Yep, that's what she just said. She sent me some grainy sasquatch video, but you could hear it hitting the house and see it bouncing. She saved a couple big ones in the freezer. I'll confirm later. I always miss the good stuff, ug!

Storm just got warned going into Smithfield with radar indicated tornado. I'm to the North of what looks like the worst.

Damn

That is freaking insane and a mess.... holy cow!

 

[Gibby]

Forgive my ignorance, does NWS RAH rely on surrounding area radar stations or do they use WTVD's or WRAL's own radar stations be able to supplement while KRAX is down? Also, is there away to view other local radar's velocity map using an app such as MyRadar?

 

[Myfrotho704_]

Maybe a TVS with that storm north of Goldsboro?

Just got out and rode around through what should have been affected area's between Smithfield and Kenly.... No damage and did not see any hail on ground, but looked to be hail fog all around. I'm guessing that the size was not too great as there were no leftovers. No indication of any wind or tornado damage. Did not go east of 95 though.

Lots of windows busted, car windows gone, siding smashed, trampolines blown around, etc. in my neighborhood!

Crazy man, I pulled my truck into the garage last minute, but everything missed me to the south just by a hair.
