We also know across the field a barn was damaged, three homes and an apartment complex. These are the first images of a huge tornado in addition he owe that touched down near magazine numb, oklahoma. And in crescent, oklahoma these two tornadoes were on the ground just about a mile apart. These storms follow a day of Severe Weather with powerful gusts of wind and rain pummeling the southern plains.

So far there are no injuries reported in this area but oklahoma is not out of the woods yet. We understand there are more storms coming through this area overnight and flooding could be a major issue. Major . Garrett Mireya Villarreal in oklahoma. Weather caster lonnie quinn of wcbs is here with more on the dangerous storms lonnie . Major, it will be an eventful night out there. You heard David Begnaud say you have to be on alert throughout the nighttime hours. Texas, oklahoma right now, but arkansas tonight, you could very well be in the midst, as well. Its a 5 out of 5. This area shaded in pink. Again, this is rarely issued. The last time was may 18, 2017. Whats different today . Well, whats different is all three categories that we look at are showing a big conflict in air masses. So first look at dry and moist air. Normally, major, there would be a little gap here between the dry air and moist air. Not today. You go from dry to moist within a few miles. Now look at temperatures. 53 in albuquerque. 86 in dallas. That big temperature differential stays true through the nighttime hours. The risk remains. There finally, look at winds. Look at the black arrows. Thats your surface wind coming in from the south. All these fastmoving white arrows, thats the jet stream going every which way. So a speed differential and a directional differential, that creates twists in the atmosphere. Rain is another element not getting enough attention. It could be 4 to 6 inches. There could be flooding. 6 to 8 even a possibility. Tomorrow its more st. Louis, maybe kansas city. Well keep an eye on everything for that. Garrett lonnie, thank you so very much. Missouri governor mike parson is expected this week to sign a law banning most abortions after the eighth week of pregnancy. This is part of a new wave of laws that have sparked protests and are meant to force a Supreme Court showdown on abortion rights. President trump has signaled he believes the republicanled effort may have gone too far. Here is ed okeefe. I feel strongly about it, and all of that is working its way through courts. Reporter President Trump today addressed the issue of abortion on his way to a Campaign Event in pennsylvania. Once a supporter of abortion rights i am prochoice in every respect. Reporter . Mr. Trump tweeted over the weekend he strongly supports restricting abortion with exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of a mother. That puts him at odds with conservatives pushing for measures like alabamas new strict antiabortion rights law. The states republican governor defended the bill today. States republican governor defended the bill today. It it underscores the sanctity of life that the people of alabama value so highly. Reporter supporters say they agree with him about alabamas law. Him about alabamas law. I didnt agree with that. Thoinst a little bit too far for me. I agree with trump. Insist, reporter eight states so far this year have passed laws limiting abortion rights. Alabamas goes the furthest, while five other states pass so called heartbeat bills that ban abortions after six to eight weeks of pregnancy. Nationally, most voters believe abortion should be available. And the issue has become a central focus of democratic president ial campaigns. Make no mistake about it, these laws are dangerous. They are regressive. This is nothing short of an allout assault on womens reproductive freedom. Reporter tomorrow various abortion Rights Groups are planning what they call a national of action. Ralle d to bd outside the s. And iehing lirnia to indiana and florida. Major . Garrett ed okeefe, great to see you. Thanks for being here.

And iran remain high after a rocket possibly fired by an iranian backed militia landed near the u. S. Embassy in baghdad last night. As this conflict plays out, iraq finds itself in the middle. More now from Roxana Saberi, the only American Network correspondent in bhd. Good to see you again. Reporter iraqs president barham salih fears his country will be dragged into another war. In a situation of conflict, god help us all. Reporter iraq hosts more than 5,000 u. S. Troops and depends on local militias, many backed by iran, for its security. The Trump Administration says u. S. Intelligence shows some of those armed groups are preparing to turn their guns on american forces. Those concerns intensified last night when a rocket landed near the u. S. Embassy in baghdad. Were driving just across the river from the u. S. Embassy. Its in a highly secure area that is closed off to cameras. Thats why were pointing it out to you from the car. Its surrounded by walls and checkpoints, but if you have a rocket launcher, its an easy target. From everything we know, it could be the act of a rogue group. Reporter president salih says secretary of state mike pompeo raised concerns about rogue groups aligned with iran earlier this month. Why do you think then that america ordered a partial evacuation of its embassy . I think that was, how shall i say, we were not happy with that. We thought it was unwarranted. Reporter as the power struggle between tehran and washington heats up, the big winner could be their mutual enemy, isis. We should start a conversation to diffuse these tensions and to talk about the real issues combating extremism, eradicating isis, accomplishing the mission. Reporter so this could be a distraction . Of course. No doubt about it. Reporter today a leader of an iranianbacked militia here in iraq released a statement calling on iraqis to Work Together to prevent a conflict. Major, he went on to say, if war breaks out, it will burn everyone. Garrett Roxana Saberi in baghdad, thank you. Tonight President Trump is considering pardons for several americans accused of war crimes. David mart is at tentan. Reporter Navy Seal Edward Gallagher is accused of stabbing to death a wounded and unarmed prisoner during bitter 2017 fighting in iraq. President trump has already ordered him released from the brig, into what he called in a tweet less restrictive confinement. Now it appears he may pardon him, which former marine and now georgetown law professor gary solis says would be a first. I know of no instance where the executive has granted a pardon, pretrial, for military criminality that involves a pending case of murder. Reporter in another murder case, which has yet to go to trial, Army Green BeretMatthew Goldstein is accused of killing an unarmed afghan man, an act which he admitted to on fox news. Did you kill the taliban bombmaker . Yes. Reporter goldstein said he did it because the afghan was a bombmaker who could not be allowed to walk away free. My husband took care of an enemy combatant who did harm and who was planning to do more harm. Reporter the case of marine sniper team caught on video urinating on the corpses of taliban fighters has already been through the military justice system, but the existence of such damning evidence does not affect a pardon. Pardons are not necessarily based upon the clarity of the evidence. They are simply granted as a matter of grace, and they may be granted irrespective of the guilt. Reporter the wheels of justice turn slowly, and the process of collecting the paperwork on these cases only began last friday. The pardon system will have to set a speed record if all this is to be done in time for memorial day. Major . Garrett david martin at the pentagon, thank you.
