On the fox extreme weather center. this is something that's very disturbing. >> yeah. the video that we got in from texas earlier this week, the same set-up could bring us the risk for large destructive, long-lasting tornadoes not only today, but tomorrow and into monday. unfortunately, the worst of the weather could come in the overnight hours when people are sleeping. so if you live across the central plains, we call it tornado alley. people are used to this kind of weather. unfortunately, we're going to have a severe weather set-up very reminiscent of the type of outbreaks that we see in th...

Now, needing to vent some of that radioactive steam. we have a concern with that now because we have had a north westerly or offshore flow blowing any radioactive steam or anything that's on the ground here to the pacific. well, now we have an onshore flow and whatever is coming out of that plant is going to be blown into the populated areas here. what will happen with surface winds, unlike the upper-level winds, these change with frontal passages and areas of low or high pressure. now we're going to get this onshore flow. in fact, eventually we're going to get a bit of a northeast wind. worst...
