Wow, we just had tons of rain that flooded King Avenue here. No hail, but enough thunder that my cat was under the bed and even refused dinner.

I got free Taco Bell thanks to mother nature. I was at the Taco Bell drivethrough by South Campus. I handed the guy my debit card, a huge lightning bolt hit a building less than a block away, shook my car and knocked out their credit card machine.... long story short, they just gave me the food free.

German Village is a wreck. Starbucks, Cup O Joe, The Book Loft, G.Michaels, Katsingers, etc all closed from flooding. Cars are washed up in front of homes...it's nuts.

NoFi has trees down everywhere. There's a HUGE tree blocking my entire street so I can only get to my house from High.
We had all the windows open and that last big gust ripped through my house like a tornado. It was scary. Sorry about your wine glasses, Lew :( I hope the Dube and donuts makes up for it!!
Harrison West got hit pretty hard too. Lots of homeowners out and about assessing damages and trying to do some clean up.
And we lost power, shocker :cry:

King ave was a *river* flowing east all the way from the divide between the scioto/olentagy rivers at Cambridge blvd. The road is now covered in patches of sediments of various size.
I have no idea how much rain per minute it takes to flood King ave up to the sidewalks but I have never seen it happen before tonight. Judging from my garden it looks like we got a good solid 4 inches in 30 minutes.

National Weather Service confirmed it was 1.3" inches rain per 15 minutes and winds topped 72mph just north of Downtown mostly Short North area. Belexy was the one hardest hit as well.

Left my apartment this evening and Kenny was flooded, came back this evening and it wasn't flooded. Where dooos this waters go? down the hole?
That was some crazy ass storming, and I had the top off of the Jeep on the ride home and now it is moist and clean on the inside. Thank heavens for drainplugs in Jeeps, but I was wet and cold when I got back to Columbus earlier!
