[0:02] two days after the tornado, the search

[0:05] goes on for victims and relatives of the

[0:07] missing cling to hope.

[0:09] >> So when she comes back, when she comes

[0:12] back,

[0:14] I'll be all right.

[0:16] >> I'm Harry Smith in Joplain, Missouri.

[0:19] Also tonight, inside the monster, there

[0:22] was something different about this

[0:24] tornado. What made it so powerful and

[0:27] ultimately so deadly?

[0:29] And picking up the pieces, they escaped

[1:32] >> There's a funnel.

[1:33] >> There's a funnel.

[1:36] ground, guys. We got a tornado on the

[1:38] ground.

[1:38] >> Yeah, that's a tornado on the ground.

[1:39] >> Look at that rotation there, guys, on

[1:41] the ground. That's amazing.

[1:42] >> The funnel is really starting to grow.

[1:44] Oh, you got vortex there on the ground.

[1:47] You have vortexes there spinning
