Family is alive after riding out tornado in storm cellar

Tonight the deaths of 24 people from Monday's destructive tornado is raising new questions about whether there is a way to better protect people from the threat of tornadoes and extreme weather.

Moore's website clearly states:

"We at the City of Moore Emergency Management Department advocate that every residence have a storm safe-room or an underground cellar."

Mayor of tornado-ravaged town: New law needed to keep people safe

Yet the city estimates that only about 10 percent of homes in Moore actually have an underground shelter.
And as we've seen and heard from survivors of Monday's tornado – these shelters often mean the difference between life and death.

Ed Lavandera has the story OutFront.

Weiner seeks a political comeback with NYC mayoral bid

After months of speculation and nearly two years after he resigned from Congress because of a sexting scandal - New York's disgraced Congressman Anthony Weiner has announced he's running for New York City's mayor.

He announced his candidacy with a two-minute online ad.

"I've made some big mistakes, I know I let a lot of people down, but I've also learned some tough lessons, I'm running for mayor because I've been fighting for the middle class my entire life, and I hope I get a second chance to work for you." Weiner said.

But are voters ready to give Weiner a second chance?
