1
So taking a live look outside, it's very humid and it's partly cloudy for now.
2
We are still primed and ready for another round of severe weather.
3
It's going to feel quite sticky later on this afternoon.
4
Dew point, which is the measure of moisture in the atmosphere right now is the 70s.
5
And a brief break on Wednesday before our next storm system moves in, but it's not going to be quite as potent as this last time.
6
So we will be tracking it for you today.
7
We'll have our crews out once again.
8
Crews including our very own Reed Timmer from the Form 1 Storm Team, Dominator 4.
9
Great job yesterday covering the storms.
10
You too.
11
You led the Today Show.
12
Wow, yeah.
13
I didn't know if you knew that.
14
Just fun, yeah.
15
Big deal.
16
Okay, so we're gonna show some of your incredible video here.
17
Well, right here you can see it forming just near Edmond.
18
That's just west of I-35 or on the bridge of I-35
19
and you can see the debris flying around and it became violent really fast.
20
I mean, even the small tornadoes can be very strong.
21
Across I-35 right there, you can see there's no cars in the path, thankfully.
22
And a continued east.
23
You can see the debris flying around.
24
And this is as we're going east, and you can see this tree just rocket, skyrocket up at like 200 miles an hour, and that's that updraft inside the tornado.
25
And there are suction vortices going around the back behind us as well.
26
Explain what that is to the viewer's suction vortices.
27
Those are the miniature tornadoes that will spin around inside the main circulation.
28
So above us, there is a cone, And that's one of those suction vortices in front of us that's ripping the trees out of the ground.
29
You can see the circulation, the main circulation above right there.
30
And here we're a little bit behind the tornado.
31
How far away are you right there?
32
Right there, probably a couple hundred yards, I would say.
33
I mean, it was vibrating, felt like it was gonna lift off the ground any second, but that's just the instinct that tells you to get out of there.
34
Well, great job today.
35
And I know we're gearing up for round two, so hopefully you can find some rest somewhere.
36
I think you said like no sleep.
37
Yeah, I think we both probably had no sleep.
38
I don't know why I'm still amped up.
39
Jolene brought me Starbucks.
40
All right, we'll have more coming up in the next half hour.
41
Good job.
42
All right, sir, you're done.
43
Did that make sense?
44
Yep.
45
I probably had two and a half hours.
46
I don't know.
47
I can't go to sleep after that.
48
I was just like, it's too late to explain.
49
Yeah, I had about two and a half actually too, exactly.
50
Yeah.
51
But no, I'm not used to it.
52
Okay?
53
Oh, yep.
54
Okay.
55
And I got into the studio and realized why I was down all morning but it's okay now.
56
You said that you have issues with that.
57
Yeah, every tornado.
58
I'm out. If the
59
stream doesn't work today, then we're all fired.
60
We're all getting asbestos poisoning from the brakes anyways.
61
They bring it down about halfway.
62
We gotta put the tire on and have him do it.
63
Gotta get the gear prepped for the chase.
64
In Dom 1 that includes a trash bag for all the luggage in the backpack, because it's usually soaked afterwards.
65
It's a lot of storm chasing convergence already, and we haven't even gotten out there.
66
Haven't seen Reed in a while.
67
Should be fun.
68
Now welcome to the Freak Show here.
69
Hi Freak Show, hey.
70
Good to see you too.
71
Glad you made it.
72
You beat Kentorey.
73
Is he here too?
74
No, I didn't see him yet.
75
Yeah, you better hurry.
76
Yeah, look at the satellite.
77
It's already blowing up here.
78
Yeah, I want to stop the dry line right before I came in.
79
You guys going south?
80
Yeah, oh yeah.
81
No, we want to be with you.
82
I mean, we want part of the circus.
83
I'm not going to get away from that.
84
Are you sure?
85
Sure you want part of this?
86
There's even a lady two doors down that just randomly came in and started to be cleaning.
87
And that's Connor, the future of storm chasing.
88
Right, I remember.
89
Hi, Connor.
90
Hey, how you doing?
91
Yeah, he's 50 tornadoes at age 21 now, right?
92
What?
93
Started at 14 when you started chasing.
94
14?
95
C-O-W-A-N.
96
He's just a little womanly attached to it.
97
We gotta get, uh-oh.
98
We gotta get a kid.
99
We're a good kid, Tori here, don't we?
100
I'm going to show you another day.
101
This one again promises to be one with Tori.
102
Report on the show now in the office of Tori.
103
Listen, the Homeowners Association calls me like they think I'm somebody.
104
I am nobody, but they call me and they always ask me about the guys next door.
105
So I always protect them.
106
I said, well, Papa will go mow the grass and we'll do this and we'll take care of that.
107
And so I try to protect them.
108
I'm thinking, no PhD students just trying to do the right thing in life.
109
Are you taking the puppy?
110
Oh no, no, but I love her.
111
Always did.
112
Yeah, she's a sweetheart.
113
Yeah, she's so cute.
114
Your fingers out, I can drop it.
115
What's going on?
116
How are you?
117
What a day yesterday.
118
You missed all the fun.
119
I know.
120
Up there in Kansas or something, right?
121
Up there with Dorothy?
122
I was trying to get world news done.
123
I know, I know.
124
Unbelievable.
125
Yeah.
126
So how are you doing today?
127
Are you chasing with us?
128
Kind of.
129
We're doing a bunch of...
130
That's probably a smart idea.
131
Thank you so much for all your help though.
132
I have a cleaning service too, so How are you doing?
133
I'm doing good.
134
Yeah, you know I'm how good can I be after an hour and a half of sleep?
135
I'm doing television at 5 a.m.
136
Yeah, do you have a dream kid Tori?
137
Hello My hands, yes, you know I've had a lot of women tell me that I don't know what it is about
138
I'm giving zero early 30.
139
And I thought, who is this guy?
140
I've never seen him.
141
I don't watch Channel 4 much. But...
142
Oh, oh, so they had us on Channel 4.
143
No, I saw your hands and I thought, he has the nicest hands.
144
Oh, thank you, John.
145
Who knows about that?
146
Who cares about that?
147
They would have a nice hands.
148
Does anybody know whose iPhone this is?
149
Hey, guys, who's missing an iPhone?
150
It's a complete circus here.
151
We need to get on the road.
152
Half these people, I don't even know who they are.
153
This circus, it has a purpose, right?
154
Warning?
155
Getting the word out?
156
Yeah, right now we're heading south and the whole purpose of heading south today is not only for research,
157
but to stream video and keep people worn in the path of the storms and that's what we do best.
158
If you're going to chase tornadoes, you better be in a vehicle that can keep you safe.
159
So, this is what we call the Dominator here.
160
It's an F350 pickup.
161
And what they've essentially done to this thing is coated with armor.
162
That stops the flying debris.
163
We have Ginger Zee and Jim Cantore both chasing with us today.
164
So, it's kind of crazy that we're having all these big news and weather personalities out with us.
165
Thank you for letting us be with you.
166
No, thanks for coming.
167
Okay.
168
Yeah, you're a good luck charm.
169
Every time you come, we get a tornado in the Ozarks.
170
We're not in the Ozarks.
171
We're not in the Ozarks today.
172
Yeah, it's happening.
173
Does D2 have air conditioning since I'm riding in there yet?
174
Or am I going to get a good...
175
You'll get a good lather going in there in all these vehicles.
176
It'll be a glisten.
177
I'll wave.
178
You guys ready?
179
You stay at Tim's?
180
What's happening?
181
No, we're going to, we go, I go to, we're staying at a hotel.
182
Oh, well I have a hotel room.
183
Dominator 2, which I will be riding in just down there.
184
They have an anemometer, we'll be doing research.
185
They're coming.
186
I'm on it.
187
Yeah.
188
South on I-35.
189
Yeah.
190
Gosh, I'm just happy Reid let me come along.
191
This is going to be a lot of fun.
192
World News Nightline tonight.
193
Got a lot to do in the next hour and a half.
194
storms too.
195
Alright listen I'd love to play but we gotta go.
196
I know everybody says no
197
but look at this circus how could the HOA not be spying on us are you kidding me?
198
Yeah you're only allowed to have one vehicle in your driveway
199
and look at a circus here you can see the two tour vans You've got Dominion, you've got to make friends with somebody with a warehouse.
200
Yeah.
201
Alright, if you make something with friends with a warehouse, you can go park the vehicles over there.
202
Well, we can park these in Cape Four, which we should do.
203
Man.
204
I'm going to start the street.
205
Steamy back here.
206
Yeah, Cape Four choppers are going to try to get the aerialists going into the tornado.
207
They can like zoom into the license plate.
208
Oh, dude.
209
That's what I'm talking about.
210
The people watching the live stream at tvandweather.com get to hear the commotion of us driving into a tornado.
211
Might not be a good thing.
212
And, yeah, you know there's none of that usually.
213
I had a couple people tweet me yesterday, George, did you ever get around to changing your pants?
214
I'm like, come on.
215
Really?
216
Let's go to Reid Timmer in Dominator 4.
217
He's also down in that part of the state, closing in on those storms.
218
Reid, what do you have?
219
Hey, right now we're headed west on Highway 9, and we're going to drop south out of Blanchard.
220
Right now we've got sun, but we've also got some clouds too, and that's going to actually increase the wind shear ahead of these storms.
221
It's going to keep the surface winds relatively weak, but the winds just above the ground are very strong, probably 45 knots.
222
And we should be on these storms shortly.
223
We'll have visual probably within about a half hour.
224
Okay, Reid, appreciate that.
225
And the Dominator right there.
226
So here's the bottom line.
227
If you're tuning in, here's Oklahoma City right here.
228
There is a dry line just to our west, and storms are now firing from the southeast side of Chickasha.
229
You know what I bet knocked it off there, Reed?
230
Was the frickin' shaking we did yesterday.
231
Remember that?
232
I'm telling you right now, it just rocked that thing right off there.
233
They made both my legs numb too the whole time.
234
Just freaking chilling.
235
I bet we see big tornado today.
236
I just think, I just feel like we have bojo right now.
237
In the last few days I've been
238
doing so much driving compared to usual and you know a lot less forecasting on my own but
239
that's what Reed Timber is for.
240
And I've been doing all forecasting making decisions uh well yesterday and then trying to do like logistics.
241
I hate that the two together is just not not for me.
242
It feels good to be back.
243
You get to know these people so intimately when you're in the car with them for so long.
244
And it feels like you're back home.
245
It's kind of nice.
246
Especially since I moved since then.
247
I don't really have a whole close-knit group of friends yet.
248
And this feels like it.
249
Ginger!
250
Do I do a quick picture?
251
Okay.
252
Quick picture.
253
Can you email it to me?
254
Can you take this photo?
255
Yeah, please.
256
Alright.
257
Wow.
258
Okay, now action shot.
259
Alright, we nailed it.
260
Thanks.
261
Done.
262
We'll see you on the other side.
263
We'll see you on the other side.
264
I don't know if I like to eat something
265
that I have to chew like a hundred times before I can swallow it.
266
Wait, like a real gizzard?
267
That's weird.
268
Like a real taco and a real gizzard.
269
A gizzard.
270
A deep fried gizzard.
271
Oh.
272
It's really chewy.
273
You sure you don't want one?
274
Yeah, I'll try it.
275
Really?
276
Yeah, why not?
277
Just fish yourself down here.
278
Really?
279
And this is storm chasing food?
280
Fried gizzard.
281
That's true here.
282
Mmm!
283
I'm still true.
284
Mmm, so good.
285
Sea storms are lining up now from east of Pawka City down to near Stillwater.
286
Those are just now forming.
287
And then these are getting to be pretty big time now.
288
Southwest of downtown Oklahoma City all the way back down into Cotton County.
289
And we have three supercells here.
290
So we're just coming upon this cell right here.
291
blowing up along the dry line and we can see them right overhead.
292
That's good.
293
Good.
294
That looks pretty good too.
295
Heading straight for Norman.
296
Do you want to take this one?
297
No, just wait here.
298
No sir.
299
Just wait?
300
Yeah, it's coming right at us.
301
I did some in there but we'll do it.
302
And they also want a thing where you're just standing for 30 seconds.
303
Let's do that right now right now.
304
Yeah, let's do that scanning thing.
305
We have a rain-free base here that we're looking at right now.
306
You can go to our website at tvnweather.com slash live.
307
It's a little bit high base right now, but there is a tornado.
308
You can pull out one of that if that's easier.
309
Is that good?
310
This is the exciting part where I get to stand and nod.
311
I don't see any rotation.
312
Mike?
313
Time to go?
314
Yeah, you ready?
315
Your photo cloud's been reported to the south.
316
The one just south of us.
317
You can see the back side of it.
318
Unless you think this one has a chance.
319
All right, we go on this muddy road.
320
This one has been taking over.
321
There's no doubt about it.
322
Still a big mid-level lock.
323
It's got a big, broad circulation on it.
324
And it is heading right into Moore.
325
We are under a tornado watch until 10 PM tonight.
326
There's a dowel.
327
Where are those guys going?
328
Back to Norman?
329
They've got to be trying to stay up with that cell.
330
I mean, they're not going to...
331
The problem is the front's going to undercut that one pretty soon with these northeries behind it.
332
I mean, do you see the front right here?
333
Yeah, it's going to start chewing in that other area, right?
334
This is a supercell.
335
There's the mid-level lock there, just right on the west-northwest side of Bridge Creek.
336
This is going the wrong way in a huge hurry.
337
Talking about Moore and Norman for this storm right here.
338
There's your time of arrival on that.
339
Let's jump back up to this storm up in the Newcastle area with Bob Moore Chopper 4.
340
Go, John.
341
Yeah, Mike, there it is.
342
It's continuing to lower down a little bit more, and it appears at this time that it's definitely getting better organized.
343
John, I need you to push in a little bit.
344
There's so much haze.
345
I just looked at radar.
346
It's going to come down right now.
347
I guarantee it.
348
I think it's already on the ground.
349
There's suction spots.
350
Folks, this is terrible, terrible for Moore and Newcastle.
351
I see a tornado now on the ground.
352
I think it is on the ground in these rotating rain bands.
353
Let's go to the south Doppler, and I can show you.
354
It is an absolute sink drain.
355
Sink drain right there.
356
That is a tornado.
357
Those rain curtains are rotating.
358
That's a vortex on the ground.
359
That is a tornado right there.
360
It's going to hit the Newcastle casino if it doesn't veer off.
361
Yeah, look at the front.
362
On the Norman Storm.
363
What?
364
Tornado warning on the Norman storm.
365
I just asked my girlfriend to get on 35 and drive north to shoot some tornado video for us.
366
She's going north of Norman.
367
She's going to be pissed.
368
TDWR?
369
Yeah.
370
See, I can't get anything.
371
Is that Verizon right there?
372
I'm roaming on Verizon.
373
Sorry, man.
374
I can't get data for some reason.
375
I can't.
376
I can't either.
377
This stuff could line out to the north, just like Wichita did yesterday, Oklahoma City stuff.
378
Yeah, exactly.
379
Safe situation, yeah.
380
Alright. So if that deserves...
381
Woohoohoohoo!
382
Big group!
383
Big group down south.
384
Alright, two tornado warnings and...
385
tight up there.
386
Southwest and more.
387
Could've sat in Reed's backyard.
388
That's what I suggested.
389
Yeah, it's heading right for my house.
390
Yeah, it's going straight through North Norman.
391
It's heading right for Tecumseh.
392
Yeah, we should have stayed home.
393
No, it's early.
394
No worries.
395
All the storms will go crazy today.
396
Very early.
397
Yeah, tornado warning from my own hometown right now.
398
Heading straight for my house.
399
I'm going to call in, see if I can call in Channel 4 and see if they have any updates.
400
Linda Kavanaugh has important information.
401
Very quickly, police department says they're getting a lot of phone calls.
402
Oklahoma City, they said they have no public shelters.
403
Shelter in place as these storms approach.
404
Also, parents from Middale, the buses are being held there.
405
Until further notice, your children will not be on buses at this moment.
406
Mike.
407
Linda, appreciate that.
408
Continuing to track what I believe is a tornado on the ground.
409
I wonder, is he going to stay south or is he going to go back north?
410
He's going to stay south, huh?
411
These are the decisions that I was having a hard time making yesterday, logistically.
412
You know, it's just luck of the draw.
413
Storm chasing's all luck.
414
Mostly luck.
415
We're gonna have to call in pretty soon here.
416
What? That happens.
417
That's just a bumpy road.
418
It's gonna happen.
419
Don't worry.
420
Still going south.
421
Are we going the wrong way?
422
No, not the wrong way.
423
There's not going to be too many wrong ways today.
424
I just, uh...
425
It's a pretty solid hook on the one up to the north, but...
426
I trust him.
427
You can see the base down there.
428
The southern one's the best one.
429
Oh, yeah.
430
Without a doubt.
431
Without a doubt.
432
I haven't had a radar update yet.
433
Oh, God.
434
I just got new data, man.
435
Thank God.
436
Look, look at that.
437
East central Stevens County over into southern half of Garvin County and far northern Carter County.
438
Let's go back up to Bob Moore Chopper 4 with this, what I think is a tornado on the ground.
439
Go, John.
440
Yeah, Mike, right now we're kind of hovering.
441
And as you can see the lowering, hey, Travis, go to your right real quick.
442
Go to your right.
443
Zoom in right there, right there, zoom in.
444
Come back to your left iris up.
445
There it is, Mike.
446
There it is.
447
If that is a tornado, there it is.
448
It's right there on the ground.
449
That's the clearest defined or definition that we've seen from the air.
450
A definite cone on the ground.
451
Law enforcement reporting tornado on the ground for sure.
452
Between Moore and Norman.
453
Tornado on the ground?
454
Yep.
455
Oh, that is literally the backyard.
456
Yeah.
457
Right over Newcastle High School.
458
That is a tight little thing, man.
459
Wow, school's in session right now.
460
It's a Monday.
461
It's not summertime yet for the high schoolers.
462
We're in good position here.
463

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
