WNCwx Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 BTW I hope I'm not overdoing it with spotter reports. Trying not to be a spammer, but this kind of stuff just does not happen around here. My opinion prolly doesn't count, but I have appreciated the reports, especially since the tornado took out the guy who was streaming the Central Carolina Skywarn Net on Radio Reference.

WeatherNC Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Hey man, I sat this one out as it just was too risky for me to go with no radar. Bozart is in wilson and as I was talking to him he saw some sort of small debris falling from the sky. That one sup looks to cut Pitt county in half! Yeah, I am thinking it may pas over the western part of the county, Farmville, Falkland area, very scary considering where I am at. Also looks to be cycling per the last couple passes, so we will see how that shakes out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superstorm93 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Possible the tornado was off the ground when it went through the core of the city? havent heard anything between S. Saunders and Yonkers. Would be a relief if it did. Per TWC twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjames1992 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Damn it, why did I go home this weekend? Ugh, the squall line sucked when it went through GSO as I saw nothing but light-moderate winds and a hell of a lot of rain in a very short time. Talking to some folks back at campus, it sounds like I really missed out! The line really picked up once it moved east of I-85, it seemed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
