Oklahomans Capture Stunning Footage Of The Norman Tornado

Oklahoma saw multiple tornado-warned storms on Tuesday, June 3. Not all storms produced a tornado, but they all had the capability. One tornado that was confirmed on the ground struck near Norman, Oklahoma.

Footage and photos of tornados is often hard to capture. Sometimes tornadoes are rain-wrapped or they touch down in the pitch black of night and can only be seen through strikes of lightning.

But on Tuesday the tornado that touched down near Norman occurred during the daytime and was not rain-wrapped, so residents in the area were able to get a lot of footage of the event. This also proves that people who have lived in Oklahoma all their lives go outside to see tornadoes before taking shelter.

Local news stations had storm spotters all across the state tracking severe weather. On Tuesday afternoon, a band of storms stretched all the way from the Oklahoma/Texas border all the way up to Oklahoma City, so all of the storm spotters and chasers were scattered along I-44. Luckily, there were several Oklahomans that live near Norman and Newcastle that were able to get incredible photos and footage from the tornado that touched down Tuesday.

One Oklahoman near Newcastle got some incredible footage of the tornado forming and touching the ground.
