Strangest thing right now with a thunderstorm. A continuous roar... not a rumble ... of thunder for almost 6 minutes. It sounded like what a military jet hovering directly overhead might sound like. Not exceptionally loud; just the duration amazed me. Moderate rain falling at the moment.

I'm near Wilmington and heard the same thing a couple of nights ago. The thunder I heard seemed to last about 15 straight minutes.

They seem really sold on the idea of strengthening over land as it leaves NC.  What would be responsible for that?

I remember way back when, the remnants of Hurricane Andrew after hitting Louisiana doing the same thing over NC.
