Shit is imminent/eminent.

4/28/2011 2:55:15 AM

That looks more like its going to get here in the morning than the afternoon.

4/28/2011 3:15:53 AM

4/28/2011 3:27:01 AM

4/28/2011 3:32:44 AM

4/28/2011 5:44:48 AM

over 173 dead...rising

4/28/2011 7:17:04 AM

Maybe the power will be shut off and I won't be able to work today and so they will just send us all home.

4/28/2011 7:25:57 AM

still can't believe this happened... stay safe people <3

4/28/2011 7:28:58 AM

Here is the probability for tornados today

4/28/2011 7:29:02 AM

meh, we're gonna get rained on, but that's about it... east of here will get a good show though

4/28/2011 7:52:18 AM

the wind is picking up in south durham.

Kiwi i'm glad you're okay.

4/28/2011 8:10:19 AM

yeah it was pretty windy on the way into work in Morrisville

4/28/2011 8:21:28 AM

this picture....... there are no words

the caption was the tornado was behind the Highland Hotel (that big red building... the tan one with the steeple is my church)





........... my apartment is on the other side of those two buildings

4/28/2011 8:27:46 AM

i'm ready for this storm to move through - our AC is broken in the building and my sweat proof cup is sweating. FML.

4/28/2011 8:27:59 AM

jesus christ, another night of me sleeping through all of this. i heard some thunder in charlotte, but it wasn't too bad.

glad everyone on here is safe, even the snake

fml, scariest night in storms I've ever experienced. Finally came down from adrenaline rush at 2:30am only to be awakened by sirens at 7:30a, fml lol

We are going to survey some damage here soon, making claims on our cars right now. Our plants are FUCKED and we have leaves on the side of the house on the second story! Also, some screens are torn the fuck up from the hail.

I don't want to go through another night of that ever again, daytime? Fine. Nighttime where it's pitch black and all you can hear is shit getting fucked up? NO THX

Hope everyone is okay!!

4/28/2011 8:39:59 AM

metro Bham has the highest death toll right now ambulance sirens are still going off constantly

4/28/2011 8:40:28 AM

how badly damaged are your cars? i would imagine with baseball sized hail they're probably all

i'm seriously glad you're okay. scary stuff. and i agree - i rather go through this during the day than at night.

i had a hard time sleeping because i was worried the storm was going to come rolling through any second. to the point that i had a dream about tornadoes (let me preface i have reoccurring dreams about tornadoes a lot but not recently). i ended up waking up to a panic attack

4/28/2011 8:42:40 AM

Glad you're okay samwise, smart move taking cover when you did.

Yeah, my car took the brunt, it is all No visible broken glass yet that I can see but it was storming last night and dark, gonna go check in a sec to see if there are any cracks, I will be surprised if not because the hail indentations are huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge.


It's weird how my neighborhood is alright but the next one over looks like a war zone (on tv anyways).

It was hard to sleep but I was so worn out, didn't sleep well worried about more weather but the news guys said the worst was over. Just glad we got power back before going to bed lol

That's why I hate when hurricanes roll through at night...during the day you can at least keep up with what's going on outside...especially if the power is out...but at night you're just SOL

4/28/2011 8:44:28 AM

any nightmares i have either consist of snakes or tornadoes, as well

4/28/2011 8:45:19 AM

meh, hurricanes never really bother me. It's always the isolated chance of a damn tornado. Unless you're underground you're not really all that safe.

4/28/2011 8:45:44 AM

I work in the BB&T building and last week we had leaves stuck to the windows of the gym on the 23rd floor

tornadoes, tsunamis, and snakes (snakes are the new within the last year)

4/28/2011 8:49:07 AM

Yeeeeeeeeah that's some serious wind. Thank God we have a basement, our loft didn't and I would have freaked! the bf is already talking about building a storm room in the basement with essentials. Might not be a bad idea with the apocalypse coming.

4/28/2011 8:50:32 AM

So if a skyscraper is built to withstand hurricanes is it also going to stand up to a tornado?

4/28/2011 8:51:05 AM

i don't think so... Eric just sent me pictures of a cellphone tower his employer works on in Bama, and that thing is fucked

4/28/2011 8:54:19 AM

lol the dumpster lid towards the end is all like OH LAWD

4/28/2011 9:01:04 AM

Oh snap! Just went outside and on the second floor our vinyl is pockmarked like fuck from the hail damage.

4/28/2011 9:03:57 AM

not sure if this will work for yall...

but my classmate took this after it passed north of us

oops, link

o snap another Jame/ison (i use an E)

4/28/2011 9:13:27 AM

Like I said at 2AM last night, the death toll was going to really rise by the morning.

But 45 to 173? That's awful.

4/28/2011 9:30:28 AM

Just updated death toll to 194

4/28/2011 9:31:29 AM

^ yeah the sirens haven't stopped I read somewhere the Bham metro area has the largest number of deaths so far (Tuscaloosa has the largest number of injuries I think)


I feel kinda stupid - I keep tearing up and it's just really hard to get off my mind

4/28/2011 9:32:09 AM

Updated to 213, what the hell.

4/28/2011 9:39:40 AM

so think i should go to Wendell today? Looks like its going to get beat up

4/28/2011 9:39:43 AM

I'm guessing there's lots of trailer parks in that area.

4/28/2011 9:41:59 AM

We've got 16 reported here so far. It's horrible.

yeah, they should just quit updating that number until they have a final tally.

4/28/2011 9:45:23 AM

there are. lots of farm land. i'd be in a big metal building in the only true interior room.

4/28/2011 9:47:58 AM

i had to finally stop looking at the photos - it's horrible

4/28/2011 10:05:16 AM

Oh boy. Looks like Wilmington might get some good stuff today. Should be interesting to see what we get.

Glad to hear all the TWW people are safe!

4/28/2011 10:35:37 AM

Better not destroy Topsail

4/28/2011 10:40:07 AM

wheres the storm going?

[Edited on April 28, 2011 at 10:42 AM. Reason : asd]

4/28/2011 10:41:32 AM

Nothing at all here in ATL. Literally heard thunder twice and it rained for 3 minutes

4/28/2011 10:44:46 AM

Here's some video from the Storm Chasers guys. Reed is a little annoying but still some interesting video...
