Anyone know when/where the NWS will release tornado tracks?

http://www.erh.noaa.gov/er/rah/

it will be posted there...

i'd say the full write up will be later this week..i'm sure it will take a while to analyze all the damage, tracks, and write up all the details

You mean Emma Conn Elementary? I used to go there back in the day. Hope it fared ok.

Raleigh Blvd definitely had a tornado hit.

4/17/2011 12:17:16 PM

green for trees, blue for structural, yellow for non structural, red for powerlines
direction in parenthesis was the direction I was looking when I took the photo

4/17/2011 12:32:17 PM

pretty weird being downtown last night with entire blocks that had no power. seemed a little post-apocalyptic.

i participated for a while. i still get the emails

4/17/2011 1:20:09 PM

walgreens has glass windows that can withstand the force to push cars on its side??

4/17/2011 1:33:46 PM

if the pressure was equalized inside and outside the store (like if a door was open), then the windows wouldn't break unless something smashed into them

4/17/2011 1:36:55 PM

tornado that hit wilson

^Shit. I'm impressed at the balls (or lack of attention) of the drivers that kept driving in the direction of that tornado.

4/17/2011 2:07:27 PM

^^ holy shit

4/17/2011 2:12:04 PM

holy shit!

4/17/2011 2:22:29 PM

4/17/2011 2:28:11 PM

That wasn't very smart...

4/17/2011 2:28:36 PM

BUILT FORD TOUGH!

4/17/2011 2:29:57 PM

I LOVE YOU

Oh cool I'm not dead.

Jesus man, what prompted you to hold still?

4/17/2011 2:30:52 PM

balls. That or maybe he's just the stupidest guy on the planet.

4/17/2011 2:31:07 PM

I can't believe he just sat there all nonchalant as it whipped crap into his truck...my first impression is what an idiot.

4/17/2011 2:31:16 PM

lol @ commentary on this one

4/17/2011 2:33:34 PM

It's only picking up a few leaves... oh there goes a house.

4/17/2011 2:34:07 PM

^^ lol

^ yeah, i don't think he realized how strong it was until it was too close. "Hold on, I love you"

4/17/2011 2:38:46 PM

"it's not one of those...i would say devastation"

"There goes the roof"

4/17/2011 2:40:58 PM

EVERYBODY WHO SEE THE TORNADO SAY "YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAH!!!!"

4/17/2011 2:41:31 PM

this one is vivid w/ the funnel formation

4/17/2011 2:42:24 PM

"i'm ok. now i gotta problem with what i'm driving. it's....damaged"

4/17/2011 2:45:01 PM

That guy is my hero! Wow.

4/17/2011 2:45:40 PM

quality kinda blurry, but girl is like "lets stay in the car" and guy is like "that is not an option" lol

4/17/2011 2:49:11 PM

^^^that one, according to comments, is not from yesterday. it is from the one near zebulon last year

4/17/2011 2:49:31 PM

Tryon, near RGA and the Delta Sig house is pretty beat up

sucks for RGA too. they're closed. would have made a killing on a gorgeous Sunday

4/17/2011 2:49:35 PM

hahahahah background radio music

4/17/2011 2:50:39 PM

Haha reminds me of playing gta vice city

4/17/2011 3:00:50 PM

Man, these people are nuts. I was driving down 264 last year when they had that Tornado in Nash; that was some scary shit. I just put the hammer down and was gone while people were pulling over to take video and shit

4/17/2011 3:13:47 PM

isn't a car supposed to be one of the most unsafe places to be in a tornado?

4/17/2011 3:24:16 PM

Damn white people are crazy.

Notice the difference. White people get closer to the tornado, black people drive away from it...

4/17/2011 3:24:48 PM

what hints otherwise

4/17/2011 3:24:54 PM

"We're at cracker barrel and theres a turrnaduh"

lol rednecks

4/17/2011 3:25:43 PM

So I take it you all didn't get Fischeled ?

4/17/2011 3:32:58 PM

probably a good reason NOT to be in a car/truck

A look at VIPER Comms today. Note the Statewide Event Channels (Charlie 1, Bravo 1)
