 I'm Blitzer for Anderson Cooper, welcome to the podcase.

Tonrnado hits the centrel plains, and a tring of cars explode just outside a major American city. Let's get started.
We begin with breaking news what looks like the start of another round of punishing weather on the centrel plains. Four, yes four tornados hitting north centrel and northeastern Kansas, including this one caught on tape in the town of Corning.
--That just got, oh, my God, it grows huge, now.
--And it now move very fast.
--Holy...
--And it looks sucking those cloud.
--It's getting bigger and bigger. It's crazy.
Just a momnet you're gonna hear from a storm chaser who just made through a twist inside kind of customer made tornado tank. But first, Tom Sater is in the Wheather Center. Tom, it's been a quiet severe weather out there. Today, we first reports of four tornados that touch down in Kansas today. So what's the latest?
--The good news that these are extremely rural areas, but let me start with this note for you. The month of May is the most explosive month, the greatest number of tornados in the US, roughly around 384. Half way through the month on 15th of the month, we only had three. But on that day, on 15th, it was Hood County, Texas, in the fatalities in Granbury. Then it was east Oklahoma City in the community of Shawnee. And we all know about more that followed.
Currently on the map here, we have severe thunderstorm watches, you see,  with funnel clouds that were in western Kansas. But it was red box here. This is the tornado watch box. This is the fact until 10 p.m. central time. And this is where we had 4 tornados. The first one is here, we saw the picture there of Corning, did drop and it briefly dissipated for a while.
Then it was near the town of Minneapolis, not Minnesota. This is Minneapolis in Kansas. And then just south of there we also had one near Bennington. Salina, just north of Salina, we've got a small tornado as well.
Population of 48,000, but all the ingredients are ripe for tomorrow, another outbreak where we've sent our very young CNN meteorologist Chad Myers, he's on his way to Wichita. The threat of Kansas will move in tonight, not as strong since we lose the daytime heating. But the thunderstorm threat with hailling and damaging winds could go into &&&& area of Indiana, Ohio, southern Michigan, uh, maybe even torward the northeast of New England late tomorrow afternoon.
But the biggest threat right here, as you see here -- let's take this so we all can see it. It's not just slight risk area, this is a moderate risk, which again means the possibility of supercell thunderstorm. They have their own ciculation, they move sometimes in a random helter skelter fashion, and this is where we can see the tornados from areas of Nebraska through central Kansas, Oklahoma, this time east Oklahoma. But as we all know, the systems slide off toward the east. An interesting note, too. If you go back to the beginning of the year, January 1, the US was seeing the fewest number of tornados since 1954. It seems like Mother Nature is making up for last time. But we keep covered, Chad Myers as mentioned, will be in Wichita throughout the day tomorrow.
--So it looks likt it's gonna be bad tomorrow, but once again, you just tell us about Oklahoma City, 'casue we all know what they went through last week in Moore Oklahoma which is right outside.
--Well, the biggest threat there is gonna be obviously just debris. Any winds that kick up even from what we called outflow boundary, even of these supercells well to the west of Oklahoma City, or Moore, those outflow boundary can obviously stir up the debris which is gonna to be quiet dangerous. Any one living in this area really knows now, of course, to heed the warning, make the precautions now. But somebody we could reach in the range of EF-3, EF-4. So again it's a moderate risk which is fairy high on the scale of our threat.
--Everybody's gonna be really really careful out there, and take all of the precautions. Tom Stater, thanks very much.
