What the National Weather Service wrote

A supercell associated with Tropical Storm Elsa moved north from the Pamlico

Sound into mainland Hyde County during the afternoon. Photo and video

showed a tornado of unknown intensity in rural areas of Hyde County. Radar data

indicates the tornado moved nearly due north, parallel to Piney Woods Road (Co.

Road 1305) on the west side of Lake Mattamuskeet. This was corroborated by

witness accounts during the survey.

The tornado caused no damage from which the NWS survey team could assign an

EF-scale rating; therefore per Directive 10-1605, this tornado has a rating of EFU.

Start and ending coordinates and times were estimated via radar.
