Update on Tornadoes & Damages from Remnants of Isaias In North Carolina.. Tornado Warnings in My Neighborhood in Raleigh Today.
strong winds, tornadoes
landslides and flooding
North Carolina today.
And update tonight.
10:30
It's been a day. Really. The sky was dark, if we had no electricity as in the days of old the house would have been dark as night. The sky covered over early in the day, cloaked in a thick layer of clouds that you can see in the photo below with the remnants of Isaias all wound up in a tight ball still even though the core with it's winds disappated the waether went on and on and on.
Here's a list with my comment sbelow from Google AI. I have family here in town still, no time to really research them all but wanted to list them and then I can come back to them and review the information. And know they are still collecting info on damages as people report damages.
From Google AI
"Yes, at least 5 tornadoes have been confirmed in Central North Carolina, with multiple other confirmed touchdowns and active tracking occurring across Eastern North Carolina. The severe weather stemmed from a fast-moving line of storms associated with the remnants of Isaias. [1, 2, 3]
The National Weather Service (NWS) and regional dispatch centers have verified the following specific tornado touchdowns and tracked paths:
Confirmed Central NC Touchdowns (EF-1 Storms)
The NWS Raleigh confirmed four EF-1 tornadoes in Central NC: [1]
Pittsboro (Chatham County): Touched down around 12:05 p.m. along Moncure Pittsboro Road (roughly 9 miles east of Pittsboro) with peak winds of 100 mph.
Snow Camp (Alamance County): Touched down near Mount Hermon Rock Creek Road with max winds of 105 mph. [1, 2, 3]
Other Major Tornado Sightings & Reports
Fayetteville (Cumberland County): A confirmed tornado swept through northwest Fayetteville right around 12:00 p.m. (noon). It tracked heavily across the Skibo Road commercial area, causing significant structural damage to a Sam's Club and an adjacent Walmart.
Northeast Raleigh (Wake County): High winds and an intense "spin-up" rotation were caught on camera between noon and 1:30 p.m., causing structural damage and downing trees onto homes along Amber Bluffs Crescent.
Fort Barnwell / Kinston (Eastern NC): An observed, confirmed tornado was tracked by radar at 3:12 p.m. moving northeast at 35 mph near Fort Barnwell, about 12 miles east of Kinston.
Wallace / Chinquapin (Duplin County): A tornado-producing storm moved near Chinquapin at 2:02 p.m.. Significant damage was reported along U.S. 117 North near Teachey Road.
Montgomery County: An early-morning tornado warning was issued around 10:30 a.m. as the initial line of severe storms entered Central NC.
The National Weather Service is continuing to survey storm tracks. I can set up a task to monitor for updated NWS damage assessments and final EF-scale ratings if you would like to be kept informed."
My thoughts ....well the one that touched down in Northeast Raleigh was near me, or raced over me on it's way not so far away to where there was "rotation" spotted and damges occured.
The one at Raleigh Exectutive Jetport had 90 MPH winds.
The one in Pittsbors had 100 MPH winds.
I'm in Pittsboro often so paid close attention.
My point tonight is that Isaias definitely impacted North Carolina even though it was just her remnant, leftovers and packed quite a punch. Tremendous tree damage in some parts, siding and supposedly part of a roof at a Marriot in NC was destroyed. Not sure on the details in that as again I had relatives in town. Good times. One day at the right time I'll talk on that. But we hunkered down inside during the Tonada Warnings in my immediate. Okay I was out on the balcony observing the torrential rain and extremely loud and long rolling thunder along with some cracks of thunder that definitely caught our attention. No hail No real rotation though there was a sense of rotation ...the kind I see when its on it's way somewhere else.
Then we went to the Farmers Market where I got some incredible photos of the sky as the storm waived goodbye.
Not much sleep this past week. Awesome having kids home, playing with their Goldendoodle (she's so cute) and just living life, enjoying.
As for Isaias............ what does it take for a name to be retired? Well, in general I know but it has to be agreed upon. 2020 Isaias slammed into Ocean Isle Beach NC and raced across Raleigh intact with one of the hugest, longest wall clouds I'd seen in a long while. Below is a picture that tells the tale, as a picture is better sometimes than a thousand words.
Isaias came up that year from the beach.
This year Isaias hit us from the backside.
Near Fayetteville where damage was tough...
there's the Marriot pic that was on WRAL
After the Storm....
We went to the Farmer's Market.
Some dark clouds about but mostly sunny skies
And very tropical.
Not just warm but humid.
And then the clouds left....
..dramatically as we drove back home.
No filter.
Surreal.
Real.
Raleigh.
We had Isaias leftovers again.
Wild, really.
Kids leaving tomorrow.
I'm tired.
Will jump on top of things tomorrow.
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow.
Sounds like a song cul.
New yellow circle?
Maybe.
Will see.
One foot in summer.
One in Fall
Dreaming on Winter
Heard this song today ...
...for the first time in a long while.
Remembered how much I loved it.
Danced, smiles....
whenever, wherever...
Sweet Tropical Dreams, Bobbistorm.
Keep on reading if you did not.
from this morning...
10 AM
It's always a disconnect.
NHC pulls the plug as the center is dead....
...and yet the severe weather keeps pounding!
The worst of it has passed by...
On under the dark oranges in mid NC
Short blog I have family commitments today with family in and places to go as the rain, severe weather and Tornado Warning is over in our area.
Re: Isaias the damages seen are strong and it's a blessing that it did not linger long and was moving fast at landfall. Less flooding that way. Still damages at the coast are immense and power outages always a pain. It's a time to access the damages, do what you can and do the best you can. Some people got lucky and others not so lucky. Incredible coverage by chasers and now the hard work of rebuilding begins.
In the Triangle in Raleigh, have place stop go after the tornado warmed storms have moved on ...
Will update tonight. Was wild to stand out there feeling the rain, watching the wind in Raleigh and know that some of the DNA of Isaias again reached Raleigh. Displaced remnants, go figure but still a wild few minutes in the tornado warned storm in my immediate area.
Gotta go....
Back later
Oh and there's a new area in the Atlantic!
Be back later...BobbiStorm
