Tornado touched down about 6 miles from my house.

    Nasty storms went through South Webster and Oak Hill and then touched down not far from me. Oak Hill is basically a river and many areas of Jackson are too flooded to pass through.

    Goodness...another pretty powerful storm looks to be headed pretty close to our direction.... Hopefully it stays a little north just like the last one was a little south .

    Right, looks like a crazy hail core headed over western Ross and Pickaway counties and eastern Fayette.

    I'll be darn if it doesn't look like it might rip back down through Oak Hill and South Webster.

    8in of rain according to radar and multiple rescues from rising waters. Nary a drop north of Lancaster.

    Jackson county has had 5 inches of rain today.

    Storms are just sticking in Ross, Pickaway and Pike counties...headed more towards Portsmouth.

    If there was a tornado, no one bothered to call the National Weather Service and tell them, that's never good.

    I've heard rumors of one touching down on Mt. Zion and another off CH&D road. I was at work on Main St. when the storm hit and was stranded in the parking lot when Main St. was shut down. There's water EVERYWHERE, the Wellston fire department had a boat out pulling people from McDonalds and other places where people were stranded. Crazy day!!!

    We had hail in Piketon and nasty winds for about 5 minutes around 4 pm and on 10tv they were tracking it to Jackson, Oak Hill area. I am sick of this weather! Bring on the dog days of Summer! LOL

    This article was preceded by an article with the same picture which appears to be fake.....and the article said the guy called it in to thhe NWS and he had other witnesses.....but they all appear to be full of crap it appears.
