Tropical Hurricane Idalia

We've had a soft gentle rain since around 11am this morning.

I'm well past getting a local weather station to monitor my own conditions. Looking at both the Ambient Weather WS-1965 and WS-2092. I like the ground moisture sensing capability of the WS-1965.

The eye went to the south side of Valdosta and the NW rain shield is in Atlanta. Guess there's a 1st for everything. If the eye had gone through Macon we'd probably be seeing rain all the way to Chattanooga.

I'm south of Atlanta right now and no rain, at all from Idalia. If you see it on radar, it's virga.
 
That video from Moncks Corner on TWC was crazy! Think a tornado flipped a car into another car in front of the guy videoing!
 
Even though the radar didn't have any returns, it's been raining since Noon. Now it's a very solid steady rain for the last hour. Definitely think 1-2" is likely here.

Was Goose Creek, my mistake! Still amazing video
 
Yesterday, I had to fly back to Fort Lauderdale Airport from Charlotte, NC at 5PM. We almost didn't make it. We were sitting on the tarmac at the gate until 7:30PM cause of thunderstorm, and the pilot told us that airports from Tampa to West Palm Beach were shutting down. We lucked out! My construction crew in Spartanburg, SC is reporting heavy thunderstorms. The Savannah crew is reporting a lot of wind and no power. A lot of the Florida Peninsula was spared a much stronger storm due to the Westward track. Another 50 miles to the East, and SE Florida would have contended with Tropical Storm conditions.

Goose Creek on Camelot Dr near US52 (S. Goose Creek Blvd) near Stokes Mitsubishi dealership.. That happened about a mile from where I reside. Now I know why I heard all the sirens earlier. Reported by Emergency Manager at 1226pm this afternoon.(first heavy band that came thru the area)

That right there shows the scariest thing about a tornado in a tropical system. You often don’t see it until it’s right on top of you because the rain is so heavy

Yeah, it was a brief weak spin up tornado strong enough to flip that vehicle like a kids toy.

Some nasty cells offshore. Suspect we will see a few tornados as the evening progresses as these lines come into the grand strand and cape fear region

The scariest part about it is that warnings aren't fast enough, and an innumerable amount of cells with tornadic potential. When we received a tornado from Ian last year, I gave my family a 15 minute warning before the tornado hit, and then about five minutes later our fifth Tornado Warning was blasted on our phones. It was insane. Couldn't tell which way it was coming towards us, because the winds were changing direction so fast.
 
I work 3rd shift this week so I will be up all night, so I have been asleep since 11ish this morning, I expected the NAM to have come back to Earth while I slept but seems it went the other way....still think anything over 50 would be pretty remarkable, but the NAM also keeps this up for a solid 5-6 hrs so even regular gust to 50 for that long would be a issue power wise. Around here it usually takes more than 50ish mph winds to even think of seeing trees falling but big limbs will come down for sure

Yeah, looks like the ones around here are starting to close. Wake will be last like always. Everything is supposed to be clearing out tomorrow morning, though. I guess they don't want to have to worry about any roads being flooded in the morning.
 
Same area as the tornado a few minutes ago
