Wow. Crazy wind + highway construction = instant dirt/dust storm. The sky went brown around our house for a minute there.

Our power is out too. Which is weird, as we're City Electric and not AEP, and we usually have power while the rest of the block does not...

Lost 2 trees on my block in VV. A bunch of branches down, too. The traffic lights are out to the west of Neil, but (shockingly) my electric is up and running.

I was on 270 and Cleveland Ave heading west and have never seen it go from sunny to dark so fast. Traffic was 5 miles an hour all the way to Dublin.. not the craziest storm ever, but probably top 5.

It was insane downtown on high. Dumpsters were flipped over.

kroger in WP power is out too, their wifi must be on their generator or something.
Also someone just got maced in there trying to steal a bunch of things in the power outage confusion. I went to go buy some things and could not stop coughing. then noticed everyone was coughing. I thought it was like the beginning of contagion until I asked the clerk what happened.

Lightning strike here shook the whole house for a good 30 seconds. My cat is under the bed. I almost joined her.

Power flickered here a few times so I shut everything off to prevent damage.
No damage here, but some much needed rain (not enough) and the temperature has dropped (in my back yard) from 97 at 4:30 to 71 at 6pm. Got all the windows open and it feels FANTASTIC!
Something *just* got hit by lightning up the road. was slightly blinded by that for a moment so I'm just gonna hit send the send button
