EF0 tornado in Catawba County, North Carolina

This tornado touched down in extreme southeast Catawba, on a Lake Norman peninsula. Damage was first observed in the area around Kiser Island Rd and Barbor Circle. Numerous trees and large limbs were downed along Harbor Circle, with the roofs of several homes damaged by falling debris. Some minor roof damage was observed due to wind. A boat docked near Harbor Circle was blown across the lake, washing up on shore on the Iredell County side of the lake. The tornado continued east northeast over Lake Norman, crossing into Iredell County just west of the Hager Creek access area.

Scattered supercell thunderstorms developed over the western Carolinas and northeast Georgia as strong wind shear and moderate instability overspread the region ahead of a strong cold front. A number of tornadoes were spawned by the storms. Two strong tornadoes affected the western piedmont and foothills of North Carolina.
