My first thought. How long until the highest risk tolerance salvage guys launch to try and get salvage rights on a 500MM+ platform? .

So far today has delivered nicely. .

Glorious rain! Looks like today will buy me keeping the sprinklers put away this week. .

Looks like we’ve got a nice line coming through tonight. .

Not screwing around in Alamance County....gully washer .

And here she comes, almost a week to the hour after the tornado. Yeee haw. .

No wonder I heard it so clearly. That’s maybe 3 blocks from me. Looks from that like it almost went right down University Dr. So yeh, y’all can stuff that bust talk, at least here. Very glad I knew well in advance and had wife, daughter and our cats tucked away.

Dunno if it was confirmed but I’d be shocked if there wasn’t one immediately west of Gibsonville. I heard the damn thing. Constant thunder/freight train like rumble that tracked ENE around my neighborhood as the storm peaked. Clear as day. Lined up with the hook that split between us and Whitsett. . Damage on Spring Hope Church Rd lines up with that. Looks like it went back up and then touched again near downtown Burlington.

Bust, my ass. I was doing a client presentation on WebEx with air raids going off behind me and the house shaking. Geeez that was close. .

How does that map happen? Did the Charlotte corridor just catch a stalled band? I was a sophomore at UNC at the time and remember that storm well but had no idea it dropped up to 20 inches 50 or less miles from me. .

Boone has the correct energy right now. Whole buncha “nope” until we get a lot closer and see some cold air. .

Switch to CSX? .

Not one second before Wednesday IMO, with the caveat that it’s been there for at least 4 consecutive runs even then lol. .

Sticking a 1033 in Kentucky in it’s place was a nice touch from Goofy. Just twist the knife a bit. .

December 2018 here. To be fair, we scored huge just NW of the mixing line (gotta be close enough to smell the pingers!) and I walked with 14 inches but it was three friggin winters ago! .
