they go to the mall, especially during graduation. that s a new term, don. debris ball is a very new term. it s because we have dual pole doppler radar. we used to have doppler radar that would see in one direction. we actually have the wavelengths going in two opposite directions. up and down, the horizontal and also on the vertical. therefore we can term whdetermi we see on radar is not a rain drop. it might be a shingle, could be a leaf, could be a tree limb. it might be any part of a house. the radar knows the size of the stuff and it s saying, the information, this is not a raindrop. this is debris. the only way debris gets in the sky is if it gets picked up by a tornado. so you ll hear that word debris ball from now on. it s a new term. kind of like we lost the word squall line. we picked up the word debris ball. a tornado is on the ground creating damage. okay. we re hearing now the mall may
what do you have, jennifer? we have a new tornado warning that has been issued. this one is just to the west of norman. as we zoom in a bit for you, it s going to take me a second, because it takes a little bit to try to get oriented here. as we pull this up and zoom into the area, this is one in norman we re talking about. we have another tornado warning in place here. this one is in effect, it looks like, roughly, we can pull the time up. hopefully our producers can track this for us. can you pull that up for me? we have the rotation right to the west. very close to the radar. that makes it hard to see the tornado. with the beam going through. we do know we have signature there. as we track this for you, and we show you 4,000 people potentially under this tornado warning that goes until 6:45. we showed you some of the cities that showed bethel as well as he s going to add in a bit more for us. shawnee for 6:50. 7:02. again, this is a confirmed tornado on the ground. now, as we go b
