Many of the flashes streaked very long across the sky with loud thunder. Then very VERY heavy rain like a garden hose in which our house we ALMOST never hear the rain snince it's over insulated.
Oh. It's tomorrow already! I gotta go to bed! Hope we don't get another surprise storm this morning waking up me.
Here in Silverton Oregon this morning around 3:30 I woke up to lots of bright lightning that made the sky look like day for about 40 mins of almost non stop lightning. I actually saw the flashes in every direction except west though there were non that touched the ground I could see. Usually the lightning if any is too far away to see anything other then a flash.
It's been humid as heck lately as if we were on the east coast with dew points around 60 here before and after the storms.
I remember this storm in Vancouver WA although I heard the storm was stronger in salem, it still packed a punch when it hit my area, with 55-60mph wind. it was cool
I was out for a run in Corvallis when this happened. It was stupid of me to do but I saw the clouds as they were a greenish color and decided to go running anyways...as I approached an intersection a lady drove up to me and told me that I needed to get inside because there was a severe t-storm warning. I continued on and ran through the core of this thing. I was freaking out with bolts hitting everywhere. i had to hide under a bridge with a biker and then it passed and I wen home. it cont'd latr
I was there in west Salem. So many lightning bolts touched down outside the house. Then it all went silent... No rain, wind or lighting for like a minute. This was some scary stuff to be in. This video gives the storm no justice, you would have to be there to really appreciate how dangerous it could have been for Salem, Oregon. Great video though
DUDE that one was CRAZY! at the time i lived over by the DMV on portland road. I heard the tornado was coming. im like oh shit oh shit. it was AWESOME! then when it was over i went to the coast with my mom trying to chase it but it ended up switching dirrection.
I guess ScratchMasterSPAZZ lives in Kansas and sees this stuff all the time. Here in the northwest thought it rains quite a bit but very rare the weather gets this wacky.
@ScratchMasterSPAZZ You are right, this is not the best storm around here. Back in the I thing '70s when I was in Calapooia elementary School in Albany I saw tornado or funnel cloud roping in and out of the clouds. I was scared shitless being 8 or 9 years old and trying to tell a playground official and they were oblivious to the tornado and ignored me. I remember when getting home and heard on the ol' black and white tube a couple of houses got there roofs ripped off.
@ScratchMasterSPAZZ hey dump truck, this is imahull, and i wasn't talking about the video, i was talking about the entire storm its self dumb fuck, we hardly ever get severe stroms like this one with a tornado warning
This storm was insane. I had the tornado part of "The Wizard of Oz" going through my head during the worst of it, and I'm not usually one to overreact during a storm. The worst storm I've ever seen, though I missed the Columbus Day one, as I wasn't born yet.
lol yeah. But I missed some of the worst of it because I accidentally turned the camera off. One of the tall trees in the video lost a few big branches and they went flying.
In on the NE side of town between sunnyview and silverton. I was out driving in it!!! I was pushing water down the road with my bumper at most major intersections, and I could barely see the tail lights in front of me. I kept looking for funnel clouds luckily never saw anything come close to touching the ground. Our whole yard/garage flooded, tree limbs down in our front yard, and no power when we came home. LOVELY. Best storm I've ever been in.
