When I first heard the reports yesterday of a huge tornado passing thru
Sanford, NC on its way to Raleigh I became concerned for a friend of
mine who lives in Apex, NC which is between Sanford and Raleigh.
Fortunately he and his wife are fine but the tornado did pass about 3/4
mile from their house on its way to Raleigh after totally destroying a
Lowe's home improvement center in Sanford. I've looked at several
hundred pictures this morning and the damage is far beyond what I would
expect from a typical North Carolina tornado. Reports are that this one
was about 1 mile wide.
There is some scary video footage here shot from a camera mounted on top
of the RBC bank building, the tallest building in Raleigh. The tornado
is BIG!
