An EF-3 tornado, with winds at least 135 mph, caused damage across portions of Nash County, North Carolina Wednesday. Storm investigators from the National Weather Service office in Raleigh are on the ground in Nash and Edgecombe counties surveying the damage. A supercell tornado produced the tornado Wednesday. The National Weather Service is still working to confirm the distance the tornado was on the ground, but based on preliminary storm damage assessments, the tornado was on the ground for several miles. Officials are still working to determine the extent of storm damage, which in the immediate aftermath caused extensive damage to a Pfizer building and a still undetermined number of businesses and homes. Additional storms and severe weather are forecast in both North Carolina and South Carolina, with most of the Carolinas in a 2% chance of seeing a tornado, based on the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center Outlook.
