Transcripts For CNNW The Situation Room With Wolf Blitzer 20110524

relations. are the tensions of recent days any worse? any better? i'm wolf blitzer and you're in "the situation room." first, breaking news this hour. a large tornado has been spotted on the ground in oklahoma and storm-ravaged missouri is being hit by severe weather and possible in the coming hours, searchers in joplin have been taking advantage of the break in the bad weather for a few hours now. 17 people have been pulled alive from the rubble as of last night. but the death toll is far greater. up to 118 right now and that makes this the deadliest single tornado on record in the united states since the weather service began keeping records 60 years ago. almost 500 people have been killed by tornadoes in this country so far this year, including one in that storm and a security camera gives another look at the power of the twisters and how much damage they can do literally in an instant. now more on the twister reported on the ground in oklahoma just minutes ago. the danger potentially with joplin, missouri as well. let's bring in chad myers who is monitoring -- it's the last thing that these folks needed. >> exactly. it's just west of he will reno, this tornado that we're talking about on i-40, crossing i-40. so people are in their cars driving into a cell, into a storm, not even realizing that they are driving into a tornado. there will be cars off the road and cars blown away. there will be tractor-trailers blown over. this cell right now is heading to another town in oklahoma, in the next ten minutes they are in danger of being hit by another tornado, two or three on a scale of ef storms. it's half a mile wide moving across the interstate. there's oklahoma city. so west of there. moving into calumet. we have our eyes on it. we have our men up there driving up and down looking for the cells and helicopter shots from koco. the problem with the cells today, and i think this will be the problem for many of the hours that we see this, is that they are called wrapped in rain. there is so much rain wrapped around the tornado that you can't literally see it. even if you're being looking outside and say there is nothing coming my way except rain, it just looks like rain but it's not. this is the only second tornado of the day and there may be many more. there may be 20 to 50 tornadoes. this is a high risk day and even high risk and good possibilities for joplin, missouri. it will take a while. joplin is way up there. but there will be many tornadoes on the ground. have that noaa radio on today. >> as you pointed out to our viewers, this year tornadoes seem to be so much more powerful than over recent years. >> yes. many times we get storms that line up and they are called squall line storms. they are all in a line and they all fight for the energy. they all fight for the moisture. the storms today are not in the line. there is one there and there's one there and another here and another here. as they are separated from the other cells they are called super cell tornadoes. or super cell thunderstorms. they rotate because they are not being affected by all of the other storms around them. they are their individual sell if and roll through with big tornadoes and that's what we've seen three or four times, three or four events this year where major tornadoes, 200 miles per hour and at some points even greater than that have rolled through big towns. joplin officially was only rated 198. i don't know who is splitting hairs between 198 and 200 miles per hour, wolf. >> i don't think anyone can tell the difference. let us know what the latest is. chad myers, thank you. let's go to the disaster and the rescue operation. >> reporter: they are on the ground working 24/7 and going to the damaged areas. they are working on a grid system. that's what they started working at. going by foot, neighborhood by neighborhood, block by block. the weather may complicate things later on today. you heard chad talking about the tornado watch in this general area in the country but we may get thunderstorms later tonight, which could complicate the rescue efforts. getting more information about the death toll of the 118 people right now reported killed. 11 died in one place, the greenbriar nursing home. two people from that nursing home remain in critical condition. now, we talked about the injured, the dead, about several hundred people were injured but about 1500 people remain unaccounted for. that's what the rescuers are searching for. however, one city official said as they open up some of these areas and people start trickling back to their homes or what is left, that number of people should dwindle. the city manager spoke more at length about the rescue efforts. >> we are still in search and rescue mode and will be for the foreseeable future. we are working on that and have had a wonderful outpouring of support from volunteers coming into our community to affect that search and rescue and we are involved in that and hopefully we'll get a little cooperation so far today with the weather and in order to do that as efficiently as possible. >> one official said that by late tonight, by the time the sun goes down tonight, they hope to be finished with their primary and secondary rescue efforts. we'll show you what they have to deal with. look at this area in here. landscape tells you everything. they have to go through collapsed buildings, roofs that were caved in and they are going to have to find any kind of void or pocket where someone might have a breath of life left. it's a pain staking process and takes a long time. they are not ready to give up on any of this yet. with the landscape the way it is, the nature of the buildings, the flattened boards and brick and mortar, it's hard to walk. now they have the weather to worry about later on tonight. that's something that we'll keep tabs on, wolf. >> i'm confused about why they think that the 1500 number, those people still missing listed officially as missing, why that would dwindle as folks get back to see their homes. >> reporter: well, they say that a lot of people have left town or have not been able to be in touch with their loved ones as they search for a place to say. cell phone service is almost nonexistent in most of this area. e-mail, blackberry service also very, very spotty. so traditional and more modern methods of communication is not available to people. when they leave town or try to go to some place relatively close to here to find shelter, they are having a difficult time communicating with their loved ones. when people trickle back and circulate back to this area, maybe that number will dwindle. >> let's hope it does. dwindle is good. brian, thank you. president obama will get a firsthand look at the tornado damage in joplin. he's scheduled to visit the disaster zone this coming sunday. the president took time out from his official meeting in england to talk about the storm devastation back home. >> i want everybody in joplin and minnesota across the midwest to know that we are here for you. the american people are by your side we're going to stay there until every home is repaired, until every neighborhood is rebuilt, until every business is back on its feet that's my commitment and that's the american people's kmimts. >> people in joplin and across the country are turning to social media to try to get information about missing loved ones. a 1 1/2-year-old named skyular got lost in the chaos after the tornado hit on sunday. we'll have more ahead. we'll talk to a woman who is desperately searching for her 16-year-old son. when the tornado came barrelling through joplin, people sought cover anywhere that they could, including a refrigerator inside of a local pancake house. casey is joining us from joplin with more on this part of the story. amazing stories of survival, casey. >> reporter: it really is. we met a man who will not admit to being a hero but he helped rescue three dozen people eating and working in an i-hop when the tornado hit. >> people cleared debris around. >> reporter: danny is the manager of this demolished i hop restaurant. he was on duty when the tornado struck on sunday. >> started getting dark and it was hailing and the siren went off and we sensed it was a tornado watch. we're used to this kind of stuff so tp wasn't scared at the beginning but after that it kept getting worse and worse. >> reporter: inside, 30 customers and six employees. >> debris started hitting the windows and stuff and you could hear the noises before the window breaks. everybody got stared and stuff. we thought the best place to go was to the back and hide. everybody went through this way inside to the back, just away from the window, away from any glasses or so nobody would get hurt. >> reporter: what were you hearing? >> a lot of noise like a train. a lot of noises. people gathered and there are too many so it was crowded. they managed to get inside the walk-in and inside the freezer. so as you see, it wouldn't fit many people. >> 15 people in the refrigerator, 15 in the freezer and the rest huddled outside. imagine one of the 15 people crammed inside this walk-in refrigerator waiting out the tornado. had to be even scarier because there was no light and they were in here for about five minutes hoping and praying. once the noise stopped, customers and employees got out and surveyed the damage. it had to be shocking to see near total devastation among plates of food along the table. >> thank god nobody got hurt and everybody was fine. >> reporter: his house was destroyed yet two days after the storm he has nothing but kind words for his adopted town. >> people come all together and make through it. i'm very proud of the joplin people. >> reporter: as for the future of the restaurant -- >> is it going to be rebuilt? >> definitely it's going to come back better than before. >> reporter: two of the people in that i hop eating dinner on sunday night were members of the missouri state legislature and very happy to be alive thanks to the restaurant manager, danny. >> a hero indeed. thank you for that. casey wian, we'll check back with you. a joplin pastor says he knows why he destroyed the tornado that destroyed his chunk. the unique power of prayer. and a love fest up on capitol hill today. president obama's vision for middle east peace. >> israel will not return to the boundaries of 1957.

>> reporter: less than 24 hours sense the heaviest nato bombardment and already we are hearing six explosions coming from the facility of the gadhafi compound which is the same direction of the strikes that were coming from yesterday. we still have jets circling overhead and anti-aircraft fire. the strike does not seem to be over yet but it seems to be in the same location that they were striking yesterday, wolf. >> seems like they are going after moammar gadhafi. we'll check back in with you. let's check in with jack. he has the cafferty file. >> it's just a thought and i know these trips are planned way in advance, but what message is conveyed by pictures of president obama downing a pent of guinness and laughing it up with the irish people or playing ping pong while the people of joplin search for wreckage and dead family members? it's estimated that 80 million people could be affected by the continuing threat of severe weather and impact cities like obama ma, wichita can delaria ss and joplin could get hit again. we're already experienced the worst tornado outbreak in 50 years. meanwhile, we've air lifted the first family and the gang that travels with them to europe for six days of hobnobbing with various heads of state, eating the finest foods, drinking the finest wines while mother nature tears the hearts out of innocent people's lives. remember katrina? i can't help that voters remember well katrina when they elected america's first african-american president, like i said, just a thought. the question is this. what message is sent to the people of joplin, missouri, by the president's trip to europe? go to cnn.com/caffertyfile and post a comment on my file. >> is he going to go there on sunday after he returns from europe. >> i am aware of that, wolf. >> okay. thank you. a close personal bond between the united states and president netanyahu. our senior congressional correspondent dana bash is up on capitol hill. she watched it all unfold. she's got the details. pretty enthusiastic reception for the prime minister, i should say. >> reporter: that's an understatement, wolf. this is the sixth time that an israeli prime minister has addressed the joint session of congress. and the speech that generated more than two dozen standing ovations was designed to show that despite public differences with the president, the u.s. needs israel and vice versa. the israeli prime minister strolled in practically bouyant and played off the overwhelmingly friendly audience saying this about peace with palestinians. >> i will be prepared to make a far-reaching difference and i will accept a jewish state. and those six words will convince the people of israel that they have a true partner for peace. >> reporter: and he demanded that ahmadinejad backed by the palestinian version of al qaeda. that we will not do. >> reporter: until now, president prime minister and anger over president obama's call to return to borders before the 1967 war with land swaps. here a stark contrast. lawmakers in both parties made clear on this issue that they are on israel's side. and while the prime minister reiterated his demand for a united jerusalem -- >> jerusalem must never again be divided. >> reporter: hes also promised to make painful compromises and said for the first time publicly he's willing to give up west bank settlements. >> in any real peace agreement, in any peace agreement that ends the conflict some settlements will end up beyond's israeli's border. >> i felt it was not a proposal for speech. it was more talking about war than peace. >> reporter: still, this address was not intended to break new ground. it was a prime minister comfortable in his surroundings trying to illustrate that israel's bond with the u.s. is still strong. >> israel has no better friend than america and america has no better friend than israel. >> reporter: it's a top priority for both the obama administration and congress and there's a great deal of concern about growing international support for a united nation vote. that concern is that it could take away some of israel's leverage and any peace talks. as you know, obama officials are saying that that is why the president tried to sublickly to push israel to make concessions now. >> that's what they are saying. thank you very much. foreign leaders have a long history of speaking to joint members of congress. they have addressed congress the most often eight times each mexican dignitaries have addressed congress eight times and ireland has each made six congressional speeches. now prime minister netanyahu, it's the seventh time that an israeli leader has addressed the joints leader of congress. i'm sitting down with prime minister netanyahu later tonight. our interview will air tonight. there's much more in on the deadly tornado. i'll speak with a senator from the state that has surveyed the damage upclose. plus, mohammed ali making a personal plea to iran. we're going to tell you why. oss. we're adding new cell sites... increasing network capacity, and investing billions of dollars to improve your wireless network experience. from a single phone call to the most advanced data download, we're covering more people in more places than ever before in an effort to give you the best network possible. at&t. rethink possible. in an effort to give you the best network possible. we search, browse, and shop from anywhere. we live in a social world. isn't time we had a social currency to match?

>> well, wolf, thanks for taking the time to talk about this. i was there most of the day today and i've been in joplin hundreds of times. it's about an hour from where i live. it's in my old congressional district and the most amazing thing to me was how every single street looked just the same. the landmarks and the area hit by the tornado were gone. every street, no matter what had been there before was just piles of rubble. it wasn't like a tornado where a roof is blown off every other house and a tree is down in the yard. this is incredibly destructive and it's -- it probably destroyed about 2,000 homes and lots of businesses. and we've got great volunteers coming in from all over the state and in fact i think from around the country to try to help find people and to help take care of people. >> we've been reporting that 1500 people are listed as missing right now, although they hoped that folks would get back to their homes and find some of them. what do you know about this part of the story, the search and rescue operation? >> well, i don't think they really know. i know that talking to the fire chief today they found one other person alive earlier today as i was leaving one area they thought maybe they were hearing some noise from a walmart, a collapsed walmart building that might be somebody pounding on pipes there. i know that they were taking the last runs through that with dogs today to see if they could get a sense that there was anybody else there. i think they are very uncertain about numbers. a lot of people have probably gone to the family that lived close or somebody picked them up and they just don't know how many people they are looking for at this point and one of the efforts is try to begin to figure out who is still missing. there was a nursing home that was destroyed and not all of those people have been accounted for yet. they were taken out of the nursing home to try to get them out of the area was a challenge. i talked to one set of volunteers, wolf, that had a friend of there's had went to home depot with two young children. those three bodies were found yesterday and the mother who was going to home depot to maybe pick up a light bulb is now without the family that i'm sure she loved so much and there are lots of stories like that, a lot of people will be impacted by this devastating tornado. >> such heartbreaking stories indeed. $3 billion to reconstruct the devastation in joplin and the surrounding areas. the majority leader in the house says the federal government should provide assistance to the people in the government but wants there to be cuts in other federal spending in order to justify providing this financial assistance to the people in missouri. what do you think about that? >> well, i think this is an area where federal taxpayers want to come in and be helpful. these programs that we've established for this are designed to do exactly that but they are never funded for this kind of disaster and, by the way, a lot of those millions of reconstruction will happen through insurance and other things but i know that eric later today said off sets could come. and congress will make it, the other tornadoes one of our priorities to figure out you a with you doulgd ugsz pugsd thult to cohave this kind of need and the cost will clearly be joplin, missouri. >> certainly will be. senator, good luck out there. our hearts go out to those that have suffered so much. bad weather is on the way. >> thanks to all of the people around the country that are responding and helping those in joplin that are struggling. >> in a moment we're going to tell our viewers how they can help if they want to help people in missouri and elsewhere. senator roy blunt of missouri. thanks very much. st. mary perish is one of the is one of the many buildings that has survived but the pastor survived. jacqui jeras is there. >> reporter: it's providing hope and encouragement by people that have been affected by this disaster. they really need to hear good news out of all of this. the 70-year-old pastor was able to walk out of this devastation without a scratch. this was the building that you were in? >> yes. >> reporter: there is almost nothing left but rubble where he served this community for the past 15 years. he survived the tornado by seeking haven? what he had always heard was the safest place, the bathroom. >> i got in the bathtub and tried to cover my head and i heard this noise, and i thought, oh, what is happening. i laid there and prayed and said if thy will be done and i decided to wait until the end of the noise and then i opened that door and everything was blocking it. it was all covered there. >> reporter: he waited there, trapped for nearly an hour after the tornado had passed before his parishioners managed to find him. >> i hollered at the top of my voice. i said, where are you? and i pulled some kind of a board, like you can see the boards there, i pulled one off and put it in the air. >> reporter: amazingly, he was uninjured and said god got him through the storm. what was going through your mind at the time? you said you were praying? >> i was. and for some reason i was okay. i said, you know, god, if this is what is meant to be, i said, you know, how much i love you. >> reporter: the parishioners that have shown up are leaning heavily on their faith. >> sometimes you think it happens to put life into perspective. >> reporter: and while there is nothing left of the church, the metal cross stands high across miles of devastation. >> i saw the cross standing and i thought how powerful and it gives us hope that god is still with us. >> reporter: father monday hand says that joplin is a faith-based it community but many have been asked why they have been burdened with such a tragedy. >> god allows things to happen and we don't know why. but when we look back, we always hear the good things that happen as a result. >> reporter: and some of those good thing are still happening right now at st. mary's catholic church. it's become a gathering spot for the parishioners here and they have been going through this rubble trying to save anything that they can. in fact, a 10-year-old boy today found the pastor's bible and he was very happy to receive that. believe it or not, this church has been hit by a tornado before, wolf, that happened back in the late '80s. much of the building was damaged but that cross still standing since the 1940s. >> what a heartbreaking story indeed. thank you very much. please give our best to all of those people there. you can help. you can help right now. to find out what you can do, how to help, those who have been devastated by these tornadoes in missouri g. to cnn.com/impact. you'll find all of the organizations and the way to help those in need. cnn.com/impact. i recommend that you do it and do it now. the mother of a 16-year-old boy missing since the monster tornado hit joplin. she's been through a lot in the last few hours alone. and it's likely to be a mega hit movie. will it be derailed by a lawsuit?

>> air traffic controllers are bracing for a dense cloud of ash from a volcano in iceland. it's already reached london's heathrow's airport and is expected to engulf all of the area in a matter of hours. boxing great ali is calling for the release of the two american hikers jailed in iran and is appealing to the country. also on hand, the third hiker, sarah shourd, released in september. the two men are currently awaiting trial on spying charges. u.s. officials maintain that they are innocent. and the mastermind behind the hit shows survivor and the apprentice is now taking on a new genre, the bible. mark burnett is going to provide a scripted show based on the holy book and provide biblical stories such as noah's arc. and the much anticipated new movie "the hangover 2" will not be delayed by a pending lawsuit. warner brothers is being sued by the man who gave mike tyson his facial tattoo. the movie will continue despite that. >> copyright infringement is the argument i guess that they are making. we have breaking news. chad myers is working the new tornado rolling through oklahoma. >> it went across i-40 as a very large wedged tornado. it looks like a wedge with the bottom being cut off, with the bottom being half a mile wide. this tornado right now, it's hard to see because it's wrapped in rain. i'll go to the radar until i get a better shot, it's just to the northwest of oklahoma city. piedmont, oklahoma, you need to take cover now. all the way to the northwest expressway. this is moving one mile north of elreno and is going to continue into the piedmont, oklahoma region. the town is in danger at this point in time for a tornd that would at least be 150 miles per hour if not bigger than that. i just saw this about a minute and a half ago but it wasn't wrapped in rain. what that means is that even though we know that there's a tornado in there, rain is now shrowding, and it's covering that tornado proper. we know it's there. we know it's headed to piedmont, oklahoma. if you're anywhere near that area, you need to be in a safe place now. this is a very large tornado on the ground. >> and define a safe place, chad. >> well, in oklahoma, i lived there for 2 1/2 years. there are very few basements. the safest place is inside your home, in between you and as many walls and the outside as you can. think about this. don't be on the very outside edge of your house where there is a window right there and you can see outside. put a wall and then another wall and then maybe a closet inside of a bedroom between you and the outside. anywhere down below ground is obviously the safest place to be. and there are also safe rooms that you can build or have built for you with kevlar anchored to the slab itself. they are a few thousand dollars but those safe rooms could have saved some lives. people in oklahoma have those safe rooms. they take their garage and blast the concrete out of the garage, on the bottom of the garage and then make a hole in the garage and literally build a cellar down below the garage door and put a big steel door on top of them. it's the only place to be safe, is underground with a tornado like this. >> chad, thank you. top republican in congress is raising some eyebrows for comments that he's made today about the joplin tornado. is eric cantor being insensitive. what is behind the link of a 9/11 attacks and iran?

violent tornado coming into piedmont. david, are you there? >> yeah, mike. can you hear me? >> yes. go. >> it's half a mile wide, another killer tornado. it went across highway 81 is when it intensified. it's half a mile wide. killer tornado. it crossed gregory road and now is going to cross northwest expressway in about a minute. it's crossing northwest expressway right now. it's crossing the northwest expressway. it's a maxi tornado and half a mile wide. no doubt about it. it looked just like it did an hour and a half ago. deadly, deadly tornado, mike, coming down both sides of the metro, back to you. >> chad, it's amazing because this -- these pictures happened literally just moments ago and it's so dramatic and scary. you've seen this kind of stuff before but no matter how many times you see it, you get scared. >> you understand there are people on the ground unable to get out of the way. there are other storm chasers on the ground. but there are people in this cell right now that cannot get away. even though they may be in their safe room, we know people in the safe room in joplin, but with a 198-mile-per-hour storm in joplin, missouri, they were killed even though they were in a safe place. this is a storm with the same type of speed moving into a populated area. storms happen in oklahoma all the time. there's ef-2s and 3s all the time mowing down wheat fields, and it doesn't make the news at all, not even local news. this is a big tornado hitting another major big populated area. people ask me all the time, wolf, why don't big tornadoes ever hit cities? you look down from an airplane, the cities are small compared to the farms that are just so large. there's just not as much city as there is farm, and so it's just a law of averages that typically that a storm will hit a farmland, a range land. the past -- this now three times from tuscaloosa and birmingham to joplin, missouri, and now into piedmont, oklahoma, they will be picking up the pieces. we hope the people are safe. this is a very large and deadly tornado on the ground headed west toward oklahoma city. >> is it moving back towards joplin too, this wave of tornadoes? >> in effect, but that would be four hours away, wolf. way beyond what this storm would hold together. but there will be lines and more storms today that fire in a densely humid air mass. there's cold air aloft. there's warm air. the sun was out all day. now the storms are rotating, super cell thunderstorms that could eventually -- i mean, oklahoma to joplin is a long drive, but they will stay together. the problem is they may get to joplin after dark, and that's even more dangerous. the people in joplin, what they have to understand is even a 40-mile-per-hour wind gust will move the debris that's already on the ground. these are not viable houses anymore. that's just debris that's about to get picked up. sheets of plywood about to be thrown around, not even in a tornado, just in any old thunderstorm. they need to be out of there. those rescue workers will be out of there. we'll have our crews out of there as well before it gets to joplin. i would say at least three to four hours lead time there. >> jeff, thanks very much. don't go too far away. we're monitoring the breaking news. a new wave of tornadoes in oklahoma now. much more on this part of the story coming up. and making their factories more environmentally friendly. producing products that save on fuel and emissions, and some that can be reused again. ♪ and promoting eco-friendly and safety driving campaigns. ♪ one team. one planet. bridgestone. let's bring in cnn.com contributor, the former speechwriter david fromme. eric cantor, the majority leader in the house, says he's going to try to find the money to help the people in missouri, but he wants to cut federal spending elsewhere to pay for it. some are saying that's heartless in a crisis like this. what say you? >> he shouldn't have said it on the record, but i know what he's worried about. it is a well-known practice in american politics to use disaster reconstruction as a way to help the party of the president. we've seen this often after major disasters. missouri is a battleground states. there are lots of opportunities after this tragedy for the party in power to pour money in, and cantor is trying to say there's going to be a break on how much money you can spend. >> some libertarians are saying the federal government should stay out all together, like congressman ron paul, for instance. >> today is not the day to give that answer. today is the day to say whatever needs to be done will be done. >> quickly, what was your assessment of prime minister netanyahu's address before a joint meeting of congress. >> i don't understand why president obama allowed this test of strength to be set up the way it was. he could have a very productive meeting with prime minister netanyahu with disagreements backstage. instead, he stumbled in his thursday speech, and then with his reemphasis on sunday in his confrontation. congress delivered a message through netanyahu to the world that the prime minister of israel has a lot of friends in the u.s. congress. >> if you speak to white house officials -- and you once were a white house official -- they say the president is trying to protect israel from a u.n. general assembly resolution in september that would call for a palestinian state. >> this resolution is a mind game on the american public. if you ever bought a car, when the salesman says, you have to close this deal now. it won't be there tomorrow. this attempt to create a sense of urgency around the september event. how many anti-israel resolutions have the u.n. passed? this will just be one more, and there's no reason to be hasty sxun considered. >> i'm going to interview the president tomorrow night. it will air here in the situation room. let's go back to jack. he's got the kacafferty file. jack? >> the question is what message is sent to the people of missouri by the president? it took obama almost two months to go the gulf coast after the bp oil spill. now he's having a great time in europe visiting his cousins and the queen, but promises he'll be visiting the sites of the tornadoes on sunday. he's so busy. he'll probably need a vacation soon. donna in wisconsin. "get a life, jack. i am tired of you continually feeding the fires of negative thoughts on the president. his trip was already scheduled when the tornado hit. changing a president's itinerary is extremely difficult. not like you deciding to take a day off because the weather's nice. be real and stop the bashing." ed harris in pennsylvania, "i voted for obama and like him a great deal. as proud of him as i was when he announced the bin laden justice, i am embarrassed with him being in europe right now, especially with prime minister netanyahu uttering the first words to apec delegates when referring to joplin, america, we are with you. think about that." larry, "the saddest part about this, no republican can beat him, and no one in his own administration would say, mr. president, you really need to come home. whether it was bush reading a book during 9/11 or katrina or joplin, nothing changes." jeff in missouri, "i author a blog for the joplin globe called caldwell's corner and pen occasional editorials and columns. when i heard this morning dear leader was going to bless us with his presence on sunday, i couldn't believe t i just watched last night the disconnect between israeli's prime minister talking off script, giving support to america and joplin, in particular, and the news of obama searching for his irish roots and the perfect pint. my column today is quite negative, and i will most surely catch some flack for it. just wanted to thank you for lending your national profile to a thought that many of us here in joplin have been feeling all day." and joe finally in new york, "wow, jack what a loaded question. not getting enough negative responses these days? he was already on his way over there when the tornado hit. it's not like he headed off to europe after the tornado struck. i know he's a pretty good president, but it's not like he can wave a magic wand and make everything better just by being there. weather permitting, he'll be there sunday. keep your grumpily shirt on, jack." if you want to read more on this, go to my blog, cnn.com/caffertyfile. let's get right back to the breaking news. even as joplin, missouri, struggles to cope in the wake of that monster killer tornado. right now, right now another large violent tornado is reported near oklahoma city, and there's a very, very real threat that a new severe storm system could soon bring more misery to jopl joplin. we just saw an amazing scene from our affiliate in oklahoma as a storm chaser came right through the tornado. let's go back to chad myers in atlanta. chad, before we get back to you, let me play the video for viewers who didn't see it. this is courtesy of our affiliate kfor taken only a few moments ago. >> went across highway 81 when it reintensified. it's a half mile wide, kill letter tornado. it's going to cross gregory road. it's going to cross northwest expressway in about a minute. it's crossing right now. crossing northwest expressway. it's a massive tornado, half mile wide, no doubt about it. it looks just like it did an hour and a half ago. deadly, deadly, deadly tornado, mike, coming down the northwest side of the metro. back to you. >> let's bring in chad right now. chad, whenever i see these storm chasers -- and you know this particular storm chaser -- is it safer in the midst of a tornado to keep on driving, or should you park? >> i am shaking my head at his ability to stay with this storm because typically you will get into debris that has fallen on the roadways, and you'll be stopped. you won't be able to go any farther. david payne has been doing this a long time, and he is now following it to the east as it goes toward seward and up toward guthrie. it was kind of turning to the right, going up to edmund, oklahoma, which would be farther south. it appears now the city of guthrie. you would know downtown guthrie from rainman. that's where the downtown scenes were shot in guthrie, oklahoma, for the movie rainman. and its circulation is right here for four corners. here's oklahoma city proper. edmund, oklahoma, the tv stations are over here. as this continues to move to the north and to the northeast, there's nothing to slow it down. this storm is still on the ground with a half mile wide tornado, making damage as it travels all the way from about 40 miles west of the city of oklahoma. now it is north of the city of oklahoma on the ground doing damage to everything in its path with wind speeds as david was estimating, at at least 150 miles per hour. we know that the storm that moved through joplin, missouri, was an ef-4 tornado, estimated to be 190 to 198 miles per hour. there's no reason to believe that this storm at some point in its time being on the ground could not have been an ef-4 tornado. there will be fatalities. there will be casualties with this storm. there's no way to get out of the way sometimes of a 3 or 4 on the ef scale, wolf. >> stand by. i want to get back to you in a few moments. we've got a special guest. hundreds of joplin residents are still missing. one of them is lance hare. the 16-year-old was in his car sunday when the tornado struck. his mother has been searching desperately for any information about his fate. she joins us now from joplin. michelle, thank you so much. walk us through what happened. when was the last time you heard from your son lance? >> he was in the car. i was actually on the phone with him when the thunderstorm started, and it started hailing. i was about five miles away, totally out. and i called, and he said, i'm trying to get home. and i said, is that hail hitting the window? and he said yes. and that was -- the phones went dead. >> now, his friend who was in the car is alive. does he remember anything of what happened? >> that's correct. he remembers they got to the corner where they should have turned left to go to my house, but they could not see anything. i'm assuming my son knew that there was a grocery store parking lot, so he took a right, went up a block, and pulled into that parking lot. this is all confirmed by the friend. the next -- the front window blew out of the car. the friend, jonathan, jumped into the backseat. he said the back window blew out, and that's the last thing he remembers. he woke up in a van, just -- go ahead. >> i was going to say, sorry to interrupt you. >> he woke up in a van on the way to the hospital. >> when they found the car, was the location where he had parked it? >> it was over a set of railroad tracks about 300 feet approximately. >> now, today tell us what happened because you were told to go to the morgue. >> yeah. >> and what happened when you went -- they told you your son might be there. is that what they said to you? >> well, actually, what they really said was they went over the list of john does because, obviously now, somebody reported removing a body basically 20 feet from my car that night, matching my son's description. so we went there again, and basically they went through their list of john does, and there was -- mainly they tag by location and time, which we had now. they had no one at that location and time. the only john doe on the list is just a known male. so we still don't really -- we don't have any clue that it's him. obviously, location and description mean a lot. we've gotten lots of calls today that there are other kids -- finally kids that they're saying are just coming out of surgery still unconscious. so there's that possibility that he's still in a hospital somewhere, and of course, this morning we weren't certain that he still wasn't out there somewhere. so we went this morning and searched for six, seven hours. >> is it possible to go -- >> still don't have any definite. >> is it possible to go to all these hospitals -- >> we have to wait. >> and just walk around and see if your son may be there? >> the problem is these hospitals range -- we live, obviously, right in the heart, right in the corner, southwest corner of -- or whatever corner it is. i'm sorry. i'm from kansas originally. and people were flown everywhere from dallas to kansas city to wichita to st. louis, and all hospitals in between. i mean, you know, that's a trip that would take two weeks to go around and look at hospitals. >> i know you've created a facebook page too. >> and a phone number. that is correct. my sister-in-law created a page, and then also lantz's friends, who were the kids that originally found my car. they stayed out all night and all day looking. they weren't going to stop until they at least found the car. so we had a focal point because, before jonathan woke up, we didn't know where they were. we knew they had left 28th and wisconsin and were probably heading across town to my house. that was unconfirmed even until jonathan woke up and had a little better memory. and that was not until late yesterday afternoon. >> tell our viewers something about your son lantz. >> oh, my gosh, he's amazing. he's a straight "a" student, always has been. everything comes so naturally. he has amazing friends. he rides bmx. he's involved in the bridge ministries here in joplin. very active once again, respectful, polite, cares about his family so much. he definitely was an uprising. >> michelle, what can we do to help? whether cnn or our viewers, people who would like to help you find your 16-year-old son. >> the only thing i can say, since we don't know anything, just getting his name out there because somebody may have seen something else or they may have heard -- they may have seen him on the road, you know. at this point, just getting it out there, i think, helps. because the communication obviously around here has been so sketchy that half the times you can't even get through to any places, hospitals, get to the triages, get to things like that. i think, most of all, just getting it out there as much as we can, and i think that also gets people that we do know are involved to move a little faster, like the temporary morgue site instead of making us wait, maybe might say, you know, let's try to push this through or, once again the hospitals saying we thought you'd call us back, but now seeing this, we'll call you or anything like that. >> we know there are 1,500 people that are listed as missing right now although authorities say they're hoping that number will dwindle as folks can get back towards their homes and try to see what's going on, cell phone service obviously not very good. did he have a cell phone with him? >> right. yes, he did. after he was disconnected from me, i was never able to reach him again. however, he did get a phone call -- he was on the phone with another friend, we believe, when the tornado actually hit the car. the friend ryan says he could literally hear the swoosh came through and the phone went dead. i was not able to recontact him after the one phone call. of course, i called trb just repeatedly called and called and called. in between checking on my other son, who was at home at the house alone, fortunately no damage to my home. so my other son was fine and safe. but someone was on the phone with him, we believe, when the tornado struck the car. >> we're hoping for the best, michelle. lantz hare, we're hoping you find him and find him soon. can we stay in touch with you? >> absolutely. please do. you know, barring the worst, all the support, obviously, my family, friends can get will help and be in contact with individuals like you always makes it easier. >> all right. good. such a nice guy, such a nice young man. we'll stay in close touch, michelle. thank you. >> he's beautiful. >> we're praying for him. we're praying for you. >> thank you very much. >> good luck. >> thank you very much. we're all praying. >> here's an extraordinary image that shows the power of a tornado. in kansas a day before it hit joplin, this security camera records the moment when the twister struck. watch this. you can see the wind, the destruction, it's devastating. more tornadoes outside of oklahoma city. the tornado outside oklahoma city now. the tornado that hit joplin has now claimed 118 lives. hundreds and hundreds of people unaccounted for. we're told 1,500 people are listed as missing. survivors face an eerily barren landscape where homes once stood. many families face shattered lives with loved ones lost or badly injured. let's go back to cnn's brian todd in joplin for us. brian, you've been following one family's very painful story. >> reporter: we have, wolf. you're hearing these stories all over the place now. victims are telling incredible stories of how they survived this tornado. we met one young man who can't speak for himself. so we spoke to his father, who's holding constant vigil by his side. james has been here virtually every hour since sunday evening, holding a smaller hand, gathering encouragement from every squeeze back or flinch of the leg. >> just even the smallest respons responses give me hope. >> reporter: his son, a 14-year-old, lies in icu in an induced coma with an open skull fracture. you see him like this, what goes through your mind thinking of what he was before this? >> it really disheartens me a little bit that he's here, but in this state, because i'm used to seeing him happy and so vibrant. he's a very energetic boy. >> lage was siting in a pickup truck with his grandmother right in front of home depot. the tornado picked up the truck, and slammed it into the lawn mower section. lage was ejected from the truck, and either he hit something or something hit him. his grandmother was also injured. she had several shards of glass removed from her upper body. >> i just prayed someone would find us quick because i couldn't do much screaming or anything because my head was pushed into the seat. >> reporter: she had tried to hold on to lage but couldn't. by the time rescuers got to lage, he had an open head wound and almost didn't make it. >> he presented with a dilated pupil, which means he has a serious neurologic problem indicating the person is about ready to neurologically die. >> reporter: lage needed six hours of surgery, which removed part of his skull and brain tissue. now as he keeps watch ore his son, james grigsby has trouble reconciling this picture with a boy who plays soccer, rides horses, and is always on his dad for something. >> this isn't the young boy who walks up behind me and goad, dad, can i get on the computer? dad, can i play the xbox? dad, can i go and ride my bike? that's not him to see him like this. >> reporter: as he hangs on every movement from lage, james keeps perspective on what's happening outside the hospital window. >> i know there's probably going to be people out there who, you know, are going to be disheartened by this that, yes, i got to keep my son and they may not have with theirs, and to them my heart goes out because this is a tragic situation this town has gone through. i'm one of the lucky ones. >> reporter: his neurosurgeon says lage will probably have some paralysis on the right side of his body for quite some time. the doctor says he may get all of his cognitive and intelle intellectual functions back if he comes out of this, but, of course, the doctor doesn't want to raise expectations too high right now. wolf? >> it reminds me, looking at the devastation behind you, brian, when you were in japan only a few weeks ago. compare and contrast what you saw there and what you're seeing in joplin. >> reporter: you know, the comparisons are really eerie, wolf. you look out over this landscape, and it's really similar. everything flattened, nothing really left to pick through. yet people still coming back and trying to pick through something. it's an interesting intellectual -- >> hold on for a moment, brian. we've got live pictures coming in courtesy of one of our affiliates in oklahoma. look at this. this is a live picture of a tornado that's moving closer and closer and closer. wow, let's get chad myers on to explain. let's listen to our affiliate for a moment. >> blanchard, the ponlt of this coming your way. it's a stove pipe now, little bit bigger. what direction are you driving? >> we're driving west, looking to north/northwest. >> so you're on 62. this looks like it's been going through parts of chickashay, is that right? >> i can see larger debris in there. it's moved through structures. >> are you guys safe? >> we are safe. it's to our northwest. we're getting strong rfb now. the tornado is getting larger. >> mike, build me a projection on that, will you, please. >> yes, sir. >> i'm thinking it's probably just about right on i-44 right now. >> okay. i wouldn't be surprised at that. coming up i-44. if you know someone traveling i-44 south towards chickashay, get them off. call them. >> i'm at highway 74 at the 74-f spur. i've got damage in the roadway. looks like the southeast side of cashen may have taken a hit. i've got power lines down. i've got trees down where the tornado crossed highway 74 at the 74 spur. >> appreciate that report, allen. we're looking at a tornado live. can you see that? it's coming in from rob and tom down toward chickashay northeast about 40 on this tornado. looked like it passed through parts of chickasha. rob and tom think it's on interstate 44. if it is, it probably caused serious problems. if you're heading south on i-44, get off or turn around, whatever you have to do. if you folks know people south of chickasha going north, don't let them go past chickasha. this thing is getting larger and larger and larger and larger. it's a major circulation you see. rob and tom, storm chasers, get it live right there. it has gone through parts of chickasha, the way it looks to me. east chickasha. arrivals, amber, pretty big fan on this. looking at the tornado live, and this is near chickasha, oklahoma, 40 miles southwest of oklahoma city. amber 527. amber school 5:27. bridge creek school, 5:41. tuttle, 5:43. newcastle, 5:52. mustang high school, if it maintains itself, northeast 40, mustang or mustang middle school, 5:56. mustang middle school 5:56. mustang, downtown mustang, 5:57. mustang high school 5:57. and med owe park 5:58. we're looking at a large tornado. >> let me bring in chad. chad, you've been listening to it. you know oklahoma. where is chickasha? >> chickasha is down the turnpike from oklahoma city. you would go south of 40. i-40 goes across oklahoma east to west, down the interstate to chickasha right here. why this is concerning to the people in oklahoma city, to moore, to norman, is because that is the direction that all of the tornadoes have been going today. from the southwest to the northeast. this was a storm, we know it was on the ground in south chickasha, and it has now moved along the interstate, moving right up the interstate into moore and norman. if it continues on the path, it could be aa big tornado on the ground by the time it gets into those oklahoma city suburbs. he also talked about cashen. cashen getting significant damage. they have called for more help from cashen, especially south of cashen. here the four corners right there, edmund, the i wivillage then on up to cashen, just to the east of piedmont, that was the big tornado that david payne was on. if you haven't seen that video, wolf, maybe we need to rerack that and play that again. a storm chaser thought he was plenty far away from the tornado, and then all of a sudden the power lines and power poles broke right over the top of his vehicle. this is not safe today. this is not safe to be out there being an amateur storm chaser with a noaa weather radio in a car. that does not make you a chaser. today is the day to get inside, stay inside, get the pets inside, make sure the kids don't go out and get in the basement if you have one. most people in oklahoma do not. it's so rocky and dirt, that you can't really dig basements. get inside an interior space in your room. when you hear the sirens going off, it's time to be safe. we knew this was going to be another major tornado day, and clearly it is. >> this is the live pictures we're getting in near chickasha right now. >> wow, that is getting bigger. >> courtesy of our affiliate. let me play -- chad had a good idea. we'll play that video of what happened just a little while ago in oklahoma. look at this. i'll let the storm chaser describe what he's seen. >> mike? >> yes, go. >> tths a half mile wedge, another killer tornado. it went across highway 81 when it re-intensified and almost got us. it intensified right on top of us. it's amazing. half mile wide tornado. it crossed gregory road. it's going to cross northwest expressway in about a minute. it's crossing northwest expressway right now. right now, it's crossing northwest expressway. it's a massive tornado, about a half mile wide, no doubt about it. looks just like it did an hour and a half ago. deadly, deadly, deadly tornado, mike, coming down the northwest side of the metro. back to you. >> chad, if this current tornado moves towards oklahoma city, that's a major, major urban area, much bigger than joplin, missouri, for example. folks have to start preparing right now. could be within the next few hours. is that right? >> it is. and oklahoma city proper, all the way from guthrie to edmund and down to norman kind of stretches out in a north-south fashion. not so much east and west, but north and south along i-35. and so as the tornado comes up he here, it's certain to hit on the ground. it's certain to hit some, either moore, norman, oklahoma city, or maybe even down towards midwest city and then across. this could be right into downtown for that matter. as it moves to the north and northeast right along the turner turnpike, right along the turnpike itself here. and there's another storm heading into guthrie. that's the big storm that i'm very worried about. is that the storm? is that truly? that is live. this is the chickasha storm? yes. this is now not the tornado we looked at ten minutes ago. this is now what we call a wedge, or maxi tornado. there will be more than one tornado almost inside of that tornado. we call it a multi-vortex tornado or something where suction spots are spinning within that. so that could be 150-mile-per-hour tornado right there. from that look, that would be an ef-3, maybe approaching an ef-4, but probably only a 3 as it moves on up. it is getting stronger and still heading into the oklahoma city metro area. i don't want to say the city yet. but anywhere from norman on the south side to the city on the north side. this is a major storm heading up the turnpike. you need to be taking cover now. it will be in oklahoma city probably give it 30 minutes or so. you have that much time to get everything prepared and get yourself in a closet. get yourself covered. go ahead and get your motorcycle helmet, football helmet, basketball, whatever, anything that could protect you from the outside elements if your house is swept away. the trauma of all those houses. we saw it, wolf. we saw house that's are just gone. if you're inside those houses, you may be protected a little bit if you have more padding around you. think about yourself as being an egg. you have to put padding around you. as these storms move these houses and knock these houses down. what a brutal day in oklahoma again. as we were talking about, this is still miles away, but maybe four hours away, joplin, missouri, is up there, and we know how devastated that city already is with pieces of the town really strewn all over. 50, 60-mile-per-hour wind will take those pieces and throw them again, making even more danger. >> i could just report now the canadian county sheriff in oklahoma, randall edwards, says there are confirmed fatalities, destroyed homes and damage at the gas plant in ellarino, highway 66 and court road. are you familiar with this area? >> ellrino was the town as the tornado moved just a mile north of ellrino. keep going. oklahoma city, i-40, ellrino is right there. it moved from hinton across i-40 and made a run at piedmont. now it's continuing here. this is the word cashen. that's where the other damage is right there. and it is still on the ground moving up toward guthrie, another very populated area. although literally, obviously, the bulk of the population is here, but the population does spread out north and south from oklahoma city. >> i'm very worried about what's going on in oklahoma. stand by for a moment. anderson cooper is on the ground for us as well. anderson, you see the breaking news out of oklahoma city, oklahoma, they're bracing for more tornadoes right now. what's it like where you are? >> obviously, people here are bracing for a storm. we're waiting to see what weather we're going to get tonight. that's been the concern all day long as rescue operations going on. they were severely hampered by the driving rain and lightning storms. a number of times rescue crews had to be called off the search and basically keep safety. they're hoping that doesn't happen tonight. they're hoping to find some survivors underneath the wreckage. i was at the home depot today. they recovered one more person at the home depot. they recovered seven. one person was alive but seven fatalities. they found one fatality today. it is very difficult work. they're trying to get through this mass of concrete and steel. they've got canine dogs and heavy equipment. it is very slow going, and the weather is a real concern. >> anderson, brian todd, who was in japan when you were in japan in the after math of the earthquake and tsunami, it's eerily similar to some of the scenes in japan that he's seen in joplin, missouri. >> i think with the rescue personnel they weren't as well equipped as we've seen here. we've seen crews from all around the country. i was working with a task force from missouri today. they're totally self-sufficient. they've got generators and heavy earth-moving equipment. there's a lot of bulldozers already you see going through some of the heavier wreckage. in japan, you really didn't see that for many days, if not weeks. you saw large numbers of japanese military poking around with sticks. and there the debris was so thick in japan, it was often 15, 20 feet because of the tsunami. here you have people's possessions, which are strewn all about, but kind of the residue of buildings is generally in a kind of location, where the tsunami would carry things for miles, and you really had no idea where something might have gone. >> do they really believe a lot of those 1,500 people still listed as missing are going to be found okay? that's what authorities are saying, but i'm worried. >> there's a lot of understandable lack of organization at this point. communication is very difficult. cell phone service is spotty. so i think a lot of people haven't been able to connect with each other. we've seen it at the library, people trying to use computers to connect with loved ones. it's hard to find internet access here. we have to be careful with that 1,500 figure. yes, those people are unaccounted for. it's very hard. we're very early days, and it's hard to figure out exactly who was supposed to be here and where somebody might have ended up. it's certainly an ominous number and a number we have to watch very closely. there's still hope a significant number of those people may simply just not have connected with their loved ones yet. >> what's encouraging, as you point out, anderson, rescue workers are pouring into the area from all over the country right now. do you get a sense they have the equipment, the wherewithal they need to get the job done? >> we've been driving around all day and seen a number of rescue personnel in neighborhoods. they do seem organized. we've seen a number of dogs -- not cadaver dogs, i should point out, but dogs specially trained to find living human beings at this point. lots of the urban search and rescue teams, they have a three or four-day window they used to operate in that they're totally self-sufficient for. they're moving as fast as they can to make the most of this window that they have. >> and right now in oklahoma, as you've been hearing us report the breaking news. moving more and more closer. as big as oklahoma city is, the greater moat roer metropolitan joplin is about 400,000, but oklahoma city is much bigger. it's a real source of worry. we're showing our viewers this live picture of this monster tornado. you can see how wide it is as it moves closer. it's near chickasha right now in oklahoma city. that's a suburb of oklahoma city, not far from oklahoma city. we're watching this very, very closely. i don't know what's going on in the world, anderson, right now, but there seems to be disaster after disaster after disaster, and you've been on the scene for, i would say, all of them. >> it's hard to see that another place is suffering and there's been confirmed fatalities already. it's the worst possible news. again, it's not just the size or the speed of the wind here that we have to look at. it's the speed at which the twister is actually moving. that was one of the problems here, i think, in joplin, people were saying this was a slow-moving twister around the hospital. it kind of lingered around the hospital for about a minute or so. the longer this storm stays in an area, stays over a city, obviously, the worse it is. that's something obviously also we'll be tracking with oklahoma city. >> you'll be interested to know, our viewers will be interested to know yesterday we'll be reporting the tornado in joplin was an f-4. now authorities have officially said it's an f-5, with winds more than 200 miles an hour. anderson, we're going to be watching "ac 360" later tonight. thanks for your excellent reporting. lots going on right now. we're going to continue breaking coverage. tornadoes getting ominously close to oklahoma city. chad myers will explain what's going on. we'll check in with our affiliates on the ground. you saw these devastated pictures. much more of our breaking news coverage right after this.

coming into piedmont. david, are you there? >> yeah, mike, can you hear me? >> go. >> it's a half mile wide wedge. it's another killer tornado. it went across highway 81 is when it re-intensified. it almost got us. it intensified. it's amazing. it's a half mile wide. killer tornado. it just crossed gregory road. now going to cross northwest expressway in about a minute. it's crossing northwest expressway right now. it's a massive tornado. it's a half mile wide, no doubt about it. it looks just like it did an hour and a half ago. deadly, deadly, deadly tornado, mike, coming down the northwest side of the metro. back to you. >> let me just update our viewers on the breaking news. we've been reporting on it's now official that tornado in joplin, missouri, an f-5 wind speed above 200 miles an hour. that death toll has just been increased to 122 by authorities in joplin. chad myers is watching all of this unfold. let's get to the breaking news in oklahoma right now. is it one tornado? multiple tornadoes? what are we seeing in oklahoma? how endangered in some of the urban areas would these folks be right now? >> i would say we still have three tornadoes on the ground. the one up near guthrie is much smaller than it was before when it moved over el reno and caused some damage to devin industry out there. we certainly have a tornado on this cell that is very close to the south side of oklahoma city, and a tornado emergency, which means a tornado, large tornado, has been spotted, and it is moving into your town. that would be newcastle and moore. as this hook right there. there's the debris from the tornado that's on the ground. we've never talked about this in years past because we really, truly haven't had such good doppler radar. and we haven't had such big tornadoes. if a tornado is on the ground, wolf, it spins up, and it picks up things. picks up shingles and boards and everything else and parts of cars. that debris gets up into the cloud. well, the radar beam actually can see boards a lot better than it can see small rain drops. so when you see a big bright spot right there over newcastle, that's actually parts of the ground. that's trees and roots and that's singles in the air that the radar is picking up. it's called a debris ball because it looks like a ball. but the debris is what the radar is seeing. it's not even raining there. it's the debris from the tornado itself. we had one here, a debris ball that came across, and just to the west of about el reno and into peed mon, just north of piedmont, and just missed edmund, a couple hours ago. there were cells up and down. that's the north side of oklahoma. there's the red river, that's the south side. below that is texas. this entire line waves, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. eight super cells are all rotated, and eight super cells could have eight tornadoes on the ground at any one time. i know of three right now. there may be others that are just forming and others that are just lifting, but a dangerous night. if i take you over there, that's joplin, missouri. it's just a couple hours away. >> it's possible this severe weather is moving towards joplin right now? >> in a few hours. it would take three to four hours to get there. it would have to turn up the turnpike to tulsa and then even farther up i-44 to joplin, missouri. another ten miles to joplin as you get past the oklahoma state line. >> these people are used to tornadoes, but not necessarily these severe tornadoes. >> you could be used to an f-1, 100-mile-per-hour storm, and it's going to take your roof off, take the shingles and the barn. it will damage the car with some hail. everybody will walk out of the house, and the windows will be broken, and you're fine. that's a typical, garden variety tornado. we are not seeing these. we are seeing large violent storms with large tornadoes over 150 miles per hour, one after the other, like a big rake just raking across the country. we raked across alabama. there had been 49. and today i know we're going to add to that number because there are fatalities already. there were 49 as of yesterday killer tornadoes so far this year. an average year, wolf, only has 22 killer tornadoes. we've doubled that. the number of tornadoes that have killed people approaching 50, and today will be well over that. if you keep on going, the numbers are staggering. the numbers for april, almost 1,000 tornadoes for the years so far. the first three months, we had like 50. april had so many more and now obviously may, the most active month of the year. >> we've just been told, chad, there's a 9:00 p.m. curfew in joplin, local time. 9:00 p.m. curfew in joplin, missouri, because they're worried about the severe weather moving towards their city once again. stand by, chad. we'll get back to you. we're watching all of the breaking news unfolding. these new tornadoes moving through oklahoma, moving ominously close toward oklahoma city. >> it almost got us. it intensified right on top of us. it's a half mile wide killer tornado. it just passed gregory road. it's now going to cross northwest expressway in about a minute. it's crossing northwest expressway right now. curtis: welcome back to geico radio, it's savings, on the radio. gecko: and the next caller is doug from chico. doug: oh...hey thereey...! gecko:

over to joplin, missouri immediately this coming sunday. let's go to our white house correspondent brianna kheiler. the story here is devastating, and i'm sure the president and his top advisers, the first lady, they are devastated by what they're seeing and hearing as well. >> they certainly are and they're certainly keeping an eye on this while the president is getting briefing. he began his day this morning with remarks about the tornado dama damage, but this was a day of pomp and circumstance. >> reporter: in buckingham palace, the queen and king welcomed the obamas, and so did the duke and duchess of cambridge. it was a day full of pageantry. obama reviewed the troops with phillip and was honored with a 41-gun salute. he signed the guest book with the wrong date, it was later discovered, 2008 instead of 2011. at 10 downing street, a photo op with prime minister and his wife samantha. a visit to a local school where they congratulated youngsters on this invention, a lunch tray that turns into a bowl and plate. a teacher joked that they're looking for an investor. >> or donald trump in the united states. i have some connection with him. >> reporter: the president and prime minister also joined forces for a little table tennis. it turns out the prime minister needs some practice. back at the palace, the ultimate in british protocol, a state dinner in honor of the obamas hosted by the queen. >> today the united states remains our most important ally. >> a day of formalities ahead of tomorrow's substance. obama meets one on one with prime minister cameron before addressing both houses of parliament. libya will take center stage as the leaders meet. they will discuss the importance of supporting the rebels muammar gadhafi, keeping pressure on the libyan government with the nato mission, and lobbying european allies for more support. >> we'll talk about the international alignment, international effort that's necessary to support libya, not just through our military action, but the political and diplomatic support as well. >> reporter: in the president's speech tomorrow before parliament, he will ask -- in the president's speech tomorrow before parliament, he will say that the u.s./u.k. alliance is the cornerstone for global security but a big challenge for libya as they ask their allies for help, shrinking their defense spending as many countries try to lower their spending. >> ravaged joplin, missouri bracing for another round of what could be damaging storms after a deadly tornado tears through oklahoma. joplin has inspired people all across the country, but can it take any more? first we'll have a quick check of the day's other top stories. stand by. first the missouri, now near oklahoma city these are pictures coming

executed if he is convicted of ordering police to shoot and kill anti-government protestors. egypt's officers said he will be tried in a criminal court. he and his friends are also charged with wasting public money and using it to buy lavish resorts under fake names. the chopper that helped in the destroy of osama bin laden is now back on american soil. it's believed the helicopter was especially developed to elude radar. the navy s.e.a.l.s blew it up after it developed problems so its technology would not fall into militants' hands. it was a close call for iranian president
