Local Police Frequency.

[TornadoJo]

Yeah watching news 9, channel 4 news and Koco.com.

[TornadoJo]

Easy an f5. You can see on channel 4 everywhere is flattened!

[Gorky]

Watched this from half a mile away. Had to bail east to pick up the wife of a chase partner and get them to safety. Car is plastered with roof insulation... Not good

[lorenzo]

Debris path now onscreen, just awful devastation - really hope those kids found shelter.

[PolarWarsaw]

That school is shocking.

[Boro Snow]

Unbelivable pictures of that school - just right throught the centre of it... sounds like more than one school effected from the TV coverage... scary

 

And the cars just strewn amont the road... lots of paniced and worried voices from the news team.

Moore Oklahoma - Significant Tornado damage.

[nsrobins]

Images of the worst kind coming in from Moore now. Piles of cars mangled together on the highway.

Any news from the team?

[TornadoJo]

I cant bare to watch. I think of all the kids in my class and how scared some of them get in a storm. I can't imagine being there as a teacher.

I'd be a wreck!

[Stu Robinson]

ya didnt really need to show that mate

The images will be all over the internet and will help with the Tornado intensity rating- looks EF4 from what I have seen right now.

[chionomaniac]

On sky news currently

[nsrobins]

Rescue teams really need to be mindful that this event is not over yet - watch to the southwest.

[Supercell 89]

The damage in Moore is just horrific really feel for those parents with their kids in the school. 

Looks like an EF5 to me

[Stu Robinson]

This is just awful - simply awful.

[lorenzo]

I think it goes without saying that although we watch in anticipation for what the systems are doing, the radar, the movement and tracks of everything. None of us wish this devastation as visible across Moore.

 

Fox and Sky Images are simply horrendous, whole hearted thoughts go to the poor souls affected

[SalopWatcher]

Never seen anything like this, one reporter describing the scean looked around as the camera panned onto a woman impailed with debris... horrible

 

Its weird to see such a quick coverage and live interviewes so soon after it happened... 

[Barbmac]

Been watching it unfold live on KFOR and it was truly horrific, the sheer size of the thing. Lots of destruction. Sympathies to all affected.

[Nick F]

The track of this devastating wedge tornado across SW/S OK City is said to be close to that of the deadly F5 tornado that ripped through Moore on 3rd May 1999.

I still can't fathom what hell it must be for those caught out by these monsters. The images of houses flattened and battered cars that look like they have been sprayed by bullets from flying debris is truly shocking.
