tornado. i m having to deal with the power lines down and try to get across some way back north and east. not the optimal way to chase this thing. i-40 is closed down to my south. we ve had a lot of power lines down and some real damage out here the last half hour with this thing on the ground. the bottom line is get down, get out of its way. take shelter underground or drive away from it. that s the best option to give you. it s a really bad situation as this thing rakes across south of i-40 and right here at banner. back to you. still showing 150 mile-an-hour with wind sheer. le let s go to chase. we re near the mustang area now. you said it made more of an easterly turn.
