We have some damage a couple of houses in my side of town have had their homes redecorated by huge trees. Lots of flooded streams and high wind was the main problem.
However as you see on the news the Raleigh area about 70 miles by flying crow and 170 if you drive I-85 got the worst. The storms hopped and skiped over large areas between here and the coast. We were very lucky with the small amount of damage compared to those east of us. You can see the heavier damage beginning about 20 miles from my house and on up in to Raleigh. Very sad.

Just some rain and a stiff wind here.

Lots of high wind and rain here in Kernersville, but no tornados, they were all East of us.

Rayleigh is about 2500 miles north west of Gina, about 5 miles north of Kamloops.
We had a couple mini hail storms (mushy pea size) and one thunderclap here in Rayleigh. I'm okay!

Lots of high wind and 6" of rain here in Hendersonville. Hope all the fanatics east of here are okay.
