Hopefully TWC can redeem themselves today to be considered "The Severe Weather Authority" again. Saturday was a poor example of that slogan.

TWC as of 7:38pm is not broadcasting commercials.
You can watch the tornado hunt video here, http://www.weather.com/tv/tvshows/live-stream
Commercials resumed around 8:38pm.
Though it's the least of their concerns, TWC should have a system in place to replace the LOT8's music with instrumental music only during severe weather coverage.
TWC is ending coverage at 2am ET.

TWC has their studio in "red mode" and the L3rds are now all red.  I am not sure when this started but clearly they are in a "storm alert" type of mode right now.

Bryan Norcross has joined Carl Parker at the expert desk. Two mile wide tornado in the OKC area.

The devastation coming out of Moore, OK just leaves you speechless. This town must have the worst of luck when it comes to violent tornadoes. :( This is the third violent tornado to hit that area in the past 15 years.

It's 1999 all over again. At least the tornado let up before it got to Oklahoma City itself.

I do not mean to be rude, but Chris Warren with Carl Parker is ruining everything.  Chris is consistently interrupting Carl with questions and comments, and it's hard for me to get anything out of this.  Carl was doing a fine job in the GFC by himself.  I do not know why Chris needed to join Carl.

I'm definitely not a Chris fan, and this is one of many reasons why. Same with his companion Crystal.

Mike Bettes said they are most likely going to sleep in their cars because they might not be able to leave the area and if they did leave they may not be able to come back in to the area.

I haven't heard any vocal music this morning so far.
