 Hi, I'm Carl Azuz. Welcome to CNN Student News.

In yesterday's special edition, we asked you to share your thoughts about this week's deadly tornado 1 in Oklahoma. From Rebecca, we can't stop this, but we can try our best to work on helping 2 the victims and repairing the damage; and from Jessica, stay strong, stay together and hold on, 'cause Oklahoma is getting on the road to recovery. That road is certainly to be a long one, there's people return to their homes and start the rebuild. Ensurance official thinks the tornado might have cause more than 2 billion dollars in damages. Chris Cuomo examined the power of the storm.
--We're gonna take you to the tornado's path from beginning to end. If you look down here, you're gonna see a brown line, right starts from this debris 3 field, and starts going this direction. That is the actually the tornado's trail, and as you see it's going to get much more dramatic as we get near populated area.
You literally 4 can trace with your finger a line where the tornado wind, the path is completely obvious. It's about a block and an half wide. And you notice it just by seeing everything that's destroyed.
Right now we're flying at 2,500 feet high above the ground. Sicentist say that the debris of the tornado contains 10 times as high as we are right now into the air. Look the trees, it looks like people pulled them up and laid them down there, just like they were waiting their garden. And those are huge old grow fine trees.
Cars are just littered along the trail they were never there, they weren't parked here, they were tossed 5 like toys. This part of the community really showed you the randomicity and tensity of the tornado, some homes are just completely gone, and in a block away being spared. And this part of debris trail ends at a school where children lost their lives.
To protect themselves during the storms, some people went in the storm shelters in their homes. This YouTube video shows what it looked like when one Oklahoma family came out ot its shelter.
The Mayor of Moore Oklahoma, the city that was hit the worst by this tornado, says he's going to push for a new law. It would require that any new home has to be built with either a storm shelter or a safe room. The safe room was all that was left standing 6 when the tornado hit this family's home in Alabama in 2011. The house was destroyed. The families stayed inside the room. The special rooms and shelters aren't luxurious 7, they have one purpose to keep people alive. Gary Tuchman shows us how.
--The people who lived in this house that was destroyed survived. They survived because they left well advance. But if they did not leave well advance, they would survive also. Because they had this heavy metal storm shelter. I wanna show you how it works.
You open the door, and you take a look inside. You see it's very cramp 8 inside, there is not much room, but plenty of room to survive. Walk down the steps with your family, you can fit 7 or 8 people and the important things here, clothing, pictures, valuables. You come in and then you just shut the door. And you're safe and sound as the tornado goes above you. There's no doubt that the people would survive if they went into the shelter. When the storms over, you open it up and you all come out. One thing you kept in mind you may say, woo, the rubble 9 falls on this you are hard to get out. Well, you don't lift it up, you slide it and you slide it under here. And if the rubble fall on the top of it, lots of rubble, you may not able to slided it. But then you're alive, presumably 10 told your relatives that you're here, and they told recuers and they come and they rescue you.
And one thing in my wonder why don't schools in the tornado belt Oklahoma and Texas in Kansas all have storm shelters, all have basements. Well, you should point out it is not a law. And the fact is, many school districts say it's just not economically feasible to have these. It cost several thousand dollars these personal shelters.
