[HarlequinBoy]

Any confirmed?

[NC George]

Storms are approaching me very quickly. The cell causing the tornado warning for Lenoir County will pass very close to me, approaching my location at 71 mph according to local news. Cell in Duplin County is moving at 86 mph.

As a side note, my barometer is approaching the highest level I have seen (meaning lowest pressure.) It's a quite unscientific water based unit (mainly for looks/decoration) but the water is coming out the top of the tube, and still rising (meaning pressure is still dropping.)

[NC George]

None confirmed, yet. Local news just reported cell in Duplin Co. has lost rotation.

[HarlequinBoy]

Well you stay safe. These night storms are so dangerous.

[brunota2003]

From local news report just now: "We are really concerned with this line extending from the Virginia border on south. Could see wind gusts of 50, 60 or 70 mph with it and heavy downpours." Not expecting it to clear out until prolly at least 3 am.

Winds really picked up behind the line. Power is flickering here...

[HarlequinBoy]

16 tornado reports from March 3 across the Lower Mississippi Valley..

[RL3AO]

Check out the new table on the SPC site under the map. Kinda neat.

[JonathanBelles]

Check out the new table on the SPC site under the map. Kinda neat.

That is pretty cool. Good addition for quick information.

[HarlequinBoy]

Oh nifty!

[NC George]

Update from Eastern NC. At my location, I didn't receive any unusually severe weather. I didn't even notice the main line of storms passing over my location, winds reached 30 mph (personally measured by handheld anemometer) in some of the storms before the main line.

In other parts of Eastern NC, no tornadoes actually touched down. In Bertie County, one house was heavily damaged (walls still standing, roof ripped off) by straight line winds, and trees were reported down in about 10 scattered counties.

[brunota2003]

Well, I got to make a report today. I estimated the winds early this morning were gusting to about 50 mph, which is confirmed by a wind gust of 56 mph at the Cherry Point ASOS (a mile or two away). The only damage I've seen around here though, are mainly twigs and the occasional small limb down. The power flickered several times between 1:42 and 1:45 am EST. There was also a dead tree that had fallen over across the street from my school, unsure if it was from the winds, however (though I do not recall it being there yesterday).

[Tstormwatcher]

Wow, I slept thru the whole thing although I did lose power. Can back on at 3:30 am.

[brunota2003]

Wow, I slept thru the whole thing although I did lose power. Can back on at 3:30 am.

Power never went out here, that I know of. It flickered on and off repeatedly from about 1:42 to 1:45 am, however. The New Bern ASOS recorded a wind gust of 55 mph at 1:04 am. Cherry Point ASOS recorded a wind gust of 56 mph at 1:36 am.
