Guest 78novaman Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Yep had a good one tonight. It was 84*F and a cold front coming through. We still have some rumbles about but the damage is over. There was a funnel cloud spotted due west of us (I-71 & Webber) and the storm was headed due east toward us at the I-270 & Hamiltion Rd exchange. I feel lucky there wasn't a tornado on our heads, just a bunch of golf sized hail & ~50mph gusts. I've always wanted to go storm chasing, this time it came to me Storm is a 'comin! Veiw to the WNW from in front of my apartment: http://www.retarp.com/pics/hail/storms_brewing.jpg Rain coming down pretty good, you can see the start of some hail: http://www.retarp.com/pics/hail/hail_start.jpg Then it gets DARK and it really starts coming down! I had to close the balcony door because hail was coming into the living room! http://www.retarp.com/pics/hail/christmas_in_october_2.jpg Then I ventured outside when it died down about 10 mins later, yes 10 mins of hail! http://www.retarp.com/pics/hail/christmas_in_october_0.jpg http://www.retarp.com/pics/hail/christmas_in_october_1.jpg Here is a pic of the backside of the storm, that thunderhead was huge! http://www.retarp.com/pics/hail/thunderhead.jpg and last but not least, the hail I picked out of the grass about 20 minutes after the storm was over! http://www.retarp.com/pics/hail/golf_sized_hail.jpg There were tornado sirens going off most of the time, and I had my head out the door listening to hear the train noise of a tornado. I had my scanner on and heard the weather net fellas talking about penny to golf sized hail so I put our truck and car under the parking shelter(my apartment doesn't have garages to rent, the have shelters) -- good thing too considering. My neighbor across the way has dents all over her Saturn ION -so much for dent resistant! Another neighbor had her windshield cracked, but a fellow I was talking to in another building didn't have any damage to his Ford Escape! Anyone else with pics feel free to add to this!
