Thank you, we do not want to spread misinformation, and listing a confirmed death without a source can do that sometimes. Unconfirmed reports are one thing, but when stating a confirmed fatality please cite where you are getting that information from. It helps tremendously in preserving the accuracy of the information provided here.

wild photo. I think that cell came over my neighborhood. I have been so swamped with other stuff, the weather took a distant second, which almost never happens. Very active night, this reminds me of April again. I'm looking forward to sunshine and cooler weather now.

I am no expert, but the 7th picture in that series looks like possible EF3 damage. Interested to see what the final rating will be.

[metalicwx366]

We just got put under a Tornado Watch until 2am.

[andyhb]

Pics from Burkhart Road probably aren't going to be pretty, several reports of severe structural damage in that area. (homes demolished, etc.)

[ICEHOCEY77]

Finally got the pics up:

[Isopycnic]

Gotta love INAccuweather

Am i under a warning or watch? LOL

[fyredog28]

If RAH's facebook page is a credible source for reports on injuries and fatalities then one confirmed fatal reported in Davidson County.

http://www.facebook.com/US.NationalWeatherService.Raleigh.gov

[andyhb]

I would think that would be a credible source...

[Brick Tamland]

Looks like everything is going south of Raleigh. We might miss this one.

[SN_Lover]

Hearing unconfirmed reports of a Food Lion(at Lexington) being damaged to destroyed and people possibly being pulled out. New unconfirmed reports of 2 gas stations in the are being damaged too along with a seafood place and scattered EF 0 tornado damage.

[on_wx]

Hearing unconfirmed reports of a Food Lion(at Lexington) being destroyed and people being pulled out.

From who?

[SN_Lover]

From who?

Posters on Facebook. That is why i said Unconfirmed.

[tgarren]

i live about 20 miles east of the damage in davidson county. i was coming home from work in greensboro down 220 around the same time the store was entering randolph county. you would have never been able to tell there was a storm coming that could do damage. i was following it best i could on grlevel3 with my laptop tethered to my phone lol. i had some where i had to be at 7 or i would have probably done a little chasing and got some pics. looks like it rolled across 220 about 5 minutes after i came through randleman. i was actually pumping gas at the exact time the tornado damage occured just south of randleman and was only 5 miles away weird.

[FoothillsNC]

Another round of heavy rain coming through now. This makes 4 really good rounds of heavy rain. Almost as heavy as any Summer storm. Plus 4 separate incidents of thunder. This might be it for the system for me.

[fyredog28]

Kind of an OT question but should someone start a separate thread for this event?

[Isopycnic]

Looks like everything is going south of Raleigh. We might miss this one.

and north / west. Poor Brick for being stuck in the bathtub for hours now.

0.53" in 3 minutes earlier. nice winds as well...

[andyhb]

Kind of an OT question but should someone start a separate thread for this event?

Too late for that now, I think.

Also wondering if something just went through Blackshear in SE GA, tornado warning and a couplet on radar.

[NC_hailstorm]

Last of the rain pushing through and it's heavy as well.Estimates are underdone,my yard looks like a lake.

Storm total up to 3.7''

[FoothillsNC]

Lucked up in the rain department today. Earlier today all the ditches were full and I hydroplaned badly. Since then, several more rounds of very heavy rain...always welcome here. Total imby is 1.72" and still falling heavily . Might make 2".

[Buckeye05]

New tornado warning with decent couplet near Waycross, GA.

[Solak]

Always hate to read/hear about the damage, injuries and fatalities with these strong systems.

Looks like some of are going to once again fall victim to the all to famous 'Carolina split'. I don't see my location getting much more than a stray sprinkle.

[andyhb]

This event certainly surpassed a lot of expectations.

TOG on that SE GA cell.

Looks like I'll be getting one more round of heavy rain before this is all said and done. I'm up to .91" so we'll see if I can reach the 1" mark. Other than the torrential rain from earlier this morning and a shower that came through during the early afternoon, I haven't had any storms come through here. They were all either west or south of me so at least I avoided receiving any damaging storms. Feel sorry for the folks who were slammed hard. Hopefully our friends further east won't have to put up with too much from the storms.
