OKLAHOMA CITY -

Severe thunderstorms and tornadoes have begun rolling across parts of southwestern and south central Oklahoma and forecasters say more may be on the way.

SkyNews9 captured video of a large tornado on the ground near the Blue Canyon Wind Farm northwest of Lawton.

At times it was a large wedge tornado. At other time, viewers could see several smaller stovepipe tornadoes touching down.

Cities including Binger and Lookba are now in the tornado warning area. Anadarko, Enid and Lawton are among the cities included in the tornado watch.

Firefighters had to rescue five people from their flooded homes.

After the storms move out sometime Tuesday afternoon, most of Oklahoma will experience cooler and drier air for the remainder of the week.

Extreme Tornado Intercept!!! Tipton, OK Tornado

We then turned back around where we turned north on a muddy road and noticed our friend Andy Gabrielson close to the tornado. We observed him backing up and noticed a sudden jerk in his vehicle, and his vehicle subsequently rolled (as you'll see in the video). Our demeanors went from extreme excitement, to pure panic as we just watched our good friend roll his vehicle (which was not from the tornado). TVN flew up to him as fast as we could and, thankfully, Andy only had a couple of cuts on him and we were able to pull him out, and continuing the chase.

Damaging tornadoes strike Southwest
Residents of the south-central U.S., including the outskirts of Houston, will spend today cleaning up the damage left behind by Tuesday's tornado outbreak.

The outbreak commenced at 1:24 p.m. CST on Tuesday when the Atascosita Fire Department reported a tornado on the ground near the city of Humble, Texas, just northeast of Houston.

At least 10 other tornado sightings followed across East Texas, extreme southeastern Oklahoma and northwestern Louisiana through Tuesday evening.

KTRK-TV reports that several schools in the Humble area sustained damage with Willow Creek Elementary experiencing the worst.

Substantial tree damage occurred around the school, which also lost power. School was in session when the tornado hit, but no injuries were reported.

Tornado damage in nearby Kingwood, according to KTRK, included numerous downed trees and branches, destroyed fences, broken glass and shingles ripped from roofs. A trampoline was also blown onto a roof.

"Thunderstorms capable of producing tornadoes also developed early in the afternoon in western Arkansas," stated AccuWeather.com Meteorologist Heather Buchman.

"In areas east and southeast of Fort Smith, Ark., storm spotters and local law enforcement reported funnel clouds with thunderstorms moving through before 1 p.m. CST."

Another tornado touched down on Tuesday afternoon in downtown Valliant, Okla., overturning railroad cars on the east side of town.

A few hours later, NOAA's Storm Prediction Center (SPC) received two sightings of tornadoes in Louisiana's De Soto Parish, which lies south of Shreveport.

The Shreveport Times reports at least one home in the parish sustained heavy damage with the occupants receiving minor injuries. Rescue crews had to work their way through downed trees to reach the home and injured.

The last tornado of the day relayed to the SPC reportedly damaged a home several miles outside of Florien, La., at 8:40 p.m. CST.

Four dead after severe weather in Georgia, Alabama en SouthCarolina
Tornadoes and severe thunderstorms have been damaging parts of the South, including Auburn and Montgomery, Ala., and areas north of Atlanta, since early Wednesday morning. The threat continues in northern Florida overnight.

At least four people have been killed as a result of the severe weather in Georgia and South Carolina.

Three of the deaths were reported south of Rock Hill, S.C., as a tornado damaged three homes Wednesday evening.

According to the National Weather Service, the Forsyth County Fire Department in Georgia reported that one person was killed when a tree fell onto a vehicle Wednesday afternoon. Forsyth County is located north-northeast of Atlanta.

**As of 1 a.m. EST, an extensive line of severe thunderstorms had pushed off the coast of the Carolinas, but continues to rattle northern Florida. These thunderstorms will continue pushing eastward overnight, threatening lives and property.

The strongest of thunderstorms can continue to spawn tornadoes, while many others remain capable of producing damaging winds, dangerous lightning and torrential rain. **

Local law enforcement spotted a funnel with possible debris near Laurens in Upstate South Carolina late Wednesday afternoon. About an hour later, a storm spotter reported "swirling debris" at his house farther northeast near Monarch Mills in Upstate South Carolina with minor damage and a tree down.

An unconfirmed tornado near Gordontown in central North Carolina reportedly damaged or destroyed homes and commercial buildings this evening.

YORK, S.C. -- Search teams combed through rural South Carolina on Thursday morning after a storm swept through the Southeast, killing five people and causing injuries in several states.

At least three people died and five others were taken to hospitals after a storm hit York County in South Carolina, according to the sheriff's office.

"This is considered a search-and-rescue operation at this time," said Lt. Mike Baker of the county sheriff's office.

The county coroner's office said authorities are unsure whether the number of deaths will go up.

A fourth person died in Forsyth County, Georgia, when a tree fell on a car, the fire department said.

Downed trees, damaged homes and buildings, and power outages were reported across Georgia and Alabama.

North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue confirmed one death in the state. An apparent tornado south of Winston-Salem damaged "multiple structures," according to the North Carolina emergency management.

Four people were injured in Mississippi, but their injuries were not critical, according to the National Weather Service. Homes were also reported damaged near Jones, Mississippi, the National Weather Service said.

A possible tornado demolished homes and vehicles near Opelika, Alabama, the weather service said. It was not immediately known whether anyone was injured.

Eastern Alabama's Lee County received "significant reports of damage," said Rita Smith, a public information officer with the county Emergency Management. "We've got reports of damage at an apartment complex, structures at a lake, mobile homes and trees down," she said.

In Auburn, Alabama, Jim Goldberg said at least half a dozen trees fell on his property and a nearby home's roof was damaged.

In the west Alabama city of Demopolis, damage was reported to roofs downtown and a boat was overturned at a dealership, the National Weather Service reported.

Earlier, a suspected tornado in Louisiana's Tangipahoa Parish moved a home with four people inside off its foundation, but no one was hurt, according to the National Weather Service.

Tornado damages Mall of the Mainland in Texas City

Damage from a tornado closed the Mall of the Mainland in Texas City this afternoon. A twister hit the shopping center around 1:30 p.m. Shortly thereafter, the Texas City fire marshal evacuated the building. "We had a report of a tornado that hit the mall," said Texas City Fire Chief Joe Gorman. "They are pretty busy out there trying to secure the property." It is unclear whether there were any injuries, but employees and shoppers were ordered out of the shopping center. "The structural integrity of the building has been compromised from the tornado hit and we are making sure people are out of the mall," Gorman added. Michael Pariza, president of Boxer Retail, which manages the property, said company officials are assessing the damage. "It appears a large windstorm/tornado - not sure which - hit the mall. It damaged some skylights, tore off a roll up gate in one of the loading docks and damaged part of the roof – the tilt arcade space adjacent to the movie theater." The Mall of the Mainland is anchored by Macy's, Sears and Palais Royale department stores. Tenants also include a theatre along with roughly 50 other smaller shops.

Storms injure 15 in North Carolina

At least 15 people were injured and at least 60 buildings damaged when a possible tornado struck in western North Carolina, the National Weather Service said Thursday.

The storms struck in Rutherford and Burke counties late Wednesday afternoon as a cold front moved through the western Carolinas, meteorologist Neil Dixon with the weather service office in Greer, S.C., said.

Ten people were hurt in Ellenboro in Rutherford County, sheriff's Sgt. Dwayne Wright said. Two of the injuries were serious, but Wright did not know the extent of the injuries.

At least 10 buildings were damaged in a 3-square-mile residential area, but Wright said officials expected to get a better count on the damage during surveys Thursday.

Some people initially were trapped in their homes.

"Everybody's out that we know of," Wright said. "As far as we know, everybody has been accounted for."

A woman in Ellenboro told WCNC-TV that a neighbor's roof ended up in her front yard.

Southern Tornado damage
Severe storms and tornadoes ransacked the South Sunday night into Monday, destroying homes and claiming lives.

The storms have been producing golf ball-sized hail and wind gusts greater than 60 mph. There have been 21 tornado reports from the strongest storms.

In Arkansas, tornadoes were reported in Cleveland, Dallas, Lonoke, Prairie, Arkansas and Crittenden, Ark. Overnight, tornadoes were also reported in Chickasaw and Lauderdale, Miss., and Dickson, Tenn.

Deadly tornadoes struck Alabama early this morning, including the Tuscaloosa, Ala., which is an area still cleaning up from a large and devastating tornado that struck in April of 2011. Strong winds ripped the roof off of a home in Tuscaloosa, Ala.

Tornadoes touched down in parts of Jefferson County, Ala., as well. According to local news, at least four people have been killed and others have been injured.

In Jefferson, one of the tornadoes destroyed several homes in the Paradise Valley area around 4 a.m. ET.

"The tornadoes should be dying down this morning as they head eastward into Georgia," according to Expert Senior Meteorologist Henry Margusity.

quote:

Yesterday's deadly Clay, Alabama tornado rated an EF-3
A damage survey by the NWS confirmed that the tornado that hit Clay, Alabama yesterday, killing two and injuring over 100, was a strong EF-3 tornado with 150 mph winds. A second EF-3 tornado with 140 mph winds touched down yesterday near Koffman, Alabama, and tore off the roof of a house and a barn. These are the only two EF-3 tornadoes of the year so far. There have been no EF-4 or EF-5 tornadoes yet. NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has placed portions of Southern Texas in their "Slight Risk" region for severe weather today, and portions of East Texas and Western Louisiana in the "Slight RIsk" region for Wednesday, and a few isolated tornadoes are possible in Texas and Louisiana over the next two days.

Are January Tornadoes Rare?

Tornadoes in January may sound out of the ordinary, but they are actually not unusual. Over the past three years, the average number of tornadoes in January is 17.

In the severe storm outbreak from this past Sunday into Monday, there was a total of 27 tornado reports. However, some of these reports were likely multiple sightings of the same tornado, so the actual number of tornadoes will be lower.

"Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia can have a severe weather season that starts as early as January," according to Expert Senior Meteorologist Dan Kottlowski.

These states are the heart of a zone referred to as "Dixie Alley," which spans from the Deep South to the Ohio Valley and is known as another hotspot for twisters besides "Tornado Alley."

"Thunderstorms commonly form when warm, humid air clashes with cooler, dry air. Since the Deep South gets plenty of humid air from the Gulf of Mexico, while getting drier air from the Plains, tornadoes can form," said AccuWeather.com Expert Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski.

"Dixie Alley" is thought of as the only region of the country that has three severe weather seasons during the fall, winter and spring.

"However, it is still rare for multiple tornado outbreaks in January," pointed out Kottlowski.

quote:

Indication of Early or Bad Severe Weather Season?

"Deep cold air has not reached the Deep South yet, so the severe weather season is early," said Kottlowski.

Without cold reaching all the way into the Deep South, Gulf water temperatures are warm. Any time the wind turns out of the south, warm and humid air is easily drawn across "Dixie Alley." High humidity sets the stage for thunderstorms violent enough to produce tornadoes.

Unless deep cold air reaches the Southeast, there are probably going to be more early season severe weather outbreaks capable of producing tornadoes.

"The overall potential for tornadoes for 2012 looks the same as last year," stated Kottlowski. In 2011, there was above-normal tornadoes with a total of 1,725.

2 killed, 100 injured in Alabama storms
Rare winter tornadoes and other severe storms struck Alabama Monday, killing two people, injuring 100 others and destroying about 170 homes, officials said.

Gov. Robert Bentley declared a state of emergency for the state's 67 counties, authorizing the state Emergency Management Agency and other agencies to assist communities and assess damage, The Birmingham News reported.

The News said 21 tornadoes were reported in Alabama and about a half-dozen tornadoes had been reported in Arkansas.

Authorities identified the victims who died -- both near Birmingham -- as Christina Nicole Heichelbech 16, of Clay, and Bobby Frank Sims, 83, of Alliance.

The house where Heichelbech lived was leveled and her body was found in debris next to the family's pool. Her parents, Darrell and Carol Heichelbech, were taken to a hospital. Their 13-year-old son wasn't injured.

Sims had been inside his manufactured home when a storm hit and the structure was thrown 200 feet from its foundation, authorities said. His body was found about 50 feet from the foundation. His wife was taken to a hospital.

Alabama Power spokeswoman Hallie Bradley said the storms uprooted numerous trees and brought down utility poles and power lines, knocking out power to about 25,000 customers, CNN reported.

By noon Monday, 15,100 customers remained without power, most of them in the metropolitan Birmingham area.

Parts of Alabama were still recovering from devastating April tornadoes that killed 248 people, injured more than 2,000, destroyed 7,800 homes and wrecked some entire communities.

Arklatex Region at Risk For Severe Storms

Severe thunderstorms will erupt over central and southeastern Oklahoma and northeastern and central Texas later today.

The same storm bringing a raging snowstorm from Denver to Omaha is the culprit behind the dangerous thunderstorms.

Major cities, including Oklahoma City, Dallas and San Antonio, are at risk for damaging thunderstorms this afternoon and evening.

The threats of the storms include damaging wind gusts, hail, downpours and lightning. A few of the strongest storms could also spawn a tornado.

Motorists who travel along the I-20, I-35 and I-40 corridors should prepare for blinding downpours and potentially threatening storms.

quote:

Powerful Storms Target South Wednesday

The threat for severe thunderstorms will return to parts of the South by midweek as a new storm system emerges.

As was the case a few weeks ago, the storm system may prove strong enough to generate thunderstorms that could spin up tornadoes.

Areas from eastern Texas into the lower Mississippi Valley and Deep South will be threatened by these storms, expected to fire as a cold front pushes east on Wednesday and Wednesday night.

The front will encounter an atmosphere rich with moisture from the Gulf of Mexico, which combined with warm temperatures in place will help trigger the storms.

Specifically, the Interstates 10, 20 and 30 corridors, including Houston, Texas; Baton Rouge, New Orleans and Shreveport, La.,; Memphis, Tenn.; and Jackson, Miss., are at risk of some of these storms turning gusty.

Wind gusts to 50 mph, large hail and always dangerous lightning will accompany the stronger storms, all coming with the possibility of causing property damage.

Downpours from storms will limit visibility as well, creating a hazard in itself for motorists caught in thunderstorms.

Since marine activity is year round across southern lakes and in the Gulf, any mariners should keep an eye to the sky and seek safe harbor at the first sign of a storm. Lightning is among the top killers of boaters.

There are also some indications that conditions could be favorable for a tornado or two to form from thunderstorms.

Even the slightest risk for a tornado should be taken seriously, and residents and visitors alike should monitor the situation throughout the day just in case.

The threat for severe thunderstorms will return to parts of the South today and tonight as a new storm system takes shape over the Plains.

As was the case a few weeks ago, the storm system may prove strong enough to generate thunderstorms that could spin up tornadoes.

Areas from eastern Texas into the lower Mississippi Valley and Deep South will be threatened by these storms, expected to fire as a cold front pushes east later this afternoon into tonight.

Violent Storms to Hit New Orleans to Tallahassee Saturday

There is potential for the most violent severe storm outbreak of the season so far to unfold Saturday from southeastern Louisiana to southern Georgia and the Florida Panhandle.

Thunderstorms will first fire across the western Gulf Coast from southern and eastern Texas into Louisiana tonight as a storm system now situated over northwestern Mexico gathers strength in the Gulf of Mexico.

The early risk from the developing weather pattern is blinding downpours and the potential for flash flooding. Houston is included in the communities at risk for heavy thunderstorms.

All of the ingredients will come together for a severe storm outbreak on Saturday as the storm system pushes across the central Gulf states.

Significant tornado damage in Harveyville, Kansas
A tornado reportedly caused significant damage to homes and several injuries in Harveyville, Kan., about 30 miles southwest of Topeka.

The small Wabaunsee County town of about 230 residents was hit about 9 p.m. as a severe storm system swept across central Kansas.

The Topeka Capital Journal website reported at midnight that there were nine injuries. One person was in critical condition and eight others suffered minor injuries.

Dave Sterbenz, Shawnee County’s director of emergency management, said the person in critical condition was still trapped within a structure.

Severe weather also struck in Missouri, with 70 mph winds reported in Clay County at 10:43 p.m. and pea-to-nickel-sized hail across the area. Two mobile homes reportedly were blown over along with downed power lines, trapping two people, in Daviess County in northwestern Missouri. A 30-foot-by-50-foot barn reportedly was blown over in DeKalb County.

Bill Gargan, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said his office couldn’t confirm late Tuesday whether a tornado hit Harveyville. He said a survey team would be sent out in the morning to investigate.

“We’ve heard there’s substantial structural damage,” Gargan said of the town’s homes and buildings.

Early Thursday it was reported that Gov. Sam Brownback had issued a disaster declaration for the area.

The Kansas Department of Transportation said Kansas Highway 195 was closed through and on either side of Harveyville until further notice. Kansas Highway 31 was also closed for a half-mile on each side of the city.

Emergency crews are on the scene in Harveyville, KS where the National Weather Service confirms a tornado struck the town just after 9:00pm

One person has been critically hurt, and several minor injuries were reported. A number of homes were damaged along with a church, and there are numerous reports of trees down and power lines down throughout the area.

Wabaunsee County Emergency Management says four individuals had been trapped in a structure for a time.

Law enforcement officials confirm everyone has been accounted for in the area.

One person had to be flown by air ambulance to a Topeka hospital.

A shelter has been set up at the high school for those displaced by the storm.

The governor’s declaration activates the disaster response and recovery portions of the Kansas Response Plan, authorizing state resources to expedite emergency assistance statewide, as necessary.

According to the Kansas Department of Transportation at approximately 10:00 p.m. K-195 was closed through and on either side of the city.

Also, K-31 is closed for a half-mile on either side of the city of Harveyville until further notice.

Drivers need to avoid area and use alternate routes until further notice. We will let you know when the roadway is reopened to all traffic.

Large and dangerous tornado outbreak on Friday
Tornadoes are forecast to swarm Friday through a very large and populated area of the nation, stretching from Illinois, Indiana and Ohio to Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama and other states.

After a brief reprieve from severe weather today, a storm system emerging from the Rockies late this afternoon will act as the trigger for another round of dangerous storms in portions of recently hard-hit states and others late tonight through Friday.

Although residents in the Ohio and Tennessee valleys will have dry but breezy weather for clean-up efforts today, the tranquil weather will not last long.

Late tonight, storms are expected to erupt across eastern Arkansas, western Tennessee and northern Mississippi. Hail will be the greatest threat from this initial round of thunderstorms.

In light of less than perfect conditions in the tornado and severe weather outbreak Tuesday night and Wednesday, it seems this potential event has many key ingredients coming together.

Warm, moist air will combine with strong winds aloft in such a way to generate powerful thunderstorms that may spawn tornadoes.

he storms should ignite near the Mississippi River late Friday morning into Friday afternoon and push eastward into the evening hours.

Cities under the gun include Nashville, Tenn., Louisville, Ky., Cincinnati, Ohio, and Indianapolis, Ind.

In addition to the usual heavy rainfall and frequent lightning that accompanies thunderstorms, these storms could produce damaging winds, large hail and tornadoes.

There is the potential for Friday's severe weather outbreak to be more substantial than the one that blasted through similar areas Tuesday night and Wednesday. That outbreak was responsible for 12 deaths and 30 tornado reports.

By Friday night, thunderstorms are expected to continue to whip eastward, rumbling through the Appalachians. If the storms remain intact, they could bring severe weather from Georgia through the Carolinas Saturday.

Stay tuned to AccuWeather.com through the end of the week as we continuously monitor and update this potentially significant severe weather outbreak.

Live Blogging: Dangerous Tornado Outbreak

The severe weather outbreak that threatens to bring devastating tornadoes to the Ohio and Tennessee valleys this afternoon began early this morning across Missouri, the Tennessee Valley and South Carolina.

A batch of storms that rumbled across central Missouri produced numerous reports of golf ball to baseball size hail. St. Louis was hit by with diameters of up to 0.50 inch.

In the Tennessee Vally and Carolinas, thunderstorms have rapidly developed this morning and will move north and east through the morning. Nashville was pelted by nickel-sized hail.

Portions of Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky have also been getting hit by some hail-producing thunderstorms.

The main threat from this initial batch of storms this morning will continue to be large hail and locally gusty winds.

As more warm, humid air streams northward through the midday and afternoon hours and a cold front shifts farther east, the damaging wind and tornado threat will increase.

"AccuWeather.com meteorologists are concerned that today's severe weather outbreak has the potential to be more substantial than the one that blasted through similar areas Tuesday night and Wednesday," AccuWeather.com Meteorologist Dan DePodwin said.
