hearing any new evidence. abc's senior white house correspondent cecilia vega was in the cabinet room when the president delivered that message today. >> reporter: with impeachment pressure mounting, today president trump lashed out at fellow republicans, saying they need to do more to defend him. >> the republicans have to get tougher and fight. we have some that are great fighters, but they have to get tougher and fight. >> reporter: the president taking aim at utah senator mitt romney, who's been stepping up his criticism. >> we certainly can't have presidents asking foreign countries to provide something of political value. that is, after all, against the law. >> reporter: and now, one of the president's closest allies says he's leaving the door open to impeachment. >> are you open-minded if more comes out that you could support impeachment? >> sure, i mean -- i mean -- show me something that is a crime. if you could show me that, you know, trump actually was engaging in a quid pro quo outside the phone call, that would be very disturbing. >> reporter: but the president told me he's not worried his party will turn on him.
what about republican support? do you -- are you working behind the scenes to shore up support in the senate? >> i think i have great republican support. >> reporter: republicans on capitol hill increasingly uneasy, unsettled by the president's whiplash decisions in syria and his braden plan to hold the g7 summit at his own florida resort. >> at the end of the day, you know, he still considers himself to be in the hospitality business. >> you say he considers himself in the hospitality business. >> sure. >> he's the president of the united states. >> yeah. >> reporter: feeling the pressure, the president reversed course. >> i was willing to do this for free. and they -- it would have been the greatest g7 ever. we'll look at other locations. i don't think it will be as exciting. i don't think it will be as good. >> reporter: he blasted the law that forbids presidents from profiting off the u.s. and foreign governments. >> you people with this phony emoluments clause. >> reporter: the emoluments clause, of course, written into the constitution. today, president trump clearly frustrated. >> the president of the united states should be allowed to run the country, not have to focus on this kind of crap.
>> cecilia vega with us live at the white house. and cecilia, we know the impeachment inquiry resumes tomorrow, and lawmakers are going to hear from a key witness, the top u.s. diplomat in ukraine, and of course, he was the one who raised questions in that text about the president's decision to withhold that foreign aid? >> reporter: yeah, david. bill taylor, you remember that he sent that text message to other u.s. diplomats. he's really become central in this impeachment inquiry. he raised alarms, saying that he thought it was, quote, crazy to hold back military aid to ukraine for help with a political campaign. david, now those democrats want to know if he also thought there was a quid pro quo. >> cecilia vega starting another week at the white house. thank you, cecilia. and president trump tonight on syria, and now, it seems, the u.s. will keep some u.s. troops in syria, but he stressed today -- this was entirely different. and it comes amid those new images showing u.s. allies, the kurds, with signs for president trump, throwing potatoes at the convoy of u.s. troops as they left. 11,000 kurds lost their lives in the fight against isis, and tonight, the president saying we are not there to protect the kurds. abc's james longman reporting
from the region again tonight. >> reporter: u.s. troops leaving northern syria, their path blocked by desperate kurds holding signs. one reading, "thanks for u.s. people, but trump betrayed us." there was a time when kurds would celebrate american soldiers as heroes. not now. this departing convoy pelted with potatoes and screams, calling americans liars. the president unmoved. >> we never agreed to, you know, protect the kurds. we support with them for three and a half, four years. we never agreed to protect the kurds for the rest of their lives. >> reporter: in those four years, 11,000 kurds have died fighting isis. while the president has repeatedly insisted american soldiers would be coming home, when asked today about some u.s. troops remaining in syria -- >> that's a totally different section. that's a totally different mindset. so, we have a small group there and we secured the oil. other than that, there's no reason for it, in our opinion. >> reporter: reports say between 200 to 300 could go to eastern syria to protect those oil
interests. while others leaving syria will not be going home, they're now heading to iraq to monitor isis. >> james longman with us tonight live from northern iraq. the cease-fire deadline, james, we know is now less than 24 hours away. what are the indications on the ground there? does it appear this will hold? >> reporter: well, david, a kurdish commando told us tonight that he's wary of an intensification, because the two sides have very different ideas of how far into syria the kurds must retreat. tomorrow, president erdogan meets vladimir putin to discuss next steps. russia increasing its influence here as america backs off. david? >> james longman with us again tonight from iraq. thank you, james. now to the american airlines flight from london to philadelphia diverted to dublin after two crew members and a passenger suddenly fell ill. and you can hear the pilots radioing in. here's abc's gio benitez. >> reporter: tonight, dramatic audio from inside an american airlines flight moments after two crew members and a passenger were briefly incapacitated.
>> the cabin staff have actually lost consciousness. i think they're back to a state of consciousness now. >> reporter: a pilot, flying from london to philadelphia, radioing in from over the atlantic, saying a cleaning product containing ammonium chloride has spilled, the fumes too much for some. >> there are general complaints about burning eyes and other problems with mucus in the nose, skin problems. >> reporter: the flight, with 287 passengers and 12 crew members, diverting to dublin, ireland, because of that strong odor. when the plane landed, the three sickened were transported to the hospital. >> every airplane recirculates its air completely, every two minutes, so, the possibility of this affecting people nearby was quite low. >> reporter: and david, those crew members and that passenger have been released from the hospital, and that cleaning product that spilled, it had accidentally been left behind on the plane, causing all of that panic. david? >> all right, gio, thank you. and just a few hours earlier, another international flight headed for chicago was diverted to that same airport in dublin because of a cell phone that was found onboard that did
not belong to anyone. the air france flight from paris to chicago's o'hare landed at shannon airport, as well, as a precaution. the phone was turned over to authorities to be investigated. next tonight here, to that extraordinary look inside the lives of prince harry and duchess meghan. the royal couple and the exclusive interview about their struggle with the british tabloids. and prince harry is asked about a possible rift with his brother prince william and what he says. here's abc's maggie rulli tonight. >> reporter: tonight, duchess meghan sharing new details about those early days with prince harry, as she faced a new life in the spotlight. >> i was so happy, but my british friends said to me, i'm sure he's great, but you shouldn't do it, because the british tabloids will destroy your life. and i very naively, i'm american, we don't have that there. what are you talking about? that doesn't make any sense. i'm not in tabloids. i didn't get it. so, it's -- yeah. it's been complicated. >> reporter: in a new
documentary, the duchess opening up to itv's tom bradby during the couple's tour of africa. meghan describes how she's trying to handle such intense media scrutiny. >> i've said for a long time to h, that's what i call him, it's not enough to just survive something, right? like, that's not the point of life. you've got to thrive. you've got to feel happy, and i think i really tried to adopt this british sensibility of a stiff upper lip. but i think that what that does internally is probably really damaging and the biggest thing that i know is that i never thought that this would be easy but i thought it would be fair. >> reporter: the duchess revealing she is not okay. >> it's a very real thing to be going through behind the scenes. >> and the answer is -- would it
be fair to say not really okay, as in really being a struggle? >> yes. >> reporter: her husband, prince harry, opening up, too. candidly addressing rumors of a rift with his brother, prince william. >> stuff happens, but look, we're brothers. we'll always be brothers, and we're certainly on different paths at the moment, but i will always be there for him and as i know, he will always be there for me. i love him dearly and the majority of stuff is created out of nothing. but you know, as i said, as brothers, you know, you have good days, you have bad days. >> reporter: harry and meghan are going to take a break from their royal duties towards the end of this year for what the palace is calling some much-needed family time. david, it looks like they plan to bring baby archie to the u.s. for the very first time. david? >> all right, maggie, our thanks to you, tonight, as well. and the interview will air on an abc special, "harry and meghan: an african journey." it airs wednesday night, 10:00 p.m. eastern, right here. to other news now, and senator mitt romney has admitted he had a secret identity on twitter. the account in the name of pierre delecto, reportedly

[theme music] welcome to violent earth. i'm liev schreiber. 2023 set an all time record for weather and climate related disasters in the us. 28 events with losses over $1 billion. wildfires, hurricanes, and floods are more frequent than ever. the earth is changing. tonight, we delve into one of the most powerful natural hazards in the world, tornadoes. terrifying vortexes unleashed from thunderstorms that can cause unimaginable destruction. few examples of their power are more definitive than the 2011 twister that hit joplin, missouri. categorized as an ef5, the highest level possible, with maximum winds over 200 miles per hour, the tornado cut right through the center of the city. storm chaser: oh my gosh. oh my gosh. jim riek: late may is the bull's eye in the midwest for tornadoes. joplin was under a risk of a tornado, but not a great risk. storm chaser: that is a tornado, people. there was a complex of storms that came toward the city. oh my gosh. the tornado formed just outside of the joplin city limits. storm chaser: listen to it! jim riek: and then it just started racing into joplin. [indistinct shouting] all the alarms are going off on my computer, and here it comes. storm chaser: there! storm chaser: i see it. i see it. just straight through the heart of joplin, missouri. storm chaser: oh gosh, that is a monster tornado. i couldn't really see anything because it was obscured by rain. jim riek: it was rain rain. i think that's why so many people died. they did not realize that what they were seeing was the tornado. in this case, an ef5 tornado that is catastrophic. and by the time they did, it's too late. jeff piotrowski: as the tornado went by, everything was gone. it was like a bulldozer, and it leveled everything in its path. kat piotrowski: i just couldn't believe what i was seeing, the millions and millions of pieces of debris. jim riek: the tornado was on the ground for 32 minutes. storm chaser: the sirens are going. jim riek: it hits a convenience store on east 20th street. they had locked it just so the door wouldn't fling open. jim riek: listen to the audio. [screaming, rain pounding] jeff piotrowski: as the tornado entered the center part of the city, it hit the high school, and that's where the max damage occurred. jim riek: that surveillance video from the high school is no more than a hundred yards from amber munson's house. donna kerry: in 2011, amber was 40 years old. amber has always been amber, just always generous and kind and hospitable and just fun to be around. amber was home that afternoon. she wasn't aware that the tornado was coming. she didn't have her tv on and no indicators that it was gonna be that severe. i had spoken to her. she said, oh, it's just turned really dark here. and then she said, um, now the sirens are going off. and that's when i said, you know, go take the quilt off the top of your bed and get in your bathtub. i said, and then call me back. very few houses in joplin, particularly in the path of what turned out to be this tornado, had basements. so the best place to go is either a closet or in your bathtub. harold brooks: you wanna get as low as you can and put as many walls between you and the tornado as possible. storm chaser: oh gosh. i was concerned when she said the sirens were going off. i wouldn't even have imagined the magnitude of what was gonna come. jim riek: amber munson, probably 15 seconds before the tornado hit, realized just how bad it was going to be. and bang. the tornado hit. for tornadoes to form, you have to have a certain set of ingredients. first of all, you have to have moisture available for thunderstorms to develop. you have to have a source of lift or a trigger for those thunderstorms to get going. you have to have unstable air, which is temperatures that get colder with height and that allows the thunderstorm to rise and develop vertically. the most important ingredient is you have to have wind shear, which is changing of wind direction with height and also changing wind speeds with height. there's all sorts of different shapes tornadoes can take. we have a stovepipe, which is kind of like a straight up and down type tornado. we have obviously a cone. that makes sense. it's a cone shape. another one is the wedge, and that's usually the most intense. different tornadoes have different smells. when a tornado is going through a densely wooded area, you can smell the fresh cut wood, the fresh cut pine, whatever the tree is. paul markowski: the typical widths are anywhere from probably 25 to 50 yards across on the low end to, on the high end, a mile wide. tim marshall: the largest one i've ever seen was the el reno, oklahoma tornado, and that was over two miles wide. kim klockow mcclain: the joplin tornado became a mile wide wedge right on the edge of town. kat piotrowski: the tornado was massive. it was chewing up everything in its path. there was no mercy at all. er: breaking news here at cnn. joplin, missouri, suffering the devastation right now of a very powerful tornado. jim riek: amber lived in what i would call a very middle class area of joplin. jeff piotrowski: this beautiful, quaint subdivision, and now it's level. kat piotrowski: it was just total devastation. our phone rang, and it was her, and she was screaming, mother, my house is on top of me. that's when i said, amber, that's not funny, because we would always kid back and forth. and she said, no, mom, my house is on top of me. and then her phone went dead. so there's a lot of myths that have been passed down through the years. reporter: doors and windows on the north and east sides were open. trent okerson: whenever i was growing up, i heard you've got to open up the windows to equalize the air pressure. well, pressure is not what will cause damage to a home. it's wind getting up under the roof, blowing the roof off. another big misconception is if you're out in a vehicle, that an overpass is a great place to take shelter. that is not a good place to go. scientists have realized that being in that overpass creates a bit of a wind tunnel effect, that the wind is blowing through a smaller area so it can actually accelerate the wind speeds. so you're putting yourself in greater danger. kim klockow mcclain: there's a really popular misconception that mobile homes are like tornado attractors, and what's behind that is undoubtedly that people hear about mobile homes getting hit more because that's where people die. harold brooks: roughly half of the deaths in tornadoes occur in mobile and manufactured homes. they're much more vulnerable to a tornado and tend to turn into debris quicker. there are myths that tornadoes can't cross bodies of water. oh, tornadoes can't go through cities. jeff piotrowski: but there are no rules when it comes to tornadoes. they go where they wanna go. harold brooks: the deadliest tornado in us history is march 18, 1925, the tri-state tornado that went across southeastern missouri, southern illinois into southwestern indiana, and it killed 695 people over about a two and a half hour long period. generally, after the tri-state tornado, we see, like, a 10-fold decrease in the fatality rate from tornadoes as compared to 1925. we think there are a lot of things that could be going on behind that. there was the emergence of radio and people downstream could hear about it immediately. radar has had something to do with this, increases in our understanding of storms, and now the ability to push warnings to people on their cell phones. harold brooks: but the may 22, 2011 tornado at joplin, missouri, was the deadliest tornado in decades in the united states. being the seventh deadliest in us history. jim riek: on that day, it didn't matter what type of forecasting skills you had, what technology. the tornado won. [dramatic music] jeff piotrowski: everything basically was a three foot, four foot pile of debris everywhere as far as the eye could see. just debris everywhere. there's really nothing standing. donna kerry: in her immediate neighborhood, there were 16 people that perished. jim riek: jeff piotrowski sees a lady who is hysterical, has no idea what has happened to her. and that's amber munson. you could hear amber before you saw her, and that's what i remember more than anything is hearing her cries out. amber munson: can i use your phone? jeff piotrowski: what? kat piotrowski: and coming towards us. jeff piotrowski: yeah, all the phones are jammed. kat piotrowski: jeff jumped out of the car immediately and raced towards her. i'm ok. i'm ok. jeff piotrowski: come here. come here. hello? hello? how did she survive? amber munson: once the tornado sirens went off and the lights started flickering, i grabbed a pillow and a blanket and my phone and i jumped into the bathtub. i decided to roll over on my right side and i kind of got into a fetal position and covered myself up. but as the pressure started coming, the bath started bouncing. so it was very minor at first, not realizing that you're gonna get sucked out of your house. after the tornado hit, i remember hearing the glass shatter, but i don't remember flying in the tornado. amber munson went flying, ended up in someone else's yard. amber munson: when i woke up, i just remember being upside down, buried within the rubble. i knew i was alive, but i still questioned whether or not i was gonna survive because of the stuff that was falling on me. i think just wanting to survive kicked in for her. i kind of wiggled myself out so that i could get up, and that's when i got out of the hole. i had twisted my knee and i had a puncture wound in my back. but she's alive. it was a miracle. amber munson: the joplin tornado, having lived through it, made me realize that people don't take them serious enough. you see people that go stand on the front porch wanting to capture these things, not realizing how risky they really can be. storm chaser: oh, we got lightning. her uncle's unhappy. i'm sensing an underlying issue. it's t-mobile. it started when we tried to get him under a new plan. but they they unexpectedly unraveled their “price lock” guarantee. which has made him, a bit... unruly. you called yourself the “un-carrier”. you sing about “price lock” on those commercials. “the price lock, the price lock...” so, if you could change the price, change the name! it's not a lock, i know a lock. so how can we undo the damage? we could all unsubscribe and switch to xfinity. their connection is unreal. and we could all un-experience this whole session. okay, that's uncalled for. trent okerson: storm chasing has gotten extremely popular over the past couple of decades. storm chaser: get the best footage. harold brooks: people do it, in large part, for the thrill and for the excitement of seeing the event. storm chaser: tornado number one. tornado number two. the original tornado is still on the ground. tim marshall: once you get out there and you see a storm in the open plains and the amazing structure that it has, it's mesmerizing, and it can become even addicting. storm chaser: my goodness. that is a thing of beauty and violence. max olson: there's a side to it that's almost like a hunter, because you're trying to narrow down where in the country this relatively rare phenomenon is gonna take place. storm chaser: come on. tim marshall: now there are thousands of people who do this. there's even tour groups nowadays, and you can get in a van and go with a group of fellow enthusiasts and drive out onto the plains and see the majestic skies. allison chinchar: in the united states, we average more than 1,200 tornadoes per year. that is number one in the world by a long shot. the second closest is canada, which only gets 100 per year. you could actually add canada, australia, and all european countries combined, and we still see more than they do. tornadoes are most common in the midwest. max olson: we also have another area that's really prone to tornadoes in our southeastern states. harold brooks: the tornado season depends on where you are in the country. in the plains, tornado season is typically over a relatively short period of time in the springtime. in the southeastern united states, tornadoes are more likely to occur at any time of the year. tornadoes actually can and do strike all over the country. tim marshall: tornadoes have been known to be in every state of the us. they have been in the highest of mountains, beaches, and offshore. harold brooks: over the last 50 years, what we've seen has been an increase in the number of tornadoes in what we think of as the mid-south. it looks like it's associated with physical changes in the atmosphere, but we don't have a real underlying reason of why that's occurred. reporter: a rare sight in the skies over japan. a powerful twister ripping across the eastern part of the nation. tornadoes occur worldwide. jeff piotrowski: europe has tornadoes. south america has tornadoes. australia, japan. trent okerson: but the united states has a unique combination of geographical features that can lend itself to a lot of tornadoes. the gulf of mexico, that provides the very warm, humid air. then you also get cooler, drier air that's either coming down from canada or off the rockies. there's really no other place in the world that has the exact combination of ingredients like we do here in the united states. storm chaser: zoom in. storm chasing has definitely evolved into this kind of social media era. storm chaser: where are we? northeast nebraska? max olson: and people wanna be seen. they wanna be, you know, the chaser that everybody thinks of, doing the live streams, posts in front of a tornado and whatnot. trent okerson: storm chasing is a double edged sword. it's very valuable when it comes to learning more about the science behind storms, but it can also be dangerous if you're not 100% sure of what you're doing. the biggest danger of storm chasing has always been the driving. storm chaser: let's go back. we're going back. we're going back. you tend to judge where the tornado is going, but that doesn't always happen. there are so many people who chase now on some storms that traffic is actually a serious problem. when i'm chasing out in the plains, i'm apt to see dozens of other chasers. when i began storm chasing, there were no other chasers. tim marshall: david hoadley, whether he likes it or not, is the father of modern day storm chasing. max olson: david hoadley is the first person to truly go out and seek tornadoes, driving long distances, attempting to come up with some sort of formula to see tornadoes. he holds the record for the longest consecutive years of storm chasing. i've been storm chasing 66 years, and i've seen 265 tornadoes. i saw my first tornado in 1958. i think this is one of the things that appealed to me was the element of, really, mystery. what causes these storms? there was so much that was unknown. 2023, i saw david hoadley out chasing. the man's 85 years old. he's been doing it for most of his life, and he's still out there doing it every single year. david hoadley: it's not like spelunking or surfboarding. you can return to the ocean. you can climb the mountains again and again and again. but that one tornado, that one storm, once it's gone, it's out. it's history. to have a picture of it, have a video or anything else of it, is to say that i've captured something that will never happen again. tornadoes are most common 4:00 to 8:00 pm. because that's when the atmosphere is warmest, you get the sunshine, heats things up, creates the most instability. that instability is fuel for thunderstorms. mason lillard: may 22, normal sunday. we went fishing for a little bit and we were getting ready to take my cousin lage home. i was 10 and lage was 14, and my grandpa was like, hey, i need some wiring for my garage at home depot. i would say probably around 5:00, 5:15-ish, the sky's starting to get a little kind of weird looking. my grandpa went inside of home depot and my cousin, my grandma, and myself were all sitting in the truck. we heard the sirens go off, but we just ignored them like normal. and then all of a sudden it went from kind of dark to, like, midnight black, almost. we were trying to open up the doors of the truck and the winds were just going too fast. and then my cousin, he was like, whoa, the truck's tearing up. and then at that moment, the truck flipped on its side and got sucked into the vortex. we could kind of hear everything, like the hail hitting the truck and stuff. it felt terrifying to be in that tornado. you see, like, the wizard of oz, and it's almost like that. but in real life, it's loud and you don't know what's going on. lage was sucked out of the truck. i felt like i was slipping out of the truck. i was holding on to my grandma's hand, and then i felt the truck land, like, the tires bounce. and i was like, ok. i'm alive, at least. all i felt was, like, my ribs were broken. i realized that something was actually in me. most people are killed in tornadoes by flying debris. storm chaser: that's the most violent motion. kim klockow mcclain: tornadoes consist of anything the tornado brings into the air. so often a lot of dust and dirt and plants, branches. and then if it's a more violent tornado, that can include debris like planks of wood, shards of glass. mason lillard: i hear my grandma. lage, lage. and i was like, mama, i hear him. he was outside of the truck. it wasn't like a, i'm here, or i'm ok. it was moaning. storm chaser: oh, no. there are the lines. oh my god. oh my god. look at that. harold brooks: one of the things about a tornado is that it's producing a lot of small pieces of debris that are flying at, you know, 150 miles an hour. and even ordinary objects, dinner plates, two by fours, become really, really deadly at those kinds of high speeds. jim riek: i knew after joplin how destructive a tornado could be. it was moving so slowly that it was like a blender. everything on the ground was getting totally mixed together. and it just hits you again and again and again and again. i saw a piece of cardboard that actually penetrated into the exterior insulation finish system on a school. at the hospital, they had $1 million helicopter. all of the rotors are gone. if a rotor of a helicopter is flying by at 100 miles an hour, what is that going to do to a human body? paul markowski: how far the debris goes is going to depend on essentially how heavy it is. the heavier stuff gets centrifuged out, so big chunks of structures or automobiles. lighter debris, though, like a piece of paper, that won't get centrifuged out. that'll instead go up through the funnel, can end up reaching altitudes of 40, 50,000 feet, and there certainly testimonials out there, people finding pieces of paper or photographs 50 to 100 miles from their origin in the wake of a tornado. mason lillard: we thought it was only, like, 20 minutes before help arrived. it ended up almost being two hours. jim riek: when the paramedics came, they spotted lage first because he's outside. they carried lage out on a two by four, and they brought him to the ambulance, and the paramedic jumped out and said he's not gonna make it. the other ones were trying to cut me out. i had a one inch piece of angle iron go through my right shoulder, break seven ribs, puncture my lower lung, and come out my back. a fourth inch away from my spine and a fourth inch away from my liver. they ended up having to use an electric saw. it felt like 5,000 bees stinging me at one time. and i had arrived sitting on the stretcher, sitting up. once they took my cousin to the hospital, they black tagged him and put him in the morgue. left him for death. a nurse came in and she touched his arm and he let out a horrifying scream, and she grabbed a doctor, said, i think we can save him. two hours later, he was in the or. after the tornado, i had 13 surgeries in total over the course of three years. lage was on the ventilator for at least two weeks. he has a brace on his leg and he can't really use his right arm. but he did survive. the may 22, 2011 tornado killed 158 people directly, and there were three indirect deaths. we did not know that we could experience tornadoes this deadly in modern times. harold brooks: nighttime tornadoes are more dangerous than the same tornado in the daytime, for a lot of reasons. we ascribe this to the fact that people are just less aware at night. [ominous music] i was chasing that day. what was that? oh, i think i see it. i start to see the shape of the tornado come into view. i know this is a significant tornado. oh, wow. that is huge. holy [bleep] ok. ok. ok. we got it. and then i just see the tornado, an absolute beast marching off to the northeast. ah, man, it's moving towards populated area now. it was headed from one small community to another small community, and we knew, based on where this was going, if you draw a line, it's coming right to mayfield. the mayfield event was moving at the upper end of tornado speeds, 60, 65 miles an hour. this was something that is very high end. harold brooks: speed certainly can play an impact on how dangerous a tornado is. a faster tornado is gonna give you less time to react. the speed at which the tornado is going to move along is going to roughly match the speed that the parent thunderstorm's moving along. in some cases, we've seen storms move as fast as 60, 70, 80 miles per hour because they're embedded in very strong winds. allison chinchar: there is one example of a man in illinois back in 2013. he's filming a tornado that is off in the distance, but he quickly realizes it's actually headed right towards him and his home. man: all right. i got to go. i'm coming, honey. woman: [screams] man: aw, man. woman: oh my god! allison chinchar: about 45 seconds later, he gets the look at the scope of the damage that's been done to his house. man: oh my god. our house is freaking destroyed. kim klockow mcclain: the survivors i've spoken with, they just experience what feels like a building dissolving. one minute i was in a building and the next minute i just wasn't. like a bomb has hit it. it's obliterated. [ominous music] derek vaughan: so at its maximum intensity, the peak winds were up to 190 miles per hour. that's enough to just destroy anything in its path. nothing can stand up to that. you knew people were gonna lose their lives that night. once the tornado approached mayfield, it came in from the southwest side of town. derek vaughan: i had a few officers on shift with me that night. we had decided that we were gonna go ahead and meet at the police department. the services all started going down suddenly. the power in the entire town went off. and of course, when that happened, we knew that it was probably about to hit. i remember officer simpson went to the front window and he just yelled, there's debris coming in. and as i watched him turn and run towards us, the whole front of the building just exploded inward on us. you almost couldn't even tell which way it was up, there was much wind and debris. it was almost like being underwater. trent okerson: mayfield water and electric, their facility was just on the edge of the worst damage path. even there, you saw the massive amounts of debris that was blowing, pieces of wood flying through the air like missiles, and they weren't even directly in the core of that tornado. one of the buildings that was close to the police department that got hit real hard was the f&b bank right there on the court square. and all of a sudden, boom. the tornado hits. it's that fast. trent okerson: the candle factory is a major employer in mayfield. this was right before christmas, and a lot of people that were working extra hours trying to do overtime, and their facility was packed that friday night. autumn kirks: i was working at mcp, the candle factory, that night. me and joe did work together at the factory. usually they try not to put couples together, but for some reason, we've always made it work. he was so goofy. he'd do anything to put a smile on anybody's face. kim klockow mcclain: the night of the storm, the couple were sheltering together when the tornado hit the candle factory. i didn't hear a single thing at all. all i heard was people talking. and then all of a sudden someone said, take cover. brad copeland: the best way i can describe it would be a war zone. i remember thinking the amount of force that could have caused that, you know, how could anybody survive what i was looking at. autumn kirks: joe and i were 10 feet from each other when it first hit. trent okerson: kyanna parsons was an employee there at the candle factory, and kyanna goes on facebook live that night to try to get help from the outside. storm chaser: there's two of them. in 2011, we saw one of those generational tornado outbreaks that doesn't happen in our country but every couple decades. storm chaser: oh, dude, that looks wild. storm chaser: oh, it's right there. that's that tornado right there. storm chaser: [bleep] harold brooks: april 27, there end up being a number of storms that produce tornadoes from central mississippi eastward through alabama. and many of those storms produced multiple tornadoes. just in the state of alabama there were 62 tornadoes that hit that day. seems that every hour that passes today, the news out of the south just gets worse. kim klockow mcclain: after the alabama outbreak, there was kind of a renaissance in our field because we hadn't experienced an event that deeply catastrophic in so long. there were hundreds of fatalities, and we hadn't lost that many people in a tornado outbreak since 1974. storm chaser: oh my god. harold brooks: one of the silver linings of the april 27 outbreak was an understanding that we need to do a whole lot more work on social science with respect to forecasting. i describe myself as a tornado epidemiologist. it's really someone who tries to understand the circumstances that lead someone to be injured or die from something. what are the factors that explain fatalities, and what kinds of interventions can we design, whether in our communication system or structurally in our communities, to help mitigate that threat? among the things studied was the amount of time given to warn the public about tornadoes. a tornado warning is issued when a storm is either actively producing a tornado or it looks really likely to. and we're starting to explore what is the right amount of lead time to give people. what they figured out was there is such a thing as too much lead time. if you give people too much time, say, it's going to be 20 minutes before the tornado arrives, many people will look out their window and see that it's still blue skies. the storm hasn't gotten there yet, and either they think they have more time than they do or they think the storm isn't really going to hit them. so there is such a thing as too much lead time. also what they're studying is how people react to the warning they're given. kim klockow mcclain: fear is a really challenging component of this entire equation. there has been no example i've seen that is clearer of this fear effect than what happened in oklahoma in 2013. on may 20, we had the tornado that went through oklahoma city and moore and killed 24 people, including several children at a school. and after that, we had just days and days of storms and everyone was just on edge. and when may 31, 2013, a two mile wide tornado hit el reno just west of oklahoma city, we saw spontaneous mass evacuation ahead of that tornado. highways were clogged for over 30 miles. they found out because of fear, people actually did the opposite of what they're supposed to do. they fled their homes. they fled their businesses, places that normally would have been safe. when that happens in mass, that becomes very dangerous. you end up getting stuck in traffic as a tornado hits. reporter: and we're still waiting to hear word on what happened to the 110 people who were inside this candle factory. derek vaughan: once we were able to get down there and assist, i saw that this whole building was just gone. so one of the things that you'll notice if you see kyanna's facebook video was how resilient she was and her efforts to stay positive. kyanna parsons: i was under the rubble approximately about three hours. i see one of the rescue people, and i'm crying. i'm like, please don't leave me. he says, no, no, no, we're not gonna leave you. a trooper that was at the top grabbed my arm and he pulled. and so got out, and every step i made, there was someone grabbing my hand, someone grabbing my hand, and just there for me. autumn kirks: it felt like a wall on top of me and the three girls next to me. and i don't know who it was, but somebody came and lifted it up and got us all out. the minute i actually got out, i fell to my knees and just broke because i had no idea where joe was. i wanted to go back and look for him. i was told i was not allowed. it hit friday night, and at 9:30 monday morning his mom called me. she's like, autumn, they found him. i'm like-- and i had hope for all of two seconds. she's like, autumn, he didn't make it. i wish i could go back to not knowing because there was hope that, hey, they might still find him. i just-- i pray that nobody else has to go through this. trent okerson: we have so much technology, we have the ability to control so much in our lives these days. you still can't control mother nature. you can't control a tornado. you can't control what it does. and no matter how prepared you may be, you're still at the mercy of what these storms decide to do. autumn kirks: i have a very healthy respect for mother nature and tornadoes and what they can do. it can ruin your entire life. it can destroy everything you know. in 2011, after the joplin tornado, amber munson had lost her house, most of her possessions,
wind damage would be the biggest issue. washington, d.c., just some stronger storms will pass north of you. how incredibly sad. a grandmother, a mom and two children in the house. a huge tree and a tornado hit. >> a tree falling is my worst nightmare. anything to do? >> i always tell people when we have hurricanes, you look at your property. know the direction the wind is blowing so that way you go away from the tree it could fall. but a tornado they twist. >> they had no heads up. >> there was no warning. there was no watch. very sad. >> worst fear. bill karins, thank you very much. that's going to do it for me today. "deadline: white house" starts right now. hi, everyone. it's 4:00 in new york. the choice facing our country in just a few short months has

hello? how did she survive? amber munson: once the tornado sirens went off and the lights started flickering, i grabbed a pillow and a blanket and my phone and i jumped into the bathtub. i decided to roll over on my right side and i kind of got into a fetal position and covered myself up. but as the pressure started coming, the bath started bouncing. so it was very minor at first, not realizing that you're gonna get sucked out of your house. after the tornado hit, i remember hearing the glass shatter, but i don't remember flying in the tornado. amber munson went flying, ended up in someone else's yard. amber munson: when i woke up, i just remember being upside down, buried within the rubble. i knew i was alive, but i still questioned whether or not i was gonna survive because of the stuff
very few houses in joplin, particularly in the path of what turned out to be this tornado, had basements. so the best place to go is either a closet or in your bathtub. harold brooks: you wanna get as low as you can and put as many walls between you and the tornado as possible. storm chaser: oh gosh. i was concerned when she said the sirens were going off. i wouldn't even have imagined the magnitude of what was gonna come. jim riek: amber munson, probably 15 seconds before the tornado hit, realized just how bad it was going to be. and bang. the tornado hit. for tornadoes to form, you have to have

the israelis are telling blinken about their plans to try to get hamas to release more hostages. >> also people from new mexico to maine are bracing for a storm with potentially dangerous tornados. a possible large and dangerous tornado hit near panama city, florida about 90 minutes ago. and in the midwest, up to a foot of snow could fall and winds up to 70-mile-per-hour could create overnight conditions. waves hit the coast. the rain could trigger flash flooding. stay with us.
