Moving this conversation from a specific storm thread to Banter. This video was taken by a co-worker from one of the buildings where I work at around 11 AM on 4/27/2011. The rotating wall cloud never touched down from this particular storm that I know of. The strangest thing about that day is we had tornado sirens blaring from around 4 AM until the power went out at around 5 PM (the sirens were inoperable without power). I still heard the wailing of tornado sirens for 2 or 3 days afterwards in my head. It was bizarre.
 
Goodbye Dwight Howard. First season in Atlanta, likely to be his last season in Atlanta unless this front office is off their rocker.
 
Hope all wake up safe and sound, and that all have a good week with rain and no wind!
'Night!
Phil
 
Way to go Lady Gamecocks!
Go Tarheels! Let's bring home another championship tomorrow night!
 
Since I knew that there was a threat of serious storms today, I spent some time reflecting on what I experienced for the second time about late May-ish last year late last night and earlier today.

I'm not sure that this was a direct lightning strike on my house, but I remember some time late last spring late in the morning or early in the afternoon, where during a bad pop up thunderstorm, at literally the same time, I heard a huge crash, saw light flash in the window that is behind me (the window and blinds were closed but it was like lightning came into the house behind me for a second), heard something electrical, and had the power snap all at the same time. This was the climax of the storm and it immediately calmed down after it (and there was no electrical damage), but it was surreal to have this happen as something similar to me happened in 2011, and it ended worse than it did with this time.
I was playing video games this time (silly me) during a thunderstorm and I heard the same huge crash, the power snapped, and I saw smoke come out of the TV (instead of the electrical thing I heard in the most recent time). I sat there stunned for a few moments, and my dad walked into the room and asked me "Are you okay?" (Because he knew that I was playing video games, but since I was using a Wii, I had a wireless controller)

Once the power returned, we found out that almost everything that needed electricity in the room was damaged by lightning.
