Spectacular Lightning and Tornado Warning

VIDEO INFORMATION BELOW!

This video is of the two strong storms that came through here earlier.

The first formed in Iowa during the afternoon and quickly turned into a bow echo as it raced here at 55-75 mph with tops as high as 67,000 feet. It struck around 8:00 pm with clear rotation and a nearby funnel cloud (not captured on video as it was too dark and I was unable to see it). During some of the lightning flashes you can see the high wind and driving rain. While I don't think the wind was as high here as in some other places, there were two reported tornado touchdowns as well as a 94 mph gust over Lake Michigan (after it had passed here).

The second storm started off small (though still with plenty of lightning), it quickly grew severe as it sat over us, with high wind, heavy rain, and a little small hail. The videos of this storm are far less eventful, but there are still a few good lightning strikes.
