The AWOS station in Mount Olive reported a wind gust of 64 mph.

The wider storm

A mid-level trough approaching the Mid South and a slow moving surface cold front across western and northern North Carolina kept central North Carolina in a deep and moist southwest flow. Afternoon heating in the east contributed to a few fast-moving bowing segments that produced severe straight-line winds and led to downed trees and power lines.

Began near Mt Olive Arpt (35.2208, -78.0394).
