it. not something you see often. this is fourth avenue. i used to catch the subway when i lived in park slope here. i saw flooding before, but never like this. this is the road that the new york city marathon goes down, when you re watching it go through brooklyn. it s a low spot. all of the water from uphill slides down. that s pretty incredible. the subway r line goes underneath that. an incredible amount of water in a short, short period of time. on top of all this, the tornados that we saw were just you know, for new jersey, annapolis got hit by a tornado, an area outside of philadelphia had what we call a wedge tornado, something you would typically see in the midwest or southeast. this went through annapolis. this was one of the first big weather events yesterday. there was a dam that burst.
where the storm hit about a mile from me, but of course, there was numerous warnings, including what they call a tornado emergency. and so when you hear that, you want to get, put as many walls between you and the possible tornado. that meant getting into a closet, a tight small closet which is even better. leave the coats in there so that s extra protection for you and you sit and wait until you get the all clear. i was able do do that and then go down about a mile from where i live and see all of the damage that ryan was just talking about. oh, my goodness. so when you talk about the warnings that people had for a storm like this, what they re calling a wedge tornado, wider than it is high, what kind of advance warning do people have? because it is remarkable that there, so far, no deaths reported. yes, it s very fortunate. so as you know, the technology
that may hit the interstate bridge and a nearby dam in weber falls. officials are calling for evacuations along that river. residents have been told if they are staying, if they do not evacuate, they need to write their name on their arm in permanent marker. flooding from earlier storms literal literally sinking that home along the cimarron river in logan county. the oklahoma highway patrol racing to rescue this woman. she had to climb out of a window in her home to safety. the threat in the region is not over. cnn s pedram javaheri live in the weather center with what s to come. let me ask you about what i m reading about, a wedge tornado striking jefferson city. what does that mean? anytime you re looking at a tornado that is wider than tall, we re talking about a wedge tornado. it s an unofficial term for a tornado but about 2 to 3% of all
whether or not to plant crops. this is an historic amount they don t want a bailout. they want a solution. they want to be able to be competitive in the marketplace and get their marking share back. that s consistently what we have heard. no sign of the trade war ending. you ll have to have bailouts like this for a long time if that s the only plan. thanks very much. all right. top of the hour. 10:00 a.m. eastern. i m poppy harlow. i m jim sciutto. the story coming out of central missouri this morning is one of amazement, harrowing. breathtaking damage from a so-called wedge tornado that made a direct hit on jefferson city, yet amazingly, fewer than two dozen known injuries and no known deaths there, at least not in jefferson city. elsewhere in missouri, a twister did leave three people dead. this remarkably on the eighth anniversary of that epic tornado that claimed more than 160 lives
tornados look something like this, and this particular storm, thunderstorms in the eugene, missouri, area just outside of jefferson city, of course we have a viewer that captures this, and you see the lightning strike illuminate a wedge tornado. very unusual to get them to be this wide. anytime you re talking about a wide system, a wide tornado, often people will tell you it caused damage to one property, leave another one unscathed. this is certainly something we re going to watch carefully going into the morning hours to see what comes of the damage left behind from that storm system and the tornado that moved over this region right before midnight local time across the area. notice tornado watches in place. stretches 700 miles from the south to the north. the strongest thunderstorms concentrated on the northern tier, working into indiana as well. anyplace in line here to next couple of hours. diving into the jefferson city tornado there. i just want to show you the vertical profile
