Survey Summary:
An EF-1 tornado touched down near Casar, North Carolina. The
first evidence of damage was observed along Parker Road near
Jesse Mountain Road, where several large pine trees were uprooted
or snapped near the tops of their trunks. The most concentrated
damage occurred as the tornado tracked eastward across Dirty
Ankle Road and Ankle Road. Numerous trees were uprooted or
snapped, and several homes sustained primarily minor damage. An
attached porch was displaced several feet from a manufactured
home. Trees fell in a convergent pattern, supporting the
determination that the damage was tornadic. A camper was
overturned, and one person who was inside at the time sustained
minor injuries. The tornado continued eastward into far
northwestern Lincoln County, producing sporadic tree damage near
North Carolina Highway 10 before dissipating near the Lincoln
County and Catawba County line. The estimated peak wind speed was
90 mph.

We appreciate the coordination with the Cleveland County 
Emergency Management.
