Damage driving north on I71 at Lou Berliner Park from the 2 rounds of storms today in Columbus. Definitely one of the most significant severe weather days in Columbus history. #OHwx #ColumbusOhio

[Samuel Hurd @Hurd345Sam]

@FOXWeatherDesk I also have this video of damage in South Columbus at Lou Berliner Park from the morning storms that can be used too.

[Samuel Hurd @Hurd345Sam]

@FOXWeatherDesk I do! I took this video myself and no one else owns it. I give my permission for Fox Weather Desk to use this video too!

@NWSTopeka tornado about 5 minutes ago just north of Blue Rapids, Kansas. It has lifted now and it appears the storm is now cycling.

[Samuel Hurd @Hurd345Sam]

Tornado from earlier today north of Grand Island at the intersection of Sixth Avenue and Denton Road @NWSHastings

Ohio State Graduation 2026!!! Officially a meteorologist 🥳🥳🥳

[Samuel Hurd @Hurd345Sam]

@BurnerLJohnson @CathywasHultgre I’m sorry but this, along with many of your other comments, are the most ignorant comments I’ve ever seen. Have some respect and decency for other humans in the world. The world isn’t concentrated in your back yard and it surely doesn’t and shouldn’t revolve around you.

@SirenFilmsWX @Stupercell This system wasn’t that impressive dynamically so it’s possible to have 61kt winds ~180ft up but nothing widespread to mix those winds down to the surface, especially with it being night and the boundary layer decoupling ongoing. Thus resulting in isolated observed SLW & damage.

[Samuel Hurd @Hurd345Sam]

@Stupercell @NWSILN Not saying not a tornado, just saying probably more likely SLDW damage & the NWS can do surveys without being on site. I’d refrain from begging the NWS to survey by continuously tagging them too. They’re the professionals with degrees & info can take time to publish.

[Samuel Hurd @Hurd345Sam]

@Stupercell @NWSILN Hi I have seen your post(s) and I think I need to comment about this. First, NWS can do storm surveys remotely with the help of county EMA in some cases so just because they’re not out there doesn’t mean they’re not surveying it or paying attention to it.

[Samuel Hurd @Hurd345Sam]

@Stupercell @NWSILN Lastly, the damage you have present based on the posts appears to be unidirectional which would indicate SLDW. If it were tornado damage it would be more “mangled” or swirled around. This damage is also more consistent with the TCMH velocities I have in my above comment.

[Samuel Hurd @Hurd345Sam]

@Stupercell @NWSILN Also the meso by the time the “couplet” made it to your location was completely gone when you go up in scans and the radar data from TCMH here looks like a classic SLW push.

[Samuel Hurd @Hurd345Sam]

@Stupercell @NWSILN Second, going back through radar data (TDWR & WD88) the TVS occurred NW of the location you gave (no CC either ~180agl at the best looking couplet scan). Looking at your location the ~180ft agl velocity returns from TCMH are estimated at 61kt and no couplet. (Scan is attached)
