again. you guys were just here last week. this is unbelievable. that it could possibly even hit again. this is the worst possible scenario, obviously. there is still an awful lot of debris on the ground, correct? yes, sir, there are. we just started picking it up two days ago with the fema people. i hope this doesn t scatter it all over again. we just have to start over if it does. right now i think everybody is more concerned about the people stuck in traffic on the interstate than anything, i-40 and i-35, i m looking, i can see i-35 has basically come to a stop out here in moore. they re trying to get them off the service roads so they can get wherever but they actually need to go back south where the sun is shining. we just talked to the highway patrol. they recommend people get off i-35, off i-40, head east or south, just get away from this. you can see right now, mayor, you can t see it but we re showing our viewers an aerial shot and the highway is just
off that road as soon as possible and head east of oklahoma city? that is correct. east and south. do you have how easy is it for people right now to get off those interstates? i haven t even been able to get to that location s i can t tell you how easy it is. from listening to just the traffic of my fellow troopers in the oklahoma city metro area, i would say that we re in a desperate situation and it s dire right now. people have to get off the interstate. trooper, i appreciate that. we ll continue to check in with you. we have national weather service now confirming a tornado near moore. samantha mohr just a short time ago saying that is heading toward moore. glenn lewis is the mayor of moore, oklahoma and joins us now. mayor, what are you anticipating in moore right now? well, we don t really know. we re sitting in a storm shelter right now and they re telling us to basically take cover. they have blown the sirens
east-southeasterly direction. so 90 mile per hour winds. let me just jump in here. national weather service now reporting a new tornado, where was that tornado? was it east, did you say, of the airport? control room? are you asking me? just east of will rogers airport, i m being told, a new tornado according to the national weather service just east of will rogers airport. yes. that bulletin came out six minutes ago. yes. that s exactly where. yes. can you show it on the map? this is the one i believe that you re seeing right here. that s the one that is near the airport that is moving off to the east. of course, very populated in this region. here is the track that the moore system is taking. so 7:37, so we re just about five minutes away from this incredibly strong wind. okay. three miles north-northwest of moore, we do have a tornado being reported at this time. it is moving right into moore as
what seems like at least an hour. we are all the way down to where the turnpike which is not that far south of new castle which is where the first part of the moore tornado touched down. all these people, i believe they re in a panic and we re going nowhere. the police are trying to help but there s four lanes going south literally on a three lane road, almost. people are driving on the shoulder, on the left shoulder. i see police screaming north with their lights on, just trying to make one lane. another police car would be going the other direction going somewhere else. i believe from what i m seeing here has happened on i-35 and i-40, we will lose a lot of people. there will be fatalities because people stayed in their cars, tried to drive away from this storm rather than get in their storm shelters and stay there. i thought earlier today, we got on the road about ten after three going from edmond to norman so we could stay south of the storms.
of downtown oklahoma city. it s jogged to the south a little bit but this is a very densely populated area that it s moving into and this is the one that wreaked havoc earlier as it crossed the interstate. we have the second circulation in yukon samantha, i m sorry, i m just getting more information. i understand the national weather service 90 mile per hour winds moving into moore. excuse me. just getting reports of that. you can see this cell right here which has taken a little bit of a southerly direction and is now aimed at that area that was struck some ten days ago or so on may 20th. this next cell moving in. then we have yet more development on the back side of this with a third defined circulation now. so moore is now in the crosshairs of this warning that s in place. i don t know if we can check the skies and you can show me how long it s going to take. you can see it s right here on the edge of moore, moving in that direction, more of an
