a beautiful suburban community, lush tree, swimming bools, now it's all gone. we have eyewitness praying for his life as a tornado touched down. many of them were in their basement. take a listen. >> our faurkts who art in heaven, they kingdom name, give us this day, our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses. >> reporter: a lot of people were in church when this happened, people in their basements and homes, this gentleman and his loved ones wereplay praying where they were. he said it was like the winds had hands, grabbing trees and building, twisting them like straws. so far if terms of number, it's very early here. we have been told, there were reports that six people were killed. there is a lot of assessing going on the terms of how big the storm, what all those measurements they have to do. we do know that 100 million people were threatened in 26 states. michigan, missouri, indiana, ohio. this wasn't just one storm, 81 tornadoes were reported in all. we will cover this storm like no other network can. first, we will take a look, though. here's the story. it's like being under attack. over 80 massive funnel clouds slash across the country within hours sunday. >> our father, who art in heaven. >> prayers echoed through basements as a monster size twister roors above. central illinois took the brunt of the furry, a string of tornadoes, left several dead, dozens injured. >> we may need to take shelter ourselves. >> reporter: newscasters were brushed off air. >> we will be back as soon as we can. >> reporter: wind reports of 200 miles an hour spun entire blocks of homes to the foundation. >> i felt the house ake shaking and waited probably a minute and i came back up and saw what you are seeing here. >> reporter: in a community, officials went door-to-door to check for gas leaks. one described the aftermath as a war zone. >> i'm just devastated. i just feel sick. >> reporter: in book part, it hit two mobile home parks. >> i don't have anything. my whole, i don't know where it went. >> reporter:wide spread funnel clouds spotted in chicago. >> please clear the seating area calmly. >> reporter: they were forced to evacuate soldiers field, delaying if bear's game. once the twister passed, there was a new plast of energy, clean-up efforts, waves of people coming to aid, looking for survivors, looking for valuables, toppled semis pulled upright. most importantly, spirits raised. >> we will make it through it. we are so grateful the lord preserved so many lives here. equally amazing, you see flags flying all over here, we will talk about how if men and women already started the rebuild, the res cow effort, the relief effort here, we will bring in the mayor of the city of washington, talk to him about it. again if terms of the scope of people, 123 million were threatened by these storms, we are in illinois, in neighboring indiana, reports of close to two dozen tornadoes, one of the hardest hit cities was cocomo, any, that's where we are on the ground with george howl. >> reporter: good morning, this community remains under a state of emergency, people were told to stay indoors as crews deal with the devastation, one of which i want to show you, this fire station, look at the fire truck. the roof collapsed obvious top of it. even the firefighters knee help this morning. that is what we expect to see, more damage, the good news here, no one was killed but the winds here were strong enough. i want to show you this, to send big pieces of metal leak this flying. new police dash-cam video captured this twister in boone county, indiana sunday, watch as it passes closely to this semi truck t. damage so extensive more than 160,000 residents found themselves without power this morning. entire communities were destroyed. the force even toppleing a car in this starbucks parking lot. patrons were temporarily trapped inside but lucky for the escape. tornado warnings were issued across the region last night putting wisconsin, missouri and ohio all on edge. this time lapse shows the storm overtake the indianapolis skyline sunday afternoon. the resulting tornadoes tore across multiple towns, crews worked in darkness, headlights from their emergency vehicles the only source of light in one of the hardest hit areas in indiana t. storm brought wind gusts powerful enough to tear the top from this home sundaying it f sending it flying to the mild of the road. this man searches through what used to be his living room. damage from the storm system spread to neighboring states, like wisconsin. trees were uprooted and houses sustained extensive damage in allentown. you can hear and see the strength of the storm blowing fast through st. louis and in milwaukee, thick black clouds moved in, in just a matter of minutes. so without a light, can you see some of the debris that went around. again with light of day, there will be a lot more to see. just over there, there is a mall where the roof is ripped off. many of the businesses here, the windows have been busted out a. lot of people without power. we do expect the governor here to tour the damage here in the next couple of hours. chris. >> all right. george, thank you very much. we will be coming back to you. not having power is huge, i am here with meteorologist indra petersens. we wanted to give context to what is behind us. it's hard to see what was when you see what's lost. take a look at the goggle map. indra and i have been looking at this, this morning to get context out of it. take a look at this street, this is gillman avenue. this is what this looked like, beautiful ranches, manicured lawns, really, a beautiful community here in washington, some 15,000 people. now you look at what it has become, obviously, indra, this is a show of force what hit the ground here. >> the fact that we need to be locking at. we node to look at what kind of structures were here and what is left now t. way you actually determine the strength of a fornd confuses people. the national weather service will come out and survey the damage. they will be talking about how strong were the winds, they were able to create every thing that you see here. you are talking about literally the trees, seeing the bark ripped off of these trees, maybe interior walls left here. all of that has to be identified, put no a chart and identify how strong was the system. we all know this is so atypical for november. we are talking more tornado in one day yesterday than you typically see for the entire month of november. so what caused this? what actually happened, we had temperatures here a good 20 degrees above normal. that's nothing typical than what you see in the springtime. you have these strong winds, that was the key. winds were gusting, 70, 80 miles per hour that made up for that temperature. you combine that with the jet stream the system making its way across, you add all those surface elements that caused these tornadoes we saw yesterday, unfortunately, we're looking at devastation here. you are not talking about losing interior walls, worry talking about many buildings made of brick and cinder blocks. we will evaluate, how strong were these wind and we will fine out in the afternoon once they survey that damage, chris. >> reporter: i tell you, this is terrible. it's not the worst we seen in a lot of the communities. in some places there are no trees or nothing. the assessment will have to take place. even though it was so horrible here. we have people out in force after, the recovery has already begun. there is a lot of node. i want to bring in the mayor, he will come in and join us in a second. he will do us a favor and step out. mr. mayor, it's great to be here. you got the illinois shirt on, the fighting illini, never more true than what needs to happen in the community right now. >> you are exactly right. >> reporter: tell us what is the experience right now? >> devastation, sadness, people that lost everything. i served 13 years ago i never would have dreamed something like this would be something that i was tasked to try to help. our residents are so resilient. we're a volunteer based community that reaches out for neighbors and as i was heading through this subdivision at one point yesterday, the people weren't worried about what they lost, they were worried about their neighbors. they were searching you know not only the fire and rescue, the neighbors were sveng for neighbors. >> you are fortunate in the community, a lot of people were in church. they had basements, safe rooms. but tell me the experience of the amount of warnings, how quickly did it hit? >> i think obviously because of the type of injuries we have seen so far and the death total, we haven't really got a count on. that we heard maybe one. if that's the case the warning was in plenty of time. again, nof is so unusual. for everybody to take it serious everybody kept saying it's really warm today. my wife opened the door and said, why do have you the door opened? it seemed to get warmer and warmer. >> reporter: now in terms of the spirit we are hearing about from people. we know they are helping. we were talking a man will be on the show with us later on, a pig farmer. he said his home was destroyed people came right away. 100 people lchlts. >> we turned people away. it's not just washington the surrounding areas. we had doctors, nurse, emts, firemen, policemen, the surrounding community didn't even wait for our phone call for help. they started showing up. >> reporter: no power still? >> still no power. >> reporter: any timing on when these essentials will be back? >> we came at 8:00 this morning for a breakdown. there is 90,000 people in illinois that are out that we know of, so, i mean, i was blessed to have a roof over my head, a cold sour. i had a roof over my head. obviously, people are in shelter, staying with loved ones, hotel, if they are able to get one, we're going to rebuild, jump back up off the canvass and fight and be what once was. i think we can do it. >> one of the fast growing communities in illinois, the people, did they say why? >> we are here, help let us know what the need is, the fighting illini, showing the spirit already. thank you for joining us. we will be here all morning telling you the story of what happened around the country. there is other news as well. >> thank you so much. making fuse at this hour, safety officials are investigating a colorado silver mine accident that killed two workers and injured at
