Quarter to golf-ball sized hail, Tornado on the ground near College Corner.
46,000 foot tall storm. Strong rotation.
I grew up in Butler County. Played softball in College Corner many times.
Prayers up for everyone there.
Been some bad ones this spring here in MN as well.....
Everybody get some good shelter!
This near you?
I live at the other end of Butler county on the northeast Warren County line and we’re getting rain and lightening, but not too much else.
Is this anywhere near Columbus, OH? Family lives south of Columbus. Prayers up for Ohio area.
Wife and kids in the basement. Parents in basement. Me? Jr. Presidential Suite with hot tub and fireplace in Niagra Falls, Ontario. Oh well someone has to go out and work.
Franklin area here ... butler/wareen county line. We are halfway between Cincy and Dayton .... have seen 2 hooks and one funnel form. Have headed to basement twice.
Columbus is 90 miles EastNorhEast of us.
Rough night until 3 a.m. Strong string of weather from here to west of Indianapolis
The worst of it is headed for exactly that area according to the Weather Channel.
We aren’t in harms way, but sure can see a lot of lightening.
But locals are saying it may start falling apart soon. We do have some 70 mile an hour winds nearby. Some shear. Some rotation. Heading into Warren County soon.
Carlisle.
Nope. More than 100 miles away.
howdy neighbor ... looks like a rough nite ... its a straigh line west of us all the way to Ill. and seems to be coming right for us. Stay safe
Thanks, wish I was home but I am in Niagra Falls on business.
I know Buffalo well .... did a lot of testing over the years at calspan ..... mostly in winter months
Good but stay safe anyway...
Good luck out there, everyone. If you would like to see some really wild footage of the Memorial Day EF5 in Iowa that destroyed the town of Parkersburg:

The two videos are from bank surveillance cameras. One camera inside the bank; and one outside that shows the destruction of the house across the street. Totally, amazing.
What don’t you have on your computer? Songs, pics & weather...Are you a computer whiz? I am glad its not coming my way. We were under one last weekend at the trailer.
Storms are weaker, but are heading north east. Columbus probably will get something, but again, the storms are weakening.
Looks like we may have had some tornados touch down but any damage is minimal. Definite praise.
Hope everyone there is safe.
Pretty wild in the KC area tonight. TV showed a wall cloud where a tornado was trying to form. Made a run to the store and saw the cloud. One son and I played storm chaser for a little while but the lightning chased us back home.
Very intense lightning and very heavy rain. When you can see the flash, hear it and smell it at the same time the lightning is close.
Gasoline storage tank was hit by lightning in Kansas City Kansas. 2,436,000 gallons of gasoline are burning.
I grew up in Butler county. Miami grad x2.
I was born and raised in Fairfield Ohio
