Ian Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 At one point they had the wall cloud in site, but it sounded like they were having trouble finding roads that would take them in the right direction and spotting things through trees. Looks like they're trying to get down to the rotation heading towards Smithfield now. radar is ridiculous se of raleigh. so many sweet storms.

Ian Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 Kinda odd to have to look due S to see if anything is coming DC way the rotation up here isnt all that impressive imo. i guess it's just a sign how much is going for these things even in more marginal conditions north of the real action.
