TO CHECK BACK IN WITH YOU A LITTLE BIT LATER AS WELL. >> THE GOOD THING IN NORWALK ZACH REPORTING NO INJURIES. OF COURSE WE JUST LEARNED THAT'S NOT THE CASE IN WINTER SETS WHERE WE LEARNED OF 6 FATALITIES, 4 INJURIES AS WELL. WE WANT TO GO BACK TO ROGER RILEY WHO WAS THERE WHEN THE STORM HIT. ROGER, YOU CAPTURED SOME PRETTY INCREDIBLE VIDEO. BUT OF COURSE NOW LEARNING THAT ALONG WITH THAT INCREDIBLE VIDEO. THERE WAS SO MUCH DAMAGE AND LOSS OF LIFE. >> YEAH, IT'S IT'S KIND OF A AND I WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT THAT THAT THE UNITE BOTH COVERED TORNADOES IN IOWA FOR MANY YEARS. AND WE'VE COVERED FATALES BUT NEVER ANYTHING ON THIS SCALE. THIS IS KIND OF A THE FIRST AT LEAST IN OUR CAREERS COVERING THESE THIS SAD STORY. BUT NOW I WAS FOLLOWING THIS STORM KIND OF I NOTICED I'M GETTING REPORTS FROM DOWN AT LAKE. I CARRY A NEAR CORNING. KRISTEN AREA. BUT THERE WAS A TORNADO ON THE GROUND. I I JUST AS THE REPORT AHEAD. IT WAS ON OUR RADAR WAS HEADED TOWARD MADISON COUNTY. SO THAT'S KIND OF WHERE I WAS WAS HANGING OUT, JUST KIND OF SEE IF THEY CAN CATCH IT. NOW. EARLIER TONIGHT, I DID SPEAK WITH THE EDGE OF THE SALE OF THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATOR. AND YOU'VE GOT TO FEEL BE ON SOME OF THE DETAILS. SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE ACCORDING TO SEARCH AND RESCUE OPERATIONS. WE HAD A NUMBER OF THAT WERE DAMAGED. WE'RE LOOKING FOR ANYONE WAS INJURED. ALSO ANYONE WHO NEEDS HELP.

ALSO FROM ALL OVER THE STATE IS COMING IN AS WELL STATE PATROL HERE. >> SO OUR WE DEFINITELY NEED PEOPLE TO STAY AWAY AND WE'RE WORKING THROUGH EACH. IT STINGS IT AS IT COMES IN. WE HAVE A UNIFIED COMMAND CENTER HERE >> NOW. THIS WAS THE SCENE AROUND 4.30 LOOKS LIKE THIS STORM IS GOING TO BREAK UP. COME THROUGH AND THOUGHT MAYBE WAS DONE. BUT THEN BIG FUNNEL BECAME VISIBLE AS IT CAUSED ACROSS HIGHWAY ONE 69 THE HOMES HIT WERE AROUND 3 MILES SOUTH OF WHERE I WAS ORIGINALLY WATCHING THE TORNADO JUST OFF ONE 69 WHAT YOU HEARD THEM TALKING ABOUT THAT. IT WAS AN EXTREMELY CHAOTIC SCENE. I SAW WERE ALL SORTS OF AMBULANCES. AND THE EMERGENCY MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THERE WOULD BE FATALITIES IN THIS. AND JUST NOW HE REVEALED THAT THE 6 FATALITIES. SO THEY'RE LOOKING FOR MORE PEOPLE TONIGHT, MORE THAN A DOZEN HOMES WERE HIT ALL SOUTH OF WINTER SET. PEOPLE COMING TO WINTER SAID HAD A DIFFICULT TIME GETTING AROUND HERE BECAUSE I DON'T WANT THIS POWER LINE. NOW, MAY BE SAID IN JUST NOW. BUT. THE ROAD EAST TOWARD I-35 WAS BLOCKED. SO A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GOING AROUND ON GRAVEL. THERE WAS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF THE TRAFFIC ON GRAVEL AND NOW HERE AT THE FIRE STATION. THE COMMUNITY'S BROUGHT FOOD THERE'S A REAL PEOPLE PEOPLE WANT TO AS HE ALLUDED TO IN THE NEWS CONFERENCE PEOPLE WANT TO HELP. BUT YOU KNOW, AT THIS POINT IT JUST KIND WAIT FOR TONIGHT.

IS >> AND WE DO WANT TO TAKE YOU TAKE US BACK TO WHEN YOU WERE SHOOTING THAT VIDEO BECAUSE WE SEE IT ON US FOR ABOUT 3 MILES AWAY WAS THAT BEFORE OR AFTER IT REALLY HIT THAT AREA IN MADISON COUNTY WHERE THEY SAY THEY SAW THE MOST DAMAGE THAT CARVER TRAIL PARK TO HIGHWAY ONE 69. >> YEAH. JONEE THE MOST OF THAT THAT HE SAW WAS BEFORE IT HIT THERE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COMING FROM THE SOUTHWEST AND AS A FIRST ON THE RISE AND I WASN'T SURE IF THAT WAS A FUNNEL OR WHAT THAT WAS. BUT AS IT GOT CLOSER, IT WAS PRETTY OBVIOUS. IT WAS A BIG SWIRLING FUNNEL AND RIGHT AS IT CROSSED THE THAT'S ABOUT THAT'S WHERE THAT CARVER ROAD IS WHERE THOSE HOMES WERE HIT RIGHT THERE. AND THEN AND IF YOU SAW THE VIDEO, BUT THEY HAVE SOME MORE VIDEO. BUT LATER ON AS AFTER CROSS THE ROAD AND KIND OF STARTING TO BREAK UP AND WAS SHROUDED IN A HAIL AND RAIN LATER ON. BUT IT WAS A DEFINITELY THE BIGGEST TORNADO I'VE SEEN UP CLOSE AND THE YEARS I'VE BEEN COVERING TORNADOES. BUT YEAH, IT WAS DEFINITELY VERY DESTRUCTIVE. JUST REALLY CHAOTIC AS EMERGENCY WORKERS ARE TRYING TO DO WHAT THEY COULD TO HELP IN THE SURVIVORS OR OUT OUT THERE IN THAT TORNADO JUNE >> DESTRUCTIVE AND DEADLY. OKAY. THANKS, ROGER.
