BALDWIN: Good morning and welcome back here. I'm Brooke Baldwin and you're watching special coverage of the tornado aftermath, the EF-5 tornado aftermath here in Moore, Oklahoma. It's just been under three days since that monstrous tornado hit Moore in the surrounding area of Oklahoma City. And folks that live here, they are just now facing the enormity of the challenges that lie ahead. I want you to listen to something. This is the Oklahoma City mayor just describing the scale of the tragedy.</s>MAYOR MICK CORNETT, OKLAHOMA CITY: The numbers of this event are becoming even more staggering -- 33,000 people affected, 12,000 to 13,000 homes impacted, property damages, $1.5 to $2 billion. Obviously this is a significant event and it's one that's going to take us a while to address.</s>BALDWIN: And the numbers, you heard the mayor mentioning a few, they really reflect the heartbreak here. 24 people killed, ten of them children. And today, this heartbroken town steels itself for the funerals.</s>CORNETT: This is going to be a tough weekend for us as we bury those children who died in the elementary school and the rest of our citizens who fought from the storm and just couldn't evade the terror. We have learned that President Obama will be traveling to Moore this coming Sunday to tour, certainly visit with the families, see the devastation here. Last night, the president vowed that the country will be with the residents' road to recovery each and every step of the way. Much more from Moore, Oklahoma, coming up next.
