I always knew Oklahoma would be the death of us.

Oklahoma recently experienced what’s called a “supercell.” According to Wikipedia, this is “a thunderstorm characterized by the presence of a mesocyclone, a deep, persistently rotating updraft.”

I don’t know what that means, either, but thankfully there’s video to show us how it all went down.

People who actually observed the storm describe it as a sort of gate to Hell, with its opening matched by golf-ball-sized hail in the area. If that isn’t yet another sign to leave Oklahoma, I don’t know what is.
