It may be the worst severe weather day for Charlotte since one of those mid 80s outbreaks. I am talking about Charlotte specifically. I could care less about outbreaks anywhere else in the state in this instance. Yeah easily the worst I can remember for the Charlotte metro area in a long while....if it don't calm down soon it will end up being a big day for the entire state.....we are getting a few breaks in the clouds down here in the east. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today has produced more tornadoes based on OTG calls by the NWS and now some ground confirmation reports coming out than some of our more well-advertised spring systems of late. And it's only a little past noon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping its shifted enough that I'm out of the highest severe threat..but not the rain. I only had 1.6 inches when I posted that...now have 3.35. The amount of water in the pasture here is as high as ive ever seen it...glad I'm not in a low spot. Only a few modest gusts so far wind wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burrel2 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Looks like that lone super cell in Middle Georgia has some tight rotation. Why isn't there a warning on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be the worst severe weather day I can remember since the late 80s for Charlotte. I’ve lived here for around 13 years now.

Iceagewhereartthou Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Almost had water in my basement a couple hours ago. Never had my creek jump its bank before but it backed up and flooded the whole yard. Only a foot or so from coming in. CRAZY stuff! Thankfully it's been very light rain since. Over 5.7 so far.

We have been right on the edge of the front all day. We were about 60 degrees in Winston until 4am or so, then dropped to mid 40's in less than 2 hours. Climbed just slightly up to around 49-50 degrees just in the last hour. Amazing how the most severe cells came right up just to our south, less than 10 miles, then pushed east. Forsyth County was actually tornado warned earlier but the radar indicated rotation was JUST south in Davie County. Closest lighting strike though was less than 2 miles, lots of thunder today. Dangerous day but extremely interesting to learn from as a novice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Friend is reporting numerous trees down in his neighborhood off Falls of the Neuse near Ravenscroft. Fiance says power has come back on in our neighborhood but a lot of branches down and trashcans blown over.

She wasnt sure why the schools were in session today. I can’t ever remember them cancelling school in my day, but there were days where we basically spent the entire day in the hall. I remember once in 8th grade or so, they sent us to the halls and I got a glimpse out of door, and evil cloud looked to be about 200 ft off the ground, rolling over the football field. Not a twister, but was trying mightily to become one. I did have my mom pick me up from elementary school once in the middle of the day when we lived in Tupelo, cause it was warning after warning. Also in Tupelo spent many nights in the most primitive leaky, dark, spider infested storm shelter, until the the neighbors across the street built a nice, fancy one under ground.
