The only thing more exhilarating that watching storms like this, is racing to get home before it hits, and barely making it indoors right before it does
This is the first time I've seen your video, Steven ... wow, what a thunderstorm and the winds, good grief, unbelievable ... I love thunderstorms and this one was a whopper, thanks so much for sharing even though this was 5 years ago, I'm sure you've had several since then. Stay safe! I'm surprised that there are people out and about driving around in this. The amount of lightning is quite spectacular too!
@@stevensmelton Steve not sure how much damage was done, would imagine there were trees down, as well as large branches, perhaps some shingle and roof damage as well this storm meant buissiness and had the bit in it's teeth when it went through
FYI: Yes I'm totally blind and use text-to-speech software to hear what I'm typing in case I make any mistakes. This way, I'm able to correct them right away. I also love to put the earbuds on at night. I have the screen curtain on, too, which saves battery power.
This was incredible!!!!! I've never seen lightning so active! Not even in a movie... I love thunderstorms a lot but I think this one would scare me to actually live through a storm as severe as this one!
This is beyond a severe thunderstorm, there had to be a Tornado in there somewhere. Oklahoma is truly the capital of the world literally for Tornadoes. It feels like you guys offended a deity of some sort and he carries a grudge.
I had a chance to Tornado chase there and I said no. I want to look at them from a distance, not get jumped by one. Best $2000 not spent. Props to you for having the balls to stand out there. Great footage. That rain looks like it would sandblast your skin
That's a Violent Thunderstorm with a lot of lightning and thunder !!!!! It sure is scary !!!!! Imagine if it came in the afternoon on a hot and humid day with the temperature around 90. Thanks for sharing !
THIS boy and girls is a REAL severe thunderstorm the reason very strong straight -line winds blowing at 60+ miles per hour i believe the wind in THIS storm were hitting closer to 70 mph. this is light years in difference than 85% of the other you tube videos posted as "severe thunderstorms" because they have heavy rain ,or frequent lightning,. this storm is rated SEVERE for the reason it producing straight-line winds of 58 mph or greater it MAY have also produced large hail though i saw none in the film clip so boys and girls-- when they say "severe thunderstorm",,,,,,, look at this film BEFORE you slap that label on yours for THIS one in is the REAL DEAL these things are very powerful and the can be destructive they are NOTsome light-to moderate thundershower
Steven Melton I from Sacramento! When I was in the military, I got stationed in Dover and at Little Rock AFB. We have boring weather back home in Sacramento versus the weather back east!
Damn, the 'water' was certainly not 'still' on THAT day. I envy your thunderstorms, we get nothing like that here! New subscriber from the looney-run state of California.
Another A+ severe thunderstorm! You people in Stillwater get quite a few severe thunderstorms! If this storm like this get to Nashville, every single dog would be scared,people will run for cover.
I was just watching plane spotting and the wind sounds a lote like a jet engine "amazing" we don't get storm's like yours in San Jose California the weather here is consistently boring! Anyway awesome video nicely done
I know the feeling. I too live in California but in Southern C.A. Specifically, I am in San Bernardino located about 60 miles east of Los Angeles. Like you said, we get nothing like the weather in this part of the country unless we get something unusual like the tail end of a hurricane. That happened out here in spring of 1983 and that wreaked havoc literally to just about all of our entire area. But other than that, it is quite boring weatherwise.
Does this kind of weather become normal to people living in areas where this happens a lot? Because in the uk we will get weather only half as bad as this but everyone makes a big deal
I love to watch severe Thunderstorms as it gets super darl out big huge winds making the trees move all over the place heavy rain i just dont like the Lightning but Thunder if not too loud I love to hear the thunder storms sounds
Great video Steve, try to get as much footage of storms as you can make they are so soothing to watch, maybe even set up to make some sleep videos to post i'm always looking around for nice 8 hour long storms with no loop's.
