Were starting to see a lot of the videos now coming into us of those damaging tornadoes. Yeah, take a look at some of the damage were seeing. Cars overturned, roofs ripped off homes, and there is major flooding from these storms. Lets turn to al with what we can expect. Oklahoma city got 7. 1 inches, more than double their record last night, and its not done yet. This is going to be a multiday event going right on into the weekend. Lets show you what weve got going on right now. Again, tornadoes, up to 50 tornado reports from nebraska, kansas, on into oklahoma. And we saw these tornadoes moving across at a very alarming rate. At some point these tornadoes had multiple vortices within them. Multiple funnels of suction causing major damage. Thankfully nobody killed but 12 injured, 2 of them critically in an rv park somewhere right outside of Oklahoma City. We continue to track this. The damage major. And in fact, Oklahoma Citys airport, the will rogers airport, was shut down. People had to be actually evacuated. Jay gray was able to get there because he was able to drive in. And jay, it looks like what you see behind you is some major devastation. Reporter good morning, al. I want to give you a firsthand look at some of that devastation. Take a look behind me. Believe it or not, there were people inside when the storm hit. Miraculously, they all survived here. It was the winds that caused the problems here. Other places, it was the water. In some cases, more than seven inches. Overnight, dangerous storms unleashed a string of tornadoes in and around Oklahoma City. Sirens warning hundreds of thousands to take cover as the violent system delivered tennis ballsized hail and tornadoes. Several touching down throughout the night. That thing just started spinning. Reporter kfor reporter mark dillard found himself in the middle of one. Ive got trees coming down on me and power flashes. Ive got to back out of here. Ive got trees coming down on me. Back it out, mike. Back it out. Reporter some of the twisters believed to be f3s with winds in excess of 158 miles an hour ravaged homes, blew off roofs and knocked down walls. Southeast of Oklahoma City what was once a Storage Facility is now gone. And for the first time ever, a flash flood emergency was declared for Oklahoma City as torrential rains caused widespread catastrophic flooding. Homes and businesses swallowed by the water. Motorists left stranded. Then amid the nights chaos, there was this. Residents in tuttle, oklahoma, told to stay inside after the tiger safari exhibit was hit by one of the twisters. There are wild animals on the loose right now. Thats all we needed, wasnt it, flooding, tornadoes and now wild exotic animals on the loose. Reporter now, all of the animals were recovered quickly. The cleanup, the recovery here is going to take a bit longer. Al . Yeah, jay. And in fact, we spoke with the police chief in Oklahoma City. There are more water rescues going on right now. Jay gray in Oklahoma City, thank you so much. And this is going to be an ongoing event. Right now this is looking at the live radar. You can see heavy thunderstorms south of oklahoma along i35. And weve got this dry line. Thats where that dry air gets sucked into this and makes it even more potent. So for today, weve got the risk of strong storms stretching from wichita, pueblo, colorado, down to dallas. It goes into tonight. Kansas city, wichita, Oklahoma City, austin. 9 Million People at risk. Wind gusts of 60 miles per hour. Isolated tornadoes. Friday, weve got an enhanced risk from central oklahoma, Oklahoma City again included, down to del rio, texas. And this is very unusual.

Not only just with damage from tornadoes but with the rains, we could see massive flooding as well. So this is going to be a very dangerous event to track. Well spend a lot of time with you this morning. Al, thanks very much. Meanwhile, deflategate is trending in a big way. A muchanticipated report finding its more probable than not that new England Patriots staffers took air out of footballs in the afc championship game and that tom brady knew something about the practice. Nbc National CorrespondentPeter Alexanders been on this story since the start. Peter, good morning. Yeah, three months later were still talking about this. No word yet from tom brady but his dad came to his defense speaking to usa today, dismissing this investigation as framegate, not deflategate. So heres your lengthy wells report. 243 pages in all. Compare that to the ray rice Domestic Violence report, just 96 pages. It felt like a thud in new england. The fallout and reaction landing squarely on the shoulders of new englands number 12. Now hes going to be looked at as a quarterback whos cheated, which has helped him achieve his glory. Reporter tom brady is in the nfls crosshairs. The league must decide whether to fine or suspend the reigning super bowl mvp. Brady defended his record to me when deflategate first broke before the super bowl. I feel like ive always played within the rules. I would never do anything to break the rules. I believe in fair play and i respect the league. Reporter but the independent report concludes it was more probable than not that brady was at least generally aware that Team Personnel were deflating footballs before a critical playoff game. The wells report singles out two longtime members of the patriots locker room staff and some of the most telling evidence is a trail of Text Messages between those two locker room attendants. One of them calling himself the deflator. Over the course of months, there were complaints about a demanding brady. Tom is acting crazy about balls, ready to vomit and heavy implications footballs were deflated in exchange for bribes. I have a big needle for you this week. Better be surrounded by cash and new kicks. I think this hurts his image in the short term, but in the long term, i think people are going to still think of tom brady as tom brady the mvp of super bowls and americas quarterback. So while it seems like a big deal now, its still were talking about football. And deflating footballs. Reporter missing from the report, complete texts from bradys phone. According to the report, he refused to turn over call, text or email records to investigators. While brady was a noshow at the white house back in april when even the president joked about deflategate i usually tell a bunch of jokes at these events, but with the patriots in town, i was worried that 11 out of 12 of them would fall flat. Reporter this week bradys been his usual highprofile self, trackside at the Kentucky Derby and ringside at the Mayweather Pacquiao fight on the same day. Hes been silenced so far on the report, but brady did also say this about deflategate back in january. This isnt isis. This isnt, you know, no ones dying. Reporter the rest of the patriots including coach Bill Belichick and owner robert kraft all cleared in this report. When the story first broke, kraft demanded an apology from the league if the investigation turned up no proof his team did anything wrong. On wednesday he reiterated his disappointment in how the investigation was conducted but said the patriots will accept the reports findings and take the appropriate actions Going Forward. All right. Thank you, peter. Meantime, weve got peter king here. He covers the nfl for football night in america and sported illustrated. Hes as plugged into this league as anybody. Good morning to you. Everyones faulting the report for saying more likely than not, using wishywashy legal terms. Does the nfl have the evidence or not . Its a good question. I think they used 23 quivocating terms in a 129page document. I think one of the things the nfl has to look at is how positive are they . Because they are messing with the reputation of one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. And they have to be absolutely sure, when they penalize him, when they sanction him, that they have the goods on him. Well, thats why theyre in such a tricky position here because they commissioned this report. This is the standard of proof for the league to say if theres a violation, is it more probable than not, they found that it is. Right. Now the request he is how do you discipline him . Right. I think if Roger Goodell and his assistant, troy vincent, executive Vice President of the nfl, find incontrovertible proof in their eyes that brady had something to do with it, that they will sanction him harshly. That is going to be the big question because i dont think we know yet what Roger Goodell thinks, and hes the man holding the cards right now. That suggests you think theres more investigation to be done. I mean, isnt this report supposed to be the final word on it . It is supposed to be the final word, but, you know, the last time this happened when the new Orleans Saints had a report done on them, sean payton, the coach of the saints, went into Roger Goodells office and basically kind of threw himself on the mercy of the court. It didnt work, but again, thats why im not positive that its over right now. When you look at this generally, when you look at the pats super bowl victory they went on to win after all of this, do you think it has a different meaning for a lot of fans . For a lot of fans it will because the patriots are like the yankees, the old cowboys, the team that america loves to hate. And i think that is one of the things that people take great delight in the kingpin getting toppled. And thats why i think people take great delight this morning in looking at tom brady and saying that hey, look. He should get whats coming to him. Needless to say, its being viewed a little differently in boston. Peter king, good to have you. Thanks. So what do you think . Were posing that question on today. Com. Should the patriots keep their 2015 super bowl title . Head to our website to weigh in. Well have results a little later. How about this exchange between the two guys at the center, jim mcnally and john jastrem jastremski. Talked to him last night. He actually brought you up last night. You must have a lot of stress trying to get them done. Brady says he doesnt even know who these guys were. But there were Text Messages. A connection between one of the gunmen who opened fire at that controversial event in texas and isis sympathizers is becoming clear this morning. Our Pete Williams has been talking to investigators. Pete, whats the latest on this . Matt, good morning. A Congressional Committee today hears from experts on this alarming rise in direct terrorist recruiting through social media, just the kind of thing the fbi says was behind the plot to attack the gathering in texas dealing with the prophet muhammad. Reporter in the wake of the plot by two phoenix men to shoot up the texas meeting, isis sympathizers and recruiters have suggested more is coming. You aint seen nothing yet tweets a british isis convert. I smell Something Big coming soon. As investigators look for exactly what prompted the two gunmen, Elton Simpson and nadir sufi, they say simpson was deeply immersed in jihadi twitter accounts including some that called before attacking the event. Two weeks before, it carried the risk of being targeted. Federal Officials Say more than 5,000 people are following the kind of radical twitter accounts that Elton Simpson did. But how to tell which followers are truly dangerous . This is a very difficult task for law enforcement. There are a lot of people who say a lot of things on twitter, and most of them dont carry out terrorist strikes. Reporter people who knew the other gunman, nadir sufi, say he showed no signs of violence, helping out at a nonprofit for the homeless. He was very gentle with the clients that he worked with. He helped them with their computer systems. He was just a really nice person. The fbi says this latest plot dramatically shows how powerfully isis and other terror groups have exploited social media, taking calls for violence directly to people already receptive to the message.
