Hurricane Storms Thunder Lightning Erin Ike Northern Lights Kitesurf Ohio
Shows Storms and Hurricanes over Ohio
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: http://youtube.com/watch?v=WLV5XWdP7PE 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.
Video also shows dangerous KiteSurfing during Hurricane Ike. The end of the 65 ft. jump begins at 1:31 (the beginning wasn’t filmed). The portion of the video showing the hurricane begins at :53 and ends at 1:57. Someone just photographed the end of the jump and let us use the film (trip43065 and Ron). Conditions were such that a person could hardly stand up, let alone film.

Hurricane Ike was Ohios worst natural disaster. Although most think of it as a costal disaster, it also hit Ohio. It hit Texas on September 13, and it is considered the the fourth costliest hurricane in US history behind only Katrina, Andrew, and Wilma. It hit Ohio September 14 with winds raging up to 78 mph a Category I hurricane. It is Ohios only hurricane. Much of the damage has yet to be repaired.
While most people stayed inside for safety (as branches and roof material flew by), some were out in the dangerous winds kitesurfing.

“As Ike tracked in a north to north northeast direction inland it maintained tropical characteristics until it reached Arkansas on Sunday, 14 September at which point it dissipated as a significant tropical cyclone and began extra tropical transition. Later that day the remnants of the storm merged with a frontal boundary across the lower Ohio Valley. The presence of a deep low pressure associated with the frontal boundary generated a tight pressure gradient to the south and east of the low as it tracked into northwest Ohio through Sunday evening, creating strong winds with gusts in excess of 70 mph over a large area across the Ohio Valley. The winds also persisted for several hours which is uncharacteristic of typical severe thunderstorm events. Whilst the strongest winds were recorded in Ohio, the effects of Ike’s remnants also spread across Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio and Pennsylvania.”

Hurricane Opal – Fort Walton Beach, FL – October 4, 1995
This is a sample of my Hurricane Opal chase footage. This video was taken during Opal’s landfall in the western Florida panhandle, at Fort Walton Beach, on October 4, 1995. A day prior to landfall, Hurricane Opal had strengthened rapidly to near Category Five intensity, with sustained winds of 150mph and a minimum central pressure of 916mb (27.05in). During the following twelve hours the storm steadily weakened, however, Opal was still a very large and powerful Category Three at landfall, with sustained winds of 125mph and a central pressure of 942mb (27.82in). Hurricane conditions begin at about 3min 30sec into the video and the eyewall occurs from 4min 50sec through 7min 40sec in. Peak winds at my location were sustained between 100-110mph with gusts to 140mph. The highest officially recorded surface wind in Opal was a gust to 144mph at Hurlburt Field, near Mary Esther, Florida, in southwest Okaloosa county, which was three miles west of my location. The highest storm surge at my location was approximately 13ft and with the ground elevation at 8-10ft above sea-level, this resulted in a surge depth of 3-5ft, with higher waves. The peak surge and maximum inundation occurs just prior to the eye/calm at about 9min 40sec into the video. Though the eastern edge of Opal’s eye did pass over my location, winds never fell below 20-30mph, I did record a minimum pressure of 960.3mb (28.36in) during this time.
