24 hours. reynolds wolf, an alabama native, joining us from tuscaloosa this morning. what are you seeing now, reynolds? we re seeing the view from the old armory. and from your viewpoint tuning in from across america, what you re seeing your viewpoint is from the roadway. in the foreground you can see a lot of debris and you can see fence posts where from across the road, you had debris traveling at 100 miles an hour. you can see right here to my immediate left a humvee, a vehicle designed to take a great deal on the battlefield ripped to shreds. a few more of them all just in horrible shape. some even farther back have been ripped to pieces. we talk about these tornadoes, the real damage, the real danger is not due to the wind itself but rather the stuff it picks up, the debris.
these things are ravaged by the strong storms. foreground here you are seeing pellet holes, fence posts pushed and even closer up to the side of the large vehicles, you see little bit of the chain-link fence. what happened is you had the debris that was pushed across the roadway in excess of 200 miles per hour. hit the chain-link fence and pushed everything against the five ton vehicles. farther up here, you will see a different type of vehicle. one very familiar to many of you. this humvee. again, this is a battle tested vehicle. you see it just ripped apart and some ace cases over here into shreds by debris lashed against it. not unusual. scene we have been seeing playing that up and down in parts of central alabama, back into georgia, tennessee, mississippi, of course, just a short while ago we saw some of this in st. louis, missouri. unbelievable storm season. people trying to come to terms with this and how it all came together. to be honest with you, pretty simple process. we hav
the radiation levels are very high, not life threatening, but they may be life threatening with the reactors, but around the fence posts, around the perimeter, they re very, very high. harris: what about the future of all of this? are they ever going to be able to use that plant again if you pump in sea water and try to cool down the reactors, they burn it out. will they be able to stabilize it and people go back to the homes in the area? as far as the reactor is concerned, especially the three reactor, probably the four are gone and never used again. and as far as going back home, that really is determined by how much of a release you have. if you ve got a bad release, that will be the cause on the ground and hard to eliminate and hard to clean up and they will continue to submit radiation for a very long time and that s a real concern. harris: doctor, thank you very much for joining us
