twister come down, that will pull off parts of the roof. certainly as good as knocking down the power lines. we see the stoplights are out in town. the good news here in norman especially is there were some injuries, but nothing more than bumps and bruises. we're in this unique situation where meteorologists are looking at it saying all of the ingredients have gone into the mix to bring out seer life threatening tornadoes in the next few hours. so the people in this part of the country have been told to stay weather aware. that means staying close to your smart phone, staying close to your weather radio. watching the local news on television to see the latest information about where these storms are. also in this part of the country most of the homes are not built with basements. this brick construction will withstand an e.f. 2 or an e.f. 3 tornado. when you get into the e.f. 4 or 5 range, that's what the emergency crews call slab scrapers. if you've ever seen a house hit

by an e. there 5, it looks like a house that hasn't been built yet. if someone didn't get low, get into the basement, there is really very little chance that they could survive at all. what the people are told here to do is know who has a storm shelter. a lot of people out here do. they don't have basement but they have a storm shelter. know if your neighbor has one. make a plan to get there in the event the tornado forms up close to your house, and you have to seek shelter right away. that happens very quickly. and unfortunately over the past few months, we've become very experienced with this, and all of the witnesses will tell you, it's a matter of moments. they hear the warnings and the tornado's on them. the people in this part of the country really need to have a plan in place right now and be ready to execute it in a matter of moments, claudine. >> that's mike tobin reporting for us from norman, oklahoma this morning. thanks, mike. right now, a city wide disaster response drill is under way in san francisco. it began about 15 minutes ago at everett middle school on church street. the drill is being conducted by the neighborhood emergency
