  • Just before midnight on June 17, 2023, Tulsa Oklahoma was impacted by a QLCS bowing storm feature with extreme 90-100+ mph wind gusts. Damage across the Tulsa metro area was widespread with massive tree and power line damage along with some roof and structure damage.
    This video was filmed at 31st and Lewis in midtown Tulsa. All of the blue/green colored flashes are power lines/transformers arching.

    It was a scary storm. I saw idk how many power flashes and when the storm came through, my house sounded like it was rumbling at one point. Won’t ever forget this storm.

    In Tulsa, Ok it's an "Extreme Wind Event" - where I live, it's last Tuesday.
    In December thru February winds can be expected to exceed 90 - 105 MPH at least ten times up here. IT IS AMAZING !
    The people, the buildings, the trees, and the electric company are on alert but take it in stride.

    I slept through it. No reason to get out of bed since there’s not much you can do while it’s happening! Our area had significant tree, fence and homes damaged, but all my neighbors came through it. Everyone was out later Sunday into Monday helping clear the streets and helping each other out.

    As bad as this was, it could have been even WORSE, believe it or not! Back in August 10, 2020, a derecho DEVASTATED the state of Iowa; and it hit Cedar Rapids with 140 mph winds! It ended up being the most expensive thunderstorm in U.S. history, when it causes some $11 billion worth of damage!

      This wasn’t even a derecho. I don’t think officially. I can’t find anywhere from the nws that calls it a derecho. Sometime after this a derecho went through Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana. Consistent large swath of 60mph+ wind along all three states. Recorded gusts of 90mph. Nothing can compare to a proper massive derecho.

    Tornado warning set in Tulsa, Oklahoma with the 100 mile per hour winds and packing with the strain of tornadoes 🌪️ and warnings set sirens go under the basement and do not go inside mobile homes when the twisters hit with packing straight line winds over 100 mph. Tornado warnings were heard over the city of Tulsa when the tornadoes 🌪️ touching the ground and it is very dangerous to be in the weather like that. I lived in Arizona for a while with the monsoons are different with those storms in the desert southwest.

      not tropically formed over the Gulf or Atlantic. Hurricanes weaken the further they get over land. For example, I live in Orlando. When Ian struck Ft Myers it was 150 mph winds, but the time it got to Orlando the winds were 60-70 mph at most. I never even lost power but I did see power flashes and heard transformers blow. This storm was either a Derecho, super cell or a microburst. Microbursts come with no warning and are isolated areas, and it seemed like people knew about this ahead of time.
