High risk! Dangerous weather situation ongoing on the east coast!
A large tornado has evidently just struck Raleigh, North Carolina. Shown at left are righ-resolution base reflectivity and storm relative velocity images taken as the massive supercell with a confirmed tornado plowed through the southwest side of the city. At this time, a line of supercells extend from the eastern West Virginia panhandle all the way to eastern South Carolina--any of these could produce strong to violent tornadoes. The
Storm Prediction Center has issued a rare HIGH RISK for most of eastern North Carolina into northeast Virginia, as this
extremely dangerous weather event continues. Those in the risk areas are urged to exercise extreme caution, and be ready to execute their smartest weather safety plan in the event of a warning.
Below is video taken by Reed, Chris and Dustin "Bobo" Feldman last evening right outside of Leakesville, Mississippi. Reed says that the Leakesville tornado was much stronger than the Jackson-area tornado they filmed earlier in the day, making it especially more dangerous given that it occurred at night (
