from norman, ohio. what can you tell us about the damage you re seeing there? reporter: yeah, the damage is extensive. a terrifying note for so many oklahomans, seven reported tornados across the state, two in texas, and you re getting a glimpse here, jose, of the damage left behind. a tree is toppled over across this entire area like match sticks, and as we walk up to what s left of this building, you can see just how powerful these winds were. jose, if they were not outright tornados, we re talking about straight-line winds topping 100 miles an hour. that alone capable of knocking down what was this horse barn here. fortunately, i spoke to the owner. they tell me no horses were injured, a small miracle as she huddled down inside a bathtub as this storm hit under cover of darkness, but jose, this was a fast moving storm. we know that people were warned with tornado warnings, and they were told sometime between 9:00
storm surge seriously, it is definitely one of those concerns, and also with that, we have to be worried about the wind and also those things such as tornadoes to note that these are things that can come up with wind and microburst and things like that. so, we have to take all these things into account. and, these are things that we put into our safety briefings, things we put into our instant action plans, so our responders know, do not discount anything. our plans are directed at all the different types of hazards and challenges, to make sure that we can mitigate them as easily as possible. you know, chief, you have said that you have been in the committee a long time, this is not your first storm by any stretch. what about the ferocity of the storm worries you? how fast it is moving is one of my concerns. even though it is a slower moving storm, with good wind, there is no such thing as a good start, but one of the challenges that we have when a
a category 4 hit before in the form of hurricane charley. a lot of people making that comparison. but this is also a slower moving storm. right, and that s why think the concern for rain comes in. the more rainfall we ll see over a period of time. we ll see these continues demott conditions continue. yes, the comparison is definitely going to be made as we have watched at that track shift over the last several days, and it s tough or emergency officials to give people an idea of where they will see that direct hit. you mention that, because of how large and how massive hurricane ian is, it truly does not matter if your community and your city is directly hit, if it sees that eye and that landfall. clearly we are talking about such a widespread impact with this storm, which is why we have been so focused on getting those evacuations going days ahead of this thing. thankfully it seems like many in the tampa bay area have listened.
by the time we go to bed tonight, you need to be where you intend to ride the storm out. i want to get to cnn meteorologist alisyn chin char. we ve gotten an update on what is a fast moving storm. and rapidly intensifying. the storm the winds go up 35 miles per hour in less than 24 hours. it actually did 60 miles per hour in that same time frame. we re up to a category 4 storm. sustained winds, that means constant winds of 140 miles per hour. gusting up to 16 5. forward movement to the northwest at about 15 miles per hour. the track actually, unfortunately, calls for even further strengthening. we anticipate the sustained winds to get up to around 145 before landfall. it s expected to make landfall as a category 4 but should
