Storm's here
the trees look like they're bending.

Columbus radar looks nasty.

1. Ours started about 1 1/2 hrs ago..again.
It stopped long enough for me to unclog the storm drain so my "waterfront" property could drain.

Did you get any of the storms last night? We were pummeled but not as bad as Toledo.

Stay safe..our tornado sirens went off 4 times over 6 hrs last night.

2. We were spared last night
everything seemed to go north. I'm north of the city. The wind is so bad I can't get my back door open. Tree limbs are flying and the weather radio is screeching.

Oy! But it's supposed to cool off a little. I hope the sump pump can keep up.

Glad you're okay. :)

6. I need a sump pump for our shed..
I had to wade through ankle deep water to get a shovel to unclog that drain.

The wind is what really scares me. It was really bad a few times last night. We didn't get much wind today so far..just lots of rain and some pea size hail.

Hope your sump keeps up too. My son said his has ran continuously since yesterday afternoon.

stay safe and dry! :hi:

8. Heading down to check it now
I have a typical farmhouse basement - small rivers of water all heading toward the pump. I'm not sure what stuff my daughter left on the basement floor when she moved back in from the doorm, but I do know it's all in cardboard boxes.

10. Ahhh..I know how that is..farmhouse here too
Glad you responded..I haven't checked to see where my kid left the boxed laundry detergent! The last box she left on the floor turned to mush.

9. This is true...
But like this thunderstorm, all of them should pass eventually.

7. Wow
That was amazing. No hail but the wind was incredible. Lots of tree limbs down including one in front of the garage door.
