The most common question I've had since turning TW back on in January is about the April 27, 2011 thread. With over 2000+ posts it is was one of the largest threads on the old site and the information contained within served as a living record for those who are both weather enthusiasts and weather professionals alike. I firmly believe that everyone in the southeast learned some hard lessons that day and the weeks following. From time to time it is good to review those lessons and remember the factors that led up to that tragic day.
With those thoughts in mind, I am pleased to announce that the April 27, 2011 thread will return to TalkWeather.com. We were very lucky to have a member, @Equus, who archived all the 4/27 posts and was kind enough to send them to me (along with a few other key threads). Starting tomorrow, April 20, 2017 the original April 27, 2011 thread will come back to life as it occurred in 2011. Each post will be made at the same time and date of the original thread. @MichelleH was the original poster and her account will be used to make the first post and then our new bot, @TW Archive will take over posting all of the 2000+ posts and 2GB of graphics over the next few days.
To preserve the thread, replies will be not allowed. However, this thread will serve as place to discuss the outbreak and the days leading up and after. I encourage you to share with your friends that have an interest and jump in the discussion and tell us your story.
Thanks,
Jack, Mike, Lori, Matthew and Wes
