The Tornado on TV right now is a monster. My prayers to the people of the mid-west.

[hrmjustin]

It is south of OK City.

[uppityperson]

1. Thanks, this is big. Link to live streaming....

http://kfor.com/on-air/live-streaming/

I am so glad they are keeping on saying where it is and headed and get somewhere safe now if you are near there.

[hrmjustin]

2. Just south of OK City near Norman and Moore.

[hollysmom]

3. near Moore, by CLeveland.

[fishwax]

13. The Cleveland reference probably meant Cleveland County

Moore and Norman are in Cleveland County. There is a Cleveland, Oklahoma, but it's farther north.

[hollysmom]

29. thanks - I just typed what I heard, should have listened better.

[Occulus]

28. Thanks for the link. I got to see one go from wedge to cone to rope and gone,

and I got to see it live.

Sweet.

Everyone, if the sirens go off, especially if there are storms in the area, maybe a hot, muggy day.... get under cover. Get your kids under cover. Do NOT open or close windows to the exterior; it makes no difference and you have no time. Just go to a basement, interior room, or closet. These are not things with which to trifle.

[HappyMe]

4. Holy crap!

Oh my God, it's enormous!

[HockeyMom]

5. Having seen a tornado as a NYC child in Indiana

my good vibes to you. Very frightening.

[hrmjustin]

8. I am in Brooklyn and I saw one in Bay Ridge several years ago.

Very scary.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. Yikes! Look at this wind map:

It's bad all over. Good luck to the folks in Oklahoma, especially.

[KatyaR]

19. That map is why we have the best weather professionals in the world

working right here.

If you pay attention and do what they say, you have a really good chance of being okay. When they say get underground, you do it, no delays.

7. Whoah! Link to live streaming here

[siligut]

41. Whoah is right!

Thank you for the link . . . I think.

[Celldweller]

9. I've often dreamt of escaping California

for the low cost of living and slower lifestyle of the MW but I can't get past the fear of these damn things.

I mean earthquakes are nothing in comparison.

[cbdo2007]

10. Wow! That's a monster.

But that's great coverage with the street maps so you know if you are in the path.

Prayers to everyone in OKC!

[winter is coming]

11. Yeowch! That's a bad one.

Good vibes for everyone in the path of these storms.

[chillfactor]

12. watching on MSNBC right now

saying 200 mph winds and 2 miles wide

[Blue Owl]

14. JFC

[fishwax]

15. get below ground or flee

an interior room won't be sufficient, they're saying.

[PotatoChip]

16. Watching uppity's link right now.

They are saying it's stalled out and weakening, but still very scary looking.

Edit: Prayers for the people there.

[Grammy23]

17. We had a much less dangerous tornado in our town a year or so ago.....

the local news went on live, minute by minute with radar showing where the tornado was headed. It was night time so seeing it would have been difficult. The wall to wall coverage for a local community is going to save lives since they can inform people moment by moment so they know what's going on and where.

Coincidentally, I just read stories today about a tornado that struck Vicksburg, MS in 1953. They had little warning so a lot of people died because they were just going about their business, shopping, etc. It hit late in the afternoon in Dec. and no one seemed to be aware that it was coming. Devastated the town. Killed 38 people and injured many more. Thank goodness things have improved for predicting storms and where they are going so at least people have a chance to either take shelter or move away from the storm's path.

[chillfactor]

18. the kids in schools must be scared to death

[uppityperson]

20. :( Hoping for the best

[redqueen]

21. They're all over the midwest...

Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas... Oklahoma seems to have gotten the worst of it, for now...

[rl6214]

22. Unreal

[uppityperson]

23. Back big and heading to vacant land at the moment

[cbdo2007]

26. geez, I can't believe it's still going

Feels like I've been watching it for 30 minutes

[sheshe2]

24. OMG!

I pray for all to stay safe!

[hlthe2b]

25. I hate tornado season and I have to drive across Kansas on Wednesday...

I surely hope for a break in these systems and hope for the very best for those in the path..

[chillfactor]

27. MORE TORNADOES BREAKING OUT

GOOD GOD!!!!

[uppityperson]

30. Oh holy crap. Zooming in on the trail in this live link. Houses, school gym, damn

http://kfor.com/on-air/live-streaming/

[janlyn]

31. huge prayers

I was in the march 1st 97 little rock tornado. There was nothing left. I got lost trying to get out of a neighborhood I had lived in for 4yrs.Huge prayers to all in the path!!!

[Texasgal]

32. Someone said the elementary school was hit

can anyone confirm that?

[hrmjustin]

34. From what I saw on TV the building looks to be standing.

But that could be a different school.

[Texasgal]

35. Okay, just saw

two schools were hit, one is really bad. Oh man.

[Grammy23]

36. Yes, you can see it on MSNBC right now. Between Santa Fe and Western.

Setting up search and Rescue at Warren Theater. If you pray, you need to do so now. If not, just send your good thoughts their way. They are going to need it.

TV reporters are obviously emotionally affected by what they are seeing.

[Z_I_Peevey]

37. kfor says two schools hit

[uppityperson]

38. 1 looks damaged, another is gone (on 149th). Where are the kids?

[Texasgal]

39. They said they were keeping the kids

in school when the storms hit.

I hope they were underground.

[uppityperson]

42. I hope also. Oh bloody hell.

[redqueen]

44. WTF!!!!

They always sent us home... WTF!

[Texasgal]

46. I think they were afraid to have a bunch of

children and parents and buses in the streets until after the threat died down. No one can predict exactly where a tornado will go. That's my guess anyway.

I am just sick. I hope they were in a shelter.

[redqueen]

47. I'm raging...

They should have released them early... Before it got so bad... I can't stand it... Nothing around here has below ground shelters ... Bedrock too close... I hope its different up there... My god...

[Grammy23]

33. Oh, my goodness....reporting that a school was hit. Very bad.

Lots of homes destroyed. Helicopter reporter sounds pretty shaken up just viewing the damage from the air. Reporting the school is completely destroyed. Houses, school, etc. completely leveled.

[kiva]

40. Sounds like two schools were hit.

[MerryBlooms]

43. This is heartbreaking. The video stream is just unbelievable.

[octoberlib]

45. My thoughts are with the people in the midwest.

I grew up in Kansas City . A tornado hit our part of town when I was around 5 years old. I hope I never have to experience that again.

[Cha]

48. thanks hrmjustin
