weather again in the coming days? another multi-day severe weather event. it looks like monday will be the day that the andover, kansas, area needs to pay attention to, another round of severe weather possible in the exact same areas that were hit hardest by that andover tornado friday evening. today, more immediately, we have a severe weather threat that is an enhanced risk, level 3 of 5 from the storm prediction center, particularly across western portions of texas into the texas panhandle and a slight risk extends into southeast colorado. those are the areas under the gun today for the potential for severe storms. that shifts further eastward again within the kansas area where this monster tornado created such problems, in fact, from the latest storm report from the storm prediction center this tornado actually damaged over 1,000 structures. wow, you can see just how violent it was. very dangerous tornado to say the least, rated ef-3 by the national weather service.

o donnell: in the wake of disasters, we often find communities that come together, and this is when you find the very best that america has to offer. mayfield, kentucky is the quintessential small town. now mayfield is a town of devastation. but for every destroyed home here, you will also find symbols of america, not just flags that survived a monster tornado, but neighbors helping neighbors, strangers helping strangers. this was supposed to be a joyous season, for many here, christmas will mean rebuilding. barbara patterson s home is uninhabitable, but what s remarkable is what survived the storm. the only thing left untouched, a brand-new christmas tree and all the gifts underneath, and with that a reminder to be thankful and to hug your loved ones
