Heels98 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Quick correction, it was further north from the school area, more toward the Washburn community. (edit: this is for the Rutherford county/ellenboro storm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion_NC_WX Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I wonder if there are any snow reports in Jackson County? The radar (algo) is showing it...talk about crazy if that was the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Ridge_Escarpment Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 The eastern section of burke county is having several reports of damage and structure collapses coming into WBTV..appears the worst right now seems to be Icard as far as damage reports go....

Gastonwxman Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 A Tornado Warning remains in effect until 645 PM EST for southeastern Caldwell and Alexander counties... At 625 PM EST... National Weather Service Doppler radar continued to indicate a tornado. This tornado was located near Lake Hickory... or 6 miles north of Hickory... moving northeast at 35 mph. Other locations in the warning include but are not limited to Millersville... Ellendale and Taylorsville Apparently someone's home had collapsed and are trapped in a basement. Terrible news.

AcworthWx Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 That's a pretty big and long lasting Bow Echo. Still waiting to see those lower temps NE of Hickory start to dismantle this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landof2rivers Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Just heard thunder. We are expecting heavy rain to mve through in the next hour. The temp is in the low 40's. I really hope the severe stays away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schlontz Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Just spent about fifteen minutes in the basement. Heard some hail beating on the windows, but seem to have dodged a bullet on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCSNOW Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Stay safe everyone: When you get the chance go back and watch the cbs evening news: 2 outstanding reports. 1st one on Cordova Alaska having received 15 feet of snow, temps above freezing today, then tanking again Friday. National Guard called in to dig town out. Their heavy snow months are Feb/Mar on average. 2cnd great story on AO and showing how Vale ski resort having worst season ever along with other busines's. I never watch evening news, just sitting here doing work on laptop. They have a machine to scoop via bulldozer and dump snow into to melt at 150 degrees in cordova and here I sit witout seeing a flake/flurry since last winter.

WxKnurd Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Cell passed right over my grandparents area in the bethlehem area (just north of hickory) from what I am seeing via radar stills here and after a quick call they said all is well and no damage that they can see.

WilkesboroDude Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 doubt it. last few frames have shown some significant weakening. Thought so. It's freezing outside!

Mr Bob Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Got home at 5ish this afternoon...supremely busy day and have not watched the radar all day long but was in shock when I saw what is in the picture below...small hail or graupel...gathered along the railroad tie in the driveway...Either I have been trolled (snowcone machine dumpings) or I have missed a really cool event....

SouthernNJ Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 The storm continues to show rotation, as such a new TOR is in effect. The circulation is crossing I-40 at 610 PM EST and looks to go just, and I mean just, northwest of downtown Hickory within the next 10 to 15 minutes. Hope its above the ground. I guess it was not above the ground the whole time. From review, the strongest of the g2g circulation was between 607 to 613 PM EST, almost right as it crossed I-40 somewhere between Icard and Hildebran...or about 5 to 7 miles west of the city center of Hickory. I know you cannot guess a tornado EF rating by radar, but based upon the damage reports and rotation strength, this may have been bigger than just a small spin-up. I hope everyone comes out of this ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesboroDude Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I am on standby mode with video camera. Lightning and thunder at roughly 45 degrees up here in Wilkes. Might get lucky and see some hail as it appears it will track directly overhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landof2rivers Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I have a question about the events of the last hour or so. What changed to have severe south and west of me instead of the forecasted chances for severe south and east of me? If this is not in the correct thread, please move this.

strongwxnc Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 We drove out Salem church road. A barn and some of a house had damages about 1 mile past Harvey Logan road (the big white house on top of the hill) Talked EFD and they stated that people were trapped on dycus road. Was able to drive to dycus but was not allowed on it. Kim's mother in law has a scanner and found this out 4 people were In critical condition (all from the dycus road area). All are being sent to Cleveland county reg. One had a wall fall on them and one was blown out The house. MAMA was called but was unsafe to land so that were transported via ambulance. This would be about 2 miles NW on me... I'm hearing tornado damage around Ellenboro School, about 2 miles to my northeast. I'm fine here, had some hail and wind, didn't expect it was that bad that close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burkecountync Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 The storm went approximately two miles west of my house. Note, I live in Hildebran. According to reports from my family (I am in college at UNC-A), there are trees and power lines reported down all over the county. Everyone in my family is ok. There are reports of a structure collapse and other damage; however, the bigger problem is the trees that are down. I will update as soon as I receive more information. Prayers are need right now.
