Dramatic video shows huge WALL CLOUD touch down in Oklahoma as forecasters issue warning that multiple tornadoes will follow.
Intrepid storm-chasers captured footage of massive wall cloud moving through south-central Oklahoma Wednesday night - a startling sight as forecasters had issued warnings that multiple tornadoes could batter the state.
The scary clip, filmed in the rural town of Stratford roughly 70 miles from Oklahoma City, shows the rotating mass forming miles in the distance, briefly made visible through repeated flashes of lighting.
A wall cloud refers to a large, and often abrupt mass of cloud that forms beneath low-flying storm clouds. Usually seen descending from the sky to sea levels, the masses are one of the main precursors to debilitating twisters.
With this in mind, officials in the Sooner State issued tornado warnings in multiple counties as severe weather was seen moving across Oklahoma and into Arkansas, out of a tornado-rife region regularly tabbed 'Tornado Alley.'
Gavin County - which houses storm-plagued Stratford and lays on the cusp the aforementioned area - was one of several counties to receive this alert, with residents of the tiny town of 1,400 among thousands told to take shelter.
