Although I bemoan the splitting of this subforum into smaller subregions, I understand why people felt the need to do so. Sometimes, it seems every storm and weather event is dominated by the backyard perspective of people in the Raleigh area. Even the notion that “central NC” just means Raleigh or the Triangle is rather myopic. I guess those of us in the Triad and western Piedmont need to post more. For us, this storm is looking like a big deal.
