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.
