[0:02] Tonight, more tornadoes in the heart of
[0:04] America. This time, Oklahoma takes the
[0:06] biggest hit. It's the deadliest tornado
[0:09] season in more than 50 years.
[0:12] I'm Harry Smith. Also tonight, Democrats
[0:15] hope it's a preview of the 2012
[0:17] elections. They score an upset win in a
[0:20] special congressional race that came
[0:22] down to a battle over changing Medicare.
[0:26] An Ohio auto factory revs up as General
[0:29] Motors starts hiring again. And from
[0:32] local TV star to media mogul, 25 years

[1:13] were reported across five states,

[1:20] April, tornadoes in this country have
[1:22] killed more than 500 people. The average
[1:25] number of deaths for an entire tornado
[1:28] season is about 60. Rebecca Jarvis is in
[1:31] Pedmont, Oklahoma tonight with the
[1:32] latest. Rebecca, good evening.
[1:35] >> Harry, good evening. And this is the
[1:36] hardest hit town in Oklahoma. As many as
[1:40] 100 homes look like the one behind me
[1:42] after a tornado tore through town last
[1:45] night.

[1:50] trailer house.
[1:50] >> With winds up to 150 m an hour.
[1:53] >> What's behind us?
