BOLDUAN: Daylight now revealing the scope of the damage left behind in Texas today after a tornado tore through the city. High winds also knocked out power to more than 100,000 customers. Ed Lavandera joins me on the phone from Dallas with more on this. Ed, you've been up and around. What have you been seeing, what have you been hearing from folks?</s>ED LAVANDERA, CNN CORRESPONDENT (via telephone): It's a staggering scene across the city, from the heavily densely populated area of northwest Dallas all the way into northeast Dallas. This tornado spans more than 12 hours on the ground, carving just really staggering damage. Considering how physically small this tornado was, Kate, it has damaged all across the city. And now that the sun has come up, we're really starting to get a bigger grasp and a fuller grasp of just how devastating the damage has been in business areas, in residential neighborhoods. This is a densely populated area. And made all the more terrifying because, Kate, this tornado struck at night, it was dark. The only time you could really see exactly what was going on was during the flashes of lightning that would light up the funnel cloud of this tornado. So a staggering and frightening scene. And now this city is having to clean up this extensive damage.</s>BOLDUAN: Ed, what are you hearing in terms of when the power is going to be able to get back on and what folks are going to be doing today?</s>LAVANDERA: Well, today is all about cleanup. The amazing thing here is no one was killed, no severe injuries. But there are 100,000 people without power and that work is already underway to try to restore that as quickly as possible.</s>BOLDUAN: From the images we can see from up above and on the ground, so thankful there weren't the injuries we normally would fear after something like this. Thank you, Ed. Thank you so much. Ed Lavandera, on the ground in Dallas. He'll be there throughout the day. Thank you guys so much for joining me today. "INSIDE POLITICS" with John King starts right now.
