CAPE Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 This is the perfect set up for a tornado in these parts. Doesn't happen often. Not gonna lie, I would love to chase and see one, but just not in my yard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For luck, of course. eta @HighStakes did a nice job on my roof, so yeah, tornados are cool, but down the street is better than here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeedaSnowday Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Good morning...I'm usually more involved with winter weather events, but I'm on the sound side of OBX in Nags Head! It has been quite amazing to experience the fury of this hurricane and crazy to feel the house shake at times! I cannot imagine what a direct hit or a Cat 2 or higher would be like!? Uhmm, I will be glad when this is done! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uhmm, I will be glad when this is done! I was at the outer banks just north of Ocracoke Island during Alex in 2004. It was nuts. Be safe, but get out on the beach when you can for shells. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be safe, but get out on the beach when you can for shells. We were here for that one too! But tucked into house pretty much as soon as you enter Kitty Hawk. I recall it being more tame compared to this bad boy...but being right on the waterfront is more intense!! Thanks for the idea of shell collecting after it is gone. I can tolerate 6+ hours of snow...lol this?...not so much! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not gonna lie, I would love to chase and see one, but just not in my yard. Yes - I've only seen one live tornado in my life - in Kansas in the early 70's. However, as a teenager I will never forget seeing the aftermath of the Xenia F5 that obliterated downtown Xenia, Ohio in 1974. https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2019/04/03/xenia-ohio-tornado-f-year-anniversary/ You can still see parts of the path plowed through the center of downtown Xenia 46 years later. Our local fire department responded with mutual aid from 30 miles away. Our dad drove us through the aftermath 4 days afterwards. Only way we got past the National Guard was because he wore is Fire Dept turn out gear. Will never forget the devastation of seeing houses with a totally clean slab where even the toilet had been ripped from the foundation. Seen a lot of weather around the world and that is near the top of unforgettable experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakkelWx Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 No way we get a third tropical cyclone to impact the area. It's just not possible, right? I am saving this post for review once October comes around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of several events that kick-started my interest in this obsession we all call weather. The tornado just missed a hospital in downtown, Xenia, which would have made the death toll much higher. What is also surreal is the green Buick Electra 225 in the picture on the Capital Weather Gang photo... We had the same car at the time and drove it through Xenia after the tornado.

Baltimorewx Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I go back to full time work Monday, and with it being a beautiful day I think it’ll be a great day to do some outdoor brewery hop tours.

WxUSAF Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Regular Deep Creek visitors like @nj2va: we're trying to plan a big family getaway for late September or Columbus Day weekend. A couple family members think it will be too chilly Columbus Day weekend to do much on/in the water (or maybe outside...). I figure it's certainly possible to get a chilly day that time of year, but could also be spectacular with temps near 70? What's your personal experience?
