It was pretty tight for a few frames, probably legit OTG for a mile or two based on CC drop

CC drop was pretty clear, probably weak small fast moving tornado, maybe off and on the ground 4-6 mins based on radar....its also getting ready to do it again....

Looked pretty good just NE of Castalia for a frame, better hope it is not cycling, rotation should go between Halifax and Weldon....or pretty darn close to you.....
I'll be on the front porch
Weakening considerably
Well that was a nothing burger, headed to the gym.

This cell could be the one, best looking storm all day structure wise
I think the storm figured out that you were a Moderator here & weakened the Mesocyclone to avoid being banned by you. ?
Will be interesting to see if a survey is done to confirm if tornado was on ground at 540/40 near RDU.
Also heard of possible funnel cloud spotted at Boyce Mill Rd near Wake/Durham line from a different cell around the same time. That one wasn't a trained spotter though, so take with a grain of salt. (not ruling it out either)

Confirmed tornadoes so far for central Alabama 
EF-1 for the wake system 
I was surprised we actually had action here yesterday since we didn't have any sun ahead of time. The tornado hit close to where my office used to be. I was worried when they had Wake Forest in the warning, and my kids were at home with my mom.
EF1 confirmed for a 1/4 mile.
EF2 also reported in Anson county.
