But right after the break, the track of the tornado that left this damaged dier we are back at la plata live. We will be here all evening. That is the the pa that is the a episcopal church. Lets go over the track of the la plata tornado. First touching down southwest of jackson in quicksburg, virginia and we put out a warning it was on the ground. Weaker but destroyed three homes and 19 barns. It raced eastward not on the ground but we had reports of funnel clouds and large hail and then it crosses patomic river, weak at first, strengthens. Now its an f4 as it rolls through the heart of la plata shortly after 7 00. By this time you have interrupted 60 minutes and we are on the air live tracking this. F4 downtown, that means winds 207 to 260, when it trekked through la plata, route 6 and 301, it was a half a mile wide, one direct fatality again shortly after 1 00 p. M. Then crosses over the patuxent river, still strong, two more fatalities, and finally begins to lift up west of salisbury but by that time on the ground for nearly 70 miles. Just simply unheard of for a tornado in the eastern seaboard and it ends up being the second strongest tornado on the eastern seaboard, number 1 is worcester,ss damage. On the side im standing, a ton of damage. The courthouse past the episcopal church, minor damages and windows blown out. Tony rose was in charge and heres his first take when he showed up at the scene. I came to la plata from home. It was sunday afternoon, sunday evening, i came to la plata and i am hearing information on the radio about building collapses and things like that but i dont have any idea that theres been a tornado. By the time i get to la plata, the windshield in my car is broken out because i got caught in the hail from the tornado, so half of my windshield is gone by the time i get here and then when i turn onto charles street and coming past the hospital, first thing i noticed aside from all the debris everywhere are people, people that are clearly injured wow. And its still not clicking yet. I see all this damage and im having pro and i havent processed it yet because we dont have those things, right . Just beyond us the road goes down and you can see the trees the trees in april have no leaves on them at all. Reporter defoliated. They are gone. Reporter yep. And then it starts clicking whats going on. And my first thought was going to go to the 911 center and make sure they were okay. As bad as the damage was, Mother Nature was grateful to us because the school, ans, which is at the bottom of the hill was destroyed and had it been 2 00 in the afternoon and that school had been full, it would have been a completely different story. Reporter yeah, it was a blessing at the time it hit late sunday evening when the businesses were closed, werent too many folks in town. Look at notice how small they are . You know why . They are all 15 years old. Even though the north side of route six, minimal damage on the side im on, the south side, major damage.

We will come back, we will talk to bonnie greer of baldis real estate and she was right at ground zero. Her story coming up. We will see you soon, topper.

Tonight employees are speaking out against a sick policy they say is hazardous. The new policy requires employees to give a 72 hour notice or face disciplinary action for repeated sick calls without notice. Metro employees, they are not happy about it and now they are teaming up with local doctors, one doctor tells wusa9 he believes a lot of metro employees will avoid getting the medical care they need and he says that could put the public at risk. If i had chest pains in the morning and afraid i was going to get docked for work, a heart attack as a result of the initial symptoms of chest pain, with that train going full speed, even if they had an emergency situation could jeopardize the whole train load of passengers. Metros sick policy allows employees to have up to three unexcused absences a year. After that, counseling is required. So if you were watching watching wusa9 a few hours ago you might have noticed our own jan jeffcoat on tv. Jan joined the ladies on the talk and here she is chatting with actor joseph fines. I understand you have two daughters, raising them in spain and raising them to speak both english and spanish and as a result i hear that you cannot speak very much because your spanish is not on par .

We cant wait to hear more about the talk wednesday when she comes home from california. Great job. Straight ahead, we are talking to the people who lived through the deadly la plata tornado. At that point in time it was so bad, i couldnt see through the window. And it wasnt an easy path for Jonathan Allen. Tonight we learn more about the local player who has become an overnight millionaire after being drafted by the a former hometown football sensation is now a member of the burgundy and gold. Jonathan allen, who was a defensive lineman for alabama and stonebridge high in ashford was drafted by washington. And as peggy fox tells us, nobody is happier than his former High School Coach. Select Jonathan Allen, defensive end. Reporter Jonathan Allen is coming home after four years kicking butt for alabama. He will trade that crimson for burgundy and gold and a practice field in his hometown where he first made his mark. I think its awesome he gets to play for his hometown team, well deserving. Reporter he helped the stonebridge bulldogs win the 2012, his senior year Jonathan Allen was voted most likely to go pro and last night it happened. His High School CoachMickey Thompson was in philly for the big moment. So you think maybe the redskins really got lucky here . They got a steal, absolute steal. As his work ethic is unmatched, he loves to gain. Barring injury, he will be one of the best redskins ever. Reporter thompsons wife kathy was also at the nfl draft. She is a teacher at stonebridge and says Jonathan Allen is so grounded, she knows the money and celebrity will not go to his head. He was here last spring and he came by my classroom to see me and hes just hes so humble, the kids in the class were trying to peek and they were like is that, is that and i said come on in and he wouldnt. He stayed in the hall and, you know, he could have come in and they would have made a big fuss over him but he is just really a humble, you know, gentle guy. Well, off the field. Reporter when allen first started playing here at stonebridge, he quickly earned the nickname the hulk for his explosive performance on the field. Off the field he was completely opposite. The perfect gentleman. Youre never going to have to worry about him off the field. Hes going to always be somebody youre going to be proud to represent you so the redskins, i think they realize that. I mean, you just watch the interviews and hes probably the most impressive and un and im biased. One of the most impressive people youre going to meet anywhere. He is a wonderful person so when good things happen to good people, you cant help but be excited. Reporter in ashburn, peggy fox, wusa9. Stone bridge coach Thompson Says part of his joy about allen coming back is selfish. He is expecting his former player to come home and visit often and be a mentor to his student athletes. More now on the 15year anniversary of the deadly tornado in la plata. Now, the pictures of the damage from that night, they are absolute staggering. This storm leveled buildings that had stood for hundreds topper shutt is live in Charles County. We were live and following that tornado as it tracked through la plata. Reporter yeah, in fact, it tracked right here along route 6, you know, and it tracked essentially west to east, about 58 miles per hour, on the south side of route 6, more damage, brunt of the damage on the north side of route 6, not that much damage. Over my shoulder, that was the old bank and baldis real estate building. Listen to what happened to bonnie because she was writing a contract that night and witnessed a storm. A car pulled up, this car pulled up to the window and i could see them and im thinking, uhoh, and then about that time i see debris flying horizontally through the windows. And i was like, uhoh, i better go out and tell the people come inside and get shelter and i got from this window to this window and at that point in time it was so bad i couldnt see through the window. It was just it was almost stuff blowing everywhere. So at that point did you get those folks in . No. I just got to hear and i realized it was so bad there was no way i was going to have to go all the way up here and down to them to get them in. So at that point i knew what was happening. I was in Elementary School during cuban missile crisis and they used to march us out into a cinder block hallway and say you have to stay away from the window, shut all the doors wherever theres glass and then you go out and hide in the hall and you cover your head. Duck and cover, right. Thats what i did. The night it occurs, you know, i was at home, one of my staff people called me on the phone and said, dr. D, he said, your office is gone. I said gone . What do you mean gone . Piece of alumni siding that went through the drywall. This was the bathroom on the interior of the building and how that siding went through that. My father had painted had pain these are all of my dads paintings and we had a lot of paintings in the office prior and most of them got destroyed. He came back and redid whatever paintings he could. He was 94 years old. Wow. And he did the murals too. He did that too . He did that mural and theres another mural around the corner he did. Thats amazing. He did murals when he was 94, came up and did that for me. Reporter that was amazing to me. His dad, 94 years old comes back and redoes, repaints the murals. Lessons to learn there. The Doctors Office took two years to rebuild. And bonnie did the right thing, she got away from the windows and went to an area interior of the building. Probably 15eu6d her lives saved her lives. The folks that pulled up in the parking lot were fine and found shelter outside of the building. We are talking to the former mayor bill he canman and how eckman and how he dealt with thcr certainly good lessons for people to see the reports and realize youve got to take the storm warnings seriously. Missing children is the focus of a special assignment unit report tonight and youve got a pretty cool story that actually takes a look at local children who have been missing for years and an Interesting Team that helps to work to bring her home. Its really a firsthand look at this fascinating science. You know, we usually see the age progressions but dont get to see how they are created, april williams, sheila and katherine and other locally missing children for years have been on the radar of these artists and these age progressions are an important tool for forensic artists that work the National Center for missing and employed children exploited children.

What could be more important. Absolutely. Thank you. Have you heard of the fry festival . Neither had we. Until the internet declared the luxury Music Festival in the caribbean a complete disaster. Thats the low lights of this one on the way. And after the break, we meet these dancing kids in school. They were blowing up social media with their red hot moves. They are so good we had to bring them back tonight. For years, fios has been promising fast internet to small businesses. But for many businesses, its out of reach. Why promise something you cant deliver . Comcast business is different. We deliver superfast internet with speeds of 250 megabits per second across our entire network, to more companies, in more locations, than fios. We do business where you do business. So last night we told you about these incredible salsa dancing kindergartners at the kit Promise Academy in southeast d. C. Their videos have gone viral on facebook and today our own dancing fool, bruce johnson, got to cha bruce leshan got to cha, cha, cha alongside them. This is so cool. We are with amazing dancing kindergartners. Check them out. They are rocking and rolling. They are such amazing dancers. And they have actually got millions, millions of views on facebook. How do you teach them this . They love it. They love it. Reporter they just love it. They love it so they get into it. Reporter and everybodys got natural rhythm, they can tap. Absolutely, yes, yes. And this just helps them learn . It helps them learn. Yeah. Reporter skyler is just one amazing one right here. Skyler, how do you like dancing, sweety . You love to dance . Yes. Reporter do you love it . Youre an so this school is the kip Promise Academy in southeast d. C. And here they believe that learning should be joyful and theres nothing more joyful than dancing. Teach me to dance. Six, five, six, here we go. Cha, cha, cha. Two, three. Bruce there going back to school today. I think its going to take him a little longer to down with it, though. No, no, no. He is moving with the kids. Now, we have to give credit where credit is due. Youre right. Youre right. He is not living in a rhythmless nation, he is keeping up. He is keeping up. So edwin sorto dances salsa on a team that performs all around the country but says the 5yearolds blow him away and not sure about bruce. He hung in there. Im telling you, he was doing the story and dancing at the same time. Everything, you got it. Absolutely. It was billed as a luxury event with people shelling out as much as 12,000. This is a promotional video for the fire festival held on an exclusive island in the bahamas this weekend. Today the festival was officially cancelled but not before hundreds of people arrived to substandard conditions. People reported unassigned tents for housing and instead of promised gourmet meals, slice of cheese on bread, flights for many of the guests never arrived in e thbahamas, others trying to leave are stranded at the airport. What . And youre still in the bahamas so its no. After the break we are back in la plata where the former mayor talks about the deadly 2002 tornado. Plus what you can do right now to prepare for Severe Weather. And cbs news political director John Dickerson at the white house tomorrow to talk with President Trump about his first 100 days in office. We will find out what is woman i have a masurprise for you. Are you . Man you have a surprise for me . Narrator at dominion, 1 in 5 new hires is a veteran. And when theyre away, they miss out on a lot. But they wont miss out on financial support. Because we cover any difference between their military pay and their dominion salary, and continue benefits for them why do we do it . Because our vets sacrifice enough. Dominion. Depend on us for tmorehan energy. Stand by me. Tomorrow marks 100 days in office for President Trump. The president and his critics have decidingly different takes on the successes of the first three John Dickerson joins us now and youre going to be at the white house to talk to the president. Anything youre particularly nervous to ask him about . Some of his interviews can be contentious. I have interviewed him a lot, 19 times during the campaign. They can be contentious but in a sense he likes the give and take. Hes an adult about being asked tough questions. He can handle them. He obviously handles them in part by coming right back at you. But, no, i dont think the thing im more nervous about is there are a lot of important questions out there that need to be answered, a lot of things people are interested in in terms of the way the president thinks about his job. The way he assesses what hes done so far, how hes going to build on that going forward, whats going to happen in north korea. People are hungry for information and so the thing im most nervous about is being able to get those answers as best we can in the time we have got. Your focus, does it rest with the 100 days or does it rest with whats ahead or kind of a mix . I think its and say what does the president learn, what does he take from this . All president s have to change because they come into the job without any experience of what its like to be in the job and President Trump arguably comes in with even with less experience than any other president before him. So how do they adapt, what causes them to adapt, what do they do to change and how will they take that moving forward because they will be forced to adapt again and again and again in the presidency. Well, the timing is perfect for this and we are certainly looking forward to it, John Dickersons interview with President Trump right here on wusa9, 10 30 sunday morning. Thanks, john. Sure thing. Tonight we are remembering the lives lost and the Lessons Learned after the la plata tornado. Heres more home video that was taken from the day of the storm. This is the most powerful tornado recorded in the state of maryland and the guy shooting the video, he just cannot believe the scope of this monster. First responders told people on pulled people on stretchers through the rubble. Our chief meteorologist topper shutt is in la plata to bring us more stories. Top. Reporter yeah, again, leslie, its the 15th anniversary but its really a celebration now, la plata has turned the corner, more vibrant than ever, businesses moved back and families coming to live here. Its a vibrant town. Over my Left Shoulder is a star. That used to be the water tower, more on why thats not there anymore, check out howard bernsteins talk with the former mayor. Here we have got an almost 80yearold water system, it was crippled by the loss of that watertown. Well, it wasnt really because we had three other water towers. As a matter of fact, we were getting ready to tear down, to tell you the truth. So Mother Nature by taking that water tower down did you a favor . Really did. It saved a lot for us. So tornado hits, youve got to take care of the immediate danger there and the triage, the people, the injuries, the cleaning up, the rebuilding. How do you even approach Something Like that. L, lot and about recovering from Natural Disaster and the key to it is being ready for it. The key to it thats most important is that you know the people involved, the relationships that you have. Lets talk about safety. You heard what bonnie did earlier and baldis real estate. Not all buildings are constructed of brick and block and you have to have a plan. For more on that, heres meteorologist melissa nord. Reporter oftentimes the late spring and early summer months end up being some of our most active for Severe Weather here across the d. C. Metro area. Now is the perfect time for you to sit down with your family and review your Severe Weather safety plan. When do you take shelter and what precautions do you need to take. The difference between a watch and a warning is really important to know. A watch means conditions are favorable for development but doesnt mean its happening right this second. When a Tornado Warning is go into your tornado safe place. Let me help you figure out where the safety place is to shelter from a tornado in your house. So walking down the stairs in this house to our tornado safe place and when youre trying to find a tornado safe place in your house, i want you to remember the acronym duck. D stands for down, go to the lowest place in your house, or basement. No walls to the outside, no windows either so this is our safe place in this house. If you dont have a basement, find a low level bathroom or an interior hallway closet. Those will all work just fine. U stands for under. You get under something sturdy, it could be a desk, mattress. C, most important of all, is cover your head. Cover your head and your neck and your spine just like the kids do in school when they practice their tornado drills and really good way you can do that is with a heet football helmet, hockey helmet or just a helmet you use to ride a bike. K stands for keep in place, stay put under the Tornado Warning has expired. If you need to know communication of when that Tornado Warning is lasting till, you can always get our wusa9 app at the tip of your fingers, our live stream will be running on there during anytype of tornado coverage and you will get weather alerts to tell you when theres Severe Weather heading to your house. Reporter thats monitor to have thats important to have a plan. You dont want to be trying to make a plan when Severe Weather is bearing down on you.
