Those storms kept me up all night with my terrified dog. That was some of the most intense lightning I’ve ever watched.

Thanks for the updates, VK.

Seconding the thanks. The lightning reminded me of when the tornado outbreak we had in April of whatever year it was. Almost continuous.

Quick update:

I have recently moved to La Follette, so I no longer live in South Knoxville. Most of my current conditions posts will be from La Follette.

I have to ask why? This couldn't have been a voluntary decision?

Easy now. He could be following his lifelong passion to capture the skunk ape.

Or make meth.

I'm staying with my folks for a little while. They live in the woods in Campbell county, so I think I'll be safe.

It's expected to be a major hurricane when it makes landfall. It will have at least Tropical storm force winds if/when it hits East Tennessee.

 

[Vol knight]

Still way too far out to say where it's going to go. IF there is any impact from this storm, it will likely be in the northeastern section of East TN.

True but a stronger storm tends to track southward. Either way. This will be a devasting storm. Interesting that the GFS keeps the eye right on the coast for two days. That would be devastining. Gotta watch the high building over Ohio too. Could push it further south or pull it northward. Either way. Look out!

Here's a good graphic of where the winds are going to be over the next 5 days.

I'm in the dark red in North Myrtle Beach. The water is already pushing up on to the dunes at high tide. I live ocean front so we are watching this closely right now.

Live in the mountains of western VA.

Still get boned by hurricane.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Just got our mandatory evacuation order starting at noon tomorrow. I want to roll with it, but it doesn't look like I'll get the chance.
