Chapter 1: What happened in Enid, Oklahoma after the tornado?
Live from NPR News, I'm Giles Snyder. A long night in Enid, Oklahoma, where search and rescue operations are underway following a massive tornado. Rescuers are searching for people who may be trapped in debris. Mayor David Mason says police have been able to get some people out of homes that sustained heavy damage.
They were doing search and rescue. We have now backed them out so that OHP can come in and do a secondary search.
Mason spoke to KOCO-TV. Video posted online shows a rapidly moving twister touching down. The Garfield County Sheriff's Office says there are no immediate reports of fatalities and that injuries are minor. Enid is a city of about 50,000 people, about 80 miles north of Oklahoma City. President Trump has ruled out using a nuclear weapon against Iran.
Speaking in the Oval Office, Trump also said he has plenty of time to reach a peace deal and stressed that his top priority is making sure that Tehran never possesses nuclear weapons. NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben reports.
Trump was testy responding to a reporter's question as to whether he'd use a nuclear weapon against Iran.
Why would I use a nuclear weapon when we've totally, in a very conventional way, decimated them? Without it, no, I wouldn't use it. A nuclear weapon should never be allowed to be used by anybody.
Earlier this month, Trump threatened Iran on social media, saying, quote, a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again, unquote. Trump also tells reporters now that he is not in a hurry to come to a peace deal with Iran, saying, quote, I don't want to rush it. I want to take my time. We have plenty of time. Danielle Kurtzleben, NPR News, the White House.
