Memorial Day Tornadoes

Hope everyone is safe...same for friends and family!

 

As a weather buff, I was transfixed by the radar images...we get tornado warnings in Franklin County but I hadn't seen so much rotation in storms since I can remember. Sad to see some of the damage out of Dayton, but I'm a little surprised that there wasn't more damage being reported this morning.

 

I heard Circleville got walloped...Pataskala looked like something should've happened but must not have touched down.

They reported on the news of an unconfirmed tornado about 2 miles from my house (between Gahanna and Pataskala in Blacklick), but not sure it actually happened. It was a little strange to watch the wind pick up and slow down that much multiple times in about 15 minutes. Otherwise nothing happened and I didn't see any damage when I left for work this morning.

Played xBox through it all while watching the radar and chatboxing. Sirens went off 11 times. Tornado supposedly touched down somewhere here but I haven't even been outside yet since I'm working from home. Heard heavy rain but that's about it.

I've never heard the sirens go off in the 8 years we've lived in my house, and we heard Hilliard as well as Dublin's sirens going. Wife was unnerved but the radar showed us in the gap between the one that tore through Dayton and the one that went through Marysville and Delaware. It was definitely interesting to see the intensity. Seems like storms are going to be fun this year.

I heard about this on the news this morning, but I've never seen it before: note the red spot at the southern end of the western "hook echo"; that's the debris cloud from the tornado. Crazy stuff.

 

I'm reminded of the Xenia tornadoes of 1974...before my time, but the stuff of Ohio weather lore...

Customer and good friend of mine lost his business on North Dixie. Decent size electrical contractor and the building is done, lost his office, one truck ended up 50yards down the street into a building, multiple bucket trucks, storage garage completely blew away, etc. The photos he sent me literally looks like a bomb went off. There was a two story house to the left and right of his shop. One of them lost the entire second floor and the other house got picked up from the foundation and moved a couple feet.

 

Two days before he drove me away in my wedding in a 53’ Chevy and now he lost his business. Crazy.

You can see a pic further down the article. Sorry for your friend...if it's him, looks like a hell of a lot of damage. :(

I was down trying to help clear brush and debris in Trotwood on Wednesday. Its a mess. We were in Beavercreek on Friday and it was even worse.

 

Insurance adjusters were out in force cutting checks and taking care of the policy holders. People were driving around offering cold water and donated food for volunteers to eat.

 

The sense of community after something like this is amazing. Some people lost everything but they are balls deep with a chainsaw helping everyone else put their life back together.

One of my coworkers in circleville lost their house too. [emoji21]

 

Good news is our company kicked in and started up a great go fund me page to help out and with over 6000 co workers support and ability to offer time off days they should pull through okay.
