In Oklahoma TV stations compete aggressively to offer the best severe weather coverage. When conditions are right for potential severe each station would have at least three - if not more - teams of trained spotters deployed, a helicopter for each station, and multiple forms of advanced radar to track storms.

While there are a number of amateur, academic and even weather-tourism spotters around, the majority of spotters would be affiliated with television stations, and citizens know to be following weather reports, resulting in significant advanced notice of approaching storms.
