The brief thunderstorm that raced through northeast Clark County on Tuesday afternoon downed some trees, blew around some yard items and threw a scare into some residents on Tamarack Avenue, north of Buck Creek State Park.
"I couldn't see the driveway," said Lisa Hube-Grimes, who lost some trees in the storm. "I heard things flying all over the place."

Some items on her deck were blown into the yard as well, she said, noting "stuff everywhere."
the National Weather Service did issue a severe thunderstorm warning for Clark and several other counties sometime after 4:30 p.m. that expired about 6:15 p.m.

Her neighbor across the street, Judy McClurg, said she hasn't seen a storm in several decades that scared her as much as this one did.
She said she took her lap dog to the basement with her after she, too, looked out a window and couldn't see anything because of the driving rain.
"What I would say to people is when they look out and see a storm, they'd better get to the basement," McClurg said. "This one really scared me bad.... People needs to take cover."
