completely leveled including mayfield and western kentucky, the governor says more than 100 people could be dead after a tornado, thousands are facing a long hard road to recovery, and meantime workers in illinois said they do not expect to find any more survivors in the rubble of an amazon warehouse, six people were killed when a wall the length of a football field collapse during the storm. we have fox news coverage, charles watson will bring us the very latest of the cleanup in illinois but fertile go to steve harrigan live in mayfield kentucky. >> that rising death toll is really no surprise when you look at downtown mayfield. it's a stunning view of what was the heart of the city of 10000 now it's a layer after layer of debris parts of buildings on top of cars and more cars. i talked to an engineer this morning who is evaluated the damage and his words were complete devastation as he walked by. as a death toll continues to rise we talked to a number of people who survived that night and voted out of their houses which are largely destroyed here's what some survivors had to say about that friday night. >> it looks like a giant lawnmower went through town. >> the houses right here. >> it was sad and scary. >> for five houses gone now there's nothing left. >> in the hallway we got down over our dog and we were both praying. >> even though the challenge is massive help is pouring in from all sides they had fema as well as homeland security and the local red cross official told people what is needed immediately. >> the first need is really shelter. people need a safe place to stay. that's what were working on right now. >> we've been watching police go from pile to pile where houses once stood to move the debris to find the remains of missing people. back to you. arthel: thank you harrigan in mayfield kentucky. eric: the storms cut off power to tens of thousands of people across western kentucky as well as other parts of the southeast, utilities and overdrive to restore electricity. as you can see it's a daunting tax with the widespread path of destruction. utility poles toss like toothpicks, thousands of miles of wire drawn across like strands of hair. electrical contractor says it is working to restore power to parts of the kentucky commonwealth, jake green joined us now. what is the latest, the workers out there and you have the trucks, how does this work? >> thank you for having us on and it is definitely a devastating site to see. we have 800 people actively employed or deployed right now storm restoration in the majority of her focus and western kentucky. the also in the surrounding states. there is about 50000 people without power but that number is nowhere reflective of the devastation that we've experienced in the state. >> how did the crew start were taking a look at the scene. where does it start to get power from the generating station right into somebody's home. it seems like this could take many weeks and maybe even months. >> route the year we work for the utilities and we worked hard in their system but nothing can prepare for winds in excess of 100 miles per hour, and parts of kentucky we have the whole power grid that is down. that is our focus right now building the backbone and were rebuilding transmission lines, substations and distribution power lines. quite frankly there's places were not even building power to because there's no building left to build power. the focus is the backbone of the systems and grades. eric: how does that work today calling crews from across the of where to start. the first part will be a massive coordination and once we get settled in we should see a lot of the customer outages go down but it's going to be a slow process. we have crews right now rebuilding poles and putting up wire and rebuilding substations and big translation lines as well. arthel: do you know how many resources you need or poles, they gotta come from somewhere. who orders on how does that work? >> that the responsibility of the getting as much power as we can in a short amount of time. the full repair in the whole restoration process will last months to really get the system back to where it used to be. arthel: temporary genders are being brought in, the federal government resources. >> you just mentioned months, i imagine after the widespread devastation, this is historic string of tornadoes, reports of 37 through six states. i guess you are talking months. >> we hope to get the power back on as soon as possible but the recovery that these communities are going to face is going to be really long road. we are hearing it could take months. >> the committee deals with transmission, utilities, something we all take for granted you just hit the switch until something like this happens. thank you and thank you for the workers that you have out there on the lines. >> thank you. arthel: hopes had faded of finding any more survivors in the rubble of an amazon warehouse in illinois. authorities say the rescue efforts are recovery mission, 45 workers made it out safely after a tornado ripped the roof off the facility and edwardsville causing the walls to crumble, six people are confirmed dead. charles watson live in atlanta with more details. >> there is little hope if any at all the survivors will be found in the amazon warehouse and edwardsville, crews are focusing on search and recovery efforts as they try to encounter everyone inside the facility. the shift to recovery of full day after a series of powerful tornadoes slammed into amazon's warehouse, according to officials six people were killed and one other injured after a section of the roof and 40-foot concrete walls were bulldozed to the ground, workers inside were completely caught off guard running for their lives to find cover, one amazon employee detailing the terrifying moments when the tornado hit the building. >> as i look up the corner of the building and shaking and it comes in and then i feel the gates coming up behind me and i sit there in my van hoping it does not move. >> amazon ceo jeff bezos expressing heartbreak for the families who lost loved ones and the company spokesperson telling fox news amazon stands ready to support the community. >> this could take a long time to bring back, we will do right by them. >> i just spoke with an amazon spokesperson not too long ago, in addition to helping out team members the company is working hard to support the community that includes a $1 million donation to the edwardsville community foundation. arthel: very good, charles watson live in atlanta. thank you. eric: let's go over to tennessee, for people killed after more than a dozen tornadoes touched down. hundreds of homes were destroyed, volunteers of the volunteers they are helping with the masses turn up and not entering ongoing. >> live outside of nashville in houston springs tennessee i woman put out of her mobile home that turned over on her, she was rescue thankfully. >> good reports from neighbors even though they had been through so much, the national weather service confirming six tornadoes alone and that's not counting the others that hit in west tennessee with deadly consequences you mentioned for dead, the chainsaws have been running from dawn until dusk, i want to show you around this neighborhood within 60 homes in this neighborhood alone that have been affected by the storm no deaths to report but loss until lots of damage to the community. they sought refuge in the church i'm standing to in the basement some people telling me they tried to ride the storm on their homes and lifted their home 40 feet off of its foundation. you're talking earlier about the widespread power outages. let me show you something leading to that even in areas that were directly affected by the tornado, this is video of a tower that is down in paris tennessee and henry county on the kentucky line, lines like this carry electricity to providers, these are massive high-voltage and they take a while to rebuild that's part of the reason why bc widespread power outages even in communities that were directly affected by the tornadoes. but the volunteer state is swiftly moving into action to help neighbors, there is somebody communities that were trying to wrap our heads around, the surveys of all the damage that these tornadoes took not only throughout the state but in kentucky and other states it's a long road ahead and were trying to understand the full-scale of the damage of a lot of these communities are seeing. .eric: you can see the extent of the damage with the towers bent because of the wind. >> in kingston springs tennessee. for a complete storm

governor beshear in kentucky, nothing that was standing in the direct line of this tornado is still standing. we currently have 18 counties with damage. as of this morning we had 36 and 50000 kentuckians without power. i will say that is improving. mayfield where we are today, dawson springs, my dad's hometown. and bremen were hit hard, bowling green sustained significant damage. this will be the longest tornado in my u.s. history from the point where touchdown to when it finally picked back up, 220 miles 200 are in my state whether people that have suffered from it. it was joined by three other tornadoes here in kentucky i think we now may believe anymore. i've been living this in real time since midnight yesterday. i was at the state emergency operation receiving reports in real time, western kentucky and its people were at ground zero. 40 hours in his right think we are, first are grateful, were grateful to our first responders who were there, all through the evening and the storm showing incredible heroism and they are still at work. we're grateful for all the outset we received from other cities in other states, help from the federal government that is come in so many different forms. were grateful for the outpouring of love for the best way i can describe it from all over the country and all walks of life. i want to thank everybody for standing with the people kentucky, we feel it in whatever biggest challenges right now is organizing the amount of people that want to donate and volunteer. that is the best challenge any of us could ask for. we declared a state of emergency in advance of midnight before the storm hits we've now been granted the immediate state of emergency it is rare and granted incredibly quickly and we are grateful to homeland security, fema and president biden himself. the national guard has been deployed we have over 300 guardsmen that are active and outer communities, they're doing everything from door-to-door in many of these communities will have doors anymore, the going rubble to rubble searching hopefully for survivors but otherwise have certainty for families that we can advise them of their loss. there during debris removal and helping out and law enforcement capacity where needed. our transportation cabinet has been out hundreds of kentucky workers and every large truck we can find. today in mayfield we started moving debris out and when you think 40 hours then that's a testament to the people in the workers and also the workers at that cabinet. the division of forestry is assisting with tree removal, we have requested and received assistance from all over the state and from the federal government including search and rescue from the federal teams as well as other state teams and for supplies especially drinking water and generators we are now working on getting enough water for the hospitals here to operate on a daily basis until service is restored. we launched the western kentucky release fund at wk y relief fund.ky.gov. here is how the people of america responded, 18031 donations, over $2.3 million every single penny will come to help our families here, the first to of expenses, grants that we will rollout are for funeral assistance. the very first thing we have to do is grieve together and we will do that before we rebuild. more information will be coming on that. today we can announce our state parks are open to help families that have lost their homes. we are taking the men and trying to guarantee everybody a two week stay so they're not worried about tomorrow they can worry about finding their relatives and making sure the kids have enough to eat. we open kentucky village, lake berkeley that is in this region which can help the people of bowling green and audubon which can help the folks in 104 adults and two kids that is helping the people of dawson springs count half of which is leveled. it's open first responders and volunteers as well. let me think all of them, every single one for what they are doing. they helped us clear roads and ultimately even knocked on doors where they stand to check on people. we wanted to get the rest of the country for your attention, help and for your prayers. we needed them and we are still hoping as we move forward for miracles to find more people and hopefully have a lower death count than what we expect. i wish i understood. while begotten hit with the pandemic historic i storm, flooding and now the worst tornado in our history all in the span of 19 months. what i do know and kentucky were good people and we care about one another. that's why people were in the storm helping their neighbors or people they don't know, that's what other counties you can look up people shirts there here immediately trying to help, we opened 13 shelters the only have six because we take each other enter homes, we will grieve together, we will dig out and clean up together and we will rebuild and move forward together, we will get through this together because that is what we do. we are blessed today to have a secretary for u.s. department of homeland security and the administrator for federal emergency agency known as fema less than 40 hours after this event began. federal government has been there every step of the way even helping us to know what we can ask for insane yes. i want to thank all of them the press is coming three times yesterday alone. i believe will hear from congressman kober in a minute i heard from senator mcconnell and we are pleased with the response, we want to thank you so much were first going to hear from alejandro mayorkas secretary u.s. department of homeland security. mr. secretary we cannot thank you enough for being here for people. >> thank you very much governor. >> fema administrator and i visited the candle in the decimated site earlier today. we spoke with the leader of the search and rescue team and had the opportunity to thank some of his members. i saw on site a backpack that was left behind in a pair of shoes. he represents a tragedy that a tornado has wreaked on this area of kentucky. we learned the telephone was recovered a cell phone that recorded 27 missed messages, we've lost fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters and others but as a government so poignantly and powerfully stated we will get through this, we will grieve together but we will also recover together. that is why we in the federal government are here today. i want to make it perfectly clear that we are here physically today but we will be here tomorrow in the days, weeks and months ahead until the recovery is complete. i want to express our tremendous thanks and admiration of the governor for his leadership, the people kentucky. at a time like this is the time to come together and that is indeed what we have done federal, state and local personnel of all walks in response to the needs of the people. we also visited a fire station and saw first responders who themselves are survivors of the disaster, they placed their own needs behind and continue to respond to the needs of others. i want to pay special thanks to the first responders and all of those in the area who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the well-being of others. we met with the mayor of mayfield and heard her expression of commitment to the recovery. one of the things that we've learned over the years about disasters is the need to lean forward and move personnel and resources very early that is indeed what we have done. fema has deployed its incident management assistance teams to kentucky to help lead the federal offer on the ground, damage assessment teams, search and rescue an additional staff were ready to support the rescue operation, fema is helping deliver food, water, shelter, power and all necessary aid to local communities, upon receiving request yesterday from the governor president biden approved an emergency declaration for kentucky given this commonwealth and the local emergency responders needed resources for this response including direct federal assistance for dhs, the department of homeland security, fema and the rest of the federal family. as the president told the country yesterday whatever is needed here in kentucky enter crossed any community affected by this tragic event, the federal government will do everything that we can, everything in our power to help. now let me turn over to fema administrator for further details. >> ticket mr. secretary and thank you, governor into all of the people of kentucky my heart goes out to each and every one of you who have experienced the tragic events from these tornadoes. as you heard from the governor yet an outpouring of support that is coming from other communities but i want you to know your country is praying with you today you speedy recovery and for all the tragedy that you've endured. i would also like to recognize the first responders, the heroic efforts that they put forward over the last 48 hour since a tornado struck are just incredible. going out there not knowing what their families are going through or their homes and making sure that they're taking care of their communities. her first responders across the nation are amazing to me at how they're so available and put themselves in harm's way to make sure others can be safe. from the bottom of my heart, thank you very much. we also heard incredible stories of neighbors helping neighbors, neighbors rescuing people from rubble. you are also first responders, thank you for the effort that you put in to make sure your neighbors are safe. we did have an opportunity to visit a couple of areas that had been impacted. we were able to tour graves county in marshall county as well as visit the camel factory. as you heard the governor say me, myself and the rest of the nation we've been watching this and see the pictures. but standing there in these communities you do not get that feeling from a picture. when you stand in one direction and look and see all the devastation and turn to your right and all the devastation around you, you cannot understand how this is impacted the communities until you're there. it's so important to be here so we can make sure were provided the right level of assistance to help with your response and ongoing recovery. we had the opportunity a few moments ago to hear from accounting executive where the governor brought them together to hear the impacts of their having and some of the shortfall the things that we heard our housing and houses going to be a tremendous needs to go forward. power you will all of these things to help the community start the rebuilding process. because we know housing is good to be a tremendous need, whatever housing experts will be here tomorrow to begin the strategy for how we will help with the long-term housing needs in the recovery of these communities. we also did receive a request for book over moments ago offered to disaster declaration. they approved an emergency declaration that allowed us to move resources to start with those initial response efforts. the major disaster declaration will help individuals. you can go to disaster assistance.gov and find the system that will be available once the declaration is approved it will allow us to help with the long-term repair of the critical infrastructure damaged by the storm. again go to disaster system.gov and you can find more information of what will be available. we know the communications are bad you will not be able to access the sites that we send you two were make phone calls. we will send teams into the field we call them disaster survivors assistance team if you see somebody walking around with the fema shirt or jacket in java question pulled them aside the good be able to look it up, they can find information and they can help you and be part of the team. this disaster declaration will allow us to bring the entire federal together to provide the much-needed support for today and the duration of the recovery governor you have my commitment to make sure were giving you everything that you need to help with this long recovery that you will be faced with. >> i want to think the secretary in the administrator this is the fastest emergency declaration that i've ever heard of they had resources on the way even before it lies process, is everything we could request. it also reminded me of our police chief doing a great job in mayfield having to survey his own officers today to see whose homes were standing and who needed help, can you imagine that working two straight days to help people when you're home, that's what we got people doing. i also met earlier we have a lot of things out there i want to thank at&t which got to communities their cell phones backup they were having trouble communicating even with each other and emergency personnel we appreciate the second one that just came up online. next i want to introduce our director of kentucky emergency management. >> thank you, governor. >> just a few brief comments, first of all our hearts go out to you and to the families of those that have been lost the tragic event that will rank among one of kentucky's worst disasters. thank you to secretary mayorkas, thank you so much for coming to see on the ground the other side of kentucky, you go to many places in the nation and follow disasters across the country seeing only hours after the event is priceless. thank you so much. our administration have probably spoke most often once a week she is the administrator, please raise your hand. she's the administrator and has been nothing more than exceptional in processing this disaster. in fact as was indicated assistance was on the way before we had the first declaration. i just received an e-mail not two minutes ago that advised our expedited application by the governor and then forwarded and i hope to have some news the governor will share shortly after that. thank you for the quick response some of the things we have on the ground now we talked about in the team the major search and rescue team we requested several more to assist in other areas of impacted counties. that's in the works this is the overhead team that manages the disaster with us there already working and we have a support team and comments about the long-term housing in this disaster that he will be here with her staff and we will draft the plan bringing new housing into construction and setting expectations that this doesn't happen overnight in the process is starting immediately. john brogan are you here. john is your boarding officer, was here for the ice storm the flooding event, he is no stranger to what we needed kentucky and he'll be working this disaster two. i'm just going to tell you a short story on arturo today we met with the lady by the name of jenna adams who is a council person for the mayor and she was so significant and speaking about what kentuckians do, she went home and had to deal with her washing the washing machine that was going to ruin because the power was out and she was dealing with aftermath of some recovery issues and she talked about what neighbors are doing and we saw for ourselves as we've all done in the past few days. i want to end with thanking you, thanking you for your efforts and thanking you for kentuckians being kentuckians and doing what we do. >> i want to thank kentucky's federal delegation, every single member of the delegation that pushed hard successfully with the steps that we need, they have been supportive even when we've been out of communication sometimes. we have the congressman that has been right here with a hold of james comey. >> i want to thank governor tran16 for his quick response in emergency management in the national guard and the state police i want to thank secretary in the fema director for coming here immediately. this is way to be an effort that's going to take local, state and federal cooperation and we pledge that we had a meeting prior to the press conference with the local elected most adversely affected spoke about the immediate need of power and water estimation and getting utilities back i think everyone's going to be working together this is an going to happen hope i explained to be a long process and speak to his every local resident in this community they will all quickly say were going to rebuild and come back. that's what you have in this part of kentucky and west kentucky people to have a sense of community pride and they want to rebuild and were gonna be there cooperating on the state and federal and local levels. thank you. >> accept the national guard which is been so critical the last 18 or 19 months and somebody different ways. we call on them to do so much they were helping our staff to overrun hospitals at a time when we desperately needed help every community there in the overall picks up window when there there. here is general to give us an update. >> thank you's are purely currently the kentucky national guard as a governor mentioned on duty were operating the nine kentucky counties one of six or here in graves county we are pouring missions search and rescue in air support and airlift. we continue to anticipate the needs and the process request of the operations center. as always were proud to serve the common wealth and power kentuckians. thank you. >> this person i give unto when i got on scene, the mayor here when i first got to talk to her censuses happen we were standing outside of the factory. these are all our people, these are neighbors of hers that she serves every day, mayor we are with you and we love you. >> as the mayor of this kentucky town one of the greatest honors that i have is watching the first responders all over the county as they run to disasters. 40 hours after the greatest disaster to ever hit kentucky and especially my hometown. i know because there standing behind me that my state government and my federal government are running toward that disaster with us. they came to us. i did not call them, they called me. it shows me how miraculous a situation exist in the commonwealth and within our federal government. whose son rose over western kentucky in mayfield the morning after the sword disaster. he walked into the fire station of our city government complex, are city hall is destroyed, our fire station was destroyed. i don't think this class in any vehicle or property that the city owns the isn't shattered. as they walked out i was across the street and i looked over the city and i said it before it looked like match sticks. and i did cry i tried not to cry a lot but i did cry i had to have a moment. and i look to crossed in in the rubble of that bank i saw the flag of the united states that just recently flown at the fire station i walked across the street and i moved the bricks aside in standing to the right of me were to ever first responders and i went to them and handed it to them in immediately the two men began to fold it with the most respect they were tired and dirty and they begin to fold it as gently and beautifully as i've ever seen. i have had that flag with me in my possession and safely at my home. it will always hold a slice of respect on the city government complex, however, it may look in the future. it will be there. i know in the future we will raise another flag which represents everything that is happening here all the efforts of everyone and that day when we raise that flag of hope and security over the fire station once again i want to think the media, you don't hear that much, i want to thank you because you're telling her story. every mayor feels the same that we are special and i said at the beginning we may squabble and disagree but this is what we do we come together and we work to build. thank you so much for building with us. >> will open it up to questions just let us know who your question is for. >> has anybody been pulled out alive since the press conference. >> were still getting information in on the kindle factory. the owner has been in contact and believes he has different information were trying to verify. if so it may be a better situation in the miracle we were hoping for. but since 330 yesterday we have not made another live rescue. >> can you give us hard numbers the number of people that are missing, the number of rescues. >> the numbers that we had and we were talking about yesterday are still the numbers that we have. again the company right now is has different information but until we can verify it we were still where we were yesterday. >> were running down the information, 110 or so people within the facility. originally there were 40 rescues and they're still trying to make contact with different individuals and to determine how bad it is. i am praying that the original estimates that those we lost our wrong. if so it can be pretty wonderful but it is way too early. >> in terms of size. >> we will have over 1000 homes that are just gone and that assessment is going to take some time. i don't think we'll see damage at the scale ever. [inaudible question] >> or the hearing graves county? >> are responders were sending people. >> wrapped the fairground. >> we are dropping water at the fairgrounds. we were having all the packages delivered there from different groups such. >> a local pharmacy to assist. >> a local pharmacy on the way to assist. >> i know right and you're trying to save lives but will you look to rebuild in a way that there is more safety in the event that works. >> every time we rebuild we want to be more resilient we don't want to see this happen again. without when it's all said and done and they evaluate the power of this tornado i think it's pretty hard to build a structure that can ultimately hold up. whether any structures have been brick or wood or steel, some of the metal buildings are gone. when the tornado hit it did not take a roof which we've seen in the past. it exploded the whole house, people, animals and the rest are just gone. we need to rebuild and be more resilient. there were a lot of warnings but this is so powerful. i don't think there's any blame people together trying to move forward. [inaudible question] >> we don't have a firm number on injuries. we know hospitals here saw 80 people in the first eight hours, bowling green hospital significant to and on the death count we know we will have at least four counties in double-digit. the best that we can hope for would be 50 but i think it's going to be significantly worse than that, we are still finding bodies we have cadaver dogs and towns that they should not have to be in. [inaudible question] >> thousands, thousands of people without homes we don't have an exact number of houses because right now are trying to count people and that's where we have our main focus. >> let me get the number of the confirmation i get the reports on what we seen but they're not confirmed until the person is fully identified in the family is notified. you have the confirmed number? >> is this moment the kentucky health department. >> the best case scenario were at 50 that without we had earlier i'm not optimistic but i'm certainly going to hope for i know were over ten in warren county and we have significant loss. were over ten in the town of 100 some people. whereat 3 - 5 in caldwell. those numbers will grow as we go house to house and home to home. [inaudible question] >> we are grateful for the outpouring of support of intention and prayers from this country and from the world it's all we can ask for it is pure love. one country you're not worried about is us but i hope that they see and that we love one another were good people to care about one another we open her homes and businesses and people get power on the reaching out to everybody else to invite the men. the number of emergency responders are just volunteers my dad is from dawson springs in the number of volunteers when i was there yesterday is truly special. i hope that they see estate the cares about one another. that's willing to grieve with one another but strong enough to rebuild. >> to know the families of the factory workers. and you turned of identifying leads. >> the process is not a process i agree with the families are notifying after individuals fully identified by the coroner were others. as we see more events like this we need to be more upfront about the possibilities for those families and each of them. i'm really sorry you are not supposed to lose people the way that we lost in the last two years and they're not supposed to lose people like this into not knowing how the information has got to make it that much harder. [inaudible question] >> do we have a mere report on total number missing? >> will have the report to come in and will try to compile and move forward. i know it's being done by some volunteers that are there to create the list and dawson springs multiple pages singlespaced with communications down is a real challenge when your cell phones don't work in these communities. exactly how do you find people to truly know how many are missing, were 40 hours in and the level of devastation does make specific numbers i know you want difficult to have. [inaudible question] >> or school systems now are stage of grounds where we want to get power up and going were sending a large generator to dawson springs school and their truly functioning as shelter and staging grounds. it is a special place that's important in the midst of this. i know in these communities without power they obviously will not have school tomorrow. [inaudible question] >> the ministries in mayfield for those people trying to find it is going to take time to get the school systems backup and functional in some areas it would happen faster than others we talk about 18 counties some that are intact that need power and phone service and will want to be back in school as quickly as we can get for others like here and dawson is going to take more time. >> you said yesterday the employees were some given the option to leave? >> right now i'm unaware of what was communicated to the individuals in the factory i do know based on accounts of those who have gotten out and also where we found people who have it, it appears most i hope that area was safe as it could be, but this thing got hit directly by the strongest tornado we could have possibly imagined. >> [inaudible] >> there was, there is a portion that, i believe, that they are trained to go to. and we do think many people, maybe even most people were able to get to that point. but again, this is -- this information coming from some who made it out from what we see there, we'll learn more on that as the days go forward. our operation right now is recovery. >> governor -- [inaudible] >> i'm emotional after two days. this is a place that, i mean, dawson's a place where i go and i sit on my grandparents' front porch. about two weeks a year, one at christmas and one at the barbecue festival. they'd all sing -- they tell me not to sing. and i went to check on their house, and their house is still there. but, i mean, one block up and left or right is just gone, just flattened. and again, for folks that can only see the image, you stand in the midst of this and everything you see, everything right, left, forward, backwards is gone, and you can see for maybe even miles that you previously couldn't. and so it hurts. but i know it doesn't hurt me nearly as much as the people who live here and their house is not there anymore. >> [inaudible] >> so electricity coming on in some places faster than others. it depends on the damage. i know marshall county is coming up a little bit faster. here in grace county, it's a work in progress. it really ends up depending on how many lines are down, how significant -- [audio difficulty] is really moving. on the water side, it depends on what exactly has been damaged and what it takes to operate it. i know in dawson a generator was able to, or they believe it's able to get the pumps back going. again, in marshall county i think water is being restored. again, it's community by community in what it's going to take. >> [inaudible] last night into today -- [inaudible] saturday at 3:30. have more bodies been pulled -- [inaudible] >> i think we are still trying to get the most accurate information. we expect there to be, you know, a significant death toll. we are checking on new information coming in from the company and hope to have a clearer picture on that. i mean, there have been, there have been, i think, multiple bodies. but just the wreckage is extensive as we continue to try to get through it. >> governor -- [inaudible] >> we have the national weather service here. they could answer any questions. >> good afternoon. my name is christine
