Incredible wind, Lightning, rain, and tornado sirens in Plano Texas on March 2nd 2023

[@Highland_Moo]

You guys are so lucky. I live on the Isle of Skye in the Scottish highlands, (not far from the castle that’s in Highlander movie), and although we get stormy weather a lot, it’s usually gales, rain and sleet and we rarely get proper thunderstorms. I’d love to visit Texas and the Midwest and southwest of the USA and see some proper badass lighting! I’m 45 and my kids have grown up and left home and if I win the lottery I’m buying a plane ticket and hiring a car and spending the rest of my life bumbling about the USA! Until then, videos like this are fantastic! Stay safe you lovely Texan folk and bonus points for having a gorgeous pooch!

[@markdichiara6299]

The sirens scared him poor guy

[@chogan201]

Looked like the dog wanted to stay by the Owners...She asked the dog if it wanted to go inside, went in and came back out...lol

[@footballlvnlady]

I am glad Charlie got in the house.

[@lotusbandicoot]

Those were some ominous colors in the first few minutes... and then sunset only makes it creepier

[@vibrantgleam]

BRO I REMEMBER THIS. I WAS AT GREAT WOLF LODGE WHEN THE STORM HIT.

[@melissahoffman4687]

That jet engine sound is a tornado. It was probably rain wrapped.

[@rar6546]

No tornado, the wind was really not that loud just typical strong storm. They will sound the sirens even if there is chance for small hail. Wind certainly not 80 mph, would have been more damage. Not even severe in this video. Does not seem the guy knows what jet engine wind really sounds like. And really only bright lightning nothing more.

[@dianefarley37]

Great video! Making storm vids is some of the best fun to have! "Spider lightning" is actually known as anvil lightning, if I suppose correctly. It comes from the underside of the thunderstorm's anvil.

[@pmzephyr22]

I think, from examining the map, that what you were witnessing was the edge of a rain-wrapped tornado that was going through or near Jefferson.TX. I could be wrong but the data seems to say it.

[@rar6546]

Jefferson Tx is a three hour drive from Plano so no probably not. Look at the date of this video also. That would be a gargantuan tornado if so.

[@denise8242]

Should've been in west Texas, huge dust storm, turned the sky orange.

[@TheRealBambihooves]

Charlie knows that something wicked this way comes 😮

[@DarleneLuknis]

The wind sounds like a banshee wailing

[@angieparsons4584]

Can hardly hear him because of the wind.

[@hubertparks-bx9gj]

Those were scary clouds

[@lifewsofiaworld]

It started for the severe thunderstorm watch. Sirens started 8:01 PM. Sunday June 11,

[@rar6546]

View the date of this video, doesn't even match up.

[@odiekarone]

Do you see the big super cell straight ahead? I wouldn’t be standing outside while it’s lightning. You are like a lightning rod standing outside.

[@mattdaddy_888]

Can anyone tell what model those tornado sirens are?

[@techyyystech388]

Whelen WPS-2810s and 2910s

[@shawnbrunel8471]

Different sounding siren

[@ardmis48]

Is this normal thing for Plano Texas?

[@odiekarone]

If you are seeing power flashes, chances are it’s a tornado!

[@dianefarley37]

Powerflashes can be orange or white, too. They move more slowly than lightning. You need experience to tell the difference, but it can be hard to know.

[@shannongreenwell1278]

Hope you get to safety if you’re under a tornado warning. Your life and the life of your dog is more important than you being outside taping the storm. The alarms going off and the power flashes are a good indicator that your in the path of a tornado…. Get to safety NOW! Secondly if you hear a” freight train “ and you don’t live near a train track you can bet that it is a tornado 🌪️! Even more reason to get into a storm shelter or storm room!

[@Shaunstrangulation]

That was almost exclusively power flashes and very little lightning between the 5-7 min mark, followed by sheet lightning for the remainder of the footage. You definitely had a rain wrapped low scale tornado fairly close by, which even an ef0 can cause bad damage, but thankfully you got lucky.

[@rar6546]

No power flashes or tornado, just bright lightning. If there were power flashes, or as many as you may be alluding to, the power would've gone out. I live in Plano, again no tornado.

[@KevsterWilson]

Tornados coming & your worried about the carpet getting wet Lmao. Should be lucky the tornado didnt come & destroy the house then the carpet wet would be the least problem!

[@GODDOG6615]

0:04 did anybody tell me if that was a transformer

[@kimstefanik7648]

Get the dammed dog and get in a safe place for God's sake!!!

[@rar6546]

From what? This was just a strong storm, not even severe level.

[@chogan201]

The dog went inside remember....I live in Carrollton TX ...so pretty familiar with storms like this....A scarey storm happened in April or May and at 4:30 am 90 MPH winds came and rain so hard it was sideways...geez that was crazey
