Thread bump.
I think it will peter out before it gets to Fayetteville, NC.
THE WORLD IS GOING TO END RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!
BLOODY HELL
Stay safe out there, FReepers.

Here in N. AL near the TN state line, our schools closed at 1:00 due to these storms. A lot of rain and wind but luckily nothing worse. I’d rather the school officials exercise caution rather than risk an extra hour or two of classroom instruction in case of dangerous weather. This happens here at least 2-3 times a year and is a real zoo picking up the kids from school those days.
Upper part of Cherokee County here, 1/4 mile from N.C. Two funnel clouds have been reported in Forest City, a few miles up the road. Winds right now about 20 mph. Stay safe.
Here in Dacula,GA. Went to the store and bought milk, eggs and beer. Don’t know what to do with the milk and eggs.
Buy ice cream too and vanilla, make milkshakes.
you are suppose to get milk, bread and beer. oh, wait, that’s for snow flurries...not sure on tornado weather, maybe just the beer..but I already have some of that.
I am so confused, I am going back to the store to get more beer (and a couple of lottery tickets).
We got leaves and rain water, what else do I need?
A tornado hit the north end of the Chickamauga Dam in Chattanooga triggering a large accident among northbound cars coming off the bridge. I’ve got a brother who lives there one mile away and he got a good look at the storm.
Love it!!!!
Bump!
Radar looks like the worse in your area is gone..stay safe...it appears that the Smoky Mts are splitting the storm in half..we have some real nasty cells coming up I-85 heading my way. It looks like the western half of the storm is really lighting up I-40 and I-75 near Knoxville clear down to near Rome Ga.
ToTo is sleeping in my bed tonight!
