So that damage that we're seeing, of course, widespread as
Kendall mentioned, in parts of Oklahoma City and the surrounding
suburbs as we speak.
And Kendall, you can see it here.
We look at Oklahoma City and this unfortunately a scene
that we see a lot of times, especially in the
spring.
But here we are in our second severe weather season
and again, downed trees and power lines in the homes
being damaged as we speak.
That's right.
And so to see the scenes like this, the devastation
coming out of the Oklahoma City metro, it's, it's heartbreaking.
I've got a lot of friends and family that live
in this area.
And especially when you think about some of these towns,
So Valley Brook, the I240 area, this is where we
saw the majority of the devastation.
And so we know that search and rescue is underway.
We also understand that as of this morning, again, 7
tornadoes have been confirmed, but there might be as many
as 12 to 13.
And so this is a quickly evolving situation.
And as the first responders are getting out on the
scene and some of these hard hit communities as well
as the National Weather Service, their storm survey teams this
morning will also be surveying the damage.
We'll be bringing you the latest findings.
But more and more images coming in.
Here's another video coming in from Norman.
OK, I actually saw this on XI, believe this was
on OU.
So University of Oklahoma's campus right after the tornado ripped
through the area.
Oh my goodness.
In Norman, OK, of course, a place where the Storm
Prediction Center is actually located, but you can see the
winds screaming across that parking lot.
Unfortunately, several reports of injuries in Valley Brook, Oklahoma.
Again, you're looking at video from Norman where that rain
was coming down fast and furious.
We at one point had in the city of Oklahoma
from the city and Dell City had at least 35,000
customers without power.
And here's the reason why.
Kendall, you can see the not just the downed trees,
but the down power lines, the downed power poles, knocking
down traffic lights and antennas, the whole 9 yards.
And this is leading to a, a, a really dark
and they kind of create, you know, it's a dark
morning this morning in parts of Oklahoma City, right?
And you think about the fact that this occurred Saturday
night during the early morning hours probably caught a lot
of folks off guard.
This is Choctaw, OK power outages like you mentioned up
to 64,000 now in Oklahoma.
So those numbers just continue to increase.
And that's pretty much going to be the name of
the game as we watch as this cluster of storms
races eastward.
Would not be surprised with the additional power outages right
along the storms.
You know, we were just showing you a video of
Choctaw, Oklahoma and the mayor, Chad Alcox posting on to
Facebook earlier.
Just saying please keep the city of Chawtook, Oklahoma and
the town of Horeb in your thoughts and prayers.
Significant damage has been reported in both locations.
And they're, of course, thanking first responders for all of
their work that they were that they've been doing through
the overnight hours.
