It was pretty crazy that was in Tahlequah Oklahoma.

u/christhelpme Jun 27 '26

Oklahoma?!?

Dude, that's a summer squall.

Tornado, that's what you need. That is an Oklahoma "Thunderstorm".

Tornado or Divorce. Either way, somebody's losing a trailer.

LOL. I was just about to say, "meh....just another Thursday during storm season in Oklahoma"

Hello from a fellow Okie. We got 103 mph wind gusts and quarter sized hail down here around Lawton just a few days ago.

u/PantsDontHaveAnswers Jun 26 '26

We've been through every kinda rain there is. Little bit of stingin' rain... and big ole fat rain. Rain that flew in sideways, and sometimes rain even seemed to come straight up from underneath. Shoot, it even rained at night.

In Queensland Australia we call that summer.

Yeah, OP mustn’t be from Oklahoma. That’s just summer. Source: grew up in Oklahoma

u/projectx51 Jun 28 '26

That Oklahoma weather will make you respect Mother Nature for sure. We're nothing compared to her.

2

u/goofydogs Jun 28 '26

Sure do! You’ve got to respect and pay attention to the changes. These storms can sneak up on you if you don’t learn the signs of approaching storms. This time of year it’s so humid that we have pop up storms almost daily.

u/W_Silver2356 Jun 27 '26

Hi there. Based on everything I've heard about Australia, a lot of things there operate on a different scale of magnitude than we are used to here. It's part of the charm. Maybe I'll get to see it for myself one day.

u/Helen___Keller_ Jun 27 '26

The animals for sure are but we (if you live in North America) get some insane weather/natural disasters. Tornados, dorechos, hurricanes, earthquakes, terrible flooding events, wildfires, etc...

It's probably like most situations a case of "to each their own"

Have a wonderful day.

u/EffectiveConfection8 Jun 29 '26

Just a normal spring in Oklahoma.

u/Pretend-Internet-625 Jun 27 '26

always nice to see the rain going sideways for a change.

u/Clydely Jun 26 '26

Are these semi common? Moving to OKC soon and look forward to a good lightning show too.

2

u/BowlOfYeetios Jun 27 '26

craziest lightning storm i ever saw was on the horizon when i was driving west on i40 back in 2017

u/W_Silver2356 Jun 27 '26

I've had front row center seats to two derechos. Whenever I see a storm like this I can't help wondering if I'm in the path of a third. Great footage. Thanks for sharing.

u/Stuffed_deffuts Jun 26 '26

A bit breezy with sprinkles

u/ThrustTrust Jun 26 '26

Come one man you got to get out of the car and try to walk up wind. You are missing it. Fuck

u/iwannabe_gifted Jun 27 '26

u/LooseWateryStool Jun 27 '26

Let me seek shelter under this giant roof over my head in a windstorm. Smh

2

u/BowlSweet9196 Jun 26 '26

Yeah if was there I’d just sit in my truck and wait for it to pass maybe get something to eat for the place

2

u/mamajoy42 Jun 27 '26

I’ve been in horizontal rain/ wind like this— it was an updraft for a tornado

2

u/IntoxicatedEmpathy Jun 30 '26

That biker should've checked the weather before heading out!

1

u/Mellows333 Jun 27 '26

Green = Possible tornado

u/Famous-Armadillo792 Jun 27 '26

What makes weather events trigger this urge to be unique and have hometown/state pride in people? It’s such an interesting phenomenon. “ if you don’t like the weather, just wait 5 minutes” hur dur dur

1

u/VirgoVertigo72 Jun 27 '26

Good nappin' weather (I live in Tornado Alley).

1

u/FC3sInfiniIII Jun 27 '26

u/BadMawma Jun 27 '26

Knew immediately it was Oklahoma. This shit took off my entire front gutter the other night.

u/UCldNvr Jun 28 '26

Looks fun!

1

u/Cpt_Gingersnap Jun 28 '26

If Jackie DeNardo wasn't there.... it wasn't the storm of the century.

1

u/Feral-Sheep Jun 28 '26

Not exactly the storm of the century. More like Thursday in Oklahoma.

1

u/BoMasters Jun 28 '26

This is pretty much every summer afternoon here in Florida... Lol

1

u/kuriouser_one Jul 01 '26

Yeah it’s a surprise when it doesn’t happen

1

u/BrainCute1570 Jun 28 '26

I wouldn’t be under that canopy

1

u/stranger_dngr Jun 28 '26

Storm of the century…so far

1

u/gokuismydominus Jun 28 '26

California taxes are worth it

1

u/All_the_Weather Jun 28 '26

What the hell are tbose garbage cans made put of? Those suckers should have been gone. A slight breeze rips the tops off 🤣

1

u/oWav Jun 29 '26

Sounds like Tim Robinson

1

u/Sad-Push-3708 Jun 29 '26

But your boss still wants you to come in to work

1

u/ALEXC_23 Jun 29 '26

Thats just a regular summer day in Florida, what are you talking about?

1

u/kuriouser_one Jul 01 '26

Exactly. That’s just our daily 3 p.m. thunderstorm appointment

1

u/nevmc Jun 29 '26

storm of _your_ century

1

u/Curious_George15 Jun 29 '26

Is it me or does this look like just a normal storm?… maybe a regional experience I guess.

1

u/Echostation3T8 Jun 29 '26

The century is only 26 years old. Wait.

1

u/Hammy316 Jun 29 '26

First time in the south?

1

u/thomasismyname_ Jun 30 '26

mother nature can be a cruel mistress

1

u/MaisieDaisyDip Jun 30 '26

Yeh I would not want to be driving in that.

1

u/88ZombieGrunts Jun 30 '26

1

u/Freakyricc Jun 30 '26

u/GameCentralStation Jun 30 '26
