danger. we re still seeing storms with only five tornado warnings. that seems like a lot, but earlier tonight y had 29 separate tornado warnings for separate storms producing tornadoes on the ground. finally calming down because the heat of the day is gone. there s henriville, farther to the east, same tornado, but almost wiped out a town to the east. we also have incredible new video out of a tornado on the eastern section here of kentucky. kind of the coal fields of kentucky. west liberty, kentucky. this was by far in my opinion, watching the doppler radar, the strongest tornado on radar. doesn t mean it was the strongest one on the ground, but the rotation was the strongest and tightest, speeds going one way to another way were at least 100 miles per hour. this on radar looks like an ef-3 or ef-4 tornado. now with the first video out, driving into west liberty, you can see the damage. yes, it s dark, but you can get a feel for the buildings knocked down. really, a police
outfront tonight, breaking news in the midwest. death and destruction, more severe weather tonight, a series of tornados ripped through five states starting very, very early this morning. leaving a path of devastation in their wake. here is what we know at this moment. at least nine people so far confirmed dead. 100 are injured. more than 300 homes have been damaged or destroyed today and twisters touched down in kansas, missouri, illinois, indiana and kentucky. harrisburg, illinois was one of the hardest hit. the tornado hit just before 5:00 a.m. this morning. the mayor says despite the loss of life and property, his town will endure and he is outfront tonight. those images are stunning and disturbing. can you tell me when you found out about this? what you heard this morning when you woke up to this. well, actually this morning as the alarm was going off, sirens were going off about ten to 5:00, i woke up, got my family up. i went outside an was trying to assess where
i m in front of an apartment complex where six people lost their lives. i ll bring you the whole story from here and from the whole area in the south and midwest that was hit by these deadly storms. and winner take some. mitt romney wins michigan but splits the delegates with rick santorum. romney also picking up another state. this all happening right before super tuesday. and after three days at sea without power means no lights, no toilets, no showers and infested waters, a cruise ship arrives in port finally. and people, boy, they have some stories to tell. but first, we re going to get right over to harrisburg. i was reading that it looks like a bomb went off. i was looking at the aerial pictures. just total devastation where you are. it definitely looks like a bomb went off. just look behind me at the garden heights apartments. it s hard to believe this was an apartment. you can see the car in the smashed garage. then when you look threw the wreckage, you can see re
of devastation, really widespread. some of these images what used to be homes, structures. we saw one wall from the harrisburg med center just totally wiped out. as we continue to follow this story here, let s move on. okay? now we re going to go to missouri governor jay nixon spoke a little while ago about the status of his state and the aftermath. take a listen. i think put into context of a couple of things, first in the context of this particular site here, no loss of life. that s for preparation and also for the emergency responders that were here to make a real difference for folks in the middle of the night and the middle of a storm. just that training makes a serious and appropriate difference. but this is a lot of damage. the insurance issues here, the property damage issues here are going to be significant, but the bottom line is joplin is going to be a real sounding board for everybody else across our state, that you can rebuild, that you will rebuild, you ll sta
