A tremendous amount of damage not only from tornadoes, but theres been a lot of rain. The ground here is saturated. You can see here that saturated rain in the ground along with flash floods have set off problems with things like this sinkhole. But the most damage coming from tornadoes. Tornado just hit our town reporter more than two dozen people were injured and some homes were fully destroyed after a severe storm struck the small town of van in texas. This is something you only see in movies. Seeing where the homes once stood and theyre not there anymore. Reporter and there was a huge twisting in iowa where it ripped off the roof of the building. Inside for a banquet, 125 people hunkered down. Remarkably no one was seriously injured. These weather systems from south dakota to texas creating chaos also packed drenching rain. In krum texas, up to 4 inches of rain in an hour led to flash floods. It went all of a sudden. There was nothing you could do if you saw it coming. Reporter the National Guard rescued a half dozen residents trapped by the flood waters. I knew i was scared but i knew she was going to be okay. Reporter this 76yearold was standing on the bed with the rising waters already soaking her feet when a National Guardsman came through her window. Im dressed in hospital garb. Reporter because everythings gone . Everythings gone. Reporter how powerful were those flash floods .

All right. Kerry sanders in texas for us thank you very much. And al, whos going to get it today . Its a much wider swath. Almost 60 Million People being affected by Severe Weather today. Weve got it going on right now. In fact, as you look down in southern texas where youve got a flood watch and severe thunderstorm watch in effect weve got severe thunderstorm warnings also just to the east of del rio, texas. This is all part of a line thats going to stretch from chicago all the way back into texas. The upper midwest on into western pennsylvania. So we have a risk today stretching from western pa Southern Michigan all the way down into texas. 57 Million People at risk. Greatest chance for tornadoes will be in southeastern michigan indiana, and ohio. So the northern part of this line later on this afternoon. And we also have flood watches and flash flood watches and warnings from arkansas into texas. Why . Look at this. Were looking in the next three days about 3 to 4 inches. But by the weekend were talking anywhere from 5 to 7 inches of rain in central and southern texas. Their drought has been taken care of pretty well but at a real cost. Well keep an eye on all of that. Thank you very much. Were also keeping an eye on ana. The remnants of the first named storm of the season dumping rains on parts of North Carolina and virginia. Todays dylan dreyer is in virginia beach. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning, matt. Yeah the remnants of Tropical Storm ana has made their way to virginia beach. This is now the earliest Tropical Storm to hit this far north on the Atlantic Coast before Hurricane Season even starts on june 1st. It made landfall in myrtle beach, South Carolina where it produced nearly 6 inches of rain. We also saw peak wind gusts at 50 to 60 miles per hour. The coast of North Carolina picked up 2 to 4 inches of rain. Beach erosion was the biggest concern because of the rough surf. Now, here today we are looking at those torrential tropical downpours that could lead to some brief urban flooding. But the biggest concern here will be for the rip currents in the ocean. Tomorrow its going to be about 90 degrees here. With folks at the beach, they really need to keep that in mind. And i want to point out a preseason storm this early is no indication that its going to be a bad Hurricane Season but of course well see how that all plays out. Dylan, thank you.

The number of officers ambushed and killed last year was three times higher than the year before. But hattiesburgs mayor does not think deen and tate were targeted.

And they say its important for people to speak up if they know someone that could be inspired by social media to become violent.

Are communicating with isis sympathizers on social media. As was Elton Simpson who attacked at the texas event.

Kristen welker has got the story in baltimore this morning. Good morning to you. Reporter savannah good morning to you. Those six officers charged in the death of freddie gray remain off the job this morning as this city remains divided waiting to see their fate. But last night at this arena in downtown baltimore, thousands put the pain of the past few weeks on hold and enjoyed a brief moment of unity. Baltimore came together sunday night for musical healing. Prince performing live in the heart of a divided city. We are here for you tonight. It was very good for the city. It made us feel like we mattered. Reporter our cameras were not allowed at the concert. But some who videoed during lets go crazy made its way to social media. And he wrote a song about bringing together a new beginning here. The title, baltimore. Does anybody hear us pray for Michael Brown and freddie gray reporter those who attended said it was a tribute to gray and so many other africanamerican songlives lost. One baltimore officer was also hopeful this concert could have an impact. Im hoping it could kind of restore everything. Reporter this follows weeks of unrest after gray died while in police custody. The states attorney Marilyn Mosby has called grays death a homicide and charged the six officers involved. Attorneys for the officers have called for the charges to be dropped alleging mosby has numerous conflicts of interest. Something she denies. So many here hoping a song can spark a conversation after weeks of pain and discord. Were back out doing what we want to do and celebrating the season, you know, and having fun. Reporter now, many were surprised to see Baltimore States attorney Marilyn Mosby at the concert last night. She was sitting on stage. At one point she even waved to a cheering crowd. Meanwhile tonight, the orioles take on the blue jays and fans will be allowed back in the stadium for the First Time Since the orioles played to an empty stadium 12 days ago out of fear that fans could become violent. A very different mood here today, indeed. Savannah, back to you. Kristen welker, thank you. Weve got tamron here in for carson in the orange room. A lot of people talking about what a president ial candidate is and isnt buying online. This is interesting. Almost immediately after republican Carly Fiorina announced last week they faced criticism for not owning carlyfiorina. Org. You should think so. But right now if you go to that page it shows a message about how many people were allegedly fired by fiorina or laid off when she was chief executive of hewlettpackard. So this is what you see at the current moment. Fiorinas team is taking this in stride. Theyre firing back in a humorous way. Theyre going to basically on a website domain purchasing spree. If you go to these three websites take a look closely, they all lead to carly for president. Com. Clever right . So her team is taking credit for swooping up the seth meyers and chuck todd domain. But they claim they didnt grab up the Hillary Clinton one. Domain names have been an issue for candidates this season. Ted cruz hillary, all caught off guard. But we checked this one out. Carly fiorina for president. Com, seems its still available. Should we call this domain name gate. Com . They grabbed chuck todd before Carly Fiorina for president. Domain gate continues.
