Tornadoes occurring in the Carolinas
Tornado watches have been issued for parts of North and South Carolina this afternoon, and multiple law-enforcement reports of tornadoes have been coming in from the western parts of those states. A large tornado was reported near High Point, NC, prompting a tornado emergency, and substantial damage and some injuries have been reported as well. These storms are training somewhat and moving to the northeast at ~ 45 MPH. At this time (7:32 PM) a very convincing couplet is just to the west of Yanceyville, NC; there is probably a large tornado occurring with this storm right now! People in the Carolinas into southern Virginia should remain especially alert into the overnight, as night time tornadoes can be especially dangerous. Now is a great time for everyone to put fresh batteries in your NOAA weather radios as severe weather season is here for sure!
