Apocalyptic aerial footage shows Oklahoma storms seen from plane

A plane passenger captured extraordinary video of Oklahoma storms from the sky on Thursday (23 April).

Ben Levine said he captured this "nuts" footage as he flew past Enid.

A confirmed tornado moved across parts of the city of around 50,000 people on Thursday, the National Weather Service said.

The powerful weather ripped roofs off buildings and knocked down power poles.

There were no immediate reports of fatalities and only minor injuries hours after the tornado passed through, according to the Garfield County Sheriff's Office.

The National Weather Service in Norman issued a tornado emergency alert for Enid until 8:45pm CDT on Thursday, warning of possible golf ball-sized hail.
