Considering all the damage elsewhere and places nearby without power, I'd say I was one of the more fortunate ones.

My neighbor's security cam caught it all. Looked like part of the twister movie.

I wish I could see that video!

It has been a rough time for many people. Hopefully most of them are ok.

Does anyone know if BVZ is in the area of the destruction?
Not real sure where he lives, thought it might be closer to Charlotte or Greensboro maybe? ( Instead of the main destruction area)

Hoping for the best for all the people in the path.

BVZ is in the Piedmont Triad (High Point/Greensboro/Winston Salem), as am I. We received a ton of rain and some mild flooding but the worst of it is west of here. Asheville, Morganton, Boone, Blowing Rock and Lake Lure were devastated. Lots of damage, flooding, towns washed away, etc. It is going to take years to rebuild and restore what was lost.

Find me on FB, the video is in one of the comments.

We here in SW Ohio were in the midst of a very substantial drought, close to or equal to the one in 1988.

We got 4-5" of rain from the storm and over the next day or so. We had ZERO runoff. My ditch never accumulated anything. In most storms, that amount of rain would be quite awful and we'd have some flooding..

Same here; been dry since the middle of August. The only rain that accumulated was the initial rain that fell incredibly hard for a couple of hours. I think my grass has grown four inches since Monday. Really need to get it mowed tomorrow or Saturday.
