so what do outside animals do, like wild/feral dogs? just go apeshit until it's over? have heartaches? permanent mental issues?

cant imagine glenwood at the beltline right now

5/9/2008 5:39:33 AM

probably clear... i'm like 2 blocks from there and it's been just barely raining for the past 10-15 minutes. in fact, it's sucked in general as usual except for a couple thunders.

how in the hell are we still in a drought? i think these average numbers are overinflated or the rainfall isn't being recored accurately. that's my big conspiracy theory for this month.

[Edited on May 9, 2008 at 5:51 AM. Reason : okay, so maybe more like 0.5 mile from glenwood/440 but still...]

5/9/2008 5:50:15 AM

Looks like west raleigh and the cary area may get ravaged by some hail producing storms soon. Keep an eye out in and around NCSU. Looks like I'll miss it here in N. Raleigh

5/10/2008 12:30:11 AM

It is hail...it has higher reflectivity on the radar.

5/10/2008 12:32:28 AM

the hail passed through carrboro 15-20 min ago. a few golf ball sized chunks on my patio

5/10/2008 12:33:47 AM

check my profile major, i know this

possible 3 inch sized hail in a cell ENE of fayetteville

5/10/2008 12:34:20 AM

In Morrisville/Cary, just got nailed with some hail, The pieces I saw were M and M sized. Brutal storm though

5/10/2008 12:36:09 AM

5/10/2008 12:36:49 AM

that storm now E of fayetnam heading for richlands and jacksonville is looking pretty devastating

5/10/2008 12:37:08 AM

5/10/2008 12:38:45 AM

5/10/2008 12:39:32 AM

5/10/2008 12:39:58 AM

I've never actually seen the black show up on the radar

Woops didn't realize it...just more of a hobby of mine actually. As long as no one calls it sleet...I'll be happy.

5/10/2008 12:43:57 AM

I just had fairly heavy hail fall out in West Cary for about three to five minutes. I looked outside and it looks like someone dumped bags of ice at all my downspouts.

5/10/2008 12:44:00 AM

damn, that block spot in the corner of the beltline is about where my place is, DONT RUIN ME HAIL!!

[Edited on May 10, 2008 at 12:45 AM. Reason : granted i am not there right now]


these storms are moving hella fast

I was just sitting outside in a hot tub and then it looked like daylight outside for two seconds.

5/10/2008 12:48:31 AM

daylight for 2 seconds off kaplan

5/10/2008 12:53:15 AM

damn this shit moved out fast

5/10/2008 12:53:35 AM

Awww hail it's coming my way...

5/10/2008 12:55:17 AM

Honestly that was the storm equivalent of a drive-by shooting.

5/10/2008 12:57:48 AM

You guys come talk to me when you have a tornado less than 1/4mile from you.

5/10/2008 1:14:54 AM

I'd have to check the mileage, but on September 19th 07 there was a tornado VERY near to where I live

5/10/2008 1:16:09 AM

I had a tornado go over my house in 1995.

5/10/2008 1:18:35 AM

^^^there was a tornado about 200 yards from our house when i was like 10 or so

[Edited on May 10, 2008 at 1:19 AM. Reason : .]

5/10/2008 1:19:01 AM

Pretty much all the SKYWARN reports I heard for this storm were that the hail was dime size or smaller. I gave a report for the pea sized hail I had at my place in Cary.


F3 tornado ate my garage and most of town back in 1998.

i just saw some tornado vortex signature on the radar im looking at down here by new bern...but i doubt it was actually a tornado.

That, I can't top.

But one of the few things that makes me wish I could go back in time was my summer in the Ozarks with my grandmother, in 97. Looking back, excellent storm photos would have been so easy to get!

I remember going out one evening, as usual, to watch the storms, and realizing that holy shit there's a funnel cloud descending over the cow pasture! (Laterally, a couple hundred yards from where I was standing)

God almighty, that was awesome.


...This was also the same summer where one of my main forms of entertainment was popping tar bubbles on the road, and sucking on as many honeysuckle blossoms as I could find, and trying to pet the goats I'd sometimes find.

5/10/2008 1:22:13 AM

Just a few minutes ago.

5/10/2008 1:40:40 AM

post ur location f00l

5/10/2008 1:57:16 AM

The N. Raleigh Tornado came within a mile of my house back in November 1988. That shit was an F4. I wonder if it came through...the fact that our house is in a lower lying area could have protected us from getting more severe damage compared to a site higher in elevation?

5/10/2008 2:11:51 AM

F3 tornado went down my street in clemmons.

Left the Colonial Heights Wal-Mart about 30 minutes before a tornado ripped through it back in 1993, was spending a week with my cousins up in Chester. Never actually saw the tornado though, which sucks.

5/10/2008 10:00:35 AM

Are we going to get something big within the next day or so?

5/11/2008 12:00:52 AM

avast, florida be lookin like a fine destination to dock me ship at the moment

5/11/2008 12:03:39 AM

Hell yeah, waiting for it in Knoxville.

Least I got someone to keep me safe when it does hit.

5/11/2008 12:04:50 AM

Mother nature is fucking pissed off over here in northern Alabama.

5/11/2008 12:16:06 AM

Ouch that's making a b-line for Atlanta. We should have some interesting weather out here tomorrow though. Looking forward to it...as long as it is not too bad.

5/11/2008 3:13:33 AM

i wish we had global warming again

5/11/2008 3:15:30 AM

^don't worry. Liberals will make up something fun again soon. Global cooling, global warming.. who knows what's next.

5/11/2008 3:19:10 AM

lol hannity is pushing global cooling now

5/11/2008 3:20:32 AM

I saw something on fox news tonight about how al gore and his global warming phase is part of the cause for our food shortage. Didn't pay it much attention though. Kind of wish I had.

5/11/2008 3:21:34 AM

dude, global cooling is, like, totally in

5/11/2008 3:36:00 AM
