iowahawkeyedave Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I cant believe what Im seeing really... Agreed, I can't believe this, especially in North Carolina. This is straight out of tornado alley. Debris falling out of the sky in Apex, wouldn't be surprised if that started happening in Raleigh here soon. Looks like it went right on top of Holly Springs.
