You really have to have a sense of humor with this job. This is the cbs evening news. Mason and this is our western edition. Good evening. Im Anthony Mason. We begin with some vicious summer storms. An apparent tornado today tore through salisbury, maryland, on the delmarva peninsula. It was Strong Enough to flip cars and rip up trees by their roots. No injuries were reported. Early yesterday a twister hit tulsa, oklahoma, without warning. At least 30 people were hurt and more than 70 businesses had substantial damage. Omar villafranca is in tulsa. Reporter the ef2 tornado hit just after 1 00 a. M. It blasted through the center of town with 130mph winds. The twister ripped off rooftops, shredded storefronts and blew out windows. Eight people were trapped inside this t. G. I. F. , and Officials Say at least 30 people were injured by flying debris. Officer Demita Kinard is with the tulsa police department. There were people that had some pretty horrific injuries, but none were lifethreatening, which is great, and we had no losses of life. Reporter be many are wondering why the intense storm didnt trigger warning sirens. At 1 16, meteorologists were monitoring the thunderstorm, but two minutes later it became a tornado. At 1 23, the National Weather Service Started drafting the tornado warning. But it was issued at 1 25 a. M. , after the storm left tulsa. National Weather Service meteorologist steve piltz says they were caught off guard because the tornado was low to the ground, making it difficult for weather experts to predict what was happening on radar, and the storm intensified rapidly. Any time we have these types of tornadoes, we typically are a few minutes behind the first one. Then we begin to understand the situation better and we can be faster. Reporter crews are working as fast as they can to remove the damaged roof off of michael guttermans textile business. It will take weeks to clean up. Any of your employees hurt . No. It happened at 1 00 a. M. Best news is i dont mind. This is a building. Its inventory. I dont care as much as no one got hurt. Reporter the tornado moved in so fast that customers at this restaurant left their cell phones and purses on the table so they could run for cover. Its worth noting that august tornadoes are rare. The last one in tulsa county was in the 1950s. Anthony. Mason Omar Villafranca in tulsa. Thanks, omar. In san antonio, texas, heavy rain today transformed a roadin, stranding young man on top of his car. Rescuers couldnt get to him by boat, so firefighters backed up a ladder truck, but that was too short. So they used a stepladder to bridge the gap, and the driver climbed to safety. Parts of new orleans were underwater again this past weekend. It wasnt the levee system that failed as it did during Hurricane Katrina. This time it was the citys pumping stations. They couldnt handle all the rain. Demarco morgan is there. Reporter torrential rains turned much of new orleans into a swamp on saturday, in some areas canoes were the best way to get around. The dining room at liuzzas restaurant and bar in the mid city neighborhood was soaked in 18 inches of water, forcing Frank Bordelon to close his restaurant. Its a big financial hit. Estimate, i dont know, 60,000, 70,000. Reporter nearly 10 inches of rain fell in just over three hours. The city had 24 pumping stations working at full capacity, trying to prevent the flooding, but the citys drainage system, designed to pump just one inch of rainfall the first hour and half inch after was quickly overwhelmed. Joe becker is with the new orleans sewerage and water board. If i get nine inches of rain, thats going to take me about 17 hours to pump out. The biggest drainage system in the world cannot handle that much rain. Reporter still, City Council President Jason Williams believes the system is woefully inadequate. If we cant handle a bad storm, then what will we do when there is a hurricane . This is crazy. Reporter bordelon, whose restaurant suffered Severe Damage during Hurricane Katrina says enough is enough. I cant believe the city is that stupid to let this happen over and over and over again. Reporter the city has pumped ter since saturds stormslons of using these pumps right here in addition to several others. Anthony, the city council has called a special meeting scheduled for tomorrow to find out what went wrong. Mason Demarco Morgan at the pumping station in new orleans. Thanks, demarco. Tech giant googles efforts to improve its image as a company that promotes diversity have been dealt major setback in the form of a memo from male employee, a memo thats gone viral inside google. Heres John Blackstone. Reporter at google today, where only 20 of Technology Workers are women, the stinging 3,000word document suggested reasons why. Biological causes may explain why we dont see equal representation, the unnamed google engineering employee wrote. Men have a higher drive for status and women on average have more neuroroticism. This may contribute to the lower number of women in highstress jobs. This isnt sort of an isolated or fringe perspective in silicon valley. Reporter Joelle Emerson is an attorney who helps companies promote diversity. Lots of people from majority groups, white men in particular, might push back against organizations diversity and inclusion efforts. Google has made efforts to diversify, but progress has been limited. Its total workforce is 69 male, 56 white, 35 asian, only 2 black. As a black female engineer, erica baker was a rarity at google. In 2015 she left after nine years. I had experienced microaggressions and some major aggressions at google. For a long time i dealt with it and just kept them inside. Reporter still, shes surprised the document spread so widely inside google. I can guess that they have seen previously people talk abouthat interlland nothing happened. Reporter google responded with a statement saying the document advanced incorrect assumptions about gender. Its not a viewpoint this company endorse, promotes or encourages. The writers identity is known inside google, but the company did not respond to our request for more information about him or his status at google. Anthony . Mason John Blackstone outside googles offices inside san francisco. Thanks, john. For the first time in eight years, the two koreas and china sat down and talked at a Regional Security conference in manila. What came out of it were threats from the north. It said it will retaliate for sanctions the u. N. Security Council Approved in response to the latest missile test. Heres asia correspondent ben tracy. Reporter after a rare public appearance at north koreas foreign minister ri yongho at this weekends security conference, the north launched a blistering attack on the new u. N. Sanctions. In an angry statement, the north vowed the u. S. Will pay by 1,000 fold for heinous crimes against north korea and that it is ready the teach the u. S. A severe lesson. North koreas latest launch of an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile that could hit the u. S. Appears to have united the International Community against kim jonguns regime. U. S. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson still kept the door open for talks but said the north must first end its missile tests. Weve not had an extended period of time where they have not taken some type of provocative action by launching ballistic missiles. Reporter north korea has launched a dozen missiles this year and says it wont give up its nuclear program, but the new u. N. Sanctions could make funding ituch harder. E sations are expectedo cost north korea as much as 1 billion, mostly by banning exports of coal, iron, and seafood. Enforcing the sanctions will fall largely to china, north koreas main trading partner and economic lifeline. On monday chinas foreign minister said it will implement the sanctions, 100 . He also said north korea should stop launching missiles and conducting nuclear tests. China once described its relationship with north korea as close as lips and teeth. That is obviously changing, but china still says north korea is largely a u. S. Problem and the u. S. Should open talks to diffuse tensions. Anthony . Mason ben tracy in beijing. Thank you, ben. Today australias navy found the wreckage of a u. S. Marine osprey aircraft that crashed into the sea on saturday while attempting to land on a u. S. Navy transport ship. Three marines were lost in the accident. David martin looks at what went wrong. This is how the landing should have gone, an osprey setting down on the flight deck of the u. S. S. Green bay one year ago. But a similar landing on the same ship this weekend went horribly wrong. The osprey, which can fly like an airplane and hover like a helicopter, struck the ships stern as it descended and fell into the water. Ships, small boats, and helicopters pulled 23 marines from the water. But searched in vain for the other three, who couldnt get out before the osprey sank. Family members identified them as First Lieutenant Benjamin Cross and Corporal Nathan ordway, both members of the flight crew, and private first class ruben velasco, who had just turned 19. The wreckage has been located and the marines plan the bring it to the surface. The osprey can carry more troops farther and faster than any helicopter, but its Tiltrotor Technology has been criticized ever since this horrendous crash 17 years ago. Crash. Crash, crash, crash reporter 19 marines died. But the father of First Lieutenant cross says his son trusted the aircraft. He told me that they had so many redundant Safety Systems in the plane that if one failed there was always a backup. Reporter marine corps statistics show over the last five years the osprey has the third highest accident rate after the harrier jump jet, another vertical takeoff and landinplannd oer model of the f18 jet fighter. The marines are expected to order a safety stand down for all their aircraft so air crews can take a day off from flying and spend it reviewing their operating procedures. Anthony .
