We were living in Mayodan (for a very brief time) in 1997/1998 when a tornado cut a swath through Rockingham County and virtually wiped out downtown Stoneville. We were lucky enough to have been out of town that weekend, but surveying the aftermath was eye-opening. Very scary stuff.

There was a tornado a year or two later that tore through a section of Clemmons, outside of Winston-Salem. For several years, you could still see a path of broken trees from I-40.

I remember watching the news report of the destruction in Mayodan
on Fox 8 news

During the coverage of these recent storms, I heard something I didn't know...NC has more overnight tornadoes than any other state! Not a comforting thought, for sure.

It never has been I can think of plenty of Sleepless nights
and if you live in the Piedmont you cant see it coming ahead of time
in the daylight
due to the hills & trees

I thought everyone knew NC had tornadoes.

Every time there is one, the national news media documents the toothless North Carolinian saying, "It sounded like a freight train!"

I was here for Hurricane Fran, and sure enough, the resulting tornado sounded like a freight train.

Y'ain't a real North Carolinian 'til ya hear the freight train.

You would think they would and know North Carolina is
also one of the top 5 states for lightening death too
Reason I did as a Warning As we have many prior threads
that question if we have any or that they only hit non pupulated areas
here

LOL! Only hit unpopulated areas? That's the funniest thing I've ever heard. Yes, the Great Tornado King looks down and says, "There's a nice rural area with a few mobile homes! Score!"

There was also a big one in the Clinton area in March of 1984. March and November are the months to most worry about (change of weather patterns).
