The Electric was out for 36 hours. (pics)
 

We had a huge storm Sunday and then the power went out and didn't come back on till 6am this morning. I didn't realize how much I need the electric till it was gone. :( I was not alone tho 250,000 people had no electric for 24-36 hours, some people still have none.

That was some freaky storm!

Winds have been pretty heavy here for a few days not. Gusting to about 35 or 40 which is odd for this time of year.

Thanks hun, so you didn't get much of it?

We had tornado watches all day yesterday but nothing happened but lots of wind and heavy rain. It was an eerie day.

I'm around Gastonia. The storm hit us about 1:15 am. It blew a few trees down but wasn't nearly as bad as what you guys got.

Question for the NC people. Do your towns turn on the sirens every time it storms? There was no tornado warning for my location that night but the sirens were going off for about 10 minutes. Why? Every time there's a strong thunderstorm they turn the fucking things on.

I'm originally from Kansas. When they turn on the sirens there it's because there was either a funnel cloud sighted or there is a tornado on the ground in the area. I've almost been retrained to ignore the sirens now.

That happened in my neighborhood a couple years ago. Tress uprooted everywhere, and no power for about 3 days.

There were some MASSIVE trees taken down. One near my house had a crater where the roots had been -- you could stand inside of it and it was over your head.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh LOL

I'm in Greensboro and they only have the flash on the news. I woke up and the TV was off so I thought "That tv is old and it blew up." and rolled back over too sleep. My dog's were all so sleeping I assume as they didn't bark or anything.


My friends son and his wife were up and the flash news on the tv said there were tornadoes so they got into the bathtub and had a matters over them, thankfully nothing happened there.

damn that sucks...

Damn, that is one crazy ass storm

:helpme:helpme:helpme

I wish I had a camera this gorgeous house up the road lost two huge at least 100 year old trees. It's a good time too be a roofer or a tree guy.

yeah we got an automated phone call (for the first time lol) about tornado warning the other night... had family calling me all worried and shit.

but nothing happened, this time. It cooled off a bit though, which I don't mind.

No sirens in Charlotte but the storm was massive, i am glad i flew back from Phoenix earlier on that day...

My sister in law got her car totalled that night:

Whoa, glad you're ok. Sucks to be out of power for even a couple of hours! All we got of it here was.. snow.

I'm glad nothing happened.

The apocalypse is nigh :2 cents:

wet t-shirt contest time??

I bet they were century oaks. :( At least someone is going to have good firewood next winter.

Glad you are ok!!

Thanks hun! Hope you had a great time at the show.



:)

One hell of a storm.

What a mess behind :(

When that guy was looting beer, I was without power and living off of generators for exactly 30 days because of Katrina and it was Sept and still hot as hell in the 90's the whole time.

Why would you go for a walk in that kind of weather?

I didn't go for a walk LMAO! The pic is on the news website, it's the school down the street from me.

36 hrs without power? We call that a babymaker.

Watch 9 months from now, see all the newborns in your area. TA, you preggers? Better check.

i cant afford electricity...

no power is not an excuse for a chick to not take the pill.

I would have had to have a man here for that.


:(

Scary shit...

Yea the tree guy's are still hard at work. There are still 12,000 people with out power still.
