Carolinas Tornado Outbreak

Posted in Severe Weather Post-analysis at 8:00 am by Rebekah

There were another hundred or so tornado reports yesterday, most of which were in North Carolina. The actual number of confirmed tornadoes will be generally be less than the number of tornado reports, but the last three days have been especially impressive in terms of large tornadoes. Sadly, a number of people have been killed and there has been some significant damage.

I do think the Storm Prediction Center did pretty well in forecasting this outbreak; unfortunately many of the tornadoes just went through fairly high populated areas.
