Did anybody see or watch the severe thunderstorm that rolled thru Omaha NE and delayed the start of the second game of the College World Series between Texas and LSU??

Seem like the storm rolled in right about the 6 p.m. start time. And the game was delayed for about 1 hour and 40 mins. ESPN TV showed a video still that had a lightning bolt hitting an area just east of the zoo, which is east of the stadium.

Did anybody watch the game...NO. Did anybody see the storm??

There was some very strong winds in the south part of Omaha with some pretty good limbs down. At my house, I had pea sized hail for nearly 10 minutes but the hail was clear rather than white due to melting due from very warm temps aloft.
