calculus1 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Line looks strong. How much will the mountains chew it up? Hoping it survives to give us some rain here in Hickory.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sw NC weather Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 We got a big storm in northern Macon county about a hour ago lots of wind and quarter size hail. Looks like the main line is about to move thru. Hopefully it’s not as strong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Penland Posted August 15, 2023 Author Share Posted August 15, 2023 Storm North of Burnsville got real wrapped up for a little bit, surprised it didn't get warned. Maybe a quick TDS, too? Hard to tell around here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Gotta love the GSP disco when the forecasters get creative. From this morning’s write up:“So, it`s safe to say that the period should be dry,apart from the outside chance of a little shower getting sometraction Wednesday afternoon east of I-77...but this looks about aslikely as my new kitten is to stop trying to eat the cord on myalarm clock (read: not likely at all).”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckethead Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Storm North of Burnsville got real wrapped up for a little bit, surprised it didn't get warned. Maybe a quick TDS, too? Hard to tell around here. That cell passed right over my house about 20 minutes prior to this. It's been a long time since I've heard thunder like that...it sounded like someone was hitting the side of the house. I had to drag a 70lb pittie out from under our bed this morning and she's typically not afraid of storms. We picked up another 2.55" of rain as well.

Met1985 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Yeah I had 3 storms roll through from last night through this morning. Picked up over 2 inches of rainfall and the thunder was relentless. A lot of close lightning strikes around the house. A ton more rainfall. We could use a week to dry out really. The ground is very saturated.
