Tornado In Lawton Oklahoma

[lawtonokieguy]

wow it get's really impressive around the 3 minute mark....good job on the footage....

[TheNeonKittyCat]

I lived in Lawton at that time... I think I remember this tornado...

[admiraltolokus]

I live near 67th and Lee, this lousy thing spun and spun overhead as it moved from your area, but it ran away to the wildlife refuge where it finally touched down I believe moving north before petering out.

[LovMeIfUdare]

OMG I REMEMBER THAT!!!!! i live in Lawton!! Its scary having a tornado form by you house but i have had 2 form right above!

[jasonmit]

I was at work at the time. Actually caught video of it from the roof of my office building downtown. 2drGa66C_vU

People at work live in that area and they were freaking out.

[bigalou28]

This storm hung a funnel over pecan valley over my house...freaky...

[2013IKE]

haha i remember this, i live by 82nd street lol

[angelz1445]

Ohh the first time i saw a tornado was last year. But that was in Italy since i had to live there for 3 years cause my stepdad is in the military. Me and my friends were hanging at the skatepark when we saw a funnel cloud forming man it was scary

[Shabaka87]

Im going to Lawton for BCT. How often do you have bad storms?

[Aviar4]

lol too many too count

[kanimaru13]

bullshit.... we get one like ever other month -_-

[Mutchkin21]

Storms this year is a little abnormal. Usually there is more storms but for some reason, not many this year. However, just the other night, high winds (might as well been a tornado) swept through marlow (about 35 mins outside of Lawton) and damaged our expensive barn etc. Might have to total it and rebuilt. (not even a year old yet!). But when it does storm, it is a very dramatic light show for sure.

[BounceRH2]

@Shabaka87 Um, well a lot actually especially since TEXAS and Oklahoma have the most tornadoes in the World so you are close by texas and live in Oklahoma. If your not from the Tornado Alley get ready for some ridiculous storms. I'm use to it cuz Ive lived hear 22 years so I always go outside to watch lol.

[MrRobert4909]

@BounceRH2 Actually, we hardly ever have tornados in lawton.But very Bad storms

[Zanidiyah]

@BounceRH2 Yeah. Although I've never wittnessed one, I know tornadoes are very scary and do a lot of damage, and when there's a bad storm, I either go outside with my mom and watch it, or if I can't go outside cause my mom won't let me, I'll go over to my window and watch it there. XD

[darkdutchess04]

@Shabaka87 I've been here since December 2009 and I've NEVER seen a tornado, or even a storm that scared me. Of course I do have a high threshold for scared by storms, but still. This place is pretty weak when it comes to tornadoes or even decent storms. Damn mountains!!

[anthony71799]

i hate tornadoes they are scary

[madcrazy1672]

I moved to Lawton in the early 90's, from Kalifornia. I lived out in the sticks , just before Punkin' center and 'Sterling'. Marcy Brown was the Finest Girl around.

[ChocolateSiity313]

[tucson01]

[jesrael5]

[XMythDemonX]

[BounceRH2]

@jesrael5 No uniforms.. that I know of.. they do make you tuck shirts in I believe but Ive been out of highschool for 5 years.... Ya Tornadoes are worse than Hurricanes... or atleast they kill more people.. but they both suck.. You'll get use to the bad weather.. it aint nothing.

[dvmcgovern]

I lived there for 8 years. Before they closed half of Ft. Sill it was a thriving town. And i worked at Central mall. LOL. It's 30 years old now. And it's Wichita falls.

[dmonsta1011]

nah we got 2 starbucks now.

[roppop10]

its wichita falls...

[TheChronicOne]

It's nothing like that any more.

For one, the mall was renovated, and there are now two Starbucks. The place has boomed in the last 4-5 years.

[Mutchkin21]

Only one starbucks on Cache. The other on Sheriden got shut down. Mall is same old mall according to locals.

[Suckerman12]

I basically grew up in Lawton. I was there for the 4/10/79 Red River valley outbreak. I left the town in 82 and I haven't been back since. BUT I truly miss that town and it's people. I will probably go back next summer for a visit.

[taythetruth]

l town all day every day

[revenge102992]

Lawton sucks ass

dont bother

[brownangeleyes1972]

I was born there and I can't wait to finally go to Lawton!! I love the town and it's people. I'm Comanche and Kiowa. I can"t wait to go see where Geramino is buried. Hold on people. I'm coming this July, baby!!!!!

[jdawsonii]

Screamn Eagle poops on a wolverwinnie...

The days at Cry Baby Bridges and the days before a cerfew we always be a great memory also being able to get a cherry vanila Dr.pepper after an hr wait for it in your car or peaching in for gas. Anywho enjoy the view for me and do good for yourself and the Earth

[igglezphan]

Joe Henry? Rusty Woodson? Shane Kelly? Tim Kendall? Tripp Cagle? Jason Wells? Brent McCoy? Wonder where you are all these days. Will never forget the good times - drinking beer on the dirt road just past MacArthur Park - it's all developed now. Those were the days.

[igglezphan]

I miss Lawton and the legendary thunderstorms. I now live in Colorado Springs, and last night our weather forecaster actually said "...crazy weather today...we actually counted as many as three lightning flashes...stay tuned for more on this incredible weather development..." I just miss sitting on the porch during the lightning show with a 12 pack and a few friends.

[mooki3babiiyonkerz]

lol same thing here. i moved to Cheyenne fro OK and the weather they think is dangerous is hilarious. we had a tornado warning right at the end of school and my mom just walks in there and says there's no tornado and grabs us. i get outside and doesn't look like one at all. i guess they're just not use to it

[alexnjevon]

once i waz at school and the tornado was around the whole school and the lights went out and i waz in the bath room and i went out and saw the tornado but it waz cool

[FreeMusicDog]

what year did this happen because the only tornado i remember is when we had a real torando emergency in elementry school and we all had to sit in the hall way.

[kursndax]

yeah it was crazy that night,I was outside the whole time, I live by 82nd street now so can't wait for tornado season again this year :)

[ShadowRejects]

i seen 5 in my live, one was in my school, it sucked off the roof, and the next day at recces, the roof was on the playground. LOL

[ShadowRejects]

that happend to me, my mom said there was a tornado, i went outside and there was a big circle above me spinning real fast, REAL SCARY i was so dizzy, thank heavens is didnt get our house.. like right above me coming down

[JayJayBarnz]

Just some advice, u should invest in a tri-pod so that ur not holding the camera because you were shaking alot- i dont blame u though because i would be shaking to if a tornado was forming that close to me...lol good video...nice footage

[kennyroody]

wow, I can never forget that, it was my first year in Lawton. I lived off of Kinyon, and 22nd and supposedly it was what a mile from my house... First tornado I've ever experienced.

[BLACKJOKER83]

hahahha i was working

[Suqatish]

Oh yeah... I remember this stupid thing... Night School classes were put in the shelter.

[sonicamy12]

did it ever touch down?

[BounceRH2]

it never touched but the winds got high and debree was thrown around

[tucson01]

It was so crazy outside . I remember standing in my yard and watching clouds form above us and swirling clouds coming down on us!!! (82nd was the one on top of us)

[sooohot89]

i used to live there !! those stormsz were scary .

[silentlist]

Living in Lawton, weve seen some crazy things happen. Like the F-5 that started near Lawton and basically followed I 44 to OKC and destroyed Moore Oklahoma. Nice video..:)

[464835522]

[BounceRH2]
