That Thomason tornado had to be F3+ just by looking at it on radar.

Hearing from relatives and locals that trees and power lines all over the road in parts of Fayetteville & Raeford. They’ve had to even shut down parts of highway 401

Just saw damage from Monck's Corner in Berkeley County of a house major damage on the news here. Supercell also produced damage in Horry County in Myrtle Beach... Same cell that started in Estill SC traversed the lower part of SC finally exited off the coast.

Getting my strongest winds now as the skies lift and clear. Gusting low 40s I guess. Was a big nothingburger for mby but a lot of places got hammered
7.38” rain in Watauga triggered the PDS Flash Flood Emergency.
3.18” Mount Airy
Everything falling apart as it moves towards Elizabeth City. Doesn’t look like it’s going to be a big deal. From radar returns I’m guessing we won’t have thunderstorms as this line moves through.
Yep. No lightning within 30 miles of me. Falling apart as it moves East. Lucky us.

1.5 million outages in the US. NC is #1 and increasing as coastal communities are under the gun.

no power and something crazy was going on right behind the storms. Low clouds racing SE to NW winds ripping trees down neighbors privacy fence blown down and just screaming winds.
South Charlotte. Backyard. Fell away from our house... Hope all are safe.

Make sure yall report any damage (like downed trees, structural damage to houses, etc) to your local NWS office, we really need those local storm reports to make our future forecasts better!
Doesn’t make forecasts better if short range models continue to be off up to 4 hours just prior to the event.

Good forecasters know that convective allowing models should be only used as general guidance leading up to an event, not a forecast.

Can you explain wtf just happened to my local area. Either side of me there's not a lot of wind reports going on But MBY has been getting beat down for the last hour. Im a few miles SSW of PGV they are sustained 40 gusting to 55. The LLJ or some kind of reverse outflow(please don't laugh at me) was screaming from the SE moving NW and the wind was just ripping.

Evaporatively cooled air in the wake of the storms to your east & south with strong southerly flow out ahead of an approaching front, coinciding with saturated soils from the immediately preceding heavy rainfall probably has a lot to do w/ it
