The hailstorm was pretty impressive Sunday night anywhere from Golfball to Tennis ball size hail. I got lucky made it under the Kroger gas station roof when it hit. Here's the path of it pretty wild! I have the video I shot down below

Raining again here in Westerville.  Starting to think that this will be a lesser event up here.  Main show more in SW Ohio and Indiana.

Not sure that I would have that mindset. Stay aware please....

Lol…I’m too paranoid not to, no worries there.  😊

Got a feeling about this storm on the leading edge of the line that has developed, it just needs to mature and I think a cell merger is happening now? I think it could go tornadic within the hour.

this afternoon cluster is probably everything in terms of what happens behind it, models are doing a poor job at initializing how much rain there actually is right now in that cluster

HUGE fail there, didn't break up hardly at all

   Areas affected...Portions of far southern IL into western/northern
   KY...southern IN...and southwestern OH

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 75...76...

   Valid 021928Z - 022100Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 75, 76 continues.

   SUMMARY...Thunderstorms moving across western Kentucky and southern
   Indiana should continue to pose some severe risk this afternoon.
   Downstream watch issuance will eventually be needed. Tornadoes,
   large hail, and damaging winds all appear possible. A strong tornado
   may also occur with any supercell that can be sustained.

   DISCUSSION...Convection has generally struggled to intensify this
   afternoon in far southern IL/western KY along a pre-frontal
   trough/wind shift line. Still, the airmass downstream is attempting
   to destabilize in the wake of earlier convection across parts of
   northern KY and southern IN. Visible satellite imagery shows some
   clearing across this area, with surface temperatures gradually
   warming into the 70s in the vicinity of the Ohio River. The
   low-level airmass is also slowly moistening as the outflow boundary
   from morning thunderstorms becomes less well defined, with surface
   dewpoints rising into the mid to upper 60s. Enhanced deep-layer
   shear of 50-60 kt will support supercells with associated hail
   threat, if any can develop ahead of the ongoing cluster. Otherwise,
   favorable low-level shear, with effective SRH around 250-300 m2/s2,
   will also foster a tornado risk assuming robust thunderstorms can be
   sustained. A strong tornado appears possible given the strength of
   the low-level flow/shear shown in recent VWPs from KLVX. Damaging
   winds remain a possibility with any small clusters. Given current
   observational trends and gradual destabilization occurring
   downstream of the ongoing activity, a downstream Tornado Watch into
   parts of central KY, southern IN, and southwestern OH will likely be
   needed before the scheduled 20Z expiration of WW 75.

There's the tornado warning for Evansville

The storm near Evansville also looks really good. Still needs to mature as well but wow look at that.

Tornado-warned, luckily nothing is on the ground for now at least, I live close-ish to Evansville and a tornado there would be a bad deal.
