they re probably 400, 500 feet lower than we are so they re probably now 700 feet above the ground. that s the area we are looking at. it is going to be about 122nd and let s just call it broadway extension just within that general area. so this is the next area of concern right here. as you can just see, the clouds are coming together. they re starting to rotate slightly and it s definitely forming. right before your eyes you can see we can t see the daylight. earlier we could see the color between there. it was almost like you just mix some ketchup and mustard together flp th together. that was the color of the sky. it was kind of odd. but you can see they re closing up and starting to rotate. that s pretty much north of 122nd just to the west of broadway extension. folks, the threat level is coming up. troy, coordinate with teesteve,
much more on the severe weather we re watching. incredible live images of the ominous activity taking place right now in edmond, oklahoma. take a look at these images right here just in the last 30 minutes or so we ve seen a number of funnel clouds forming. we heard from some of the reporters they d even touched ground in edmond, oklahoma then making its way toward i-35 in the arcadia area, then threatening luther as well. it is too early to tell what kind of damage has been done here but we know from this activity, we ve seen a lot of debris flying. are you looking at live images from our affiliate kfor. right now very dark. it is the 4:00 hour there. local time in edmond, oklahoma. people have been warned that
the tornado watches being in place until 11:00 for areas from minnesota all the way down towards texas. you expect that out of texas. you expect that out of oklahoma but you don t think of minnesota but in fact parts of minnesota are a part of tornado alley. as we go through today, tonight, we re talking large hail, damaging winds and again tornado are going to be likely but it is not just sunday. we re going to add in for monday as well and you notice for areas as we cross over the lake, you can see milwaukee, chicago, even into parts of areas including michigan. and this includes st. louis, kansas city, we re talking millions of people are potentially going to be affected by the severe weather. now in addition to the tornadoes of course, keep in mind some of these strong straight-line winds can do just as much damage and of course can be deadly as well. now the other area that we ve been following of course, parts of the southeast. we ve been looking at some very heavy rainfall, stor

to take shelter right now. this storm is moving to the east. arcadia, take shelter right now. we ve got significant debris. i just got hid up side the side by some quarter sized hail that s been coming down. significant tornado here with debris coming up. so those along arcadia lake there, right along route 66, if you live along route 66 there near arcadia lake, talking about areas down near pops. anyone within that area you need to go into your tornado shelter immediately. again you are looking at live video right now of a tornado there on the ground. that s now east of i-35 moving at about 30 miles per hour there. once again we continue to watch this tornado. this looks like it is going through phases here where it wraps up, then it comes down, then wraps up once again. let s go over to an advantage doppler hd so we can show the
