Marion_NC_WX Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I have massive tree damage. Again!! UGGG. I watched my neighbors go down ..a huge maple. This is pathetic. I feel your pain...we got 3 really weak but large trees on a neighboring piece of property...1 of those just bit the dust and just missed the primary power lines. 2 more are on borrowed time.

NEGa Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 yeah no doubt the speed of it is what helped push that strong outflow with high winds. A normal pop up doesnt' do this much. We've had a TON of extremely fast moving waves of convection this year, not much rain though. Its partly cloudy now. Still pretty scary to go from calm to 60mph in just a few seconds. That's for sure. A lot of the storms this year have had some impressive wind - and today was no exception. About half inch so far and radar looks good for some more good rain (unless it disappears as it hits ne ga and the upstate lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCBlizzard Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Picked up a measly tenth of an inch, it only rained for about 10 minutes. Looks like a lot are without power in Greenville County, SC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 That was intense here in Lincolnton. Almost reminded me of the early April storm. Hearing lots of reports of trees down in and around town. I picked up almost a half inch of rain, just northeast of town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilj4425 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 GSP Airport can't seem to catch a break. They got slammed one week ago with over two dozen trees down. Now it appears they got hit again: At about 8 p.m., a tree was reported to be blocking the entrance road at Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport.

burkecountync Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I did not even register any rain from the system here in eastern Burke County. The wind was great; I registered a wind gust of 27.3 mph. The gust was probably close to 40-50 mph though because there are trees nearby and the sensor is not above those trees. Definitely strange to get all that wind with only a few drops of rain. Oh well, that is the way it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC_hailstorm Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Nothing severe here and barely any rain,just a few sprinkles and a little wind that gusted close to 30 mph a couple times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaculaWeather Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 My situation has been a lot like Robert's, I get these great looking storms coming through but all I get is a little rain but a lot of wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaculaWeather Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Stack overflow @ line one Thanks. I've discovered it's a bug in IE7/IE8. IE9 is fine along with Chrome and Firefox. I hate IE anything, it's the hardest browser to code for. We're looking for a modified script but not sure how much luck we'll have. It has to do with certain radar images that the JSON script is trying to download, either they're missing or have some problem the script doesn't like, it doesn't happen all the time and can appear to be random. But it only happens during updates to the images. I've had it work for hours with no error though, you just don't know. If you click OK when the error happens, it continues to work ok. It's just annoying as hell. Luckily there are less and less people using IE7 and 8 as people move to Windows7. IE9 is a much better (and standards compliant) browser than any of the previous versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevDodd Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Finally got a decent soaking in central Harnett. 1.55 inches in Lillington, maybe 1.3 over toward Dunn after getting zilch the night before. First rain of note we've had in a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I got a whopping 0.01 inches yesterday. The storms have split my area the last two days. Over a couple of inches just to my NW and around an inch just to my SE, as well. Nada in my backyard. Maybe these morning showers will make it up to my area today. It's cloudy and humid outside right now: 68 temp over 67 DP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainforrest Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 this am rain has been the best rain i've had in a couple months no wind no thunder and lightning no hail just a good soaking rain. 2 day total so far .94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtg947h Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Smoke conditions are terrible this morning in Savannah... I work at the airport and we're down to 1mi visibility... I can't even see the end of the runway from here, and the buildings on the other side of the field are barely visible. Even inside the building we can smell smoke, and it's bad enough that my throat is getting irritated. NWS has us at a 50% chance of rain this evening; hopefully we'll get some to wash the smoke out if nothing else. The fires are in very southeast Georgia and the smoke is clearly visible in this image: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeyefan1 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 not my house, I was just getting back in when the winds began. I grabbed teh cam and looked toward the neighbors first, since he's south. I heard the cracking of his tree, and over it went. I then looked at my woods and good grief I know some came down there again. The winds switched direction after a few minutes when the heavy rain began. I'm sorry your "to do" list has grown again 0 little precious drops of rain. Better luck the next day... NWS has this area at 50% today.....hopefully today is your day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil882 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 My thoughts on today's action... the clouds and stratiform rain this morning might prevent a lot of convective activity across the Carolinas, although there is a severe weather threat further west into Tennessee and Alabama. http://www.avlweatherblog.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NGTim Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 got about 2.6 inches out of this storm. quite pleased, as only had about .90 this month prior to that.
