Severe Thunderstorm in Stillwater, Oklahoma - 9/11/15 [HD]

Filmed from Bennett Hall. Please forgive the shaky camera work. I was holding my phone in 60 mph + wind...

[@johnnymanny2263]

I've gone to sleep to this almost every night for a year it's my fav thank you so much for posting

[@stevensmelton]

Glad to help. I'll try to add some more long videos in the future!

[@heatherstub]

@@stevensmelton Yes please! Thank you so much in advance.

[@starguard4122]

The only thing more exhilarating that watching storms like this, is racing to get home before it hits, and barely making it indoors right before it does

[@Versace24_7]

Steven you should be gobsmacked looking back at this raw amazing footage ❤ 2024 looking back at 2015 😅😅

[@CaptchaNeon]

Finally someone who doesn’t spend the first 5 minutes recording clouds turning dark! Excellent video you have there 🌩⛈

Thank you!

Automatic car washes can't compare with that wind and rain That is some rain 😮 felt like I was there

[@edgein3299]

I love storms. Would give anything to witness this in person.

[@bluebryce7220]

some parts of oklahoma gets these every single summer night

[@KoId.]

⁠@@bluebryce7220no they don’t lol even some parts of Florida doesn’t get storms everyday during summer

[@raymondtaylor2152]

This is the first time I've seen your video, Steven ... wow, what a thunderstorm and the winds, good grief, unbelievable ... I love thunderstorms and this one was a whopper, thanks so much for sharing even though this was 5 years ago, I'm sure you've had several since then. Stay safe! I'm surprised that there are people out and about driving around in this. The amount of lightning is quite spectacular too!

[@stevensmelton]

Thank you!

[@williammoses6232]

@@stevensmelton Steve not sure how much damage was done, would imagine there were trees down, as well as large branches, perhaps some shingle and roof damage as well this storm meant buissiness and had the bit in it's teeth when it went through

unless you live in oklahoma haha I use to live there as a kid and the thunderstorms were so brutal.

[@mdmarko]

Sadly, we almost never have thunderstorms where I live.

[@leewright6136]

Severe thunderstorms are such a digestive reality. Can’t get enough, especially when there is little or no dialogue.

[@stevensmelton]

Thanks! I'll try to keep them coming!

[@ashleegreene4538]

My roof and walls have a bunch of stuff in them. A lot of insulation. I can hear thunder if it gets very loud. I can barley hear it in my room

[@Yankeeboy7504]

Um if that's a normal storm there, that's nutty!!

[@GordiansKnotHere]

Them Oklahoma storms look fun!

[@thesoundpainterbkny3465]

Best rain video on KZbin!!!

[@stevensmelton]

Thanks!

[@AlvinSeville1]

When it rains continuously in Stillwater, the folks say after a while, "still water?!?". 😄

[@ryonakimura56]

Ba dum tiss*

[@HuntersMoon78]

One thing I like about this video: there is no "Oh My God" being said over and over. Good stuff Steven

[@stevensmelton]

Thanks!

[@thomasvetor7420]

Thanx 4 sharing the storm !!!

[@dailyweatherreportpakistan3446]

I love these type of rain 😍😍😍

[@kreefkreefie2808]

So relaxing , thanks .

[@williammoses6232]

listen to the wind roar!!!!! you can hardly hear any thunder over the roar of the wind one steady roar!!!!

[@ps3platinum]

its back to full screen. weird it sometimes starts at 4:3 screen or flipped .

[@harukakigani106]

Considering the conditions esp wind you did bloody well super video! 👍👍

[@theking-fj9nr]

Ah yes very family with this area is that West Hall of Fame Avenue ?

[@djmeltdown65]

Actually it's looking north on Duck. One of my other videos looks out onto hall of fame though.

[@theking-fj9nr]

@@djmeltdown65 nice cool vid

[@JohnMoore-bv8sx]

Glad we don't get thunderstorms like that in Scotland!! - would have to change our underpants three or four times.

[@donaldbrown7252]

you did a fine job with camera! just wish pic was bigger

[@lairdriver]

I love how people are still driving like Taco Bell is truly still worth it

[@stevensmelton]

Haha!

[@craighiebert3384]

Damn, the 'water' was certainly not 'still' on THAT day. I envy your thunderstorms, we get nothing like that here! New subscriber from the looney-run state of California.

[@stevensmelton]

Haha

[@beckylynn209]

I love storm's like this.. 🤗

[@danielquiroz718]

during storms in 80s power used to always shut off...was memorable. Exciting video

[@stevensmelton]

Thank you! I'm fascinated by these storms!

[@mykahlifischer5267]

Hey Steve, great video! Hope to see another storm in the future!

[@stevensmelton]

Me too! Thanks!

[@sirisaac6125]

Winds look closer to 70-80mph than 60, those are some intense gusts!

[@AlvinSeville1]

Try flying kites in that.

[@ronaldtaylor9920]

Looks awesome I like thunderstorms from California we don't get.them great filming just be safe thanks for the video

[@kerrysawh9372]

Omg is it just me or does from 9:25 the tree and two street lights begin to look like a skull with glowing eyes🤤?

[@LavenderRain24]

This was incredible!!!!! I've never seen lightning so active! Not even in a movie... I love thunderstorms a lot but I think this one would scare me to actually live through a storm as severe as this one!

[@stevensmelton]

Glad you liked it! Oklahoma thunderstorms are fascinating!

[@oldiesmusic76]

Looks like no cloud to ground strikes (except at 3:57), but lots of inner cloud lightning and some very heavy rains with wind.

[@heatherstub]

Superb audio quality! That's the key to getting to sleep so quickly, because if you're totally blind, you don't even need a black screen! Hahaha.

[@lairdriver]

This is beyond a severe thunderstorm, there had to be a Tornado in there somewhere. Oklahoma is truly the capital of the world literally for Tornadoes. It feels like you guys offended a deity of some sort and he carries a grudge.

[@lucifer.Morningstar369]

Probably no tornado. Lookslike a small hurricane. But probalby 75 mph winds

[@yeseniaosorio5569]

Oh my God that’s a hurricane. I want to visit Oklahoma and experience what I’m watching right now.

[@stevensmelton]

You should!

[@thomasvetor7420]

Nice view of the storm , hearing the wind n rain galore ...

[@bullvalley6093]

Awesome storm footage!

[@stevensmelton]

Thanks!

[@autumnorozco76]

weather is such a fascinating thing to witness sometimes. one minute, nothing, then the next it changes intensely

[@stevensmelton]

If you don't like the weather in OK just wait 5 minutes...

[@1.4142]

3:57 power went out

[@carlsperr]

I LOVE this video!!!!

[@Salodanger75]

Daaaaaaaam*!!! Scary! 😩😩 I'm glad we don't have storms like this here in Finland!

[@jakebeauchamp3com]

Anytime I see Oklahoma, Texas, and Midwestern states in the titles, I know they’re going to be good.

[@heatherstub]

FYI: Yes I'm totally blind and use text-to-speech software to hear what I'm typing in case I make any mistakes. This way, I'm able to correct them right away. I also love to put the earbuds on at night. I have the screen curtain on, too, which saves battery power.

[@Sputz3]

7:12 Those streetlights look like two eyes and the tree looks like a moving mouth. It’s a tree monster!

[@tracyruth4247]

I DO NOT miss those Oklahoma storms!

[@mike311271]

amazing video, nature showing its true power , does lightning strikes are every second and the rain

[@stevensmelton]

Sometimes more than a second but not with this storm.

[@ramonguerrero1093]

And here is the reason why I would like to live in Oklahoma. Because I enjoy this kind of weather.

[@ismaelrodriguez2446]

Chulada de tormenta compadre

[@sharppointy1]

So much lightning with so few thunderclaps. I wonder why? Great storm, thank you for sharing it.

[@LucasVanderBartlett]

Because the lightning was elevated in the tops of the clouds.

[@elithunder]

Such a cool storm!!

[@peggycook4518]

Wow! Awesome.

[@KingTriton1837]

That is one thing I miss about living in the Midwest and the mid atlantic. The storms every season were phenomenal!

[@stevensmelton]

Thanks! I'm from California and we have NOTHING like this.

[@KingTriton1837]

Steven Melton I from Sacramento! When I was in the military, I got stationed in Dover and at Little Rock AFB. We have boring weather back home in Sacramento versus the weather back east!

[@lairdriver]

I had a chance to Tornado chase there and I said no. I want to look at them from a distance, not get jumped by one. Best $2000 not spent. Props to you for having the balls to stand out there. Great footage. That rain looks like it would sandblast your skin

[@stevensmelton]

My classmate and I chased a couple of times. Check out my not so great video of a tornado that went right by us north of campus. It's on my channel.

[@TheGreeneyes777]

I was just watching plane spotting and the wind sounds a lote like a jet engine "amazing" we don't get storm's like yours in San Jose California the weather here is consistently boring! Anyway awesome video nicely done

[@kenpalmer1965]

I know the feeling. I too live in California but in Southern C.A. Specifically, I am in San Bernardino located about 60 miles east of Los Angeles. Like you said, we get nothing like the weather in this part of the country unless we get something unusual like the tail end of a hurricane. That happened out here in spring of 1983 and that wreaked havoc literally to just about all of our entire area. But other than that, it is quite boring weatherwise.

[@zackmzellify4897]

Large Winds. Severe Thunderstorm, Tennis Ball Size Hail. Floods Effect, Supercell. Tornado

[@davidhildebrand8894]

Kind of reminds me of the night Hurricane Andrew coming in. Good footage!

[@stevensmelton]

Wow, I bet that was something, thanks!

[@thesoundpainterbkny3465]

Great, Great, video!

[@stevensmelton]

Thank you!

[@jhn170]

That's a Violent Thunderstorm with a lot of lightning and thunder !!!!! It sure is scary !!!!! Imagine if it came in the afternoon on a hot and humid day with the temperature around 90. Thanks for sharing !

[@stevensmelton]

Thanks! It was pretty awesome to watch!

[@anupsharma3592]

What was that flash of light in the sky ? , when power went off.

[@stevensmelton]

Lightning hit a power pole and caused the power to go out for a second.

[@williammoses6232]

imagine that hail driven by 60+ mph winds hitting a window

[@stevensmelton]

Yikes

[@ps3platinum]

I like this relaxing vid

[@peajaybee9804]

Just subscribed...GREAT VID!!! Looking forward to more~~~

[@stevensmelton]

Thanks!

[@connor8560]

Does this kind of weather become normal to people living in areas where this happens a lot? Because in the uk we will get weather only half as bad as this but everyone makes a big deal

[@TheRealMiamiman70]

Yes

[@carolejean5102]

OMG! Great capture!

[@gangis79]

Great video Steve, try to get as much footage of storms as you can make they are so soothing to watch, maybe even set up to make some sleep videos to post i'm always looking around for nice 8 hour long storms with no loop's.

[@stevensmelton]

Haha that would be one long storm! Thanks!

[@georgiaconti1667]

Texas has some doozies like this. I was in one, many years ago, where the lightning came down in colors: red, blue, and green!!. No joke, no lie.

[@kenpalmer1965]

That's OK about the camera work. Under the circumstances, that is completely understandable. Great job! A mean looking storm there!

[@stevensmelton]

Thanks!

[@fredthompson4568]

Lightning so bright it turned off.the street lights, yep seen that happen before.

[@jasminewilson208]

its been raining and having thunderstorms every day but im astraphobic..i cant do this lol.

[@CaptchaNeon]

I just subbed, hopefully you’ll do more storm videos in the near future

[@williammoses6232]

Steve-- how fast was the entire thunderstorm moving ? these monsters usually move quite rapidly forward speeds can be as rapid as 60 to 70 mph

[@djmeltdown65]

Probably about 50-60 mph.

[@georgebukowski1664]

Like this thunderstorm people be safe and tornadoes don't get hit

[@thatstormenthusiast]

Crazy stuff man! Excellent footage and audio!

[@stevensmelton]

The water's not so steel in steel water

[@marleybutler4633]

A mic wind filter would be appreciated

[@angelaszpivak7473]

Wicked storm! Great footage. Thanks for posting. At least you let the camera roll instead of cutting parts here and there like others -which is so annoying. Vids like yours are the only chance I get to see weather like this. I'm in Canada. We get snow. Lol.

[@jacob5512]

Angela Szpivak come on down to Tulsa during May and you’ll have a blast with the weather

[@stevensmelton]

Thanks, Angela! I'll try to post more when I get the chance!
