Tornadoes in North Carolina: Where did more than 330 twisters touch down since 2010?

North Carolina has seen tornadoes rip across its landscape from the mountains to the coast.

More than 330 of them have touched down in the state from 2010 through 2019, killing 30 people and injuring 670 more. The twisters caused more than $600 million in damage, according to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

In addition, the National Weather Service is investigating if tornadoes touched down in Kannapolis and in Rowan County on Thursday.

The deadliest tornado struck Bertie County, killing 12 and injuring 55. It hit on April 16, 2011 – North Carolina’s worst tornado outbreak in the past decade.

Forty-seven twisters spun across the state that day, from Rowan County, just outside of Charlotte, all the way to the ocean.

The Bertie County tornado was an EF3, with a wind speed between 136 and 165 miles per hour. Eight EF3 tornadoes hit North Carolina since 2010.

The strongest to hit Mecklenburg County during that time was an EF2 in 2012. That twister touched down in east Charlotte, near Dulin Creek Road, according to NOAA. At its biggest, it measured 200 yards wide and ran for 1.5 miles before dissipating.

It injured four people and damaged 162 homes, data show.

“Four homes slid off their foundations and were completely destroyed,” NOAA records state. “Twenty-nine homes were rendered uninhabitable from collapsed exterior walls.
