Weather in Charlotte, NC --- The DNC


Posted: Sep 6, 2012

Someone posted earlier that the forecast for Charlotte is the same as it was for Wednesday. They said the reason the venue of the President's speech was changed for Thursday was because they could not get enough people to fill up the 65,000 seats in the Bank of America Stadium. Well, that poster is wrong. I live here, so I know. Tuesday evening, we had one of the worst lightening storms we have had in several years. Thunder boomed and the ground shook. Lightening streaked across the sky. It was a horrific storm with a downpour of 2 inches in an hour. Now, I do not know where that original poster lives, but in Charlotte where I live, it was storming something fierce. Thursday's forecast is supposed to be thunderstorms between the hours of 2 and 7 p.m., or so says WSOC-TV in Charlotte. There were a total of 19,000 people on a waiting list to get into the stadium, as all seats were taken. The stupidity and hatefulness on this board is uncalled for. Are you children, calling others names and spreading lies? Have some common sense, or at least if you cannot do that, have some decency to others of the human race and quit wagging your fingers like it's your tongue. I bet 98 percent of the haters on these boards are so hateful to others because they can't speak that way face to face with another person. Most people who are so hateful are taking it out on others because they want to get back at the ones who did it to them. It's a vicious cycle, not unlike abuse. Haters on these message boards hide behind their words and laugh at their ploy of creating havoc because they cannot control their own surroundings. Take a moment and ask yourself . . . what if that person behind those words you throw out were your cousin or grandfather? What if it were your mother or father, sister or brother? Would you still be so hateful? Does it matter? Do you even care? Many of you have sorry excuses for lives, taking your hate out on this board. There are some adults here who would like to discuss topics and communicate with each other in like manner without the children butting in. Please haters, stay away, or better yet, God Bless you. I hope your life gets much better in the days to come. You really do need help. ;

Thanks for the good info, My2C. Primary source info! - I was so sorry for the thousands

of folk who were disappointed, but I imagine there were a lot of parties around hotel and motel room TVs. :)

Well said! - Also in NC

I was thinking pretty much the same thing when I was reading some of these ridiculous posts with the rain coming down in buckets outside. No big underhanded plot going on, just plain old rain.

Well said.... - SK1

The vitriol that flames across this board is unreal. There was one of those quote photos floating around Facebook that I wish I had saved... Something about no one ever changing their minds by being hit over the head with your politics.

I love political debate. I really do. I hate namecalling -- "libtards," "rethuglicans." I hate generalizations -- "all liberals," "all conservatives." I just stop reading immediately. Which is too bad, because there ARE some people on here who have some really valid points to make and I love having exchanges with them. But it all gets lost in the fray. Maybe that's the intention. I've never had any respect for people who try to elevate the way they feel about themselves by belittling other people.

Change Of Location In CharlotteSep 06, 2012
First, don't jump on me because I don't really care about the location change or why it was made, but Juan Williams stated last night on Fox news that it was indeed because they could not be sure of getting enough people to fill the stadium. I don't think that necessarily means there were not enough people wanting to attend, but some people were probably backing out themselves because of the possibility of bad weather, the travel, and maybe just in general for one reason ...

Bad WeatherApr 17, 2011
Hope you all made it through the terrible weather yesterday in the southeastern part of the country, and northeastern states.  What a night!  Our local TV station said there was definite possibility of a tornado in West York.  I live in the northwest part of York, PA.  About 8:15 things changed dramatically.   I ran from the livingroom into the bathroom, and I literally covered my head with pillows.  I live in an apartment and have the second and third f ...

I Want To Be A Vikings Fan, Not Have Minnesota's WeatherFeb 06, 2010
So, as per my somewhat routine insomnia, I got no sleep last night.  I went to lie down this morning and heard my husband get in his car.  Then I heard him get stuck.  It took both of us at 5:30 a.m. almost 40 minutes to shovel all the snow and get his car out of the driveway.  Then, he got stuck at the bottom of the street.  Thankfully, a very nice neighbor heard him and came up with his plow, got him unstuck, and plowed the way for him all the way to the main road ...

I went to a newly opened Shell station to get a half tank of gas.  As soon as my pre-purchased card cleared to begin the transaction, a video monitoring changed from showing a still picture of something you could buy inside to a recent news blurb of local events, followed by a three day forecast of weather in my area, a commercial inviting me to buy Snickers by running inside, finally followed by a Fox sports cast, all timed perfectly from the start of the transaction to the last 30 seconds ...

Hot Weather Lunch Ideas For Picky EaterOct 04, 2014
We live in a very hot environment and have no air conditioning, so it gets extremely hot in our house. I'm trying to get some lunch ideas that don't involve turning the stove or oven on at all, but my husband is extremely picky and I am not creative at all when it comes to food. I've done lunchmeat/cold cuts, but he will only eat that every once in a while or else he says I'm giving him gout. He doesn't like chicken salad or egg salad or anything like that. No se ...

Extreme Weather At All Time Lows As Climax Hoax Apr 29, 2017
The Church of Global Warming has many followers and, because it’s a cult-like religious belief to them, no amount of hard data will ever convince them they adhere to the teachings of a false god. Nevertheless, it is incumbent upon the non-establishment, honest alternative media to report what is and what isn’t: And what isn’t is the supposed increase in “extreme weather” due to “global warming/climate change” caused by humans. Climate Depot points this out in a new report tha ...
