FoothillsNC Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Yep SC is getting this one. There's already been some serious reports and I bet around Union SC here shortly there will be some winds over 60 maybe 70 mph and very large hail. The segment is bowing about as perfect in intensity and proximity from the mountains as it gets. We've had several that looked exactly like that here and got extremely hard hit with downed trees, lightning, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MountainMarvel Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Still raining here, and the lightning is still around. Quite a show. Very dark. Here's a pic from sundown yesterday just over the McDowell County line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrips27 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I never expected anything so severe. Heck there wasn't even a cloud in the sky til 4:00. The line that went severe developed to my NW around 4:30, but it looked like it would miss to my north. It wasn't until 5:15 when a storm developed to the south of the line did I grow more interested. When that particular storm turned due east and I started hearing rumbles of thunder, I had a feeling this one would be special. It was truly spectacular when I saw mammatus outside on the back deck. I've always wanted to see those and finally got the opportunity. It gradually got louder until the storm was knocking on the front door. Now on radar it looked like the storm had weakened some, so I was only expecting Pea sized hail, which is what we got out first. Pea sized hail turned into Pennies then Quarters and finally Half Dollars. The biggest stuff fell for about 3-5 minutes. I had to wait roughly 5 minutes for the continuous cloud to ground lightning to die down. Then I went out and collected some hailstones. I'm thinking they were probably close to golf balls when they fell, but melted a bit before I could get out there. Here's some images... Mammatus before the storm. Really cool! Hail was still bigger than quarters even after 5-10 minutes of melting. Best. Storm. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaculaWeather Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 No hail here but lots of wind, only 22 mph at my station but probably 40-45 mph a little higher up. Rain total in my sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrips27 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Incredibly more storms have fired to my N and NW. You'd think the atmosphere would just be drained, but apparently not. Radar has hail markers as high as Tennis Ball sized. I'll gladly sit this one out and give some excitement to EmersonGA and DixieBlizzard I've had enough excitement for a few days.

Gastonwxman Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Just had a tremendously large silver-colored CG bolt strike near my house...again! Right before I went out onto the porch to go grab something, I could hear the snap before the sound of thunder crashed, which sounded similar to that of a jet taking off. Btw, I've hit the lucky 7s on this post (777). I never expected anything so severe. Heck there wasn't even a cloud in the sky til 4:00.

Hail was still bigger than quarters even after 5-10 minutes of melting. Best. Storm. Ever. Glad you got something interesting for once. Great pics. there. Looks similar to the hail I had during the Thursday storm that hit here producing golf ball sized hail. Posted a pic of it somewhere in this topic. Just now got through experiencing the worst of the storm as the heavier stuff has moved into the Charlotte area now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Another Severe Thunderstorm Warning but I think this one will miss me. The line is exploding and I think it will sag south and expand. The line keeps developing westward despite the eastward movement. I think there will be time for the southward progression before the storms train too far east of us. Get ready for Round 2!

juspeachy Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 So, I took the ferns down & sat them on the sidewalk so they could get watered. Hubby ended up chasing them across the yard & my little one's rock wall/slide was blown across the yard into a tree. I have asked the oldest one to not drive back to his apartment in Dahlonega tonight & just stay here with us. I hate for him to drive across the mountains when it's storming! It rained pretty good and there was lots of wind, thunder & lightning. It's thundering again, so I'm assuming we are about to get round #2.

Snowless in Carrollton Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 This is some strange weather. We've had no rain at all, and no storms near me, but the wind has been howling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharonA Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 This is some strange weather. We've had no rain at all, and no storms near me, but the wind has been howling. Lovely, lovely outflow. Brought temps down a good bit, and it got folks to run out and bring in loose-blowing-around-stuff (yay, now if the line actually hits us for real, that's less stuff to end up picking out of my treeline!) We didn't get anything in the earlier line. Hoping for rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
