Nighttime Thunderstorm With Heavy Rain

I shot this video on the night that I shot the last one. This storm was not as violent as the one I chased in to Delaware county, but all of the storms that night had extremely heavy rain fall which can be seen at the end of this video.

Storm Chase In Delaware County Ohio

As was posted earlier, there was a tornado watch yesterday evening through last night. A severe thunderstorm warning was issued for Delaware county, so I decided to jump on it. I spotted a wall cloud and a potential funnel cloud/missed tornado while I was out there. It was dark and there were a ton of scud. However, a still image that I extracted from the part of the video where I exclaimed "funnel cloud" revealed that my eyes may not have been deceiving me. Click on the image belowe to take a better look.


Either way, this was a monster storm, and since it was night I kept plenty of distance from the worst parts of it. There was huge cloud to ground lightning.

Tornado Watch

There is currently a tornado watch for most of Ohio. There was a tornado warning in Henry county earlier.



While it was too far for me to travel to, Reed Timmer and his TornadoVideos.net team was there. If they happen to upload a video, I'll be sure to post it.

Edit 1: The same cell just went tornado warned again. The storm is currently in Wood county and heading for Sandusky county.

Edit 2: A tornado warning was just issued for northern Hardin county. This storm is moving toward Wyandot county and Upper Sandusky.
