Ahhh the mighty power of the mighty Thunderbolt! That first wind up at 0:43 though... 😍

All “Hail Saton”

your dog is trying to warn you he/she senses something bad is going to happen. All my parents dogs and my dog do that to. they also huddle next to me when it is storming.

[@nenblom]

[@Sir_Gugharde_Wuglis]

Dogs freak out about sirens and thunderstorms all the time. It’s loud and noisy, they bark at it.

I can DEFINITELY see the green in the sky on this storm. I hope that you and your family weren't harmed in any way during this storm, Ryan. I've only seen one "green" sky when I was a teen back in Long Island; after getting out of the foster care system. We had a BUNCH of hail and STRONG winds!!! The next day driving around the neighborhood it LOOKED LIKE we'd had a tornado touch down in the area. I mean... there were HUGE trees snapped off and on peoples' houses and blocking the roads!!! But I've yet to actually SEE a tornado. And (at 60 yrs old) I STILL want to see one with my own eyes.

[@adelefarough5123]

Ike: dogs usually do know about storms quite a ways in advance of the storm itself. Every dog I have ever had has started acting weird roughly 2 hours before a storm would hit. I think they are picking up thunder well in advance of us.

I can't help but to cry when I hear your dog yelping in fear in the background. I don't like hearing ANYONE crying. Children, women and animals ESPECIALLY!!! But I can't handle dudes crying either (even though half the time... or MOST of the time we bring that on ourselves). I just HATE to see anyone... or anything suffering or in fear. It breaks me up inside!!!

[@chrismarks4277]

lord that wind up of the thunderbolt sexy

[@alan1jthomas]

Can't be certain, but 13:50 looks like a classic microburst...since it was so sudden...and it occurred deep inside the storm's core, which tornadoes usually do not.

[@jackrudden5970]

yup its a microburst. not a tornado 75+mph winds though

[@kieranhatley222]

Definitley a microburst.

[@josephfriedmann4471]

the siren at 00:40 I remember in the early 80s while living at Altus AFB.

[@kevinkarg4464]

I was also at Altus AFB in 1982. On May 11, there was a tornado on the base and it tore up some buildings and did some really weird things. Just goes to show you that tornadoes are really mysterious and strange storms. I saw one forming out of the clouds and it scared the shit out of me.

[@edwardheaney6758]

That's the longest siren I have ever heard.

[@mikestudent465]

Glad to know you're a Minecraftian! You will hear those types of sirens in Winter Gardens and Twiston.

[@lairdriver]

I like videos that start with the storm rolling in. It puts things into perspective.

[@bandfromtheband9445]

Yes! This is terrifying! The tornado sirens alone make a terrifying cacophony of screams in the sky!! That can be psychologically, too much to deal with for sure! I hope that you've taken good care of your frightened pets who are freaking out at these sounds! Please, comfort yourselves and your beautiful pets, as you would yourselves, during this terrifying time! Take care of your Pets!!!!

[@swimmercags]

Cool video. Great sound from the sirens. Our city just replaced old Thunderbolts for new Whelen Vortex sirens due to backup battery power in case of a power failure.

[@MrCrazyRules]

Awesome video! That gust of wind was sure quite the show. Reminds me of a time a few years ago. I was in a storm and I watched it for a few minutes and suddenly gusts of fog came and we went downstairs.

[@stephensnell1379]

Those wind chimes sound so lovely.

Awesome !!! That was a severe thunderstorm with high winds, hail and heavy rains. I don't blame you for going inside because it was scary with the high winds.

[@progenitor_amborella]

@@T0R2346 it’s caused by lots of hail refracting the light that’s coming inside of the storm. Since the sky is blue it looks green. That’s also why the color changes around sunset. Usually if a storm is strong enough to produce that much hail, there’s a decent chance it could go tornadic. Pecos Hank has a great video on this.

[@nenblom]

I remember, a few years ago, we had a cock-a-poo (cocker spaniel poodle mix). Every time there was a fire or something like that here in eastern Pennsylvania, the sirens would go off and he would start howling along tight with them. Hilarious! Dogs are funny. Great video!

[@hotdogflavouredmilkshake]

Niklas Enblom it's not funny. Dogs are and cats are scared of very loud sounds. That's why the dog in this video was whimpering. It was scared of the sirens. They're also scared of fire trucks.

[@nickp.2169]

That strip of clouds around the 5:45 mark looks like the inflow feeder band....it is pointing you right to where the tornado would be...

[@AwesomeDesertTrains]

0:39 here comes the rain and the THUNDERBOLT SOUNDS!

[@burawick1]

Impressive. Its interesting how there was intense intracloud lightning but hardly any CGs.

[@mm-gl7sz]

All the severe storms were like that when I was a kid in WNY. Strong not severe thunderstorms back then seemed more severe than the severe ones. Now even there they either have no lightning (winter storms unless it's lake effect snow then there can be lightning like in a severe thunderstorm depending on how intense the lake snowband is)or lots of CG strikes. Even in long island severe storms have lots of CG

[@Heavnzsent615]
