The sudden wealth that came to williston, north carolina. Prostitution. Right here at walmart . Uhhuh. And defying gravity. The incredible talent of Brittney Greiner. Everybody was acting like it was just a freak. How she rose above the bullies to be a ballplayer no one could keep down. Good evening. Thanks for joining us. Im joie chen. We begin with the deadly tornados that have devastated already three different states. Twisters spawned late sunday and continued to pose a serious threat. 30 tornados were reported in seven states between sunday night and monday, the hardist hit state is arkansas where at least 14 people were killed including 10 from one town. One person was killed in oklahoma, another in iowa. More twisters are possible now. And earlier in the day, five tornados tore through mississippi. This is video of the twister as it roared through the town of tupelo. It also downed trees, power lines and tossed several tractor trailers in the air. Remarkably there are no reports of injury. Joining us from tupelo is robert thornton. What did you see . Before the storm hit we left my office next door, and as we were sitting in the lobby of the marriott, we watched as the wind picked up, there was an 18wheeler delivery truck that turned over on its side as the wind came. All of the windows started blowing out of the lobby. It must have been a crazy scene, chaosic. It was. Once the windowed starting breaking, we got further down in the hallway of the hotel and road it out there. Afterwards there was definitely damage all around us. Thanks very much. We appreciate you joining us, and were glad you all are safe. Thank you. Residents of some of the towns hit heaviest on sunday have begun to return home to look at the damage and prepare for what may come next. We lived right there. Thats the back porch, but the double is gone. What was lost in just moments, everything, but the hope. All of our our memories inside are gone, and well have to find them, hopefully. Battering a community with high winds, the storm barrels through may flower, arkansas just outside of little rock. The vicious twister even more ground. Luckily we had enough warning that we could get down in our hiding hole, and we were sitting down there and it came right over the top of us, came out to find total destruction. On the day after there were mixed reports about the number dead. But the governor said search victims. All we want to do is just be here to help. Help is badly needed. Medical teams found themselves quickly overwhelmed. Very rapidly we started getting a lot of patients with a variety of injuries all at once. I myself had five seriously injured trauma patients that were solely under my care. And the search for precious memories have already begun. Our jewelry. Well be finding this stuff for days and days and days. Jay grey joins us now from mayflower, arkansas. And that is quite a scene. Yeah, joey, overwhelming. You can see there is not much left here and debris stacked up. Believe it or not there were employees, three of them in this facility when the storms moved in. They rushed to this area, opened this door and ran down the stairs into the basement. They all thankfully survived when they got back out, though, they saw very little left of this building. Splintered wood, shattered glass, and this area, Faulkner County in arkansas probably the hardest hit. There is also concern about the forecast. More Severe Weather could be on the way. In fact over the next several day there is a chance of tornados in an area that stretches from louisiana all the way to ohio. As they mourn here, they must also keep an eye on the sky right now, joie to see what if anything may come next. I look around you and i know the Weather Service has told us there is a big storm about a half mile wide and it is stuck on the ground for an extended period of time. You can see the evidence of that as well . Yeah, no question about it. You know this was a massive tomorrow and one that did stay on the ground for quite sometime. And the damage it did, again, just overwhelming. And this is a scenario playing out across at least seven states right now, and theres the possibility it could happen again, and so thats what is most frightening, especially for the survivors who are trying to rum age through this debris, and find anything before the storm, but knowing there is danger that more Severe Weather could be on the way. Thanks very much. John ward joins us now from mayflower. Mr. Ward, i understand this is or was what is left of your business. There . Yeah, we had a tornado come in about 7 30 last night. It actually hit a small town just south of us, and unfortunately hit us now you had quite a big business here . Yes, we have an rfid dealership here. And how many vehicles did you have on the lot . 60vs and probably another 15 customer rvs here for service, and then we had roughly 30 cars, automobiles that were here also. How much is left . Theres nothing left. Its absolutely a total loss. Were you im so sorry. Were you there when this happened . Were you at the lot . I was not at the lot, fortunately. I was at home, so i was i was safe we did have we did have three people that stay on the lot here, one in a mobile home that actually works he works for us with his wife, they were in the mobile home, and we have another gentlemen that does our security, and we was in an rv staying on the backside of our lot. Fortunately both of those groups of people were able to get in our basement and it acted like a storm shelter for them. Im so sorry this has hand but we appreciate you talking us to. And i do have to note your flag is still flying over your lot there. Thank you very much. We appreciate you. Throughout the weekend there were warnings and the potential for powerful tornadoing moving in. Dr. Brooks you are just soupt of oklahoma of course city. This is a season that got off to a slow start in tornado terms. Its quite possibly the slowest start that we have had in almost a century. But as we have seen today even a single event can be deadly. Yeah, and what caused the slow start and why it heated up so sud inially. The big thing was we were cold in part of the United States and warm in overparts of the United States. And with the pattern of the warm in the west and cool in the east, it really accentuated that. Now we have a dip in the jet stream, and so the conditions that we expect to see that are favorable for tornados are now in place. So are you anticipating we are going to have a busy season . We really cant tell will happen for the rest of the season. There are years like 1987 and 2006 that really never got a tornado season going at all. We know while today is probably going to be the most active day, tomorrow there is still going to be a threat in the southeastern United States. Dr. Harold brooks, appreciate you being with us.

I dont want to say dead, but i will say probably dying. Reporter the sign says it all. Over the past five years williston major has seen his town come back from the brink of death. The race to exact the black golds from the parries of north dakota is evident everywhere. Pumps dot nearly every farmers field.

Reporter what seems almost inevitable if you have this many dudes. Yeah there is a lot of testosterone flowing. Reporter yeah. Many times what happens is they will either come with the police or a friend might bring them in, as long as we can keep them safe until they can find a place of their own. Thats what we like to do. Reporter before the boom the Williston Family Crisis Center filled up 11 days a year. Now the shelter has met capacity for two years straight. Reporter how much has Domestic Violence increased since the boom . I would say quadrupled. Its really crazy. Why . They get here. They can find jobs but no housing.

If a girl shows any sign of wanting to exit, there will be you know, theres consequences for that. Reporter north dakota officials admit that women and children are being caught up in trafficking. But only one fbi agent is assigned to the problem. Im going to trust that in time with raising awareness and Law Enforcement doing their part, that well be able to offer help. Reporter so where are we headed now. Down to the strip clubs. Were holding a selfdefense for the girls. And i want to remind them that the class is tomorrow. Reporter until reinforcements arrive, she continues her mission to protect the victims of north dakota oil boom.
