Okay, I live in the Derita/Croft area about five to ten minutes north of Uptown, from what it seems I think the tornado passed to west of me.

this looks like the same storm i was under, from brad p.
Moved it for ya and yeah that line is legit insane
Wow that was a wild couple hours ... we had two bands of very intense rain and wind and sirens from UNCC campus were blaring for an hour or so .. very ominous and very exciting .. that was the most severe weather I’ve experienced since all of last year combined

Enhanced spin closer to the triple point?
I can tell you here well out ahead of the squall line, the winds here are screaming from the SSW with gusts close to 50 at times.

I can tell you I've been watching the area in South GA all day as I thought some discreet action may be possible and although there was one storm that looked like it wanted to try to rotate that was out in front (and it got severe warned shortly after I said it was suspicious), I'm not seeing anything, at least on normal radar. Those storms look strong but it kinda looks like they're consolidating to me.
When you realize there’s been tornadoes around CLT today, and SBCAPE has stayed at 100jkg or below, there’s been MUcape but that argues for elevated convection, this could be argued as a classic HSLC event
Could be. I mean, I am glad don't get me wrong, just a little surprised. We have over 1000 cape and obviously the winds. Could be the lack of lapse rates?

Apparently police officers are directing traffic near this area due to lots of parents trying to pick up their children from the schools in the area.

Not sure. Any insolation down here or just muddled layers of cloud cover? We've had occasionally some breaks in the clouds and during that time, winds became ferocious with more mixing.

That line coming through the Triangle looks wicked.

Getting some sun through high clouds and a few legit breaks.....wind getting gustier as well especially with the increased sun...temp went from 63 to 77 lol.....wont impact us as much probably though since the timing for us is several hrs after dark for the main squall line....
Here was some of the strong winds after that rotation came through, video doesn’t do its justice

Guess this is actually Brad's P backyard?
The dam below my house is compromised. I’ve only seen it like this once in my 31 years..and it damn sure wasn’t in February
His old house....
