Severe Line in Raleigh Durham...Power outages, trees down, signs down... moving 75 mph Forward Speed..



View from the PNC Building in Dowtown Raleigh...

It was really HOT before that line came through...




This line came in so fast you barely had time to grab the camera... to know which way to look.

Note these pictures were taken TWO minutes apart from almost the same spot!


The very first sign of a thunderhead was in the picture below... peaking over the top of the trees.


I walked down to the street to get a better view... less than 2 minutes..





The result...  50,000 people at least in the Raleigh area without power..

Glenwood Avenue closed at Woodland Avenue in Raleigh due to tree and powerlines down.


I spent the hours before the storm cleaning up around the house and resting out in the hammock. Interesting to get a few for the change by being away from the TV... lying in the hammock watching blue skies and then..........suddenly.............it changes.

Look at the dip in the atmosphere on the water vapor loop... tango dancer doing a dip DOWN...

Visible Water Vapor - GOES East 12 hr Loop

Then suddenly everything changed............
