One person is dead after a car crash involving an off-duty Somerset police officer on Sunday morning, according to the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office.
we saw it looked like a lot of maybe city offices and downtown businesses were letting people out early. we saw a lot of people on the roads. took us lot longer to get anywhere than it would normally take us and that was earlier in the day around 3:00, 3:30 or so. then as we were out you couldn t take i-35 south. it was backed up all the way to 40 for a point. almost all the way to 240 at a point. h 4 was literally a 44 was literally a parking lot for a time. people filed off of i-40 coming down the side streets as well. obviously they didn t need to be interstate. a lot of people out trapped stuck with no where to go. thank you so much. kind of a scary situation right there. thank you, phil. i hate to wrap you up like that. want to get you back to jeff george with new information for
the chasers north of oklahoma city on i-35. this is the view he has, obviously, he s more in a treed area right now. you can t exactly see the clouds, so we ll leave that picture. as we go to the big picture, you can see just how many people can be affected here, some 323,000 square miles, 43 million people from wisconsin, down in through eastern iowa, illinois, including peoria, minnesota, st. louis could be affected here, into springfield, missouri, stretching down into arkansas and then, of course, over into oklahoma city we have that watch, that tornado watch. all of these marked in red are tornado watches, of course, they ll be in effect until the late evening hours and the one in oklahoma city and central oklahoma will be in effect until 10:00 p.m., so as chad said, things are just really getting going now and it is going to be a long and very active evening here regarding severe weather and regarding possible tornados. so we re talking some 2.2 million people in the probable
because my internet service is getting a little bit sketchy, but we could be getting a tornado warning at any time. let me do that. let me do that right now, chad. stay on the phone with me. samantha mohr at cnn, samantha, what are you seeing, how many active warnings out there right now? we have two active warnings right now in the state of oklahoma, brooke. you can see the one that chad s making his way towards. that is still at this point a severe thunderstorm warning, but you can clearly see that there s a bit of a hook here, which means there s some rotation possibly in the middle levels of the storm, not at the surface as of yet. this tornado warning further to the north of moore and north of oklahoma city, the one that has been moving across i-35 in guthrie, that still does have a current tornado warning on it, as well. that one is moving to the east at around 25 miles per hour. i think we have some video coming out of that particular cell. yes, here s a location one of
some of these storms with some storm chaser teams. chad, tell me, are you leaving norman, where are you headed, what more do you know? we are with the chase team out of the university of oklahoma. we actually are bringing with us, they are, a doppler radar to look inside the storm to be able to identify where the tornado might be, what storm might be the strongest coming. so which one that we want to chase. the problem is, this is not even so much a chase day. this is a day that i need you to be on your guard in oklahoma county, canadian county, anardarko, across the i-35. brooke, where you spent so much time, there are storms headed right for the same areas that have been hit so very hard. now, the only tornado warning that we have now has moved away from piedmont up towards guthrie. guthrie, oklahoma, you can see the storm to your west, have a few minutes notice, but you need to take cover.
