Hail Storm May 29 2012 Oklahoma City

Having no garage, we were trying to save our vehicles from impending destruction from the massive storm heading our way! The news was reporting 4-5 inch hail, softball size in some areas coming directly toward us. Having lost all the glass in our vehicles in a hail storm in May 2010, we decided to drive away from it, but got caught in it.

[@MrDennissager]

Is it just me or... Did I just watch them drive directly towards the storm to avoid it ?!?!?

[@anthonyscvpi5154]

That's wat I'm saying didn't she say she trying not to be in it but she was driving into it I would have just been at home then in it

[@adampaul2986]

She also drove right past multiple gas stations and other sheltered places lol

[@jimd3113]

You didn't drive to safety, you drove right into it!!!! I laughed at this video... love your radar reading ability!!!

[@vmaks_official]

Yeah but what is the point of driving into the storm if you want to avoid it?

[@jeridmcmanus]

Glad y'all were safe! Thanks for sharing.

[@richardfleer1905]

How about a parking garage to a mall or hospital or something? Those things will always do the job.

[@KingTriton1837]

Richard Fleer yes! When I lived in Arkansas, there was a hospital parking garage I would always go to when hail storms hit!

[@iashbanen5320]

look there trying to safe there cars

[@frecklesrevenge]

I am glad u are safe. We too live in your neighborhood and witnessed the destruction from the hail.

[@sexxytimmy]

what i dont understand it, why are you driving tords the storm when you DONT want hail damage?? like really....

[@douglasshadell5119]

What y’all did driving in the storm seems more dangerous than just staying put..

[@lello333]

This Man is really BRAVE.... love u bro.. keep up the good job chasing tornados... u THE BEST MAN... :)

[@lyndon8488]

I dont understand why would you ever get in your car? During storms you should stay inside listen to the weather. You should never try to drive out of a storm. stay at home . make sure you have car insurance this way you can claim the damage. you tried to our run it and it still hailed on your car. You life is much more valuable than a vehicle. I drive a expensive car but i would never try to get in it from my home driveway and try to our run the storm. Stay at home and safe inside your home. please

[@FATTYBONGRIPS]

if they came with them it would be worse, since hail could break through the window and fly at them and kill them. or the window would break and shards of glass would fly at them, combined with softball size hail

[@cameronwashington2623]

beatersho your a dumbass

[@stephanburgess654]

Surely a town that size would have had an under cover car park somewhere if you were really worried.

[@nenblom]

Goodness gracious great balls of hail!! ⛈🌪⚡️ Seriously, was everything okay with your loved ones, your house and your animals?

[@RickRamo]

I was wondering what device you used to capture the video? I grabbed a few clips with a Samsung SGH-i727 Galaxy 2 Skyrocket phone. Unfortunately I just got it from ATT and have not familiarised with the settings yet. Anyway, I'm a little north on Stratford river by the school a couple of blocks south of Britton Rd. I will pass your link off to my Sister, she lives in Mustang. Fortunately only the greenhouse door glass was shattered.

[@elliotsmith1670]

You should have drove southwest perhaps lol to avoid the storm. Anyways I hope the insurance worked out. Great Video of a massive storm!

[@TheAGAPETUS]

Probably spent more on gas than the glass would have cost trying to find a place to protect a car, especially since you passed up so many good places to stop.

[@sharlayshapowers3806]

true

[@TheTimo5494]

Its Oklahoma you know this kinda weather happens and can happen any time of year. I live in tulsa transplant from California. But im fully aware of the weather here and i would've drove to the nearest gas station or parking garage before the storm. This is actually not smart drivinh in such conditions

[@shawnmagnotta9762]

I do not understand why you didn't pull over your vehicle in a gas station? Though an overpass will protect your from hail it will not protect you from a possible tornado passing over you, Shawna. I hope you read this to prevent yourself from doing this again in future.

[@davidmayhew4818]

no garage? She passes at least two places where she could have gone under cover. she drives directly into the storm.

[@jasonmisson1884]

gee i never in my life saw hail that big glad to see everything is ok

[@TheMamixsiempre]

Wow! I am so nervous whatching your video, I was in my house at this time, watching how my car get hit by the hail and then power out and Tornado alarms started .... was a nightmare... sadly..... :( Glad that u are ok....

[@youngmeteorologist8894]

Dear KZbinr, why were you running into trouble with all that strong winds, large hail and torrential rain.

[@20PINKluvr]

was there a tornado with this storm

[@Sirenfreak1000T]

your voice sounds JUST like my aunt cindys! I'm glad your all ok. :)

[@daryls86]

i like how they drive right in to it

[@ZombolicBand]

Thats a nice day to stay inside, watching movies, playing tv games... anything but being outside hehe.

[@stephensnell5707]

Using electronics during a Storm is not safe as a sudden surge in the Power Supply can do very serious damage to all electronics including T.V.s

[@worldcooking]

What a flawless shoot in bad weather!

[@thatonemiata_4011]

Btw 2:16 is when it starts raining

[@stephanburgess654]

Green sky is good enough to get under shelter. Hail is coming.

[@mars2631]

Garage??🤔

[@rafsanAhmed93]

Instead of saving the windshield from hail they went straight into the storm.

[@trin223]

This is an example of what NOT to do.

[@belac1997b]

I'm glad they're safe as well, but I have to wonder if they're actually from Oklahoma.. So many things I would've never done, being born and raised here, but all that matters is that they are safe.. I hope they're home and pets were safe as well!

[@thetouretters]

I love storms, I want to live there lol

[@buttfart12]

I remember this night, where we tried to hide under a gas pump, but our windshield completely shattered anyway.

[@05fordgtx1]

I take it you never drove in severe weather before???

[@ss2311beastlyballer]

Ok so your telling me in this video that I can protect my car from hail by driving in the storm??? WTF

[@jensenphil1531]

When it was hailing so hard I will go in a under ground parking garage

[@cameronwashington2623]

i know you passed by one or two gas stations and they were empty to me

[@fsukb]

So I guess the point of this video is too let us know it is unsafe to drive in this

[@CloudTT]

What a mistake! Tonight may be worse! Be careful! It's never worth getting stuck in it! Just imagine if a tornado came through while you were in your car. Also it was very unsafe to be under the overpass. Your life is more important than your property. If you want to save whats left of your car windshield, you may wan to prepare now as we are at least 2-3 hours away from next storm. No telling if you will get huge hail in your area though. Stay safe... And good luck

[@mars2631]

It looked like you drove into it

They drive directly into the storm while trying to "avoid" it, and they stop under an overpass, and when she pans to the left; there is a large parking garage that would have protected them both...

[@silverstarflite135]

Geez, at :14 you appear to have a garage. Suggestion? If the garage is full of stuff, get a shed. You could had possible used the garage for one car. Maybe invest in a carport as well.

[@poodtang1]

Find the nearest gas station and pull in.

[@Computist40]

Never leave the house, next time just park your car inside of the garage if you have one

[@NikolasKing]

I remember this.

[@MrGoldarr]

I believe they sell an inflatable thing you can put on top of your vehicle. I believe they tie it to the tires or somewhere that secure so the winds won’t blow it up. It’s seems like a very inconvenient thing to do, every time a Storm rolls in.You would definitely save on gas and be inside your home, where is safer.

[@stephensnell1379]

The sharp hail would burst an inflatable object
