| Episode Narrative | A supercell thunderstorm came ashore in Carteret County and produced several tornadoes, as well as severe thunderstorm wind gusts. |
| Event Narrative | Multiple eyewitnesses along Mill Creek Road in Newport reported multiple waterspouts over Harlowe Creek Saturday afternoon after 230 PM. Across the street from 2721 Mill Creek Road at a Oyster Farm the waterspout came onshore briefly as a tornado. Crab pots were thrown across Mill Creek Road as the tornado moved through. The tornado lifted as it moved through a wooded area, before causing more very minor damage near the intersection of Dowty Road and Mill Creek Road. Top wind speeds were estimated to be around 65 MPH based on some minor limb damage and the damage to the crab pots. Note, a separate area of damage was also found just east of this track along Mill Landing Point Road. Siding damage was found to two houses, along with a path of light outdoor materials (gas cans, furniture, etc), and two uprooted trees. The siding damage may have been from Florence, but the tree damage and light outdoor materials appeared to be fresh. We were unable to make contact with either homeowner so as of now this area is not included in the report above. If we obtain further information a second separate tornado track may be needed. |
