BRIAN WILLIAMS, anchor: You're looking at here at newly released video from a security camera inside a high school in Joplin , Missouri , that shows the power, the fury, the intensity of the tornado that ripped through town earlier this year. Ten buildings at the high school were destroyed by that twister, killed over 100 people in the process. School is scheduled to begin next week. Students will be attending classes at a nearby shopping mall. The video here was released to help raise funds for rebuilding. We've sent our cameras back into Joplin , Missouri ; tomorrow night here we'll have a special report on their progress.
