8:38 A.M. Video From the Search at Plaza Towers Elementary School

As dawn broke over a storm-ravaged Moore, Okla., rescue workers continued to sift through the rubble at two schools and in entire neighborhoods leveled by a tornado with winds estimated at roughly 200 miles per hour. At the Plaza Towers Elementary School, as our colleagues report, rescue crews were able to pull several children from the rubble late Monday, but concerns grew overnight that no more victims would be found alive.

On the scene, reporters from KOCO-TV in Oklahoma talked to rescue workers as they were told the effort was moving from rescue to recovery operations.
