burrel2 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Quite a bust by SPC from this morning. They only had a small area under the "marginal" category. It looks like they upgraded our area to "slight" maybe an hour ago. Also, no tornado watch box? It seems like we've had 5 or 6 touchdowns in the upstate at minimum today. Way more active than the "high" risk bust day we had back in the spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Expand I think it is a mobile home, but the undamaged trees are most likely due to the narrow path width. They showed a live shot video at the scene and there's a narrow 50 to 100yd wide path thats leveled with no tree's standing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Just stupid silly amounts of rainfall here in Hickory, NC. I am measuring just shy of 4 inches of rainfall, and that's all fallen since 7:00 PM. Crazy!That's quite the overperforming system when compared to GSP's forecast of 0.75 to 1 inch of rainfall tonight.Sent from my Alcatel 6055U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
