Props to all the local channels on the weather coverage.  I do have something I wanted to mention though...before the storms really got kickin' I watched from my back deck what appeared to be clouds with a lot of circulation.  I live in SE Warren county, Pleasant Plain to be exact and it appeared there the storms were over northern Clermont aka Goshen/Milford on it's way into east central Clermont where the storms became 'tornadic' on radar.  Is there anyway that there was circulation well before it was picked up on radar? 

On a side note, I had a great picture of a wall cloud as it moved over Mason into Loveland, one problem, digital cameras and rain do not mix.  As for hail we had a period of about twenty seconds of 1.5" hail.  I hope everyone is safe at home and all is well!

Living here in northern kentucky we haven't seen much...yet.

But i have a question that have wanted to ask for a long time and that is why do you local 12 not use your live radar in life threatening situations? why do you insist on using dated level 2 nexrad data (ESP Storm Vision) that takes up to 5 minutes to update?

There are some of us common idiots in the public who don't know the difference.  (Not that I'm calling Bearcat04 an idiot.)
