Minnesota, which is a city about 100 miles southwest of minneapolis st. Paul. Meanwhile, more tornadoes are expected to strike in the midwest. Tonight we begin our coverage with chad myers. And chad, where is the biggest threat right now, as these pictures start to come in. The storms look so severe. Really close to shakopee in the eden prairie, minnesota. Even though 35 to 40 minutes away, the storm is still a very stout storm. And erin, what we dont like about this storm that its all by itself. We would love to see a big line of weather with all these storms fighting each other for power. But this is the powerful storm, and it is still moving up towards the northeast at about 30 to 35 miles per hour. So shakopee, eden prairie here, you would be the first suburbs to witness this. And maybe even toward bloomington as it moves up toward minneapolis. Whether you get a tornado with this storm or not, minneapolis st. Paul, you are going to see wind. Youre going see hail damage probably with this. Get the cars, the pets, the kids inside. You have about 30 minutes to prepare. But this storm has been on and off the ground many hours now, all the way this is the one you were talking about, way down near st. James top, ground, off the ground, up and down, up and down all afternoon, erin. All right, chad, thank you very much. Tim pourington is a storm chaser. He is on the phone tracking this dangerous line of storms live. Where is this storm going . The super cell that chad was talking about is moving into the metro now. We werent able to keep up with it any longer. Its moving pretty fast. It did drop two tornadoes down by the st. James area. Were currently watching new supercells form to off to our west about 45 miles. And were waiting for those now. How serious do you think theyll be . Well, its a pretty dynamic system. So the one that dropped by st. James, it tightened up pretty quick and it spawned a tornado rapidly. So these are very dynamic storms, and they can drop a tornado at any time. And when you say drop a tornado at any time, and you heard chad talking about the size of the funnels, how we talk about the speed, the ef range, the scale that we measure these on. What are you looking at . These are pretty small. Im putting ef0 to ef1 range, and brief. Theyre not on the ground very long. One to five minutes at most. The ones that we tracked earlier today, you know. Well see with these ones that are coming up from the southwest. All right. Thank you very much, tim. We appreciate your time. And now to our other top story tonight. The breaking news we now know how Many Americans are in nigeria to help find the missing girls there. Approximately 50 to 60 Interagency Team members on the ground. And a team of seven u. S. Military personnel from u. S. Africa command are scheduled to arrive in nigeria tomorrow. This is a rising brutal terror threat. And right now there is a desperate attempt the stop it. Were talking about boko haram. The New York Times read today abduction of girls, an act not even al qaeda can condone. Tonight more than 200 girls are still missing. Thousands of people slaughtered this year, hundreds just this week. Bodies are burned, throats solicislit. And were talking about civilians. Nigerias president today said the end of boko is near. I believe that the kidnap of these girls will be the beginning of end of terror in nigeria. Many, though, believe boko haram is just getting started. For whatever reason, the secretary of state and the state department did not declare them a Foreign Terrorist Organization until about six months ago. So we lost valuable time and a number of years. And for life of me i cannot understand why. That was time that didnt have to be lost. The administration was warned about the grave threat of boko haram two years ago by this man, the former commander of all American Forces and operations in africa, general carter hamm. He is going to be our guest in one minute. First, i want to go to the capital of nigeria, abuja, where vlad duthiers has been talking to sources on the ground. Chad, what do they think is happening to those girls tonight . This group of course known for its horrific brutality. Absolutely, erin. The group of parents weve been speaking to fear their daughters may be sold as sex slaves. They fear that their children may end up pregnant or even forced into marrying their captors. As you say, boko haram a vicious group. Just this past monday, they attack a marketplace. Classic boko haram modus operandi. They came dressed in Army Fatigues wielding rpgs as they mowed down residents and shop owners. Several tried to flee into their shops. These militants burned people alive whilst they were in their shops. The president of the World Economic forum says he beliefs the abduction of these girls is the beginning of the end of terror in nigeria. Thats what he said. But for a lot of people, it seems as if the government and the military has been unable to control boko haram. They seem to attack at will with impunity at any moment, at any time. And so a lot of people are saying that in fact what may be ending is the nigerian governments fog when it comes to dealing with this issue. Because this has been going on since 2009, erin. All right, vlad, thank you very much. As he points out, happening since 2009. Now what is happening to those kidnapped girls right now . And just how evil, this is the word so many use for boko haram, is that group . Well we spoke to one man who survived being a boko haram hostage. Father vandenbush served as a priest on the border. He knew the evil of boko haram. Translator a large number of families that we had welcomed, they killed the parents in front of the children. And then one night they came for him. During the night, ten men with guns came on motor bikes to get me. They broke the doors. Reporter boko harams brutal violence includes burning people alive in mosques and churches and slitting the throats of students. Translator they had disdain in their eyes, especially on the women. Reporter even among extremist groups, their tactics are vile. Could describe it as the taliban that have taken it to the next level, maybe a taliban on steroids. Reporter father vandenbeusch spent seven weeks as a hostage. His parishioners were sure he would never return. He fought to keep his dignity. Translator to continue to be a man, you have to worship. You to eat the can of food they bring you in the morning. And i would divide it into three meals. Reporter boko militants led by the charismatic abubakar shekau. Nigerians describe him to me as a psychopath. He is a relative unknown, only in charge since 2009 when Nigerian Security forces killed the groups founder, mohammed yusuf. The question tonight, is one mans responsible for bokos increased exposure, or it is something much bigger . A warning experts say the United States needs to take seriously. There is no talking logic to them there is no negotiating with them. This is an absolutely horrible beyond definition horrible organization that clearly needs to go away completely. And we have to facilitate their departure. Father vandenbeusch was one of the lucky ones. He was actually sent home as part of a hostage swap. Joining me now the former commander of Africa Command, the man who oversaw all of africas actions on the continent. General, great to have you with us. The priest obviously survived this. But how dangerous is this Group Boko Haram . Obviously, youre very familiar with them. Well, erin, they certainly present a very, very significant risk in nigeria, more broadly across the region. And the leaders of boko haram have been very clear over the past couple of years that they aspire to attacking westerners and specifically the United States and its people and its interests. I dont think they yet have the capability to strike significantly in the homeland, but the fact that they want to do that is worrisome. And obviously now there is now all these direct flights between nigeria and the United States there is a lot of ties between the countries. Do you think they need to be stopped now that the United States needs to somehow become more involved more actively to stop them from striking . I do think we should continue our actives and increase our activities to help the nigerians deal with boko haram. And i think thats an important concept. Because this is first and foremost a nigerian challenge. They obviously require some help, and i think its very encouraging that they have asked for the International Community for some help. But we should not forget that this is the nigerian governments responsibility. Right. Of course, until something more significant would happen obviously. But here is what the president and the former secretary of state Hillary Clinton have said about boko haram just in the past couple days. Boko haram has been one of the worst regional or local terrorist organizations in the world. The seizure of these young women by this radical extremist Group Boko Haram is abominable. Its criminal. Its an act of terrorism. And it really merits the fullest response possible. All things you agree with, because you actually said this yourself about almost two years exactly to the day. Here is you in june of 2012. Most notably, i would say that the linkages between al qaeda and the lands of the islamic maghreb and boko haram are probably the most worrisome in terms of the indications we have that they are likely sharing funds, training, and explosive materials which can be quite dangerous. Those that was two years ago. You were the man in charge. You were saying those things. Yet it took until john kerry was secretary of state in december for the United States to designate boko haram a terrorist organization. Why did it take so long . Well, there is lots of factors that go into designation. There was a broad discussion across the government, the Africa Command and the department of defense was one component of that. But i think that it was just you got overruled . Well, i think the fundamental concern at the time was does boko haram present a threat to the United States. And that was the gist of the conversation. I think its much clearer now that boko haram is has gained strength. They certainly present a greater threat now than they did before. And lets talk about where they operate. Were looking here the sambisa forest, which is where they have refuge right now. In terms of the size of people hear forest, they think its some regional thing. I have three states of new jersey. That the size of this forest. And i read nigerian descriptions today, its an evil forest. Its full of all sorts of poisonous snakes. Its not a very hospitable place. What do you know about where they are . Its an extraordinarily remote part of the country in the far northeastern portion of nigeria, close to the border with cameroon, and not far from lake chad. Right. About 600 miles or maybe even more from the capital of abuja. And erin, the infrastructure is so poor that its exceedingly difficult for the government or for anyone else to get resources in to the area. Thats why one of the reasons boko haram acts with impunity. So they have refuge there, and obviously nigerian sources have been telling me for about a week they think the girls were broken up into smaller groups, some in chad, some in cameroon. Do you think all the girls are still alive . Well, we dont really know. But certainly as long as there is hope that they are, then i think the effort has to continue. And i am, again, personally im really happy to see the United States at the request of the nigerians offering assistance. Theyve been very clear, though, no special forces. Lives could be at risk. You could lose american lives if you were to go into that forest and try to find this group. Do you think that thats the right decision, or should the United States end up putting special forces commandos on the ground . First and foremost, again, we should remember this is nigerias responsibility. We should seek to help them in ways that they want to be helped. My sense is on the military side, probably intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, Logistical Support is probably the are probably the capabilities that would help the nigerians the most. And its also important to remember that there is a much more than the u. S. Military. This is a whole of government. So the fbi is there and many others who have expertise in this area to provide advice to the nigerians. And again, as i do agree with you, i believe that more than likely that several of the girls have been moved across the borders. So this will require cameroon, chad, niger, and i think the African Union and its Regional Economic communities to Work Together on a regional basis to address this problem. All right, general ham, thank you very much. Outfront next, Donald Sterling caught on tape again. He had another conversation. Were going to play it. Plus, breaking news. The home of former tennis pro james blake intentionally set on fire, four people dead inside. And were just learning at this moment some new information about how they died.

The sterlings are not about to go down without a fight. Donald sterlings wife shelly telling cnn she owns 50 of the clippers, so back off, world. She is adamant there is no way the nba is going to strip her of her share after her husbands rant was caught on tape. Tonight another secret conversation. Its incredible this man would have another conversation about this issue. But he did. Radar online was able to obtain it. Here is Donald Sterling. You think im a racist . You think i have anything in the world but love for everybody . You dont think that. You know im not a racist. I grew up in east l. A. East l. A. , you die to get out of there. I got out of east l. A. I was the president of the high school there. I mean, and im a jew. And 50 of the people there were black and 40 were hispanic. All right. Jason carroll is out front now along with don lemon a psychotherapist robi ludwig. You have been reviewing all of the tape today. What else have you heard . Its really incredible considering he has been caught on tape once. You would think he would be very mindful who he was talking to. We should be clear we have not identified the person he was talking to, only that this is a longtime friend. Who decided to roll tape . Who decided to roll well, someone did. Someone did. But we should also mention he made mention of Magic Johnson. You remember in the original audio recording that was released, he was critical of v. Stiviano, saying how dare you post a picture of a black man, even if it was Magic Johnson, on your instagram account. So listen to what he also had to say than today. That was interesting. It breaks my heart that Magic Johnson, you know, a guy that i respect so much wouldnt stand up and say well, lets get the facts. Lets get him and talk to him. Nobody tried. Nobody. Actually that. Did try. We tried. We did try. Shortly after that original recording came out and said he would not attend any clippers games so long as sterling was still there. So Magic Johnson did weigh. In. There is no remorse. Im so upset that Magic Johnson, a guy i admire and respect now has these feelings about me and my words are wrong or im sorry that i said that about how about that instead of Magic Johnson didnt stand up for me or try to call me. Its bizarre. He has made himself a victim shirks the victim. Right. And i think what we need to know here is that Donald Sterling is not the only person who has these ideas. When any one person speaks out, there is other people in a group who feel the same way. And people justify it because they make exceptions. So it is in some ways we dont like to think about it, but natural to stereotype, which can lead to prestigious, because we need to categorize people. And so people make themselves good by saying well im good to black people. I hire black people. I pay them a nice salary. I say nice things. Don, do you buy any of it, he sounds so perplexed and truly shocked. Im a jew. And i went to high school with blacks and hispanics. 60 years ago. Im not racist. That he cant be racist because do you buy that he believes he isnt a racist . I think he believers he isnt a racist. But that doesnt mean that youre not a racist. Thats right. I wrote a
