Raleigh guys, yall allright after storm

We were @ a Mopar Event @ Rockingham and we were about 5 miles ahead of the tornado that tore up Sanford the we got around the beltline and home to K-dale before it touched down looks like S Saunders street is destroyed. Any word from the guys @ Uwharrie @ the Spring Fling are they all safe and secure????
 
I'm in Mebane (1/2 way between Raleigh & Greensboro) and we made out all right. Tornados were east & west of us. We just got some bad thunderstorms and an inch of rain in 20 minutes. Hope everyone is ok...
 
Seems like there were a few fatalities out there. Not sure of the numbers though.

Got hit with a huge storm here in Boone too. Woke up to the road behind my house basically flooded out.
 
I've heard 3 dead in Raleigh just got my power back and now have to drain the water (3") out of the front floor of the WJ. Just got back in from a 4 hour emergency service call to boot.
 
its been nuts around here. prolly 3 or 4 touchdowns in joco. the town of micro (yes, its very small if you didnt know haha) is in shambles. there are somewhere around 10 18-wheelers overturned on i95. there is a trailer park on 301 that got completely demolished. one of the guys who works for us lived there and he and his family got out in the nick of time, his trailer is essentially gone. my uncles farm is across the train tracks from the trailer park and the school and the twister went over his back pasture before it hit the trailer park. the hs i went to is about half a mile from micro and the twister that hit the town went across the campus. i went over there to check on my gfs car and you can see the line through the woods that the twister rent. she had taken some students to a contest in williamston today and they got stranded down there for several hours till the twisters passed. luckily they were made to stay there bc the tornado hit the school right when they should have gotten back if they had been on schedule. also, i95 is shut down out side of micro and traffic is backed up well over 10 miles in both directions.

we're expecting to get paged out tonight to help when the firemen who are out there get tired and need some relief.

this is a picture my cousin took from their back porch

Glad to hear everyone is ok, the worst we got at work was almost golf ball sized hail. I started getting worried after passing yonkers rd but luckily we had no serious damage. I think I just heard another tree fall though. Did anything happen at the lee county mud motorsports complex garage sale?
 
No damage here,but we had a 3'x10' peice of steel siding land on the roof ....god knows where it came from. (lowes?)

Hope the rest of yall are OK as well. ...man, what a wild afternoon
 
Jeeper hit

Don't know how many of you know Jose Villarreal. He drives a green Grand Cherokee. His house got hit. Windows blown in, fair amount of siding off. He posted some pics up on facebook. Looks like his roof is intact. Been trying to contact him to see if he needs anything.
Not exactly sure where he lives, I believe it is North Raleigh.

We're ok, tornado touched down on the south side of town, far from us, only thing we lost was internet for a while. I'm ok with that.
