We don't get weather like that every day, but in the spring it's fairly common at least somewhere in the state. There's a high risk of severe weather (high winds, big hail, and/or tornadoes) across a good portion of Oklahoma later today, in fact.

I actually love this kind of weather; it's fascinating. It can be dangerous, though, as well as expensive. The storm in the video shattered three storm windows on the north side of our house, cracked the windshields of both of our vehicles, made many small dents in both vehicles, and damaged our roof to the extent that it needs to be replaced. In fact, everyone in our neighborhood needs a new roof now. Roofing contractors and insurance adjusters will be very busy here in the next few weeks.
