CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - The National Weather Service has confirmed that two tornadoes touched down in North Carolina early Thursday morning and they were part of the same series of ferocious storms which caused hundreds of deaths and damage throughout the South Wednesday evening. tornadoes confirmed in NC on Thursday. A tornado blew off the roof of this home on Beatrice Lane in Caldwell County, NC. Lots of trees and power lines were knocked down as the storms moved across the Carolinas early Thursday morning.
A tornado begins in a severe thunderstorm called a supercell. A supercell can last longer than a regular thunderstorm. The same property that keeps the storm going also produces most tornadoes. The wind coming into the storm starts to swirl and forms a funnel. The air in the funnel spins faster and faster and creates a very low pressure area which sucks more air (and possibly objects) into it. Tornadoes can form any time during the year, but most form in May. But, more severe ones form earlier because the most damge is caused in April. The more north you go, the later the peak tornado season is. This is because it takes longer to warm the northern parts of the plains so tornadoes form later.
