off is beginning to come to an end. i want to talk about what s happening in the eastern united states. we ve had one fatality associated with rip currents on the coast of florida sunday afternoon. something to note, today being the 21st of april, if no one passes away from tornadoes, this will tie a record for the latest without a tornado death. this again does not happen very often in a country where we have over 1,000 tornadoes a year, 100 fatalities. again, at this point, still sitting at zero deaths through the 20th of april. it s worth noting with all the cold weather across the eastern u.s., the southern u.s., that s really inhibited storms to form. we ve still had snow in much
culture, on the 20th of april, sa time.andsxhe at that s what they didat 4:20, th largest cloud of marijuana smoke cotively produced. 40 minutes later, 5:00, shots rang out. i hope they get the guy. i really do. i who knows what will happen? i have a hard time believing he is one of the people, enjoying. you know i get the feeling he is like an anti-pot guy. as opposed to some guy who got rowdy. who knows. we ll see. hopefully get the guy. mellowed out. eat doritos. that s the cliche. a lot of truth to it. by the way marijuana third most popular drug behind alcohol and tobacco. nearly, 100 million americans have used it. 25 million have used it in the last year. 14 million do so regularly. it is out there. i don t know it is counter culture anymore. good point. when we come back, reece witherspoon s bad day. what she said to officers as her husband was being arrested. and what she is saying now. you are watching world news now.
and destroyed. some houses were turned into rubble in just a matter of seconds. that piece of iron had to come from a building. it was you know, it was no straight wind, it was a regular twister. the wind was just blasting out and out and out. the bathroom, like they always say, and while we got here, the roof went here. the good lord was with us. he sure was. it s about more than you can bear. four states were hit by the tornadoes. oklahoma, iowa, nebraska and kansas. but all of the fatalities were in one community. the community of woodward, oklahoma. cnn meteorologist rob marciano is in woodward. rob, describe the devastation there. reporter: well, you know, we weren t allowed into this community until just a little bit ago. now the activity is really happening. look behind me. this is a home that was completely crushed by the storm. family, friends and neighbors coming together to sift through the debris, try to pile it up. so the folks who live here can save what
which is really wonderful on broadway on the 20th of april. and we just opened another piece i call white noise in chicago, another musical again. that s about white supremacists? yes. well, to me it s less about white supremacists than the choices we make when we chip away at integrity. the things that you say i would never do that, and then you make a little change. and then suddenly you made a little bit of inroads into doing something you didn t you this i wanted to do, but it s okay because you justified it. then another little tweak happens. so it s about when fame and fortune are being dangled. do you give up your core beliefs? whether the people agree with them or not? do you give them up? and we have two sets of singing, two singing groups that have to deal with this dilemma. and so it s very interesting. and edgy. and we use all the words that have been buried and burned and, you know.
guy you loved got away. that s different. but i didn t say whether i pushed him away. did you? i m not telling you. why not? you should have asked me. you just raised it. too late. you can t take a camel to the oasis and say you can t have a drink. can we just talk about that, the camel to the oasis? you ve led me to that story. i clearly had enough water to get there. you clearly wouldn t have raised the spector if you hadn t. or maybe, piers, i m just that good. maybe you ll never know. you ll never know. what s on the horizon for you? oh, you know, i ve got musicals opening. i have sister act which is opening. on broadway. which is really wonderful on broadway on the 20th of april. and we just opened another piece i call white noise in chicago, another musical again.
