Experienced some excitement during last night's severe storms that rolled through Central Ohio. This happened sometime between 8:30 pm and 9:00 pm. I noticed what appeared to be a hook echo approximately SE of West Jefferson. The track took it NE between Hilliard and Columbus. Shortly thereafter a TVS signature showed on the GRlevel3 radar. By this time the thunderstorm was producing pea-sized hail. My car was parked outside during the hail storm. I have not been able to determine yet if there is any damage to the car. In this type of storm, what's the next step? You got it, we lost power (bye bye radar)! By the time power was restored, a short time later, the TVS signature was gone. There was no tornado warning issued for this event and neither Channel 4 or Channel 10 interrupted normal broadcasting. So it was over as quickly as it started. Not sure if we had brief rotation or the hail triggered the TVS signature.
Speaking of tornadoes, this is Tornado Week on The Weather Channel. The have new episodes of "Storm Stories" and "Storm Riders". Meanwhile, I am going to have Johnsweathermania's version of "Tornado Week". Recorded coverage of the May 3, 1999 tornado that hit Oklahoma City. The classic movies "Tornado" and "Twister" (I would enjoy these movies much more if they would have left out all the 'Global Warming' crap!!). New this year are all three seasons of "Storm Chasers" ! Hopefully, this will carry me over until the severe season kick into full gear! The Gulf of Mexico seems to be warming up and Dew Points are now starting rise so it should be soon, as a matter of fact, Henry says there will be severe storms over the next few days. That's all for now Ciao!
