El Reno Twister Sends Oklahomans Running in Epic Storm Chase

- Video shot on Hwy 81, just north of Chickasha, OK. In the distance you can see a wall cloud, often a precursor to a tornado, and fairly intense rotation in that area was seen on radar.
Evidently someone on broadcast TV gave the word for people to get in their cars and drive south at some point, and even out here on this rural road, cars were bumper to bumper for as far as one could see driving about 45 mph...20 mph under the speed limit, with a potentially new tornado developing. Fortunately, it did not. I have up the chase right after this after having to take to dirt roads to avoid the traffic.
Evidently this scene was played out on every decent north/south road leading away from Oklahoma City.

I heard him say it some time between 7:45 and 8:30 pm EDT. That was most definitely not "hours before."

I heard it with my own ears- it was (Forbes?) on The Weather Channel who pointed to his big map and told people in a certain area that they "still had time to get out of the path of the storm". Not seek shelter, but "get out of the path of the storm". I posted on the Weather Channel FB page asking them to explain themselves.
Reminds me of the evacuation routes you and I saw on the way down to cover Ike.
I do not remember greg forbes saying that... And if he did it was hours before... I remember him saying that way before...
Just checked- my post on TWC FB page has been deleted.
I think you mean Mike from KFOR saying that. And even if Greg Forbes said that on TV wearher men are under alot of stress so its easy to say things. Exspecially having back to back systems like this
