good evening. on the heels of last night's massive and deadly midwest tornado outbreak, all the ingredients are in place for more dangerous weather this evening. this afternoon possible severe thunderstorms and tornadoes, in areas stretching from arkansas, northward to parts of minnesota. yesterday through dawn this morning, experts counted at least 122 reported tornadoes across four states. including one that killed five people in northwestern oklahoma, and injured more than two dozen. so potent was this system, government forecasters took the unusual step of warning of life-threatening conditions, more than 24 hours in advance, a warning that may have saved countless lives. nbc's jay gray has our report from the hard-hit town of woodward, oklahoma. >> coming right across the highway here. >> reporter: more than 100

tornadoes sliced through the central and southern plains. at one time, two funnels dropping from the clouds in oklahoma. the violent system blasted through nebraska, iowa and kansas, tearing away anything in its path. >> everything is gone. everything we've worked for all of our lives. >> reporter: the intensity of the storms was evident when it moved into oklahoma, tossing an suv. >> call it like it is. this is now becoming a killer tornado. >> reporter: as the afternoon gave way tonight, the assault continued. tough to see in the dark, sometimes the tornado revealed by a flash of lightning. the damage left behind is clear and overwhelming in the light of day. >> just a devastating, frustrating thing. oh, my. i'm almost at no words over it. it's -- i've never dealt with anything like it before. >> reporter: few in woodward, oklahoma, have. >> you could hear people

screaming. down the road there. you could hear stuff crashing and breaking. it sounded horrible. >> reporter: five people in woodward were killed in the storm. including a father and his two young children who tried to ride it out in their mobile home. this is all that's left of their neighborhood. the loss is overwhelming this tight-knit community. adding to the grief that warning sirens did not sound. >> i thought about that ever since i found out that we lost five people. so i would think it would have helped, yes. >> reporter: help is something so many across the midwest need tonight. their lives splintered and scattered for miles. survivors left to search for hope and answers in all of this mess. the view from their front doors forever changed. let's get back to the young

family, the single dad and two children who died in the storm. there was a toddler who was rushed to a texas hospital with life-threatening injuries. there's been no update tonight on her condition. ground teams are here in woodward, and across the region, assessing the damage. they've rated it on the ef scale, the tornado spawned in this storm, 1 to 4, which means in some remote areas winds were within 200 miles an hour. in the last few minutes the national weather system said it was an ef-3 storm in woodward. >> thank you, jay gray. a big story that prostitution scandal involving agents and officers of the u.s. secret service. and members of the u.s. military. who were part of the advance team for president obama's trip to the summit of the americas in colombia. tonight there is new fallout and president obama is weighing in for the first time. our white house correspondent kristen welker is in cartegena tonight with the details.

>> reporter: president obama for the first time addressing the secret service scandal that has embarrassed the agency and the administration. >> if it turns out that some of the allegations that have been made in the press are confirmed, then of course i'll be angry. >> reporter: it happened on wednesday night here at the hotel caribe. 11 special agents and uniformed officers, including two supervisors allegedly brought prostitutes back to the hotel where guests have to leave their i.d.s at the front desk. thursday morning hotel managers realized one woman hadn't picked up her i.d. by checkout time, and found her in a room with an agent, fighting after he failed to pay her. the hotel called local police, who alerted the u.s. embassy. ultimately it went all the way to the white house. the secret service members were sent home before the president arrived friday. five u.s. military members also

assigned to protect the president during the trip who may have also been involved have been confined to their quarters in cartegena. prostitution is legal in parts of colombia, but it is a violation of the secret service rules of conduct. in a statement the agency said, the secret service demands more from its employees and these expectations are met and exceeded every day by the vast majority of our work force. members of congress say they will launch their own investigation. >> my committee, we're going to look into all the details of what happened here, to see whether there should be changes in procedures, to see whether or not something should have been noticed before. >> this is really the biggest scandal in the history of the secret service. >> reporter: ron wrote "in the president's secret service" echoed the calls for change in the agency. >> there's a culture in the secret service that's fostered by the management of just nodding, winking, favoritism, corner cutting.

>> reporter: now, the secret service has launched an internal investigation and placed all 11 personnel on administrative leave. lester? >> kristen welker, thank you. we're back in a moment with late breaking developments tonight after a violent day in afghanistan.
