You have to understand that in 2013 streaming services weren't as dominant as they are these days. Of course it was utterly frightening to see this tornado as it touched down live on the air from The Weather Channel via Oklahoma City's NBC affiliate KFOR Channel 4.
@@EaglesFan look up "ryan hall yall". excellent meteorologist. often calls tornadoes before nws does. VERY in depth analysis. live and for free on youtube when storms are predicted.
It's crazy to see how different the weather channel is nowdays as opposed to 10 years ago. Was watching the December 2021 outbreak footage and they're going to adverts every 3-5 minutes during Tornado emergencies, whereas here it's just wall to wall coverage to keep everyone updated and aware
To be honest; seeing the breakdown of Kim Cunningham (née Perez) on air while covering the immediate aftermath of the 2013 Moore, Oklahoma tornado was all too reminiscent of how Mike Bettes broke down on air while covering the immediate aftermath of the 2011 Joplin, Missouri tornado outside of St. John's Regional Medical Center.
I went home sick from school that day, and ended up watching the tornado coverage live on TWC. Can’t believe that was over 10 years ago. Thanks for preserving this!
Very sad, ten kids died in the school, it is a miracle that only 24 died, this tornado was high end ef 4 for most of the path, with 9 areas ef5 damage, miracle that 250 people survived in the hospital that took a direct hit
They actually put storm shelters off the interstate? We in tornado and dixie alley needs more of these. It would probably help if the locals knew where they are located.
I can't recall ever actually seeing them. I don't know where off the interstate they are. there aren't a lot of places *to* place them where this tornado hit. parts of i-35 is the only real option. there are some grassy, open areas near moore off i-35, but again, I don't recall ever seeing those shelters. if they existed, they weren't "advertised" very well.
Best advice is to stay off the interstate completely during severe weather as it limits your ability to find proper shelter. NEVER put yourself in a situation where you have to choose an overpass or a ditch, or where your decision gets made by the selfish actions of those in front of you who plug up the highway.
@@scarpfishexactly that's the #1 reason they tell you not to shelter there every overpass is different some can give you cover if there is no other way but it's easier to say they are all deadly because of what they do to traffic.
This happened 3 days after I graduated from high school 11 years ago and I felt sad for those that lost their lives and my family and I went to Moore a few days later to survey the damage this tornado caused
30:10 the reaction from the ladies gets me every time. The emotion in their voice and the silence that follows it is absolutely haunting. It really put the reality of the situation into perspective.
30:10, when I saw this in 2013, I went "Oh boy, that's big." Then we got the El Reno tornado, the largest tornado in American history with estimated winds at 296 MPH, make it the second strongest tornado behind the 1999 Moore tornado. I think this 2013 Moore tornado had winds at 260 MPH. In 1999, 36 people were killed in Moore. In 2013, 24 people were confirmed dead. So 1999 was deadlier, but 2013 had more damage overall. I'm going with 1999 as the worst of the two.
Why the video is so glitchy? I get that communication calls are glitching bc signal can be lost, but even studio video is lagging, making it hard to watch
Newcastle built a large public shelter after May 3, 1999. It’s pretty close to the I-44 exit on US-62. I was trying to make it there watching this tornado form to my right heading south on I-44. Once I saw the choppers over me on US-62 I knew I was safe and could continue south, so I didn’t need to stop at the public shelter and could get home to my own shelter in the event of additional supercells coming behind this beast. It crossed I-44 a couple of miles behind me. Scary day, it went from nothing to deadly so quickly.
People have balls to still live there. 4x major huge tornados just in the past two decades or so. Two of them didn't hit the city, but if they did... and one of those was 2.5 miles wide west of OKC.
Despite being practically synonymous with large, long-track, violent, and destructive tornadoes; I still think of Moore, Oklahoma as a nice place to live and raise a family. What draws people to live in Moore is the low cost of living, a great school system, and a relatively short driving distance from downtown Oklahoma City and the professional opportunities there. Moore is also a short driving distance from Midwest City; which is home to Tinker Air Force Base as well as being not too far from Norman, Oklahoma. Norman is home to the University of Oklahoma; where the nation's best and brightest meteorologists have studied.
True but the thing is though no matter where you go you're going to have some sort of natural disaster to worry about Oklahoma is a nice place to live this one was particularly devastating yes however it's just like how people in Florida are used to hurricanes in California is used to earthquakes it's just a part of life pretty much living here
You think they wouldn't move if they could? I've lived in Oklahoma my whole life. Money money money. I'd love to move! I'd go ad far as I could but I'll die here
My guess is that Linda Cavanaugh (the news anchor in question) was no doubt extremely horrified by the destruction in Moore, Oklahoma following the EF5 tornado that struck the city on May 20th, 2013 as she had spoken with doctors and nurses at hospitals in Oklahoma City following the F5 tornado that struck Moore on May 3rd, 1999. So she and her colleagues at KFOR knew all too well the severity of these types of tornadoes.
In reality we have had more EF5 tornadoes since then but they are not being classified as that it's been over a decade so it's not too far-fetched to think that there have been other tornadoes to reach 200 miles an hour
they were really kinda delayed, no? TWC seems to be reporting as if the tornado is still in rural areas or even near new castle (which isn't that rural, as anyone from the area knows), and then they show KFOR's broadcast which is clearly talking about it about to be hitting the moore warren theater. this thing was far, far along in its progression before they even swapped over to showing KFOR.
This is beyond their control because The Weather Channel is headquartered in Atlanta, GA; so it would take them time to get caught up with the coverage of the tornado by Oklahoma City's NBC affiliate KFOR Channel 4. However; when the National Weather Service office in Norman, OK issued a Tornado Watch for much of central Oklahoma at 1:10 PM Central Time, all three of the major TV stations in Oklahoma City (NBC affiliate KFOR Channel 4, ABC affiliate KOCO Channel 5, and CBS affiliate KWTV Channel 9) immediately suspended regular programming and went into wall-to-wall coverage of the weather. Meanwhile the city's Fox affiliate KOKH Channel 25 and Telemundo affiliate KTUZ Channel 30 suspended regular programming and began covering the weather when the thunderstorm which produced the Moore, Oklahoma tornado on May 20, 2013 erupted in southwest Oklahoma. When Channel 4, Channel 5, and Channel 9 suspended regular programming and began covering the weather; people throughout the Oklahoma City metro area and central Oklahoma began listening to one of their trusted meteorologists: Mike Morgan at Channel 4, Damon Lane at Channel 5, and the legend known as Gary England at Channel 9.
@@MichaelLovely-mr6oh In an internet age, as it clearly still was in 2013, it took one singular person looking at a local news stream in OKC. TWC should be able to afford that, though, I'd never expect anything of much quality from them.
@@holyjewel That isn't going to make them any more money than keeping things the way they are. There's no other real formidable opponent for national weather broadcasting so they have no incentive to try to be more accurate or efficient.
@@Sid-ho6gjagreed, the job is to report the news but this is more like sensationalism. Lance is breaking down live on air and instead of giving him a second to collect himself she asks him a question he literally just answered with his comments.

I gave her a pass on this. This was like the 3rd or 4th day that spring we had big tornadoes around, and the day before was the Edmond/Arcadia/Shawnee EF4 mess. Everyone was pretty exhausted by the time this happened, and then 11 days later it happened all over again during Friday rush hour.
Repeating them. Um and Ahhh. "Gaslighting" "Priming The Pump" Rick Rolled. "Comment Well" A Dozen caneras but these guy sitting each lap. Finger pointing camera angles where they nose is touching some in the background.
I prefer the coverage from the two male anchors in 99. Alot less unnecessary emotional priming. Sorry, not sorry, I hear a female voice, and I hear something desperate to emotionally manipulate me. 🤷♀️ Or nag me. Either way, it's not a positive reaction.
