3. I looked up the weather in western Georgia since I have a friend living there. It showed

steady rain, winds under 20 mph and no severe weather warnings. I use Weather Underground as
my source. The following information is available at their home page:

Three people were injured in Brewton, Alabama. Trees and utility poles were reported down in the Florida Panhandle. High-water rescues were carried out in Slidell, Louisiana.

Tropical Storm Claudette spawned a tornado that left dozens of homes in splintered ruins Saturday in southern Alabama.

"We've got probably about 50 homes pretty much destroyed," Escambia County, Alabama, Sheriff Heath Jackson told weather.com in a phone call Saturday afternoon.

Three people were injured, two of them "pretty critically," Jackson said.

note: The above information is from The Weather Channel*. Weather Underground takes us there.

4. My area was hit by tornadoes yesterday, in SW Ohio...

... but you're clearly referring to your part of the country.



The lightning and hail from that storm were INSANE around here, more interesting to me than the tornadoes. I've never observed such frequent lightning strikes in my life.

Edit: Link to other pics. The pics of lightning would've been pretty easy given the frequency.

6. I looked up YouTube videos later...

... and a recording from a storm chaser, who was in Colorado at the time, showed that he was expecting stronger tornadoes around here given the radar indicators. But we kept getting lucky with various "tails" from the storm dissipating. As far as I know, we had no deaths from it.

The storm clouds were at high altitude with all that hail, associated with a lot of static charge too.

Before it reached this area, the regular booms of the distant thunder was unlike anything that I've experienced too. It was more like a constant roar, to the point that I started questioning if it was really thunder.
