Tornado Watch And Snow

A Tornado Watch is in effect until 1AM tonight. Tomorrow we get snow. A Tornado Warned super cell just recently dissipated near Dayton.

First Day Of Spring

It's the first day of spring and I've been wearing a jacket. I've been told that this is typical for central Ohio by my room mates and the news stations.

Tarnado Warnings

A cell passing through Fort Wayne, Indiana and another cell passing between Greenup and Madison has been tornado warned. The tornado warning for the Fort Wayne cell has been extended to the next counties over in Ohio. However, I am more concerned about the system other system as more cells are firing up in it and heading towards us. However, I'm thinking the lack of daylight time may weaken these storms or they could still swing south or even north of us.

Thunderstorms Likely

The slow transition to spring will become ever more apparent in the region today Sunday as thunderstorms are likely after 10AM in Franklin county. One thunderstorm has already hit sever near the town of Lima.



Edit: I made a slight mistake and got the days mixed up. Thunderstorms will move through Franklin county starting tomorrow.

60+ MPH Winds

This was shot on the night of February 12th and the morning of February 14th 2009. We where under a high wind warning with winds reaching well over 60 MPH. Weakened trees from a winter storm a few weeks earlier downed trees causing them to fall on power lines that put many in the region in the dark, including us for at least 10 hours. While I was out in it, I witnessed numerous power flashes. One of our neighbor's tree tipped over from the winds of an earlier thunderstorm.

Lightning Flash And Thunder

This is the first lightning flash and thunder that I have filmed. It is also the first lightning that I have seen this year. I saw the bolt but my camera wasn't pointed at it. :(
