Watch only indicates possibility of severe weather...you really need to start paying attention when the NWS starts issuing Warnings...

god i so hope we get one and it is like an f5

11/16/2006 12:49:13 AM

you are a douche bag.

I remember when tornadoes hit raleigh in Nov. of 89 (may have been 88). Fucked up a lot of stuff and people died.

11/16/2006 1:04:33 AM

It was starting to get windy out there when I got my milkshake.

The radar makes me . That's a serious line of storms.

Looks like it's sleeping with the Ipod on again.

Just had a tornado warning expire here in Guilford County. Pretty neat thunderstorm we have going on here at the airport.

11/16/2006 1:50:42 AM

11/16/2006 1:52:02 AM

We didn't have a lot of lightning here just a TON of rain. visibility was down to 1/2mi. for a time.

11/16/2006 2:15:58 AM

11/16/2006 4:10:46 AM

5 dead in RIEGEL-WOOD

11/16/2006 10:28:39 AM

I live about 2 miles from where it happened. Luckily I'm in raleigh.

11/16/2006 10:41:26 AM

^^ Wow

11/16/2006 12:07:58 PM

Does anyone know exactly where this park is. I just walked from the Cape Fear River access by the paper mill into Riegelwood last week. From the river, you walk through a golf course, then through a road with a bunch of trailerparks on it to get to 87.

Terrible news. My heart goes out to those folks.

it is true tornados like trailer parks.

seems like everytime a tornado touches down it always ravages some trailer park. seriously what percentage of buildings are trailers.

11/16/2006 10:06:47 PM

Down there - a shitload. That area is dirt poor. When I was walking through some guy was pulling off parts of a burned out trailer to add to his place.

^^They had a tornado that hit about 5 miles from here (in Eastern Lincoln Co.) early yesterday morning that hit some nice housing development. Only a few houses were hit, but there was between 5-10 million dollars of damage. Like them in Riegelwood, we don't have sirens or alarms to inform us of a tornado warning. Thankfully, the one near here was only an F2 at worse (some meteorologists say F0, others say F2), and only some property was destroyed.

11/17/2006 1:43:54 PM

Jesus, according to the paper, I was within a couple of hundred yards of where this all went down on Pretty Branch Road.

Here's the map. I walked up Golf Course Road from the Cape Fear River to get to 87. Riegelwood proper is to the south about a mile down the 87 from that intersection. Sounds like Armour also got hit by this same tornado.
