April 15-16 Severe Weather threat


Recommended Posts

BTW I hope I'm not overdoing it with spotter reports. Trying not to be a spammer, but this kind of stuff just does not happen around here.

My opinion prolly doesn't count, but I have appreciated the reports, especially since the tornado took out the guy who was streaming the Central Carolina Skywarn Net on Radio Reference.

Thank God, fantastic news brandon. I can't imagine how terrified he was. That is as close as you can get without being destroyed. Absolutely amazing.

thx man, this was very scary for them. i was basically updating him while he was in the bathtub w/ the fam'. Crazy day!

Hey man, I sat this one out as it just was too risky for me to go with no radar. Bozart is in wilson and as I was talking to him he saw some sort of small debris falling from the sky.

That one sup looks to cut Pitt county in half!

Yeah, I am thinking it may pas over the western part of the county, Farmville, Falkland area, very scary considering where I am at. Also looks to be cycling per the last couple passes, so we will see how that shakes out :popcorn:

Damn it, why did I go home this weekend? Ugh, the squall line sucked when it went through GSO as I saw nothing but light-moderate winds and a hell of a lot of rain in a very short time. Talking to some folks back at campus, it sounds like I really missed out! The line really picked up once it moved east of I-85, it seemed.

Buddy of mine just saw the Wilson tornado says it was roughly half mile wide. Also Bozart farms got a few glimpses of it as well. Nest storm approaching Pitt county is gonna be my neck of the woods so if its light enough i'm gonna try to get on it.
