4/11/20 - 4/13/20 Severe Weather Outbreak

Welp if there's gonna be a problem it's coming very soon per radar...maybe it's just because it's late/early but it looks like an area closer to me wants to hook...if I don't respond something probably happened to the power.
 
Just got woken up with the alert.for a tornado watch

Well dang if that isn't scary close.

Finally determined what went on. I'm guessing this confirmed tornado was a mere 10 miles away on radar presentation, if even that.

It's calming down incredibly fast now. But that was a shaky hour. Whew. My heart is now aching because I was shaking for a while from nervousness. Power actually went off for a moment and I went and sat in the hallway while it did and stayed through the worst sounds.
 
Shelters are now opening up for those in the mountains that were evacuated. No one will be turned around and virus regulations will not be followed due to overflow of people displaced from the historic flood event.
 
WRAL said the worst of the storms should be here between 7 and 10 this morning.

Follow the lightning maps once it passes your in the clear. Overall wind/tornado threat was extremely brief in duration when watching the lightning maps it’s 95% heavy rain afterwards.
