I know that the south east was really wrecked through out the day today at 2:40 I had a rain wrapped tornado cross 1/4 miles in front of my truck today and then went on in the next 2 minutes to completely destroy a Lowes Home store 1 mile from where I was working until 2:30-

But the storms went on to mess up Raleigh and the surrounding areas where Losixxxman, Thunderstrike and 1 other member here live- I hope all is well-

Re: North Carolina tornadoes
Glad you're ok. Hope everyone else is. We have a pretty good threat around here quite often. About 6 years ago there was a really serious one that killed quite a few people and did multi-millions in damage. I remember the night it happened I didn't take it very seriously because you get so many warnings here, but watching the news the next day and seeing the line of the tornado just a couple miles south of my house was very creepy. I worked in a grocery store thru college and I was working when it got hit by a weak one. It tore one of the bay doors away as I was about 30 feet from it. We keep a weather radio on all the time now and a make-shift shelter in an inner hallway closet. Having a kid made me get much more serious about them.
