Tornado in downtown Raleigh, NC

WRAL broadcast of tornado going through Raleigh, NC.

RALEIGH, N.C. — Twelve supercell thunderstorms produced at least 25 tornadoes across North Carolina on Saturday, the National Weather Service said Tuesday.

The outbreak was the largest collection of tornadoes in the state in 27 years, according meteorologist Jeff Orrock with the weather service.

Many of the storms produced families of tornadoes, spawning one after another, Orrock said. Five of the tornadoes were EF3 storms, with wind speeds of 136 to 165 mph.

Eight more were EF2 tornadoes, with wind speeds of 111 to 135 mph. Another eight were EF1, with wind speeds of 86 to 110 mph, and four were EF0, with wind speeds of 65 to 86 mph.

@Patriik23 I'm guessing that wherever it is that you're actually from, you're ashamed of it since you list USA as your location on your profile.....but I'm sure that there are those in the US who are sympathetic to your afflictions of both stupidity and being ugly as shit....I'm just not one of them.

@Patriik23 Why do you have to come to a video about a tornado in a city in USA, which can kill a lot of people, just to hate and sit at your god damn computer. I was there, and I can say when every News channel was down I fucking took cover. So stop being selfish because you don't have tornadoes in your ever so great Canada
