WRAL WeatherCenter Blog : I am at work right now in Sanford and we just had a very unusual experience. The corner of our building made a slight rumble. Then again and then again. Nothing fell from the sky. Our building is on a concrete slab. We looked while it was going on to make sure that it was a big truck going by or thunder. On the radar there is NOTHING over us to make thunder. Is there any notification of an earthquake in our area? 10:30 am Thank you!!
WRAL WeatherCenter Blog : Mike Moss, This morning you mentioned Golf Ball sized hail and Wind Damage(from severe storms?) in Moore County. There are trace reports of such an event occurring just before the 3 am hour. But these are only on search engines. The actuall NOAA reports have been removed. Why would such a report be removed, and how, if it was removed for justifiable reasons could "Golf Ball sized Hail" be mistaken as anything else by those (Human or Mechanical) in a position to place such a report on NOAA in the first place?
WRAL WeatherCenter Blog : You reported that Falls Lake is now full at 251.5ft. What is that a measure of? Certainly Falls Lake is not 251ft deep.
WRAL WeatherCenter Blog : I'm a graduate student at NCSU. One of the research projects I am working on requires historical averages for the number of sunny, partly cloudy, cloudy, rainy, and snowy days in the Raleigh area. It further needs to be broken down by time of day and day of week (e.g., weekday mornings, weekday afternoons, weekend mornings, and weekend afternoons). I've searched NOAA and NCDC and it seems the only thing I can find is average precipitation. Any suggestions where I can find this info?
