WidreMann Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 While out for dinner I got caught up in the best storm I have seen in a while heavy rain, gust to 35-40 and pea to nickel size hail...... How old are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WidreMann Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Huh, I actually just turned 41 why? I thought maybe you were geriatric based on the fact that you had already returned from dinner around 5:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL tons of my friends say the same about how I go out to eat early but truth is I hate eating in crowded restaurants so I tend to go early to beat the dinner rush.

Plus, you get to feel comparatively young. Every now and then I go to a K&W for the same reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbmclean Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Can't be any worse than these storms just sitting there taunting us down here. Wish it would just drift N and hit us and knock out these 90 degree temps. Check out the radar for NC. You will see great blobs of storms with a big dry slot in the middle. The dry slot is aimed directly at Wilson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Rain Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Plus, you get to feel comparatively young. Every now and then I go to a K&W for the same reason. Love some Kanes and Walkers. They have awesome chicken pie and banana/strawberry compost. The only part of Wake Co. without any rain today is the SE corner...gee, I wonder who lives there. Oh yeah, me.

Solak Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Picked up .85" overnight! .28" in a 20 minute pop-up shower, then the rest at that line/boundary moved North. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WidreMann Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I foresee a dry day here in the western Triangle. Looks like the main action is, as usual, forming just to the east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tis storm prompted a flash flood warning, thunderstorm warning awesome stuff for a weather fan. I had a bit of distant thunder yesterday morning along with the .7 but last night, and today so far, was mostly rain free, with maybe a few hundredths over night. But, now I can hear the thunder from up the road, so maybe I can get some of your gold before it tuckers out I'm fine with the clouds and 72, but I'd love some of your rain to come visit!

Mr Bob Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 My first Knoxville Hailer! I was surprised by the size of the hail so I went running out to get the car in the garage and actually got gouged in the arm....damn things were very spikey! That is a quarter on the counter....

cbmclean Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 A heavy rain cell is almost literally tearing in two over my house, heavy rain a few hundred yards to the east and west. Just sprinkles over me. I wish I knew how to record radar loops to display on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
