Yesterday was also the first day of a multi-day radar outage in Wilmington, where our main radar for the region is. These two events combined made for bad timing.
The first tornado siren sounded around 7:14pm last night, and the west side of Columbus got awful dark. I sent my drone up shortly after that, but being so far east made it hard to see any cloud formations or rotation.
Using the CMH terminal radar I was able to watch as the storms moved in near Hilliard and moved toward Westerville slowly.
This didn't present well on radar because... well, we didn't have much of a radar to go off of. In the end, no reports of a touchdown in Franklin County. Just a noisy, early Spring evening.
