Boy Virginia really got hammered Friday night. Verizon has lost all voice and data for the whole state. No estimate of repair time. My sister in law lives in Lynchburg and they have been told next Saturday is the best estimate of getting power back on. She runs a clinic and is using dry ice to keep the meds and vaccines from spoiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaggy Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 This is one of if not the worst thunderstorm I have had. At my house it stayed sustained at 40+ for 5 minutes with just white out type gusts constantly. I'll do some work with the camera tomorrow and try and get some better pics the damage was insane.

Jon Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I saw a rain drop I think but it might have been my imagination. Raleigh has been quiet all day. Wish I could cash in on that golf ball sized hail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Reports now that the Coast Guard is responding to several distress calls from boaters caught on the Pamlico river and sound during the storms I cant imagine how scary it would have been to have 70-100 MPH winds while out on the big water ugh.....

El Kabong Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 We've had two separate rounds of showers and t-storms over the past few hours. Somewhat unexpected as only 30% coverage was expected today. Glad I was in the 30%! The first round dropped our temperature 24 degrees from 102 to 78. Nice steady rain falling again right now which is sorely needed as our county is right in the heart of the D4 drought area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cherry point recorded a gust of 84 per the spc reports page, also a anemometer on a highway patrol cruiser recorded 75 in Greenville, 3 confirmed fat in ENC, 1 in Pitt (barn blew over and onto a man), 2 in Beaufort (pair killed by tree failing on golfcart). Power is on here, lots of trees snapped though, none on my property, but saw a neighbor up the road who took a sycamore into his new Chrysler. May go over in the morning with the chainsaw and help extricate it. Temp went from 95 @ 1555 to 66 @ 1635, 29 degree drop in 40 minutes, wind responded accordingly. IR loop, like a bomb went off http://www.atmos.washington.edu/~ovens/wxloop.cgi?ir_east_enhanced+12 Some blues in there, sub 200K tops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Kabong Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Looking at the radar loop and the estimated radar totals, it looks like some parts of our county didn't receive a drop while the far northern section had between 1-2 inches. I think my neighborhhood got between 1/3 and 1/2 inch. The 30% coverage was probably pretty accurate for our forecast area. Areas that didn't receive rain are still well into the 90's so the cool down was very welcomed. Currently sitting at 72 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalicwx366 Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 Apparently its 87 with a heat index of 102 and haze. I don't see any haze unless it's on the other side of town. I see the SPC extended the slight risk into North Florida and now we are in a 30% wind and hail area here. Maybe this will bring some action.

metalicwx366 Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 That was weird. We saw nothing but sprinkles and very strong winds for quite a while actually. Gusts in the 50-60mph range. Now the storms pass us then explode. Lots of lightning and loud thunder to the south now. The winds made my night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
