From NPR News in Washington, I'm Lakshmi Singh.Emergency workers outside Oklahoma city are racing this hourto find more people who may still be trapped beneath the wreckage of yesterday's menace tornado.They have rescued dozens of people from the rubble of homes and schools,welcome news to first responders,who had earlier recovered 24 bodies including those of nine children.Betsy Randolph a spokesperson for Oklahoma highway patrol saysrescuers are combing through the same areas they previously searchedhoping to find anyone they might have missed."Some of those were covered with the debris under a shelter,and so that's where we were hoping to continue to find further reminder of the day.We were very hopeful for that."So far more than 200 patients and more have been treated at area hospitals.Kurt Gwartney, with member station KGOU has been surveying the tornado damagewhich stretches for about 17 miles and more.He says it's not such as homes, schools and other buildings leveled.There are piles of twisted metal of what used to be vehicles.There are probably, I would guess, 80 to 90 cars, just piled on each other,and it's, it's, you can't figure out really how that would happen.Kurt Gwartney of Member station KGOU.Treasury secretary Jacob Lew saysit was unacceptable and inexcusable for IRS agents to give extra scrutiny to Tea party tie groups, when they applied for tax exempt status.
