Lack of Equipment Hinders Kansas Rescue

Search and rescue operations continue in Greensburg, Kansas, after a tornado tore through the town last weekend.

Gov. Kathleen Sebelius says the state's emergency response has been hampered by the lack of help from national guardsmen and women, who are in Iraq.
