Agreed. I was kinda surprised to see that recent 45 mph gust earlier in Winston-Salem but it goes to your point it is becoming extra-tropical.

There could have been some offshore last evening, but not now. No wind event inland, just more rain. It was not much of a tropical system at landfall, more subtropical. More extratropical now.

As of yesterday morning’s update I had received 10.3” from Debby. I’ve since had an additional 0.6” to give me a Debby grand total (over 3 days) of 10.9”, easily the largest amount from a single event here since Matthew of Oct 7-8, 2016.

Together with the 10” I got 7/19-8/3 from PM convection, I’ve received 20.9” during just the 20 day period of 7/19-8/7. Thus, any possible heavy rains from tropical or other during the next few weeks could be extra problematic.

We haven't gotten much rain yet but it's overcast and the breeze has certainly picked up out there.

Looking at the latest obs, it appears Debby is merging with the cold front now. Dewpoints in the mid to upper 60s are flowing southward on the NW side. No evidence at all of sustained 35kt winds. Max I see inland is 15-20 kts with gusts to 35 kts. Should be a downgrade next hour. ET in 6-12 hrs.

I am 25 mi east of Raleigh and it's been falling a flood! I don't recall having seen so many tornado warnings associated with a Tropical system. A home that was destroyed in Wilson County failed in a way I had not seen before - the second floor fell into the first floor, killing a resident. The home appeared to be a stick-built brick home, but it appears the first floor studs collapsed..
