school. jeff, such, terrible things you went through yesterday, and yet you my friend are one of the lucky ones, have you your family intact, a place to go tonight, we wish you the best, thank you for sharing the video and story. let us know if you need anything. we re down by the hospital. thank you. thank you. a lot of stories like that we ll hear this morning, people who found a way through it. people who were lucky and they are the lucky ones as horrible as it has been, many stories who come out won t have those types of endings, back after a short break from moore, oklahoma.
number will change, 20 already are kids. many died in the basement of that school. it became flooded. horrible to hear, but imagine for the families to learn that. the search and rescue there, still very active. going hand by hand. can t get earth moved. you can t get earth moving machines in here, too difficult. there are active power lines down, active gast lines open. all very difficult. that is the scene in oklahoma. the weather has moved on, you will see clear skies here, front moving toward texas. get to meteorologists that will tell us about the threat that remains for places. more tornadoes that could come down. from moore, oklahoma, right now, all about the aftermath and finding out who is still alive. community are very active right now doing it. saw it as we drove through. looking for people. asking the media to move so you don t hear the generator sounds so they can keep searching. pam brown with me, all morning, seen it first hand.
sense of that as the tornado passes over. certain places myriraculously spared and others torn away. south 13th street or 12th street, and the tornado crossed in, about from south fifth street to about south tenth street, 11th street, i was one or two blocks away from where houses were hit head on. you can see, i started driving, trying to get to my son s school. directly into there. and so now i was trying to get to him, and they kept all the kids in school, and it s the school is right off of fourth street. a major street in moore. tried to get to fourth street going north, and also power lines, large powerline poles were down, blocking as far as i could see. i had to go a half mile north and half mile east in back neighborhoods and just very lucky, happened to drive
the children are sacred. we need to protect these kids. i don t know. you can say it s more government interference but to not have a storm shelter in schools, we have to change. that s the question. we are not at a point this is not meant as a finger pointing in any way, it s just more of a curiosity of a confusion. why wouldn t schools have storm shelters when this is part of tornado alley, when this can happen, not to this degree thank god but bad things happen weatherwise here. why isn t it part of just the makeup of communities? i just think people think they can dodge the bullet. they hit and miss. we haven t had a major one like this since 99. we had a little one that came through moore in 2003. i think we get lacx after one
not at the scene when the first responders began to arrive. okay. what do you understand about what they found there? what you found is what i m sorry to say most people across the country have seen. it is complete devastation down in that area. it is rubble everywhere. what search and rescue teams are doing is going through methodically brick by brick, board by board to find anyone who may be alive in the rubble. these are very good rescue effort. sad to say, they have done it in oklahoma before. they will do everything in their power to attempt not only at the school, but throughout the community of moore to see if there are survivors. the oklahoma highway patrol reported earlier, 101 people have been found alive. 101 people found alive. since the search and rescue
