HFS. The largest storm I have ever experienced has just passed through here. Winds in Ann Arbor, Michigan, were reported to go up to 95 mph. There were no tornadoes, but there were a few funnel clouds.
At our school, power went out at 1:51 PM. Five minutes before that we were marvelling at the hugmongus dark blue-green clouds above us. After the storm passed, the road in front of our school was flooded. Some high schoolers came to our school, claiming they went through waist-deep water to get there, with proof to back it up. As we passed through town, we saw too many downed branches to count. Small roads were sometimes clogged with water. Sediment was dropped off over all the pavement. When we finally got back home, we were glad to see nothing was damaged, and that the pwer did not go out. The pond in our backyard was unnaturally large, but that was of little matter to us. Has anyone else been hit by the storm, or do you have any good storm stories? Last edited by OfaLoaf; 2004-05-21 at 03:51 PM. Reason: I need to spell 'blue' right. |

Wow, Ann Arbor? In Columbus we had some lighting and heavy rain last night, but nothing like you described it.

Holy crap!!
That storm you had just reached my town, and it is coming down in lead sheets. We are on the tip of the bow echo, and it is hell here. I live in Delaware county, and the tornado is SE of where I am. My friend started freaking out, but here the weather is childs play compared to Dallas in Spring. |

Ive been under two tornades and very close to many. One time I was spending the night over at a friends house. There were three of us, and my friend lived in an apartment complex near the lake and one of the guys ran out to the boat dock and then the tornado hit. He was on the boat dock in a port a jon while the tornado was right across the lake. We saw him running back as fast as he could to the apartment while I looked outside I could see the tornado. Its about 45 Minutes later and the tornado has passed but there is lighting and hail everywhere, the same guy who was in the port a jon ran to his house to grab his game of Monopoly Golf. Stupid but Funny Guy (btw, he looks just like 1024); one time he also set someones yard on fire.

The sky was fucking badass man. Pure green. Absolutely no shift in the color from green to blue, it just happend as if a line was seperating them (I live in Dearborn [just south of Detroit]). It just started back up again too... crazy shit, all lightning.

I had a really bad lightning right outside my house a few months ago. there were tread marks all over my yard.
but seriously I had one the day after I got a surge protector for my comp, and lightning hit my house and screwed up the electrical system. after that my house kind of went into a coma state where the TVs, lights, and stuff didnt work, but the internet and power outlets worked fine. |
