HURRICANE ERIN BLASTS OHIO LIGHTNING FUNNEL CLOUD (07.08.22

Hurricane/Tropical Storm Erin over Ohio, showing thunder, lightening, mammatus clouds, sailboats, seagulls, bats, geese. Taken around 8-9:30 pm on 07.08.22. Near the center of the first formation shown are cumulous mammatus clouds, which can be associated with tornados. Later someone in the next county sighted a tornado and the Licking County sirens went off according to the 11:00 NBC news. Hurricanes are destructive not only on the coast, their remnants (as shown here) cause much interior damage. In Ohio, as much as 1 foot of rain fell within a few hours in some areas. Severe flooding inundated several places. Several counties were declared disaster areas.

A funnel cloud was reported over the Alum Creek Lake three days after this (while still in the weather pattern) and emergency procedures were activated:

Note in the last portion of the video, that before many of the lightening strikes, the clouds could be seen dancing (especially the portion in the center of the cloud formation). Sometimes they became a little brighter. Then there would be a lightening strike.

John Purdue purchased a farm for his sister in this area. At that time, it was a woods with a small trail. Since 1973, it has been the Alum Creek Recreation area.

I saw these storms last night on my way back to Lewis Center from Plain City. Lots of really good lightning.

They were neat clouds. I watched them from the top of the Alum Creek Dam before the sunset.
