August 31st 2014 will be a day that Live Storms Media storm chaser Danny Murphy will never forget. He encountered a tornadic thunderstorm that was filled with electricity with lightning strikes taking place nearly every second. Unfortunately, while documenting the storm, Danny was struck by what is referred to as a 'Step Leader' from the main lightning bolt seen just feet away. Luckily he survived the experience, but did suffer neurological and physical injuries from the lightning interaction, which left him in a Sioux City, Iowa hospital for 10 days.

The Peace River reached a historic crest in Arcadia (at Fl Hwy 70) after Hurricane Ian. It reached the highest water level ever recorded. Many homes and vehicles were lost. Travel is very difficult if not impossible in the region. Many homes are cut off by blocked roads. This video is a river level perspective of the damage.

An intense supercell produced a tornado near Sandy hook, Mississippi this evening. Lightning from the forward flank of the storm could be seen for many miles away. Upon the tornado crossing SR-35 near Hurricane Creek Road - damage was noted where numerous high tension powerpoles were snapped and in the roadway. Other structural damage was evident with metal pearlings in the road.
Significant flash flooding took place during the evening on September 28th across portions of Walton and Okaloosa Counties. Destin proper ended up receiving over a foot of rainfall and the drainage system could not handle it. Many roads ended up with deep water and stalled vehicles in them, including US-98 and FL-293 near the Mid-Bay Bridge. Credit: Brett Adair / Live Storms Media
Flooding was no match for a few vehicles who decided to go through waters of 1 to 2 feet deep in parts of Pascagoula on Sunday. Even a motorcycle went through the water like it was nothing. However, you don't know if there are pockets of deeper water when you do this. Please, turn around and don't drown. Credit: Tiffany Strunk / Live Storms Media
