Solak Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Fires in Cary and Garner possibly sparked by lightning RALEIGH, NC (WNCN) — Heavy storms with lightning are suspected in two structure fires in the Triangle on Tuesday evening. The incidents happened in Raleigh/Garner and Cary just before 8 p.m. while a severe thunderstorm was in effect for Wake County. Fire crews are looking into whether lightning sparked a fire in Cary — that damaged part of a home on Livingstone Drive, about a block from Fire Station 1 in Cary. Crews say the fire started in the garage — and damaged it and the room above. The couple inside the home was not hurt. Also, lightning is a possible cause in a garage fire on the Raleigh-Garner line along Cedar Rail Road, which is off Rock Quarry Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I picked up another 0.30 in the bucket this afternoon. Almost two thirds of an inch in two days. That qualifies as a flood around here lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Got a "T" from a rogue blow-off sprinkle from one of those storms last evening. Evaporated as soon as it made contact with earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 We had one heck of a storm last night. Our first real thunderstorm this year. Heavy rain, lots of lightning with some close strikes. Ended up with .59" which bought us up to 2.51" for the month. Too bad I was already in bed for that one. Probably had some impressive cloud structure with it.

WinstonSalemArlington Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 A very nice day indeed. It looks like Greensboro and RDU maxed out at 87. But the big difference is dewpoints in the low to mid 60s. Almost refreshing. Heat Wave broken! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isopycnic Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I just got missed by the storm at work by a mile or so but the clouds were rotating around this cell. Pretty neat.

Cold Rain Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Looks like storms are forming and moving over virtually the same areas this morning. Otherwise, I'm a bit surprised at how quiet the radar is, given the high rain chances today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 At work but it looks like home has been getting slammed for the last hour and now I am hearing thunder as it approaches where I work. Will be interesting to see how much rain I got at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yotaman Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 A local weather station 1 mile from my home has picked up 4.11" so far today and another heavy storm is approaching. very impressive if it is accurate. That gauge is up to 5" as of 12:15. Man I wish I was home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaggy Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Seems the storms are riding an axis just south of me and i'm missing the heavy stuff while 20 miles down the the road they are getting drenched. I've had numerous good storms over the last week so its no biggie to miss the heaviest stuff and i am seeing a solid light to sometimes moderate rain here.
