A few pics from storms- 2010 12 Months ago Karma: 0
Hello all from Western Oklahoma. I've been an avid storm fan since I was a kid. I'm new to this forum. I thought I'd take the opportunity to share a few pics and say hi. I grew up in Western Oklahoma although I live in OKC now. The first is a funnel I caught as it it was forming. It touched down very briefly, but I was driving and a bit slow to grab the camera. This is North of Custer City, Oklahoma. Spring, 2010.

Here's one of what I believe is 2 on the ground. Actually taken from nearly the same spot as the last pic but on a different day. This one is several miles north of my location. Fyi these are both shot within a few miles of my house.

Last but not least, a close one. This one came right at me. Had to hit the shelter. I took the shot from my friend's front yard. Luckily it didn't quite touch down until after it had passed us. It hit just west of Custer City. The pic is a bit blurry as the wind was blowing around 80 mph at the time. Hope y'all enjoy the pics. Nice to meet ya. 2011 wasn't much of a storm season for this area. 2012 has been a bit more active. I hope to get out and get some more shots soon. Thanks for reading.

These are some great photos!

Do you have any exact dates for these events?

Just curious

Closest I can get is 2nd or 3rd week of May, 2010. They were uploaded off my camera May 19 of that year so that's about as close as I can get.

Here's a couple from the major hail storm that hit Oklahoma City a couple weeks ago. I watched the storm until the wind got strong enough that it started blowing baseball sized hail up under my porch and one went through the mesh on my screen and bounced across the living room floor shattering on the wooden leg of my chair Time to shut the door! I went outside and picked one up afterwords but it had already melted considerably. still around golfball size in pic.

Here's a car from the aftermath. I'm guessing this one was up on the northside where they said they got grapefruit sized hail. I took this pic about 2 days later. The largest of these holes is considerably larger than my fist.
