I’ll never forget this day...My kids and I had to run downstairs to my neighbor’s house for shelter. The tornado passed right behind us, headed down Forestville Rd in Raleigh...CRAZY!
about to mark ten years
This was such a crazy day. I remember it like it was yesterday.
Zephyr same the sanford tornado came behind me
Me too. The EF3 in Fayetteville was right there, I was 7 years old. I'm obsessed with weather now, I want to be a meteorologist
Holly springs NC,i was there,thank God we made it ,tornado passed about 200ft from my truck ,scariest weather I've encountered!
this was the most traumatizing day of my life, i came back here because today we got a tornado warning and i remembered this.
I was at Mission Valley, which is right by WRAL, I went into a closet at the theater. There were people in the lobby who wouldn't go into a closet. I remember one guy saying "we'll go if it comes this way", this was when WRAL had just said the tornado was near Centennial Campus.
I lived in Rolesville at the time, we cracked our windows as soon as our ears started popping and hid in our closet with our dogs. One of the scariest moments of my life, the homes on the next street were destroyed.
Just something you might find interesting, Scientists have said the open windows thing is a big myth and that you're putting yourself in more danger by doing that. Just something to think about.
They totally ignored the tornado warning (and tornado) that was already ripping through Fayetteville. Once the tornado hit Holly Springs, they got completely myopic and left Fayetteville in the dark. Sad.
They always do that its all about Raleigh cause that area has a lot more people
+_Keith910_ For some reason they do it with Roxboro too. Roxboro has a population of 8,000 but any time there's a weather event, someone (usually Brian Mims) is in Roxboro and never Fayetteville, even though Fayatteville could have the same or worse conditions.
Drive On! Right I be like why Roxboro it's not even a most populated city in North Carolina I think wral does better with Fayetteville
Thank you i live in cumberland and it hit me hard
Drive On! well to be honest, the Raleigh area is significantly more populated than Fayetteville. WRAL is really a Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill station, NOT SANDHILLS. Fayetteville has it's own news and weather channels. this storm also was forecast to go directly through downtown Raleigh, which it did and had history of decimating Lee County.
A bad
day.. You can hear that even the NWS center and WRAL was told to seek shelter
My father-in-law lived down around Apex not far off Ten Ten Road when this hit. It missed his trailer (yes, he stayed in his trailer even with the tornado warning) by about a hundred yards and ripped up the forest across the road from him. I was living in Durham and had no tornadoes but the squall was nasty and dropped a big branch across my truck's hood, no big deal compared to what so many other people had to deal with.
This is like Raleigh‘s version of 9/11
My dad got out of there on his Motorcycle but I’m just really happy that we don’t even get tornadoes anymore
I was in Raleigh that day on a field trip and they told us we had to leave because there was a bad storm coming then when I got home I remember walking through the door and my dad watching the news and telling me there were tornadoes n stuff there
I remember this day like it was yesterday. I thank God it missed me. But my prayers to the ones who got hit. That was a fateful day and I’ll remember it for the rest of my life.
I remember I was at my house and I was just watching TH-cam (as you would regularly do) and then my mom said to get in the bathtub and all I remembered was dark (not from tornado from the blankets and pillows on me and my brother) and after a few moments it was done that was one of the most frightening days of my life
I remember hearing that Frieght train sound in my house my mom and dad in i went to the bathroom. I never forget that day!!!
Glad that I went to a family party in VA that day........I was still scared for the people under the gun of a high risk. I came back the next day, and saw hell. Damage everywhere. The tornado actually lifted near my old house, and there was hail and wind damage. It was bad enough for me, I feel for the people who actually had to deal with this.........
@@friesareyummy yeah i was at my house the Frieght train sound was crazy
NC “Trees are down next to the interstate.
Okla: Uh huh
NC: Lowes hardware store is destroyed
Okla; I’ll hold your beer
Cant believe its been 10 years ago on this day
These storms hit 2 months before they hit Louisville (Jefferson County), Kentucky the damage in Louisville (Ky.) was at Historic Churchill Downs Race Track, Equipment Depot (Near the University of Louisville), & Did Damage in East Louisville (Hurstbourne Parkway area).
I was in The Pit BBQ restaurant in downtown Raleigh when this hit. Tornado missed us by about 2 or 3 blocks. I was lucky. Was also in Greenville for Hurricane Irene. Crazy weather year for me!
And to know, 7-8 days later all hell would break loose.
I remember this day very well as well. My sister's birthday party was that day, and we were playing outside, even as conditions got worse. It started to storm when my mom rushed everyone inside. I thought it was just a thunderstorm, but my mom saying there was a tornado afterwards. I also remember going down Tryon Rd. and seeing the damage as it had crossed over Tryon and damaged a house and some trees.
That was moments before it hit S. Saunders and just barely missed completely taking out the Harley dealership (although building did suffer structural damage). It destroyed a car repair garage about a block down from the HD dealer, but I can't recall the name of the intersection road there.
My mom was near the Tryon/Kildare Farm Rd intersection, and my aunt and uncle were near Ten Ten and Penny Rd (near Graham Newton, Blaney Franks, Yates Mill Pond). I was in Wilmington, watching this unfold, and simultaneously worrying about my best friend, whose home in Clarkton got damaged by a storm that day.
I drove up the next morning (for what was supposed to be a regularly scheduled visit) and got to see the damage path from Tryon through S. Saunders.
@@sierratrilogy crazy how its about to be ten years since.
Off topic but I have the same birthday as your sister
I remembered that, it was a crazy day in Garner!
I remember watching this as it was going down !!! That tornadoes keep getting bigger g& bigger ,closer & closer all the way to their power went down
That's kind of what they do...
I remember this back when it was me and my brother alone at home and our mom at work
We was so scared we stop playing games and just pay attention to the News and we got out blankets and pillow in the bathtub
Other than hurricanes no other storm has got me this scare.
Though i do wish ill be able to see a tornado
march 28 1984 // November 28, 1988 // May 5, 1989 // Nov 22, 1992 // April 16, 2011 Central and eastern North Carolina is no stranger to tornado outbreaks.
I’m in the Sanford family. My name is Katie Sanford. Wow..big storm at my house.
that year also hurricane irene hits nc
Naw, Irene was in 2011 ;)
ok?
@@jmullentech I'm late but that's the year this storm happened lol. The date is 2011-4-16. In other words April 16 2011 lmao
I remember looking out my window and seeing a river down my street and my dad turned on the news and we heard there was a tormado
Wow.I also was there and I just came off of a 3 day fast that morning. It was a sunny morning.I opened my balcony door and got on my laptop some time passed and all of a sudden it was hard for me to get air because the tornado was headed toward my area from downtown and sucking up the air yet I didn't know it yet.Then I noticed everything was very quiet no birds chirping.At that moment I thought in my mind something is wrong! It's to quiet and it seems humid like no air.For some reason I typed on Google Raleigh tornado watch.And all of a sudden it popped on my computer screen that a tornado touched down in Raleigh.I jumped up to look out my balcony door and I saw a high dark cloud coming toward the where I lived.And all of a sudden the wind picked up and stuff was flying.I struggled to close my balcony door and take cover.I said God help me! Finally got balcony door shut n only had time to make it to my hallway n brace myself n waited for the impact.And 2 minutes later I'm still braced against 2 walls and a I heard were sirens.The tornado tore up everything around my apt bld but didn't touch our apt bld.AMAZING!
Okay, so I've re-watched this I don't know how many times, and I'm still not totally convinced that what they were calling a lightning strike at 9:51ish isn't actually a power flash. 10:02 or thereabouts, also looks like a power flash.
Someone in front of me we where in the tornado got killed
Was there another outbreak soon before or after this?
There was the "Super Outbreak" of April 27th, 2011 that was centered over Mississippi and Alabama. NC got some tornadoes from that, albeit in the western part of the state. Look for "ABC 33/40 4-27-2011 Coverage" and it is archived on here. I suggest the "Waffle Iron Archives" version of the upload.
There was a significant outbreak the day before across LA, MS and AL as well. Pretty well forgotten as well due to 4-27-11 being one of the largest and deadliest tornado outbreaks ever.
Seeing this now I think to my self what if that hit my house as 2 year old 😢
I was only 8 at the time I lived in knightdale and was asleep and we tried to outrun it and did.
Tornado Warning Yesterday 😲😲😱
Those same storms dropped 2 tornadoes in Union County NC in the City Of Monroe and the Town Of Unionville my home town light damage was done Im a Skywarn Storm Spotter my ID is 36685
Kyle Holmes you made no fucking sense
@@sneakerhead9308 no i think you just don't know what he's talking about
Not over yet by a long shot
Dual pol in 2011?! WHAT
I am guessing they were one of the first stations able to get it cuz James spann station didn't until 2013-2014
They privately owned a dual-pol radar at the station. The NEXRAD radars didn't get upgraded until a couple of years later. WHNT in Huntsville has actually had a live dual-pol radar since 2004. They are the first broadcast TV station in the country to own and use the technology.
@@fgossage That's weird, I saw recently dual pol data for the el reno-piedmont tornado from may 24 2011 recently.
@@supertornadogun1690 Yep. That was the KOUN dual-pol testbed radar at the time. Data from it was made publicly available in real-time.
