oh my god so 2 days ago was the anniversary of the may 8th storm and i was in royalton and the sirens went off again and a huge storm came through with high winds

That was really crazy. I got footage of the June 8th event as well but its at night and hard to see. I rode yet another wind event out that night in Colp, Illinois. Seen some wicked clouds and lightning, lots a hail and rain and crazy winds!!!
