This is footage that I took from my shop in NE Oklahoma early Sept. of 2012. I was working when I noticed the odd cloud formations & grabbed my camera. No sooner did I start filming and as you can see & hear the storm roll's in like a bat outa hell.
Keep in mind this was a clear, wind free, sunny, blue sky day, that was in the 110 degree range. The storm was an extreme cold front that took the temperature where I was from 110 - 60s in a matter of moments. Fatalities, Damage Reported In Northeast Oklahoma Storm

A fast-moving cold front swept into Oklahoma Friday afternoon, spawning
severe thunderstorms and bringing dramatically cooler temperatures with
it.
Damage from high winds is reported in several northeast Oklahoma,
including Nowata, Tulsa, Rogers, Wagoner, Okmulgee, Creek, Osage,
Craig, and Delaware.
There have been four confirmed deaths in connection with this storm.
Three people died in Nowata County when their mobile home was destroyed.
Also, a Missouri semi truck driver died on the Will Rogers Turnpike
near Miami, when straight-line winds caught the trailer of the semi and
pushed it over onto its side, on top of a cement retaining wall.

Temperatures ahead of the front hit triple digits, while
temperatures behind it fell into the low 70s and even the high 60s in
places.
The front spawned severe thunderstorms in southern Kansas, as well
as one that blew through Washington and Nowata Counties, and even one
in the Oklahoma City area.
