WNCwx Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Here are a couple more pics I didn't get a chance to post earlier because I was busy with a webcast: This was a cell just south of Franklin, NC around 5pm. And this was around 5.20pm. It also hailed over a wide area. Several friends on Facebook reported hail across the county. And here are the pictures of hail taken at about 6.30pm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoothillsNC Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 wow, this looks almost like the early April event here in Cleveland and Gaston Counties...wer'e about to get clobbered. The line is now bowing and thats always a bad omen, really speeding up too. The momentum as the ULL took a slight neg. tilt in just the right spot in northern GA catapulted the line in the Upstate. May go offline here in second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Winds are howling outside and lightning is incredibly intense. Just about to get hit now, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gastonwxman Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Looks awful indeed back west. Already the wind is kicking up a good bit and the flashes of lightning are getting brighter the closer these storms get. Watching the cell near Gaffney that's making a dead run for my house. It's going to be a wild ride in a few... Cherokee County, SC Rotating Thunderstorm 66 dBZ Severe Hail: 60% Chance Hail: 100% Chance Max Hail Size: 1.25 in. Top:32,000 ft.

juspeachy Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 When the storms came through here about 7:30, there was tons of wind, T & L and rain. According to my phone, it was 91 degrees. Now it's a steady rain, breezy & a chilly 65. We lost power for only a few seconds, not sure about DISH cause we were watching Blue's Clues on DVD. =) Did not get one single picture. The 4 yr old & Min Pin were crawling all over me! We actually had 2 storms about 30 minutes apart. I did not see any hail, but some was reported downtown. Hoping this all passes by before tomorrow evening...h.s. graduation is outside. -laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jalba Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Impressive line, went outside about 15mins ago and could see intense lightning this far away.. Incredible. Hopefully we don't get too strong of winds, the last line we had was already close enough to causing alot of damage here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
