TOR:CON 5

North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
February 24, 2016 8:52am CST
We are just sitting here waiting on the storm to arrive. It has already claimed a few lives when a tornado ripped through an RV park. An apartment complex was severely damaged, injuring some, but fortunately killing none. This is a huge storm, and I am hoping for the best for all of us that are in it's path. Here in Myrtle Beach, we are right now under a TOR:CON 5 warning, which means that on a scale of one to ten, we are at a five for risk of tornadoes. I must say, my nerves are rattled right now. Good luck all.

I hope you stay safe. We have the snow part of that storm. I think it's the same storm coming up from the south.

@cindiowens From what I am seeing on the weather channel it's from the south border to the north border of the US as well as east. It's a bad one.

Hope you are all safe. I've seen this storm on the news and it looks pretty menacing. We're supposed to get heavy rain later today with high winds (60 mph) and thunder storms. This winter the weather has been a mix of everything it seems

It really has been strange. If my Granny were still alive, she would say "The end of the world is coming."
