I live in Fort Wayne, and experienced this, however the strong winds just missed me. Nevertheless it knocked the power out for a good few days. I remember the local weather station’s feed went down temporarily. Weatherman sounded almost like he was panicking. Brought back memories of the 2012 Derecho where winds got just as bad.

Note: no trash cans were seriously hurt in the making of this video! The trash cans you've seen were just actors the names were changed to protect their identities

Driving home from SE Fort Wayne shortly after the wind died down, passed four… 4! semi trucks with trailers on their side on the freeway! 😱 Emergency units on the scenes, but that would be horrific to be driving along and just get pushed onto your side side when piloting a tractor trailer. The airport, near this section of road recorded some gusts of 98 mph.

I live by Saint Francis University and this storm had me a bit nervous. I was actually waiting for a tornado to sprout up, thankfully never did. The lightening and thunder was the worst I can recall in my 50 yrs in Fort Wayne. It seemed non-stop for at least a half hour, and the lightening was so loud and strong that it sounded as if it was touching down right next to my house (it didn't but felt like it). I kept watching my tree's just praying they wouldn't fall on my house. I felt this was a little worse than 2012 only bc it was non-stop for at least a half hour, which I felt was unusual for our normal bad storms. BUT WE SURVIVED 😊

I live SW in Aboite township. I was in my east facing garage pulling in my trash bin when it hit. I have lost 4 trees completely and damage has been done to several more. I had a tree on my roof. It seems when a really bad storm comes I to town, we get slammed hard.

It looks so nice! It reminds me of the afternoon and evening Spring & Summer storms that tear through Brisbane and Southern Queensland in Australia. They'd drop 2 or 3 inches of rain in an hour then move out to sea and intensify into a line of gigantic, boiling, blazing thunder heads lighting up the sky for hours. In the late evening the heat would return, silent, still and yet those thunderheads would continue their incredible light show well into the small hours. Then the entire cycle would repeat the next day. The heat would cause convection, warm humid air would come in from the Coral Sea building up afternoon storms that lash the coast by the early evening.

WoW, lots of lightning

I just happened to be visiting a friend on the south side of Fort Wayne in the Waynedale area... on a street called (If I remember correctly) Old Trail Road... That was some wicked scary stuff right there... The sound was nasty, the sound of trees being snapped in half that were 2 to 4 foot in diameter, like tooth picks, all around my buddy's house. There was a massive tree in the front lawn of the house directly across and I watched that then first get all the huge limbs get shredded and collapse down crushing a Toyota and a Honda like a soda can under a foot stomp.. Then the 100 to 150 foot tall trunk got pushed over and was blocking 3 drive way...LOL... I want to go back home.. The heck with Indiana.. What was strange, it was Trash pick up or something, for the next day? and so there was trash can out at the streets edge, with all that chaos of 80 to 100 mph wind and 1000's of tons of wood falling out of the sky, there was two trash can just sitting there, not moving...Make sense of that.. That morning, In the process of checking of folks and helping to clear things out of the road ways, getting people's generators hooked up and what not, while walking by those two trash cans, I just had to look inside, assuming there was 8000 tons of concrete in them, that prevented their movement... Nah, each just had one trash bag inside... I could move those large cans around with one hand, so they are not heavy at all, but some how, all that violence, was afraid to attempt to move either of those trash cans. Heck, that is where I will hide in a storm like that, in one of those trash cans...LOL.. Great footage on this video.. Well done..

"Instead of the usual vertical path, here the bolts move horizontally- between clouds." Ok, but kind of clouds are you referring to? There is the standard intra-cloud lightning, and we have cloud-to-cloud lightning and we have cloud-to-air lightning. Distance and sound has nothing to do with these lightning types.

@mattbrewster8051

What we call heat lightning is lightning jumping between clouds, which occurs when the clouds have different charges, so the bolts remain in the sky. Since the air is thinner up there, thunder is not produced.
