downeastnc Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Well lets hope its not on the ground and if so lets hope its weak lots of houses and neighborhoods under these couplets.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherNC Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I am on the wrong side of town ( SE ) to chase this one and local news are saying there is damage around Farmville but these are pretty weak couplets so I doubt its to bad. I am holding out for the couplet crossing into S Lenior it looks to come up my side of the county in 30-45 mins. It also has held up off and on for a couple of hrs now. Just updated radar and the weak couplet took a right and looks to pass right over Greenville..... Welp, had the main couplet (1st spinup) pass directly overhead a couple minutes ago, definite low level rotation noted in the clouds, not really a funnel though, just a general twisting as it came over, followed by some gusty variable winds...

Dunkman Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 The one SSE of Elizabethtown is pretty robust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeronicaCorningstone Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Ugh. Looks like one of those couplets is right over the Candlewick area and the newer duplexes/townhomes close to the hospital (kind of hard to tell). Lots of folks around that area. Like you said - hope nothing's touching the ground there. Spoke with my folks in Falkland, and all was well -- looks like the worst of that storm went between them and Greenville. Waiting to hear from my husband to see if there was any damage confirmed in Farmville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard on one of the locals that they had reports of barns and other light damage just east of Farmville but nothing serious or indictive of a tornado. More like lots of straightline wind.

eyewall Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Unfortunately I got out of work too late to catch up with these. By the time I got out there they would be offshore. Downeast good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkman Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 It's really ramping up now, I think there are 6 different cells prompting tornado warnings right now with at least 2 confirmed tornadoes on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Nothing for me if there is a tornado its rainwrapped but I didn't see any formations that looked very impressive. Was an insane amount of lightning though, dis see some hail but mostly small stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Downeast thank you for the report I was hoping you would get a TOR . Anyway I will be uploading some footage of the winds with the wake low this morning. Look for it overnight sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
