Mystery Minute 03.01

Our third Mystery Minute story begins today with a true story from Steve Marshall, Meadville (PA) Fire  & Rescue:

Thunder and Lightning
by
Steve Marshall

Part One

Long before I became a professional storm chaser, it had been my habit to head for the fire station when severe storms threatened. Having grown up in northern Virginia, I was used to afternoon thunderstorms in the summer heat causing numerous “alarm bells sounding” and lightning strikes.

 

When I moved north to Pennsylvania, I thought that was all history. They just don’t get storms like Virginia…or so I thought.

 

On one unusual day in June a few years ago, Mother Nature and Father Time teamed up to mess with my head in a serious fashion.

 

When my weather alert radio sounded, it caught me by surprise. As a television news storm chaser, I stay on top of the weather situation and there was a near zero chance of severe weather today. I immediately fired up my trusty computer to check the our weather radar.

 

What I found on the radar display was completely unexpected.
