We have had a Severe Thunderstorm Watch, 3 Severe Thunderstorm Warnings, and 1 Tornado Warning today and we haven't even had a single rumble of thunder, not one flash of lightning, or even one single drop of rain...


Weird...

To be fair (assuming you're in Wintersville based on your avatar and the warnings you mention):
The watch made sense, the conditions were obviously favorable.
Wintersville was on the VERY edge of the Tornado Warning polygon. The center of it (Irondale, Bergholz) had structural damage to houses and trees on houses.
2 of those 3 T-Storm warnings were for parts of Jefferson County that did NOT include Wintersville.

Technically they only did half as bad as you originally thought :)


It was the same way for my family in Salem, they didn't get shit for the most part. They issued about 4 T-Storm warnings for Columbiana County, but they only actually issued 1 of them to cover Salem, so they were pretty accurate there.

Yeah, well, we had a tornado warning in Deerfield and I was out on the lake when it hit. When the sky starts spinning, you ignore no wake zones lol.

But all I did was go back to the dock and stand there watching it because I was already soaked, suppose I might as well have just stayed on the boat.

Good storms here in Fairfield County since about 825 or so. No real damage that I can tell, some lawn furniture scattered and small branch damage, looked worse all around me.

You were in one hell of a spot to watch it. That fucker was spinning the most between Ravenna and Austintown.

When the Warning came out, I had just finished dinner and was heading into the pool to cool off and sweep it. I ran outside and looked at the sky... The sun was out and not a dark cloud around. I actually went ahead and got in the pool while the girlfriend and her daughter hunkered down in the basement thinking the world was about to end. lol The sky to the north did start to darken a bit but never realized. I stayed in the pool throughout the warning enjoying the sun. lol

Yeah I was out on Berlin by the 224 bridge when it started, it was crazy looking. No where near as nuts as that micro burst because when that hit I was surveying on the corner of Butcher and Lisbon-Canfield roads...that shit was beyond words.

There's a report of golf ball sized hail (1.75") from your town at 4:56 today from a trained spotter. Something had to have at least come close today!

I was in Cuyahoga Falls...just leaving work. When I got to Mogadore it wasn't even sprinkling. I missed it by about 15 minutes. All I saw today were sprinkles here and there.

We had tornado sirens going off in Pickerington around 7:45. Saw a lot of lightening, but didn't hear a lot of thunder. It poured for a good while too, but there was no hail that I could see. It was a decent storm.

It was pretty crazy at work last night. Our head manager made everyone who was loading get out of the trailers b/c of how bad the storm was.

in Blacklick at about 8, the power went out, then I was standing in my home office window looking outside and saw the rain blowing to the east, then the south, then the west, then the north. I then decided that I should go downstairs and wait out the storm there, lol.

Just goes to show that they can happen anywhere... That area has a good bit of hills. Could have been a lot worse if it happened in a less rural area.
