Araqiel Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 5 hours ago, PackGrad05 said: Here is the definition for moderate from SPC. I'd say it fit the bill. If you want post-event verification stats follow @jimmyc42 on Twitter. SPC categories are based on probabilities so you can't really just go by the description of the category. 17 tornadoes and 493 wind reports probably verified the 10/45% tor/wind probs nicely - they actually expanded the moderate at 2000Z which wouldn't have happened if they felt it was going off-track. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtg947h Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 One of my coworkers had a tree fall on his truck yesterday, from the TOR warned cell in Effingham Co. GA yesterday. He was outside planting and the storm came up very fast. "It was something I've only seen a few times in my life, mostly in Texas... it was a microburst or something. At least in Texas you can see them coming because there's nothing around, but here it just snuck up on us" was how he described it. We got nothing but a good gust of wind or two and some twigs blown around. It did seem to come almost out of nowhere and sneak up on us, since the clouds were so low before the squall line hit. You almost couldn't see it coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewall Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I chased on the 19th and was in great position for the Ramseur, NC cell but it didn't produce: Video (5x speed): 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 This next series is from Chatham County. We couldn't get to the Hillsborough Cell but were on the one just south of it. With that said in reviewing the shots you can see a wall cloud at the edge of the rain to the north in that cell (the two were not fully discrete and the tor ended up being rain wrapped anyway). Looking more westerly (No tor is visible here but this I believe was the storm that produced in Siler City): 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this video is either very early or late in its cycle cause that was no EF3 in the video.....looks like RAH NWS has confirmed at least 6 tornados now in their CWA...
