Severe (tornado + wind) event looming: 01/30-01/31 Wed.-Thursday

What mph would you guestimate?

 

 

Not even sure but it def put the 50+ mph gust we've been having to shame, it was like sustained for a good 4-5 minutes, made the apt building shake.

 

At PGV last obs recorded a gust to 54 sustained at 40 and I was about 1.5 miles from the airport at a Sheetz ( I will post short video in morning) and it was easy 50-60 there.

Thanks man!  This wind out here close to CAE is no joke with the actual front passage.  I'm hearing at least 40mph+ gusts in my home.  Good stuff!

FAIL in Carrboro. The winds were stronger well before the line. Nothing impressive at all. Definitely a letdown.

During the large tornado outbreak a few years past the same thing happened here in Orange county. The actual front with the thunderstorms was calm compared to the winds before and after the storm.

FFC has another great storm summary of yesterday's event. They just updated as well with the survey of the Adairsville tornado. They noted some areas that had high end EF-3 damage. Amazing tornado path. Kudos for their event writeups, they've been excellent lately, hope they keep it up!

I'd like to see that! :-)

 

I tried to find the video, but it's not on their page. They didn't interview anyone and they probably just used it as a backdrop to a story. We were kinda shocked to see them show up...shocked that management allowed them in on such a busy event.
