Announcer this is the cbs overnight news. Welcome to the overnight news. Im anna werner. Tornado warnings went up in maryland after a powerful storm split trees and flipped cars in the town of salisbury. Meanwhile, people in tulsa are still picking up the pieces after a string of devastating tornadoes tore through the region. No one was killed, but nearly three dozen people were hurt. Omar villafranca is there. Reporter the ef2 tornado hit just after 1 00 in the morning. It blasted through the center of town with 130mileperhour winds. The twister ripped off rooftops, shredded storefronts, and blew out windows. Eight people were trapped inside this tgif and Officials Say at least 30 people were injured by the flying debris. Officer Demita Kinard is with the tulsa police department. There were people who had some pretty horrific injured but none were lifethreatening, which is greatk and we had no loss of life. Reporter but many are wondering why the incontinuous storm didnt trigger warning sirens. At 1 16 meteorologists were monitoring the thunderstorm. But two minutes later it became a tornado. At 1 23 the National Weather Service Started drafting the tornado warning. But it was issued at 1 25 a. M. , after the storm left tulsa. National Weather Service meteorologist steve piltz says they were caught off guard because the tornado was low to the ground, making it difficult for weather experts to predict what was happening on radar and the storm intensified rapidly. Anytime we have these types of tornadoes we typically are a few minutes behind the first one. Then we begin to understand the situation better and we can be faster. Reporter the tornado moved in so fast that customers at this restaurant left their cell phones and purses on the table so they could go run for cover. Its worth noting that august tornadoes are rare. The last one in tulsa county was in the 1950s. Tornado sirens usually sound minutes but sometimes just a few seconds before a tornado strikes.

The unplanned aircraft can do what the rest of us cannot, flying into the heart of dangerous weather systems to collect data on the storms. 13 minutes. Thats the average time between the detection of a tornado forming to when it comes down, leaving people in its path scrambling to find a safe place. Oh, my gosh reporter unlike other weather systems, tornadoes form quickly, are hard to predict and even hard to track. Jamie jacob and his team from Oklahoma State university are working on a set of drones designed to fly into and analyze Severe Weather systems. Meteorologists are very good at predicting when and where the storm is going to develop but not so good as determining when a storm is going to form a tornado at a particular place or a particular time. Reporter theyre built to withstand rain, hail, and winds of at least 80 miles an hour, and they drop a device called a dropson that collects data from inside a potential tornado. Sought goal is to be able to get more data that feeds directly into those models and do that in real time. Reporter that Realtime Data can be a key factor in saving lives when a tornado is beginning to form. We can get to the point where we can warn an hour ahead of time. Reporter the drones need a few more years of testing before being put to use by the National Weather service. The technology is a little ahead of the regulatory processes, however, so we may have to wait for the legal side to catch up with us.
