be a little bit more rural, once you get outside oklahoma city. once you cut down on the density, number of homes and people that is usually going to cut down on the injuries and fatalities a nice sunny, breezy day today here as we get into the stable air, the severe weather today and risk of tornadoes continues here east of here across parts of the tennessee and ohio valleys, tornadoes causing damage in parts of illinois. andrea, back to you. mike seidel, piedmont, oklahoma. an amazing picture. and that picture of devastation to only dwarfed by the almost surreal scene unfolding in joplin, missouri. the town was virtually wiped off the map, as you know, on sunday by an ef-5 tore needed coker the rating that storms just simply aren t rated any higher than that nbc s jay gray join us live from joplin. jake the scenes there are just amazing, devastatinging.
these decisions is to look at what they re telling you, not just what the final rating is. is it sexual, is it violent, and then getting a lot of parents out there saying i don t think this is a good idea for any of our 10-year-olds. what should parents take away from this as they re hearing about changes coming? those parents out there that have been buying video games for years, paying attention to what the ratings are. should they be more alarmed knowing that the changes could come into effect? i think they need to be more involved. they need to see the games, they need to talk to their kids about the games before they buy them, recognize that most of the games our kids are playing, the online ones, aren t rachted at all. so aren t rated at all. go to sites that you trust and talk to other parents. that s the way we keep our kids safer. the goal is to keep content away from our kids, we ve seen this with movies and they re rated r and rated x and how kids get away with this.
