Return to Story IndexOK TORNADOES
IT COULD TOP TWO BILLION DOLLARS AND THE MAYOR IS PUSHING TO REQUIRE SAFE-ROOM SHELTERS IN ALL NEW HOMES. HERE'S THE LATEST FROM MOORE, OKLAHOMA. A sure sign of the recovery, a family comes home this morning to their damaged home, and finds their cat in the rubble. NATS This, as Volunteers are spreading out over Moore, Oklahoma .....delivering food and comfort to residents who lost everything in that powerful and devastating tornado. Hundreds of state and federal officials are also on the ground, setting up disaster recovery centers that will provide aid and assistance to victims as they begin the painful process of assessing their losses, and try to salvage what's left. SOT Rodney Heltcel, Moore resident: 1130 aptn "No furniture, there is nothing left. We are saving a few pictures here and there." Rescue dogs are still searching every house, up to three times, to make sure no one is buried under the rubble, or trapped in a storm shelter. Amidst the debris, tales of survival, like Kim Harlan's, who ran into the hospital when the huge funnel cloud barreled towards her. SOT Kim Harlan, Survivor (partially covered) "We got into a hallway. Everybody huddled. I was over a little girl and the roof, you know started to come in and I grabbed the foam part of the roof and then out it over the little girl and then I laid on here. All the windows exploded. I looked up, saw it, it was right on top of us." The hospital took a direct hit, so did two schools ...their buildings devastated, and with very different outcomes. At Briarwood Elementary everyone survived. Some believe the school's construction played a role in the miracle ending. Each grade there is organized into pods. And in the middle of each pod, and opening to the outdoors. It served as an escape route when the walls collapsed. But seven children died at the other school, Plaza Towers Elementary, a more traditional building. When it's roof collapsed, there were no open spaces to crawl to safety. Andy Roesgen Standup Close: "Classes at Moore schools are canceled for the rest of the school year. But graduations will go on. Andy Roesgen, ABC News, in Moore, Oklahoma."

Return to Story IndexSUNSCREEN
IT STARTS WITH CHOOSING THE RIGHT SUNSCREEN. SUNSCREENS THAT ARE "BROAD SPECTRUM" PROTECT AGAINST BOTH U-V-A AND U-V-B RAYS. THE FDA NOW REQUIRES SUNSCREENS THAT ARE NOT BROAD SPECTRUM AND LACK AN S-P-F OF AT LEAST 15 TO CARRY A WARNING. THIS REMINDS YOU THAT PARTICULAR PRODUCT WILL NOT PROTECT AGAINST SKIN CANCER OR EARLY SKIN AGING. HEALTH EXPERTS SAY IT'S NOT ONLY IMPORTANT TO CHOOSE A SUNSCREEN WITH A SUN PROTECTION FACTOR OF AT LEAST 15, BUT YOU MUST ALSO USE THE CORRECT AMOUNT "None of us use enough sunscreen to give us the protection we think we're getting. A shot glass amount or a golf ball-sized amount is enough to cover your exposed skin if you are in a bathing suit." "The typical rules are you're going to need to reapply every two hours, more often if you're sweating or doing something that will physically remove the sunscreen, or doing something like swimming." THE F-D-A IS ALSO CONSIDERING WHETHER ADDITIONAL CHANGES ARE NEEDED TO SUNSCREEN REGULATIONS.

AND THE HOME FOR SUPER BOWL 50 AND 51 HAVE BEEN PICKED. (WITH HEADLINE SPORTS, I'M___) Grizzlies and Spurs....Game Two of the Western Conference Final....this one wasn't as easy as game one for San Antonio. The Grizzlies trailed by 18 points late in the third quarter before mounting a furious comeback. Mike Conley's jumper with 18 seconds left sent the game to overtime. In the extra period, Tim Duncan scored 6 of the Spurs 7 points to seal the win. He finished with 17 points and 9 rebounds; Tony Parker added 18 assists. Spurs lead the series 2-0; game three is Saturday in Memphis. For the second time in three years, the Cleveland Cavaliers will pick first in the NBA Draft. Nick Gilbert, son of Cavs owner Dan Gilbert was on stage again for the pick; he was also there when Cleveland won the pick in 2011. The Draft will be June 27th in New York. Vinny Del Negro's time as Clippers head coach has come to an end. The team announced that his contract would not be renewed in at the end of June. This past season Del Negro guided the team to one of the best records in franchise history, but was knocked out of the playoffs in the first round. The N-F-L announced the locations of Super Bowl 50 and 51. San Francisco will play host for the second time; they will host Super Bowl 50 in 2016. Houston was awarded the event for the third time; they will host 51 in 2017. Miami missed out on being the first team to host the game eleven times. On the ice, Bruins and Rangers game three....Daniel Paille scored the go ahead goal with less than four minutes to play. Bruins held on to win 2-1 and they take a 3-0 series lead. They go for the sweep Thursday night. The Angels crushed the Mariners 12-0. Monster night for Mike Trout....Bottom 8th, he needed ja homerun to complete hitting-for-the cycle. He takes Lucas Luetge out of the park. Trout went 4-for-4 with five RBI's.
