The leading edge of Arthur just rang our doorbell in NW Raleigh. Quick burst of heavy rain, thunder, a few wind gusts to about 25 mph. Looks like the NW edge of the rain shield is farther inland than anticipated.
As CHTransplant noted, we needed some rain.

I saw wind making the trees dance for about 10 minutes and then...nothing! Between Creedmoor and Six Forks. Where did he go???

We got what I call "Hollywood rain" the kind they have in soap operas. Straight down, heavy. It was fun to watch from my front porch. And I know my tomato plants appreciated it.

Ours began that way, then went this way and that way and this way and that way.
I understand Wilmington is really feeling this storm right now. We've not had even a drop of rain in my part of Cary, but my husband came home from RTP because it was pouring out and they were talking hurricanes and such. Crazy weather.

We are in Wrightsville Beach right now. The surf is crazy, the wind is howling and we just had a major wind gust. The rain comes and goes. We had a tornado warning before and we were all herded into the ballroom to wait it out.
It reminds me of a blizzard without the snow. The sand is blowing like crazy too.
One of my kids opened the balcony door at the same time another one opened the outside door and I thought we would all be sucked out of the room, LOL.
A weather channel reporter is at our hotel - never a good sign, LOL.
