Usually the categories only have to do with what the max wind speeds that have occurred. notice the important thing here, the drift to the northwest at only 6 miles per hour. so its not moving quickly. here is a closer view of our radar and we also have our watch box on here. notice its not even where the center is. the tornado watch box is this pink line that includes all areas up towards houston and towards beaumont, texas. this is a huge area that we have the potential of dealing with the sto...

When they hear these controversial comments, and i put that in quote, as played back by the media being urged to think these are terrible things to say -- >> you are saying they backlash. >> there is a backlash to this. i think governor kasich doesnt get the drift. i think in all candor, he is way down in the polls. hes got to do something as do the other candidates. there is desperation here. >> i think it is a new strategy. they are trying to get together and rally behind, we must go after car...

This piece of debris was found k.. can you just share with us your thoughts when you heard this debris was found off the coast of madagascar? >> well, we have done -- our thoughts were certainly that it is possible associated with the asian aircraft. and thats something we say has to be confirmed. because we have done a considerable amount of modeling of how floating debris would drift in the indian ocean. and over the length of time six to eight months were talking about, the drift goes a consi...

During flight. >> now that they have this, is there any reverse engineering that can go on? how helpful is it that its 2300 miles away from where theyre looking? >> the reverse engineering as far as the drift patterns, i dont think there could be anything conclusively derived from where its located. there were two major, major storms in this period of time that went through this area and could have disrupted even what you would think of as the currents and because its floating as well, even the ...

Is likely to have entered the water. the information provided is the most credible lead we currently have in the search for aircraft wreckage. however, this information needs to be continually adjusted for the length of time elapsed since the aircraft went missing and the likely drift of any wreckage floating on the ocean surface. finally, let me stress that under international convention, malaysia has investigative responsibility for malaysian airlines flight mh-370. at this stage, the atsbs ta...

Refined analysis take you to a different place. i dont count the original work as a waste of time. >> reporter: i think its important to note from the malaysian press conference that the objects previously identified, five of them in all, could still be valid. they could have floated given the drift of the oceans up into that search zone. >> they did say they could have traveled hundreds of miles since the satellite images were taken. the search area now continues to move it seems day by day. an...

The missing plane. did. and after doing all of that, now they said run the equation for the missing plane. and this has to be your answer right there in the bottom. and the yellow boxes is when you add in the drift patterns. it is mathematical detective work. and its not that complicated, but it hasnt been applied this way before. i was talking to a professor at georgia tech who said this is pretty basic work, but if you extrapolate it properly, it should be rock solid. so that is how they manag...

Find any sign of that debris. again, it gets under way right away. >> all right. nbcs sara james. great information. thank you. the object spotted a few days ago could have drifted hundreds of miles. and the search area is over a massive stretch of ocean. kathleen doh a,n is a research scientist whose specialty includes turbulence and ocean currents. she joins me from seattle. all right. lets get right into this question of the drift, kathleen. how does the oceanic drift and the weather factor...
