Fiance says power has come back on in our neighborhood but a lot of branches down and trashcans blown over. Sounds like quite the windstorm with the northern part of that bend as it pushed through My parents have a massive pine tree down in their yard in the same area. Pretty much any/every creek in the Charlotte metro area is massively overflowing. And it looks like it may keep raining until 2 AM or so. This is bad.

knowledgeispwr Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Forward progression seems to be temporarily halted at the Wake/JoCo line. Still dry here in Clayton.I also noticed the forward progression has really slowed based on the radar. Storm total 3.81” in southwest Winston-Salem.

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. You grew up just up 22 from them. She grew up just outside of Winfield in Marion County, about half an hour from the MS line. If my wife is spooked about severe weather, that’s sort of my barometer to worry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point the entire North GA counties were all under flood warnings. I don't believe I've ever seen that. FFC radar estimates look pretty close to reality; it shows a small pocket of 5-6" about half a mile to my west and my cocorahs guage recorded 5.65" in NW Forsyth. This means in 2020 (37 days) I've received a whopping 13.22"!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure how old your wife is, but I bet she’s heard of the Guin storm 1974 The famous super outbreak. I was 6 at the time. I don’t remember that day specifically, but I’m sure I spent the day huddled up somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QC_Halo Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 In the 13 years we’ve been here it’s probably only the 2nd time I’ve gotten our one safe space (a closet) cleared out for sever weather. My daughter (home sick from school) thought it was pretty exciting for a few minutes, getting to huddle in the closet with mom. Totally foreign to her. I’ve always been fascinated with tornadoes, and have been real close a number of times, but I’ve got to say, it’s been kind of nice not having to worry too much about them here in the Carolinas.

Calderon Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 KNIP (NAS Jacksonville, FL) measured a gust to 66kt with this line a bit ago.

SharonA Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Impressive how widespread the high wind reports are in Florida. It is going to be an unholy mess, all those gorgeous old live oaks.

NorthHillsWx Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 3.85" of rain in the bucket. Winds gusting over 40 this morning I'd say. More impactful than a lot of tropical systems here. Many trees down, power outages, and some flooding. Quite the day. Still ongoing unless these winds slacked too... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 From rainfall and flooding, tornadoes, a widespread severe squall line, to a post-frontal wind event, I'd say this system has overperformed or at least met expectations for almost all areas of the sub forum. Anyone notice the 68 mph wind gust at Hatteras last hour? We just had what I assume to be the last of the rain from the system. Winds are gusty, but nothing compared to 6:30 this morning. Too bad it wasn't snow but this has been an exciting couple days on the weather front. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharonA Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Not as bad as 2009's week-of-rain, but the flood warnings and water levels in northern Georgia were pretty amazing. We ended up with what looks like about 5.5" in south Cumming/north Alpharetta. I missed the first part due to driving home from a road trip Weds evening, during which (unintentionally) my timing was perfect for the maximum time spent in torrential rain as the line crossed I-75. From about 50-60 miles north of the FL/GA border until nearly the Perimeter, it was continual rain ranging from near-whiteout to just heavy. Husband reported that we had 1-2 minutes of light snow flurry early this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
