it is a rather blustery start to the new week. storm corrie, last night s storm, is tracking into the north sea and we are left with a north westerly breeze and flow. but high pressure is building. now, on that north westerly breeze, you could see one or two showers blow through. plenty of sunny spells around today. it s going to stay breezy throughout. gusts of 30, a0 mph, perhaps easing into the evening. and temperatures feeling cooler than yesterday. the maximum somewhere between seven and nine celsius. now, overnight tonight, we will get some clear spells to start with, but more cloud is edging in from the west. and that is a warm front bringing some milder air. still quite chilly overnight. the minimum temperature, three to four celsius. that warm front also could bring some spells of light rain and drizzle as we head into tuesday morning. it s going to be a rather grey start tomorrow. spots of rain will start to clear. a cold front sinking south. that will break the cloud up thro
be needed in the area. obviously our hearts are going out to those who are getting impacted by this. but, again be, as you mentioned, get into shelter if you are in the path of this storm. that is our biggest recommendation at this moment. ken garcia with the american red cross in central oklahoma, we ll touch base with you later. we ll go back to kfor. you see this horrific image of this immense tornado, reportedly anywhere one to two miles wide touching down south of oklahoma city. we ll go back to our affiliate kfor in oklahoma city. back to bob moore, chopper 4. go john. there it is, mike. fixing to cross sooner road right now, coming into that annexed part of the lake. luckily for the time being there s not there are very few houses in here, if any. ity the city has bought most of them out. but it s continuing to track straight east. as you can see, this thing hasn t decreased in size any. i m actually kind of getting a little closer than i want to be to it, but this thing
to the extreme southwest of moore. if you are anywhere near moore, you also need to take cover. the next town, if you keep going, would be like toward mccloud, but there s a lot of territory to cover here. we re still seeing those power flashes. we absolutely know that this tornado is on the ground in a populated area. you ask how many people are affected. right now the latest number for the tornado warning proper, jake, 170,000 people inside this warning. getting a little hard to find where this tornado is on the picture here. that s because it s getting a little wrapped in rainfall. rain coming all the way around the tornado. i don t need you out there taking pictures or ireports. i need you inside your home, away from the windows. there you go. there s the contact with the ground, easier to see now. away from the windows, inside a bathtub. cover yourself up. it doesn t matter if you just put motorcycle helmets on your head. very good idea to protect your head. this is the dangerous
obviously a large i two-had m e havoc in southern oklahoma. ken, where are you, what are you seeing and what are your roem recommendations for those in the area area? obviously, the number one thing is, get into shelter immediately. there s no reason to play around with this kind of storm. from what we are seeing, here in our office in oklahoma city, we are just to the north of where this actual storm is hitting. and we ve actually had the sirens go off a few times, and our staff and volunteers here in the office have had to go into the storm shelters as this storm continues to push through oklahoma city. so this is not something to play around with. just get into that storm shelter and stay in there until you hear this storm is has finally passed. be sure to stay safe. this is a big storm based on what we see on the images on the screen. ken, what have you heard from on the ground there in terms of
those people s homes and right into theirive ls. there will be a lot of cleanup here. obviously we can pick up the pieces, pick up homes, pick up thips. it s the people now, the safety of the people there that we have to worry about. many times, as the governor was talking about i had talked about this earlier today more people can be injured after the storm trying to dig through debris. there are still power lines that are live. there are still many, many boards with nails sticking out. there are still so many dangers outside that you don t realize because 15 minutes ago those dangers weren t there, jake. we were just looking at what looks to be a movie theater. this is the area south of oklahoma city, moore, oklahoma, population 56,000, just outside of oklahoma city, population 600,000. a category ef-3 to ef-4 tornado touched down. as you mentioned, it looked like a bowling ball rolled through the town. you can see the devastating path. we saw earlier the helicopter from kfor,
