to those storms. right around i 40 just to the east of oklahoma city. >> this is ainsley i was reading earlier mobile homes were collapsed on top of one another. we are looking at this video. it looks awful. i can't image these types of tornadoes coming toward you and what to do. you have to make a split decision to get to safety. what are you seeing there on the ground, a lot of devastation? >> not right now. it's dark we are driving through. we get heavy ponding because of some of the rain that came through here. the video i have seen is very significant. trarls are the worst possible place you can see when there are torn goes going through. hopefully most of the people are out of tthat area. the storms -- it's a big tornado song the meteorologists did an

excellent job forecasting this. they had helicopters there that's why we got so much good footage of the tornadoes live on the ground. the people of shawnee certainly had warning, and hopefully if they didn't have tv's on and such they had neighbors getting word to them. you can't stand up to it when the tornado goes through there. it was a very strong and large one. >> this is heather again. we were on the air when some of the initial tornadoes started touching down. even they it is known as tornado alley they knew what to do they had to do it quickly. one of the things with these tornadoes is they were rain wrapped. can you tell us why that would make it another dangerous? >> there is so much moisture in some of these storms you can get

rain, it's a rain wrapped tornado. you don't get that visual cue that you have got a tornado coming to you, that can be harder to see. that said you have got a lot of rain wrapped coronados around here you don't just get the physically visible tornadoes. they are prepared and know what to do. if you are in a certain kind of structure it doesn't matter. >> thank you for being there and for bringing us coverage all day long. >> the midwest the plains states still not in the clear. more tornadoes expected. maria mol lehas more. >> good morning. good to see you. good morning everyone. heartbreaking seeing those images out of the oklahoma area.
