Moore, OK Deadly Tornado from KFOR live broadcast (May 20, 2013)

“Interior closet or bathroom won’t do it.” Those are some terrifying words, dang

You know it's bad when the radar runs out of colors and just does black.

“You don’t have time to think, you’ve got to act” is a absolutely terrifying statement.

I can't imagine how haunting this is. The same channel, the same weatherman, 14 years since 1999. Absolutely nuts.

Its crazy how calm the chopper pilot was when he was talking about it being directly over his house

horrible day...my daughter was at our sitters house behind the warren theater....she got kids in her cellar...yes sarah..you are still my hero!!!! cant express enough.

To anyone who grew up in Oklahoma in the 90's and 00's this guy is one of our spiritual dads. Hearing his voice immediately inspires both comfort and a call to action

There's a reason people in tornado alley and the southeast don't make fun of our TV meteorologists. I have yet to hear of one leaving the broadcast until the storm is literally right about to hit their news building. I remember one in my area left the Doppler radar up, and kept the mic on so he could continue to give people updates from where he was sheltering.

The meteorologist and pilot saved lives with their fantastic reporting. The pilots own neighborhood was being destroyed, yet he stayed focused, reported accurately while flying, and manages to provide life saving information. Fantastic job gents!!

These meteorologists are heroes. They are on TV, warning, the public, and telling them to take shelter while their own homes might be getting destroyed. God bless you all and great job!

KFOR tornado coverage is incredible, they definitely set the standard. You can tell they are in this to save lives, they keep so focused and tell viewers exactly what to do to survive. I have nothing but gratitude and respect for all of them!

I was in Oklahoma City when this was happening and I called my brother in Moore and told him to get away from his house immediately. He looked outside and said, "It just got quiet..." and then the call dropped. If you don't know about tornados, it will often get very quiet right before it hits. I completely flipped out, thought that was the last time I would ever hear him. The tornado ended up going just one mile north of him.

This guy def saved people’s lives that day. A+ coverage.

Oh man, I remember this well. I was still in school back then, and even though I knew there was a huge chance for a tornado, I didn't know there was a storm. Then, all of a sudden you could see the school parking lot filling up FAST. It was unlike anything I'd seen before. We didn't know why it was happening until a kid in my class got a text alert on his phone that there was a tornado warning for our county. We then turned off the movie and turned on this weather station, kfor. All of a sudden, the office just flat out said that there are so many parents in the office that everyone had to go look for theirs, and if they couldn't see them, go to the shelter immediately. Luckily I just slipped out with my friend's mom, and got to see the storm for all its glory. We eventually went to pick up his brother at the elementary school, but due to the tornado being 5 or less minutes from the school, we were instead rushed inside. Before I went in their shelter, I took one last glance at the storm. In all my years of living here and chasing storms, this was honestly the scariest storm ever. The sky was almost purple, and there was lightning flashing throughout the sky. In the distance, we heard a rumbling growing louder and louder. I knew it was the tornado, so I sprinted inside. Luckily, the tornado missed us, but it is a day that I'll never forget.

"Be below ground or out of the way". Sad, sobering, but great coverage. The poise shown by the people covering this was really extraordinary.

I remember being in this Tornado. I worked at a Radio Shack at the time and after the storm, I had a lady come in, looked horrible. Asked if she was ok and as she was leaving the store with her items, she stopped and said, "I lost a child in the Moore tornado..he was in the school that was hit." Something I'll remember for the rest of my life. rip to those that lost their lives.

I have never heard a newscaster say it's best to flee the area and get out of the path if you can't get into an underground shelter. However seeing the results of this monster, there is no doubt telling viewers this saved many many lives. Superior coverage. Your coverage was a blessing to many. Prayers to all those that lost loved ones and are still suffering from this horrific storm.

This guy did amazing on his storm coverage. He kept it together and said nothing but important info. It's remarkable

Looking at the helicopter coverage of the tornado and the broadcasts, I can't help but think that this kind of reporting was at least partially thanks to the heroics of Dick Gilbert. For those unfamiliar with that name, Dick Gilbert was the traffic reporter in Louisville during the Super Outbreak of '74. A tornado hit Louisville just as Gilbert was doing his traffic report from a helicopter, and he basically did a play-by-play of where the tornado was going over the radio. On a day when over 300 people died, only two died in Louisville, and many people said that either their lives or the lives of loved ones were saved thanks to Dick Gilbert's broadcast.

Notice how they didn’t even call the 1999 “the May 1999”, they just called it “the May 3rd”, because everyone knew there. So tragic, again.
