Caught a good storm last night just after 2100... that was the most lightning I've seen in a while, with several close strikes.  I could swear I heard little staticky crackles in our bedroom with the flashes, before the thunder.  The second shift guys at work (~8 mi away) said the power kept going in and out.

Had a small cell move a couple miles to my north yesterday. It was quite small only a a few miles in diameter. It gave me a great view of the updraft and then as it began to strengthen back up it formed a great structure on the bottom and the inflow and vertically rising scud looked incredible. There was zero rotation with it so even though it looks like a "wedge tornado" its nothing but inflow.

Cool looking storm. It certainly does look like a big wedge Tornado.

Maybe today?

 ...Carolinas/mid-Atlantic States...
   Thunderstorms should diurnally increase this afternoon initially
   near the mountains/higher terrain where differential cloud cover may
   also be an influence near and ahead of an advancing cold front. As
   the front continues to spread east-southeastward, storms should
   increase in coverage and organization/intensity by late this
   afternoon into evening as they move into a more unstable air mass
   across the Piedmont and coastal plain. Somewhat stronger forcing for
   ascent/vertical shear should also influence the region later today
   via the approach of a modestly amplifying upstream trough. Multiple
   eastward-moving clusters of strong to severe thunderstorms are
   probable this afternoon and evening especially across NC/southern
   VA, with localized wind damage as the primary risk.

Pretty high cape across eastern NC, let's see if we can get some decent storms.

Yeah surface cape is getting above 3000-4000 over a lot of the SE.....the timing though sucks....you might luck out and get a heat of the day storm on the sea breeze if it can get inland at all....me I gotta wait for the S/W later probably around 7-10 pm. Should be pretty unstable still but nothing like if we had that S/W moving through now.
