GROUND LIGHTNING IS OCCURRING WITH THIS STORM. MOVE INDOORS
IMMEDIATELY! LIGHTNING IS ONE OF NATURES NUMBER ONE KILLERS.
REMEMBER...IF YOU CAN HEAR THUNDER...YOU ARE CLOSE ENOUGH TO BE
STRUCK BY LIGHTNING

I believe once last year, there was either a severe t-stormand/or tornado warning for the Hawaiian Island(s), and it was documented on this board. But, yeah, your are right, it is a rare occurrence.

Well shoot, I HAD the impressive radar loop up here, but I guess the file is too big to handle for my website that I upload things to. If anybody wants to see the radar loop that I made, feel free to PM me, and I'll be happy to send it to you!
