Wow...

Active afternoon and evening of weather. Very slow-moving thunderstorms moved across basically every square inch of the viewing area. Most folks saw a good, soaking rain, and some places had some flash flooding issues. This was primarily due to the very slow movement of the areas of rain and storms.

Quite a few severe thunderstorm warnings were issued. I began continuous coverage at around 3:30, and Jeff and I tag-teamed it until 5:00 non-stop. I called it a day at roughly 6pm(remember I signed on the air today at 11am) while Jeff has continued live weather hits all evening. That is the true beauty of News 14 Carolina. We have the ability to be there with you, walking you through the storms as they happen. We consider that our primary responsibility, and it is an honor to do so.

This storm report came in from 1 mile northwest of Woodleaf in Rowan county:
"TREES AND POWERLINES DOWN...BLOCKING ROAD ON COOL SPRINGS RD AT HART RD. POWER POLES ALSO REPORTED BLOWN DOWN. (GSP)"

Things should settle down tonight, but it looks like things will set themselves up for another active weather day tomorrow afternoon and evening. Stay tuned...

Time to spend a little time with the family, head to bed, and get ready for another potentially active day tomorrow. Have a safe night....
