LithiaWx Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 's Just kidding. I'd love to see a GOM storm come and visit us. Maybe you could go chase it too! I hope so, I made plans with my fiance, her mom, and her mom's best friend for Sunday evening. So my window is kinda small. Friday night to Sunday morning lol...But I'd love to if it fits my schedule. And yes there are plenty of weenies in that thread mixed in with the good tropical posters.If Emily gets strong and into the GoM it's gonna get worse. UKEMT has been the outlier and has consistantly shown this solution....I thouhgt it might be off its rocker Come on Ukie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeyefan1 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Hey everyone, Just a quick update: Thanks for all of the prayers for Mom. She did pass away on July 21st and we had her memorial service last Monday. Nothing in the world can ever prepare you to lose someone that close to you. She was an absolute awesome person and the world lost a great soul. If your Mom is still around, pick up the phone and tell her just how much she means. You won't ever regret it! Thanks again for the support! BR, Greg Love and Light to you and your family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZackH Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Got a treat yesterday (8/7/2011), as I was able to timelapse what appeared to be a border line supercell (at the very least a beastly severe storm that produced golf ball size hail) in Spartanburg, SC. The cool thing was that I filmed it from a little mountain near my house all the way in Asheville, NC. So, while its nothing special, I thought you guys may enjoy it. I don't usually see structure and storms like this in August very often around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZackH Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Very nice ZackH and thanks for sharing... Just curious Nov, how close were you to the storm when it got into Union County? I am the summer volunteer intern at GSP this summer and I know we had one quarter size hail report near the city of Union from that storm. We also had a report of golf ball hail earlier in its life NE of Spartanburg. Am wondering how nasty that thing was underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also had a report of golf ball hail earlier in its life NE of Spartanburg. Am wondering how nasty that thing was underneath. Hey ZackH, I live on the West side of downtown approximately 2 miles from the Park Drive area where trees were down and 3 miles from the Monarch area where more damage was reported, at my home I stood outside and watched the lightning as we did not get anything other than 1 very quick wind gust that I would estimate maybe 30 mph if that. I received no rainfall/hail other than a light misting. There was hail reported in both these areas where the damage was. My sister was driving back form Spartanburg on 176 and had to pull off and seek shelter just below the Kohler Plant due to the quarter size hail/rain and high winds, she called me on the cell and asked me if a tornado warning was out for Spartanburg because it was so bad. they ran into the storm with hail again just Northwest of Jonesville SC and pulled over at the Disney Plant against a wall for shelter. Hope this helps you out, it was a freakish storm because I saw it bearing down on Union but it seemed like it was suddenly pulled toward the NNE at the last minute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoothillsNC Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Spent the majority of the day fixing a water pipe leak right beside my water meter. I noticed yesterday the soggy grounds around it, and today when the meter reader came by I asked about it. They came out and it was determined it's on my end, so I began digging to find it. Found 2 sizeable holes spewing water on the black plastic pipe right beside where the clamps hold the pipe to the meter. I thought it would be simple, so I went to Lowes and bought what I need (short pipe, 4 clamps). Took all day, had to cut several pieces to get an exact fit on the nipple...and that pipe isn't flexible at all, especially dealing with such a short length. And had to keep adjusting the clamps tighter and tighter as there continued to be a small seepage. I was afraid I'd break the clamps if I went any tighter. I'm just grateful I didn't have a leak somewhere else in the yard or I would have had to unearth a ton of dirt, literally. The line was laid just 3 years ago, so not sure what caused me to spring a leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
