EF0 tornado in Columbus County, North Carolina

A tornado formed just northeast of the intersection of Bordeux Rd

and Delco Prosper Rd where several large branches were broken. The

tornado then traveled northwest close to Livingston Chapel Rd, and

produced high-end EF0 damage due to roof damage on a double wide

manufactured home and a trailer flipped over. Trees were also

snapped along the way, and damage continued until the tornado

lifted shortly after passing Connor Rd.

Hurricane Dorian strengthened to a Category 5 hurricane as it moved through the Bahamas, with devastating damage. It weakened as it moved up the eastern seaboard.

Rainfall amounts along the coast ranged from ten to fifteen inches with lesser amounts inland. Hurricane force winds remained offshore, with several sites along the coast reporting gusts over 60 mph. Damage was due mainly from the tornadoes, with many reports of flash flooding. Power outages were minimal. The hurricane exited the region by the afternoon of September 6th.
