Wild Weekend Weather

What a stressful Friday night (early Saturday morning)! Early reports indicate that no one in Knightstown or the surrounding area was seriously injured during the severe weather and we're all very thankful for that. Our sympathy goes out to everyone whose home and/or property suffered damage during the storm. People driving around Knightstown on Saturday morning - and there were a lot of us! -  witnessed some amazing and, unfortunately, some terrible sights.

Banner publisher Eric Cox photographed some of these scenes Saturday morning. A slideshow of his photos can be viewed here.

Our own family's experience in Kennard was rather scary because none of us could get out of our heads what happened in Kennard over 30 years ago when a massive tornado destroyed a huge part of the town. About the time our electric service went out here Friday night, the first wave of severe weather was at McCordsville and Greenfield and heading east. Not knowing what was going on was nerve-wreaking. In between the different rounds of severe weather we located our weather radio, got updated on what was going on, greatly alleviating the anxiety. I don't think I have ever seen so much lightning for such a long period of time!

What was your experience during this storm? Did you capture any photos or video during/after the storm?
