I remember this one i was 5 and omg i got really scared i was on hilltop then i think and ever since that day i been scared of tornadoes im 18 now still scared of tornadoes

i live in columbus and its scary

september 2020 on labor day we had that tornado watch and there was a lightning show going on

The siren has an analog 864 :D

Federal Signal 2001-SRNB?

gotta love metzger parks siren

The siren heard in this video is the Paul S Metzger Analog in Westerville Ohio.

Columbus used to have a Federal Signal 2001 SRNB tornado siren, now central Ohio and southeastern Ohio are using Whelen sirens.

I wasn't even 4 years old yet when this happened. I don't remember this ever happening but it did. R.I.P. West Jefferson in 2008.

Sounded like a Whelen WPS 3016 and it’s really close.

I remember this. The earliest tornado warning I’ve experienced. I was 5 at the time, and it was during nighttime. I was terrified & we had went to the basement. At that time we had a television downstairs, so we were able to see if there was still a tornado warning or not. It didn’t pass where I was at, but there was damage done around my area.

Reminds me of very recently there was 2 tornado warning for South Franklin and East Franklin, there was nonstop lightning and a few sirens went off.

The amount of positive streamers you captured is epic!

Wow

I was there on that day for vacation That storm was loud

no siren?

That's a hell of a lightning show.

Took them long enough to sound an alert... must have been waiting to actually see it like a town here in Kansas where I use to live.... Once it's close enough to see there's not much time to seek shelter. Great video glad you're safe...

Dude what time of day was this recorded? Every once in a while we get a nasty supercell in Phoenix AZ that has so much rain, it literally looks as black as this! And the rain portion is actually often the brighter portion of the storm during the day!

And i live in Kent Ohio, its about 1hr and 30mins away.

My bday is june 25th 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

One of my favourite youtube storm clips !

Tornadoes can be scary, especially at night.

WOW THAT'S ALOT OF LIGHTNING!!!! I would probably be saying "GET DOWNSTAIRS NOW! TORNADO!!!"

Same me ever since I'm scared when one hits

one time there was a lightning strike in my front yard accompanied by the loudest thunder. it shook the ground hard. but luckily nothing broke.

OMG

I remember this D: I lived on north 4th...I was freaking out

Nice video. I remember storms like these when I lived on East 14th and 15th. Thank you.

Awesome video! The sirens sound very scary.

guess we should call it in the dark night w/ no power lol

I remember this. It was scary and i couldnt that night.

@mrpretz149 it sounds like a FS Thunderbolt and a FS 2001 of some sort any of these 2001-ac,dc,srn,srnb or even a 130 and Thunderbolts 1000,1000t&1003

nice :)

What camera work? My 105 year grandmom, with her alzimers do it better. Regard Sweden

Omg! At 1:42 u almost got hit by lightning!!!!!

wow what year was this (tornado) from i might rember it but i'm not to sure. its hard to rember all the tornados warngings we had here

VERY dangerous behavior filming outside in a storm of that ferocity. use common sense,get the hell outta there! Mother Nature has a lot of tricks up her sleeve

use common sense,get the hell outta there!filming outside in a storm of that ferocity. VERY dangerous behavior.

no that was in i think september 2008

6-25-09 clinton,michigan there was a pretty strong derecho

nah this was june 09 remember?

here in new philadelphia we have federals 2001s thyr really loud cause thyr like right beside

I love Columbus's Tornado Siren System. They have a system of random Whelen Series and their howling sound makes it easier to grab attention to near by residents. I can say that the siren being heard the most in the video is a Whelen WPS-3016. Those are the higher pitched Whelens.

wow awesome lighting. Did you guys get hit?

Was this during the "windstorm" in ohio? Left over from hurricane ike?

well then one of two things happened eather the sirens were malfuntioning or they were sounding the all clear signal.

they even had the tornado sirens malfuntioning from all the electricity generated by the lightening... they wouldn't shut off for 30 minutes after the warning expired

you better believe it!!!

yessar! fun stuff!
