I wonder if the storm chasers team is on this? There's not much else going on right now anywhere else.

4/16/2011 3:32:08 PM

Sounds like Holly Springs is about to get fucked.

4/16/2011 3:32:10 PM

Almost continuous lightning

Wind has eeriely died down

4/16/2011 3:34:30 PM

4/16/2011 3:35:09 PM

Storm is picking up around my house. More thunder and lightening. Waiting for it to get real bad.

4/16/2011 3:37:04 PM

They're calling for a tornado outbreak in South West Raleigh.

We're getting rocked.

People are leaving our complex.

We kinda nervous.

4/16/2011 3:39:12 PM

Dangerous tornado on the ground in Holly Springs.

4/16/2011 3:39:49 PM

probably not a good idea to be going outside right now

4/16/2011 3:41:25 PM

so was that the siren I heard not too long ago?


maybe I should turn on the weather channel

4/16/2011 3:42:20 PM

Swift creek vfd has been called out

4/16/2011 3:43:39 PM

you know, if it weren't for the internet, I would consider this like any other thunderstorm- haven't seen anything out of the ordinary here (wade/oberlin)

4/16/2011 3:44:18 PM

small hail in off walnut street!

4/16/2011 3:44:21 PM

anyone in raleigh needs to be in your basement or an interior bathroom or closet on the lowest floor...like, now.

4/16/2011 3:44:58 PM

just outside my hood.

[Edited on April 16, 2011 at 3:46 PM. Reason : woah, what happened to the TWW auto resize? ]

4/16/2011 3:45:39 PM

if i hear sirens and/or we lose power, I'll move downstairs

4/16/2011 3:45:54 PM

Campus take cover, headed right for ya

4/16/2011 3:46:33 PM

glad i'm not in raleigh right now

4/16/2011 3:46:41 PM

These storms are moving incredibly fast, I really wouldn't wait. From damage reports, this is a large tornado

4/16/2011 3:46:55 PM

Tornado touched down in sanford

4/16/2011 3:48:04 PM

4 miles sw of raleigh large tornado

4/16/2011 3:48:43 PM

It's super dark here and eerily calm. I'm actually kind of worried. All these prep tornado drills I had to do when I lived in Texas are coming back to me now.

Can someone keep me in the loop as to what is going on. We lost power and are in south Raleigh - tryon and Avent Ferry. We're downstairs and have an action plan of taking cover if need be. Any heads up would be awesome though and much appreciated.

4/16/2011 3:49:19 PM

take cover NOW. if you have a basement, get in it. start your plan of action now.

4/16/2011 3:50:03 PM

west of campus take cover now. its going up 440

4/16/2011 3:50:38 PM

honestly if you are in raleigh or surrouding areas you should be in emergency mode right now. This is a large tornado moving fastly, waiting for sirens may mean you've waited too long.

4/16/2011 3:51:36 PM

I'd cover, thing is moving at 70 MPH

4/16/2011 3:51:54 PM

shit on wral you can see this tornado coming to downtown

4/16/2011 3:51:55 PM
