Moose4 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Yeah, and I didn't know anything about the warning. I'm in a building with no windows except at the front and we're supposed to get a phone elert with these things, but we got nothing. When the NWS puts out a tornado warning for RTP, they make a big announcement over the PA here where I work and make us go to interior rooms. I spent a half-hour chilling in somebody's office, peeking out into the hall and checking the end window for cows and Tin Men flying by. It was a bit breezy, I don't even think we got any rain. Now my wife, at our house on the SW side of Durham, had the basement ready to dive into, apparently it got a little more scary out that way. Looks like another line headed our way in an hour or two.

DaculaWeather Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I have an EMWIN receiver on my weather computer at home, it sends out watches and warnings to Twitter, Facebook, email, and to a client piece I have here at work. Very handy, I get the messages as soon as they're issued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennedy Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 It just started pouring here in South Charlotte, the sun was out like 10 minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valkhorn Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Indeed you did. 10.35 now and still coming down hard. I think we are going to make a run for 12 inches before daybreak. We've shattered our 24 hr rainfall record already. That was only 7.61 inches back in 1886. Radar estimate at my house in Knoxville put me at 6.25" or so. TYS had about 6 inches total. It was one of the rainiest days we've ever had, but not the rainiest. You guys pretty much shattered your record. I spent the day playing with legos and watching the rain, so it was enjoyable. Hey, we've all got to play with toys sometime! I will say this though, the lawn looks so much greener already and I'm glad I dead headed my roses last weekend because they are going to drink up this water and grow like mad.

Solak Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 It's a little frustrating watching these bands line up 15 miles W and 30 miles E of here and staying in the dry slot. I guess the upside of it is not having to deal with anything damaging IMBY. Can hear thunder from the band off to the West right now that will pass between Raleigh and the radar site.

Busick Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I live next to the Alamance county line and that was a strong cell that moved threw. Not so much Lighting where I was at, but I am sure 5-8 miles to my east it was pretty instense. Caswell county is still under a Tornado Warning (No confirmed sighting yet). local TV station still showing broad rotation with the cell moving torwards Yancyville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernNJ Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Solid line about to move through Raleigh and surrounding areas. As for the recent TOR-warned storm, it appears as though the strongest circulation happened between Hillsborough and Schley, between 140 and 145 PM EDT.

eyewall Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I chased in Alamance this morning and then caught the meso of the Durham County cell just afternoon (right after the tor warning was lifted). It still had some rotation at that point. The first three are Alamance County and the others are SW Durham County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Ended up with 6.2" of rain...now the sun is out and the swollen river is calling. It's tubin' time. You hear anything about a funnel cloud near Eden yesterday? My in-laws sent me the attached, the first of which, at least appears to depict a decent wall cloud.

Cool shot. But I don't think you even need EF0 winds to get something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernNJ Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Yet another solid line of heavy rain moving through Raleigh and points east. This one has a warning on it for damaging winds and also appears to have some weak rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose4 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Eyewall, out of curiosity, where were you in SW Durham County when you got those pics? That's fairly close (as in a few miles) to MBY, as we're in Tuscaloosa-Lakewood, a couple miles southwest of downtown just off US 15/501. If you see the Lakewood weather station on Weather Underground, we're less than a half-mile from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Great pics, Eyewall! Finally caught a band that has some W-E movement to it. Picked up .48" in 15 minutes, so we're a little over an inch now for the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
