3D view of Tornado Warned Cell in OK just west of Oklahoma City right now. Lots of rotation. Heading towards Oklahoma city but might go north of there (and Moore)
Speechless. AGAIN!!! Multiple voticies within one massive storm. I cant even keep going with reports. Good luck to everyone, Here's just a couple reports. We wont know until sun comes up what the extent in. Man o Man
I appreciate your input here Cambium, I DO!! I'm streaming one of the OKC stations online, and have been flip flopping between Fox, CNN, and the Weather Channel. The width of this thing just astounds me! One of the tornadoes is coming right at Tinker Air Force Base. Another went through the I-44- I-35-I-40 interchange a half hour ago. Sadly, it is a somewhat chaotic scene. the reporters are saying that there is so much rain coming down that some of the traffic on the interstates are a parking lot. They can't see where they are going-period. wall clouds are on three sides of the tornado. On the Oklahoma weather thread, one of the posters said one of the tornadoes is angling SOUTH!
As I'm watching the tube now, it is really dark.
The storm people called it right. They said this afternoon was trouble. It is. Sadly.
