on the ground now
very jaw dropping on the radar
Is there a Durham Street or are you talking about Durham itself?
The cell went well east of Durham.
Ham radio Skywarn report—US 401 and Maywood, “massive destruction,” buildings destroyed, powerlines down.
That’s amazing.
Oh, sounds real bad, prayers for everybody in this area.
It’s unbelievable that there are a half-dozen deleted posts on this thread. What is the matter with some people..?
Wow, that’s bad...that means it went right through central Raleigh, maybe downtown proper.
Bert, if they’re in Durham, they weren’t in the path of the tornado. I’m in southwest Durham (near South Square if you know the area) and the tornado passed 15-20 miles south of here. It touched down near Sanford where it caused significant damage, came through Holly Springs, then apparently just south of downtown Raleigh and exited out toward Rolesville/Wake Forest.
There is a second tornado that may be even stronger down around the Benson/Dunn/Smithfield area.

The last couple days, it has been one nasty long band of violent weather moving across the south and now headed into the east

Wow.. crunch.
Oh No, that’s me
Take shelter, be safe!
Oh man. That place has been there forever
wral announcer saying storm cells may be decreasing in intensities a bit so hopefully by time they get there, it’s not a barn tosser.
Hang in there!
Is that in Sanford or is it the one on 401 and 70 between Raleigh and Garner?
all our Lowe’s here are new,, built to seismic standards .. but still subject to tornados regardless.
