Episode Narrative: Unusually high levels of moisture for early February combined with a slow-moving frontal system to produce an extended period of moderate to heavy rainfall across western North Carolina from the morning of the 5th until the early morning hours of the 7th. Intense rain rates associated with bands of heavy rain showers and embedded thunderstorms developing along the front during the morning and afternoon of the 7th resulted in rather widespread flash flooding. Isolated tornadoes also developed during this time across the Piedmont. Total rainfall of 3 to 6 inches resulted in flooding persisting along some main stem rivers and larger streams well into the 7th. Unusually high levels of moisture for early February combined with a slow-moving frontal system to produce an extended period of moderate to heavy rainfall across western North Carolina from the morning of the 5th until the early morning hours of the 7th. Event Narrative: NWS storm survey found the damage path of an EF2 tornado that began just west of I-85 near Lane St where trees were snapped and uprooted as the tornado crossed the interstate and moved east along Lane St. The awning of a service station was also damaged. The tornado then moved along Old Salisbury-Concord Rd snapping and uprooting trees until it reached Gold Fish Rd where several homes were damaged. The tornado then moved east along Irish Potato Rd snapping and uprooting trees. Farther along this road another home was damaged. Little damage was noted as the tornado moved east until it crossed Dutch Buffalo Creek where trees were snapped and uprooted. The strongest damage was found just east along Pless Rd where several homes were damaged. The tornado weakened as it moved east snapping and uprooting trees as it went. The tornado ended near Sisk-Carter Rd. Although heavy rainfall tapered off across Union County into the evening, runoff from the earlier rainfall resulted in high water conditions persisted, with multiple roads remaining closed through late evening. NWS storm survey found a tornado that began in southeast Cleveland County moved into Gaston County in the Crowders Mountain State Park area. Numerous snapped trees were found as the tornado moved east crossing Pinnacle Rd and Sparrow Springs Rd. The damage ended near Freedom Mill Rd with snapped and broken large branches. A weakening tornado moved into Union County from Mecklenburg County near Idlewild Rd. Damage in Union County was generally confined to downed weakened and dead trees before the tornado lifted near Hawthorne Drive in Indian Trail. Although heavy rain tapered off across the Catawba River basin throughout the afternoon of the 6th, floodwaters continued to rise along the South Fork Catawba, as runoff from 4 to 6 inches of rain continued to work its way through the watershed. Major flood stage was reached by late evening of the 6th, and the worst flooding since 2013 was observed in the Cramerton and McAdenville areas. Flooding of multiple structures occurred, particularly along Riverside Dr and 8th Ave in Cramerton. Otherwise, numerous roads were inundated, including some due to backwater effects along tributaries of the South Fork Catawba. A stream gauge on the South Fork Catawba at Lowell indicated flash flooding developed along the stream in eastern Gaston County after 4 to 6 inches of rain fell throughout the basin in about 24 hours, with much of that falling during the morning and early afternoon of the 6th. Some of the main impacts were in Cramerton, where Riverside Dr was inundated, as were several parking lots. The yards of homes were flooded along Catawba Run Rd and Old Willis School Rd was flooded due to backwater effects along Hoyle Creek. Spotter reported multiple trees blown down in the area bound by Highway 3, Old Airport Road, and Highway 73. Stream gauges indicated flash flooding along multiple creeks in the city of Charlotte after 2.5 to 4 inches of rain fell across the area in around 24 hours with much of that falling on the morning into the afternoon of the 6th. Mallard Creek overflowed its banks and flooded parking lots at PNC Music Pavillion as well as the greenway along North Tryon St. McMullen Creek inundated Addison Dr with more than a foot of water. Briar Creek flooded Shannonhouse Dr Masonic Dr Central Ave and the parking lot of an apartment complex in east Charlotte. Significant flooding developed along Sugar Creek in southwest Charlotte with water inundating several buildings along Southern Pines and Red Oak Blvds. NWS storm survey found an EF2 tornado damage path that began near the intersection of Battleground Rd and I-85. Trees were snapped and uprooted along the path as it moved east to near the intersection of Dixon School Rd and Bethlehem Rd. Here a couple of homes were damaged. Just east of there the strongest damage was found as a couple of high tension electrical transmission towers were blown down. The tornado weakened as it moved east snapping and uprooting trees as it crossed York Rd before moving into Gaston County. Stream gauges along Goose Creek in the Indian Trail area indicated flash flooding developed after 3.5 to 4 inches of rain fell across the basin in 24 hours, with a significant portion of that falling during the afternoon of the 6th. Multiple roads were inundated with water from Goose Creek and also due to poor drainage, including Stevens Mill Rd and Howey Bottom Rd. Newspaper reported additional roads were closed due to flooding in other parts of the county, with more than 20 roads closed at the height of the event. NWS storm survey found a tornado damage path that began almost exactly on the NC/SC line along Nations Ford Rd west of Pineville. Trees were snapped or uprooted along its path until it reached an industrial area west of I-485 where several large buildings suffered roof damage and a wall collapsed at a building under construction. The damage in this area suggests winds of 90 to 95 mph which were the strongest winds of the event. The tornado maintained strength as it crossed I-485 and traveled across largely residential areas of southern Mecklenburg County causing scattered tree damage. At least one tree fell on a house in this area. More damage to large trees occurred along Highway 51 in Matthews east of Elizabeth Lane Elementary. The tornado weakened from there but caused more tree damage on West John St closer to the city center. Tree damage continued in scattered locations after the tornado crossed Independence Blvd and again I-485 before entering Union County. Newspaper reported flash flooding developed along the South Fork Catawba River and at least one of its tributaries after around 5 inches of rain fell across the area in 24 hours, with much of that falling during the morning and early afternoon of the 6th. The South Fork flooded multiple low lying roads and greenway areas in Lincolnton and vicinity, including Reepsville and Madison St. Muddy Creek overflowed its banks near the intersection of Gates Rd and Highway 321, flooding a vehicle detailing business and damaging or destroying multiple vehicles. Although heavy rainfall tapered off across the South Fork Catawba River basin through the afternoon and into the evening, runoff from the day's excessive rainfall resulted in high water conditions persisting along the river and some of its tributaries through the evening. Although heavy rain steadily tapered off across the Charlotte area during the afternoon into the evening  stream gauges indicated high water conditions lingered along portions of Mallard Creek Briar Creek and especially Sugar Creek through late evening. A stream gauge on the Rocky River above Irish Buffalo Creek indicated flooding developed mainly along tributaries of the river including Back Creek Irish Buffalo Creek and Dutch Buffalo Creek after 2 to 4 inches of rain fell across Cabarrus County in around 24 hours. Multiple roads were inundated including Stallings Rd Poplar Tent Rd Bowman-Berrier Rd Mount Pleasant Rd and Highway 200.
