Snowacane Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 What's odd about this outbreak is that decently large communities are getting hit, Sanford, raleigh, Louisburg, Smithfield, Kenly, Roanoke rapids, Roxboro, wilson, goldsboro, snow hill and soon to be greenville, NC. Areas west of wilmington and SE VA are bad as well. This is very bad for Eastern NC. More hits on populated areas than I have ever seen in this state in my life, which goes back to the early 60's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 damage on south side of downtown may have been intense RFD winds then..unless it was a very wide tornado The photo earlier in this thread on p. 27 I believe showed a huge wedge approaching downtown Raleigh.

weatherman566 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Hey everyone. Like everyone else, I cannot believe how amazing and destructive this storm system has been. 2 weeks ago, I decided to write up a post about tornado safety in public places. I actually interviewed managers at Lowe's, Kroger, and other stores common across the United States. Seeing the images of the Lowe's store in Sanford, NC being completely destroyed shocked me, especially after I did research about Lowe's and tornado safety.

Lookout Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I'm really short on time but First off, brandon please send our well wishes to allan and tell him we are all extremely relieved he is ok. Second...lowes...wow. I truly fear what the loss of life might be with that. The two lowes in athens are packed every singly day. Can't imagine that level of destruction if something hit those two and I'm sure that one is no different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvaspartan Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Yeah this whole thing is affecting me on a personal level as well since my sister lives NE of Raleigh and just SW of Wake Forest at Falls Pointe. It just missed her but man it was close. Been to some of these places that were wrecked. It is such a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
