Wind is picking up and getting dark here. Maybe there's a good storm incoming.

That was one for the worst storms I've seen in a long time. Power out now too. Scanner going crazy with trees down.

Seems like they got the level 2 risk right today.

Got a special weather statement for the small cell that formed north or Raleigh. Looks like that is moving north and the big cell in Durham is moving east.

 

[Brick Tamland]

And just got an alert for a severe storm warning for winds over 80 mph.

I think we must’ve missed the worst of the wind on the north side, thankfully. I heard it was blowing close to 80MPH in areas though.

 

[Brick Tamland]

Definitely incoming here
