Two Tornadoes Hit Suburbs of Oklahoma City
As the twisters may hit the most populated area, this has the potential to be worse than the Moore strikes.
Oh, No: Now tornado sirens are going off in Moore, too.
The tornado (one of them) is expected to hit downtown OKC in the next three minutes, per Shep Smith.
Losing Destructive Power? Shep just explained something I don't understand -- something about a down-draft rearward wind, or such -- which may have knocked the storm cell down a notch in power.
UPDATE [DIT]: Casualties reported at a Holiday Inn in Earth City MO, about 10 miles NW of St. Louis. The ball game at Busch Stadium was called off tonight.
Just lots of confusion and bad storms. Watching KMOV for coverage.
MORE: No casualties at the Holiday Inn (Express)
