Thanks Man!
You missed a biggie, that's for sure. It lasted about 45 minutes and it was a little scary. The storm went through Cary at 60-75 mph! thunder and lightning, lots of rain, but no hail. Tornados all around us but nothing within 5 miles.
There is fiberglass insulation and roofing material everywhere for miles. Just crazy. Nothing compared to Huricane Fran though. Not even close...

Glad to hear you guys are safe. My old neighbors in Wake Forest were in the closet under the stairs during it.

yep - fran was worse. Death toll was about the same - but with Fran we had a lot more warning. Higher amount of property damage with fran.
One of the 8 or so monster storm cells that spawned the tornadoes touched down right there next to Ray Price Triumph.... they had an open house that day too. South Saunders street has been closed since then - they just started routing traffic today. Shaw university has classes cancelled for the rest of the semester.

The only other storm that compares to injured / deaths and property damage was march of 1984 (not to be confused with the 1988 one that didn't like the k-mart on glenwood)

I went down to see my daughter at NC State Saturday holly hell it got nasty. First time in my life I have seen building materials falling out of a crystal clear sky and then figured out why it didnt stay clear long. Not much damage in her complex near Carey but the damage was real bad on RT 401 leaving sunday.
