[bonuss7]

[lexiskramer229a]

[JaNeIsKlarDu]

[parallelpinkparakeet]

2:40 Dude omg! Look at the tree!

[rikky7080]

The light at the center is the weak sun or a lamp post?

[rikky7080]

100% sure it was a microburst because of how quickly it came!

The strongest storm in my city is nothing compared to this. O.o

[ChaseThatTornado67]

100+ mph winds cat 1 or 2 hurricane dude!

[megaedwin213]

That's like hurricane force winds. I'm guessing like 75 mph

[ethancroot]

Only in America.

[elementsofstars]

5 ppl want to downburst his backyard

[dimensionalyspeaking]

wow....epic @!!!

[yoshidis4]

why people upload this video format?

its a fkin STRIP

[blackhawk101ify]

ive been through worse:)

[Roadrager722]

2:33 That reminds me of the downburst we had in Lufkin, Texas when i was about 6 years old. It looks exactly like this except there were pine trees down everywhere in our street. Now i live in Fort Worth and haven't seen one since.

[rxorta]

what the fuck?

[TheRealVaSouljas]

Don't ever tell Chuck Norris there's something in your eye.

[iTzNoko]

Alright, who the fuck summoned Totoro

[IJmuiden3]

crazy!!

[Chuggalugg]

was this filmed with a potato?

[pete1729]

Nice work holding the camera fairly steady and not talking too much.

[Razorflamekun]

@mconwxdr

Nice. Maybe next time you could do this in a better resolution?

[LolitaVengeance]

Omg, thats so crazy!

[Legendofsnake53]

That huge gust of wind at around 2:40 sounds like the tool dentists use to clean out the fluoride in your mouth

[amazondealtube]

Super horrible

[CheekyApeMan]

God forget to sneeze into his elbow...

[DudokX]

that looks like shockwave from nuclear bomb explosion! crazy weather!

[RadPvM]

We got some of this in Tulsa too. It was pretty cool.

[tkpintj]

Ever wanted to fly?

[ChaseThatTornado67]

100 mph wind!

[jansalvo]

By chance any UFOs seen in the area?

[p3nguinish]

holy shit O_O

[IIZODIIAC]

that was a bit extreme.

[ydespues69]

WTF..

[youartoyube]

Sorry, I farted. My bad :(

[SeanHanna1991]

wow!



[Rushthatspeaks]

How do YOU know it is called a "downburst"? What are you fucking Reed Timmer?

[RadPvM]

@Rushthatspeaks It's actually called a microburst. Stop being a faggot.

[jnrolf]

Wow!

[apemonekeyman]

wow i felt a sudden urge to run outside and play in it..

[Designandrew]

Also it started with hail just like that too, i was about to run out with a blanket for my car, if I did I would have been crushed by the tree.. fucking lucky

[Designandrew]

I've been in one of these before, one second it was just an average storm in Australia, the next it was like a tornado, it was so loud I didn't even hear a massive gum tree collapse right next to our house missing it my inches, and my car luckily too.. and quick as it came it was gone.. should have seen the damage it caused too.. all in one specific area..

[lukeheald]

Mental. If we got that where I lived we'd kill ourselves.

[8002916]

like a BOSS!

[mconwxdr]

@minkyblack: It varies a lot year to year but we can expect on average a few days a year with severe winds or damaging hail somewhere in Norman.

[minkyblack]

@mconwxdr your car and house insurance must be so expensive..

[mconwxdr]

@charlestace: The tree survived.  The cheap plastic stick I got to hold it up snapped, but the tree is intact, except for a few scrapes where the fence hit it.

[ferretmomof3]

@mconwxdr Hard to believe unless you were here. You have to see the damage to homes that 90 seconds of this storm did. I'm not far from you in NE Norman.

[RidinONChrome]

wow,, thats crazy

ITs like somebody just flipped the switch on in a wind tunnel.lol

[charlestace]

Did the little tree survive being squashed by the fence?

[feenixrising10]

wow, pretty spectacular

[mechan9]

We're gonna need a bigger fence. 

[nu0cm4m]

look. free ice cubes :D

[pinktortue]

Oh dang that really sucks at least they have their power, 1:41, oh wait nevermind.

[MiisterrMurray]

fuck

[ingvar1996]

Mini-Huricane!! ;p

[RaynisticalAllstaR]

2012

[sergellzapmikee]

whoaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh! amazingly insane!

[abstokesUA]

WOW!!!!!

[iVisuallook]

The iphone Fock'd up with the 4:2 video format WTF!

Could barely get a good look @ whats going on,

hope you guy are safe though.

[milfinator]

do you live next to a driving range dude?

[jonnois]

hold your iphone sideways, gawd

[MiisterrMurray]

@jonnois ponce

[gaparzin]

whats that sucking noise ?

[ferretmomof3]

@gaparzin That sucking noise is 70mph straight line winds. This is not my house but one close by. It was very scary.

[gaparzin]

@ferretmomof3 yeah it sounds out of it, i never heard anything like that. If you were to join that sound with the sounds of the earth quakes we get here ( Christchurch) you going to have a really frightened audience haha.

[MindofScience3]

This happened to me about 2 years ago. A mile away, there was inches of hail (I got none). A mile in another direction, almost no damage. One street over, a 5ft thick tree snapped in half. I stood in my doorway watching winds were paralleling my house thank god).

[Zolduch]

wow downburst... dont you think it would be worse if you were in libya where your goberment is droping bombs?

[10deux24]

@Zolduch dont think libya was mentioned in this video so im pretty sure theres no need for a libya comment nor is there anyway this youtuber could control our "goberment" so complaining on there video is just plain stupid

[minkyblack]

how many times a year, on average, do you get severe storms in norman?

[Cheeyaah]

Yep, I was standing outside on my friends porch at the same time. It was crazy weather for sure. haha

[CaptainBananahead]

1. Pause this video at 1:00

2. Start this video: /watch?v=oum6GERz0Z4

3. Watch epicness.

[Techno4Peace]

@CaptainBananahead lol everythings epic with that song!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Techno4Peace]

@CaptainBananahead holyy shit perfect timing when the main wind hits!!!!!!!

[ndzapruder]

@CaptainBananahead omfg, I love you.

[webwombel]

@CaptainBananahead What's so epic?

[StLouisStormSpotter]

@CaptainBananahead I did that. Holy crap!

[elderion]

OKLA HOMA



[DeeSee25]

That tree was gettin raped. So glad I got the F outta Norman.

[bastian74]

Fun part starts @ 2:25

[FenrisKeeper]

Lol, that dude's comments about the pixels is a trolling reference. He doesn't mean it's actually fake.

[sqhschief]

What the fuck was that!!?!?!?!?!?!?

[ablestmage]

Sounds like someone is doing dental work during the downburst..

[riddysmum]

@ablestmage lol



[riddysmum]

Susan who I used to work with at Cendant posted this video... it is NOT fake. I work for Allstate in Norman, OK and in one day our little office filed 36 damage claims, we already have 5 more this morning. This is the real deal folks, this is the 2nd Microburst in Oklahoma metro in 2 years.. August of 2010 and June of 2011.

[adulby]

best video of a microburst ive ever seen

[Zima4184]

Wow !!!

[greenfocuses]

poor tree

[PeterFileMoeLester]

please place Chuck Norris fart joke here---->

[TheTornadoChaser]

Awesome downburst!

[ndzapruder]

WOW! For a few seconds it's like I'm watching one of the nastier videos of hurricane Charley.

[HowsaBowsaYowsa]

Just wow. I would have been concerned it WAS a tornado with all that going on around me. I could have never stood on the porch like that.

[hmammy]

I was standing in an open-air hallway at my apartment complex when this hit. Turns out wind blows faster through a narrow corridor. Who knew?

[theyardsaleguy]

BRUTAL!!!

[FloridaSeverWeather]

i have a newfound respect for non tornadic thunderstorms i didnt have befor because of this amazing footage... that was Awesome!

[oldschooltunervw]

It looks real because it is, why is it there is always some douche who says "that is fake" get a clue....and a life

[bastian74]

@oldschooltunervw Posting "fake and gay" on something that is obviously not, is the latest meme to hit youtube.

[juliaavery]

Awesome video of downburst!

[ytgrthomas]

This is fake. You can tell from the pixels. You can see the neighbors throwing the ice pellets into your yard.

[ytgrthomas]

I can't figure out how you did the fence, though. That looks real. And the tree.

[ThisGuyisBlue]

@ytgrthomas you're fake! The only thing that's real about you is the waste of space your comments make on here.

[ytgrthomas]

@ThisGuyisBlue Sorry. I really wasn't trying to make waves. More than anything I was trying to be funny. It's obviously NOT fake.

[FloridaSeverWeather]

@ytgrthomas you can clearly see a microburst about a mile away moving in from the start of the video.. that wasnt a smart choice to call this vid fake . the hail is not coming down horizontally, but virtically prior to the wind and not to mention the sheer massive amount of ice, this video is completely genuine. (the raw file name says its directly from a recording device not from an editing program as well)

[ytgrthomas]

@FloridaSeverWeather I was kidding. We got hit with this exact storm last night too and it was insane. Great video here. It's so obviously not fake that I figured everyone would know I was joking.

[theyardsaleguy]

@ytgrthomas Please explain how the high wind is fake as well and the lightning, thunder, clouds, etc... I am a meteorology student and I have been storm chasing before and this is not fake at all. You need to take your worthless comments and get that out of here!!

[ytgrthomas]

@theyardsaleguy Sorry. I was kidding. We got hit with this too last night. It's very much real and it was a crazy story.

[theyardsaleguy]

@ytgrthomas haha alright. It is just that anymore there is always some person who says the video is fake, no matter what it is about

[Sheilaaliens]

ridiculous, beautiful, power-hose!

[bkwilsey]

Your camera sucks

[mason4300]

that was awesome, never seen anything like that before.

[tlstevens76]

We had something like this about a month ago in Dewey, Oklahoma. I blew off the back half of our barn in just a few minutes.

[Meso5399]

From the looks of it North Norman got no where near as bad as we did on the SE side. We had 32 minutes of golf ball to tennis ball size hail and substained winds of a lteast 75 mph, although I personally measured wind gust of 94 mph. The news did decent of warning Norman that they would get slammed for maybe 15-20 minutes before the storm. Of course watching radar there was a chance of the hardcore hail for almost an hour.

[kimberthegiver]

"HOLY SHIT!!" <---I think this was said simultaneously around Norman at that same exact moment.

[LisaMA]

@kimberthegiver I know I said it! Hail broke my large front window in three places!

[wow1022]

a weaker form of this (macroburst) hit my area a while back i remember standing in my back porch watching the thunderstorm and all of a sudden a HUGE gust of wind came through it took out some small pine trees in areas. i'd say it was about a 60-70mph gust. the storm had no warning on it. just a random gust of wind similar to this
