Yesterday was a scary day in NC ... 62 confirmed tornadoes and 22 related fatalities. The Lowes Home Improvement store in Sanford was flattened. Shaw University in Raleigh has suspended classes through the rest of the semester. In north Raleigh, my friend Martha has debris on her roof and in her trees. She found pieces of mail addressed to folks in Sanford in her yard.
Chatham County was spared. Throughout the day, we experienced windy, threatening conditions with a short period of heavy rain in the late afternoon, amounting to just less than 1/2 " rainfall in the garden. Once the storms blew through, we were left with sunshine in a blue, cloudless sky... just in time for Sarah and Lee's wedding at 5:00pm, followed by a lovely outdoor reception at the Haman's home and farm out in the county.
Here's a link that shows the storm tracks. Chatham County is the irregularly shaped rectangle tucked into the space between Sanford, Raleigh, and Durham. Lucky, indeed!
