There are thunderstorms and then there are thunderstorms over Oklahoma. The Sooner State always seems to feature storms that are another level of intensity above what the rest of America sees. A new timelapse video proves that point showing lightning raging in the clouds over the plains.
Apparently it's National Lightning Safety Awareness Week right now. We weren't sure how that was relevant in late June. But based on their findings, it actually is.
In the fourth inning of last Sunday’s Twins and Rangers game, a storm cloud near the Ballpark in Arlington moved in and caused some of the most epic thunder that you will ever hear.
Mike Akers was visiting his parents in Queens, NY, when a freak storm swept through the area on Monday night, bringing thunder, lightning and baseball-sized hail.
In this amateur video, which aired on ‘Today,’ Akers filmed from the relative safety of his parents’ porch when, suddenly, lightning struck in the front yard and smashed a tree to pieces.
