Return to Story Index WELCOME
AND I'M RICK LORD...THIS IS EYEWITNESS NEWS. THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IS NOW SAYING IT WAS WORSE THAN THEY THOUGHT... IT HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO AN E-F 5... THE AT-TIMES TWO-MILE-WIDE TWISTER STAYED ON THE GROUND FOR ABOUT FORTY MINUTES AND FLATTENED BUILDINGS... INCLUDING AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN MOORE. THE SLIVER OF GOOD NEWS IN THIS, IS THAT THE DEATH TOLL HAS ACTUALLY GONE DOWN FROM WHAT WAS FEARED YESTERDAY... THERE ARE NOW 24 REPORTED CASUALTIES, INCLUDING AT LEAST NINE CHILDREN, BUT THAT NUMBER IS STILL LIKELY TO CLIMWHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE. WHILE DIGGING THROUGH THE RUBBLE... SEARCH AND RESCUE CREWS FOUND MORE THAN 100 PEOPLE OVERNIGHT. NEIGHBORS SAY THE STORM WAS SIMPLY FRIGHTENING... One of the worse experiences I ever had in my life. I was asking God to spare me and uh he did. I couldn't hear anything except cracking and kids screaming. It's starting to set in its just a total loss of everything. It lasted about 30, 40 seconds and then it was over and we're happy. TWENTY-ONE COUNTIES ACROSS OKLAHOMA ARE NOW IN A STATE OF EMERGENCY .

YESTERDAY AFTER THAT DEADLY TORNADO HIT..... FRAZER FOUND HIMSELF WORKING WITH HIS TEAM...... NOT TO WIN A GAME...BUT TO RESTORE HOPE IN A COMMUNITY THAT SO DESPERATELY NEEDS IT. "IT WAS CRAZY BECAUSE WE SEE WHAT HAPPENED, AND WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED WHERE WE WERE AT. WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW BAD IT WAS OR HOW SEVERE IT WAS UNTIL IT WAS ALL OVER." "WE WERE CLOSE ENOUGH TO KIND OF UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BIT BUT YET FAR ENOUGH AWAY TO NOT TOTALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT THESE PEOPLE WENT THROUGH." BUT AS THE TEAM WATCHED THE TELEVISION...TAKING IN THE IMAGES OF HOMES DESTROYED BY THE TORANDO ... SEEING THE INJURED PEOPLE AND KNOWING MORE THAN 20 PEOPLE WERE KILLED, THE TEAM KNEW THEY HAD TO DO SOMETHING... "ME AND MY TEAM ARE GETTING APPEARL FOR THE VICTIMS OF THE TORNADO TODAY..." EACH TEAM MEMBER GRABBED A SHOPPING CART AND LOADED IT UP WITH CLOTHING...DIAPERS..AND OTHER NESSCITIES. MATERIAL ITEMS THEY HOPE MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR THE VICTIMS...LIKE A WOMAN THEY MET IN THE STORE.... "SHE WAS ONE THAT REALLY LOST HER HOME AND IT HAPPENED JUST DAYS BEFORE THAT AND WE'RE JUST SITTING IN OUR HOTEL ROOM WATCHING IT ON TV WHILE SHE WAS THERE FIGHTING HER HER LIFE BASICALLY." WHILE THE TEAM WAS MORE THAN HAPPY TO HELP OUT "I THINK WE'RE DOING A GREAT THING." "I THINK THIS IS AWESOME" "JUST TRYING TO HELP THE CAUSE." FRAZER KNOWS MORE HELP IS NEEDED. "IT'S REALLY SAD BUT I THINK WE SHOULD ALL COME TOGETHER AND GIVE BACK SOMEHOW." FRAZER'S FAMILY SAYS THAT ACT OF KINDNESS FROM THE TEAM... HELPING OTHERS THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW... WAS A PROUD MOMENT FOR ANY PARENT... AND I THINK IT'S SAFE TO SAY A PROUD MOMENT FOR THE STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA... AS FOR THE BASEBALL GAMES...THE WEST VIRGINIA GAME IS STILL SET FOR TOMORROW AT 5 PM EASTERN TIME. REPORTING LIVE IN THE STUDIO...KATY BROWN...EYEWITNESS NEWS

Return to Story IndexSOCIAL IMPACT PREVIEW
BUT HOW MUCH CONNECTIVITY IS TOO MUCH? WE RECENTLY SAT DOWN WITH A GROUP OF STUDENTS AT HUNTINGTON HIGH SCHOOL FOR AN OPEN DISCUSSION ABOUT THEIR SOCIAL MEDIA HABITS. ONE RECENT STUDY FROM SOCIALLY-ACTIVE DOT COM SHOWED 70 PERCENT OF YOUNG ADULTS SPENT 17 HOURS A WEEK ONLINE. MOST OF THE TEENS IN OUR DISCUSSION ADMIT THAT EVEN THOUGH WHAT THEY POST OR TWEET CAN SEEM POINTLESS... THEY WOULD FEEL DISCONNECTED WITHOUT THEIR SOCIAL NETWORKS... WE ALSO TALKED WITH A CABELL COUNTY SCHOOLS ADMINISTRATOR ABOUT THOSE NETWORKS AFFECT STUDENTS AT SCHOOL. "Anytime anything happens on social media that impacts a student's education, and most of the time that's that they don't want to be in school any more, when that occurs, then we deal with it." TONIGHT AT 10 AND 11 -- EYEWITNESS NEWS REPORTER DARRAH WILCOX WILL SHOW PARENTS HOW TO BE PROACTIVE WHEN IT COMES TO COMMUNICATING WITH KIDS ABOUT THE DO'S AND DON'TS OF SOCIAL NETWORKING.
