  • So Charlie Gaddy didn't always anchor the 11 p.m. news? I thought John Hudson was seen primarily at noon.

  • @bhayes06 This is the 6 p.m. news from that day. Charlie Gaddy was field anchoring from Mount Olive, but that appeared in the second half-hour, which I don't have.

  • DIFAX Map! Those were the days :)

  • They were EXTREMELY large in 1984 -- and the 2011 event had some huge tornadoes. The biggest in 1984 however were 2000+ yards wide!

  • RIP John Hudson

  • Thank you for this. This was broadcast 5 days after I was born. It sure makes me feel old!

  • Difference from the 1984 Outbreak and the 2011 Outbreak is that the tornadoes hit the Central NC from Sanford to Raleigh, but the 1984 actually had hit the same counties that got hit hard by powerful tornadoes. The good thing is that we are coming over the 2011 Outbreak.

  • Interesting video. I'd like to see one from WTVD about this

  • WHERE DID U FIND THIS????

  • This was the worst tornado outbreak in NC's history until the 4/16/11 outbreak

  • Aye, i'd love to see the reporting going on during the storm if that was available.
