Never like being the center of attention when it comes to tornado watches and clown maps...unless they are snow maps!  

Yeah, for sure. While I love me some severe storms, it's a fine line between a good show and property damage, insurance claims, or worse. My gut is this will be a pretty classic widespread strong/severe wind outbreak, but nothing high end and not much in the way of tornadoes.

Very strong storm in Hickory this afternoon. Winds took down a couple of trees in my neighborhood, including one in my yard that went across the street. I’ve got good neighbors, though. We all pitched in together to get it cleaned up. Also, shout out to the City of Hickory crew, who were already here this evening to clean up stuff that we hadn’t gotten to and to haul it all off. Very thankful.

Sorry I'm late in posting. I chased yesterday and tried for a discrete near the NC/VA line. When coming back to Raleigh it was very hard to get ahead of the line because of its fast forward motion. I did see a funnel looking north from Round Peak, NC into southern VA. Here are some shots:

Shelf in South Durham (couldn't get any farther ahead of the line)
