I was just on the other forum and noticed some of my favorite posters aren't around there anymore, but are here. I haven't been active on this site in a couple of years. So, is this where the cool kids hang out now?
It seems like this forum has drawn a lot of my favorite posters from back at Talkweather and AmericanWx, so I mostly post here now. I don’t think this forum was around back before I moved to FL in 2016, and I didn’t learn about this forum until a couple months ago. :)

Yes, it was here in 2016. A lot of us moved over here from EasternUSwx (Americanwx) in early December of 2016. I still post over there, but not very often.

Not sure about being cool, but at least we have traffic on here.
 
Carolina basketball is cursed this season. Never seen a team find a way to lose games as many times as this team has.
I have! UGA has lost multiple 20+ leads this year (along with a bunch of others). UGA is a VERY young team. UNC, man, they've just had some bad luck with untimely injuries and those leads lost. They'll be back next year for sure. I'm hopeful that we'll have a good, young experienced team next year. Go Dawgs!! PS: Good luck with the wintry weather to all!!! :)

Glad we took down Auburn! Go Dawgs!

At least NC State took down the dookies last night.

I’m begrudgingly a NCSU supporter since they are the AG and Engineering school for NC. I’m a huge Clemson fan and have been since Woody Hayes tried to clock Charlie Bauman in the Orange Bowl in 1978. I like the fact that NCSU and a Clemson play every year for the Textile Bowl. So basically I’m a lifelong Clemson fan and a NCSU fan for my in-state sports except when they play Clemson.

I’m glad they beat Dook. Go Pack!!
 
Might I remind you of the 2001-2002 UNC men’s basketball team led by former Tar Heel Matt Doherty? 8-20 sound familiar?
This team, unlike them, have been plagued by injuries. Theyve still been competetive in their games, they just dont close them out and allow themselves to get beat by last second heroics. Definately not the UNC squad most of their fans are accustomed to seeing. The ACC as a whole leaves a little to be desired. I guess you could make a good case for Louisville and Duke, but they are even beatable.

That 8-20 team just didn't have talent. This team has talent, but has had so many injuries, young players, and close losses. I think they just expect to lose now when things get close. They get tight if they have a good lead and the other team starts to come back. The doubt starts to creep in their mind that it's going to happen again, and it does. They have lost their last 6 games by a total of 11 points. That's called cursed. They should be loaded next season, though, especially if Bacot stays. Anthony will most likely be gone, but I think he could stay another year, too. He makes some bad decisions sometimes, and tries to do too much by himself when the game gets close. If he stays, though, the Heels could be a dominate team next season.

College basketball as a whole is really down this year. All the early exits to the NBA have hurt the level of play. I'd rather they just let players go straight out of high school than to stay one year and leave.
 
Guess I can post this here. This is something I’ve been wondering about since it happened June 26, 2018. I found the pic I took. This was very scary. We had just moved in our new house. This was right across the road. The wind and hail was awful. There is a house to the left of this thing and it blew the back porch up over it and into the front yard. There is a house to the left of me (across the rd from this). A big shop/motor home garage with big metal doors. The doors were bent inward and they couldn’t be pulled back out because earth was pushed up to the bottom of them. That was strange I thought. Pine trees snapped off too. My house had no damage but it was a test to see how well it was built. Lol. I was terrified. Does anybody have any thoughts? I don’t think it was spinning but it was wild.

Looks like a microburst.
