7/24/2012 3:50:49 PM

The water rushing into the storm drain at work looks like white water rapids.

7/24/2012 3:52:17 PM

it's been pretty wild off of Trailwood

a solid 15 minutes of sustained heavy winds and rain

7/24/2012 4:00:51 PM

7/24/2012 4:01:18 PM

7/24/2012 4:02:06 PM

Sirens in Laurel Hills, some shit got hit with lightning a second ago, shook the house.

7/24/2012 4:05:01 PM

A tree in the beltline near glenwood, cop on the radio said somebody got lucky, no cars got hit.

[Edited on July 24, 2012 at 4:06 PM. Reason : power]

7/24/2012 4:06:07 PM

Wife just called and said no power for the last 30min. We live at the end of Ridge Rd.

The world is going to end!

7/24/2012 4:27:35 PM

Like the Beckanna end or the Wade Avenue end?

ugh I will need to run home if the power is really out

7/24/2012 4:32:42 PM

I live in the neighborhood behind Beckanna.

She said it was still out just a minute ago.

7/24/2012 4:40:24 PM

damn no power sucks...I hope my dog is chill

7/24/2012 4:41:54 PM

7/24/2012 4:43:23 PM

7/24/2012 4:45:31 PM

7/24/2012 4:48:25 PM

AND apparently the bar exam takers lost power today. 1100 pissed off future attorneys.

7/24/2012 4:54:18 PM

d'oh! you know that messed with someone's mental prep for the day too. yikes...

7/24/2012 4:57:38 PM

Apparently the laptop takers could still work by the light on their screens, but handwriters (all grouped in the same section) were in pitch black.

7/24/2012 4:59:14 PM

we've lost 2 trees in my neighborhood near my house. it looks like the power flickered enough to reset the clock on the stove. it's quiet now - it was crazy earlier when i was in cross roads.

anyone know when the next band of storms are supposed to hit?

7/24/2012 5:37:48 PM

^^Handwriter checking in. Pretty dark, but it wasn't totally unworkable. They gave extra time equal to the outage anyways.

7/24/2012 5:46:11 PM

Tree blocking a lane on Lineberry near Melrose

7/24/2012 5:57:09 PM

^^That's good. Glad it worked out

7/24/2012 6:04:09 PM

Took me an hour to get from American Tobacco in Durham to Glenwood/440 in Raleigh

omg I'm frustrated

but puppy is good and power is back on

7/24/2012 6:07:38 PM

Shit was bad in CH/Carrboro. We just got power back at midnight, and it went off about 3:30. Shitload of trees down here. Power went out on parts of campus, and a couple trees went down in the road there. I did get a couple of pics from UNC up on WRAL though, so that was kinda cool. Have not seen this many trees down since a hurricane though.

7/28/2012 8:51:42 PM

is there some kinda special storm where the lightning is as constant as this?

7/28/2012 8:52:14 PM

^was just coming to post that, kinda freaky

7/28/2012 8:57:07 PM

Got all the lights in the house off laying in bed it's pretty sweet. Wonder if my girlfriend is gonna make it home from target before it hits...

7/28/2012 9:15:48 PM

Power just went out here at lake Johnson

7/28/2012 9:35:02 PM

had a flicker near crossroads cary

7/28/2012 9:35:31 PM

as I was writing a post about the crazy storm the power went out (on Athens a block from Kaplan). Across the culdasac our neighbors have power... wtf.

7/28/2012 9:44:04 PM

Is there a way to find an outage map and schedule to restore power?

7/28/2012 10:11:52 PM

I think Progress has one on their site.
