It deals with legal issue, medical issues and ethic issues in the mix. Lets start with this rough one, the nations midsection really dealing with a lot of tough weather. We are starting to see a lot of the videos coming into us of those damaging tornadoes. Cars are overturned rooves ripped off homes.

We continue to track this the damage major and, in fact Oklahoma Citys airport the roy Rogers Airport was shut down. People had to be actually get evacuated.

Overnight, dangerous storms unleashed a string of tornadoes in and around Oklahoma City sirens forcing hundreds of thousands to take cover as the system delivered tennisball hail and tornadoes, serial touching throughout the night. Kf portfolio 4 reporter mark dillard found himself in the middle of one. I got trees come okay down on me back it out, mike, back it out.

Thats all we needed flooding tornadoes, and now wild exotic animals on the loose. Reporter all of those animals were rescued quickly. Obviously, the cleanup is going to take a lot longer, al. We spoke with the police chief in Oklahoma City there are more water rescues going on right now. Jay gray in Oklahoma City thank you so much. Right now you can see heavy thunderstorms south of oklahoma along i35. We got this dry line. Thats where that dry air gets sucked into this and makes it more potent.

Not only does the damage with the tornadoes, but with the rains, we could see massive flooding as well. So there is going to be a dangerous trap. I spent a lot of time with you this morning, al thanks, very much. Meanwhile, deflategate is trending. A much anticipated report finding it is more probable than not that new england patriot staffer took air out of footballs and that tom brady knew something ability the practice. Nbc National CorrespondentPeter Alexander has been on this since the start. Three months later, we are still talking about this. No word from brady, but bradys dad came to his defense, zee saying it has spring gate not deflate get a. Compare that to the ray rice report it was 96 pages the fallout and reaction squarely on the shoulders of new englands number 12. Now hes going to be looked at as a quarterback whose cheated. Reporter tom brady is in the nfl crosshair, the league must decide whether to suspend or defend the mvp. He spoke to me before the deflate gate broke. I felt i always played within the rules. I believe in fair play. I respect the league. Reporter but the independent report concludes it was more probable than not that brady was at least generally aware Team Personnel were deflating critical footballs. The wells report singles auto two long time members of the locker room staff. Some of the evidence is a trail of text message, one calling himself the deflator. Over the course of months there were complaints about a demanding brady, tom is acting crazy about balls, ready to vomit. Heavy indication footballs were deflated in exchange for bribes. I have a big needle for you this week. Better be surrounded by cash and a big kick. In the long term i think people are still going to think of tom brady with the mvp of superbowls and americas quarterback. So while it seems like a big deal now, still we are talking about football and deflated footballs. Reporter missing from the report complete texts, according to report, he refused to turn over call texts or email records to investigators. While brady was a no show in april, even the president joked about deflate gate. I tushl u usually tell a bunch of jokes, i was worried 11 out of 12 of them would fall flat. [ laughter ] reporter this week brady has been his usual high profile self track side Kentucky Derby and ring side manny pacqio fight, same day. He also said this about deflate gate if january. There isnt isis. This isnt, you know no one is dying. Reporter the rest of the patriots including coach Bill Belichick and other thaner robert kraft all cleared. When the story first broke, kraft demanded an apology for the league if it turned out no proof. He reiterated his disappointment and how the investigation was conducted but said the patriots will accept the reports findings and take the appropriate action. All right. Thank you, peter. Meantime we have peter king here he published nfl football night in america. Good morning to you. Everyone is faulting the report for saying more likely than not using these wishy washy legal terms. But does the nfl have the evidence or not . Its a good question. I think page 23 equivocating terms in 139 page document i think one of the things that the nnl has to look at here is how positive are they . Because they are messing with the reputation of one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. They have to be absolutely sure when they penalize him, when they sanction him, that they have the goosd on him. Thats why they are in such a tricky position. They commissioned this report. This is the standard of proof for the leg to say if there is a violation is it more probable than not, how do you discipline him . Right. I think if Roger Goodell and the executive Vice President of the nfl find incontrovertible proof in their eyes that brady had something to do with it they will sanction him harshly. That will be the big question. Because i dont think we know yet what roger good el thinks and hes the man holding the cards right now. I think there is more investigation to be done. Isnt the report supposed to be the final word on it . It is supposed to be the final word. But you know the last time this happened when the new Orleans Saints had a report done on them sean peyton the coach of the saints went into roger good els office and basically threw himself on the mercy of the court. It didnt work again, thats why im not positive its over right now. When you look at this generally, when you look at the past super bowl victory they went on to win, do you think it has a lot of bite for a lot of fans . For a lot of fans it will the patriots are like the yankees, the old cowboy theyre a team that america loves to hate. I think that is one of the things that people take great delight in the kingpin getting toppled. Thats why i think people take great delight this morning looking at tom brady saying hey, look he should get things coming to him. They look at it differently in boston. Peter king good to have you. We are posing that question on today. Com. Should the patriots keep their 2015 super bowl title . Well way in later. About the two guys at the center talking about tom brady, one says talked to him last fight. He actually brought you up and said you must have a lot of stress trying to get them done. I remember brady said he didnt even know who these guys were. But there were Text Messages.
