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

"People were prepared as they can be and mother nature's just not gonna be tamed every time."
"The good thing is we're resilient here," said Keith about his hometown. "I'm proud to live here in this town and I've always called it home." 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
