A supercell thunderstorm came ashore in Carteret County and produced several tornadoes, as well as severe thunderstorm wind gusts.

Tornado in CARTERET, NORTH CAROLINA
From 24-NOV-18 14:10:00 to 24-NOV-18 14:16:00 (EST-5)
Location: BROAD CREEK
Tornado F-scale: EF2
Property damage: 0.00K
Crop damage: 0.00K
Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

The tornado began near the intersection of 8th street and Ocean Drive in
Emerald Isle with two houses sustaining uplift of the roof deck and
significant loss of roof covering material. Some utility lines were also
damaged along Ocean Drive. The path crossed Ocean drive through a row of
houses between 8th and 7th street. Multiple homes had siding damage
with one large work trailer turned over. It was here the worst damage
occured with one house losing large sections of the roof but the walls
were still standing. Part of the roofing material was found across
Highway 58, where damage to a boat dock occurred along Bogue Sound. As
the tornado became a waterspout over Bogue Sound it likely weakened
significantly as it crossed back over land as a tornado near Adams Lane
and Broad Creek Loop Road. Here some very minor siding damage occurred
along with some trampolines blown into a tree. Here the winds were
likely closer to an EF-0 or closer to around 80 MPH.
Eyewitness accounts of the tornado in Emerald Isle mentioned more of a
rolling feature coming on land versus a circulation. Due to the radar
signature, narrow path and significant, intense damage just east of 8th
street the evidence pointed toward tornadic versus straight line damage.

Tornado in CARTERET, NORTH CAROLINA
From 24-NOV-18 14:40:00 to 24-NOV-18 14:41:00 (EST-5)
Location: MILL CREEK
Tornado F-scale: EF0
Property damage: 0.00K
Crop damage: 0.00K
Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

Multiple eyewitnesses along Mill Creek Road in Newport reported multiple
waterspouts over Harlowe Creek Saturday afternoon after 230 PM. Across
the street from 2721 Mill Creek Road at a Oyster Farm the waterspout
came onshore briefly as a tornado. Crab pots were thrown across Mill
Creek Road as the tornado moved through. The tornado lifted as it moved
through a wooded area, before causing more very minor damage near the
intersection of Dowty Road and Mill Creek Road. Top wind speeds were
estimated to be around 65 MPH based on some minor limb damage and the
damage to the crab pots.
Note, a separate area of damage was also found just east of this track
along Mill Landing Point Road. Siding damage was found to two houses,
along with a path of light outdoor materials (gas cans, furniture,
etc), and two uprooted trees. The siding damage may have been from
Florence, but the tree damage and light outdoor materials appeared to be
fresh. We were unable to make contact with either homeowner so as of now
this area is not included in the report above. If we obtain further
information a second separate tornado track may be needed.

Tornado in CARTERET, NORTH CAROLINA
From 24-NOV-18 14:06:00 to 24-NOV-18 14:07:00 (EST-5)
Location: CAPE CARTERET
Tornado F-scale: EF0
Property damage: 0.00K
Crop damage: 0.00K
Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

The tornado path started along the shores of Bogue Sound near Bayshore
Drive in Cape Carteret and quickly moved north-northeast across Live Oak Drive. An
eyewitness here saw the tornado move down the street. Damage included
minor uplift of a porch, along with some siding and a uprooted tree.
More damage occurred along Park Avenue from near Live Oak Drive to Easy
Street. Most of the significant damage was blown toward the north
(southerly wind) and included large limbs down, along with damage to a
power line. In addition some shingles were blown off of a new roof. Of
interest was a tremendous amount of leaf debris that was along the north
and east sides of the houses along both Live Oak Drive and Park Avenue.
Although very subtle, this leaf debris could only occur on those sides
of the homes with a north to northeast wind, which was in the opposite
direction of most of the storm damage and therefore indicated likely
rotation. The damage path ended near the corner of Park Avenue and Easy
Street.
Overall damage along the path was relatively minor with 1 tree uprooted
that was already leaning due to Florence, and minor shingle loss of
another structure. Top winds were estimated to be around 80 mph or an
EF0 tornado.
