South clt update. Multiple trees down in my neighborhood across roads. No power. Just had a wind gust on weather station of 53mph.

I’m in SW Charlotte and amazed my power is still on. It did blink once but so far so good. Wind has had me up since around 5 am. It seems to come in waves and when it does I hear several limbs hitting my roof from the huge red oak in my front yard (not a pleasant feeling).

Seems to be a bit of a lull at the moment but it looks like Charlotte may catch the eastern edge of the old eye wall. Seeing some 50-60 mph gusts down toward Chester which is a little concerning.
 
starting to get a little breezy in ATL metro on the backside but nothing crazy. My sister lives in Charlotte and they are getting hit pretty hard. Her BF is a cop and just had to rescue a woman who had a tree fall into her house.
 
Now that it is daylight and I can see, my neighbors 3 doors down have a tree on their house. No one hurt but house damaged. Next door neighbor has a big tree down. Lots of big branches and limbs down in our cul de sac. Debris everywhere. No power since 4:30ish. These were just high winds. Not tornados.

Still very windy, but calming down from an hour ago. Gust are still strong

WRAL in house model showing 40-50 mph gust across central NC, mostly with that squall line later but they stated this is due to center being further east than anticipated. Are we the only one's that looked at the globals and saw this coming? Lol
 
The eyewall is no joke. I made it the entire storm with power and as soon as we were on the last leg the power goes out about 15-20 minutes ago. The wind is blaring right now and. It’s been raining for about 36 hours straight at least but for the last 6 hours we have been getting hit with constant bands even before the eye wall got here

For those in eastern SC, central NC and eastern NC this will be our story in this. Thisis the band that brings us our tornado threat View attachment 152151

Take this band seriously. Woke me straight up around 530am. One of those cells produced a mesovortex spin in which the winds were easily gusting to hurricane force. Extremely wild watching the intense blinding rain spin around in front of the large parking lights. Hadn't been that nervous since Dorian

So I guess this is literally the calm before the storm here.
