for tornadoes as we go on through -- as we go through tomorrow. a slight threat today through the nation's midsection. i think a greater threat as this storm which has a lot of energy with it comes out of the rockies and into the plains tomorrow. highlighted by the storm prediction center as a moderate risk here, two days out that, is pretty serious stuff. what's different today or tomorrow is that it will be shifted more to the east. the strak more to the east. hopefully harrisburg will be spared. they're in the shaded area of slight risk. so a wide swath of real estate but we'll be under the gun tomorrow. back to you. >> all right, rob. thanks very much. i want to remind viewers as well. i mentioned not only harrisburg in illinois and also branson, missouri. tennessee also suffering deaths, three deaths there as well. still not confirmed whether they were tornadoes necessarily. but straight line winds, tornadoes, whatever it was, devastating damage there as well with three deaths reported in tennessee. if you want to help, there is certainly a lot of ways that you can. i want to direct your attention to cnn.com/impact. if you go to our website and you click on that, you can find an array of different organizations where you can reach out and you can lend your assistance in any way you can. can i tell you one thing? if there's one thing i heard since arriving in this town, they're going to need a lot of help just here. >> i was reading online that there are a lot of volunteers signing up. they are requesting more. i got to tell you, looking behind you, i cannot believe that anybody survived the collapse of that building behind you. >> you know, i'll tell you something. there is a really harrowing story about a man who came here to get his mother. when this report came out that this area had been hit, he came to find his mother. he found her. he found her alive, rushed her to the hospital. i'm sad to report this morning she did not survive. >> oh, my gosh. all right. we're going to continue checking in with you. i know you're talking to a lot of people in that area. thank you for that. in other news this morning, thousands of government troops reportedly unleashed a full scale assault on the syrian city of homes. water, food and communication cut off in some of the areas there. the government forces are bombarding the rebel strong hold. and they are vowing to cleanse that region of all opposition fighters. and with super tuesday five days away, chalk up another win for mitt romney. romney is campaigning or was campaigning right there in ohio yesterday. santorum is looking for votes in tennessee. 26 delegates at stake. and cnn projects ten for romney and nine for santorum. romney's victory in michigan on tuesday is feeling a little hollow now. he won by three points. he got the popular vote. 30 delegates were up for grabs. you know, 15 went for romney, 15 for santorum. here is a delegate scoreboard, romney with 181, santorum with 61, gingrich with 39 and paul with 33. so we still have a bit to go there. so after three days at sea without power, a cruise ship has finally docked. listen to this. it was toe ed towed by a small boat. it was a fire in the engine room that left that ship stranded. they still don't have a cause as to how that fire started. but you know those folks were without lights, no toilets, no showers since monday. so they have quite a story to tell. minding your business this morning. u.s. stock markets closing lower yesterday. the dow, nasdaq and s&p 500 all in the red. but since the start of the year, we have big gains. dow up 6%, s&p 500, the best indicator for your investments, up more than 8%. and the tech heavy nasdaq, 14%. christine romans is back. there is a wall street story this morning about a bank of america considering more fees. >> i know. >> they have to make up all their losses. >> all the gains in the stock market, don't bank them. the big banks as we've been reporting to you, they're looking for ways to raise money. they're doing that by finding ways to put more fees on basic checking. "wall street journal" this morning reporting that bank of america is again considering new ways to raise money. it will be up to $25 in new fees. they're testing this on an essentials account. different kinds of fees for different things. but then there are ways to avoid the fees. we've seen this in a lot of different banks. for example, direct deposit may be one way. in this case, things like maintaining the minimum balance for your type of account. using the credit card tied to a bank of america, taking a mortgage with the bank. bank has a mortgage with you and doing other kinds of banking, that will be a way to avoid the fees. it's something we've seen before. the banks in the '80s and the years since then, they rollout a basic checking account for a young person to get them, you know, hooked as a first time customer with the bank. and then that is free maybe. but then they hope for you to get a mortgage and maybe get more money and do direct deposit. there are ways for the bank to make more money. now they're not making as much money as they used to on the bank accounts because of congress closing down the fee machines. >> it seems a bit unfair, right? i would imagine that folks are going to be in an uproar like they were last time when this was suggested and perhaps, you know, cause this to be reversed. >> it's interesting. there was an uproar against bank of america before. so they are being very careful about how they do it. earlier this week a j.p. morgan executive, anybody under $100,000, they don't make any money off them. they're not in the business of just being nice. they're in the business to make money from us. if they're not making money from us, how are they going to make money? >> that's one of the options. >> you do. and last year we know the turnover for the banks was unbelievable. people going to community banks, going to nonprofit credit unions and avoiding fees that way. >> all right. so there are your options. thank you very much, christine. >> for now, we're going to go back to harrisburg, illinois. six reported confirmed death there's. what else can you tell us? >> six dead here. 12 dead in total from the storms. branson, month moshgs while it may have escaped a death toll, there is a big toll in that community. the entertainment district has been absolutely slammed by the series of storms. after the break, i'm going to speak with the mayor of branson. she's going to talk to me a little bit about how this could have been so much worse but for the timing.

making news this morning. at least 12 people have died in that tornado outbreak across the midwest. six alone in the southern illinois town of harrisburg. that's where ash leigh is. 20 twisters were spotted and at least seven states. thousands of syrian government troops bombarding a rebel strong hold in the battered city of homes overnight. a top syrian official vowing to cleanse the district of

to allow gay couples to marry. now let's head over to harrisburg, illinois. when i got the e-mail that you were heading in that direction, i thought gorby wonder if it's going to be difficult to get in there? >> you know, it is difficult to get where i am. and this took some special arranging. there's a curfew. 6:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m. the people who live here and have family members here where i'm standing where six people died are not allowed to come here. most people aren't allowed to come into the zone that was worse hit. but there are areas of this city that are completely unscathed. you see that haphazard nature of the tornado the moment you arrive here. and this is illinois. in branson, missouri, haphazard is the word of the day. those tornadoes hop scotched through there as well. the swath was seven miles long of destruction and damage. and you know as well as i do, branson, missouri, is known for its country music entertainment district. and that swath was seven miles of commercial district that was damaged. 120 to 130 mile an hour winds screaming through that community. many people said a direct hit. but i'll tell what you, that hit, whether it was direct or hop scotching, was on the ground for 20 minutes. it did a great deal of damage. joining me live to talk about where that community is and where it's going to be going is the mayor of branson mayor presley. thank you so much for being with us. i heard you were in your basement when the tornadoes hit your community. describe for me how this happened for you and when you jumped into official mode. >> well, we seen the storm coming most of the evening. and i think that was a great lep to our community as well. and, of course, following the joplin storm we pay more attention to sirens. they went off in sufficient time for people to find shelter. yes, i was in the basement with my family as well. shortly thereafter, the city administrators called and said he knew that we had significant damage and it was put on your tennis shoes and get out on the street and see how you can help. >> but for the timing of this storm, if this would have been two weeks from now, that's peak tourist season for you all. you might have expected 60,000 additional people in your community. >> well, spring break gears up. we have the nia fall tournaments here. and, yes, we fill up pretty quickly. i think we were blessed it was still a bit quiet. we did have many of our things open. but not like the numbers you have and i think that was a blessing. >> tell me a little bit about the damage on the commercial strip. i mentioned before seven miles of commercial district was directly affected by the series of storms. the musical theaters everybody knows well. the entertainment areas and the convention center also partly damaged. give me an assessment. >> well, we were fortunate. it still was limited in nature. i see the pictures and they are really difficult. we have about 50 theaters in branson. we believe about five to six were significantly damaged. we have 200 hotels. we think probably 15 of those were significantly damaged. many of our major attractions through our city were not damaged at all. so we'll be open for business in short order. we'll be hoping those who did suffer this damage to rebuild. >> well, mayor presley, i think you're lucky that your community got away unscathed. certainly where i'm standing that is not the story. i heard folks from joplin, missouri, are coming to aid you and you did the same for them last year. i wish your community well. thanks for being with us. >> thank you very much. >> all right. back to you. we'll have more a little bit later on from this location. >> if i could just ask you a question. where are folks going for shelter? it does look like that is seriously hard hit there. >> yeah, the first baptist church was opened almost right away. and there were a number of people who were seeking refuge there. power went out. people couldn't even get reports on whether the systems were done, whether they were safe. so i have heard by three hours past the storm there were already 100 volunteers who signed up to lend assistance in any way possible, whether they needed foote food, shelter, meals, cooking, anything. most of that command sen center is coming out of first baptist church in harrisburg. it has certainly done wonders for these folks. not far away, you'll see this later on, i was at a walmart. i already saw the crates of water that were out on the front parking lot, assuming that they were headed for those emergency shelters and those in need. >> you know, the generosity of strangers never ceases to amaze me. thank you for that. we'll check in with you later. ahead on "early start," relations with north korea thawing. they agree to halt all nuclear testing. we're going to tell what you the u.s. is giving them in return. and u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton calling it a modest first step in the right direction. you're watching "early start." good morning. >> i'm ashleigh banfield live in harrisburg, illinois, the scene of the deadliest tornadoes in the swath cut through the southeast of the united states yesterday. >> and good morning to you all. welcome to "early start." i'm back in new york. we're going to head to the scene of the devastating scene in a few moments. we're going to take a quick check of the stories making news this morning. now at least 12 people have died in that tornado outbreak across the midwest. six alone in the southern illinois town of harrisburg. twisters were spotted in at least seven states. take a look at all the damage. one of them carving a 22-mile-long path of destruction through branson, missouri. the twister ripping apart down along the town's famous strip of theaters. they do say that they are going to rebuild in time for tourist season. and just a little more wind at the back of mitt romney heading into super tuesday. romney is taking the wyoming caucuses, his third win this week. 26 delegates at stake. cnn projects ten for romney and nine for rick santorum. north korea is agreeing to suspend all nuclear testing and uranium enrichment in exchange for food. the north core evens will get 2 40e,000 metric tons of nutritional assistance. and the crippled cruise ship just arrived in port three days after it lost power in the indian ocean with more than 1,000 passengers and crew onboard. that ship was towed through pirate infested waters by a little fishing boat. let's go back to harrisburg, illinois. that's where ashleigh banfield is live. good morning to you. >> good morning. i'm at the garden heights apartments or i think i should better say what used to be the garden heights apartments here in harrisburg. there is really nothing left of this small community of a number of smaller homes. this is the worst epicenter of the tornado damage in harrisburg where six people died. that's the entire death toll of this town of 9,000. all of them coming from this series of apartments right behind me. it was an f-4 tornado. they don't get a whole lot worse than that. when a f-4 comes through, you can expect to see devastation like you see behind me. also, one of the residents in this area said they actually saw people being blown out of their windows. if you need pictures that describe the vast power of these winds, when i arrived here, i went straight to an area just adjacent to where i'm standing. it is a strip mall. let me correct it, it's what used to be a strip mall with a series of stores that were operational but for 24 hours ago. have a look. this is just about as bad as it gets. this used to be a strip mall. and obviously you can see from the sign over here that this was a sports store. when you get right down, you can see the evidence of it. i'm walking amongst broken glass on carpet. you can see baseball bats and balls strewn amongst the debris in here. come by this way, you can start to recognize a little bit more of which area the store we're in now. shoe boxes with nikes strewn all about. brand new nikes everywhere all throughout this wreckage. and that's not the only place. there was a cash store here as well. there was a clothing store. but as we continue to move, you can see that the damage and the debris from the sports store continues throughout this whole strip mall. these are kids hockey helmets and baseballs. and down here, a couple baseball bats. so, of course, i'm in illinois. but the damage spanned a number of states. i want to take you to kentucky. it was a very rough night for people in western kentucky, particularly the community of greenville, kentucky. residents there reported seeing funnel clouds. a middle school very badly damaged in that area as well. the powerful winds coming with, again, some warning but for some people no warning depending on what they had available to. they listen to a man as he talks about how his home was lifted right off of its foundation. >> and i got up and took two steps off the couch. and then me and the two dogs i have and the trailer started rolling down the hill. and you can see what's left. and after i rode five times, i can remember everything about it. once it hit the ground on the fifth time, everything just -- i saw daylight and i was sitting up against the stove down there just leaned up with my back against it like i was sitting in a chair. joy to be here, yep. because i don't know how. i don't know how i'm here. no doubt. the good lord just didn't call me is all i know. it wasn't my time. >> it is just so heartbreaking to hear him and his account of what happened and that kind of story is going to be replaying over and over for dozens and dozens and dozens of people through a number of states. our rob marciano is standing by. as i was traveling here to illinois, i was getting reports in of state by state damage from these systems. i have a talley. i'm not sure if it's complete. tennessee, missouri, kentucky, illinois. am i missing any? is there more still to come? >> there will be more recharging tomorrow. but the one state where this all started, the first reports that we got of damage from a twister was out of kansas. so that's where it all began. these are some of the video from harveyville, kansas. an ef-2 struck late or early depending on how you put it, over 24 hours ago, 1:00, 2:00 in the morning. little warning with this one. they did not have a tornado warning out on it. there was a severe thunderstorm warning on it. it hit in the middle of the night. remarkably, six people injured, no fatalities there. all right. where are the storms today? where are they right now? what is left over is across the southeast. there are no tornado watches or warnings out as we speak. this system has remarkably weakened. it's in the form of snow across the northeast. but the backside of it, we may see storms fire up from st. louis to memphis later on today. we don't expect high probability of tornadoes today. but as we go through tomorrow, things will get a little bit more active. as this piece of energy dives down to the south and east. and this storm tomorrow looks to be i don't want to say stronger but more dynamics than yesterday's storm. the track of it shifts a little farther to the east. so a significant swath of real estate will be under the gun again tomorrow as far as severe weather goes and includes indianapolis, louisville and in through nashville. we'll keep you posted on that. >> i certainly hope they have their early detection systems in place. that is something that played out in this community in harrisburg. they had upwards of 25 minutes warning. but for that, we might have had a significantly higher death toll than six people. if you want to help, there are many ways that you can. and let me tell you, the people here are calling out for help. you can go to cnn.com/impact. there are a number of different agencies that are listed on that website that you can reach out and help in any way, financially, you can volunteer as well. and god knows after a situation like this, volunteers do come out of the wood work from places far flung. so don't think that you might live too far away. they do need your help. and that certainly a way you can do so. cnn.com/impact. >> great point. up next on "early start," another win for mitt romney captures his third state this week. so why is rick santorum claiming victory now? it was a big night at the white house. why the president hosted 200 iraq war veterans for a dinner there. and you've seen the picture, a town in ruins, tornadoes tore apart harrisburg, illinois. we're going to talk to the sheriff coming up next. in addition to the two hundred plus facilities that the university of phoenix has we have a very progressive online learning environment. we have something called phoenix connect that allows students to have a social network. you can post discussion questions. we have more than twenty thousand faculty members, chances are one of them is online when you need some assistance. i'm ron gdovic, i'm committed to providing my students with a twenty-first-century education and i am a phoenix. it is 5:41. welcome back to "early start." ashleigh banfield is live in illinois, in harrisburg, illinois. she's going to join us in a little bit to talk about the storm damage there and the cleanup efforts as well. mitt romney keeps racking up the wins. he's not gaining a whole lot of ground. romney and santorum are preparing for super tuesday now. romney is campaigning in ohio. santorum is in tennessee. 11 states are up for grabs between now and tuesday. wyoming caucuses have been taking place throughout february now and the final results are in. romney has 39%. santorum, 32%. 26 delegates at stake. cnn projects ten for romney and nine for santorum. romney's win in michigan on tuesday, not really feeling like a win now. there were 30 delegates up for grabs. despite his three point win, romney gets 15 delegates and so does santorum. santorum now is calling that a tie. so let's talk about this. live from washington, our political reporter with "roll call." thank you for joining us this morning. so delegates wis, we're calling this a tie. let's listen to this and talk about it. >> this was a huge win for us. let's play it the way it s don't give romney all the spin. we went into his backyard. he spent a fortune. the money he had no intention of spending and we came out of there with the same number of delegates he does. >> but still romney got the popular vote. does santorum have a point here? >> he has small point in that in many way this is michigan rate was a lot about expectations for romney. romney is the first person to tell you he was born in michigan. he was raised in the detroit suburbs. and i think in that sense people thought he would be the front-runner and win the state easily. the fact he only won 3 or 4% says he didn't do as well as what his campaign might have hoped. i come from the school that a win is a win and he got more votes in the popular election. the delegate count is split after tuesday night. but the popular vote says romney did win it. >> a win is a win. how much money do you spend for that win, however? we know the santorum campaign said they raised $9 million in february. we've been talking about romney outspending santorum himself and then you include the superpac there. he even made a direct appeal, right, on his speech on tuesday night. his campaign is running low on cash. so looking forward, do you think this is a problem for romney? >> i don't. i don't think money is really a problem for romney. first of all, let's remember, he is fairly wealthy himself. if he needs to, he can cut a check. i don't think he's done that yet in his campaign. he did it in 2008 race. i don't think money is an issue. he also has a lot of establishment backings from republicans who can continue to feed money into the superpac account. i don't think money is an issue. santorum has to worry a little bit more about fund-raising. he doesn't have that wealthy establishment or backing or that rich pocketbook that romney has. >> romney has to worry that conservatives are not really rallying around him. jeb bush is still considered as a possible last ditch candidate. he repeatedly said he's not interested in running. forget about whether he will or he will not run, politically would it be smart for him to jump in right now? >> i think it will be very hard for him to jump in right now. expectations are really high. he can ask rick perry how that went for him as you jump in as this outcidsioutsider candidate. what they discuss is perhaps maybe he would go in at the convention. i say there is a very small chance of this actually happening. we get down to a brekerred convince in august and florida at the rnc, maybe jeb bush jumps in there has a consensus candidatement very small chance of that happening first of all because jeb bush said himself he doesn't want to run and brokered conventions an unlikelihood even in that race. >> everybody

>> zaraida we're just 24 hours into this disaster and reports can change of the injured and the wounded. with started auch this program by saying here at the garden height apartment was the scene of all the deaths in the community, it turns out five deaths here and another death adjacent to us. it's a significant death toll when we talk about 12 people across several states dying and the bulk of them right here in harrisburg. it was an f-4 tornado and they don't get a whole lot worse than that. 100 people, at least, injured in this area and upwards of 200 to 250, if you combine all of the states that were hit by tornadoes. the tornado that came through here was moving at 60 miles an hour. you cannot outrun a tornado at 60 miles an hour. it actually caught people somewhat by surprise only because of the season. we're in the dead of winter here. however, the warnings were good. at least 25 minutes of warning and that helped to keep the toll of injured and dead as low as it has been. there were 300 homes damaged in this community or completely destroyed. the homes behind me completely obliterated. we're seeing basements and front doors and complete rooms upended and in different yards than the yard where they belong. the mayor of this town described this as a swath of damage that was three to four football fields wide. an enormous swath of damage. one of the storm chasers said that he, even as a storm chaser, was completely stunned by what he witnessed. have a listen. >> it was probably the loudest sound i ever heard. the popping sound, it was like going over a mountain how your ears popped. but ten times worse than that. next thing i know, all the windows shattered in my vehicle and i knew i was getting hit and i was directly in its path and i just kept rolling and rolling. >> i want to bring in a couple of guests that we've been able to encourage to come out to talk to us a little bit about what's happening. tammy pesh is with the red cross disaster public affairs and dan evans, you're a community resident and you have a gas station in this community that was destroyed. you're not allowed to get back there. this is a curfew. tell me what happened to your business? >> early yesterday morning it was completely destroyed. there's nothing left. as a business established back in the '50s and it's been there for 84 years and there's nothing left. i worked there for 35 years. yeah, and walked in the same door. so, it's good. >> right now you're under curfew and you can't go to that business. >> not until daylight. we had a crew of 100 people in there, friends, family, customers of ours that showed up to help. we loaded 13 semi loads but just to get it under cover before the next storm comes along maybe friday. it's not bad. everybody pulling together to help. >> you and your family? >> lots of family member, lots of friends. >> as you look behind you and you see homes in this condition and the number of people who died in this area. you must be feeling at least blessed that you were able to, you know, emerge unscathed from this. >> exactly. we know several people here and customers of ours that family died during that. so, yeah, it's unreal. >> everybody knows each other in this town? >> we do. i live four miles outside of town and my farm's safe and it is amazing the path it cut right through this town, part of the business district and the homes, too. >> are you going to be able to recover anything from your business? >> we think so, we're strong. we've been here that many years and it's tough. i worked for this company for 35 years. it's tough. we will. we sell a quality product and the service and the people that's been there. we'll come back. >> amazing in this town. >> it's a power that we don't know that have done the destruction. we'll bounce back from this. >> tammy, just let me know about your efforts. you were called into action right away, just after 5:00 in the morning. give me the low down, the assessment. >> absolutely. first our condolences go out to the families who have lost loved ones and injured family and friends. that's first and foremost on our minds. we set up a shelter here in harrisburg and that people have food and emotional support and they have things that they need and their immediate needs are being met. >> the first baptist church is the nerve center for that area. give me a scene for people who have arrived there for shelter. >> we had about 12 people stay over last night, i stayed last night and we had people coming in at 2:00 in the morning looking for somewhere safe trying to find family and friends and just decided they needed to come to the shelter for some place safe and warm. i. >> it's hard to get reports so soon after the disaster, but we are hearing all people are accounted for. are you getting the same reports? the people in shelt safe and it's not likely we're going to hear any increased death toll from this community. >> i can't hear that, i can't speak on that and the shelters are open for anybody that needs the space and food coming around as soon as the areas are open and we have people working out. >> how are you doing for money, supplies, volunteers, all those things that are critical in the first hours? >> the best thing anybody can do to help us is give the gift of time, blood or money. call your local office and volunteer and give the gift of life and visit redcross.org. >> have you been hearing from anyone who has banded together to say, look, we have to get out there and at least looking to clean up or help those in need. >> the church has brought food in and besides the red cross, we've seen them in place but the friends and family and help and lots of people. >> you going to be okay? >> we'll come out of it. >> my thoughts are with you. >> thank you. >> i want to remind you a lot of damage and destruction throughout a number of states and we've been talking a lot about illinois where we are right now and branson, missouri, also suffered a very destructive series of storms that destroyed the entertainment community. why i say it could have been the entertainment community, there could have been 60,000 plus people there which is the peak of the tourist community in branson. a lot of their theaters and entertainment district were damaged significantly. nobody was killed in branson and some injuries, but nothing so significant that at this point we have anyone on a critical list that we know of. if there is a bright spot in any of this, some of these storms can tear terrible havoc through a community, but survivors, as well. rob marciano is standing by live. at last count i think i listed off six states. i'm not sure. hard to grasp from kansas through the south to the midwest and then through the south states. hard to grasp how many people were affected by these systems. >> widespread tornado outbreak and even where there were tornadoes, ashleigh, check out this video out of cumberland county where there were two deaths yesterday. these may have been tornadoes, but nobody saw them. nonetheless, tremendous amount of damage with several homes completely destroyed and more than that, damage in cumberland county, tennessee. we take you now to newburg, indiana, the same cell that dropped the cell in harrisburg, illinois. it was an ef-1 status at this point with half the wind and half the strength of the harrisburg tornado, but still look at the damage from that. we showed you the radar live and we were on the air at the time and it continued to move across the ohio river, again, just south of evansville and then continuing east past that. all right, the threat for today, at least from this cell, these line of cells is over. we got a little bit of snow across the northeast. but across the parts of the midsection of the country, may see the storms fire up later on, again. the storms across alabama and georgia have thankfully weakened and still thunder and lightning with that. st. louis to memphis, that is your threat later today. not much of a tornado threat and straight line winds potentially doing some damage. tomorrow is whole other ball game. a potent system diving out of the northern rockies and right now the storm's prediction center has put a moderate risk out. when they do that two days in advance, ashleigh, that's a pretty big deal. tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow evening across the section and shifting a little bit further from the east than where you are. illinois, harrisburg, included, under this threat tomorrow. ashleigh? >> that is hard to believe that these people could withstand anything more, especially with the backdrop behind me. rob, one of the things that people said here, why they did have 25 minutes warning, if they heard the warnings and that helped many get to safe shelter, they were surprised how early this was. yesterday was just the end of february, that is kind of the dead of winter here. does that give us any indication going forward into the true tornado season how bad things could end up being? >> not necessarily. we had a horrible, horrible season last year and the dynamices of the winter. we had terribly cold winter last year and this year we had a warm winter. the gulf of mexico is warmer, that will increase the level of mew tidty and the tornado season will be terrible. that's just one ingredient. look how this spikes as we go through april and may. like you said, this is incredibly early to have this kind of outbreak and ef-4s this far north, especially. it's worrisome, but not an indicator of what we'll see later on this spring. ashleigh? >> all right, but, clearly, this community and many surrounding this community are going to have to be on high alert until we get through these next few hours and days. rob marciano, thanks so much for that. i want to reiterate, when i was speaking to dan evans earlier and he said this community is coming together and that volunteers are helping, there is also a way you can help. it doesn't matter if you're all the way up in washington state, you can help here, too. just go to cnn.com/impact. there are a number of different organizations that you can reach out to and help whether it's through, acetamy said from the red cross, blood, money or hours. a lot of people in great need here and else where and they could certainly use your help. again, cnn.com/impact. go to the website and see how yourself can be a part of the recovery effort. zoraida, back to you. >> thank you very much, ashleigh. still ahead on "early start" costa alegia makes it to land. 300 passengers spent three days without power or showers. another mystery at sea. the fbi is investigating the disappearance of a female passenger from this "celebration" cruiseliner. she was reported missing by her boyfriend. you're watching "early start." ♪ there's a place i dream about ♪ ♪ where the sun never goes out ♪ ♪ and the sky is deep and blue ♪ ♪ won't you take me american flight 280 to miami is now ready for boarding. ♪ there with you fly without putting your life on pause. be yourself. nonstop. american airlines. forty years ago, he wasn't looking for financial advice. back then, he had something more important to do. he wasn't focused on his future but fortunately, somebody else was. at usaa we provide retirement planning for our military, veterans and their families. now more than ever, it's important to get financial advice from people who share your military values. call now for our free guide and tips on planning for your retirement this tax season.

anyone critical? >> there were some people that i would say are exceptionally serious. >> is your family okay, sir? >> my family is fine. our hearts go out and our prayers go out to the families that were, you know, killed here and there were so many that were injured. we have probably at least 100 that were injured, of course, that ranges from cuts with gl s glass, stepping on a nail to severe trauma. we had several with broken bones and potential internal injuries from being thrown about from the tornado. >> sheriff brown, i certainly hope you can get through this and certainly emerge on the other end. better, stronger people and our hearts go out to you and your community here, as well. >> well, the community at large has come together to work with us, as well as the state. we've talked to a lot of the federal folks and they're coming in today to look at the area. we certainly are hoping that they'll be able to give us a hand in getting the community where it needs to be. >> i know you haven't slept much. thank you for being here. >> it's been a short night. >> sheriff keith brown joining us live in harrisburg, illinois. harrisburg the worst hit, but, my goodness, rob, at last count five states dealing with major tornado damage or straight line wind or some kind of horrible storm damage. >> and to the south, kentucky, they got hit hard. several tornadoes around this time yesterday that were rolling across that state just south of the ohio river. this is video out of greenville, kentucky. one of the spots where an ef-2 tornado hit this area, destroying a number of homes and, obviously, knocking out power. this was one of four that rolled across the state. another one in elizabeth town causing injuries and fatalities, as well. several states this tornado outbreak in the month of february, which is hard enough to believe. we are going to recharge the atmosphere, not just today, but especially tomorrow as this storm exits, which, by the way, bringing snow to the northeast and this one drops in. meantime, a threat a day out. across parts of the south and east and good news with this round of storms. the same storm that dropped the tornados and the severe weather yesterday. from st. louis to memphis, probably severe weather and not looking at a widespread outbreak today and not a tremendous threat for tornadoes but straight line winds potentially doing some damage there. tomorrow when that chunk of energy comes out of the rockies, more moisture from the gulf of mexico and in similar spots tomorrow under the gun as what we saw yesterday maybe shifting things a little bit east. the track is a little further to the east, but from indianapolis, louisville, nashville and even back through southern illinois, ashleigh, we're looking for the threat in the way oratornado tomorrow. a worrisome graphic. back to you. >> you and i talked only 25, 35 minutes ago where this all emulated from and it was kansas. hard to think about 24 hours ago being on the air and talk about harveyville and we have updated reports from harveyville, that's southwest of topeka, kansas, if you're trying to get an image of where it is. the tornado that touched down was an f-2 tornado. the tornado here where i am, it was an f-4. an fh-2, you don't want to be near that either. the wind speeds were topping out at 130 miles an hour there, causing a great deal of damage and, also, one person we're told is in critical condition as a result of that storm system moving there. one of the survivors, who actually weathered what is often called the sound of a fright train coming close is gemma collins. >> it sounded like a train was coming through town and we don't have a train here. your ears felt, you know when it's in an airplane and it just pops, that's what it did. my daughter was by the window and my chairs were spinning outside the window. all that stuff that is over here was on top of me, i was inside that bathtub. i couldn't move. it was just really rough. >> what was going through your mind? >> i swore we were going to die. all i could do was pray. >> it's always difficult to hear those survivor accounts. i want to show you one thing, zoraida. among some of the damage i just spotted 30 seconds ago, like a garden stone here on the front and i put it together to read what was on it. let me see if i can lift it up for you. it is quite telling as i read the words inscribed. our hearts still with sadness and our tears still flow. what it's meant to lose you, you can never know. i absolutely can't believe i found this at the site where five people just died within the last 24 hours. if anybody is watching and you want to help out, a number of ways you can. always go to the red cross website and go to cnn.com/impact. we have a number of organizations that are all collated right into that particular website and you can choose what you want to do as the red cross says, blood, money or your hours, your work. blood, sweat and tears, so to speak. but certainly the people here could use the help. >> would you imagine that folks want to go through and sift through all the remains and find things like you found. will they be allowed back in? >> no, there's a curfew in place. the only way we're here is through the permission and authority of the sheriff. the people who wesurvived this can't come back and the people who lost their loved ones can't come back. i don't know how long that is going to be. usually it takes a while to get remains because that is critical in these circumstances but also the danger of the downed power lines and gas leaks. >> thank you, ashleigh, we'll check back in with you. still ahead on "early start" stranded at sea for days without power and no toilets and no real food. this guy is actually smiling. passengers on "costa allegra" are back on land sharing cruise ship horror stories now. we'll talk with actress maria bello with her work with women in places like haiti. you're watching "early start." ♪ dave, i've downloaded a virus. yeah. ♪ dave, where are we on the new laptop?

>> it's the international women's day conference on capitol hill with the group that i work with has put together and we're addressing the issue this year of violence against women. as you said before, one in three women will be victims of gender-based violence in their lifetime. >> what motivated you to focus on women's issue. you have a full life and a full career. >> and a 10-year-old to boot, who is going to be 11 on monday. >> congratulations. >> thank you. i studied international women's rights at university. i have been doing it for the last 26 years. i started working in haiti about four years ago and right after the earthquake, started my own organization called we advance as a direct result of the earthquake, realizing that my women friends on the ground who were local women's organizations who were doing extraordinary things were not getting any of the big funding. the billions of dollars that were coming in was not going down to the local level to the women who were really doing the work. >> tell us about the women in haiti and how they're suffering and how they're struggling. >> i would like to tell how you how they're struggling and there is still 500,000 people in idp camps. our police government is doing a fantastic job, i think, clearing them out. the women are really vulnerable. 30% say they have been victims of gender-based violence in the camps and the main thing that they need is a house because a lot can be cured with a door and a lock. but there's also stories of hope. we just had the last, this is the last day today of our international women's conference in haiti. vital voice and bank of america put together a conference. 40 women from the provinces come together and women from all over the world, including myself and florence from liberia and women from cambodia and the united states gathering together to put together an integrated women's platform where we're bringing to the president this evening. i really believe in haitian women know what haitian women need and local solutions to haitian problems. >> and, specifically, i was reading that you say that giving the money to haitian women is the smart thing to do, why? >> that's right. people say, oh, to think about women and girls is important. it's not important, it's just smart. it's statistically proven that when women hold the purse strings in a family, more money goes to their children's health and education. the more women that are in elected position, the more democratic the country is. so, it's just the smart thing to do. and to work towards women's economic opportunity in haiti right now, to work towards their full political participation and to work towards a cultural shift that allows women's voice to be heard and reconstruction is very important. and also to push our government to take into account women's voices in all of their federal funding and assistance. >> doing what you're doing right now, raising the awareness. i can't let you go without asking what projects you're working on. >> i'm happy to say that this summer, starting in may, we're starting grownups 2. if you saw grownups 1 with adam sandler and kevin james and salma hayek, one of the funniest movies i have ever seen or ever done. it should be a hoot of a summer on cape cod. >> maria bello actress and activist, thank you for being with us today. >> thank you so much. time to check stories making news this morning. now, at least 12 people have died in that tornado outbreak across the midwest. six alone in the southern illinois town of harrisburg. five of them actually in the building that ashleigh has been standing in front of all morning. 20 twisters were spotted in at least seven states. devastating images there. and the numbers are in from the wyoming caucuses and mitt romney comes out on top. the former massachusetts governor defeating rick santorum by seven points while picking up ten more delegates to santorum's nine. and it is the end of a nightmare at sea. the crippled "costa allegra" cruise ship reaching land after losing power on monday. it was towed by a french fishing boat with over 1,000 passengers aboard. we'll finally hear from those passengers. soledad o'brien will join us with a look at what is ahead on "starting point." good morning to you, soledad. >> hey, zoraida, good morning. we'll pick up where ashleigh was reporting from. this is the apartment complex that five people died when the tornado came through. as you can see from the damage here, it's really what caused the number of deaths in harrisburg. a terrible story to tell you about. we'll update you on those personal, individual stories of what happened to the victims here in this apartment complex. we'll also tell you what happened across the united states, as well, as the storms ripped through from kansas, kentuck kentucky, tennessee. we'll talk about that when "starting point" gets under way in about ten minutes or so. it nurtures hair back to strong, healthy life. our exclusive active naturals wheat protein formula works with your hair, targeting damage, restoring strength and resilience for up to 90% less breakage in just three washes. find peace with your hair.

[ male announcer ] go to colacecapsules.com for savings. we have breaking news from afghanistan. cnn learning two soldiers killed overnight were americans. let's go right to cnn's nick payton walsh. he's live in kabul. nick, what can you tell us? >> well, confirmed at this point that two of their personnel were shot dead on the base in southern afghanistan. they say one man believed to be an afghan soldier and another man a civilian, who could have perhaps been a teacher opened fire killing these two personnel and then shot dead by the other soldiers on the base. we understand one afghan official, though, that these soldiers were americans working in an area in kandahar and that apparently this teacher, as far as they're aware, bear in mind, this information is always very preliminary and could change over time. as far as they are aware, this particular teacher was by the taliban who had been there for approximately a year at this point. the motivation is unclear but all of this feeds into the wlast week's worth of similar incidents. two soldiers shot dead on a base in the east. two senior american officers shot dead in the securest part of the interior industry on saturday in kabul. six americans in the past week all from men apparently in afghan army uniform turning their weapons upon them. the only actual casualties in the past week have been from instance like this and it's really going to play into that whole feeling of trust that afghan soldiers have with the americans they work alongside. their cooperation so vital so american troops can start to go home. >> nick, is this being tied at all to the koran burning and the tension that is still existing because of that? >> i think it never to believe that there will be some people drawing connections, although there is no statement to that effect from anybody. they won't comment on their own going investigation, the afghan official we spoke to said this is somebody put in that role by the taliban a year ago. perhaps they chose to strike because of this afghan wave of anger at the koran burnings, but it doesn't appear this is an operation put into effect because of that instant. but, still, going to feed into that wider sense of anger and distrust growing afghanistan. >> nick paton walsh for us live in kabul, thank you very much. still ahead on "early start" live continuing coverage of the tornado destruction in america's heartland. the threat is not over yet, adding insult to injury. there are more storms headed that way. you're watching "early start."
