Wow, luckily it wasn't that bad here. Probably around 40 mph tops but very intense rain with wind changing directions a few times. Very nice squall line for us, intense but no damage.
Cloudy and cool today. Much nicer than yesterday afternoon when we soared up to 79. Currently 62/55 and you can really tell where the front is. Mid 70's for SC. Upper 50's low 60's for NC.
I am currently up to 1.62" for the month and only 13.69" for the year and thankfully it is steadily raining right now.
EDIT: ended up with .31" for the day. So a decent rainfall for us. Hope to get more with the next system.
Huge bust for our forecast overnight and this morning. Had predicted over 1" of rain with severe storm possibly and all we got was .08" of light rain, no wind. Currently 62/60.
Had a line of storms come thru with a severe warning with them but all we got were some decent wind gusts, .05" of rain and much cooler temps. Got the windows wide open now and feels good. Currently 65/57 and gusty winds out of the north,
Picked up .44" with the passage of those storms. Had Tornado warnings for us but actually got very little wind out of it. Had much higher gusts long before the storms came thru. Was out walking my pups when one particular gust actually stopped me in my tracks. Heard a loud crack and saw a very large branch fall from a tree and 50 yards away from me. Currently 67/65 with winds in the 20 mph + range once again.
Wild morning here. Had some big gusts before the storms moved thru. Lots of Tornado warnings in my area and even a confirmed one about 10 miles to my west but nothing much in my neighborhood thank goodness. Horrible damage from those areas that got slammed by this.
