We got some stuff that rolled through my neck of the woods up here in North Central Ohio LATE lastnight. I was already in bed though. It seemed to me like just a little bit better than normal thunderstorm though. Some higher winds, lots of thunder & lightning was all I experienced. Woke up this morning and headed to work and noticed a few trees down, some minor damage here & there around the area but really nothing extensive or exciting.

I wanted to head south when I got off of work yesterday afternoon but had a meeting I couldnt miss. Richland & Ashland county are only about 40 min from me.

The Saline-Milan storm came within about 4 miles of my home. I plan on scouting the route for myself, just out of interest.

Gorgeous, gorgeous lightning, and a tremendous amount of it (by Michigan standards) was associated with the storm. I was working but I did enjoy the light show, at least.
