The sun has come back out. Actually the conditions on the ground seem to be getting worse by the hour. A lot of roads like this are becoming rivers. Weve seen crawfish, snakes with their heads above the water and a strong current. You can see cars completely under water or just the tops, the roofs coming out of the water. These tornadoes though have not been as deadly as predicted. They were expected to be extremely violent. As of tuesday morning, zero casualties from the tornadoes themselves. Thats because people were making quick decisions to save their lives like this woman. So i told my son and granddaughter to get in the bathroom. We pulled the mattress in there. We heard boom, boom, boom. It probably lasted maybe 30, 40 seconds. We opened up the front door and i had a pine tree in my front door. So a lot of people like her had plans. Theyre experienced. They go through this every may. The work of the First Responders has been tremendous. Weve seen local Fire Departments out pulling off a lot of water rescues. Often using high water trucks and roons. Many of the people they rescued have been elderly, people screaming for help inside their houses either a tree crushed part of the house or surrounded by water. The water rescues taking place late this morning after a tough night for people in oklahoma. Back to you. Neil thank you. Steve harrigan. Adam klotz was warning us about this saying this could be serious. Its lived up to that, adam. What are we looking at now . The system is still on the move. Yesterday leading into this morning, by the time its counted up, likely 30 tornadoes. Were tracking this line of storms moving off to the east. Now tornado watches in arkansas, stretching to southern missouri, this entire line of storms is going to be a problem. Probably wont make another 20 or 30 tornadoes but its going to continue to bring strong winds and heavy rains that will end up flooding. Widespread 48 inches of rain in oklahoma, kansas. That as a result becoming a real issue with flooding. Across a huge area. Tracking this system further to the north, well be talking about flooding across illinois. This ground has been absolutely saturated all spring because of rounds of heavy rain and snow further north. This wont help. Were looking at a slow mover dropping more rain. Heres the future radar. Theres the time stamp. If youre in front of this, Pay Attention. It will be strong winds and possibly hail. Isolated tornado or two overnight, shifting into illinois, michigan by tomorrow morning. All areas to Pay Attention to. This system has weakened. Isolated tornadoes. Still talking about damaging winds up to 60 miles an hour. Large hail and the flooding issue that weve been saying. That is something that is going to linger today and tomorrow morning also. Neil thank you, adam. A lot of people, most people, would be running from tornadoes. My next guest runs at them. This is storm chaser aaron. Im here in nebraska, a tornado on the ground here right now. I believe northeast of mccook. Neil pretty close to that thing. Heres aaron. You youre a risk taker to put it mildly. That looked pretty close. Yeah, it was close. Probably looks closer than it was. Probably about a quarter mile, half mile away. I tried to get closer and got stuck in the mud and couldnt get in further. There was a farmers house there. Neil why do you do it . Passion, number 1. I couldnt go out there days after day and chase them across the country and spend hours and thousands of miles a week chasing after the storms. I have a passion for storms and weather. I love being in it and experiencing it ultimately i like to document it as well. Part of the documentation is giving the warnings out to the public. I use twitter to get the alerts out. Maybe people will see the warning and get out of the way of the storms. Also, the National Weather service also watches twitter for the reports. Neil anything different in these tornados . Were told theyre more severe, hang around awhile. Cover a wider radius. I dont know what the trust is here. Anything distinct about these latest ones . Tornadoes dont get as big as 12 miles. The biggest are about 2 1 2 miles. The supercells, they can cover counties and they can be 40, 50 miles wide. The tornado itself cover as smaller area. The storms, i dont think the storms are getting any worse than they were in the past. They may be more frequent. I think we see the same strength of storms. The tornadoes are just like the tornadoes they were several years ago. Ive not seen anything different with tornadoes right now. Neil so when they get the ground, the 12 miles, the area that they cover once they do hit. That is wide. I dont know how true that is. But what is the process . What do you say . It could come at you, for example. But what do you see . A lot of times most people, when youre looking at a storm, you think youre looking at the clouds. The deck of the clouds. Look for the funnel to come down. You should be watching for that. Ultimately tornadoes, they show themselves on the ground. A swirling dust swirl. Some people mistake it for smoke and they dont know what theyre looking for. You look for the swirl on the ground. The way the storms form, you have wind coming from multiple direction theres. The rear flank downdraft that comes wrapping back behind the storm and brings cold, dry air and that meet warm moist air. They swirl there. Thats how you get the tornado to start forming and the rotation in the clouds and the atmosphere is usually horizontal. The updraft from that supercell bends that rolling down to the ground and forms the tornado. Neil scary stuff. Youre not scared. Thanks, aaron. Good seeing you. No problem. Neil be safe. As aaron touched, weve seen more than 50 tornadoes touching down in oklahoma, texas. So is that normal . Joe bastardi is with me on that. What do you think . Its a rare year. Since 2011, an unbelievable season back then. Most of the years are at or below normal. This particular year were above normal. What is interesting about this, in the preseason looking at it, so much warms predicted by computer modelling across the United States with the exception of arizona and west texas that it had the signature on the models of another low year. I predicted average to below normal. What has happened is and what is fascinating, seems like the long range modelling cant detect cold air anymore. So you look at models that say we have climate models that go out two or three months. Its warm all over the place. In this particular case, the last four or five or six months have been brutal from southern canada into the central and northern plains. Meantime, its warm in the southeast. That is the classic setup. Cold versus warm. So its winding up being a bigger than average year. One thing i will say, neil, is the amount of water in the ground. People wonder yelled only 26 tornadoes. Had a high risk. It may be that the amount of water in the ground may be capping the temperature just a bit. So were seeing more heavy rain events, getting rid of the imbalance of the atmosphere through heavy rain, hail, high winds rather than the why spread tornadic activity. I thought yesterday and today have an over and under of 60, 70 tornadoes and were well under that right now. That is fortunate. Neil is that a preview of coming attractions . What we can sort of play out, will happen next . Well, the core of the tornado season is like were at the height of the Hurricane Season right now. Core of the tornado season is late may and then starts to diminish after that. Looking at the overall pattern though, still going to be a lot of chilly air relative to averages across the central part of the United States. Nothing is going to budge that southeast key way thats going on. Theres going to be above normal overall the next couple weeks or so. By the way, this current feature is weakening. Look out thursday. It comes across the great lakes, slides east southeast and wouldnt be surprising in new york, pennsylvania, western new england if we saw some tornadic activity thursday. Neil well watch closely, joe. Thanks for your expertise. Joe bastardi of weather bell. An item just came in.

We had a good conversation from the house and the senate. They would like more conversation and like us to be more communicative with the american public. We agreed to do more of that. Today i walked them through what the department of defense has been doing since may 3 when we received credible intelligence about threats to our interests in the middle east and to american forces. How we acted on that credible intelligence. That intelligence is borne out in attacks and also deterred attacks. Weve deterred attacks based on reposturing of attacks against american forces. The biggest focus at this point is to prevent iranian miss calculation. We do not want the situation to escalate. This is about deterrence, not about war. This is about continuing to protect our interests in the middle east and conducting our missions. Will you speak directly to iran . Theres plenty of ways to have communication. Im confident in that. Thank you. Neil that was short and sweet. That is patrick shanahan, secretary of state mike pompeo briefing reporters on what they briefed senators. Earlier in the day in the house of the representatives about the intelligence that they have that supports the briefed up forces in the middle east. We hope to get a sense of whether the administration succeeded in justifying this upped ante in the region. We want to get you updated on subpoenas. Theres more going out. Chairman jerry nadler issuing subpoenas now for annie donnellson, the former white house chief counsel has also been subpoenaed to testify and also hope hicks, the former White House Communications director. Catherine herridge is on top of these fastmoving developments. A lot of subpoenas, catherine. Good afternoon. The hearing was short and dramatic with an empty seat for don mcgahn. Jerry nadler said there will be consequences for reviewing the next steps, including going to court and fighting the administration on the executive privilege claim. Let me be clear, this committee will hear mr. Mcgahns testimony even if we have to go to court to secure it. We will not allow the president to prevent the American People from hearing from this witness. The white house had already instructed don mcgahn not to provide records to the Congressional Committee based on the argument that the white house cooperated with the special counsel, allowing mcgahn to speak freely about his conversations with the president to special counsel investigators and providing more than a million records. The committees ranking republican called out democrats, accusing nadler and others of putting speed and head lights ahead of serious negotiations with the white house for mcgahn. The chairman issued a subpoena. He rushed to it. It was the third in four months. More subpoenas than the prior chairman issued in six years. Collins accused the democrats of kicking the can down the road on testimony from special counsel robert mueller. The negotiations continue. Collins says his colleagues dont want to hear from the messenger. More on the subpoenas that were issued in the last few minutes, neil, for annie donnellson and hope hicks. Annie donnellson is like the note taker in chief when it comes to the special counsel investigation. She was the one that documented the interactions between then White House Counsel Don Mcgahn and the president over these allegations of obstruction. So her notes are really part of the record, the backbone of the special counsel report. Hope hicks had a ringside seat as the White House Communications adviser and a direct adviser to the president on all of these issues related to russia, neil. Neil thanks, catherine. Hart to keep track of the subpoenas. Judge Andrew Napolitano has a running count. What do you think . I think theres 80 subpoenas out now. Im not just talking about the judiciary committees. A lot of this is going to be resolved by a court. The argument that was made by the Justice Department yesterday as to why the president doesnt want don mcgahn to testify is an interesting one. He dont invoke executive privilege. His lawyers have understood by letting don mcgahn to speak to the fbi and testify before a grand jury, the president waived executive privilege. So they have immunity. The argument is this. Congress cant subpoena the president. They cant subpoena the president s inner circle and make anyone in the inner circle reveal their thoughts. Thats not the same as executive privilege. The question is will it last. The last time the courts looked at this, the president lost and it was harriet meyers. The same situation. Former white House Counsel, now in private practice. She was white House Counsel for george w. Bush. After many, many months of the skirmishing, the court issued a wellrespected report that says she has to testify. They negotiated and she testified. If i would have lawyers, i would have told him to go there today. Im here. I respect this body and i respect this subpoena. But i have a client, a former client, not the president , the presidency. That client says i shouldnt testify. So you want me to testify, go to court. Doyle whatever the court says. Neil he wouldnt be saying anything. Unless the court tells him to. Neil going for the theater of saying it shows respect for the body that issued the subpoena. The courts like to see that kind of respect. Congress is a co equal with the presidency and the judiciary. When you show respect for that Authority Even if you dont do respect, you show them respect, you get a leg up. Neil let me ask about where this goes. Seems that the president or the so they stop each and every one. Is that the strategy . I think thats the case. It depends on the proceeding. Example, if the house of representatives begins formal impeachment proceedings, which takes months to get going, that will narrow the president s executive privilege and expand the number of people who will have to testify and have to produce documents. When the house is in impeachment mode and the target of the impeachment is the president , he cant impede that. We know that from the nixon and clinton experiences. Neil amazing. Thank god youre here to keep track of this. What a mess. A lot more coming up on this. Socialism is on the rise. There is that after this. Sir, youre a broker.
