None of the past few seasons has been anywhere NEAR what was predicted. In past summers, I'd say we could use a good tropical system up this way to give us some soaking rains, but not now after all these storms!
I was down at the community pool last night fishing all of the furniture out of the pool. The wind was so strong I could not get the gate open to leave, it kept blowing me back.
I am in the Five Forks area just off of Bennett's Bridge and we did not lose power. However, I did have a bit oak fall down in our yard. It came up by the root ball. Luckily it did not hit the house.
Was sorta listening to the news on the TV in the background last night and heard Geraldi, and burned down. My head whipped around, but the segment was over. Went on line and found the story.
Was surprised to hear the name up here, and for such a thing, as this was my kids pediatrician in SOFLA until they both turned 21yrs old. Their home burned to the ground in the Carolinas from a lightening strike yesterday.
I was driving back from Charleston on Tuesday and Charleston hadn't had hardly any rain worth mentioning in the 3 weeks I was there.
Once I got down I385 about 10 miles, I saw BLACK clouds out of no where. They were scary looking. I thought maybe I could drive past it and be ok, but things got worse.
All of a sudden the skies broke out and hail came down and the wind was shaking my SUV. It was hard to keep it on the road. Wow!! I was shaking.
I swear it looked like funnel clouds were forming because it was black clouds all the way to the land.
Then I sped up just risking getting a ticket because I wanted to just get home out of all that mess. Then it started right back up at Ftn. Inn so I stopped at a BI-LO and stayed there until things cleared good enough for me to get home.
Then last night in Simpsonville, the skies got black again and the wind was blowing and limbs down in my yard.
How longs have these evening storms been occurring at night?
I don't mind rain and a scattered shower here and there but these storms are a bit scary.
