08/11/2005: "The Lightning Core"

As you can see from the RADAR below, that was quite a storm that hit Danville. I heard the thunder coming for about 45 minutes before it actually hit. At one point the lightning was so intense and so close, I hid from the windows (something I don't normally do for a storm) and sat in the hallway.

I had turned on my scanner just in time to hear a Severe Thunderstorm Warning AND a Tornado Warning for my location. The Dopplar indicated tornado was just south of town. When the rain first started, I saw pea-sized hail coming down. Only briefly though. Then the torrential downpour began.

Anyway, the storm passed, and we got some much needed rain. It was an exciting afternoon.
