edmond police say luckily at this point here in edmond there's no injuries to report. that's the best news of all. the homeowner and the home behind me that may have been the first hit this afternoon said he escaped without injury. that's good news. we'll have much more on all the damage later on in the evening. back to you guys. >> thank you very much. i was over in the area and lived not far from there and was talking to you on the phone the damage i saw. looked like ef-1, however they determine damage. it is still scary. >> reid timer is reporting at least 45 houses damaged. some of those destroyed. he said they had major damage. several people were ejected from their vehicles on i-40. that's why the search and rescue crews were asked to go to that area and need for emergency personnel in sections of shawnee. we'll have crews there as well. let me show you the pictures we have been getting in this afternoon you have been kind enough to send in. we always ask you be careful. he took these pictures around his neighborhood. this is around 15th and bryant, 33rd and brya

>> i'm on the east side of oklahoma city north of edmond. i'm driving right now and i can look south into the norman area and see just blackness and at 5:00 something in the afternoon that is an odd sight to see and look directly north where there were several touchdowns and i witnessed personally in luce ram then hail and a splash of sun light here. the weirdest thing i have seen. i have to say. >> you are from that part of the country originally? >> i grew up in the the midwest. >> so you have seen this before. how does the day compare. what we are hearing about the several day event is the huge building. what is the temperature like? what are the conditions like comparatively to what you experienced? >> it is weird. i live in the city and you hear this stuff all the time you can go out on the front porches and unless you see a tornado from there, that is kind of our mantra. being in the city and knowing there is a tornado miles away, there was a tornado that touched down near my neighborhood. this is in the city and where we went to schoo

that tornado lifted and edmond is on the northeast side of oklahoma city. that tornado lifted, and immediately we had just a very large tornado, around half a mile wide touch down, and it continued to track just north of i-40, and that's the storm that i stayed on, and then the southern storm formed down there on the southeast side of oklahoma city, and i actually headed south back out of the storm that i was on just in time to catch it. you had another tornado near the community of prague when it touched down shortly before dark. >> jason, tell us about the damage that you saw. >> so far i have not been through the damage path. i've tried to stay out of the way and let the paramedics and the first responders do, you know, the job that they are required to do. i think that's really important because a lot of time the onlookers tend to get in the way of emergency vehicles trying to get into the areas and things like that. i'll be headed back that direction to help out with the efforts here over the next couple of hours. >> jason mclaughlin, a storm chaser, t

as it came out of oklahoma city, edmond, and on toward carney. i believe carney probably took it the worst. that's where we had the highest gate-to-gate shear. the doppler radar seeing different directions. wind coming toward the doppler and away from the doppler at 130, 140 miles per hour right there near the carney area going over the highway that connects carney into wellston. as this storm continued to move toward the east, it died off a little bit. it's reintensifying and we have a new tornado warning for the western suburbs of tulsa. i'm very concerned, lake thunderbird, though, on toward bethel acres, that's where the highest degree of danger right now lies. there are three separate super cell s. the one rotating the most is southeast of oklahoma city proper. slightly rural right now, but there are more towns and cities in the way. as this continues to get stronger, don, the storm southeast of oklahoma city is getting stronger, not moving toward oklahoma city, but definitely toward possibly the shawnee or the bethel acres area. take cover

number of tornadoes that have touched down in oklahoma, including this one we saw a bit earlier in edmond. this has been a topsy-turvy weekend for a lot of people in the country's midsection and this dangerous weather system is on the move. tonight the national weather service says 148 million people are at risk for severe weather from now into tuesday. that's half the u.s. population. we watched as this all unfolded in oklahoma just moments ago. take a listen. >> go left! >> big-gun tornado coming down! whoa, whoa, whoa. stay on the street. >> folks, look at that. that's violent. that's violent. >> violent tornado! off to the right. big-time debris cloud. there is large structural debris. >> it's going to be heading for -- >> right in front of us! >> dobbs road. >> it's very dangerous! >> baseball-sized hail. that is approaching dobbs road. one mile south of waterloo road. you folks in rural areas up there, this is a life threatening, damaging tornado here. it is large and multi-vortex. >> as they reported in oklahoma a short while ago, our team is in place to cover it all, including nbc

i think that when you live in a place like moore or oklahoma city or south oklahoma city or edmond which is just to the north where i used to live, i feel like you have to have a storm shelter for so many people per square miles, at least. ideally, you should have several in the neighborhood that could fit your own family plus anybody else who needs to get in there. as we discussed a couple of weeks ago, a lot of people are discouraged from doing that and it could be costly and it's not the easiest thing to do to dig into that red clay dirt. >> thank you so much for your insight. we're keeping an eye on this tornado that has touched ground and it is on the ground. it just touched west of el reno. oklahoma is about 30 miles west of oklahoma city. this is a multiple vortex tornado. you know what a tornado looks like just looking at pictures and it has are that classic wedge shape. it's that funnel that drops from the cloud and hits the ground. when you're talking about multiple vortexes it's not just one area of rotation, it's multiple areas of rotation and as the storm chasers are out wat

tornado in moore, oklahoma, that missed my house by a few miles, we intercepted a tornado just east of edmondma city. >> this is a really serious situation, obviously, laults of people dead in oklahoma, and i don't want anyone out there to think you're doing this storm chasing for some sort of thrill seeking. there is a real important value to your work, isn't there? >> oh, definitely. storm chasers, our number one priority is to provide the ground work underneath the storm, and kfor out of oklahoma city, chopper 4, and also a team of storm chasers on the ground covering that dev stating ef-4, possibly ef-5 tornado that went through moore yesterday. from the second it touched down, keeping people warned. and you know, if those people didn't know that tornado was coming, the death toll could have been worse. but we were on storms further south yesterday and it had tornado warnings. when we heard reports of fatalities coming in, schools getting hit, it made us sick to our stomach, and the whole vehicle was silent for hours, for the rest of the chase, and we were trying to get ahold of friends a

i lived up in norman and edmond as well. no basements in my house, not even a storm shelter. you have to shelter inside your home if you can. or if you have a neighbor with a storm shelter, get over there as quickly as possible. this is a tornado going right into downtown moore, almost an identical place where a very large tornado went many, many years ago. maybe it was '99 or 2000. i wasn't living there, but right through moore houses were scoured from their foundations. >> if you're just tuning in, these are live pictures from kofr, affiliate in oklahoma city. oklahoma city and the area are in the path of a tornado right now, especially south of oklahoma city in an area called moore. oklahoma city proper had has a 600,000 population, but this area inside the warning is 170,000. an the tornado is, according to warnings, approaching an area of 170,000, within the warning area. you're looking at a picture right now of the storm, according to our radar. we're going to go to spencer, a storm tracker. he's following the tornado. he pulled off to get to shelter. not shelter but ou
