That's a little too close for me, thankyaverymuch.
Well, the info I am seeing - there was an bow echo right over epicenter and frankly, I was holding my breath cause the rotation was right for a tornado. Luckily, it did not form into a tornado.

Put on WSOC and see if they show that shot again. That was about as ominous looking a funnel cloud as I've seen since the one that jumped the Lowes Grandstand last May.

Whoa, Nancy, is it pounding rain over at your house? I thought it was hailing and the wind is really swirling the trees around in my yard. Take a look at the Doppler radar...I think we are under the RED blob...
