Looks like our long lived twister is about to hit hard mountains in Rabun county GA. After that, I'm clueless. But I wuld venture a guess the flow would disrupted a while in Transylvania and Polk to Henderson counties, NC, then who knows maybe reform into another funnel toward Lake Lure or Marion, NC. Anyway winds have really picked up here. Tonight reminds me so much of what happened 3 weeks ago at midnight.

But much worse obviously for areas west.

Scary, scary stuff.

Watching WSB online continuous coverage and they mentioned that Pine Log, GA was directly in path of a tornado. If anyone hears any info about that area over the scanner, would you please post it on here? My best friend's mom lives there, I don't have her number to call and can't get up with my friend to get it, but I'm very concerned about her safety. I know there's nothing I can really do, but...still I'd like to know what to expect from that area.

I'm still floored by how well the *super*cell continues to look..doesn't show any sign of weakening yet and looks like it will make it into nc at this rate.

Greg Forbes said over 2 hours ago that La Grange storm was headed for Ptree City and I hear it off over there now. Pretty good call that far out. For the longest time it looked to head right for me, but now I think it is going by to the north..over Ptree City. Pretty good booms going but not much wind, after a day of crazy wind. I just want rain, no big swirling winds for me, please. T

To sleep or not to sleep, that is the question for me tonight......

Will do Veronica...Tornado reported on the ground on hwy 140.. I drive through there every day and that would be in the area of Pine Log.

Watching the hourly composite indices on SPC and well its gonna be bad I think. Supercell composite, Craven, effective tornado all continue to climb and all are already over the parameters that indicate a significant severe event is looming...

I will try to update these every hr for the next few hrs

Most of the main ATL metro looks to be safe- the cluster of storms to the west are very messy (except the one headed for FFC). Cannot rule out some brief spin up, but we probably dodged a big bullet.

I respectfully disagree. The system is going as planned, transitioning from cellular to linear, and this is precisely how the derecho-line looked early April (atleast my vantage point here in NC). I'm worried that this will develop into a severe squall line with surface winds widespread of 50mph +, maybe 75mph.

I'm getting 50mph gust, just heard a tree fall not too far from the house.

Sitting at 75.8 degrees and a dew point of 68.4 degrees with winds gusting over 25 mph at 11:00 p.m. at night in the foothills of NC in April. This system is nothing to mess around with. The foothills and the piedmont of NC may see an explosion from the storms once they exit the mountains. Going to be a long long night.

Do you think it is over here in West GA ? We just had a little light rain. Should we pay attention to more storms in AL ?

Yep...this was my worry a few days ago that we would get such development to our west that it would survive the trek through the mountains. The atmospheric profile for tornadoes are off the charts for this part of the country.

If this warned storm along the NC/SC/GA border can stay in tact for the next 90 minutes or so, I see no reason for the low level inflow to get re-established to the immediate east of the mountains. Current projection could put that cell close to IMBY around 1-1:30 am.
