On Wednesday evening "Piers Morgan Live" welcomed heroic teacher Suzanne Haley to return to the program with a heartwarming update to the story she first shared on Tuesday night. A Special Education aide from Briarwood Elementary School, Haley was impaled in the leg while protecting her students during Monday's Oklahoma tornado. Initially, the single mother of two feared her insurance wouldn't cover her medical bills due to the particular hospital she was taken to. However, following her appearance with Piers Morgan, Haley got some good news:
"I received a call at 9:30 [CT] last night and was reassured that in events like this that the insurance would be covering the expenses that are going to be incurred for my stay, for surgery, for any additional rehab that I'm going to endure from this injury," she revealed to the host.
Noting the urgency of her initial situation, Haley suggested that her carrier made the appropriate right decision: FULL POST

Just hours after sharing her courageous and emotional story with Piers Morgan, heroic teacher Suzanne Haley learned that her insurance company would be covering her medical bills. A single mom, Haley was protecting a room full of students – including her own two daughters – when a piece of classroom furniture impaled her leg during Monday's Oklahoma tornado:
"The wall came in and landed right on top of us, on the desk. Initially I thought something large and heavy was just on my leg, and I was stuck," Haley told the "Piers Morgan Live" host. "I couldn't move. None of us could move. We finally got to roll around and kind of get out of the way, and I asked my daughter if she could see if that was something that was just on my leg that could be lifted, that I could pull out, and she realized and screamed that it was in my leg."
Compelled to protect her students and provide calm amidst a terrifying situation, the Special Education aide from Briarwood Elementary School managed to maintain her composure, despite her own fear and pain:

Editor's note: We received word around 1:30pm ET Wednesday that Jenkins' grandparents were found alive.
On the heels of a devastating tornado that ripped through Oklahoma on the strength of winds registering more than 200 miles per hour, on Tuesday evening "Piers Morgan Live" invited Cassandra Jenkins to share her painful and emotional story.
Flanked by her family, Jenkins told Piers Morgan about her grandparents Thomas and Claudia Foutch who haven't been seen or heard from since the tornado made landfall in their town of Moore:
"We've tried to locate them at every hospital, every shelter, every Red Cross. Anything that we can possibly reach out to we have, and they are still not located," she said as part of her live interview. "They are both in their 80's. My grandmother suffers from some dementia. My grandfather has some heart trouble. We know they've been without medication now for two days which is scary in itself. We are just very, very worried."
Jenkins says her grandparents home is still standing, despite property less than a mile away having been leveled. According to witnesses, the Foutch's were seen leaving a funeral at 2:30 in the afternoon on Monday, but since that point, neither the elderly couple, nor their vehicle, has been accounted for: FULL POST

This morning, "Piers Morgan Live" covered all angles of the devastating "mile wide" tornado that struck the town of Moore, Okla. Monday and killed at least 51. Joining Piers Morgan live in studio, Scientist Bill Nye talked to the host about the possibility this type of tornado could occur again:
"You can't say from any one storm that this is a result of, let's say, climate change," Nye explained. "This is a much more powerful storm than the one that everybody talks about - May 3, 1999 - because it's wider, cutting a wider swathe"
Nye had one reminder for everyone: FULL POST
