Image © Gene Blevins/LA Daily News/2013© || Coverage from Moore OK tornado Damage.. I was out tornado chasing for that week in the mid west and was on a TVS thunder storm 60 miles away from Moore OK, once i started getting info on large tornado was in the OK city area we turn around and headed that way. We tried to catch up with the tornado east of Moore but it died out and then we headed to city of Moore. We had get through massive traffic jams and drove along a side road on highway 35 and came into the Moore medical center mall area that look like a nuke went off ! I jump out of the car and went into full action news mode of shooting none stop for 3hrs. We figured we came into the scene about 30-45 minutes after impact and timing was everything as we got the last 3 rescues of nurses being taking out of a hart clinic building. Once done we had to drive about 12+ miles to the south just to get 4G coverage due to all the cell towers and power was out for miles! We had to send photos and video asap and spent the next 4hrs in a KFC parking lot in Purcell OK. The rest of the photos can be seen on my FB that tell the hole story.
