7/4/2026-Severe storm with 90+ mph winds, quarter-sized hail strikes Norman, OK

Another special Sunday upload, but it's not a train video this time around! Last night, Mother Nature decided to put on her own fireworks display by sending a destructive, severe storm through Norman. Two outflow boundaries converged on the southwest side of the OKC metro, which produced a squall line that rapidly intensified into a 90+ mph wind storm. The fireworks in Norman were cancelled prior to the storms striking, but I don't think anyone expected this. The Max Westhimer airport recorded wind gusts of 68, 90, and 92 mph; trees and power poles were blown down, and structural damage occurred. Quarter-size hail was also reported. The storm seen here is 1 of the fiercest I've ever seen; it was literally 20 minutes of sheer mayhem as winds of 80+ mph whipped through our neighborhood. The video was actually 13 minutes and 37 seconds long, but I trimmed off part of the beginning and the end via Wondershare Filmora, so only the part with the crazy winds as well as the hail is shown. I haven't uploaded any weather videos to my channel in 9 years, but I decided to put this on the main channel for visibility purposes. Future weather videos will be uploaded to the Chess Eric Vlog channel, which is being rebooted for that purpose.
