working inside when the tornado hit. this is in kentucky. but with storms still in the area, and debris everywhere, we will not know the extent of the damage and the casualties for some time. now, kentucky's governor says tornadoes tore through a 200 mile stretch of his state. thousands are without power. many homes are destroyed. and now with the state of emergency declared, the national guard is deployed to the hard-hit areas. >> this has been one of the toughest nights in kentucky history, and some areas have been hit in ways that are hard to put into words. and as we're sitting here today, this is before daybreak, we believe our death toll from this event will exceed 50 kentuckians, probably end up closer to 70 to 100 lost lives. remember, each of these are children of god, irreplaceable to their families and to their communities. >> meantime, at least one person was killed in nearby northeastern arkansas after a tornado ripped through a nursing home. residents and staff were trapped in the rubble until help arrived. at least 20 people injured at that facility. a second person died in a nearby dollar general store. we also want you to look at this video out of illinois, a possible tornado cut through an amazon warehouse and trapped workers inside. we just learned that local law enforcement has confirmed some fatalities from the collapse. the exact number still unclear at this point. also unclear how many people were even there at the time. authorities say the size of the building and the damage are complicating efforts to make sure that everyone who was in got out safely. >> i talked to him about 8:00 p.m. tonight, a little before. i texted him and he was returning to the warehouse to drop his van off. and i haven't heard from him since. i just heard through the news and -- we live in edwardsville, we lost power. so i decided to come down here to see what was going on. i had no idea the building looked that bad. i'm worried sick. i want to know if he's okay. >> god, just heart breaking. cnn meteorologist allison chinchar joining us now. allison, tell us more about what we need to know and particularly in kentucky. i mean a 200 mile track? >> yeah. the potential is there. we're really not going to know much until the daylight comes back out until you can take a better look at the scope of where these storms went through. again, all the video coming in as devastating as it is, it's really hard to see that scope because it's dark outside. this video coming in from arkansas then you can see the rip just ripped off some of these buildings. you have some buildings completely levelled in some of these states. this here is what this area looked like in mayfield, kentucky, before the storms. okay? now you can see part of that tower is gone. again, lots of very large trees down around the building. and some of the surrounding buildings as well. so you are talking significant damage in some of these communities. the thing to note with this particular storm is we may have had a tornado on the ground for at least 200 straight miles. now the national weather service will have to wait until daybreak, go out and survey the damage to determine whether or not it actually stayed on the ground for that entire time or if it kind of came up and went back down off and on. but here you can see the tornado warnings. that's the purple box looking things that you can see riding along this white line, showing you that system over the last several hours as it goes through. keep in mind, perspective here, folks. most tornadoes last less than ten minutes and travelless than ten miles. this was on the ground for hours likely, again for more than 200 miles potentially. this was a very long-lived, very destructive tornado. not that the others we had weren't destructive, that one particularly long-lived. over 29 total tornado reports from this event. keep in mind, some of those may be from the same storm. this is all of what the weather service will go out and take look and get more detailed information later on today. over 100 damaging wind reports and 20 large hail reports. here is the thing, though, it's not over. we do still have on going severe storms. here is a look at where tornado watches still exist. it's over multiple states. mississippi, alabama, tennessee and kentucky. still dealing with active tornado watches at the moment. and even active tornado warnings and severe thunderstorm warnings. here is the main line. again, it stretches from new york all the way back towards texas. but the main focus really is in the center point of this system. again, kentucky, tennessee, alabama and mississippi. this is where the strongest storms are located right now. these pink and purple boxes here, that's where we have active tornado warnings. we will continue to watch this, amara and boris, we'll let you know what is in store for the rest of the day coming up in a little bit. >> unsettling to think after all the damage we just walked through and explained, that there are still warnings out there, that the danger is not over. allison chinchar, thank you so much. let's get straight to lieutenant dean patterson, public affairs officer with kentucky state police. lieutenant, thank you so much for joining us this morning you've been able to survey some of the damage. what have you seen? how are you and your troopers doing? >> thank you. we're seeing things that none of us have ever seen before. i went to hurricane katrina several years ago and i've seen things now i didn't see then. the damage here is undescribable. it's changed the landscape of the city that we know here in mayfield. we haven't even seen the beginning of it really because the sun hasn't come up. >> we're looking at footage right now, sir, of what appears to be a semitruck, it's in pieces. there have been buildings that have been destroyed. what do you know about the state of things in mayfield? are people able to access help if they need it? is there a coordinated effort to try to rescue folks that may be trapped? >> yeah. but this storm hit just after 9:30 last night. and you know, as soon as it came through, people jumped into action. the command posts were set up throughout the county. and there was a vast, coordinated effort to, get, really get to places where people needed us. and then to get them to the help they needed. so we've got plenty of things set up. people are getting the help they need and the medical care they need. we have shelters set up. i think we have really gotten off on the right foot. and we just have a long way to go. >> walk us through any warning that you got. what was it like when you first learned that this event was happening. and what did you do. and what are the protocols in place for folks in that area. >> we've been getting warnings all week that today or last night would be a big event. we always listen to those. we always hope that they're not what they could be. and you know, i was eating supper with my family last night. we were watching the storms roll through arkansas. and we watched them for several hours. and then they finally, you know, got to us. so i hunkered down like anyone else. and it was about 9:37 was actually the time it was supposed to come through. once it came through, you know, i just jumped in my car and went to work. and that's what a lot of us have done. >> very much appreciate the stoicism and the work that you do, but i'm curious how it affects you. we're watching folks comb through what appears to be more than a dozen feet of rubble in height. what goes through your mind when you're in that devastation? >> well, it's hard to know because most of us have never had to experience this type of devastation before. you know, you get into a zone and you just go to work. and you know, our main priority is life safety and to get people the help they need as quickly as they can. and you know, if you let what's around you get to you, you're not going to be effective. so i give all the people that work with us props because they just go to work. and we can't ask for more than that. >> lieutenant, quickly, what is the message to folks in your area who may not know what to do right now? >> well, they need to pray. they definitely do a lot of prayer because there's a lot of people hurting. people that don't even know they're going to be hurting yet because we haven't even yet found out how bad this has gotten. we're still an hour or more out from the sun coming up. and that's when this is really going to start to unfold for us. we have weeks and for months ahead of us. and it's just tragic. so prayer and patience. >> given some of the footage we've been seeing this morning, it looks like it will be a long road ahead to get become to normal in that part of kentucky. we appreciate the time, sir, and of course we appreciate your work, lieutenant dean patterson. good luck. >> thank you. a lot of prayers and a lot of holding your breath as daybreak happens. let's talk more now about this with a spokeswoman for arkansas emergency management. good morning to you. first off, what can you tell us about the extent of damage and where you're hearing about it. >> like lieutenant patterson said, the extent of damage will not be known fully until the sun comes up. we're still a couple of hours from sun up here in arkansas as well. but, emergency operations gave us a call around 7:45 on friday. they reported tornado that touched down in the communities of bait and monet. in monet that tornado actually struck a nursie ing home. we have since learned that one person has passed away from injuries sustained during that tornado and several other folks injured there. people were trapped inside, first responders got there and were able to get a lot of people out of that nursing home there. and truman, arkansas, also a nursing home impacted. no one hurt that we know of at this point. we believe that everyone was able to be evacuated from that area. the interstate highway there in truman, traffic had to be shut down on that highway because of several overturned vehicles. so, some injuries there as well. we have several fire departments, sheriff's departments, ems agencies that are working these. we had across the state some severe weather activity just about in every area of arkansas. so, they've been stretched pretty thin, but they've gotten out there and they're doing the best that they can to try to see if there's any people that need help so that they can start recovering from this. it's been a rough night here in the state of arkansas. >> yeah, absolutely. you can see that it was very much rough night as we look at some video from monette, arkansas. a lot of people on the ground, emergency workers on the ground and just tons of debris. it's not clear, unless you can tell me in my ear, that this is video from that nursing home where that one person was killed as latresha is telling us about. but more about the nursing home in monette, do we know that everyone has been accounted for? have all the residents been moved out and take on the a shelter? >> at this point we can't say that everyone has been accounted for. i don't have that information. but the people that they were able to get out of that nursing home have been either taken to a hospital to be checked for their injuries or treated for their injuries or moved to another place. again, it's still dark outside right now. we won't know the extent of the damages until the sunrises here in arkansas. and that's when some of the real work begins. as lieutenant patterson said that right now we need to have people who are praying for folks who are impacted by this and praying for our first responders as well because they have a long road ahead to try to see if there are any more people there and see what we can do to recover from this storm. >> yeah. and just to reference that video we just saw a few moments ago from that nursing home, it is confirmed that is the nursing home where one person died, at least one person in monette. you can see the roofs were torn off from that nursing home. but still, a lot not known just yet, of course, when the sun comes up, we will get more information. latresha woodrough, the best to you. keep us posted. thanks for your time. >> thank you. we're going to keep monitoring all the latest from these storms and bring you the latest news from the central part of the country. but first we want to pivot to the latest from the nation's capitol. the house select committee investigating the january 6th insurrection issuing six new subpoenas last night. and this time they're making a direct connection between organizers of the stop the steal rally and former president donald trump. >> let's go to cnn congressional reporter annie grayer for more on this. good morning to you, annie. so tell us more about who exactly is being targeted in this round of subpoenas. >> reporter: yeah. so the committee on friday, yesterday, issued six new subpoenas. while none of these names are necessarily household names, what's important to know is the committee for the first time reveals documents that shows that they have individuals that they're subpoenaing, which specifically in this case are rally organizers of those rallies leading up to the january 6th riot. and former president donald trump. now, the names of these six individuals are robert bobby petey jr. max miller, running for congress in ohio. brian jack. brian lewis. ed martin and kimberly fletcher. now, the committee says that they have documents on file that show that petty jr. and max miller were in a meeting with former president donald trump on january 4th in a private dining room off of the oval office at the white house with katrina pearson, who is another individual that the subpoena has subpoenaed. the three of them plus the former president were discussing who trump wanted to see speaking at the rally on january 6th. now, we don't know more about the contents of that conversation but the fact that the committee has that information on file with that direct connection is pretty significant. these six join a larger group that the committee has subpoenaed with the date of december 23rd to turn over documents to the committee and appear for depositions throughout the beginning of january. >> annie grayer, we will of course watch this closely with you. thank you so much. and still ahead the jury sees new body cam footage from the killing of daunte wright. what it could mean for the former police officer who pulled the trigger. plus, covid cases and hospitalizations on the rise as the delta variant continues sweeping across the country. now some states are deploying the national guard to help medical teams. the latest and all your covid headlines after a quick break. stay with us. ♪ i'm a reporter for the new york times. if you just hold it like this. yeah. ♪ i love finding out things that other people don't want me to know. mm-hmm.

>> yes. >> reporter: after the shot was fired in a car crash down the road, johnson tried to reassure officer kim potter who had pulled the trigger -- >> kim that guy was trying to take off with me in the car. >> reporter: next, video shows potter distraught. >> no, no. that's not happening. i'm giving you my gun. okay. i'm going to hold on to yours. >> the weapon swap johnson says was to preserve evidence. >> kim, can i see my gun real quick. he later removed the rounds from the gun fearing potter may harm herself. >> daunte wright at any time show any sign of stopping, giving up, saying okay i'm done? >> no. >> reporter: but it was the potential harm wright could have done that the defense narrowed in on. >> and if he had taken off with you in that car, halfway, what would have happened to you? >> probably dragged. >> reporter: arguing potter was protecting johnson. >> dragged and what? >> injured. >> seriously injured or maybe even dead, right? >> reporter: the state pushed back trying to show potter's actions were reckless. the lynch pin of a manslaughter conviction. >> could officer potter in using a firearm have shot you? >> possible. >> reporter: the defense quick to step in again. >> objection is sustained. >> when you use deadly force, you have to consider surroundings. >> yes. >> and when you -- >> reporter: and again. so far the prosecution has called 14 witnesses. >> all i heard. >> reporter: including painful testimony from wright's mother. >> it was the worst day of my life. >> reporter: and the woman wright was dating who was in the passenger's seat when wright was shot. >> just tried to scream his name. >> reporter: she tearfully recalled his final moments. >> i just remember trying to just get him up. trying to push on his chest and call his name. and he wasn't answering me. he was just gasping, just take breaths of air. >> reporter: on friday, johnson was one of three people who testified at the time of his shooting he was potter's supervisor, but he's no longer with the brooklyn center police department. on friday, he told members of the jury he believed potter was justified in using deadly force, citing the state's law. boris, amara? >> thank you for that. here to discuss more now is criminal defense attorney and cnn legal analyst joey jackson. good morning to you, as always. good to see you. so first off, joey, we heard there from potter's former supervisor on the stand michael johnson, testifying that the officer had a right to use deadly force to prevent bodily harm. look, i could have been dragged or injured or killed if she had not taken action. what did you think of his testimony? was it effective? >> yeah. amara good morning to you. i think what the defense is trying to do in their cross-examination is to refrain the issue. i think the prosecution will get the jury back on track. what the defense is trying to do is say could you rel have killed him any way at the end of the day because of the fact the other officer, supervisor would have been dragged, in danger? that's not the issue. the issue is whether kim potter, the officer who fired the shot, thought in her mind it was objectively reasonable to use deadly force at that time. apparently she did not do so otherwise she would have. how do we think deadly force was appropriate or otherwise necessarily, she didn't use it. she felt as kim potter a taser would have been more appropriate under those circumstances given the facts at that particular time. as opposed to using a tarz, she mistakenly used her firearm. the question then becomes was that action, either a, under the current charge we're looking at reckless with respect to her use of a firearm instead of a taser, b, was it careless? the issue is not whether or not ultimately could have been really more effective to use deadly force because of the fact that the law allows it. that's not it. the defense effectively allowed to reframe that issue, then we're at another place. i think the prosecutor worked very hard to bring the issue back to the issue in question, not the issue that the defense would have the jury to believe. >> perhaps it works against kim potter she says on video that she grabbed the wrong gun and that she had wanted to use the taser instead. joey, we'll have to leave it there unfortunately joey jackson, thank you so much. >> you're welcome. thank you. we're continuing to follow breaking news this morning after deadly tornadoes tear through at least five states. let's get straight to the director of kentucky emergency management. michael, good morning and thank you for sharing part of your day with us. in the next hour, you're going to be heading to assess some of the damage with kentucky governor andy beshear. are there any updates you can provide our viewers right now with what you're anticipating? >> well, certainly. and this is a tragic day in kentucky's history. we have had a significant strike, one that may ravel the longest tornado. we have a tornado track that runs over 200 miles from southwest to northeast. we have 19 counties that are impacted. and that is just the immediate assessment. we're certainly waiting for daybreak. our first responders have been out during the event. there have been so many calls for service, so many citizens that were in perilous conditions. so our hearts go out to the families of those who have been lost and certainly the rescues are on going as we speak. >> speak to us about that, because when we heard from our meteorologist a few moments ago, she made clear that there may still be some danger out there, not just from the potential for obstacles and some of the debris that we're seeing but also the weather itself may create some issues for you and your team. >> we've looked thus far at the tornado tracks. there were four separate tracks, the longest one certainly being 200 miles plus. the system is continuing. it won't exit the state on the far eastern borders until about 10:00 a.m. eastern time. certainly has reeked havoc. this will be one of the most significant, the most extensive disasters that kentucky has faced. we're one of the states in the top ten in a normal situation, but our impact is usually flooding. so, this is a tremendous impact for the commonwealth. we have already notified our fema partners in region four. the governor signed a letter to the president asking for an emergency declaration. we're asking for power assessments, we're asking for some overhead teams to come in and help us with command and control and certainly we have incident management teams on the road heading down to our western counties as we speak. >> sir, we're seeing as workers comb through what appears to be a massive debris field that is several feet high, this is in mayfield, kentucky. do you know specifically what areas were hardest hit? i'm not sure if you're able to see what we're showing on the screen right now, but it looks utterly devastating. do you know what may have happened in this area, where the areas of focus should be? >> mayfield and graves county will be ground zero for the commonwealth. this city took the hardest hit. there's massive devastation in that city. we'll be on the way there in several hours after daybreak. >> and sir, i'm wondering if you've had any contact yet with the federal government if there have been any communications perhaps with the white house, any offers of assistance? >> absolutely. fema region four is our oversight for federal assistance. we have reached out to them. the governor has signed a letter requesting immediate assistance from fema and that's making its way through the chain and we'll get a response hopefully some time today. >> and i understand that as you noted there are search and rescue efforts under way right now. what is your message to folks that are feeling desperate, that are perhaps trying to get in touch with loved ones or trying to comb their neighborhoods to figure out where their loved ones might be. what do you say to them? >> you know, it's heart breaking. it's an extremely difficult time. we're not the only state in this event. this will turn out to be a quad-outbreak event with arkansas, missouri, tennessee and certainly kentucky. our first responders are on the ground and they're doing life-saving efforts as we speak. the message is the same. don't go out unless it's an emergency. check on your family, your friends, your neighbors. we are rushing all the assets of the state cabinets down to western kentucky. we have kentucky transportation on the road already with heavy equipment. the national guard will be there at daybreak. we have all the assets of the state moving in that direction. we have mutual aid, management teams moving in that direction. we have a team on the road from metro louisville that will assist mayfield. >> and you know, this is likely a moment of despair for the residents in that area, just looking at the pictures it looks to be a long recovery, a daunting one. on an emotional level, what is your message to people in kentucky? >> you know, kentucky is a resilient state. and we help ourselves. we help our neighbors. so, it is extremely bad now but we're working to get there and at daybreak you'll see what we've always seen, neighbor helping neighbor. and certainly in our commonwealth assets will be there. it is one of the commonwealth's darkest days, but i assure you at daybreak you'll see individuals in that city and many other cities assisting one another. >> michael dossett, thank you for your time and our prayers are with you. if there's something we can do please don't hesitate to reach out to get messages that you need out there. thank you so much. >> thank you for the support. stay with cnn. we'll keep monitoring this story and we'll be right back after a quick break. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ hey google. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ wow, we're crunching tons of polygons here! what's going on?

>> well, it's not unexpected, boris. it's the wintertime. people are now gathering indoors more frequently. and this is what we saw last year over the winter months we had a real increase in cases and the holidays particularly are really challenging time for managing this virus. the highest number of daily cases we've had throughout the pandemic and just one week after new year's last year. so it's really that holiday wintertime viral season plus being indoors that makes it hard. >> and doctor, we saw an increase in cases with the new variant, the delta variant, right? now the omicron variant is out there. are you anticipating that we'll see a similar surge with omicron that we saw with delta? >> yeah. every indication so far, boris, is that this omicron variant is more transmissible than the delta strain or our original coronavirus strain. so we can expect to see an increase in case numbers. so far the patient is that omicron cases will probably be around 50% in the next couple of weeks or so. and so we can expect the numbers of omicron cases to go up. we're already seeing that in hospitals in several states are really being stretched and with the increase in anticipated cases that may lead to increase in hospitalization numbers, we may be in for a difficult time in the next month or two with this om kran variant. >> doctor, i want to ask you about that strain on hospitals because it's something that you're familiar with. several states have deployed national guard to hospitals amid this surge, maine, new hampshire and new york are on that list. are you concerned about the renewed strain on hospital systems and different pockets of the country? >> absolutely. yes. you know, right now in new york and upstate there are about 50 hospitals that have less than 10 percent bed capacity. part of that is staffing issues. we're also having increased numbers of cases and hospitalizations across the state. we're seeing that here in the city as well. but, it's really hard to see this happening where we're in a situation where we have to deploy national guard to help. it was over a year ago that i was leading a national guard team here in new york city to help with our airway cases at our own hospitals of our sickest covid patients. and i was hoping that moment had passed, but it appears that we're in a situation now where we need that kind of support again. >> yeah. sad to see with the pandemic that sometimes it feels like it's a few steps forward and then several steps back again. doctor suzanna hills, thank you so much for sharing your expertise this morning. >> you bet. and the breaking news we've been following this morning, overnight powerful tornadoes ripping through the south and central part of our country. in kentucky alone, the governor says there are at least 50 people who may be dead, possibly 70 to 100. up next we'll go live to the scene and the weather center for the latest. ♪ posed dentin to help repair sensitive teeth. my patients are able to have that quality of life back. i recommend sensodyne repair and protect with deep repair. when it comes to autism, finding the right words can be tough. finding understanding doesn't have to be. together, we can create a kinder, more inclusive world for the millions of people on the autism spectrum. go to autismspeaks.org [uplifting music playing] ♪ i had a dream that someday ♪ ♪ i would just fly, fly away ♪ this holiday season, give your family the gift that keeps on... going?
