NC tornado outbreak, Raleigh supercell video
CHASE VIDEO: Supercell over downtown Raleigh by Matt Robinson
The video clip above was shot by my brother Matt as a tornado-warned supercell's wall cloud passed almost directly over downtown Raleigh, North Carolina. Several tornadoes occured across NC yesterday, some producing significant damage.
| Cracking Vid from Matt, Dan does that make you feel left out, or are you more than happy with going East ?

This is the fourth or fifth big tornado event in NC in the past 2-3 years - maybe Raleigh isn't so bad for chasing after all!

looking at the video showed what I was missing while driving in it that day...wow...I just remember looking up and seeing rotation ...my first encounter per say..if I wasn't on the way to pick up my child that day.. i would've pulled over and watched it as much as I could...it was amazing..(I guess you can tell I don't have any experience dealing with tornados)

I was on this storm on US 1 from Cary Parkway all the waay towards the NC State campus. All I can say is WOW!!! I witnessed several small funnels form and dip towards the ground. The Cary Fire Department reported an actual touchdown at Cary Parkway and US 1 but I never witnessed a debris cloud. This was my second one of last year, the first being a DEFINITE touchdown northeast of Clayton on March 27.
