Strong Gustnado

I filmed a strong gustnado (at the very least) earlier today. This could even be a possible tornado. You can clearly see a coned shaped cloud form above the debris cloud just before dirt shoots up in a snake shape. The wind was extremely strong. I got dirt in my teeth and the wind pushed me up against my car and slammed the car door in to my body. I'm OK but there was at least four accidents associated with this storm that I saw on my way back through Columbus.

Hail Storm

Quick Severe Thunderstorm

This storm struck faster than I could find my camera. I did not feel like getting wet so I filmed from our terrace.

Incredible Lightning

I had the window of my car rolled up for the majority of this storm because lightning was striking so close and so frequently. Some of the closer strikes hurt my eyes and one actually set the car alarm in the car behind me off.

Lightning Producers

After a few storms that did not produce much lightning at all, these storms started popping up. We finally got to chase one during our ride home that night. We chased it from one side of Columbus to the other. We never really caught up to it (we were in a big industrial van), but it was still a fun trip.

Storms Rolling In

Again, this storm was not a great lightning producer, but it did knock out power to the traffic light down the road from us and caused minor flooding on our street.

Nighttime Downpour

There wasn't much lightning during this storm, but the rain was intense. It was kind of like a mini tsunami.
