That storm is producing half dollar size hail
No. When thunder roars please go indoors. Do you know all the dangers of lightning esp near bodies of water??
I’m at Kiawah for the week. It’s amazing how the immediate coast is spared from these types of storms. Really interested in these waterspouts though

Storm trajectory and marine influence usually plays a part in that. I was completely caught off guard this was occurring until m stepbrother said something.
This obviously had the shear, quite evident in the westerly low level cloud movement but that warm front really triggered cyclonegenesis of this cell. Unusual for here
If I get footage of a waterspout can I get my get my Mod badge? ??

Why not. SC is apparently the new Oklahoma for tornados. What a crazy year for you guys.

Exactly. Never saw this coming even though I was watching the shear when I woke up. Absolutely nuts.
Starting to get some decent returns between clinton and Wilmington...here we go?
Still gusty. If the rain ever makes it north of Charlotte I can see some power outages tonight for places like Iredell, Yadkin, Surry and Forsyth. NWS said the cold air is destroying convection but haven’t mentioned if the wind is also playing a role in reducing rain coverage.
MCV time, honestly this is a good setup for a MCV to make it under that decaying ULL 
Looks like the main severe storm is going to miss me in Mnt Pleasant
Can we drizzle our way to 2" of rain the next 24-36 hours....I assume we are hoping that band in SC works its way in here.

Legit heavy downpour in Raleigh right now while under 10-15 dbz radar returns.
Looks like it's set in now. Fetch of moisture off of the Atlantic developing into a band of rain, pointed this way. Solid rain rates now under a big layer of nimbostratus.

Pea size hail here in mnt Pleasant
Monsoon atm
