Thank you ladies. Thanks all of you for joinging us. Yesterday we talked about severe weather predictions in the middle west United States.
Today, we're sorry to report that the forecast was right. A massive tornade moved through parts of Oklohoma City yesterday. Estimates said it could be 2 miles wide. The national weather service issued a rare tornade emergency which means significant and widespread damage was likely. After the twister passed through, the first picture of the area showed just massive destruction. Tornades have been popping out all over the middle west. This one is in Kansas. You can actually see, the tornade's funnel 2 rotating. And this is what they leave behind: hundreds of homes damaged or completely destroyed. A helicopter pilot for a local news station said it was like the houses were picked up, put in blender and then dumped out. Forecaster say more tornades could form. If there was a waring for one in your area, experts, of course, say one key is to find shelter, you wanna go the the lowest level of your house, find a interior room staying away from windows.
The victims of these storms in Oklahoma City and around the region are going to face a very long recovery preocess. If you would like to get ideas how you can help out, get to the resouces box on our homepage and click the impact your world link.
Next, we're heading to a county where officials are concerned about the increasing violence. The war in Iraq maybe over, fighting has not stopped in the Middle Eastern country.
Baghdad, Samarra, Haditha, Basra, during the Iraq War, those cities regularly saw violence, and they were the sight of more violence yesterday.
Car bombs, and roadside bombs, gunmen attacking police checkpoint. At least 15 people were killed across Iraq, and more than 100 others were wounded. Officials are describing it sectarian violence which means the fighting is between different rligion groups.
In this case, 2 different groups of Muslims, Sunnis who are minority group in Iraq, and Shi'ites who are in the majority.
--Social media said Tumblr maybe missing in E for its name, but that's not stopping Yahoo from buying it. The giant internet company wants the smaller blogging company for one big reson: young people.
Yahoo wants more users who are bigger in social media, Tumblr has them; Yahoo wants more users who are on the go using smartphones, Tumblr has them. And Yahoo is hoping to turn profit on Tumblr -- that may take a while. It paid over a billion dollars for the blogging site.
How can Tumblr bring in money? More ads. About 300 million peole use Tumblr every month, about 120,000 signed up everyday. That's a lot, why would not advertises want in on it.
Thing is some of Tumblr users might not like seeing ads galore like peole do on Yahoo. But the big company in its own words just promising 3 not screw it up. Yahoo says it won't put its own logos on Tumblr. It's promising that Tumblr CEO and founder 4 can keep his job. It could a while before the investment pays off, if it pays off. But for now at least, it's giving Yahoo something to shout about.
