Reporter miguel and christine. This area has been extraordinary. This is the closest we have been alollowed to get to the damage.

When you consider the force of that ef4 tornado, up to 200 miles an hour, it is amazing there were not more lives lost. 11 People Killed as a result of the storm system.

Millions of people in the path of destructive weather. For the latest on the Severe Weather threat this morning, lets go to meteorologist pedram javaheri. What is going on . This is just so much weather so many weather events across the country. What is funny, a week ago we were in a spell that was quiet and it was good news because it was quiet. Tornado fatalities, we had 10 leading up to the 23rd of december for the calendar year. Since, a dozen or potentially more based on which are related to tornado. You look at the pattern here which is springlike pattern set up over the region. Heavy snow and blizzard conditions. In places like dallas, where temperatures were 82 degrees on saturday afternoon before the series of tornadoes. They are now feeling closer to 27 degrees. That is a dramatic change in the weather pattern. The tornado watches in place like new orleans, baton rouge and jackson, mississippi. 6 Million People under tornado watches in the next couple hours. Conditions are favorable. You notice tornado warnings are indicated. Radar indicated rotation east of baton rouge and natches as well. Certainly a pattern that is not done with yet. The Storm Prediction Center puts 8 Million People in line. You noticed it is pushing off to mississippi and alabama. The main threat for monday is damaging winds. The storm has a history of producing 67 tornadoes in the past week. Certainly not something to let off your guard. This is what miguel was talking about. At least 140 Million People under the weather event here when it comes this afternoon. From severe to flooding to ice to blizzard. This is something that will keep the roads dangerous over the next couple hours as people travel back from the holidays. Thank you, pedram. Turning now to iraq. Security forces recapturing a key government facility from isis in ramadi. Fighting fierce in the region. Iraqi officials now insist they have control of the city. They are predicting the freedom of mosul next. Are they confident they will secure ramadi here . Reporter they are confident they can secure it. It is holding on to it. They say they are in control of the government compound which is previously held by isis fighters in ramadi. They say the army now controls all key points of the city. They are suggesting an imminent isis withdrawal from the city. The government is confident enough to say that plans to have a flag raising ceremony later today. They are saying that they expect the complete retaking of ramadi in the coming days. There are caveats here. Still some pockets of isis resistance. Security forces are advancing slowly. I guess it is important to point out why this all matters. Retaking ramadi will be the iraqi army single biggest victory of isis since the group swept the country in 2014. It is a predominately sunniarab city. It is 60 miles west of baghdad. It fell in may. You remember defense secretary ash carter questioned the iraqi armys will to fight. Importantly, victory will be seen as a test of washingtons military strategy which is providing the iraqi army on the ground with u. S. Air support and military advisers. This is a strategy which is derided by those who want to see the ratcheting up of the efforts and u. S. Boots on the ground. The pentagon and Obama Administration will see this as an important victory. There are some 6,000 to 9,000 sunni tribal fighters on the ground. This is controversial to the shiite backed militia used in other operations. Again, considered a solid achievement in and of itself. The government has set the next target in its sights. Mosul. That could prove a much tougher proposition. Back to you. Thank you, Becky Anderson. The leader of isis trying to rally his troops in the face of military setbacks in iraq and syria. An audio message reportedly made by baghdadi assures they are on the right path. The voice on the recording urges isis troops to be patient. If the voice is al baghdadi, it is the First Time Since may he has been heard from. The taliban is making a comeback. That is the announcement. The Afghan Military failed to meet the peoples expectations because it lacks discipline. More than 7,000 members of the afghan force have been killed by taliban. And several european cities warned about possible terror attacks. Not saying which cities could be attacked. For the latest on the threat, we go live to london and bring in cnns robyn kriel. Robyn, a generic threat, but it is serious. Reporter indeed. You are seeing a threat to the cities across the continent. Not specific cities as you said, but specifics in terms of what weapons could be used. Guns or bombs. We also understand coming from vienna that there were attackers names mentioned in the threat coming from a quote friendly intelligence service. We are not sure who that could be. The names of attackers according to vienna police, they are not giving any concrete results. Bombs between christmas and new year. This is an incredibly busy season. A number of people out on the streets, shopping, sight seeing and concerning to people here. In britain, the Terror Threat level has remained constant since 2006. That was the last time it was changed. At the moment, the current threat level is listed as severe. Robyn kriel for us in london. Thank you. Time for an early start on your money.

We are just getting these numbers in for the last few minutes. We know 20 fatalities related to tornadoes in 2015. That makes it the second deadliest tornado outbreak for december with fatalities.

Defense secretary ash carter questioned the iraqi armys will to fight. The victory in ramadi will be seen as a test of the iraq and u. S. Military strategy. U. S. Air support and military advisors. This is a strategy much derided by those who want to see a ratcheting up of the washington efforts and perhaps boots on the ground. The other important point here, there is Something Like 6,000 to 9,000 sunni tribal fighters supporting the efforts. That is opposed to the iran backed Shiite Militia who have been used in other operations. Again, this will be considered a solid achievement in and of itself. The Iraqi Government said the next target in its sights is mosul. This is the biggest Population Center under isis control either in iraq or syria.
