I still lived near Nashville when an F3 swept through downtown and across East Nashville neighborhoods. There was damage to the state capital building, and one person was killed in the park adjacent to the capital (Bicentennial Mall). The best equivalency I can give to Charlotte would be Uptown and Plaza-Midwood, with P-M taking the brunt of the damage.

I went to Nashville right after that for the very first time.  and the state Capitol had plywood on the windows.  as the cities in the south have gotten bigger and bigger they are more in the path of tornadoes.   Tornadoes have to be taken seriously even in Charlotte and the region.

Charlotte averages 7 days of 70° or higher in the winter over the past 30 yrs. We also only average 2 days with measurable snow over the same time. Yet some how the expectation of one versus the other is opposite.
I will take these odds.  enjoyed the day today.

this happened in Charlotte though nothing on the scale of what happened in the big A.  My friends in Cobb County had their son abandon the school bus after 4 hour ride and walked the rest of the way home with his big brother.

#ThisDayInGAHistory in 2014 A snow and ice storm, aka Snowpocalypse, crossed most of Georgia. The storm caused massive traffic jams, particularly in and around Atlanta. Many motorists became stranded in their vehicles and many children had to spend the night at their schools

Many conversations in our house, to this day, begin with "ohhh setherly!"

Enjoyed the 2014 storm, great time to live in Southend it was like adult snow day parties all week long.  Also my rescue pup who I've had since March 2014 was found by a lady who volunteered at North Meck Animal Rescue when he was out in wild with no tags up in Concord during those snow storms.  

Fond memories of that week :)

Was that the storm where everyone was stopped on Independence outside of uptown and the idiot news guys were walking around in that traffic doing live reports and the police had to call the station to get them to tell the guy on live TV to get out of the road?

YES after watching the reports from Atlanta they decided "Hold my sweet tea, we can do one jam up too"

but then Raleigh said " Hey Charlotte we can do one even better!"  and yes this is real and from our Capital City

worldwide exclusive photos of the Railyard in its first snow.  this 'blizzard' lasted 5 minutes then changeover to straight up cold rain.   the flakes were big while they lasted.  and my camera lens was clean at the time!

Tornado Warnings...Be careful people.  Hope the cranes Uptown are set accordingly for the wind.

the cranes I saw in Southend were all idle at Lowes Tech tower and the new one at the Square. 

flooding is our main problem right now.  Turn around don't drown is not just a catchy saying it is the truth.

According to this it started very near my new office (sadly not commuting to Uptown on the train for now). NOAA says it was fully contained in NC and I get that both of these maps are rough estimates of where it began. Still near enough to be sobering. Regardless, it was crazy out there and the site was without power on Thursday and Friday.
