Much stronger wind gusts, over hurricane force over 74mph , are expected. Even sustained hurricane force winds may occur for a short time between the Mississippi River and I About 6 — 12 inches of rain is expected through the middle of next week, and could lead to flooding issues.
Most of it will fall by Monday morning. The combination of very heavy rain and storm surge advancing from the south will cause significant flooding along Lakes Maurepas and Pontchartrain. With rainfall totals that could exceed 10 inches in parts of south Louisiana between Sunday and Monday, rises on local rivers are expected. The above graphic shows the latest forecast crests.

Again this was verified by WHIO on the air seconds after I mentioned it to Terry in my narrative of what we were looking at. Around this time pm approx.. Terry and I looked at each other and she asked whether we need to take shelter. We heard the winds increasing at this point and sounds of sporadic hail hitting the house and roof. The hail was not heavy or especially large. At that point the TV went out and the lights started flashing on and off and on and off. We closed the door. The lights then went out for good, but we did have a flashlight with us and I flicked it on.
We heard the winds increasing and gusting heavily in a slightly pulsing ebb and flow. There was vivid and continuous lightning, the sounds of the winds increased quite a bit, and we heard thumping on the back decks, the north side of the house, and big thumps in the front and above us. I felt pressure difference in my ears, heard the toilet gurgle, and we both noticed the pressure difference as waves of pressure variation washed through the house and us.
The bathroom door was shaking as if someone wanted to get inside throughout all this. Also during the event we both heard the continuous background noise of the winds that was steady and slowly passing from west to east as if a farmer had his heavy and loud tractor plowing the fields to our south.
After a minute or so, the winds settled down and the door shopped shaking. The pressure waves left and we were ok. We had been hugging through the entire event and Terry asked if it was over.
I said I thought it was safe now. We opened the bathroom door and everything was deathly quiet except for a constant moan, or even a groan, which was the tornado circulation as it continued to head east. Very disturbing, especially with continuous lightning but NO thunder. Using my cell phone, I called in the details to NWS Wilmington at pm with the impact of the tornado at my location being approx.
Reception was cutting in and out as cell towers were apparently being disabled, with calls being picked up on other towers by the tornado while we talked.
My storm chasing bug is gone, John. After all, the storm chased me!! After we composed ourselves and kissed, thanking God we were alive, we got off the floor and started our survey. I found her a flashlight, and scoped the inside of the house. Untouched and no water damage or cracks to the outside. Then I peeked out the deck door and saw nothing but leaves. Same with the front door when I opened it. Leaves and branches. There was no rain, no wind, but still continuous lightning to the east, peppered with blue and green flashes as power lines, transformers, and power substations were damaged and put off line.
I put on my rubber knee boots and we both went outside to check on external damage. Another had hit our roof, damaged our gutter and soffit and cartwheeled over the roof to the back yard. Numerous other branches were on our deck and littering our yard.
Our ornamental pear was shattered and shredded, laying in our back yard. Most of the tree damage in the neighborhood had the same orientation. Also the north side of our house was sand blasted with shredded leaves and debris, but the other sides of the house were clean. Each piece was very heavy and anchored together, but he winds managed to move them very easily. Similarly, our furniture on the upper deck ended up shoved together in a pile against the south railing.
I had covered the outside furniture and anchored them together as I normally do when there is a threat of rain or storms to protect them. Again, as we did our inspection tour the sky was continuous lightning but no thunder to the east.
We later found out that another tornado had formed over Englewood to our north and east and moved southeast, as our tornado continued on east to cross I and north Dayton and into Riverside. We chatted with the neighbors, made sure we were all safe and ok, and listened to the emergency sirens for an hour and a half as we all checked out our homes. No rain, no winds, just a deep calm and quiet.
With diminishing lightning to the east. The assessor came out today Saturday to check out the property. The assessor thinks we need to tear off and replace our siding, but we have the option to have a building inspector validate his findings. Visually the siding looks fine with a few dents, but with no loose sections or panels, I would just as soon keep what we have had for 40 years. The day began like any other.
Raindrops ticked along the glass of the apartment living room window on this warm, stormy day. At about 5 pm, I started hearing about a storm system off to the west. Seconds later, sirens sounded. I headed to the bathroom and watched the blood red cell on radar as lights went out and cellular reception was lost. My sister told me to move to the hallway with everyone else. The sky was lit with ominous furious lightning.
I took cover in the hallway as the train sound rumbled outside. The first tornado passed but now the second one was headed our way. The funnel moved over the apartment complex before moving into the night from our location, Route 48 in Harrison Township toward old North Dayton. Back in , I just got home from school and the sirens went off. My mom put me under a desk and put a table on top. The tornado jumped over our house and took a few shingles off with it. But it took out the northeast side of town.
I was out on the back lot, what we call the backing pad, when it began to storm. So I told everybody as usual to take shelter until the lightning stopped. Some people went to their cars; some went inside. It was just a light rain and the lightning was in a distance so I stayed in my pickup truck parked next to a fence with a large tree in front of me and a metal carport to the left of me. Directly behind me, sitting perpendicularly to my pickup truck, was a semi-truck.
The rain was light. My truck was running and I had the windshield wipers on. I looked out the driver's side window and noticed it was getting a little windy; some of our camping chairs blew over. I looked out my right windshield and noticed the vines growing along the fence were starting to blow around kind of funny. A moment later, just like that, all around me was wind and it got real dark. The wind was going in a way that I've never seen before.
Then a section of a roof blew over me and just shredded apart mid-air. That's when the back windshield on my pickup truck shattered, throwing glass all over me. The tree sitting directly in front of me, which was relatively large, blew over like it was nothing. Also part of the fence blew over top of the hood of my pickup.
I crouched down real low in the driver's seat and just prayed. I held onto the steering wheel for dear life. I could feel the back of the truck lifting. I could still see out the front windshield and I could see power lines exploding out in front of me. The visibility was really poor at this point but I could still see the flashes.
It lasted for about 45 seconds but it seemed like a lifetime. I remember praying out loud and my hands were shaking. I had my phone in my hand so of course even though I was freaking out and praying to God thinking that I probably wouldn't live I decided to try to video what I could. I could see the semi that was behind me had blown over top of me and landed next to the carport.
I could barely walk. I was in a state of shock, knee-deep in flood water. I walked around more or less like a zombie shaking and trembling, looking at the other two semis that had blown over. There were people running about in every direction. I don't know how long I wandered around. Some of my other instructor colleagues saw me and came up to me and asked me if I was okay. I couldn't even speak. Finally, I managed to phone my wife at work but she can't pick up so I left a voicemail that she still has.
I don't think I ever want to hear that because I do remember I was screaming. I don't know how long it took me to calm down and regain my senses but I finally went back to record a video walkthrough of the damage. Then I went back to my pickup truck which was still running and started to pick up some of the debris and nails so I could drive out of there. I've been through a couple traumatic incidents in my life as a veteran of the Gulf War. This was, hands down, one of those most traumatic and terrifying moments of my life.
I think the real reason why I was so terrified because I had no training, no warning, and no defense against whatever was coming. The tornado was classified two days later as an EF-1 tornado. It had a base of about 75 to a hundred yards across. It had been raining hard most of the afternoon.
At approximately pm the rain stopped and there was an eerie silence followed by the patter of what sounded like hail on the metal roof of the shop.
Then the wind started howling. I looked up and saw the 16 ft garage door bowing inward from the wind. I sighed a breath of relief hoping the twister had skipped over the shop. That relief was short lived as in the next few seconds I heard the train sound, which actually sounded like a thrashing machine metal being chewed up, indescribable actually.
Then the entire back wall of the shop began to bow in. All I could think of was get to a low spot. There was none. My next thought was get to an interior hall so I ran to the bathroom, laid down on the floor and grabbed the toilet knowing it was bolted to the ground. In the next seconds, I saw the corner of the shop and bathroom lift up and disappear over me. I was being hit from all directions by objects and beams from the building.
A thousand thoughts went through my mind and I just knew I was dead. I prayed for God to save me then I was slammed back onto the ground. I realized I was alive and did not think I was hurt to badly. Then the debris started falling out of the sky.
As the debris fell onto me, I fought and pushed and shoved anything that landed on me trying to get whatever landed on me off. Then as fast as it started it was over. No noise. I was bleeding and it felt like my ankle was broken but I was alive. I pushed one more time and was able to create enough space to breathe. I hollered for someone to get the building off of me but no one answered.
I wiped the blood from my eyes and saw a Pontiac Catalina next to me. My first thought was why is that car in the bathroom with me. Then it hit me that I was some 80 ft from where the bathroom once stood and was out in the parking lot in front of the shop. I pushed and clawed my way out of the rubble, shocked angry and thankful to God that I was alive.
I survived bruised from head to toe with a broken foot and some lacerations. I went back out to the shop the next day and just cried seeing where I had crawled out from the broken pieces of the toilet under where I laid. Turns out the toilet had just been set on the wax ring and caulked to the floor, not one bolt in the slab. In retrospect, that toilet not being secured is probably what saved me as I think I was traveling with the debris in the twister.
It ws April 4, , around 6 pm, when my father passed away shortly after a tornado hit Haltom City, TX. I was not with him when the incident took place.
On this day storms were everywhere and sirens were going off. That is the normal during spring time in Texas. My father's friend, who owned the property, told me the following story the day after the storm while he was recovering from injuries in the hospital. They were standing outside while sirens were going off looking at the green skies when things got unusually calm and quiet.
My father looked up and saw a "hole" in the sky and shouted "RUN!!!! The friends split up. My father went under a large wooden rack where tons of lumber was stored. His friend hung onto an oak tree and didn't let go. RIFF-it good. Listen while you read! Add Comment. After All 3. Call Me Crazy 4. Eight Miles Wide 5. Halogen 6. Inside Outside 7.
