damage, stay out of their way and stay home and watch cnn, and stay home. and so there are three areas that were hit hard, downtown area hit hard with apartment buildings, and home depot where ceiling beams were turned into twisted piles of metal, and the third is this, what was once a walmart and now little bit more than a field of debris. look at this part of the store accessible which is the parking lot. watch this with me. >> this car upside down. windows shattered. totally demolished. this pickup truck destroyed. it is one car after another. the amount of devastation here, and here comes this vehicle. i want you to see this. you don't see this -- it is just incredible to take this in and see what is happening here. >> just car after car after car like that. and this is the joplin neighborhood, and look at the car here, because the grandmother who owns it came this close to being in that car's driver's seat when the tornado hit sunday. this is her granddaughter speaking. >> she is lucky to be alive right now. >> reporter: she was just getting ready to leave and get in the car and take off? >> yes, she was scared and got scared to walk out of the door when the lady told her not to go outside and she wanted to get home before the storm hit, and a lady grabbed her and told her no. >> story after story, and t.j. holmes is live in joplin, and i know that joplin was your first of the job, and i want to ask you what it is like coming home in a sense, and i have been watching you all day today and set the scene for me, and it is more active now for the storms returning this evening? >> it is very active right now. you know what, go ahead and go around, maddog, because she is asking how active it is right now. and this is how active it is. you are seeing a lot of vehicles and traffic coming by and a couple of guys in atvs and these folks are taking care of themselves right now. yes, the federal government will come and get that money and assistance, but we are seeing the family members and people who have come in to hep families from all over the state, and i have talked to strangers, brooke, who said, we just drove over. where should we drop this stuff off? you might hear the noise and we are hearing chainsaws and hammer, and they are getting the lives together, but at the same time i know that you have covered the tornados as well, but i cannot ever figure out how nature does what it does. if you look to the left here, there is a piece of a roof of some house around here that is inside of a car. >> look at that! >> and how the roof got into the car, i mean, you just, it leaves you to wonder how in the world can nature do this? but it does it. that's -- it is these escene s don't get old, because they are the same every storm, but somehow they are different. half of the house is gone, and would you belief that a family survived in there. and not just that, but another family ran to the neighbor's house to get help and banged on the door and nobody would answer, because they had taken cover. that other family survived the tornado going right over them while they sat down and crouched in front of the front door. go figure, brooke. >> well, it is one of the things having covered things like this, but it is one thing then, t.j., to be in the thick of it covering it, and then in the midst of living the reality, but you have lived there in joplin, t.j. we have been looking at the twitter feed, and of what was your old building and here is the link and the picture, and it is gone. how long ago did you live there and how emotionally to go back to remembering what once was? >> well, you know, the university of arkansas is about 60 miles down the road fromp joplin, and this is my first job out of college. i came here right out of college and first job in journalism, and that is the first place i have lived. i have helped the crew around saying we need to go here and there and know where some of the things were, but they were asking me, where is your apartment complex and get a sense of where we were, and i have no idea. we were sitting right next to the apartment complex, and i could not tell it was there, and we had to have a police officer say, yes, 20th and connecticut and that is when i knew. i am not the only one, because i have been reporting saying that so much stuff i used to know is now unrecognizable and a guy told me today, he said, man, i have lived here 22 years and today i got lost in town, because all of the markers that let me know where i am in town are gone. >> are gone. are gone. and i can't imagine finding your way around and in stories like these, i am amazed by the folks in the neighborhood asking you if you would like some lemonade, because they are so generous. thank you. >> you got it. >> and sunday, the tornado spared nothing in the path. jacqui jeras is outside of what was a catholic church, and it is amazing the stories there. the priest sought refuge in the bathtub of the rectmy and pulled out. . >> it is so hard, brooke, because one wall is standing and everything else is rubble. you cannot make out a pew really inside of that building, and you know, notice the cross. that is what is still standing. it is providing a lot of hope for people around town. if you can pan off to the left, you can see that everything is levelled in the area. you can see the hospital and the cross. and the community here says that they are a faith-based community and seeing that cross still standing is a sign of hope that they will recover. now, we are also hearing the stories about survival, and you mentioned how the priest here is a pastor and his name is father justin monaghan who has been here for 15 years helping the community, and this time they had to help him out. when the tornado approached he did what he has always heard to do for safety and that is to get himself to the bathroom. >> i decided to wait until the end of the noise, and then i opened that door, and everything was black. it was all covered. >> and father monaghan says he had to stay in the bathtub for 50 minutes or so with rain pouring down on top of him. he said when the parishioners got there to rescue him, they could not find him because he was covered in the rubble. he had to take a piece of wood and stick it up in the air so they could find him, and they spent time clearing it off to get him out of there safely. he does not have a scratch on his body. and now the people who come here to church to pray, are showing up to try to save anything they can out of the churchf. >> talk about a time when the faith is truly tested. jacqui, before i let you go, so we can juxtapose the images. this is a before of the church, and so this is the before picture on the left-hand side and you see the cross and the beautiful blue sky, and the right side is the aftermath and the devastation, and it is amazing, jacqui, because you have covered the stories where the people come together and pull through. >> they do, and one note of amazement is believe it or not, this church has been hit by a tornado before in the late '80s when the front of the church sustained damage. and that cross that was built in the '40s is still standing today. >> wow. from the '40s. and coming up, jessica alba pregnant with child two wants to make children safe from chemicals. what is her fellow warning for moms and dads?

where? >> things could spin inside of the box to be tornadic storms and that is oklahoma and kansas. the sun is out and heated up the atmosphere, and we heard, well, the sun was out here in joplin and so nice. and i am thinking, that is what you don't want. you don't want sun when there is a potential for the severe weather, because it is warmerb and wants to bubble more. the storms can be more severe. and it has not been sunny oklahoma city, which is good news. that has limited some of to heat, but the western part of oklahoma, well, it is going now and going gang busters. this storm right here weatherford, clinton, and that thing is 70,000 feet in 30 minutes. it would have been amazing to watch that storm go up in the air. here is another watch box here in yellow, and it should be red, but whatever. there is wichita, and dodge city and the big cell rotating adds well. every cell you see today could rotate at any point in times and rotating storms can put down the tornadoes with little or no warning. i assume that all of these storms will get warning on them. the potential for ef-3 and ef-4 and elusive or impossible ef-5 is possible today because of the high risk and the humidity in the air, and because of the storm out of the southwest, and it is cold air aloft and warm here and the cold air just kind of wants to hold it down a while, and then the heat breaks through and itp pops up and the storms are crazy into the sky, and the storm chasers are on them and we will keep you advised as much as we can, and i suspect that we will see 20 to 50 tornados today, and a lot. but where they are is if they are in unpopulated areas great. if one runs over, and one big storm sunday night, and it hit joplin, missouri. if we get one storm to hit a populated area, we are scrambling crews again and people are in danger. >> come back over here, chad, because this is the one final over arching question, because we had the tornados in alabama and now this recent one, and people are asking this question, what is going on? why is this happening? >> well, there is a trough in the jet stream. it is to the east and the southeast of denver, colorado. it comes up and turns to the right. that is a low pressure. when low pressure is like that, it makes storms. the storms follow the trough and follow the track and that storm track has not changed for months. >> okay. so there is some sort of scientific basis for all of this. >> yes, when we have hours we can talk about this, because we are going to be talking about this all day. introducing purifyingounc] facial cleanser from neutrogena® naturals. developed with dermatologists... it's clinically proven to remove 99% of dirt and toxins and purify pores. and with natural willowbark it contains no dyes, parabens or harsh sulfates. dirt and toxins do a vanishing act and my skin feels pure and healthy.

[ no audio ] [ no audio ] imagine waking up and that is your reality? the destruction, but we wanted to share the silence with you. this is shot by one of our i-reporters james redmond there in joplin, and i will speak to him in a couple of minutes about the video, because this is a snippet of the nine minutes he sent into cnn. i want to bring in josh marsh who hosts a morning radio show there in joplin. and josh, i know that your station, i know that you are going wall-to-wall over this story, and i know that you are being called the glue holding joplin together right now. if you can, walk me through the past 48 hours there in town, and tell me what kinds of calls have you been getting? >> well, the truth is that we have been wall to wall live coverage since 4:00 yesterday afternoon. we tracked the tornado in lebet county, kansas, and then everything went dark and we went on backup generators and just like the rest of joplin we were in the dark like the rest of everybody. and then the cell towers went down and nobody could send text messages or receive calls, and everybody was isolated. that is when we offered a special type of programming to open up to take calls and be a hub so we tried to connect people who tried to connect with loved ones. that is what we are doing still at this hour. >> how successful have you been, josh? from this hour, it is 1,500 people still unaccounted for and people taken from hospital to hospital, and you can't keep up with it all, and do you have success stories that you can share, i hope? >> oh, absloutly. it started right at the beginning. we had a massive twister, as many of you know, and one story i this of is when we first got on the air and started to take phone calls and up with woman called in and said, i'm pregnant with twins. i don't know where my husband was, and he was working at the timef of the tornado, and so, she came to us, and asked us, can you help us find lindy? and so it was a matter of moments and the resiliency of the city of joplin, and said that lindy is okay, and she called back crying in tears that she was thankful. we have had success offering that service. and do you know where this person is or that person? there is no communication, and these people have no way of reaching each other and we have try fied to become the avenue o hope. >> yes, josh, we were sitting around the editorial meeting wondering how are they keeping track of the people unaccounted for and how to connect people a to b and what a crucial and invaluable role you are playing. have you slept since this hit on sunday? >> well, i was able to get a little bit of sleep, but it pretty much, i was on the air at 4:00 sunday afternoon, and it was around 10:00 monday morning that i was able to lay down for a few hours and got up to tour the storm damage and went back to being on air and trying to connect people. that is what we have realized here at the kzrg, it is more important than ourselves and sleep and this is the one service we can offer, and hearing the families reunited, it is worth it, worth it all. >> and josh, what about if you can be asked about your own personal situation, if you have family? your own home? is your situation stable? okay? >> well, i was extremely fortunate. as you will see some neighborhoods hit and other missed? my home was not hit. at my station, two of my employees, their homes, one is gone and the other damaged, and so for so many people, they came in toe r report and no homes whatsoever and people in the hospital, so i was fortunate and blessed in that aspect and made me more determined to help the people i could, and i can't say more about the employees there at the radio, because even without a home and people in the hospital, they are working tirelessly. we refuse to leave anyone alone in the dark. >> amazing, josh. we as members of the community salute you for all you are doing. the final question is tauklkingo chad myers here about the threat of more severe weather. and are people concerned about what could come? >> well, we actually already had one round of severe weather, and it seemed like a slap in the face and the cruel irony to give updates while you are giving severe thunderstorm warnings, and yes, people are concerned, because as you look at the buildings and the devastation, some of those are on a knife's edge of falling down completely, and a big concern for workers trying to dig through the rubble that it could complicate the shish issues and certainly not helpful to find those who may still be alive. >> thank you for taking a moment away from helping the community and sleep that you could be getting to talk to me from kzrg in joplin, missouri. thank you. >> thank you. and coming up next, hosni mubarak may be out of power, but he is not out of trouble. why the former egyptian leader could be executed by the government. and in iran, you will face consequences, and new pressure is applied today. we will get you brak ack to tornado aftermath, but first a couple of stories. hosni mubarak will face trial after the uprising that drove him from power in february. if he is convicted, he could be executed. prosecutors say he ordered police officers to use live ammunition when they fired into crowds of protesters and he is accused of corruption. his two sons are also charged and will go on trial as well. wreckage of that helicopter that, stealth helicopter used in the deadly raid on osama bin laden is now back in the united states. we are getting that word this afternoon from the pentagon. remember all of the navy s.e.a.l.s and the s.e.a.l. team six had to leave one of the choppers behind in pakistan after the coupe operation. and before they abandoned it, they did try to destroy it so no one could get their hands on the top-secret technology, but the tail section and some other pieces of the debris were not fully dedestroyed. and the u.s. slapping sanctions on seven companies found to be working with iran in the energy sector. they are from monaco, and singapore, and even an israeli oil company, and they say they get cash from companies they work with to fund their own nuclear program. they say it gives the u.s. morleyway wawa wawa waway -- m those working with iran to develop their nuclear power. and now, what do the newly questioneded duke and duchess of cambridge have to say. and we will give you live pictures of the state banquet with the president and the royal family. stay tuned for that. building up our wireless network all across america. we're adding new cell sites... increasing network capacity, and investing billions of dollars to improve your wireless network experience. from a single phone call to the most advanced data download, we're covering more people in more places than ever before in an effort to give you the best network possible. at&t. rethink possible. if you think even the best bed can only lie there... ask me what it's like when my tempur-pedic moves. talk to someone who owns an adjustable version of the most highly recommended bed in america. ask me about my tempur advanced ergo. ask me about having all the right moves. these are real tempur advanced ergo owners. find one for yourself. try your friends on facebook. see what they have to say unedited. ask me what it's like to get a massage any time you want. tempur-pedic brand owners are more satisfied than owners of any traditional mattress brand. ask me why i'm glad i didn't wait until i'm too old to enjoy this. start asking real owners. ask me how to make your first move. take advantage of our 4 years special financing. visit tempurpedic.com for full details on our 4 years special financing. don't wait-offer ends soon. visit tempurpedic.com now. tempurpedic, the most highly recommended bed in america. i want to shift gears for a moment and talk about a big speech today by israel's prime m
