Derecho! Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 whats left of a Lowe's store around Raleigh, NC That's not Raleigh; that's Sanford NC from earlier. TWC and presumably other media outlets are mis-labeling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 With respect to duration of rain - the back edge is coming up rather fast. Hmmmm..........Rain here all evening? I think we should be done by about 7 or 8pm then clearing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raleigh did have a tornado though, damage reported on South Saunders street. I have been watching the WRAL feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FXW176 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Getting a few gusts in the 35mph range now. Germantown FTW, good spot! How unusual for you. Rain here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Raleigh did have a tornado though, damage reported on South Saunders street. I have been watching the WRAL feed. Nobody is arguing that Raleigh had a tornado. But that damage was not directly linked. We all know Raleigh had some massive storms go through there with tremendous damage.

Jebman Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 North VA got stuck in the middle ----- Between the incredibly torrential rainfall in Central MD and PA ---- And the violent tornadoes in NC. I think that made us downright lucky - couple garden variety thundershowers and some rain. We also squeaked by with only 25mph wind gusts. We get to live to see another severe outbreak, with our homes intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Massive amounts of rain here since lunch time. Nothing severe, though. Had a very brief period of some pea sized hail about 30 minutes ago. Pouring again with a line of storms forming to the west. Looks like on sat there may be some breaks in the clouds in front of it. Don't know if that will be fuel or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
