Major Tornado Outbreak’s One Year Anniversary
By Gannon Medwick
Tuesday, April 28, 2009
On April 28, 2008, supercell thunderstorms spawned two dozen tornadoes in our region. Tornado reports included:
- an EF0 tornado near Belhaven, Beaufort County (no damage)
- an EF0 tornado near Scranton, Hyde County (no damage)
Just to our north, nearly twenty tornadoes ripped southeastern Virginia one year ago today, including a bruising EF3 tornado that struck the City of Suffolk (CLICK HERE for more details and stats from that incredibly rare and violent Virginia twister).
No doubt, April 28, 2008 was one of the most violent weather days our region has seen in the last decade and even last century. April 28, 2009 will feature sunny, tranquil, spring conditions across the Carolinas and Virginia with a 0% chance for thunderstorms.
