Chased severe (and possibly tornadic) storm from Muncie to near Farmland, Indiana. Several close CGs followed by one right next to the car, while getting hit with 1" hail. A barn was destroyed and house damaged by a possible tornado 1 mile south of us.

  • Were those last strikes so close that the thunder was inaudible? Or was it because the GOON in the car with you was hollerin' so loud he drowned it out?

  • The one at 6:50 was the closest. The lightning and thunder were virtually simultaneous. It coudln't have hit more than 20 or 30 feet outside the car.

  • We are from Whiteland (approx. 20 mi south of Indy) we never get shit :p

  • If you check out my June 10, 2004 video, I went through New Whiteland that day, tracking two wall clouds with the occasional funnels.

    What started me chasing in the first place (14 years ago), is I got tired of watching storms on radar that would be coming my way and ALWAYS weaken before getting to me... so I decided to go to the storm, rather than waiting for the storm to come to me :)

  • Nice footage, Randolph county always gets hit so hard :(

  • Actually, I grew up south of Monroe Central school, and never got anything over there until I moved to Muncie, then stuff started hitting there all the time... lol. Thanks for the comment!

  • Woweee...fellas..I love this awesome AWESOME video....especially with the many closeby CG-strikes and huge thunderclaps from the middle on that you captured from inside your nice car......that is the kind of video that make my mouth water all over...excellent footage of the incredible Tstorms you videotaped from THU 6/30/05.... that was 1 month, 1 day after my impressive 5/29/05-Tstorm videos...also on YouTube.

  • have you seen baseball size hail before?

  • Did you ever hear a snap just before the thunder in any thunderstorm?
